The Story of Margaretha
14

After hours of waiting, Eldrick finally arrived at the house. He rushed in and his face was full of worry. Without making small talk, Eldrick immediately flocked Andra with many questions. Andra only answered as she could and she could see Eldrick's gaze filled with disappointment. Andra felt very guilty and realized that he had made Eldrick disappointed.

Eldrick soon tells about the past of Anjani, Affandra, and Janu who are trapped in a love triangle. Janu who did not accept when Anjani married Affandra, made the man have a grudge and like a demon killed the two people without any mercy. Eldrick also recounted that Janu had a daughter with Anjani, but Janu's daughter was sickly from childhood.

"That's all I know." Eldrick finished the story.

"Do you know where Princess Janu is? It could have been when I met at the hospital that she was waiting for her daughter" Andra said. Trying to remember his meeting with Janu in the hospital.

"It can be." Eldrick massaged the temple to slightly ease the pain that made his head throb.

"Do you know the area around here?" Opa Jo shows a CCTV display where the car driven by Wibisono's men drove. Eldrick knitted his brows to observe the place.

"This is the road leading to the house of Mr. Affandrra and Mrs Anjani. But, since their death, the house is now controlled by Janu," said Eldrick who made them stunned.

"Then we have to get there." Andra stood up and was about to leave.

"Sit, Ndra. Don't be rash." Eldrick spoke firmly.

"Well, I'm sure they got Margaretha there." Andra spoke very confidently, but Eldrick again told Andra to sit down again. Finally, Andra complied and sat back down.

"Dad is also sure the young lady is there, but we can't just haphazardly come there. We have to make a plan." Eldrick tried to remain calm despite being deeply worried for Margaretha's safety. Those who were there nodded in agreement to Eldrick.

"Mr El, do you know about the sickly boy's daughter?" tanya Pandu who had just been quietly listening.

"I know her name because Mrs Anjani once told me. Her name is Agnesia. I forgot his full name." Eldrick massaged his temple and tried to remember Agnes' full name.

"Then Patrick and I are going to the hospital. Who knows if he's there." Andra was about to get up again, but Eldrick again held back Andra's steps.

"Wait a minute."

"yeah. I don't want to wait too long. We gotta move fast."

"What are you going to do, Ndra?" asked Eldrick looking at Andra.

"Depends on what they've done to Margaretha. If they kidnap Margaretha then I'll kidnap her daughter. I'm sure that his daughter is precious to that son of a bitch." Andra spoke confidently and full of anger.

Eldrick sighs crudely and just assures. He was about to join, but Andra strictly forbade because of fear for the man's safety. So did the three friends of Margaretha who insisted on wanting to come, but Andra really forbid. Andra just went with Patricia and Kenzi, of course Opa Jo told his men to follow behind.

"Ra, how's Markonah?" Zety had been crying since the thought of her best friend.

"Gue's sure Markonah stays fine, Suk. We pray that soon we can be found." Rasya hugged his two best friends. They did not expect that Margaretha would have this tragic fate. It is cruel to the author of this story.

"Where to see you, Ndra. His face alone we've never seen." Patricia sat on the garden chair. Exhaling violently from exhaustion since then kept walking.

"We can definitely find him. Somehow." Andra rubbed her face and looked extremely frustrated. Honestly, she was feeling very uneasy at the moment because of Margaretha's continued thoughts.

"Better now we go home first. It's possible that the girl is not in the hospital" Kenzi said. The two men simply agreed and rushed home.

Even if they do not find Agnes, they will still make a plan to get into the house and save Margaretha. However, while walking towards the parking lot, Andra's steps stopped when he saw a girl who was grumbling. Andra was slowly approaching, while her two best friends were just looking at it.

"Father Janu nyebelin! I'm lonely here!"

Janu? Is she the son of a bitch? Andra wondered.

"Hi, Miss. Why are you alone and looking upset?" ask Andra softly.

"Who are you?" agnes asked back while looking at Andra curiously.

"My name is Kalandra." Andra reached out to get acquainted. Agnes who was initially silent at the end returned the hand.

"Agnes."

That answer made Andra smile with satisfaction. He was convinced that Agnes was the one he was looking for. Seeing Andra's smile, it made Agnes misbehave herself.

"Why are you alone, Miss?" ask Andra again.

"I was bored in the hospital, and my dad didn't come home. I want to go for a walk." Agnes whines spoiled, although to Andra it sucks, but Andra tries to keep looking calm.

"How about you come with me for a walk. Once I'm satisfied I'll drive you back here" Andra asked. Agnes was initially cheering in excitement, but her face was suddenly grim and stared fearfully at Andra.

"Don't worry, Miss. We're not bad people. Anyway, we can talk a lot in the car." Patricia came forward and smiled broadly at Agnes.

Agnes did not immediately reply, but she looked at the three people in turn. "alright. I called papa's men first. He'll be looking for me because they're gone now."

"No need" Andra refused. Puffing out the hand movements of Agnes who was about to pick up the phone. Agnes looked at Andra full of probing. "You better turn off your phone. If you tell them, there you can't go." Andra's trying to pump.

Agnes was silent to think. In the next second he agreed. Turn off her phone and follow Andra immediately to get in the car. Agnes was not suspicious at all and was instead excited.

I did not expect, it turns out that you have a daughter this stupid. Wait for my revenge, asshole!

Andra smiled cunningly as her tail repeatedly looked at Agnes who was smiling happily.
