The Princess Mayor

7. Nicholas Mahendra's.

The next day, several officers from the police visited Raharja's residence.

"Good morning, Miss!" Said a police officer to Hu Liena.

"Good morning too, sir!" Hu Liena replied with a sense of astonishment seethed in her heart.

"Sorry Miss, we from the police would like to meet Miss Leira Raharja." Said the police officer.

"I'm alone, sir." Respond politely.

"What a coincidence, we'd like to ask you a few questions."Obviously the police officer.

Leira furrowed her brows, "What's the matter, sir?"

"This is the problem of the attack that happened to Mr. Cristhian Raharja and his family." Said the police officer.

"Good, Sir. Please!" Leira.

"Good, Miss. Let's just go with the first question." The police officer paused for a moment, after a few seconds resumed. "Does Father Cristhian have enemies during his lifetime?"

Leira shook her head, "No, sir!"

"His mother, perhaps?" Follow the police officer.

"Nothing! My parents never had enemies, sir." Leira answered with confidence.

Leira tells the truth, her parents never had any enemies at all during her life.

In fact, they are well known among their neighbors and colleagues.

The police officer nodded his head, then spoke again.

"We will continue to investigate the case to the fullest, and to ensure your safety, we will put in place several officers to guard the house."

"Is that necessary, sir?" Ask Leira wonder.

"of course! we're worried, if you'll be made the next target." Obviously the police officer.

"Alright sir, I won't reject him."

"Later, there'll be a colleague of mine coming. And if you need help, you can call her."

"Good!" Liera nodded her head in response to the remark from the police officer.

"Alright, Miss. I have to go because there's another duty call, thanks for your time and good afternoon."

The police officer waved his hand at Leira.

Liera welcomed her hand, replying. "Good day too, sir!"

After the departure of the police officer, bi Nenah approached her employer. "Miss, that's the police why come here." Ask bi Nenah with her Sundanese accent.

"There's nothing bi, just nothing."

"ohh .. thanks or if there's nothing mah, aunty so calm hear it too."

"Yes bi ..," Leira said.

"Yes, Non, aunt wants to go back first." Pamit bi Nenah because there is nothing else she wants to ask.

"In a moment, bi." Leira hurriedly stopped him.

"What's up, Non?"

"Tadi ... police officer said, if there will be some people in charge to guard this house. So please bi, prepare food for them." Leira said to bi Nenah.

"Aduuhhhh .. eta mah gampil pisan atuh, Non." Sahut bi Nenah still with his Sundanese accent.

"He-he .. yes, yes bi." Said Leira while chuckling at the behavior of bi Nenah.

By nightfall, several officers returned to Leira's house.

And one of them was Nicholas Mahendra, a classmate of Leira's in elementary school.

However, after graduating from Nicholas elementary school and his family decided to move out of town.

Although today she and Leira meet again, it is likely that they will never know each other again.

Nicholas who has now served as Adjunct Commissioner of Police (AKP). He is currently assigned to look after a girl who is suspected to be the next murder victim after the deaths of her parents.

tok...

Nicholas knocked on the door of Raharja's house.

Cklek~

The door opened from the inside, and the figure of bi Nenah emerged from behind the door.

"Good night!" Nicholas said with his accent.

"Sorry ma'am, I would like to meet Miss Raharja."

"Please go in first, sir." Said bi Nenah while inviting his guests in.

"Okay, thank you." Nicholas said as he walked into the house.

Inside the room, Liera had just finished her regular book-reading activity. And it was continued by rearranging his books into a shelf beside his bed.

tok...

"Non, Non Leira!" Speak to Nenah from outside the room.

"Before bi ...," Reply Leira.

After reassembling the books to their original place, Leira went out of the room to meet bi Nenah.

"What's bi?"

"Outside there's the police father, he says he wants to talk to Non Leira." Bi Nenah.

Leira, who intends to go to bed early, must now undo her intentions because there are guests who want to meet her.

"Okay, Ara's there now." He said, then he walked towards the living room.

Upon arrival, Leira was greeted kindly by a handsome-looking man.

"Good night Miss ...,"

"Leira, Leira Raharja." Leira introduced her name.

"God ... Miss Leira." The police repeated his name.

"Yes .. right, sir."

The policeman seemed silent for a moment, after a few seconds he continued his words.

"Miss certainly knows from my previous colleagues, if from today I will be responsible for maintaining your safety."

"Yes sir, my father's colleague explained it to me this afternoon." Liera.

"Well, I hope you can be invited to cooperate by the police and always be cooperative so that we can take care of you as much as possible" said Nicholas.

"Good, sir." Leira Sahut.

In the middle of their conversation, bi Nenah came to bring drinks and some snacks.

"This is the drink, sir." Say bi Nenah while offering the coffee he brought.

Nicholas received the cup and put it directly in his mouth.

"Be careful hot, sir." Spontaneously, Leira said.

"He-he .. It's okay Miss, I just smell it." Nicholas said as he put his cup on the table.

"I'm sorry sir, I surprised you."

"It's okay." Reply Nicholas.

"Oh, yes Miss Leira. It's my phone number, so if there's anything Miss can call me right away." Nicholas said as he offered his business card.

"Okay sir, I'll keep it." Reply Leira while taking the business card.

"The guest room is ready, Nope." Bi Nenah.

Leira did ask bi Nenah to prepare a guest room for Nicholas. Due to Leira's safety reasons, it allows Nicholas to stay in his house until an undetermined time.

"Good bi, thank you." Reply Leira to bi Nenah.

After Leira and Nicholas talk was finished, Leira decided to return to her room and Nicholas went to the guest room that had been prepared bi Nenah.

But before going there, Nicholas took the time to check on his men who were guarding outside the house.

"Good night, sir." Greet one of Nicholas' men.

"Yes, good night." The reply.

"Hows it? is there anything suspicious?" Ask Nicholas.

"Sir, Sir!" Answer his men again.

"Good, good! but you have to remember, stay alert and report immediately if something is suspicious." Nicholas said firmly.

"Good, Sir!

After warning his men, Nicholas returned to his room.

As he walked through the living room, the corner of Nicholas's eye accidentally saw a photo of the little girl on the wall.
