When The Sky Fall
Chapter 9's

Dance breathed a sigh of relief when she first set foot in Seoul. Half the burden of his life was lifted. After getting a chat from her sister about her father's circumstances, she decides to do something crazy. Dad gets better and his sister is about to graduate. After the storm comes, good days spring up. Dance deliberately does not use credit cards to pay for airline tickets and others. To not be tracked. Yeah, he knows sooner or later Renald will know where he is but it's gonna take some time, right? Because he certainly would not have expected Dari would be this close to going to Korea. He would definitely think Tari would return to Indonesia. So it's gonna take some time. Don't we?

It's been three months of dancing in Seoul. He even got a job. He works at a cafe owned by his friend who had studied in Indonesia first, Park Na Eun. Na Eun initially wanted Tari to work at her father's company. Dance meets the qualifications. But Tari refused. So he works at a cafe and another one, at a convenience store, a convenience store. Dance impromptuly tells Na Eun that she will come to Seoul three months ago. At first she thought Na Eun would scold her and call her a crazy woman. But Na Eun actually welcomed, no, very well. Although only for a moment, because the next Na Eun continues to complain because Tari does not have time to gather with her. Just work, work and work.

During these three months, there was no word from Renald, at all. Like it just disappeared in the swallow of the earth. Dance forgot? Sure didn't. That's what makes him work harder to pay off his debt.

"Cheerrss!!" Dance and Na Eun toast. They eat in the shop while drinking. Dance certainly only drinks cola, while Na Eun drinks beer. Na Eun always told me about her life, her boyfriend, her family. His life is so free, like there are no rules. During his time in Seoul Tari lived with Na Eun because Na Eun's boyfriend was doing conscription. He doesn't want to be alone.

"Don't go home, don't go anywhere. I'm lonely without you." Na Eun's face turned pale.

"What's wrong with you? Are you drunk? Just one glass?" Dance frowned.

"No, I just... Loneliness." Na Eun put her head on her desk.

"God seems like I've been invisible all this time. Can I turn into a ghost? My plane just crashed and I'm here as a ghost."

Na Eun raised her head. "Yes! You crazy?! Why be so extreme when you speak! All right, well I was wrong. I just miss him." Na Eun propped her face up in her hands.

"He will be out of the military soon. Ughhh I'm full." Dance patted her stomach.

"That's what I mean. I miss my freedom like this."

Dari stared in disbelief at Na Eun then laughed. "Basic freak!"

"Ah yes! Can you contact Chae Ri? I couldn't reach him from that moment. He broke his promise to eat with us, now he can't be contacted." Na Eun drinks her beer.

"Try me to call."

Dance opens her phone and searches for the number of Chae Ri, a friend Na Eun introduced.

"Hey, isn't that phone supposed to be dumped in the trash? Or burned and destroyed? How long have you been using it?!" Na Eun shook her head. Dance has never changed her phone since she was in college. Although the screen is cracked here and there, but as long as it can function properly, why waste money to buy a phone?

"You want me to make antiques."

Na Eun clucked. "Basic crazy."

Dance dialed Chae Ri's number. Rang, but not lifted. A few times Dance tries, stay the same.

"can't. He didn't pick it up."

"Any right?"

"Maybe he left without his cell phone."

"Are we going to the rental house now? Are you done eating?"

"It has. Come on."

Dance and Na Eun go. They took a taxi to Chae Ri's house which was located a little far away. Their taxi stopped at a third-floor house. Chae Ri's house is on the roof of that level house. Dance and Na Eun climb the stairs to the roof house.

"God.. I could die up and down these stairs anyway." Na Eun held on to the handle of the stairs and adjusted her breathing. Little laughing dance sees Na Eun and walks past her. Though Na Eun's body is very slim. Na Eun has black hair and is short to shoulder. She always dressed fashionable and beautiful.

Dance had arrived first at the rooftop house and knocked on the door. There's no answer.

"What... Chae Ri's... Any?" ask Na Eun who just came.

"No, it doesn't seem to exist. I've knocked but there's no word." Peep dance in the window. She's surprised. "Uhmmm... Na eun-na's.. Chae Ri's.. A neat guy, right?" tanya Dance suddenly.

"Very. I thought he had OCD. What's the matter?"

"Come here." Pinta Dance. Na Eun painstakingly brought her body closer to Tari and took a peek. Na Eun was also surprised. Chae Ri's house was completely in a mess. Like there was a storm in the house.

"Why is it so messy? What about Chae Ri?" Na Eun panicked. Dari pulled out her phone and dialed Chae Ri's number.

"I didn't hear his cell phone. It means she's not home" said Tari and kept her phone.

"Then where is he?" Na Eun walked to the edge of the fence and steadied down. There is no one lonely. Na Eun looked at Dance. "So what should we do? Are we just gonna wait?"

"Yes, better. I'm worried."

"Let's go to the Convenience store first. Buy something. I'm hungry again." Na Eun went down.

"Aleout?? You ate a lot. I'm really amazed at you. Despite eating as much as you can, you're still thin like that." Dance shook her head and came down.

"That's called a work of art. So come with me to the gym, we'll work out together."

"Uughhh I've been too busy to go to the gym." Dance shook her head strongly, affirming she really did not have the time. They're still down the stairs.

"Why do you have to have two jobs? I've asked you to work for my father's company."

"I'm not crazy yet, Na Eun-ah. The employees will gossip about me."

"Then take part in the selection of new employees. It will be done soon."

"I'm a stranger here, have you forgotten? It will be hard for me to compete with the others."

"Ohhhh come first. So pessimistic!" na Eun said half-screaming. She stopped right in front of the door then turned around and looked at Dari with annoyance on her face. "Usaha first, okay?"

Dance sighed. The next second her gaze was not on Na Eun. The dance runs past Na Eun, making Na Eun surprised.

"What's? What's up?" Na Eun walks after Dance. Dari saw two figures in the distance male and female and one of them she seemed to know him. The man pulled the woman to follow him.

"Chae Ri-ya!!" scream Dance. The two men stopped and looked. The woman was increasingly struggling to run towards Dari. Dance walked closer.

"Ch-Chae Ri?" Na Eun is confused.

"Hey! Let him go or I'll call the police!" menacam Dance. The man stared in disbelief.

"Aaaiiisshh shit.." maki the man. That man was Dong Hoon, Chae Ri's lover. "Go, before I take you too." Dong Hoon threatened. He dragged Chae Ri back. "Follow!!"

"No! I don't want to!! Release!" pekik Chae Ri's. The atmosphere there was already quite night. Dari and Na Eun come to stay at Chae Ri's house.

"I said let go!!" The dance has brought long wooden blocks. Na Eun followed along to pick up the wooden block.

"Fuckin' woman!" maki Dong - Hoon. "Hey! Come outside! Not in the car!" pekik Dong - Hoon. I heard the car door open. Two men got out of the car. Dance and Na Eun are shocked. They thought Dong Hoon was alone.

"Hey! Dong Hoon-na, fight women alone you can't?!" tease friend.

"You didn't see?! I'm dragging this fucking woman! Just stop them. Goddamn bum!"

"Hey hey put down the wood. Dangerous. You'll be wretched." ask one of the men in a mocking tone.

Na Eun nodded then took her phone.

"Fuck, this fucking woman!" one of the men tried to pick up the wood that Dari was holding. Dancing dodged then swung the wood and hit the man's arm earlier. The man cursed and then pulled the wood that Tari was holding. The wood slipped out of his hand. Dance hand in forced pull. Rebellious dance.

"You hit me first, you know the fucking woman!"

A hard slap landed on Tari's cheek. But Dance is still rebelling. While Na Eun was already sitting on the asphalt. Suddenly one kick hit the man who slapped Tari earlier. Dance surprised. Two men came and fought them. Dance quickly came to Na Eun.

"Are you okay?" tanya Dance. Na Eun nodded. Dance helped Na Eun stand up. They're standing on the side of the road. "Na Eun-na, wait here. Don't go anywhere."

The dance runs towards the confused Chae Ri and pulls her towards Na Eun. Police sirens sounded.

"Did you call the police?" tanya Dance. Na Eun shook her head.

"I haven't even opened my phone yet."

The fight stopped when the police arrived. The three people who attacked Chae Ri were battered. Everyone was taken to the police station, including Tari. They were asked about what happened. Dari said the truth but the three men said it was Dance who hit them first.

"That's right sir! Those crazy girls hit me first!" one man who was hit by a wooden dance hit, defended himself.

"It must be because of you!" the police said in front of him.

"Sir, I was just arguing with my lover. But those two crazy women attacked me and my friend. And those men, look! I'm battered!"

"Calm down! Our members are checking the scene." one cop tried to calm down.

"Why check again? Obviously they attacked us first. Even one of their friends must be an illegal immigrant." Dong Hoon pointed at Dance.

Examination is very difficult. Each defended themselves while the policemen who investigated and took evidence at the scene had not yet arrived.

"Good night, sir. I'm from Daewon's attorney's office." one middle-aged man came in and gave his business card to one cop. The policeman took the business card and read it.

"Well, who are you here for?" ask the cop.

"I'm here to defend Mrs William" the lawyer said. Dance felt William's name was very familiar.

"William?" the policeman looked at Tari who was also staring at him.

"I?" tanya Dance. He suddenly remembered Renald's last name was William. Could it?

"Your passport has changed. The writing on the passport is... Sunshine Sunset. But on my computer screen it's called William Sunset Mentari." explained the police. Dance surprised. He did not know his name had changed. "Is your name William right?"

"Ahh that.. My husband's surname." replied Dance. Actually, Dari refused to admit it.

"Is this lady what you mean, lawyer?" ask the policeman while pointing at Tari.

"real sir. Lady William. Renald William's wife, owner and CEO of the G.I corporation." explained the lawyer. Everyone stared at Dance. Even his two friends. They've known that Dance's husband is a psycho-rich man. At least that's what they call Renald.

"We'll take over from here, madam. Just relax."

"We've already taken the information and will take care of the file. Wait a minute."

"Sir, he cannot be freed. He hit my friend. He also has the potential to flee the country." Dong Hoon accused.

"I can sue you because of your words sir, do not carelessly speak." stressed one of the lawyers Tari. Dong Hoon was standing.

"Who do you think you are?! Don't you know who my father is?!" pekik Dong - Hoon.

"Hey! Relax slightly! And sit." one cop ordered.

"Suckers! Where's the fucking lawyer? Slow down!" Dong Hoon sat down.

"Ah yes. We will also represent the two young men." Dance's lawyer appointed the two men who had helped Dance. The policeman frowned.

"Why? Do you know them?"

"They were the bodyguards of mistress William who was assigned to guard the mistress during her time in South Korea."

"Ahhh well then. Mrs William, you can go. We have taken your statement and your lawyer will represent you. Our members have collected evidence regarding this incident and we will contact you if there is any development. So please don't turn off your phone."

"Good sir. What about my friends?"

"They can go too."

"Thank you sir, thank you." Dance and her two friends bowed.

"Let's take madam, I'll drop out."

One lawyer led them out of the police station.

"I'm going in first, madam. Because you still have to take care of your bodyguard." the lawyer bowed respectfully and left.

"Why have you never told your rich husband that quiet story?" ask Na Eun. He folded his hands in front of his chest.

"I've already said it. He's rich."

"He's not rich. But it's very rich!"

"Ugghh I don't care how rich he is." Dance looked at Chae Ri. "Are you okay?"

Chae Ri nodded weakly. He held her stomach. "I'm good."

"We'd better stay at my parents' house. There are some clothes that I purposely live there. So we just go straight there. Tomorrow we go to the apartment." Na Eun suggested. Dance nodded.

"Okay, come on Chae Ri."

"Wait." a voice stopped them. They're looking. Two men were standing behind them and watching them.

"Whoahs... They're human what's a billboard? why so handsome?" muttered Na Eun. Dari was quite surprised by the presence of Renald there with Alex. Renald was wearing only a white shirt and black cloth pants while Alex was still wearing a suit stelan complete with a tie. Renald walked up to them.

"Come with me. To the hotel." said Renald.

"Excuse me... But who.."

"My name is Renald, Renald William. Husband Dance." Renald stretched out his hand.
