The Secret of Office Girl

59. Terrified

“What do you mean, Amanda?” madam Marleen asked in amazement. Both of his eyes widened, returning Amanda's gaze.

“This woman is a liar, Madam. She claims to be Miss Kirana, and now without a guilty face coming to my son's engagement party,” Amanda stares cynically at Kirana.

Madam Marleen chuckled, her expression showing that she did not believe Amanda's words. Even seem to mock.

“Amanda, if you don't want Kirana as a potential ghost, just say so. Let Kirana be my man-to-be. No need until the mefitnahnya all.”

“I'm not slandering. She is just an office girl who works at Irawan Group.”

Madam Marleen's laughter broke out instantly.

“Amanda, Amanda,” Madam Marleen clucked mockingly.

“Try you think with that shallow brain of yours. Where there is an office girl who came to the party carrying a limousine.”

“You said my brain was shallow? Marleen, don't be careless when you talk!” cry Amanda. 

He did not care about the look of the invited guests who were watching the two middle-aged women fight.

While Kirana walked casually through the keramain. This is the purpose of her bringing Madam Marleen, so she doesn't have to bother fighting with Amanda.

Because what he wanted to meet now was Hardi Russell.

Kirana circulates around looking for Clara's father. Then Kirana's lips curled a smile when she saw Hardi chatting with some men.

They may be Hardi Russell's business partner. That was Kirana's thinking.

However, not until Kirana approached Hardi, she was intercepted by Clara who suddenly stood in her way.

“Do you want to come here?” Clara asked while displaying a power-ass face.

“I told you, right? If I'm going to come to your engagement party with a gift that you can't possibly forget for life.”

“Oh, yes? Then where's the prize?”

“You seem very much looking forward to my gift?” asked Kirana grinning. He patted Clara on the shoulder. “Saballah. You know.” later

“You were kicked out of a bunder gang member, Amanda!” madam Marleen's screams rang out.

Clara and Kirana look over. They can see Madam Marleen coming out of the party area, leaving Amanda clenched in a hand with a face that is difficult to interpret.

There was anger, shame, and feelings of non-acceptance mixed into one.

After Madam Marleen's death, the rest of the bunder gang also left Amanda.

“Wah, wow, wow, not yet the party started, the invited guest has left,” Kirana quipped while folding her hands in front of the chest.

Right then, Amanda hurriedly walked towards Clara.

“Clara, we just go straight to the core event. Quickly you call Raka!” Amanda ruled with a voice like a snarl.

Amanda's anger has not gone away. It was as if he was scolding Clara.

And Clara who was used to being pampered, felt no acceptance of being yelled at like that.

“Why should I, Auntie? Does my hand still hurt?” Clara whining.

“What does the sick hand have to do with calling Raka? Hurry along! You want a fiancee or not!” Amanda ruffled her waist further infuriated by Clara's behavior.

“Or I'll call Raka,” Kirana interrupts.

“No,” exciting Clara. He breathed a rough breath. “OK, I'll call Raka.”

***

Inside the Abhimanyu family home, Nakula and Sadewa are in one corner where there are many paintings.

The two twin brothers looked at the paintings one by one, and their attention stopped on the painting depicting a portrait of Amanda's face.

Sadewa took a black acrylic brush and paint, then she added a mustache to Amanda's face painting.

While Nakula who saw the evilness of Sadewa can only cluck.

“This is better,” said Sadewa looking at a portrait of Amanda moustached.

“It would be nice if plus acne,” added Nakula grabbed red watercolor.

However, it seems that Nakula had a little trouble opening the watercolor lid which in the end…

What Nakula did instead pressed the watercolor until it spurted into Sadewa's face. Now that handsome face was covered in blood-red watercolors.

“Basic Sister lucknut! Feel this!” 

Sadewa, who felt unacceptable, finally grabbed the watercolor in Nakula's hand and sprayed it on her face.

Sadewa laughed with satisfaction at Nakula's annoyed look that was clearly visible even though her face was stained with watercolors.

“Oh, no! My handsome face..” raung Nakula.

He grunted annoyedly. Because it was already dirty, all Nakula poured the red water hook until it ran out and applied it to the face, hair, and neck of Sadewa.

Sadewa did not want to lose, the rest of the watercolor in his hand was smeared into Nakula's suit.

The struggle of Nakula and Sadewa stopped instantly when he heard the sound of a step. They close themselves to the wall, and turn to the figure of the person walking in the hallway.

That man is Clara.

The woman walked in haste while scowling.

Seeing Clara walking alone makes Nakula and Sadewa have an idea to punish Clara.

Coincidentally not far from them standing, there was a light switch. Nakula rang the on and off buttons quickly.

Making the lights in the hallway Clara was passing by flickering.

When Clara stopped her steps, she froze unable to move her legs and all her limbs.

The atmosphere turned gripping with lights that died and lit up like in horror movies. Just then, Clara felt a black figure passing behind her.

It makes Clara turn her body around looking back.

“Halo, is anyone there?” Clara was scared.

Silent. No word from the end of the hall.

Clara rubbed her bristling nape. He had to quickly leave this passageway, to meet Raka.

And when Clara turned around, in front of her was Nakula with a face full of blood red watercolors. 

Clara's body stiffened, her eyes widened like they were about to be dislodged, and she slowly took one step back.

“Aaaaa Claaaraaa aaa,” Nakula stretches her hands that are also dirty by watercolors, acting like zombies.

“Aaaaaarrgghhh,”

Clara jolted.His heart was racing above normal limits. She was terrified to see the face of the man in front of her. Reminds Clara of Ray's face on the night of the collision.

Then, Clara intended to rotate directions. However, when he turned towards the other one, he was also blocked by Sadewa who was crawling on the floor.

“Aaarrgghhh,”

“Claaraaaa,” call Sadewa in a whimpering tone.

Sadewa completely mimicked the zombie style in the movie he had seen. He even reached out with a hand covered in watercolors to block Clara's leg from escaping.

Clara's entire body trembled violently, she tried to rebel to escape the clutches of Sadewa.

It's like Clara's nightmare that comes to haunt her every night.

“Let me go! Let go of me, Ray!” Clara giggled, thinking the man who blocked her hand must be Ray's ghost.

Because they were in a dark hallway, as well as the faces of Nakula and Sadewa who were covered in blood-red watercolors, Clara was unable to recognize the two men in front of her.

Clara shook her head as she tried to rebel. A flash of Ray's blood-soaked face shadow permeated his mind.

“Don't bother me, Ray! Go you!” 

As soon as Clara's legs came off, she ran as fast as she could no matter where her footsteps led her somewhere.

"Just like that she was so scared" Nakula was astonished.

“Why does he call us Ray? Is there a ghost named Ray?” ask Sadewa after Clara's departure.

“Entah. I don't know either,” replied Nakula shrugging.
