Villainess' Giving Up
Weak and Unempowered

That night Aria had returned early.

He had contacted Harry to ask about Arkas and Harry replied that Arkas was still in his company.

Aria's car slowly enters the gates of Harry's family's company. Aria parked it in front of the building yard and did not intend to put the car in the Basement.

Aria had now exited, then stepped into the main entrance.

Aria really felt obligated to meet Arkas, that was how her feelings wanted.

He missed the building.

He stopped his steps and looked at her.

He looked at the compound where Suan once stood. He saw the garden where he and Rena were sometimes located.

He doesn't see Rena anymore, maybe because Aria is no longer in the company, Rena is no longer working there.

Aria enters the building, she looks at the elevator door and remembers entering it often with Michelle.

She misses Michelle, no matter when she becomes sensitive to friendship.

Aria begins to enter the elevator to the floor where Harry's room is located.

Until the elevator opens and Aria steps out of there.

Aria just stood up and looked at the corridor where she spent time with Suan.

It hurts so much, though,

Why didn't Suan tell him?

He wanted to be angry, so angry that he felt abandoned. But slowly his heart tried to stay calm.

Aria started to step up, she approached Elbram's room earlier. The room now belongs to Arkas.

Elbram, who works for Suan, has traveled to California.

Michelle, who has been engaged, is no longer working as a deputy director, perhaps she is being groomed to become a bride.

Aria looked at Arkas, the man seemingly asleep at his desk.

“He always falls asleep.” Aria murmured softly then she turned her head when she heard the footsteps of someone's shoes.

“Why do you have to come nights like this?”

Harry approached Aria, the man who knew Aria was coming to his company began to grab her Secretary's seat and put it near Aria and he sat there, looking up, looking at Aria who was standing.

“I just want to see Arkas, that's it.”

Aria started turning around, “I came home,”

“You come in a hurry, go home too so fast.”

Harry smiled bitterly, as if he was reluctant to see Aria leave from his side.

“I need a break, tomorrow I have to go back to the office at 7 am.”

Aria's sad eyes surprised Harry.

Harry thought the Aria he knew no longer existed.

The woman beside him had been completely different back then.

“Alright, I'll take you down.”

Harry stood up when he saw Aria nodding her head.

Then he followed Aria into the elevator door.

“Suan didn't tell you, huh?”

Harry's question aggravates Aria's heart that really misses Suan.

“How about you?”

Aria asked back, she was reluctant to look at Harry because both of the woman's eyes had turned red.

“You just weren't contacted let alone me.”

Harry tried to calm down Aria's sadness. “just calm down, Elbram also can not be contacted, they are really very busy.”

“I know that,” Aria slightly developed her smile but was forced, she recalled that the employees at the company Dikintama also fell asleep there so she had realized that it was true, indeed, Suan was so busy that he could not tell her.

The elevator door opened, Aria began to open the glasses that she was still wearing and put them in a small bag that she was carrying.

“Be careful, I have told my subordinates to protect you from afar, so take it easy, even though there is no Suan, you still have me by your side.”

“Hm,” Aria nodded her head, then began to step foot into the courtyard of the building.

“Ahh so right here Aria workplace, yes?”

A person's voice shocked Aria who instantly stopped her steps.

Aria's body seemed to tremble, the woman clutching her aching stomach as she looked at a petite woman slowly approaching her.

Harry was surprised to see Aria's condition, he looked at the source of the voice and his eyes widened when he saw a person who had visited his party.

“Aahh... “ Aria started complaining of pain.

His face was pale and sweat soaked the body.

“You who?” harry asked as he ordered the security guards to block the woman from approaching Aria.

“I,” the woman stopped a step, “... lying weak and helpless.”

“Ahhh haa hikkss.hikkss.

“Aria!”

Harry ran fast, chasing after Aria who had thrown away her bag then ran fast in an uncertain direction.

Petite woman smiles satisfied, her eyes shut in emotion, “ step aside!” then ordered the security guards to step aside from his steps.

But the security guard did not step aside until he took out hundreds of thousands of bills and gave them to the two security guards who followed his orders.

“Easy once you take a bribe, I think the employees in this company are very different from the employees in the company Dikintama and Anderston.”

Said the woman feeling fed up, she refused again to see the scenery that she had thought would be pleasant.

“Sorry miss,”

“No, just go ahead!, and I really like people like you.”

As the woman was quick, she began to turn around and step back into her car.

Meanwhile, Aria is seen running fast through the sidewalk of the city street, “ Ahh Suan, I was scared once.” The woman's tears were carried by the night wind that hit, “Ahh hikss Suan, Suan help me, uweekk..” His stomach could not stand it anymore, “Akkhh,” until he was weak and then lying on his side falling helplessly, “Akkhh, Suan, grandfather, where are you?, uweekk,” Aria who still holds his stomach, Aria who still holds his stomach, and, slowly trying to sit down.

A motorist seemed to be approaching but disengaged when Harry had come closer.

“Aria, Aria, why are you?, are you okay?”

Harry crouched down, he looked at Aria's injured forehead and knees.

“Where's suan?, where's my grandfather?”

Aria cleansed the tears many times while holding her aching stomach, she still cried as she pleased, confusing Harry that night.

“Suan is still in California, and your grandfather,” Harry raised Aria's body on both hands, “isn't he no more?”

“Then who will protect me?, I am so scared.”

Aria rubbed her face many times, that night Harry intended to take her to the hospital.

“There's me,”

“No, You can't protect me, I need Suan, Please call Suan for me.”

Aria's words hurt Harry, even though Harry still brought Aria back to his company to take the car.

“Director, are you okay?”

The voice of someone surprised Aria.

“Let me down!”

Harry had to lower Aria's body.

“You okay?”

Then he was surprised when Aria stopped crying and asked him about Arkas.

Arkas confusion, Harry also no less confused.

“Aren't you the one who got hurt?, why are you asking me about my good news?”

Arkas frowned, he looked at Aria who had rubbed her face.

“Thank God it turns out you're okay, I'm so afraid you're weak and helpless.”

Harry was surprised, he remembered the words that made Aria had run fast suddenly.

“What are you talking about?, treat your injured leg first.”

He was reluctant to see Aria's strange attitude towards him.

“Hm,” nods Aria then turns his head when Harry grabs his arm.

“You okay?” harry asked so worriedly, he looked at the eyes of Aria who had been afraid of having turned back to normal.

“I'm fine as long as Arkas is fine.”

Aria started walking with her limp legs. He passed Arkas who had stopped stepping when listening to Aria's sentence.

Harry was stunned, he was still standing looking at Aria's back.

“You want to protect me huh, Aria?”

“Hm, of course.” Aria stopped her steps, she turned around when she heard Arkas question.

“Why have you always wanted to protect me?”

Aria smiled gently,

“.........”

Then he turned around and left Arkas and Harry confused by Aria's whispering words.

“Why do you want to always protect me, Aria?” ask Arkas again made Aria smile bitterly.

“Already explained free of charge.”

Said Aria from a distance, she kept stepping leaving a deep shock for the two men who were still looking at her back from a distance.

**********

“Dijlasikpun free only, they also will not know the strange feelings I experienced.”

His gaze was faint, slowly Aria's feet entered the room of Suan's apartment and then closed the door.

Aria really needs Suan but she must survive without the man so as not to always be troublesome.

Aria's footsteps continued to move until she reached for the P3K box in the living room closet.

While walking, he passed through Suan's study and again his heart felt pain.

“Tega once he didn't tell.”

Aria cleans her tears again and puts the bag on the mattress and then sits in front of the mirror while reaching for antiseptics and then pour it on a cotton swab to clean the blood on the forehead.

After putting the plaster on the scratches on the forehead, Aria began to clean both knees of her feet with antiseptic back.

“Suan,” murmured Aria cleaned her tears again that came out.

That night he did not call the doctor, he thought, independently better even though he was still not used to it.

Taakk...

“Haaa.”

Lights off, thorough.

“Why can the power go out in a place as expensive as this?”

Aria grabs the phone in a pants pocket before she finishes cleaning the wound.

It was quiet and dark too.

It made Aria feel afraid to settle there.

Aria started to step out of the apartment and headed to the lobby glass door.

The power was out, there was no visible light from the glass door except for the starlight in the sky.

Aria grabbed the keys to the car that she was still holding in the front pants pocket.

He opened the apartment door and limped down the stairs.

Occasionally, the owner of another apartment also goes down the stairs so that he does not feel alone anymore.

Aria continued to step towards the parked car close to the main entrance. Then he unlocked the door and entered it and turned it on and drove it away from there.

That night he went home to his family.

He misses coming home. He thought it was okay to go home for a while but after he got there.

Empty,

There's no one there.

Many times he pressed the gate button but there was no call.

“Dad,”

Aria begins to contact her father, but goes unanswered.

He called his mother.

“Mother where?” aria asked when the call had been answered.

“Mother is in Singapore, where grandma, Aria, you miss mom huh?”

Aria's mother's voice has been heard to make Aria shed tears because she felt so missed him.

“Mother, where's father?, why doesn't anyone come out to open the gate?, I don't have the house keys, I know I left suddenly, don't you?”

Aria rubbed her tears, She thought things were changing very quickly because of the strange feeling she was experiencing.

“Hmmm dad, “

Aria's mother's voice sounded nervous, “Why don't you come to her office directly?” the order is like having no choice to answer, “if you're not there, what else is the house inhabited for, you know mom likes to travel right?, you know, you like to travel?, you also know your father was very busy working so the house should have been vacated.”

“Hikss hikks, mom I miss you.”

Aria interrupted her mother's words.

“Mother will be home tonight, wait ya!”

Aria's mother's voice also sounded pitiful.

“Hm,” Aria shook her head and went back into her car, “Mom is pregnant, mom can't go out at night, anytime mom can come home to see me, or I'll take the time to come to grandma's house later.”

Aria started the car.

“Alright, mom wait for Aria to come ya.”

“Hm,” then disconnects the call and cries as much as possible before driving the car that has been lit.

There was no Suan, neither was his mother in the city, his father could not be reached, his grandfather was gone.

Aria, that night had no one to lean on from her grief.

“Haa hikss hikkss.”

After she finished crying, Aria touched her phone screen again, she contacted someone who was her father's assistant.

“Uncle,”

Call received, Aria smiled a little relieved, “where is my father?”

“Nona,”

His Assistant's voice sounded unexpectedly that Aria would contact him.

“We're in New Delhi, miss. Company here is a little troubled.”

“So so yes!”

Aria decides on the call, she really has no one in the city.

He remembered Rena but did not know where the woman lived, so Aria decided to return to Suan Apartment.

The car continues to drive until it stops on the side of the road, Aria saw the lights of the apartment has been lit but it does not seem to come from electric power, it is seen because in other buildings, the lights still remain out.

Aria exited, she stepped into the park in front of the Apartment building, letting the car stay on the edge of the road.

The woman sat in a state of dismay on a park bench, looking at the streets of the city with a gaze filled with sadness.

“Because you've always protected me then tonight it's my turn to protect you.”

Aria looked at the head, though,

“ Archive!”

“You're anywhere, I saw you come out earlier but when I called you didn't hear it.”

Arkas sat on the other bench facing Aria.

“So I'm not alone yes, haaa hikkss.”

“Hey stop crying, you're not ashamed ya!”

Arkas began to stand up and approached Aria and stroked the back of the woman who seemed to cover her face with both hands.
