Chapter 008

"Sorry for the mistake I made, captain. I deserve to be punished."

Harry was forced to hold back the strong moans that rumbled through his chest, even though he had to take responsibility for the mistake he had accidentally committed by losing track of Fara.

The five-headed man in front of him could only let out a long breath while massaging the bridge of his nose. Harry was really trying to get that trust from his boss back.

"I've known you for almost six years, you are doing very well for this team. However, why did you have to make such a fatal mistake?"

The man lowered his head again before daring to look up at his superior's full of disappointment. "I'm sorry, captain. I was in the wrong here."

"You are disqualified from this investigation team. Please find a new partner of your own who may need members for their investigation." The half century old man had finally decided on the punishment he would give Harry.

"But captain, it was an unintentional mistake. Please think again, Harry is a good member of this investigation team." Harry's comrade was a little pitiful, hoping that his best friend would find it easy to do this.

"After all, he's the reason we lost that woman. Don't use empathy here, it wasn't a written agreement on paper from the start."

There was nothing Harry could do but follow his captain's orders. Well, even though he had to lose his team. According to him, it was commensurate with what he did.

"Captain-"

"No problem, Jay. Don't try too hard for me. Captain's right, don't use empathy here." Harry restrained Jay who was about to go far to ask his superior's favor back. Of course he didn't want to part with his best friend.

"Are you going to go along with it? You have to change teams just because of that? That's too much." It seems Jay still can't accept that decision.

"Relax, I'm just changing teams, not quitting my job. You'd better pray for me to find a new investigation team sooner." Harry's faint smile made Jay could only let out a rough breath.

"You even changed teams from the start because you wanted to take care of this investigation. Why are you giving up now?"

"Well, it was at first, because something required me to, but I thought that something was gone."

"I really don't understand your way of thinking."

From the start when she heard Yasa's jolt saying that his mother had disappeared because of someone, Fara's feelings were already unsettled. She was afraid of her own thoughts. What if the woman the man mentioned was the same woman by the accusations against her?

And, yes, the answer is correct. What's worse, the man didn't want to let her go because he thought Fara would do something silly again. Instead of fighting mouths for too long, Yasa, who was afflicted with misfortune, preferred to tell Fara the bad things that had happened to him.

Of course he also felt a little surprised by the surprised expression that Fara showed several times, the girl even swallowed her saliva hard when Yasa said things that really scared her ears.

"Better let me out of here, I really won't do anything like that again. Besides, I still have a lot to take care of out there."

Maybe Fara had wasted a lot of saliva. She kept repeating the same sentence over and over again and hoped to get the green light from a foreign man who now shared the same roof with her.

In fact, she herself did not really know that Yasa was still standing in front of the bedroom door or not. It was so sad for Fara, what difference did it make to run away from home to escape bad luck? Now he had to enter the tiger's cage by accident.

"Oh, my God. Do you really intend to end my life here?" Her mouth mumbled a little with her head tilted to the ceiling. She didn't feel like she deserved to be in such a luxurious room, she didn't even feel comfortable touching the surface of the soft mattress in the corner there.

Before long, the door to the room finally opened, revealing Yasa's presence with a bowl of cereal and a glass of water in his hand. Throwing a cold stare at the girl who stood frozen in front of him, Yasa then stepped his legs to put what he was carrying on the nightstand.

"My fridge is empty, I don't have any ingredients to cook. Eat the cereal first, I'll buy some ingredients and tools you'll need."

"Wait a minute," Yasa paused, "please let me out of here, I won't do that kind of thing again."

"Stop begging like that, I'm not a gullible man. You think I'd be willing the police to investigate your corpse and end up dragging me down because I'm the last person you've ever been with?"

"So you were only worried about yourself all this time?"

Yasa rolled his eyes in disgust, he couldn't think straight now, especially if he had to explain to a girl who was never satisfied with his answer.

"Yes, then?"

"Well, if that's the case, let me go, you will be free from the burden like me." Fara tried to come back to convince.

"Back to the previous explanation, I hope you understand and don't ask again." He intends to move his legs to continue the steps that were delayed.

"Then, what about my education. I have to go back and sort things out. Why should a foreigner like you interfere."

"Okay, where do you go to school?" Yasa prefers to take a step back, a little closer to his position than Fara.

"I-I don't intend to go to school there anymore, I-I-"

"I see, you seem to be the victim of bullying at your school. I'll take care of your transfer. Don't worry about the cost, you can pay me back later."

"But-" the sentence that Fara was about to finish had stuck in her throat when she found a thick soot from Yasa who glared at her seriously. She swallowed her own saliva.

"Damn." Fara thought annoyed.

-

To be honest, Yasa had never done anything like this before. Helping strangers even so far, but when he remembers his late mother, he suddenly feels like he's out of control.

He wanted to forget the incident for a moment, he wanted to focus on the mother's case, hopefully he got the news he was hoping for today. Then, wearing a hoodie hood that he had left hanging on his shoulder while in the car, Yasa stepped into the big house that he had left for a day.

Seen a police car parked in his yard, according to his suspicions, of course the authorities will come today to convey information. That's why he came back, what else is it for? To meet his sister and share his sorrow? Impossible.

The longer the steps he took, the clearer the voice of the conversation between his sister and the investigation team became. Yasa commented with a wry smile, could it be that his sister was playing a role as if he felt lost in there? However, it turned out that what he suspected was wrong.

"If it is going to be very difficult to find, I ask that this case be stopped."
