Owner Love
Serpent Woman

A shard of glass tore through the base of Dhira's arm. Blood immediately poured out from behind the torn cloth. He grimaced and felt cold from the wound.

That opportunity, used Meli escape from the clutches of Dhira. Dhira's forceful thrusting made the girl retreat. Then Meli stepped forward and pointed a mirror fragment at Dhira's neck.

"Don't macem your macem! Don't raise my anger! If I wanted to, it would be easiest for me to eliminate you! Try repeating this once again, then you're done!" He pressed the end of the mirror until it pierced the skin of Dhira's neck.

It felt sore and a little hot on Dhira's neck.

He really did not expect Meli to dare to hurt herself. Even according to him, the style of speech and the eyes of the woman are so domineering as criminals.

Dhira did not want to be considered weak and afraid, hit Meli stomach with her knees. Not too strong but it was enough to make Meli grimace. He added a punch to his arm and made the mirror fragment in his hand fall.

Gripped by Meli's neck "Not only you can eliminate people!! I can kill you too!" Challenge Dhira.

There was not a single bit of fear in his eyes. "I wait until night, send my mother home safely. Otherwise, see how the world blasphemes you have sold your own flesh and blood. Can you imagine how Ara's face looks when she finds out you're her real family?"

Dhira's threat further enraged Meli.

"Well...!!! Your mouth is your tiger!" Point Meli to Dhira's mouth, fingertips covered in blood. Dhira's blood hit his finger. "Have you heard that saying? Watch your mouth! Otherwise you could die!!!"

"You're the one who died when my mother didn't come back until nineteen! Don't doubt me about ruining your name and face!" Dhira whispered while turning Meli's hand and turning it around.

Meli wriggling in pain with a stifled face. After he grimaced then his hand was removed by Dhira.

Dhira leaves Meli who is still deg degan. His chest went up and down with his breath. "Damn it! How dare you!" Meli yells.

***

After returning home, Meli called Leo to tell him to go home. He won't let Dhira do anything. Not the type to lose and give up.

"What's up Mi?" Not yet seated Leo has asked.

"The longer you are the more visible the urgency. We haven't seen each other in two weeks, your questions make me feel like someone else!" Meli's voice tense. His anger has not subsided yet.

Leo scratched his head. Actually his heart had not melted from the tense situation. Makes himself unable to say pleasantries even to his mother. The tension of Amelia's disappearance deeply disturbed her mind.

"Sit down first. There's something Mommy wants to talk about."

Leo sat on the couch right next to his mom.

Meli took Leo's hand and held it. "Are you really with Dhira? Have you no intention of looking for another girl?" In an instant, the mimic and intonation of Meli can turn delicious.

"Yes. There's no other girl. Andhira is the one."

Meli takes a deep breath and throws it away slowly. "alright. Mami doesn't have the strength to oppose you anymore. For your happiness."

Leo lifted his head and looked at his mother in disbelief. "Why has Mami suddenly changed?"

"It doesn't change all the time. I've been thinking well. If that is your choice. It means no refusing. You still chose it."

"So Mami received Dhira?" Leo's face and eyes sparkled.

"Hm. Shouldn't it be?" Meli patted the back of Leo's hand slowly.

"Oh, thank you Mi. This is finally done." Leo is more relieved, one of the problems of jam.

"Yes. But Mami heard, Dhira's mother disappeared. Is true?"

"Where do you know?" Not many people know about Amelia's disappearance. Only the closest people to Dhira.

"Mommy just heard the issue. But not too clear. Is that really so?"

Leo was silent for a moment. "Yes. Amelia's mother disappeared from the hospital."

"From the hospital?" Meli's face looked surprised.

"Yes. He just had a kidney donor operation."

"Huh?" Meli covered her mouth with her palm. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Actually, he's new to the city. Because of the pain, had to come here to undergo the treatment. But it seems like this city is the place of its past. There's people stalking him even now he's missing."

"God. Too bad. Is the condition good? Mami meant about her kidneys?"

"Already but still have to be in the doctor's view. Somehow his condition is at the moment. Hopefully the guy who kidnapped her doesn't make it difficult for her. At least be aware of his condition." Leo's sad face.

Meli stared long at her son's face. His heart was wounded and in excruciating pain. His son was so worried about others. Even now his memory drifted to the matter of the two M money that Leo spent for the sake of the woman.

"Take Mami to visit Dhira. At least Mami could give him some lightening of mind. Mami's gonna talk to him and help him find Amelia."

"Certainly Mi?"

Meli nodded for sure. "Yes. Now you can too. Mommy wants to see him."

"Now?" Ask Leo.

Meli nodded. "Come on. We had dinner together." Meli was so happy, her efforts to make Dhira not as she liked it was not difficult. Intentionally getting closer, at least with Leo, Dhira will think twice about launching his threat.

***

Dhira was very tired. It even felt like his power was gone and rendered his body helpless. For several nights he did not sleep and did not eat regularly. His taste is gone even though his stomach feels empty and even sore.

"Oh my God, please protect my mother. Don't let anything bad happen to him. Give me a clue to where mom is..." He was crying while hugging his knees on the bed.

He's totally out of his mind how to find Amelia. Where else to check. Although he had just tried to threaten Meli and hope that what she thought was right, it still did not calm her down. Forcing that woman without proof won't work. The threat is also heavy to do so.

How does he feel about Leo?

How did it turn out that the assumption was wrong, it was not Meli the culprit?

When Leo suffers, it is also his suffering. A good man does not deserve to be repaid with suffering. All his kindness will be completely unrequited by him. She might have had a heart for Leo.

His mind is raging, fighting how to make sure Meli is the culprit or not.

One way to find out is to find Rendra. Since Amelia went missing, she has hired three thugs to find Rendra. Even with a big wage.

There are also benefits Meli gave money two hundred million. So that they can pay the costs they need. However, until now there has been no news of the three.

Suddenly Dhira's mind was cut off by Leo's voice and a knock on the door. Lazily he got out of bed. Opens door. He does not realize Leo when he enters his house.

"Hi, haven't you slept yet?!"

"Almost." Answer Dhira briefly.

"You must be hungry, we'll eat." Leo raised his hand to palpate Dhira's forehead.

Her boyfriend looked very limp and his eyes were very cute. Even still seen her eyelashes wet from crying.

Dhira. "You're aja. My stomach doesn't taste good."

"Try a little. We're eating with Mami."

Dhira raised his bowed head as soon as he heard Leo mention his mama. Both of his eyes suddenly lit up brightly. Staring at Leo between believing in disbelief.

Leo smiled "Mommy wants to see you."

"Yeah..." Dhira doesn't know what to say. He pushed Leo and walked out of the room. His chest felt like it was beating harder. 'Is Meli really bringing my mom home?'

He stood limply when he saw that sitting in the living room was only a Meli. No mother was with the woman.

"Ah Andhira, how are you?" Meli greeted him with the sweetest smile. But in his eyes it was fake. There were splashes of cunning from the look of the eyes that joined the smile.

Dhira could read those eyes.

Dhira. His brain feels dead. He stood by holding his phone firmly.

"Why stand? Sit down and we eat." Leo slowly pulled the base of Dhira's arm forward again.

"Hhhssss..sick." lamented Dhira as the wound on her arm held Leo.

"Huh, why? Are you hurt?" Leo's face panicked and examined Dhira's arm.

"Yes. It's ripped from someone's prick." Dhira answered with a sharp voice accompanied by a glance towards Meli.

"Who? Wh why? Who attacked you? Why not tell me?" Leo asked as he examined Dhira's torn skin.

"You really want to know who did it?" Asked Dhira in a quip.

"What kind of question is that? Tell me who's the guy?" Leo looks emotional.

While Dhira looked towards Meli who pura pura busy with food at the table. Inwardly swearing at the woman. He wanted to tell Leo that his mother was a suspect in his mother's disappearance. But he couldn't have said that, if he didn't have solid evidence.

"That's it. It's not how painful. I don't know who he is. He was wearing a mask. So I don't know him." Sahut Dhira's.

"Once again if anything threatens you, call me immediately."

"Yes. Just calm. You know I can still handle the bad guys of teri class. I'll make sure the guy comes to me by himself to explain the matter." Dhira was sitting right in front of Meli.

Their eyes sat for a few seconds declaring war. Equally having a sinister sharp eye highlight made anyone who saw it goosebumps.

"Sir Dhira, you must eat. To keep you healthy first of all your mother's search. If your body and mind are not healthy how can you survive. We'll accompany you to eat to help you taste."

Dhira did not answer. He just sat with his body stiff.

"Don't tense up so. Mami regretted being so unfriendly to you that day. After hearing the news of the mother's disappearance, she changed her mind. Maybe you can feel what you're feeling." Leo tried to create a fluid atmosphere.

"Yes. Thank you for your attention to me. You're right, I need to stay healthy to be strong and be able to find my mom." Dhira took the food and ate it voraciously. Meli's words really made him hungry.

"We'll help you find your mother. What's her name, ah Amelia huh? For that, can you give me the picture. So I can recognize your mother." Pinta Meli's.

Dhira's face shriveled "I'm sorry I really don't have a picture of her." Answer Dhira slowly. He hopes Leo keeps his promise not to give anyone a picture of his mother.

The reason why he did not want to spread the photos of his mother is because he did not know for sure who was after his mother and who had kidnapped his mother. He did not want the photo, people who want his mother just more and more there is a way to find Amelia. In accordance with what Rendra admitted, there are people who confirm the face of his mother.

"Hm?" Meli asked in disbelief. His eyes went around the room looking for photos of Amelia.

"Because we are too busy with circumstances we do not have time to think about taking pictures." Answer Dhira again.

"But, cooking on her ID is also no photo?" Meli asked as insistent as wanting to know the photo of Dhira's mother.

"Mom's ID carried with her." Answer Dhira.

"Mi, stop. Let me and Andhira handle this. Mami being this friendly and caring is already a support and a help for us." Leo cut off the conversation between the two women by his side.

In Dhira's heart breathed a sigh of relief it turned out that Leo remembered his request.

After feeling full, Dhira took some water and drank it. He was full and felt more excited again. It felt like his body and brain were getting fresh and ready to continue what he had to do.

Kringgg

Dhira's phone is ringing. Taken by Leo and saw the caller.

"New number?" He muttered, looking at Dhira beside him.

"Here let me talk. Who knows how important." Dhira took his phone. Talk a few seconds with people in any.

"Leo I have to go somewhere. Please stay home." After speaking on the phone, Dhira wanted to leave.

"I'm coming along." Leo rose up to follow Dhira.

Meli also stood with a face full of question marks and implied there was anxiety there.

Dhira saw the anxiety. Making his suspicions against Meli even stronger.

'Your face is so pale! From your mimic, it's obvious that you're involved with Meli Fatin! You snake woman! Look how I made you unable to wiggle!'

"Don't. I can handle this myself. You're at home. Who knows if you're going home, then there should be someone in this house."

"Say you have business where. Let me go." Fresh Leo.

"No. When it's true I need you to step in and I'll tell you. You're my only mainstay. So, please follow my word. You and I are waiting here!" Dhira Pinta.
