The Revenge of the President

Chapter 57. Alexa is back

Arshila sat contemplating on the balcony of the room. Looking at the sky, there was a crescent moon there. The stars, constantly twinkling, did not want to be outdone by the moonlight. Arshila just stared blankly, with thoughts wandering everywhere.

Dave was gone this afternoon, Mr. Yus told me as he went downstairs. The mother-in-law, also has not returned. He said he was back at his private residence, because there was business.

Arshila felt very lonely, only the night air embraced her and the moon as a interlocutor. He poured out all the burdens, talking alone while looking up at the sky. Sometimes she cries, for no reason. His heart raged for no reason.

I just want to go home!

The words that are stuck in his heart and mind. He just wants to go home, somewhere, he doesn't know. There was no home or family waiting for her arrival. But. He wanted to go home, to a place where he could smile.

Her tears rolled back, crying in silence, with a heart that felt broken. The regret that came pouring down countless times without stopping. Suppose, if time could go back. But, ....

***

The international airport.

The girl with a short haircut, using black glasses, walked with a backpack on her back.

He saw his watch, still at seven in the morning.

"Miss."

Alexa looked over, the lawyer's driver picked her up.

"Where are you going?"

"Down me, at Yurika's boutique."

"Good."

Alexa stared at the highway, which was starting to solidify. People who work and work in the morning. He leaned his head, on one of his bent hands in the car window.

Arshila, where are you? Are you all right?

"We're here, miss."

"Thank you, you just go home."

"Good, Miss."

Alexa got out of the car, staring at the three-story shophouse that was still closed. He looked around and saw the coffee shop that was open.

Maybe, I should have breakfast while waiting, he murmured then walked over. He sat with a view facing the shop. Ordering a cup of coffee and a sandwich.

He plays the phone, tells his friends who are still sleeping there. Before long, the waiter placed his order on the table, smiling before returning to his place.

Chew, while waiting for the message. But, as it turns out, the difference in time makes those who are far away there still lulled in dreams.

The sandwich is finished, the coffee still leaves half a cup. He noticed the door of the shop was open, some employees were seen cleaning the courtyard in front.

Alexa immediately got up, paid at the cashier's desk and ran to the store.

"Is aunt Yuri here yet?" Alexa directly to the point, do not want to talk stale by saying hello.

"Not yet, it usually comes a little afternoon." The young girl answered him, who was cleaning the dust on the window glass.

"Have you worked here long? Do you know Arshila?"

"Oh, sure. I-i know him. He has long since resigned, he says he wants to open a new business."

"You know where?"

"If that. I don't know. Why not look for her place? I heard, he's contracted around here!"

Ah, that's right too!

"Thank you."

Leaving the store, Alexa ran to contract Arshila which was not far away. Long ago, Nessa's aunt was looking for a place to live for her.

Alexa arrived with a gasp of breath, she bent down by holding both knees. He was like exercising in the morning, the difference is, he ran with a bag attached to his back.

"Good morning, sister looking for a home?" The middle-aged woman approached with a broomstick in her hand.

Alexa adjusts her breathing, then stands up straight.

The woman was silent, seemingly thinking, remembering names that seemed unheard of.

"I remember, she's the woman the citizens expelled."

Deg. Alexa's heart beat suddenly, a bad feeling haunting her mind.

"I mean mother?"

"Actually, she's a fine woman. But, while living here, he got terror several times. Until, making the people around fret. He was expelled because his lover came to save him, making the citizens misunderstand."

"Love?" Alexa pulled out her phone. His mind was fixed on one man who became Arshila's lover. Because to his knowledge, the woman was not in a relationship with anyone. "What is this, the man?"

"Yes, right. She's the lover who took her away that night."

You dick! I'm late.

"Alright, Mom. Excuse me."

Alexa walks in no direction, her mind raging with horrible things. What happened to Arshila? His guess is right, the man, will definitely take revenge, given how he loves his sister.

Alexa sat crouching on the side of the road, still thinking. He has to find Arshila, but where? Dave must have hidden it and no one could help him. The man's power was too great, that no one would dare to deal with him.

Alexa stopped a passing taxi. Sit down, after telling the driver the goal. He squeezed his fingers, a journey that felt very long. Several times, staring at the traffic in front of him, and then swearing in his heart. I don't know why, this car drove like a turtle.

"Miss, we're here."

"Thank you, sir. Just take the change."

"Thank you very much, Miss."

The taxi left, leaving Alexa in front of the gate, with a towering fence. Next to the gate, there is a guard post.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm Alexa Vander Santara, I want to meet Dave."

"Sorry, Miss. Young master is abroad."

"Then, I want to meet Arshila!"

The security guard has not answered. He looked closely at Alexa.

"Sorry, Miss. No name, the girl's here."

"Hey, Sir. You played me, Dave himself told me. Please open the gate, let me in and meet him."

"Sorry, Miss. We don't really know the woman's name. Justjust please. Please go!"

Fuck, fuck! Where did Dave take Arshila away? Or are they pretending? But, no way, I've used the name of that jerk. What am I supposed to do now? Where should I find you, Arshila?

Alexa left that place. He walked, thinking about where his next destination was. The clue he got, brought a dead end. He didn't know who else to ask.

He pulls back a taxi, which will take him home to Aunt Nessa. Maybe he should strategize, before he acts.

After paying, Alexa gets off the taxi greeted by a bibik who has been waiting for her for a long time.

"Mrs, Alex. How come, just arrived? Wasn't this morning nyampe?"

"Yes, bik. I have business. I'm gonna take a break."

"Yes, Non, please."

Alexa rises on the second floor, where her room is located. While holding the door handle, he stared at Arshila's room, which was separated by the other rooms.

I'd better check it out. Who knows, there's a clue.

Alexa immediately opened the closet, noticing there were some clothes still hanging. Then, there was a bag that looked worn in the corner.

There were only important documents, house keys as well as the letter he had given first. There's nothing else.

Alexa is frustrated, imagining Arshila's current fate. Is he okay or not? Has something bad happened to her? He leaned against the bed, kneading his throbbing temple.

You didn't give me Dave's choice, maybe it's time I opened my mouth. Fuck my promise to Clarissa!
