"Go ahead" said my father, breaking the silence, "does Nicholas want custody of the boy because Salsya is dead?"
Kayla nodded. "Yes," he said. "After all, he's entitled, isn't he?"
My father nodded back. "Yes, by law, he has the right that he can prove the blood relation between them as father and son, for the child is now a kara without a guardian."
Just then, Kayla sighed heavily. "Look, Ra," he said, "my relationship with Nicholas is over. Our engagement broke up, and our wedding plans were cancelled. I. I'm here just to tell you this, because Nicholas doesn't know where Aulian is."
"You didn't tell him?"
He gulped, I saw his expression - his throat was choked, I knew he felt pain. "Initially no, I mean, I didn't say anything to her. You must understand, I am still heartbroken over their affair. I-i-"
"Attep, Kay. We all know that Salsya loves Mas Reza very much. Where might she-"
Kayla shed tears before cutting my words. "Salsya needs help to get away from Alvaro, while he has no money to hire a lawyer. Cause that's...."
"OKAY. I-i understand. Means no...."
"Isn't Salsya wrong? That so?"
"Sorry, Kay. That's not what I mean."
"He betrayed me" he said - furious.
"You hate her?"
He nodded slowly with his eyes closed. Really, I could feel an incredible pain in his soul. He sobbed, but tried hard. He said, "More than you can see. Amazing hate. I hated her so much after finding out.." her voice was lost among the broken cries.
"Sori, Kay. Are you.." those words stopped. "Sorry," I said.
She wiped her tears and grabbed her bag. "I just want to pass on that information. Anyway, our relationship was good. This is the last thing I can do for her. The rest is up to you. You want to give Aulian to Nicholas or not." Then he stood up. "I'm sorry."
"Kay, wait...."
He turned. "Sorry, I guess-"
"You know something about who killed Salsya?"
Now, he stood stiff for a moment, then shook his head. "You and Reza are at the scene. You guys should know better who did it."
I was furious, while Kayla had gone far enough, and somehow I thought - - I had to chase after her, even though my father was trying hard to hold me back. One of my bodyguards thought and acted swiftly, rather than all of them holding me back, he would rather chase Kayla and bring her to me. Right, guys?
"What else?" asked Kayla who had to be restrained by one of the bodyguards, she was suddenly annoyed by the unpleasant treatment she received.
Of course, it was an act beyond expectation, even beyond my command.
"Take it off" I said. "Let us talk both. Please, Kay, I just want to have a good talk. Okay?"
Huh! He assented and my bodyguards and my father retreated slightly from us. "It's just between the two of us" I said. "I promise I won't tell anyone."
"Go ahead, you want to ask me if I did it. Aye, right?
I'm nodding. "Jawab, Kay."
He laughed wryly. "You expect me to admit it?"
Once again I nodded. "If it is."
"Nara's... Nara's. Tell you what, you can be suspicious, you can ask anything, but I won't give you an answer. He deserves to die anyway, doesn't he? Both his parents, as well as an innocent driver - died for his actions. So, he deserved to die too. And. I don't think you have any evidence to mention my name to the police. Hmm?"
Is correct. Thas right.
"Even if there is, I won't say anything" I said. "And if you did the stabbing, I want to thank you, because you indirectly saved me and my womb. So, thank you so much, Kay."
There's no answer. Kayla turned around without any response and was about to step up.
"Kay," call me again.
Again, his steps stopped, maybe he thought instead of being pulled by my bodyguard again, he better stop, then he said, "I have a flight to New York this afternoon. I'll stay there. Sorry, I have to go."
"Awhile...."
"What else?" this time without looking.
"Am I safe? Can I remove my bodyguard?"
He's nodding. "Yes. And actually from the beginning you didn't need them."
