The Story of Margaretha
19

Janu was confused when his phone rang again. He let the call go until it was interrupted and kept a close eye on the black car that was currently in the courtyard. A message came in, Janu immediately opened it and read a message from Agnes asking about her car parked in front of Anjani's house.

Janu realizes that he can no longer lie. Agnes already knew and inevitably she still had to see her daughter. Janu contacted Wibisono who was still in the room and told him all about Agnes' arrival. Wibisono just assented although inwardly suspicious.

"Pa! Papa!" agnes' screams echoed in the living room. The girl continued to shout in while calling out to the papa. "Papa where! I know papa's here!" agnes shouted constantly.

"Honey," call Janu from upstairs. Agnes looked up and smiled as she looked at Janu who was walking downstairs. However, when Janu had reached the bottom, Agnes refused when she was about to be hugged even the girl was directly next to her.

"Father liar!" Agnes spoke annoyedly like a child who was lashing out.

"I'm sorry, dear. Papa's just taking a break here and planning on making a surprise for you." Janu forced her to hug Agnes even though the girl refused. Then kiss the top of Agnes' head. Somehow, hearing Margaretha's curse-like speech made Janu feel worried and afraid if something bad happened to her daughter. His heart kept praying that his daughter would always be fine.

Wibisono came out and approached them. However, Wibisono immediately pulled out a gun to make Janu jerk.

"Bison!" bentak Janu's. He didn't want it until Agnes found out everything.

"We're surrounded, sir." The tail of Wibisono's eyes glanced to the right and left. Janu immediately let go of his embrace and was surprised to see Andra, Patricia, Kenzi, and the others were pointing guns at him.

"Darling, come upstairs" Janu ordered. Agnes was about to go upstairs, but Janu hugged her daughter again. "You're safer in papa's arms."

"Sir, tell me where you're holding the young lady! Or I won't hesitate to kill your daughter!" andra shouted with anger. The look in her eyes looked so scary that it made Agnes who saw it even shudder in horror.

"How dare you come here! Don't you know that you're the same as going into a tiger's den?" Janu chuckled and stared disdainfully at them.

"Don't be happy, sir. Let's see whose bullet will kill who first. Moly, are you ready, honey?" Patricia spoke casually while kissing her beloved gun. Wibisono smiled when he saw that. Patricia is really very interesting in his opinion.

A shot was heard and after that the sound of falling objects surprised all of them. Apparently, Patricia's bullet hit the picture frame there until it fell and the glass broke apart. Agnes' body looked violently trembling. Janu who felt that even more tightened his embrace and asked that his daughter stay calm.

When the atmosphere started to heat up, Eldrick went in there and made Janu open his eyes wide to make sure his vision was not wrong. Janu did not expect that Eldrick was still alive even the man looked very healthy.

"How are you, sir?" Eldrick greeted while smiling cunningly. Seeing the heat, Wibisono pressed a button to call his men.

"You're still alive?" jane asked in disbelief.

"Still, Sir. Didn't you see for yourself that I'm standing here?" Eldrick chuckled as he looked at Janu who was still in disbelief.

"Aren't you dead with Anjani and Affandra?" Janu shook his head in disbelief.

"Papa, what Mr El said is true? Did Papa kill Mama Anjani? Didn't Papa say, Mama Anjani died in an accident?" Agnes kept asking questions, while Janu kept her mouth shut.

"Let me explain, Miss."

"Shut up!" sela Janu snapped. However, Eldrick smiled in a slant.

"Why? Your daughter should know everything." Eldrick was silent as Janu raised his gun, but Agnes quickly grabbed the gun and broke his embrace.

"Agnes!" janu shouted in surprise. He was about to snatch, but Agnes put the gun on his temple and held the trigger firmly.

"Stop there or I'll shoot myself in the head, Pa!" get Agnes. Her tears are flowing. Janu stopped his steps and stood in place. Staring at Agnes was full of worry.

"Tell me, Mr El! What really happened!" Agnes's orders. Staring at Eldrick full of asking.

"Miss, it was your father who killed Mr. Affandra and Mrs Anjani out of heartache with their happiness."

"So, I'm not Mama Anjani's son? Say it more clearly!" agnes' orders because they don't understand everything.

"Miss, you are indeed Lady Anjani's child with this jerk. But, because of something they had to part. Mrs Anjani remarried to Mr. Affandra, but your father was not willing to kill them. Making Young Miss Margaretha an orphan" Eldrick said. Janu was resigned and confused because he could not do anything anymore.

"So, Etha is my sister?" ask Agnes lirih. The girl's breath began to sting. Janu who saw also started to worry.

"Darling, I'll explain everything."

"Stop right there, Pa! Just one step, then I'll pull this off including you too, Bison!" Agnes looked at Wibisono who was about to shoot Eldrick. Wibisono's finger was restrained.

"The hydra! You find Etha right now!" Agnes's orders. Andra nodded and immediately looked for Margaretha. Janu's men who were about to shoot Andra, immediately restrained themselves because of Agnes' orders that no one should get in the way.

Andra searched every corner of the room, there was no sign of Margaretha. However, when opening the back shed, Andra was surprised to see the situation Margaretha who had been limp and looked sad.

"Mar ...." Andra's voice was stifled and shocked to see Margaretha wearing only a bra. What makes Andra more silent is seeing the many signs of ownership there.

Margaretha who saw Andra's reaction was only able to silence her mouth tightly. Margaretha was sure that Andra must have been disgusted to see her condition like this.

"Go, Ndra. I'm dirty, "push Margaretha aside. Andra was still unmoved in her place and kept staring at Margaretha with an inexplicable gaze.
