The Perfect Wife

Chapter 65. First Shot

Lara stepped back as someone banged on the door. He's getting panicked. Lara leaned against the wall not too far from where she was standing. A round of tears flowed because Lara was very, very scared. It's not just the noise he hears. Lara also heard the sound of gunfire that was so terrible that it made Lara's feelings more and more unnerved.

“Kak Bi.” Lara ran to the bathroom when she saw the door handle twitching. Lara was afraid that the bad guy would make it in and hurt her. When she arrives in the bathroom, Lara looks confused because she does not know what to do. The only person he could hope for was not there.

“How is this?” 

Lara remembers the firearm Fabio gave her. The woman pulled out her firearm. He holds the weapon while imagining how Walter uses it. The awkward tone was indeed when holding a dangerous object that Lara had never held in her life.

“I just need to press this then the bullet will come out,” said Lara full of confidence. He took his phone and searched for ways to use a firearm on Google. What good news. Lara quickly found a tutorial using a firearm whose shape is not much different from the weapon she now holds. Lara now has the courage to fight the enemy. Even if he himself does not know, the ending will win or lose.

The noise made Lara again alert. He was convinced that the bad man had made it into the room. The door of the room was like it had succeeded in breaking. Lara stepped back and kept her distance from the bathroom door. The bathroom key is nothing. Maybe just one kick is open. 

“Fight or die,” Lara said in a soft voice. His hands were shaking violently. His body was now wet with sweat. Lara stared at the door without blinking. Suddenly, the voice disappeared. Like there's no one else out there. Lara lowered her weapon slowly. He wanted to make sure that his enemy was no longer in the room. Lara walked forward step by step. Breathing's dashed. As Lara got closer, the door opened wide.

Spontaneously Lara picked up the firearm and pressed the trigger with her eyes closed.

DUARR

“Chubby,” Og Fabio.

Lara peeked with doubt. However, when he saw Fabio standing there his breath was relieved again. Lara throws the firearm on the floor and runs to hug Fabio. The woman hugged Fabio very, very tightly because she did not want to be left again. Now his heart was much calmer compared to the previous seconds.

Fabio raised his hand and hugged Lara tightly. The man buried his scar-filled face inside Lara's hair. Her arms bleed fresh to make the dress worn by Lara turn red. 

“Are you okay?” ask Fabio. He examines Lara's body to make sure there are no wounds on Lara's body. 

“Kak, Lara is fine.” Lara looked at the wound on Fabio's arm. “Kak Bi, did the shot hurt brother's hand?” ask Lara with a guilty face.

Fabio shakes. “At least your shot was on target. That means I don't have to worry about leaving you alone anymore.”

“Im sorry Lara, Brother. Don't leave Lara again. Lara scared.” Lara hugged Fabio. Now he doesn't know where else to take refuge. While Fabio, can only smile and rub Lara's hair.

“Chubby,” murmured in the heart.

***

The sky was dark indicating it was night. The atmosphere that night looked very bright. The stars shine brightly in space even though the moon still looks shy to appear.

In the car, Lara still looks traumatized by what happened earlier. He hoped it was all a nightmare. Lara could not bear to be faced with the same incident as before, Besides being tense is also very emotionally draining. 

“Chubby, are you okay?” ask Fabio. The man occasionally looked at Lara's face before returning to focus at the pace of his drive.

“Kak Bi, exactly what happened?” ask Lara expectantly. He also wanted to know where Fabio was going and why the man could appear in the hotel room in such a short time.

“Kak Bi ... don't talk like that. Lara got scared,” Lara.

“Good. But, you should not put on such a sad face either. Chubby, whatever I'm gonna do is for your own good. Your salvation. You must believe that I will never let you hurt and suffer!”

“Thank you, Brother. Kak Bi is the perfect big sister,” said Lara with a small smile. Fabio just kept quiet and refocused on the pace of his car.

“Do not know why. When Lara told me that I was the perfect big sister, suddenly there was a sense of disbelief in my heart. Why am I really?” fabio murmured in the heart.

Lara took a long breath. Suddenly he remembered Walter. “Kak, where's Walter? Is she okay?”

“There is an important mission he must complete tonight too!” fabio answered before increasing the speed of his car.

On the other hand, Alex fiddled with his phone screen with a bored face. That afternoon when the car Lara was riding away, Fabio's men took off their grip. They don't care about Alex. After Alex's car breaks down, they leave. Alex has to get home in a taxi. 

Now the man again imagined the romance that occurred between Lara and Fabio. Jealous heart. This is not just a greedy feeling because Lara is already beautiful. But, the love. Alex begins to feel a love that he has never felt before. Alex can't see the woman he loves with another man. What else until smiling happily with another man. He wanted only himself to be able to make Lara happy.

“When with Fiona first, I never felt this way. Is my relationship with Fiona just lust? Is there really no love between us? But why was I so afraid of losing Fiona?” Alex put his phone on the table and looked at the window. “When I was near Lara, I had never felt this kind of happiness. It feels like something very foreign. I'm jealous. It was so jealous to see Lara with the man. But, what can I do? It seems like there is no hope anymore for us together.”

Alex rubbed his face with his hands. He was leaning with a frustrated face. “I've already left Fiona and Hana dead for fear that they are blocking my desire to unite with Lara. Turns out I was wrong. My real opponent is Fabio. Not Fiona or Hana. I'm the same as that mafia guy. I'm a murderer. Do I just back off?”

Alex nodded slowly. “No. I should be able to get Lara's heart. I love her so much. It's really love. Yep. I love her so much. I have to prove to Lara that I really have changed and want to be her husband again,” muttered Alex excitedly.

Alex's phone rings. Alex immediately raised the call.

“Hallo, who is this?” alex asked because the number that contacted him was a new number.

“I Mark. Alex, a man is coming to pick you up. You just come along. We have to meet.”

Call disconnected.

“Hallo, Mark. But, I can't. Hello!” Alex cursed when he found out the phone call was over. He took a rough breath before moving from there.

“What else now? What does he want to talk about? Why is his life always a hassle!” Alex picks up a brown jacket located on the back of the sofa.

Tok

“So soon,” murmured Alex. He put his phone in his pocket and stepped towards the door. Alex opened the door wide without even peeking at who was coming.

Suddenly a block of wood landed on Alex's head. The man fell on the floor without even seeing the face of the person who had just hit him on the head.
