Sister of Inpar Malang
Chapter 44 (Concidentally Meet)
POV Author
"One more" said Evan. "I want to come with you guys to buy souvenirs for the house people. Can I?"
Devan glanced at Lilis, figuring out the expression on her face. Lilis herself did not show any expression at all.
"Of course you can, right, Lilis?"
"Yes. Later I will help to choose the things that Kak Laras likes and other house people."
"Thank you."
During the day they spend time buying souvenirs for people at home in the shopping center. Lilis walked ahead leading the way, while Evan and Devan were behind like bodyguards. Following where Lilis steps away while carrying groceries.
Lilis bought a T-shirt with the words 'I Love Bali' for Tejo. Remembering his message before he and Devan left for Bali. Also some sandals and other accessories.
For mbok Urip, Balinese batik cloth is the choice. Lilis also bought batik cloth for the others. Do not forget food and unique items such as trinkets become the next target.
"Know this, I'd better be in the room to take care of the files or clients who are alot when discussing. My God, my legs are numb" complained Evan.
"It's a good thing I love, so I don't feel too much" Devan said, trying hard. Even his feet were very sore.
"You tired?" Lilis looked towards the two of them. "But not all of our stores have entered, you know," said Lilis with a face made sad.
Devan. "It's not so, honey. You must be tired, not to mention having to bring a fetus in the stomach."
"I'm not tired yet. There are still things I want to buy."
"But this is a lot."
"That's new to Kak Laras, father, mother, mas Tejo, and mbok Urip. For others not yet, Brother."
Evan and Devan looked at the paper bag in each other's hands. Even Evan's hands were almost full.
To speed up time, they again continue the adventure journey in and out of the store in the shopping center.
Bruk!
Evan accidentally collides with a woman. The four of them both looked down, where a woman's purse fell. Devan leaned over, to pick up the wallet, because Evan's hand was already full.
"Sorry that's my wallet." The woman who owns the wallet opens her voice.
Suddenly Devan felt a strong squeeze on his waist. It turned out that Lilis did that.
"It's your wallet" Devan said as he straightened his body.
Devan and the woman froze, with Lilis squeezing Devan's waist.
"You!" shouts Devan.
Evan was confused by this. Why are all faces tense?
The woman immediately took the wallet in Devan's hand, then fled. Devan was intent on chasing after the woman, not wanting to lose track of her again.
"Jaga Lilis!" Devan gives all the goods into Evan's hands, then runs after the woman.
"Hey!" yelled Evan not to take it. "Why is he chasing that girl?"
"That .. the woman who was with Evan when she was affected by the stimulant." Lilis' facial complexion turned extremely anxious.
"What!" evan shouted in surprise. If he had known earlier, he would have pursued it too.
Lilis nodded. "I'm worried about Brother Devan."
"You don't worry! Devan's gonna be fine. I'd better take you to the room. After that I'll catch up with Devan."
"Yes! But Evan promised, yes, he'd take care of Devan."
"definitely. Let's hurry back!"
Elsewhere, the woman kept running trying to avoid Devan's pursuit. Unfortunately he instead ran towards the deserted alley. The si4lnya again, he reached a dead end.
His face began to pias with an irregular breath. His head looked to the right and left trying to find a way out.
Seeing his target deadlocked, Devan stopped about 5 meters away from the woman. His breath was no less boring. The woman put on a standby, Devan did the same.
"You want what you? I'm gonna scream, and people are gonna beat you up, '" the girl snapped.
Devan stay calm. Trying not to do violence. Especially she's a girl. Think for a moment to make sense.
"Silent. I'm not gonna do anything to you. I'd like to ask you a few questions, but if you can't negotiate, I'm forced to take you through the law."
"No way to."
"Almost every place is now installing surveillance cameras, and the surveillance cameras at the resort are recording everything you've done."
The woman could not hide her panicked expression. Devan read the woman's movements through his eyes. Looks like the woman will be desperate to escape.
Sure enough, the woman began to take a swing. Then ran towards Devan. Devan, a former thug, knew clearly the motive of the woman running towards him. When the woman was close, Devan shifted her body to the right. His left leg stuck out, making the woman stumble and then fall into a stomach position.
"Ouch!" the woman shouted in pain.
Devan held the woman's back with his knees. Then hold both hands back.
"Take me off!" the woman shouted. "To-" Devan instantly stuffed the woman's mouth with a handkerchief taken from her shirt pocket.
Devan pulls out the phone, then calls Evan. Asking Lilis circumstances first, further submitting her current location to Evan. Moments later, Evan arrives with two of his employees and takes the woman to the resort.
They are currently in an unused room at the resort. This place will later be renovated to be used as an additional locker and resting place for employees.
The woman sat in the middle of the room, with her hands tied behind her back. His body and legs were also tied to a chair. His body continued to move, trying to make the rope loosen. His eyes looked sharply at Evan and Devan who were standing in front of him.
Two Evan employees who had enough martial arts, were at the outer door just in case.
Actually Devan forbade Evan to tie him up like this. Somewhat excessive according to him, but the female power is quite large, so that makes Evan inevitably have to do this.
"Who told you to put stimulants on top of my food?" ask Evan about the woman.
"Do you work alone? Or did someone tell you to?" ask Evan again, because the woman had just been silent.
"Please cooperate. It's about my brother-in-law's household integrity. I see you as a good woman. But why would you want to do such a despicable deed?" Devan began to invite the woman to negotiate.
The sharp look of the woman, turned moody. His face was sad. "Are you taking me to the police station?"
Evan and Devan looked at the woman in confusion. His expression was extremely fierce, then suddenly turned into a wist.
"I have a mother who is very ill. If I'm in jail, who's gonna take care of my mom?" The woman's words increasingly made these two handsome men more confused.
Evan searched the woman's bag. He took out an identity card from inside his wallet, then read it.
From there, Evan learned that the name of the woman was Siska, aged 22 years, the same age as Laras. Addresses listed in Jakarta. Why is she in Bali?
Evan hands Devan the identity card to read it too. Then Evan picked up a paper containing a note from the doctor about diabetes that belonged to his mother Siska.
"Jawab my question!" evan orders flat.
"Did I tell you everything, you guys take me to the police station anyway?" ask Siska again.
Looks like she was very scared that we took her to the police station, Inner Devan.
"Depends" answered Evan.
"Can you promise to release me after I tell you everything?"
Evan's getting inflamed. He thought, this woman is heart-felt asking for a heart. Already doing evil deeds, still thinking the best for himself.
Devan tries to calm Evan down, so as not to provoke emotions. Trying to negotiate with Siska.
"That's .. later we'll talk about it. Depends on how it is, and how you answer our questions" Devan said.
"Okay, but I'll still ask for conditions. Please take care of my mother, in case you still want to take me to jail." Siska pleaded with hope. On his face it looked serious that he cared so much about his mother.
"Yes. That's certain. If it were true your mother was very sick." Devan is still trying to talk patiently.
Unlike Evan who is already very emotional. "Hurry and tell us everything!"
Siska took a breath, before starting to explain everything she knew.
"I was just told to take Mr. Evan, take him to sleep in one of the rooms at the resort. Then take a picture and some video to send to the person who told me to. Not until the room, it turns out that my actions have been blocked by this Master," pointed Siska with her chin to Devan.
"It was not I who put the stimulant on Mr. Evan's food, but the man who told me to. If I succeed, I'll get the money from that guy. Then I'll use the money to treat my mother" he continued.
"You want to treat your mother with illegal money?" ask Devan. Siska bit her lower lip slowly. "Did your mother know what you did?"
"What if your mother finds out?" Evan tried to bluff. Siska shook her head in doubt.
"I beg you not to let my mother know. I'm afraid he's surprised, then .. no. I don't want to lose my mother."
Siska's eyes began to glaze over. She is just a poor girl who wants to treat her mother who is sick with diabetes. I don't know if the risk will be like this.
"Are you telling the truth?" evan asked with an intimidating look.
"For my mother's sake, I'm telling the truth." Tears have come out soaking Siska's cheeks.
Evan and Devan are a little pity to see it, but they still have to be vigilant if it turns out that everything Siska says is just a lie. It could have been just fake tears.
"Who told you to? A boy or a girl?" cecar Evan's.
"She's a woman" Siska replied while holding back sobs.
"His name?"
"Freya" replied Siska.
"Freya!" evan and Devan were both shocked.
Evan pulled out his phone. Then show a photo of a woman to Siska.
"What is this woman you mean?" ask Evan.
"Yes," Siska replied as she nodded.
This time Evan really believes in the words Laras. Freya is not a good woman. It's not appropriate for his brother.
Devan himself was surprised. Freya, the girl who was already considered like her own sister, how could she do such a lowly thing? I haven't seen each other in a long time, even once met in this way.
Isn't Freya close to Elan? Then, why would he do this to Evan, Elan's real sister?
"What else do you know? Do you know why Freya did that to us?" evan asked, getting impatient.
