Love Above the Heart
- Meet Nico -

"Certainly? What if you're your ex-fiancee?"

Arga also tells Lyra about Citra, Arga's former fiancee who crashed with her affair, then died. Just like he told Gia.

"Sorry yes, I remember your bad times when Citra left. I'm guessing you're the same Ivan not eleven twelve, but your fate is more miserable!" Lyra. Lyra's face turned concerned.

Arga shrugged his shoulders. Then he tried to smile even though his smile was very forced.

"Trus Ivan knows you because of the image of his friend Micah?"

Arga shakes.

"Ivan knows me by himself, he always finds out the background of the people he wants to know."

"really? Why?"

Arga was silent, Arga's car stopped in front of a house with a minimalist design but looked quite large. Yeah, that house is the one Lyra used to live in.

"Udah! Don't talk about that before! Come on!" Arga.

"Isss cheating yes. I've told you a long story about Ivan too!"

Arga ignored Lyra who nagged him. He decided to get out of the car. Lyra follows Arga down the car.

In Lyra's heart chuckled incessantly at her whereabouts now.

"I never thought I'd come to this house again with a different status." Inner Lyra.

Arga looked agitated, he wanted to really confirm the Gia thing that was on Nico.

Arga knocked on Nico's door strongly and sounded impatient.

After waiting for a while, the door opened from inside.

The figure of Nico was rubbing his eyes.

Not willing to waste time, Arga immediately did his intention to Nico.

"Where's Gia?" Arga said without further ado.

"you guys? What do you want to do with my house?" Nico replied when he realized that the one who came was Lyra and someone who had given him a punch last time.

"Where's Gia, Nico's mas?" Lyra asked in a tone no less serious than Arga earlier.

"Wait, wait! You guys looking for Gia on me? At this hour?" Nico asked back. Seemed confusion from his eyes.

"So you don't know where Gia mas is? She's not with you?" Ask Lyra again.

Nico shook his head in wonder.

"If Gia was with me, where might I be here I would have taken her far away! Because if he's here, he'll change his mind!" Answer Nico with his trademark who is always confident.

Arga clucking. He pulled Nico's collar.

"Lo don't mess around! Do you know where Gia is? Don't hide him!"

Nico brushed off Arga's hand, now Nico looks panicked.

"So Gia's really not the same as you? Not in that house?" Nico asked back.

Lyra and Arga nodded quickly.

"Damn! Where is Gia really!" Arga said after realizing that Nico did not hide Gia.

"Where, Ga? Where else are we going to find Gia?" Ask Lyra.

Arga sits on Nico's porch. He shook his head weakly answering Lyra's question. He covered his face with his palm. He's really upset right now.

Nico was surprised at first. Now it started to show a panicked face as well. There was concern about his face.

"Do you guys have a fight, Ra? Maybe Gia's avoiding you, Ra!" Nico accused Lyra.

Lyra glared at Nico. Likewise Arga who is now staring at Nico again because of his statement just now.

"Crazy you! You saw him this morning as well as I was fine! After Gia's departure this morning that's why she hasn't come home until now!" Lyra was angry.

Nico massaged his temple. The dizziness on his head remembered Gia. The Gia he knew was the careless Gia.

"Why am I so afraid of something happening to her, Ra! You know how reckless he is. He was once robbed!" Nico.

Lyra nodded in agreement while Arga was surprised by Nico's statement.

"It turns out he knows a lot about Gia!" Inner Arga speaks.

The three of them could now only fall silent with their respective thoughts. I don't know where else to look for Gia. It was dead end with no purpose.

Lyra and Arga decide to go home because they think it's better to look at the house first, maybe Gia's home now.

Although there are always other possibilities, but they agreed to end the search tonight just here. Because it's dawn.

"When Gia doesn't come home tomorrow. Let's just go to the police!" Arga said later.

"Wait on! Is it possible that Gia was with that man?" Ask Nico.

"Who?" Answer Lyra and Arga compact.

"The one will marry her! I don't know his name!"

Arga looked at Lyra wanting to know the answer from Lyra's mouth.

"meaning Erick? No way! Erick's not in town. Gia's here just to settle things with Micah!"

"Who's Micah?" Nico asked Lyra again.

Lyra explains to Nico about the cooperation between Gia and Micah. They will soon break their contract of cooperation.

"I think Gia is with Micah!" Nico said later.

"No way, Mom! We've been looking for him there!"

"Trus did you meet Micah there?"

Both shakes.

"It's clear Gia is with Micah! You said they had a fight, right because of the contract termination problem? Micah must be behind Gia's disappearance." Nico.

Lyra suddenly recalled Gia's words the other day.

"Gia told me the hell that they're not just fighting over a contract break-up but-"

"But what is Ra?" Ask Arga who returned impatiently.

"God! I remember now! My God, is Micah willing to do anything reckless?" Lyra covered her mouth with both hands.

"Why?" Now Nico and Arga are one vote.

"I remember, it seemed like Micah liked Erick and couldn't accept the fact that Gia and Erick were getting married! That was the main reason for deciding on a unilateral contract. Gia told me the same story! But I didn't expect it to be like this." Obviously Lyra.

Arga. While Nico nodded as if he understood his current state.

"Well, Micah couldn't have hurt Gia any further. I'm certain. Let's just go home, Ra! Tomorrow we go to Micah's house again!" Arga.

Lyra wanted to protest because she never saw Ivan again. But he prioritizes the condition of Gia. Finally, he followed Arga's wishes.

Nico looks enthusiastic, he volunteered to come looking for Gia. But clearly his wish was rejected outright by Arga and Lyra.

Nico also resigned. But he was looking forward to the good news from Lyra and Arga about Gia's discovery.

After that, Arga and Lyra actually decided to go home after being delayed.

💠💠💠💠💠

Elsewhere, Gia begins to notice the effects of the drug. After a moment of neutralizing her thoughts and visions, Gia realized that she was now in a room.

Gia tried to move, but it was difficult. He saw his hands tied with rope.

Gia shed her tears, remembering who could hold her in this foreign room.

Gia was screaming but it seemed like this room was soundproof.

Gia wanted to get up and move but again she realized it was impossible because her legs were also in a bound condition.

Before long Gia heard the sound of someone opening the door of her room.

The figure of a man with a plontos head and a fat body, Gia did not know him. The man smirked at Gia.

"Who are you? Why are you keeping me here?" Gia asked in an angry tone.

"Let's eat mbak!" Pinta the woman while wanting to feed Gia eat.

"I can do it myself. Just let go of the bond on my hand!" Gia.

The woman glanced at the man who was still standing on the doorstep while watching Gia.

The woman lowered her head, showing that she was scared and under pressure.

Gia understood that the woman was just a man. Gia grunts as hell.

"I want to get out of here! Unhand me!" Said Gia while screaming.

Gia no longer hugs the young woman in front of her. The woman remained in her position.

Gia came back crying and screaming for release.

The woman seemed to glance at Gia with pity and pity radiated in her eyes when she saw Gia. But he could do nothing because his fear was more dominant.

"If you don't want to eat already! Maybe you'll starve to death here!" The man said rudely to Gia.

"Get out!" His orders were on the young lady.

As soon as the young woman from the room occupied by Gia, the man went and locked Gia from outside the room.

Gia lamented her fate now. Gia doesn't know what to do now.

Gia was crying in her solitude in a very strange room. He doesn't even know where he is now.

"Who made me this way?" Gia in the Heart.

Gia fell asleep in her protracted cries.

💠💠💠💠💠

This morning Ivan decided to catch up with Micah who he said was at the Villa to calm down.

Ivan felt that there was something strange about Micah, not usually Micah went suddenly without preparation, especially his sister was always prioritizing appearance.

Ivan was in Micah's room and saw no sign of his brother carrying goods or clothes for a vacation.

He should have brought his things at least a little change of clothes. Given at the Villa there are only makeshift clothes and surely Micah has no interest in wearing them.

"Would he buy a new shirt to wear while at the villa?" Ivan muttered to himself as he exited Micah's room.

Ivan recalled the arrival of Arga last night who was looking for a woman named Gia.

Ivan remembers Gia as the woman Micah asked the other day to find out her background and origins by Ivan.

Ivan searched for a copy of the file about Gia at his desk. Because all this time Ivan did not pay much attention to the woman.

When Micah asks to find out about Gia, Ivan only tells one of his assistants to search and give a report without knowing who Gia really is.

Ivan read some of the sheets in his hand now. He is a little surprised that Gia is Erick's lover.

"So this woman's getting married to Erick." Himself said.

Now Ivan becomes convinced that Gia's disappearance has something to do with Micah.

Ivan immediately headed for Villa following Micah.

******

Arriving at the Villa, sure enough there was something suspicious in Ivan's sight.

Ivan met bodyguard Micah in front of Villa even though his brother hated it if Ivan told the bodyguard to just keep him, even from a distance though.

"Why is this baldy here?" Inner Ivan wondered and began to suspect.

Ivan approached the man. The man looked surprised by Ivan's arrival and looked like he was terrified.

"Where's my sister?"

"Mmm No-nona Micah is in her room sir!" Nervous answer.

Ivan wanted to run up the stairs. But before boarding, he saw the maid who used to take care of her villa.

"Do you know anything?" Ivan asked the young woman.

The woman shook her head. But his hand pointed at the guest room in the villa, then he lowered his head.

"OKAY. Thank you!"

Ivan then stepped foot into the guest room which was located on the ground floor and slightly angled.

Ivan turned the door handle, the door was locked. Ivan turned the key that was already hanging in the door lock.

After that, Ivan opened a little door to see the situation inside.

Ivan was not so surprised to see a woman in it because he had already guessed this in his heart. But he was surprised to see the woman lying down with her hands and feet tied.

Not wanting to make a scene there, Ivan closed the door without locking it.

Ivan hurriedly climbed the stairs to find and meet Micah.

Ivan knocked on Micah's door in the villa. He wanted to run immediately to interrogate his sister but he chose patience and kept knocking on the door because he valued Micah's privacy.

After a while, the door opened from inside. Micah smiled at Ivan.

"Sister? Brother here too?" Micah asked with a sigh as if nothing had happened.

Ivan pulled Micah into the room. Put him on the couch.

"You know your mistake, deck?" Ivan.

Micah clucked in annoyance.

"So don't interfere brother! It's my business!" Micah replied indifferently.

"Sir, you won't interfere while it's still a reasonable limit!"

"It's natural, brother. I'm doing this because of my disappointment, brother!"

"So you don't think this is wrong?"

"Yes no. I didn't hurt him either. No tormenting him!"

"Dec, you're wrong! With you holding him that way, it won't change things. Erick still won't change his decision deck!" Ivan looked into his sister's eyes.

"Ck! At least they're not married!" Micah answered while showing a smirk at the end of his lips.

"But that doesn't change Erick's feelings either! Erick's gonna love him anyway and worse, Erick's gonna hate you!" Ivan's words made Micah speechless.

"You didn't torture that woman! But this is still the wrong deck! You know, this action of yours is a criminal name!" Ivan again.

Micah was silent in his own mind. He did not dispute Ivan's words any more.

"So never taught you to act like this. Even though you have power does not mean you have the right to do as you please! We live in a state of law! I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of your own problems!"

"Sister?"

"Sister will defend if it's true, and if it's indeed wrong sister won't justify it!"

Micah was silent hearing the decisiveness of his brother's words. Ivan stood up from his position. He picked up his phone and typed something there.

Ivan went downstairs, and decided to sit down by himself while thinking.

"I failed to educate my sister. He lives by relying on power to achieve his desires, he does not think about the fate of others! Has his conscience been closed just because of his ego?" Inner Ivan said softly.

Long enough for Ivan to sit, he waited for Micah's decision. But it seems Micah is still thinking in his room and has not decided to go down and take the attitude he should.

Ivan kept waiting, before long Micah's bodyguard entered the room, telling Ivan that someone had come to the Villa.

Ivan had the bodyguard direct the person who came to see him immediately.

After a while, the person who had come appeared to be standing before Ivan.

"It's good that you obey me to come alone. Sit down!" Ivan.
