GIRL IN RED
CHAPTERS 134. RETALIATION BEGINS
Elisha suspects that someone is planning something to bully Arimbi. But where is Emir? Why doesn't he look with his guards? As long as there is an Emir here, no one will dare to mess with Arimbi.
“Thanks Miss Elisha.” Arimbi knows that Zivanna will not forget because she failed to humiliate Arimbi this time. Since Arimbi does not know what will happen, he decides to stay with Elisha to avoid trouble.
“It's okay. You do not hesitate because you are on the Emir's side, then I have to take care of you. They are all just pretending because the Emir is not here.” said Elish smiling.
The news of Arimbi being the Emir's aide has spread widely thanks to Gionino Lavani who deliberately scraped it from Amanda. Tonight only important people are present. That means everyone from the upper class is aware of the news.
Hence even if they were to bully Arimbi, they could not do so in front of Armir. Otherwise they will get the stone.
“Where is Emir?” ask Arimbi.
“Elisha shook her head, “Entahlah. I was gone for a while but he's gone. I didn't see him again when I got back. I also didn't see any of his bodyguards.”
“Oh, so ya?” reply Arimbi.
While it was wrongly part of the house, away from the party venue, the Emir was actually replying to Reza for adding something to Arimbi's wine glass. If his wife sipped the drink, his body would heat up.
Reza wants Arimbi to have an affair with her in the parking lot after she drinks the wine. If his plan succeeds then he will be responsible for his deeds by marrying her. Then the Rafaldi family will definitely allow their marriage.
In the empty backyard, the bastard Reza was battered after being dragged and put in a sack by the Emir's bodyguards. While his hands were tied and his maat was closed, someone had dabbed him with alcohol containing the dope he used to trap Arimbi. Glek..di emnegrang while trying to free himself but his efforts were in vain. Because that bitter liquid was stuffed into his mouth nonstop.
Meanwhile the Emir was sitting sweetly on his wheelchair while watching the bastard suffer. Rino immediately pushed the Emir away from the place after seeing Reza vertical all the alcohol he had allocated to Arimbi.
His legs and hands were finally untied and Reza alri was flushed with fear. He fell down and sat on the ground while trying to catch his breath and released the black cloth that closed his eyes.
With all his strength, he tried to get up and look around him but there was no one there. Only he was alone in that quiet courtyard, he blinked his eyes and again circulated the gaze throughout the empty courtyard.
But no one was there, how did he get here? Who was the one who dragged him here and tortured him? His mind raged thinking of the events that had befallen him.
After wiping the blood flowing from her nose, Reza stood up and took her phone to contact Amanda. Because of him he couldn't go back to the party under such circumstances. Amanda immediately answered her call, “What's Reza? You where is this?”
His voice was softened as he said, “Didn't you have reached Reza? Where the hell have you been? I was looking for you from earlier but I didn't find you in the party area.”
“Amanda I think I'm in the backyard. It's so quiet there's nobody. I think you should come over here when no one sees you. Someone dragged me here and beat me up. I don't think I can go back to that party with a battered face like this.”
“Reza, do you know who did it?”
“No! I don't know. They arrested me and then put me in a cage and got beaten up. Then my eyes were tied to a black cloth and I was forced to drink alcohol. I almost choked to death earlier. They forced me to drink a lot of alcohol.” Reza explained frantically. Reza wiped her nose again and loosened her tie as she began to feel hot.
“Amanda! Bring a tissue, too. My nose is bleeding.”
“Alright, I'll be there soon.” Amanda replied in a soft voice, Amanda tried to convince Reza to wait for her to come before she hung up.
“Amanda!” Anxious Gio had noticed Amanda coming towards him. “What's Amanda? You seem anxious after receiving a phone call just now.”
“I'm fine.”Answer it gently. “Gio, they've started dancing. Go join them. It's your sister's birthday party, you should be there with her.”
Gio looked at him warmly and extended his right hand with a smile, “I know. But I need a partner. Amanda, will you dance with me?”
Amanda had no good reason to reject Gionino Lavani's offer. Eventually he accepts her hand but she keeps stomping on his foot as Amanda keeps thinking about Reza and worrying about him. “Sorry Gio. It's been a long time since I've danced, I've started to forget.”
However Gio looked at him and sincerely said, “It's okay. What are you thinking about Amanda? Tell me. I'll help you.”
Amanda tried to avoid Gio's gaze and said, “I'm fine Gio! But I had to go..” before he went to the bathroom, there was a commotion from the outside and Gio put on a sullen face. It's his sister's birthday but it seems like there are people who have dared to make a fuss at a party like this. As the host, he was obliged to control everything.
All the guests including Amanda rushed out to see and find out what had really happened there. After they came out, they saw many people crowding the backyard where Reza was. Amanda immediately felt unsettled, something must have happened and she began to wonder, could these people find Reza?
“Let's see Gio! I wonder what happened?” although Amanda was anxious but she tried to hide her curiosity and pulled Gio towards the crowd.
No one can refrain from gossip, including Arimbi. He also follows the crowd with Elisha after he is satisfied to eat.
“Arimbi!” the two women stopped as he heard the cold voice of the Emir calling out to him. “Where are you and Elisha going?” ask Emir.
Elisha approaches him and tries to explain to represent Arimbi. Elisha is trying to be a good sister-in-law to Arimbi. “I want to know what happened so I took Arimbi away to see. This wasn't his idea. I was wondering if I wanted to know.”
“Sit's quiet here! You guys don't go anywhere.” Emir insists. Arimbi and Elisha slaing exchanged glances and were afraid to leave the place. However, the Emir asks Dimas to find out what happened there.
Besides them, there were other people in the house. Although they also feel curious but they choose to wait for stories from others instead of finding out for themselves.
