The Story of Margaretha
17

Almost half an hour Agnes was crying and no one could silence the girl. In fact, many of them to sigh*h rough because dizzy with the cries of Agnes who really like a child. Oma Mila who was silent at last had an idea. He asked the waiter to get a box of ice cream in the refrigerator. It turned out to be very powerful, when the waiter thrust the ice cream, Agnes' cry subsided instantly and the girl looked as tender as she was. They really feel astonished. Agnes's behavior is not in accordance with the age that has even stepped on the number twenty-seven years.

"It's so good." Agnes continued to devour the ice cream without caring for those who were currently staring at it.

"If you want more, the fridge is still there." Oma Mila offered, but Agnes shook her head quickly.

"I don't want to. Papa said I can't eat too much ice cream. Later my stomach can hurt," said Agnes. Spending the ice cream, then ask for a tissue to clean his lips.

"Happy?" andra asked half annoyed. Agnes nodded quickly while smiling widely.

"Miss, do you know where your Papa is now?" asked Eldrick who had just been silent. Staring closely at Agnes, Eldrick was very sure that Agnes was the daughter of Anjani because most of Agnes's face went down the Anjani facial line. Unlike Margaretha who is more similar to Affandra.

"Papa was out of town for a week. Maybe three more days he'll be home" replied Agnes innocently.

"You sure your dad's out of town? What if your dad's lying?" ask Eldrick again. The face of Agnes who just looked as lively as ever now turned to look at Eldrick questioningly.

"My father won't lie!" Again, Agnes scooped while pursing her lips. "My father was a good and honest man."

"Are you sure, Miss? What if it turns out your father is a liar and even a murderer" Andra said unknowingly. Eldrick looked at Andra sharply, but Andra remained calm.

"What do you mean?" ask Agnes. Looking at Andra full of sightseeing. Andra was about to open her voice again, but Eldrick immediately banned her. "Why are you silent! Tell me what you mean!" Agnes' voice began to rise.

Opa Jo whispered to Eldrick who immediately nodded in understanding, while the others were only curious because they did not know what Opa Jo whispered.

"Miss, do you know this house?" Eldrick thrust Opa Jo's laptop right in front of Agnes.

"Isn't this Mama Anjani's house" murmured Agnes. However, being able to make Eldrick slightly flinched.

"You know about Mrs Anjani?" Eldrick stared fixedly at Agnes who was currently nodding quickly.

"Even though I've only seen her face once, but papa says it's Mama Anjani's house which now belongs to me" said Agnes honestly.

"Did your dad say that?" ask Eldrick again. This time, only Eldrick spoke to Agnes, while the others were only listeners.

"Yes, papa said that mom left the house. I don't know what makes you and your mom part because they parted when I was a baby. So, I've never felt a mother's affection and embrace." Agnes's voice rattled as it held back the cries. Those who hear it become unbearable. It is as if you feel sad and imagine how painful it is to live without the affection of a mother.

"When you said your mom died, I don't know why I felt so sad. Although I could never hug her, but my heart trembled upon hearing that. In fact, papa often took me to visit my mother's tomb to sow flowers and send flowers," said Agnes. He was like a child who really spoke innocently and honestly.

Agnes nodded quickly, "Papa said mama died in an accident."

Hmh!

Eldrick screeches. Feeling furious because it turns out Janu can lie like that. Although feeling very angry, but Eldrick tried to keep looking calm so that Agnes was not afraid and he could extract a lot of information from the innocent girl.

"Miss, just so you know that your papa is not out of town now, but in this house." Eldrick pointed at Opa Jo's laptop and showed an image of Anjani's house.

"Don't joke! Where my dad might be there. He's out of town!" agnes refused.

"If you don't believe me, please prove it, Miss." Eldrick spoke firmly.

Agnes got up and was about to leave, but Andra immediately held back the girl's steps.

"Where are you going?" ask Andra full of search.

"I will prove the man's words. Is my dad there or not!" Agnes looked annoyed that Andra was in the way.

"Sit down, Miss. We'll go there together. But there was one thing I wanted to ask you before" said Eldrick. Staring at Agnes full of asking.

Agnes complied and sat back down. He looked in wonder at all of them.

"Miss, your father is now holding my young lady."

"Support young lady?" Agnes furrowed both of her brows.

"Yes. So, I hope you'll work together. I'll release you, but on condition that you help me release young lady" Eldrick said. Looking expectantly at Agnes.

Andra pulled out her phone and showed Agnes a picture of Margaretha. "Please help us get rid of him who's now in your papa's custody."

Agnes grabbed Andra's phone and stared at the photo very closely. I feel no stranger to him.

"That! Isn't this a photo of Etha!" agnes shouted at the photo of Margaretha, while they were stunned when they heard it. "Yes, I'm not wrong. This is Etha."
