Your love gave me life
The Good Kidnapper

Annabelle stretched her body under the blanket. Actually there is a sense of discomfort because it does not take a shower even though this room feels cold without using air conditioning.

Sisi is still asleep. Last night finished cleaning up, Sisi again cried thinking about his mother and sister who were at home.

Sisi himself has no papa since the 2nd grade of Junior High and during this educational affair, they are assisted by his brother from his father.

With a slow motion Annabelle flicked the blanket and got off the bed, her throat felt dry. The wall clock in the room was 6:10 a.m. Annabelle could only sleep at 3 am because Sisi had a few times delirious.

There is regret in Annabelle's heart for involving her best friend when she became Sarah Belle.

Just as Annabelle came out of the bathroom after washing her face and toothbrush, there was the sound of the door being opened.

Annabelle walked over and saw a large tall man coming in carrying a tray.

“Your breakfast,” he said in a heavy voice.

Annabelle received a tray containing two dishes of fried rice. Not yet Annabelle stepped up, seen a middle-aged female servant delivering a paper bag.

“Clothes for them,” said the maid earlier to the large man still standing at the door.

Annabelle immediately smiled and thanked him. His heart calmed down because he believed that the kidnappers had actually locked him up to get information about the photos of Sarah and Mr. Gilang, not others.

Unable to wake Sisi, Annabelle finally pulled out the contents of the pouch that the maid she knew but the maid did not recognize her.

There are 2 t-shirts complete with 2 pairs of new underwear that are still labeled.

Annabelle rushed into the bathroom, intending to wash herself because it felt sticky and uncomfortable.

Limabelas minutes later Annabelle came out of the bathroom and saw Sisi sitting on the bed with her eyes moist and heard her sobbing again though slowly

“Si, don't cry anymore, dong,” Annabelle take a tissue and clean Sisi's face. “Gue believes that this kidnapping is not because it wants to ask for ransom. If there is anything, I will ask you to be released as long as you promise to fulfill their request.”

“Gue is still scared, Belle. Imagine..”

“Don't imagine anything, Si. I am sure that today we will be reunited with the boss of the people who brought us,” Annabelle smiled and held both fingers Sisi.

“Better now elo shower first. Even though we are only given t-shirts and underwear to replace, at least we can clean. I've finished my shower.”

Annabelle stretched her arms out with a smile, revealing her fresher face and some of her hair that was still wet.

Annabelle took two more pieces of tissue for Sisi. The friend smiled and was amazed at Annabelle's courage and calm demeanor in this situation.

“Well dong,” Annabelle laughs softly. “If elo not nethink at least we can think of finding a way out to face this problem.”

“Gue is amazed by elo, Belle. Elo could have survived Alden even though he had been ignored for years. Life is full of optimism and positive thoughts.” Annabelle just laughed softly.

“You ate first or took a shower first?” ask Annabelle.

“Eat first, my stomach is really hungry,” Sisi rubbed his stomach.

Annabelle laughed again and nodded. He walked to the sofa ahead of Sisi because a tray containing food was placed on a table near the sofa.

Both of them enjoyed breakfast while talking about many things they had passed as friends. Their travels during school, college and many others made him laugh and be grateful for everything they could go through.

Annabelle can be a little relieved when she sees Sisi getting calmer and tells her best friend to take a bath to refresh herself.

Annabelle was standing in the window with the curtains open. He smiled to himself, making sure that this place was a villa owned by the Gilang family and he had come here when he became Sarah Belle.

The two talked again to spend time and forget their anxieties until finally the door was opened again and one of the sturdy men stood at the door.

“It looks like they didn't shower overnight either,” whispered Annabelle while giggling. “Or they buy clothes directly a dozen to be cheaper.”

“What's the reason?” Sisi knitted his brows in confusion as he alternately glanced at Annabelle and the man standing at the door.

“Since yesterday their shirt was just a black suit,” Annabelle said as she pulled Sisi's hand to hold on to her arm.

“Boss we want to meet you guys,” that firm and fierce voice instantly talk without stale ado.

“Happyly,” Annabelle smiled as she stepped closer to the door.

The man shifted to give way to Annabelle and Sisi.

“Don't try to escape,” firmly the man as Annabelle and Sisi have already passed.

“Not going,” Annabelle turned around with a smile even she gave an ok sign by fusing her right thumb and index finger.

“Where should we meet Mr Reyhan?”

The man frowned as Annabelle mentioned the name.

“I know it was Mr. Reyhan who told you to bring us here. I remember your name Samson. You were the one who brought Sarah here a while ago after drugging both her guards.”

The man called his name was increasingly confused because he felt he had never met let alone know Annabelle. How can this girl know about Sarah's events even her name?”

“Where can I meet Mr Reyhan?” Annabelle repeated her question with a smile.

“On the back porch. Someone will take you downstairs.”

“Thank you,” Annabelle nodded with a smile.

Sisi also knitted his eyebrows at Annabelle's conversation with the man as if he knew her. Sisi did not have time to ask, he only realized that Annabelle was almost on the 1st floor. Rushing Sisi caught up with him.

The handsome man turned around and looked to be frowning his brows, trying to recognize the girl who greeted him with a smile.

Annabelle approached and directly extended her hand.

“How are you doing Reyhan ? My name is Annabelelle.”

Reyhan was still shaking with his eyebrows that were looking down because he did not recognize the figure of the woman standing in front of him confidently.

“I'm Annabelle, the woman who had foiled Sarah to frame Alden.”

Annabelle still stretched out her hand but when she saw Reyhan reluctant to return her hand, Annabelle pulled him back.

Reyhan frowned, leaning his body trying to see Annabelle's face closer.

“Where are your thick glasses ? Did the accident suddenly make you see more clearly ?” Reyhan laughed cynically.

“It seems so,” Annabelle replied casually while laughing softly. “And it seems I should thank Sarah who can change my appearance.”

“So like this looks the toxic geeky Alden ?” Reyhan leaned back and narrowed his eyes, watching Annabelle's face closer.

Beautiful, Inner Reyhan. How Alden could resist such a beautiful woman and her courage made me curious.

“Don't look at me too closely,” Annabelle chuckled while taking a few steps back. “Let's fall in love with me.”

Reyhan screeched and smiled cynically, although inwardly a little interested in Annabelle's personality.

“I know what your purpose is to bring me and my best friend here,” Annabelle said casually.

“Of course you know because your friend already knows the reason my people are looking for him,” Reyhan said with a cynical smile.

“I'm not a person who likes stale bases,” Annabelle said. “After all we are not business partners who need to negotiate to achieve business agreement.”

“Good if you already understand.”

“Reyhan, I won't forget my promise to give you that free disc and I'm sorry I crossed the promised deadline. But before giving it to you, I have one condition,” Annabelle folds both hands in front of the chest.

“Didn't you say that we're not business partners who need to negotiate to reach an agreement.”

“Ya and that before you involve my best friend.”

“Because he was the one Sarah met that night. The woman you said was the friend who carried the envelope with the pictures of the curse.”

“I know because I told her to,” Annabelle said while nodding. “And I'll give you that loose disc after you free Sisi and drive him back to his house.”

“What is the guarantee that you will give me the free disc after I release it ? What if he reports to the police and ends up setting me up for legal trouble.”

“No need for Sisi to be released, if you still hold me 24 hours longer it is certain that the police will arrest you for kidnapping. And before the 2x24 hour deadline expires, please let go of my friend and I will still be with you. I vouch with my life that Sisi won't report this incident as kidnapping. I've asked him to make up stories about staying at broken friends and cell phones.

The free disc problem is in my house, neatly stored and as promised when we meet in Bogor, I will give the original free disc so that Sarah's problems with Mr. Gilang's family will end.”

“I don't feel like I've met you in Bogor.”

“Slightly long explain it. If you remember I asked you to see Yudha, the psychiatrist who helped Sarah after she had an accident. But I'm sure that Yudha is just like me, forgetting that it's only 2 weeks that we asked for.”

“Don't talk play here and there, I prefer people who are firm and to the point.”

“Free Sisi and return it to his family then take me home to pick up the loose disc and spare a little time so I can explain everything.”

“Do not try to negotiate let alone arrange me to comply with all your wishes,” asserted Reyhan with hardened jaws.

“You're a good man, Rey. I can feel it while I'm with you. That's why I've decided to give you the original file that Sarah kept and used to threaten your papa.

Still remember that speech when we met in Bogor the other day ?”

“Do not play the word !” royhan Bengkak. “I never remember meeting you. I didn't forget that sentence, but I really don't remember meeting you before.”

“This is what I want to explain through Yudha, the psychiatrist who accompanied Sarah after the accident. Please take Sisi home today and I'll stay here. Give me my phone to call Yudha for a few minutes and after that you can call her back.”

Reyhan looked doubtful and looked at Annabelle with eyes that occasionally narrowed, looking at the honesty of Annabelle's words.

“Please trust me,” pinta Annabelle.

“And Sisi, “ Annabelle turned around and asked Sisi to approach. “Please help me by keeping all these events secret. Tell anyone who forces you, Annabelle only takes an extra 1 day and please don't bother her.”

“But Belle..”.

“Sisi, I sincerely believe that Mr. Reyhan is a very good man because as long as we are here, Mr. Reyhan entertains us well despite being locked up in the room. Please help me one more time, Sisi. Please trust me and Mr. Reyhan,” pinta Annabelle while clutching both fingers Sisi, pleading her with a clear face.

“Alright only 1 day, means until tomorrow. If you don't tell me, then I'll tell everyone who can help you.”

Annabelle nodded with a smile then she turned her head to look at Reyhan to confirm his promise to the man.

“Alright, I trust you, but if you break my trust, not only will you regret it, but your friends and family will regret your decision today !”

“Thank you Reyhan,” Annabelle smiled widely. “My eyes never misjudge people. You are a very good-hearted man.”

Reyhan glared irritatedly and threw his face in another direction. It was difficult to refuse Annabelle's request to look at her with confidence and honesty.
