The Princess Mayor

28. Nicholas's feelings and Alex's disappointment.

"sir, it looks like this new prisoner is suffering from a mental breakdown." Said one of the Police Officers to his superior.

The superior was stunned, this incident often happened to new prisoners.

Yet he could not carelessly decide about it.

There must be information from the medical parties about this situation, then he took action.

"Just leave it like that for a while." Reply to the Police Commander.

They went back to their respective places, leaving Yatno who was shouting to call Hani by name.

After the capture of Dante and Yatno, Karto and Dorman were arrested along with other men, after several days of pursuit by the police.

His wife Karto even felt grateful if her husband was arrested by the police.

He was already furious with the behavior of Karto who was like a market thug in his village. Not only embarrassed, Karto's wife even often hit by Karto himself if trying to advise or 'pun reprimand him when committing plunder or impalement to every villager.

With this case, Karto's wife can also be separated from the unhealthy bondage of the household with Karto.

"Does that help me! I don't want to be in jail!" Ratap Karto to Atikah who came to visit him.

"Receive karma from your actions!" Atikah said cynically to Karto.

Karto looked down sluggishly, he did not want to rot in the iron bars.

"I'm your Husband, Rat." Said Darto.

"former!" Atikah said firmly.

"Ex-what? We're still spouses!" Firmly Karto while glaring at Atikah.

Atikah took out a brown envelope from the bag she was carrying. Then he handed it to Karto.

"From this moment on, we are no longer Husband-Wife!" Assertive Atikah while moving away from Karto.

"Anyway, Atikah!" Call Karto over and over again.

But Atikah did not listen to the call from Karto and continued to move her legs forward.

Several officers came and secured Karto back into the bars.

Not to forget, they also told Karto to bring a brown envelope given by Atikah.

The Raharja residence...

"Start tomorrow, I'll get out of this house, Ra. My job is done, and you're safe now." Nicholas said to Leira who was sitting next to him.

The two of them are now on the upper balcony enjoying the beauty of the moonlight.

"Thank you, Nichol. If it wasn't for you, maybe those criminals would have stayed free out there." Leira said as she turned her head to look at the moon.

To be honest, Nicholas is still not willing to part with Leira again.

But Nicholas was embarrassed to admit it now. And can only be caught up with the circumstances.

Perhaps Nicholas will no longer be able to live in Leira's house. But as long as he was in one city with her, the possibility of meeting each day would remain.

"I thank you too, Ra. During my stay here, I troubled you a lot, and Bi Nenah." Nicholas said grimly.

Leira turned to her best friend, then threw a sweet smile that made Nicholas' heart tremble even more.

"What are you talking about, Nichol. It's not you that's troublesome, but me, Bi Nenah, and Mang Ujang."

Nicholas' heart was pounding at Leira's increasingly beautiful smile.

Almost, Nicholas lost consciousness because he was lulled by the beauty that was before him. Even Leira's smile, no less beautiful than the moonlight.

"Leira ...," Nicholas' voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and could not continue his words to say if he liked Leira at this time.

"N-no! It's okay!" Nicholas stammered.

"Ka- ...,"

"Non Leira, there's a call!" Leira's speech was interrupted due to Bi Nenah's shout.

"Good, Bi!" Leira returned Bi Nenah's scream from above.

"What did you say, Nichol?" Leira asked, looking back at Nicholas.

Nicholas scratched his head without itching to hear Leira's question. For some reason, he did not have the courage to express his feelings.

"I forgot ...," said Nicholas with a cry.

"Well, if you forget, I won't force you either." Reply Leira then moved from her seat.

"Where are you going?" Nicholas is amazed that Leira wants to leave him.

"So, Bi Nenah said there was a call for me." Leira answered as she walked away from Nicholas who became sullen.

After Leira left, Nicholas patted his own forehead.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"Why don't I just tell Leira the same, if I like her." Nicholas muttered slowly.

He still patted his own forehead as if regretting his cowardly attitude.

Downstairs, Leira is talking to Alex by phone.

"Where have you been, Ra? Why is your phone also disabled?" Knock Alex on the phone.

"I'm sorry, Lex. My phone is still in the police's hands, even today' even my phone is still there." Leira's repulsive speech made Alex surprised to hear the word police.

"What's wrong with you, Ra? What accident? Or how?" Alex chases Leira with a lot of questions.

Leira chuckles at Alex clutching her with questions.

"He-he ... I'm fine, Lex."

"Why then, is your phone confiscated by the police?" Alex asked again sounding anxious.

Leira' also told me all the events she's been going through lately. Even Nicholas' arrival did not escape he talked to Alex.

"So your father and mother were victims of the evil of the greedy?" Alex asks at the end of Leira's story.

"Yes!"

"Then why, you didn't tell me, Ra? At least, I'll come and accompany you there!" Said Alex who was disappointed because he could not accompany Leira in difficult times.

"I don't want to, Lex. But it was the police themselves who asked me not to involve outsiders in this matter." Reply Leira which makes Alex a little upset.

Alex felt he was not considered because he was not involved in Leira's problem. Especially when he heard that some people broke into the house and had taken Bi Nenah hostage. Alex feels failed because he cannot protect his future wife.

"So you think I'm an outsider?" Alex said coldly.

Leira felt guilty for saying those words, but that was the truth. The police asked him not to involve anyone else in their case yesterday. Besides being dangerous, the problem will get more complicated.

"That's not what I meant, Lex. Yesterday was very dangerous, so the police did not want to add to the list of fatalities." Obviously Leira is soft.

But Alex was already disappointed, and decided to end their conversation.

"It's okay, I get it. After all, I am none of you, I am just an unsuspecting outsider. Even when I was tormented by longing, I was never considered."

After saying that, Alex immediately hung up his phone.
