The Story of Margaretha
28

Agnes' saliva was about to drip looking at the food that was presented completely on the table. Without caring about Gatra standing beside him, Agnes devoured the food and seemed very greedy. Agnes did not care about the surroundings at all.

"Slowly, Nes. No one is seizing" Margaretha reminded.

"It's so good, Etha." Agnes continued to eat the food. Margaretha only shook her head when she saw it and ate the food that was common to her because she used to often serve and eat the food.

Gatra was about to leave there because he did not want to disturb the two girls. However, Gatra's steps came to a halt when he heard a familiar voice calling Margaretha's name. Not only was Gatra silent, but Margaretha also stopped her chewing when she saw Andra walking closer.

"Jeez, Mar. You're making me worry." Andra sat down beside Margaretha and immediately drank Margaretha's drink without caring for the girl who was already grunting violently.

"Ndra," call Gatra.

"Oh, my God, I forgot about Gatra." Andra greeted Gatra as a pleasant greeting after a long time without meeting.

Gatra, who was just about to return to the room, finally sat down to join them and chatted a lot. Only Agnes stayed there because she did not know what chat would be discussed. Andra was a little astonished when Gatra invited her into the room because there was something important to talk about.

"You look so close?" agnes asked curiously after the two men left from there.

"Sure, Nes. Me and Andra used to work here together."

"Now you guys stop?" ask Agnes again. Margaretha just nodded her head and told Agnes to finish the food immediately.

Meanwhile, Gatra sat next to Andra on the sofa in his room. They talk a lot and they both are so connected. Gatra was happy to have friends chatting again now. Honestly, after Andra stopped working, Gatra felt lonely because during his work at the restaurant, Andra was very helpful.

"You're not working yet, Ndra?" ask Gatra. Sounds a little serious.

"Yes, Mas. I am still a lawyer aka unemployment many events," said Andra accompanied by laughter. Gatra laughed when he heard it.

"How about you just help me."

"Help me what, Mas?"

"I'm going to open a restaurant branch in XX street area, but I'm having trouble managing it alone. Will you help me manage it? These few days I have had a hard time contacting you" Gatra said. Andra's forehead looked shriveled deep.

"When did it open, Mom?" ask Andra again.

"Two days left. If you would invite Margaretha or anyone else to work there, I would not forbid. For sure, he can work well. How's it?" tawar Gatra's.

Andra rubbed her chin to think. He currently does need a permanent job, of course in addition to his duties as a spy with Patricia. Seeing Gatra's gaze that was so hopeful for him, Andra nodded in agreement. Accept that offer. So happy Gatra hugged Andra tightly. Afterwards, Andra said goodbye because she had to watch Margaretha.

Agnes no longer returned to the hospital because the girl cried asking to go home. Despite her health, Agnes finally returns home with Margaretha to Anjani's house. From now on, Margaretha will live there with Agnes. Eldrick and Andra lived there after Margaretha was so forced.

Upon seeing the fast-asleep Agnes, Margaretha immediately got out of bed and out of the room headed to the living room where Eldrick and Andra were sitting together.

"No, Uncle. Why aren't you sleeping?" Margaret asked back.

"Not yet, Young Miss. There are still things we are discussing. Miss, what about Janu? Are you ready to discuss the case?" Eldrick looked at Margaretha who seemed to be sighing deeply many times.

"Uncle, what if we just cut it off. I'll forgive the man."

"Can't!" Andra interrupted quickly. His tone sounded full of emotion. "Mar, that jerk killed your parents and almost killed you. After we've painstakingly caught him and you'll just let go? I don't know your way of thinking, Mar!" Andra shakes. Margaretha could see a disappointed look from Andra's eyes.

"I feel sorry for Agnes" - timpal Margaretha.

"Leave it! Didn't that man have no pity on you at all? Don't be so good being a person, Mar! If everyone like you had crime, it would be even more rampant!" Andra really looks really upset.

"What did Andra say, Miss? The man must get his reward for what he did." Eldrick agreed with Margaretha's words, leaving the girl silent for a moment. No longer know what to say.

They did not realize that Agnes was eavesdropping from behind the wall. The girl didn't really sleep. Upon hearing Margaretha's footsteps, Agnes immediately ran and entered the room. Before Margaretha opened the door, Agnes first closed her eyes.

Margaretha went up to the bed and laid her body beside Agnes. He was seen sighing long time and time again to slightly reduce the anxiety of his heart.

"What should I do?" murmured Margaretha galau. On the one hand he wants Janu to be imprisoned for as long as possible, but on the other hand feels unbearable with Agnes. That girl must be feeling very lonely. Margaretha was worried that Agnes' health would drop.

"City ...."

Margaretha flinched upon hearing the call from Agnes. He turned his head and saw Agnes' gaze so hard to explain.

"You awake?" margaret asked half nervously.

"Etha .. I'm thirsty."

Without saying anything, Margaretha got out of bed and went out to get a drink for Agnes. Agnes' smile was glistened with Margaretha's attitude that was so attentive to her.

"Is there anything else you want?" ask Margaretha. Put an empty glass on the nightstand. Agnes nodded slowly. "Then go to sleep again."

Margaretha broke her body again, Agnes did the same. However, the two girls were both staring at the sky of the room and were busy with their respective thoughts.

"Etha .. I'd like to ask you something. Will you answer honestly?" agnes asked breaking the silence between them. Margaretha tilted her body and looked at Agnes who was still staring upwards.

"What would you ask?"

"Is it true that my father is out of town? Not in custody?"

Margaretha silently heard Agnes' question. He also looks more nervous when Agnes has turned around until their current position is facing each other.

"Tell me the truth, Etha. Even though it hurts later, it's better than having to lie" Agnes said so demandingly.
