"There's no need to talk. You better leave now, before people see you here!"
"I can get into trouble if the boss sees a stranger on his estate. You understand!"
Although Hector repeatedly mengultimatum with words of threat, it had no effect on Dulce.
"I want to meet your boss, right now!", said Dulce with certainty.
Regardless of Hector the girl walked towards the hacienda with quick steps.
Hector who realized his actions could cause trouble, immediately ran over and pulled Dulce's hand.
"Shitts. You're coming with me!".
Hector gripped and pulled Dulce's hand. Although Dulce with all his might held Hector's hand, the proof was that his body was half-dragged after Hector.
"Hector release. I want to see your boss Leonel. He's my friend", cried Dulce quite loudly.
The actions of the girl, made Hector spontaneously smother his mouth.
Right in front of a tiny house that was behind the hacienda, Hector opened the door. And push Dulce's body inside.
Hector strongly encouraged Dulce's body to sit in the chair in the tiny room.
"Akhs.."
There was a grimace coming from Dulce's mouth. Unceasingly the right hand rubbed the other wrist that was in Hector's strong grip a moment ago.
Hector stood with his arms crossed in front of his chest. The sharp gaze unsheathed the netra of that extremely troublesome girl.
"Tell me who you really are. How do you know Mr Leonel?"
"You don't try to lie, miss!"
"Hugh..."
I heard Dulce's heavy breathing. The girl fixed her sitting position. While bowed. "I'm not lying. I have a friend named Leonel. He owns a farm called Nasviel".
Hector heard clearly the words coming out of the mouth of the girl he had just met.
Dulce's bowed attitude with fingers squeezing each other did not escape the attention of Hector who stood firmly in front of him. He was still in doubt with the girl's confession.
"I know you're lying, miss! Tell me actually!"
"Or right now I'm dragging you into the woods behind Nasviel's plantation to have your body eaten by wild animals" Hector said solemnly. Highlight the black bead that belonged to the man was full of probing looking at Dulce who was still downcast.
"I knew Leonel because he was friends with my late lover Juan" Dulce said in a soft voice.
Dulce's confession alone shocked Hector. But stay alert. This time his hand was attached to the gun that was on his waist. "Who are you, miss?"
"I'm Dulce Leonita. I know Leonel because he's Juan's friend. Since Juan's departure, I've never met Leonel. Our communication was completely broken. Especially since Juan died I exiled my uncle's men to a dormitory in Italy".
Both Hector's netra were wide open to hear Dulce's story. Without realizing it his athletic body immediately sat in a chair. Dulce's story really surprised Hector.
But the story is real. Uncreated Dulce. Moreover, Hector could see the girl shed tears when she told him about Juan, whom she called her lover.
Hector fell silent and continued to think. Until he looked back at Dulce with a fitting because he already had plans for Dulce.
"You can stay here tonight. It's night time tomorrow we continue talking".
Hector stood up and pulled out the key to his house. "You can't go anywhere, let alone escape. Remember that!", insisted Hector while revealing the key he had in his hand at this moment.
Dulce didn't care what Hector said.
Hector was about to enter his room. For Dulce he feels safe tonight from the pursuit of Ramirez and his people alone is enough.
"Thank Hector. I owe you one day, I'll definitely pay you a favor".
Hector turned his body again. "You better rest".
"Yes".
"Eh... The Hector I know of the Nasviel estate is adjacent to the Juan family's estate. Where's the place?"
"Juan doesn't have much to say about him or his family. But I knew he had a plantation adjacent to Leonel's" Dulce explained.
Hector fell silent. Hearing Dulce's words made him think deeply and thoroughly. Good bad, spinning in his head at the moment. But for sure, he had to increase his alertness. Moreover, he did not know exactly who this girl in front of him was.
"I don't know. Because I just started my job on this farm. I don't know a lot of people in this area".
"Yes Hector. I-i understand. Thank you for helping me" said Dulce faintly but sounded sincere.
Hector glanced at him. He knew the girl looked so tired. "Could it be true what he told you, that he ran from the bad guys who were about to harm him?".
"Tomorrow everything will be answered", Hector's inner self.
