THE ALEXIS
THE CULPRIT

Adit sighed, he who was about to reveal what happened to Khiara after Shasha's abandonment was apparently preceded by some questions from Endra's mouth.

“Before tell us first, where have you been all this time? Why go leave Khiara in the penthouse by herself?“ cecar Endra's. He doesn't need to tell her that Adit told her and Khiara's story, right?

Alex, who was looking at Endra, glanced at Adit while raising his eyebrows. Alex is clearly convinced that Endra knows this from Adit. But did he tell her only half-and-half?

“I have not finished telling it,” said Adit who seemed to understand with amazement Alex.

“Cedar Cinay,” replied Alex briefly. There were fine wrinkles on Endra and Krishna's forehead. “I was in a coma in the hospital after leaving Khiara in the penthouse, up to a month long.“

“Koma?“ Now Krishna's voice dominates.

“Can you lower your voice?“ Now Alex turned to Krishna and raised a look of dislike.

“Why did you get into a coma?“ ask Endra again.

“I had a hard blow to the head while saving Khiara, and I got it back after leaving Khiara in the penthouse. It makes a brain injury inside there,” Alex said as he pointed at his cranium.

“Why did you get hit a second time?“ endra asked again, as if he was not satisfied to pry the reason given by Alex.

“It has nothing to do with Khiara,” replied Alex who did not want to express it. They all moved their heads up and down slowly. They appreciate Alex's decision not to say that which must have led to the personal realm.

“Now can you tell me, how is Khiara doing after her cousin's murder?“ ask Alex who charges an explanation to Adit in particular.

“Khiara is experiencing severe depression,” said Adit who was then continued by Endra.

“He almost ended his life due to such great pressure.“

“Even while waiting for Shasha in the hospital, Khiara was already like an undead.“ Krishna added.

“What does Shasha mean to Khiara?“ The three friends of Khiara nodded their heads.

“Shasha is the source of Khiara's spirit. Shasha continues to be beside Khiara as her other female friends stay away from her. The woman is also always channeling positive spirit for Khiara even though she does not know what problems are being faced by Khiara,” explained Adit at length.

“So natural if Khiara feels very lost when Shasha closes her eyes in front of her.“ Endra is slightly dragged to memory as they are in the hospital waiting for Shasha.

“Yes, because Khiara's situation is so sad then we decided to bring Khiara to Japan to get treatment by a psychiatrist,” continued Krisna.

“Japan?“ Alex confirmed again the country that Krishna had said.

“Yes, he underwent treatment there until he finally decided to return to Indonesia a few months ago.“ Now Adit explains.

Alex closed his eyes for a moment. He felt very devastated by the condition of Khiara that he had just heard. He swore he would teach a lesson to the man who had made his woman suffer.

“Alright, enough. I'll tell you what I know,” Alex said.

Not long after Artha returned from buying Alex's medication. He immediately handed it to the man who had managed to snatch Khiara from them.

“Thank you, sit down!“ Artha sat down next to Endra.

Alex pulled out his phone and fiddled with it a little. After a while struggling with his phone and finding what he was looking for, he immediately put it down and thrust it at them.

“Watch carefully! He was the one who had raped Khiara while killing Shasha.“ Alex eventually informs them and will involve them in his plans.

Alex could see all four pairs of perfectly widened eyes. Even Adit snatched the phone because he might not believe his vision. They alternately looked at him and the phone.

“He who raped Khiara?“

“He who has killed Shasha?“ The two questions came together from the mouths of Krishna and Artha.

“Ya,” replied Alex briefly.

“You're not making it up, are you?“ Now Adit asked. “I know he's a jerk but to rape Khiara I don't think he has the guts to do it. Especially to kill Shasha, what for?“
