"It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to resign from this guidance. I have a reason for this. Please Mr. Instructor can understand my condition and thank you for giving me the opportunity to be promoted to assistant director in this company."
"Sadly, you're quick-witted and very clever, Lalis. But if that's your will then I can't do anything. The director's confirmation also agrees that you want to get out of this guidance" said the supervisor.
After solidifying his decision, Lalis could be relieved as well as a lot of the rest of the time he would spend to find his brother.
Once the news has reached the mouth of the employees, there will be nothing they miss in the group chat. Given that Lalis had encountered rumors back then, this time it was more than just a rumor.
The group chats all lead to the already resigned Lalis.
Lalis no longer felt depressed, she would swallow everything without caring about it.
Great sends a message through HP.
*Don't worry, I immediately silenced them*
Lalis was speechless no more. He let what Great wanted to do.
But eventually the news was shut down because employees were talking about Mr. Great's friend who had just walked into the director's room. Lalis became curious about who the employees meant so they were so excited about it.
"Say he's Mr. Great's childhood friend. They grew up together often called twins because of the many similarities of them," said Bu Saka who surprised Lalis.
"Is your resignation smooth, Lalis?" ask Ms. Saka.
"Yes. Hopefully my decision won't make me regret."
Bh Saka just nodded. "Since when have you been close to each other?"
Lalis's confused. What does Bu Saka mean is himself and Great?
"I've never seen Mr. Great that familiar with anyone else. Even with Mr. Joy as well I never saw Mr. Great as familiar as you were," continued Ms. Saka.
"That-we're not that close," Lalis replied.
"That's it. I already know,"
Lalis paid no heed to Miss Saka. He thought more about who was meant by Great friend. Forgot if he didn't ask the girl what guy to Bu Saka.
And it's true. Lalis waited for the notification from Mr. Great, usually before the afternoon break, Great will ask where Lalis ate. But now it's not. He was increasingly curious as to what kind of friend Great can make Great forget him.
He waited until the office work was done, still there was no Great notification. Usually Great would ask who it was with but now there was no notification at all since this morning.
Until he went home he kept thinking about Great's friend. Waiting for a notification just tired let alone waiting for an answer.
Jemin who is studying must be disturbed because Lalis continues to make him unfocused.
"What's wrong, anyway? if the snack is really dong. Don't be rich little children" criticizes the disturbed Jemin.
How not to be disturbed, the sound of Lalis's crickets when eating a snack sounds disgusting. Luckily, the one with him was his sister.
"Yes, yes."
Instead of thinking about the thing that made him burdened, mending he went to bed early.
Tomorrow is sunday. Every week Lalis always routinely run around the park in the back of her apartment. Sometimes Great likes to appear suddenly when running, maybe Lalis must wait for tomorrow to meet Great.
Lalis's guess is right. The next day in the morning after three rounds around the park, Great likened his running rhythm to Lalis. How bright Lalis heart but he did not show that pleasure.
They smile as a sign of greeting in the morning.
"I'm not surprised if your height is very good" said Great.
"My brother is taller, I just want to be like my brother" Lalis replied with a steady breath.
"However your height is better suited if you pair with me."
Hold it if your heart wants to beat, Lalis!
Lalis fell silent because she did not know what to answer.
"Oh, yeah. What time do you want to go to the hospital?"
"Around 2 o'clock,"
"This week I can't go looking,"
Although not hopeful, but hearing this made Lalis surprised. Lalis fell silent.
"I've never heard Mr. Great can't except today," Inner Lalis.
To ask 'why?' even Lalis felt unworthy because there was a boundary between them.
"Also Mr. Great always accompanied me to see my mother every week" Lalis said.
"Yes. Doesn't matter. After all, every week Mr. Great always accompanies me," replied Lalis.
"You didn't ask why?" ask Great.
I don't know why Lalis felt weak when it was only 5 rounds, usually 10 rounds he was strong. Not about Great, is it the reason?
Lalis finally stopped with a breath of excitement. Great was also surprised when only 5 rounds.
"Let's sit down first, it looks like you're tired" Great asked.
"Where is Mr Great going?" lalis asked after feeling entitled because Great seemed to open the door to her question.
"My friend is from Europe, and there are important things we need to talk about" Great replied.
Lalis's face endured the displeasure, she was agitated, her gaze did not rise, continuing to look at the ground since sitting down earlier. I don't know jealous if Great girl's friend, but why does Lalis care about it. Want a girl or a guy that is not his business, anyways Lalis has a boyfriend.
"Chick or boy?"
After asking this matter Lalis regained consciousness. Wouldn't it be very obvious to look unhappy if Lalis said that. Great was silent for a moment until he finally smiled, thinking that Lalis would be jealous if her friend was a girl.
"My friend's guy, he's named Willie. Actually he came home a month ago but because of a lot of business in the country, he only met me yesterday."
Lalis let out a sigh of relief because Great's answer was the thing he wanted to hear.
"There's a lot I want to tell you. Can we go out tonight,"
***
Great Joul Residence.
"Do you have a twin?"
Great was astonished by Willie's question which he thought was absurd.
Willie gave a polaroid photo to Great, immediately accepted Great.
His forehead shriveled, who was the woman lying sick in this photo.
"He looks like you when seen in person" Willie said.
"Who is he?" muttered Great.
"Bora Kirei" Willie said.
So this is what Willie wants to talk about, he says it's more important than anything to Great. And yes indeed, it even made Great feel burdened.
"Grandfather told me not to tell anyone so don't do anything so I can be safe from grandpa" Willie continued.
Great was still speechless as he continued to observe the photo.
"I felt strange with grandfather because he voluntarily took care of the foreign woman in his residence in secret. Don't you feel weird too,"
"You're right. Papa couldn't have acted without a reason" Great replied.
Great got up, but Willie stopped Great after his first footsteps.
"Not this. You should know what happened a month ago when I found the woman in the picture" Great said.
"We'll go without a driver. Come with me" Willie said as he walked past Great who was still silent on the spot.
Feeling Great entitled to know, Willie took Great to the place where the accident occurred at that time.
"Wait, I've been down this road before" Great said.
"You ever been to the countryside?" ask Willie.
Of course, that night he drove Lalis to his mother's house when he got the news of the accident. He should have been quiet for now. What Willie showed was more important.
"Later to tell me," replied Great.
Willie didn't just tell me where and when he found the woman. He even described as expected how the accident began.
Although he did not see and witness the timing of the investigation, he was convinced by his conjecture.
"Police could not find him because his position was confined to leaves and far from the reach of people. This doesn't seem to be accidental" Willie said.
He pointed out the place where the woman was lying covered in wounds and blood, explaining how the police could not find her, and suspected that this was not just an accident.
"Then how did you find him?" ask Great.
They were willing to go down to the ravine just because they wanted to uncover what actually happened to the woman who was none other than Bora Kirei.
"There are irregularities, although it is difficult for people to reach, but the blood from the body he spreads, with that alone can be used as a clue where the victim is," replied Willie.
Great understood. They're back upstairs.
"The victim will go to the village, that direction towards the countryside. Another awkwardness is, the vehicles here are not as crowded as in the city, right? here is also not spelled out prone, straight road there are no turns other than the intersection in front."
"By the sense that the victim is not an accident, and ... is there a fake officer here?"
Instead of asking Willie, Great suspected that there were fake officers or police to interfere with the case.
"Why were you here then?" ask Great.
"I went down to the field to make sure. It looks like he and I are going to the same place,"
Great did not see any trace of the accident here, probably due to the time he returned to the capital at 3am. Maybe the investigation will continue tomorrow.
"Now act and find out" Willie said.
