ALITA'S SECRET
Chapter 25

Arriving home, Alita went straight to her room to rest.

Her body feels crumpled. He's so tired.

Just now Arkan said there was an office business so had to go.

Alita uses her free time to rest.

Especially last night he was sick, his bones felt linu remembered last night he was cold.

"I've been hugging Mr. Arkan all night." Alita hugs the bolts, wringing herself.

Even the warm touch of Arkan's skin was still felt on his body.

"Aarrgghf... Mr. Arkan is a romantic.."

Recalling these three days he spent alone with Arkan, making him flower.

Arkan treated him politely.

The romantic kiss in the elevator could not be forgotten.

Warm embrace of Arkan in the rain.

A hug from behind this morning.

All of that makes her feel like Arkan is putting his heart on her.

Although he was upset about their togetherness disturbed Clara.

Remembering Clara's fearful look just now at him.

"Why is he afraid of me? I'm not looking for trouble with him."

"Where's the outcome of your investigation, Do?"

Faldo. "From the CCTV analysis across the street, there's no sign of Alita at the scene of Ms Ina's murder."

"So Mr Burhan lied?" Firas.

"He wasn't completely lying. Because Alita was seen around the site after the murder happened. Judging from the clock, according to the testimony of the store owner at exactly 10 pm. Because Alita rented a sales stall until that hour. Alita passed the scene at 22:10. While identifying the police, Ms. Ina was killed at 21:25."

Arkan is confused. "How did Ms Ina get killed?"

"Many knife wounds on his body. Especially in the neck, Bu Ina's hair was cut out. Even his head was hit by a blunt object. He was hit by a stick."

"What a weirdo? Why was her hair cut?"

Arkan remembers Alita's story. "Ras, lo Inget Alita the story of her being grabbed and scratched. Is there anyone who doesn't accept Bu Ina's actions and revenge for Alita?"

Firas was a little doubtful. "Isn't it too strange to guess there? It could be just a robbery."

"Can, I can only conclude now that Mr. Burhan has no reason to pursue Alita. Because there's another suspect suspected of murder." Faldo plays video on laptop.

Arkan and Firas watch the video from the street CCTV.

"No video is clearer?" Arkan squinted confused eyes.

"The incident happened in a deserted alley, near the junkyard. The only CCTV that exists is this. Image range is also limited and less obvious."

In the video, the streets are pretty quiet. Ms. Ina looks like the way into the alley. Shortly thereafter, there was a man in a black hat.

"Wait.. Who is he?"

"Not traceable. The police can't find him."

"He's suspected of the killer?"

"It is not certain that his face was blocked by a hat. CCTV's range also makes it difficult to identify faces. According to CCTV, at 20:36 Bu Ina entered the alley. This mysterious person entered at 20:40. Then he exited the alley at exactly 21:00. Ms. Ina was found dead at 21:25. The stick used was found at the entrance of the alley. There's a blood stain on Ms. Ina. No fingerprints were found."

Arkan.

Athena??

Although the picture was less clear, he could recognize in the darkness, the flaming red-plated lady was Athena.

"Ras, that's what Athena's called." Arkan is so confused this puzzle is getting more complicated.

"Athena killed Bu Ina?" Firas.

"Who's Athena?" Ask Faldo.

"Partner Arkan's imaginary bed" Firas replied.

"Fantasy?"

"Each time he came to my room, the next morning when I woke up he was not there." Arkan.

"Emang you're sure he exists?" Faldo made sure his friend was sane.

"Each of me is so much the same Athena, in my body full of the same lipstick."

Faldo was silent and looked at each other with Firas.

"In conclusion, Mr. Burhan's accusation is unwarranted. But I'll investigate Athena's whereabouts around Alita. Because if you really are, it's not safe for you."

"Athena won't do me any harm. He's crazy about me."

"It's not you who's crazy about him so he's not focused on work."

Arkan shook his hand to switch topics of conversation. "What about Riga and Lanni?"

"According to lo's orders, the report was revoked. With the condition of Lanni stay in his Zumba gymnastics sanggar. And never come to the house and company with any mode. Lanni and Riga, had to tell their parents that they were both cheating. Drama no. The reality show."

"Good, that's also if they really follow my terms." Arkan looked at his watch. "Gue go back, Alita's home alone."

Just as Firas was about to stand up, Faldo held him back.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go back."

"My number to the auto repair shop broke down." Faldo was like coding Firas.

Arkan's wearing his jacket. "Ras, help Faldo out. I'll go back first."

As soon as Arkan left, Firas looked confused.

"Lo feel like something's weird?" Ask Faldo.

Firas rubbed his chin. "Yes, but I don't know the odd point yet."

"Gue was suspicious of Alita. If it was really when Bu Ina's murder was Athena, I suspect Athena was still hiding and Alita was hiding."

"It makes sense, and about Bang Arden.. " Firas shut his mouth, just remembered Faldo didn't know yet.

Faldo's eyes narrowed. "Why Bang Arden?"

After being urged, Firas spoke up.

"Alita is Bang Arden's cheating woman who was expelled from Laudya."

Faldo was shocked to the point of nudging a glass at the table.

Prorough...
