Tough girl in novel

*Episode 53

"Don't you praise me, Maria. Because that compliment you gave me won't make me melt."

"If you want to get out of this room, then let's make a deal. Call Arkan right now, tell him you're asking him to provide funding for our company. If you've done that, then you can get out. But if you don't, then don't expect you to get out of here forever."

Maria wants to laugh, but she's stage. Because right now, he was still not done playing around with the middle-aged man who was an uncle to himself now.

'This is old man, stupid or what the hell? Ask me to call Arkan now. He didn't think what, what if I called Arkan, kept telling Arkan I was in danger? Doesn't add to this problem, ' said Maria speaking in her heart.

"Mm .. uncle, don't be like that. You don't feel sorry for me, do you? I can't talk to Arkan, because Arkan isn't my husband, uncle. He's just got a fiancee. I can't ask her yet. Didn't uncle fear that Arkan would cancel our wedding if I asked him a lot now. She'll think, I'm a bad girl. Because, not yet a wife has dared to beg. What if it's later? Please think about it, uncle."

"Don't say much, Maria. You're just talking nonsense. I was wrong to match you with Arkan. If only the family had wanted to yesterday, I would have traded you for Tiara, my son. But unfortunately, the family refused."

"It's not their fault actually. Except, it was my fault. If I had been a little smart back then, it wouldn't have been like this. If I exchange directly without speaking, they will definitely not be able to do anything. Heh ... was really a mistake I couldn't understand."

Maria remained silent. Now, he knows one more thing related to the nature of this family. His uncle was being nice, just because he was of great value. Otherwise, perhaps he would not be considered to exist.

'Old base bangka doesn't know himself. Already hitchhiking, acting in power, and now, forcing me again. Heh ... At first I wanted to let him go because remembering, he is a person who has contributed to Mary's life. But unfortunately, he was nothing more than people who only wanted to take advantage. Now, I'd like to see what punishment would be like for a man like this old man.'

Without waiting any longer, Maria immediately sent a short message to the police station. A short message that says, if his uncle likes to torture nephews by locking up without feeding.

The message received a positive response from the police who received it. Without waiting any longer, they immediately acted towards the address listed in the message.

Less than twenty minutes Mary waited, finally, the sound of a car came. Maria saw all of that from the window of her room.

He smiled as he looked at the two policemen walking into the courtyard of the house.

"The next show will begin soon. Come on!"

Sure enough, the two policemen directly interrogated Bimo hard. Bimo did not want to confess, therefore, they immediately searched the house.

Having no other choice but to hand over the key, Bimo put on an annoyed and frightened face. How not? If the police find Maria, then the charges against her will be proven. But, he had no choice but to hand over what the police asked for. Because the more he insisted on maintaining the key, the more it appeared that he was hiding something that might eventually, he would lose to the police who seemed very firm.

The door finally opened. Maria the queen of high-class acting had been waiting for this in order to entrap the uncle in order to be punished. He was now faking out with a body that looked very, very weak.

When he saw Maria, the policeman felt pity. With quick steps, he approached Maria who was lying on the floor.

"Adik .. sister .... Can you listen to me?" asked the policeman gently shaking Maria's shoulder.

Ah, the acting queen is now again playing her role as best as possible. He opened his eyes hard.

"Si-who are you .. to-please .. I .. I'm hungry."

Talking in a very weak voice was also disjointed, Maria was very similar to a person who had not eaten for several days. Heh ... in fact, he just did not eat half a day. The acting skills he has are amazing. She deserves the award as the best acting queen if she becomes an artist in the world of soap opera.

"Oh my poor sister. It's so sorry for you. How long have you been in brackets here? To the extent that you look very weak like this" said the policeman as he tried to carry Maria.

"What! I didn't lock him up here, police sir. I didn't lock him up, he was just pretending. Not really as hungry as he says." Bimo tried to explain what was really. But unfortunately, the police are more confident in the real evidence they see than the words that may only be spoken just want to defend themselves.

"Follow us to the police station right now! You can explain everything there," said one of the police while putting handcuffs into Bimo's hands.

"Sir police, I'm innocent. Please don't hold me, sir. It's not all the same as what you see. This whole thing is a lie. He's just pretending, sir. Trust me."

Where they might believe. Because every word, there must be real evidence that can be considered true. Moreover, one of the police asked about the incident to a neighbor. Neighbors confirmed what happened to Maria. Because of them, have not seen Mary out of the house for the past two days.

Luck is on Maria's side. His absence for two days, coupled with the big problems his uncle faced, the neighbors took his side. It is quite beneficial because it will strengthen the accusations of someone who is none other than Maria herself as a whistleblower for the crimes that the uncle committed.

Moreover, Maria was impressed as a good child who was very obedient. The neighbors defended themselves. The impossible thing, they could add to be possible so that the uncle could get a severe punishment for the mistakes he made.
