The Revenge of the President

Chapter 43. Story of Mira

Dave was already at the company, waiting in annoyance. Because, Nadia had permission to arrive late. The man paced back and forth indistinctly, blabbering, somehow scolding who.

"Call, he. Tell me, to be here soon."

Tian reached into his phone, if counted, maybe this was ten times he called Nadia. Since the journey, until now.

"Hallo, sir."

"Can you come quickly?Huh!" Tian became annoyed as well, because of Nadia. "Five minutes, you've been here."

Connection interrupted.

"Five more minutes, sir," Tian said, but Nadia did not have time to answer.

"What?? Five minutes??" Dave glared, too long for him with that five minutes.

Dave gave up, choosing to sit on the sofa leaning back. Sitting contemplatively, Tian's speech and the recording of Arshila's voice made him feel anxious.

What if it wasn't him? What am I supposed to do?

In less than five minutes, Nadia was already in front of the president's door. Adjust his breath and appearance before knocking on the door. Given how his struggle was to catch up to that five minutes to arrive.

Tian called, as he had just finished his business. Driving at high speed for the first time. In fact, it went through some red lights. He will not be surprised, with the arrival of the ticket tomorrow.

Tok....

Tian opened the door, glaring at him without speaking.

"Sorry, I ...."

"Lake in." Tian cut quickly.

Nadia lowered her head, walking around miserably. What's the matter, anyway? Why call me suddenly? Nadia muttered, her eyes glanced at the president.

"How long have you been married?" Dave walked, one step stopping right in front of Nadia.

"A year more, sir." Nadia simply looked down, without daring to stare.

"Then, what about the task I gave you? You didn't forget, did you?"

"No, Sir."

"Then??" Dave sat back on the couch.

"I'm not sure yet, sir."

"Say it clearly, Nadia."

"Sa .. I ...." Nadia's voice stammered, she squeezed both her hands."

"Java!!" shouted Dave with anger, making Nadia jump as if she wanted to cry.

"Arshila, can't drive a car, sir. He can only, ride a motorcycle."

Deg.

Right then, Dave's heart stopped beating. He got up, held onto Nadia's shoulder.

"Whatchu mean? Nadia, look at me!!"

"I'm sorry, sir. I'd like to tell you right away, but I want to make it clear first. Dimas' mother accidentally said that to me, when he was sick. I finally, asked Dimas' sister to confirm, it turns out he said the same thing."

Both feet, Dave became limp, he was like a foot on jelly. His body was shaky, lost balance. He immediately shuffled on the floor.

The shadow of Arshila's tearful face filled her mind. A sad and desperate face.

"Sir."

Secretary Tian immediately held onto the body of the president who had suddenly weakened.

"I'm sorry, sir. I still have to find out more. But, the more I went, the more sick and confused my heart was, who to trust." Nadia sobbed and sat on the floor. "Brother Dimas said, Arshila lived like a maid in their house. Working without time and tired, even while pregnant she still does that."

Dave looked back at her, with a different look.

"I'm confused as to who to believe in, sir. Because my husband and mother-in-law, say different things."

For some reason, the oxygen in the room is thinning. Dave hit his chest that felt really tight.

Tian immediately got up, took a glass of water, then gave it. Dave closed his eyes, trying to calm his shocked heart and mind.

"Nadia, are you ready to let go of your husband, if he's guilty?"

"Master, I ...." Nadia was crying, unable to continue her sentence. He understood the meaning of the president's words.

"You've gone too far and you have to be prepared for the consequences." Dave's looking. "Call Dimas' brother, now. I need a definite answer."

Dave was still sitting on the floor. He pondered many things, in his mind. From the first moment, the woman became a suspect. She kept crying, but didn't want to say anything. So was the trial, only tears came out of his eyes. She did not even defend herself, as her husband and mother-in-law testified to blame her.

What exactly is on the woman's mind? Why is not a word coming out of his mouth, to defend himself? Is he regretting his actions or is he covering things up with his tears? Dave wondered in a turbulent mind. His feelings are now so adrift, with no place to dock.

After being quite calm, he again sat down on the sofa, aided by Tian who was still holding his body.

"What should I do, Tian? I really don't know what to do now. I was confused as to whether or not to believe Nadia's words."

Tests.

Tests.

Tests.

The predir who was so cold, decisive and did not say much, now shed tears in front of his secretary. He even held his chest, which felt very piercing.

"Master, what if we go back to investigating? I'll start with the hospital's CCTV, where Miss Arshila was at that time."

Dave had yet to reply, his memory retreated quickly. Well, the woman was on her way to the hospital due to a contraction, which is when she hit Clarissa.

"Do, Tirta. Everyone, don't miss anything."

"Good, Sir. I'll do it immediately."

Tian retreats, at the same time Nadia has come with Mira.

Nadia picked up Mira, at the college. Luckily, today he has a college schedule. Otherwise, he would have to rack his brain to answer all of his mother-in-law's questions.

"Sit down" Dave ordered.

Mira looked at her brother-in-law, because the aura of the man in front of her was so frightening.

Nadia grabbed her sister-in-law's hand, clasping as if she was saying, relax, I'm here.

The two women sat down, together.

"Do you know who, me?"

"I .. yes, Sir. Nadia's sister said it."

Earlier on campus, Nadia said that her boss wanted to meet. In a hurry, Nadia only promised to give more pocket money, without telling her why.

"Tell me everything that happened in your house, when Arshila was still your sister-in-law." Dave put a wad of money on the table. "What enough?"

Mira's eyes sparkled, for life he had never seen that much money. Without a second thought, he nodded his head.

"Can you shut up Mira?"

"Can, Sir. Don't worry, trust me."

"Good, start at the beginning."

The story begins, not much different from what he told Nadia. This time, the story is more detailed. How the mother treated her daughter-in-law. The attitude of Dimas who just kept quiet and let. Likewise, the attitude of Mira and her sister who he said only follow along.

"Then, is it true that Arshila can't drive a car?"

"Yes, Sir. Brother Shi, can only ride a motorcycle. He also never learned, because mom and mom Dimas forbid him to leave the house."

Deg.

Dave's heart was racing, he threw away a moment's glance.

"Keep, what about him in prison? Do you know anything?"

"That problem, to this day I also do not understand, Sir. Mother forbade us to discuss it and not interfere. It's just, as I remember. That time. Brother Shi to the hospital using a taxi booked by my sister, Naya."

Dave could not speak anymore, his lips became twisted. He looked down, and the gloom of grief fell on the floor, without realizing it. There was something stuck in his heart that made him want to scream with all his might.

Arshila, I'm sorry.

Before leaving the room, Dave again gives Mira some money, but it's not free. Because, the girl had to keep her mouth shut, before it was all revealed.

Now he, hurrying away, headed for the hospital. Riding at an unreasonable speed while shedding tears.

Keep walking, down the hospital corridor, ignoring the officers and the hospital officials, who saluted.

Brak!!!

All eyes turned to him, as the door opened violently. There was a face partially covered in bandages, the woman was looking at him coldly.

"Say, aren't you the one? SAY!!"
