"I'm really sorry, Mister!" Melody once again said to Aaron who was still looking at her strangely.
"Claudia?" Aaron muttered.
But if Aaron looks carefully, the look of the girl in front of him is a little different from Claudia who every heart Aaron met in the village. The eyes of this girl are more shady and tend to be plain. Then her body gesture was more calm and unlike the aggressive Claudia.
So is this actually Claudia or isn't it?
"Master! You know me?" Melody moved her hand in front of Aaron's dreamy face.
"You're Claudia Setyawan, right?" Ask Aaron to make sure.
"Yes, that's my name,"
"You-and"
"Clau, why so long?" Matthew's voice made Melody unable to continue her sentence. Matthew walked closer to Aaron.
"You're Dean Alexander's assistant, right?" Ask Matthew to make sure.
"Yes, Mr Matthew! It's good to see you tonight!" Aaron reached out his hand to invite Matthew to shake his hand.
"Then Dean where? She didn't come to this important event?" Matthew asked Aaron.
"Miss Melanie is not well. So Mr. Dean has to be with him and I'm the one who replaced Mr. Dean tonight" explained Aaron at length and Matthew just nodded in understanding.
"You done drinking?" Matthew instead asked Melody and the man's arm was of course already coiled around Melody's waist.
Aaron's heart immediately warms up because Aaron still thinks Melody is Claudia.
"Already. But I bumped into this master and the drink spilled a little," Melody explained in response to Matthew's question.
"Claudia fouled your tuxedo,-" Matthew was seen recalling Aaron's name.
"Aaron!" Aaron answered quickly saying his own name.
"Yes, Aaron!"
"Did Claudia dirty your tuxedo? I'll replace it," Matthew repeated his question in an overbearing tone that instantly made Aaron want to vomit.
Does Matthew think Aaron's a cool guy?
Although Aaron is only an assistant to Dean Alexander, but Aaron is not a cool man. Aaron also has an expensive sports car, a luxury apartment, and can very well snatch Claudia from Matthew's embrace!
Just wait for the play date!
Aaron's phone rings again.
"Excuse me, Mr Matthew! I'll pick up the phone first" said Aaron as he moved away from Matthew and Melody. Aaron looked back at the screen of his phone and again the name Good on the screen of the phone.
"Hello, Bag-!" Aaron hasn't finished his sentence when the phone has been disconnected!
Ck!
Basic Good!
Aaron called back the twenty-year-old.
"Good!" Call Aaron after the phone is picked up.
"Mas Andez why did you turn off the phone? Mel's mom is in danger too!" Good nagging from the end of the phone.
"Don't be so reckless! Melody is here! I'm looking at it" Aaron didn't go on with his sentence when his logic seemed to be running.
Melody's?
Claudia's?
What that means is there are two girls with the same face named Melody and Claudia.
If Claudia was in the village and said Bagus was currently in danger, what that meant that the one currently standing beside Matthew was...
Melody's!
They're switching places!
"Mas!" A call from Nice from the other end of the phone jolts Aaron's daydream.
"Mas Andez? This is Mel's sister here crying!"
Aaron's thoughts were only on Claudia who was now turning into Melody. Melody then turns into Claudia.
What kind of drama is this?
"Melody why, Good?" Aaron asked again impatiently.
"Good and Madam Mel is in the hospital, Mas!"
"What?" Aaron hung up the phone without listening to Good's explanation. The man immediately took his car and drove the sports car at high speed.
Aaron's not headed to the city airport!
Aaron goes straight to the village and wants to see Claudia who is now replacing Melody.
"Hold, Clau! I'm coming!"
****
"My mother will be safe, won't she, Sister?" Claudia asked the nurse who was taking her blood.
"We will try our best, Miss!" Answer the wise nurse.
"It's over, lady! You should lie down for a while" the nurse said next, carrying a bag of blood that had just been taken from Claudia's body. Not long after, Good entered the room.
"Mr-bak"
"Mother how, Nice! You're awake yet?" Claudia asked frantically with tears already shed.
"Budhe is still being treated by a doctor, ma'am!"
"Pakdhe Seno has been taken to the police station again."
"Mom will be safe and well, won't you, Good?" Claudia had already woken up and hugged her knees in anxiety.
"Yes, Mom! Budhe must have survived!" Nice words calmed Claudia down and hugged the woman. Good's memory drifted back to the scene a few hours ago when Pakdhe Seno suddenly appeared at home, carrying a knife, and attacked Ms. Melody.
"Your son of a devil! How dare you throw your father in jail, huh?" Pakdhe Seno brandished a knife towards Claudia who was at home alone.
"Mas! Don't hurt Melody, Mas!" Ms. Ayana who just arrived home after knowing her ex-husband came with a knife immediately shouted hysterically.
"Shut up all of you! I'm gonna teach this useless kid a lesson!" Mr. Seno had already smothered Claudia and placed a knife on her neck.
"Pakthe! Release Mbak Mel-"
"Shut up, Good!" Mr. Seno pointed at Bagus who immediately inched backwards. The knife in Mr. Seno's hand was very close to Claudia's neck skin and could slash the veins that were there at any time. So Good chose to back down first while calling Mas Andez who might be able to provide help.
"If anyone reports to the police! I'll cut the neck"
"Geekerrgh!" Mr. Seno screamed in pain as it turned out that Claudia had already bitten the old man's hand tightly.
"Satanic child!" Bump Pak Seno while returning to pursue Claudia who was about to escape. It was a pity that Claudia stumbled over a rock and fell.
"Fuck you, Melody!" Mr. Seno had already brandished his knife and prepared to stab Claudia in the chest as Bagus and Bu Aya moved quickly to prevent.
Good to hold Mr. Seno's hand but misses and Bu Aya instead dropped his body on Claudia until finally the knife pierced Bu Aya's back very deeply and shed fresh blood.
"Mother!" Claudia screamed half a moment of silence.
Mr. Seno and Bagus and the residents are still staring to see Bu Aya who now hugs Claudia with a back covered with blood.
"No!"
"Help Mother!" Shouted Claudia who instantly made everyone's consciousness as if returning.
Good and some residents immediately secured Mr. Seno along with the police who finally came. Mr. Seno thrashed as police took him and nearly ran away again. So the police had to shoot the old man in the leg.
While other residents immediately lifted the body of Bu Ayana from above Claudia, then took her to the hospital to get help.
