17. Mysterious

After finishing their meal in the library, Arka and Dara walked out of the library and went to the beach to interview the residents on the coast. Actually Arka wanted to go alone because it was his group's task with Dhian, but Dara kept insisting to come along.

Arka was forced to take Dara with him and now they were in the coastal area, Arka interviewed the residents. Meanwhile, Dara is just sitting on the edge of the sea enjoying the sea breeze and looking up at the twilight sky over the vast ocean.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

After conducting the interview, Arka walked over to Dara and sat beside the girl. While Dara was aware of Arka's existence, she immediately leaned against Arka's chest.

"Ar, don't you know that we haven't heard from each other all this time?"

"Eh?"

"Earlier, your mom called, she thought that all this time I was close to you."

Arka nodded. "You know that mom never cared about me, everything hasn't changed. My biological parents were housemaids, right? You know, Ra."

"Tired of this life...."

"Without you all this time, I've always felt alone. I've never even met my parents, I'm just looking for friends who can cheer me up."

"What about Calvin?"

"Not bad, I like being friends with him. Calvin was my first friend when you left, he always bothered me to join his gang. At first I had to because he was different from you, but in the end I thought that you wouldn't come back and I've enjoyed the closeness I'm with Calvin and the others."

"Dhian?"

"Dhian.. hah... I like to be friends with her, actually it's because I'm curious about her, she's an interesting girl."

"Calvin told me about Dhian, she's an interesting girl. He said her identity can't be known, I'm curious about how she is, especially Felix likes her."

"You know about Mr. Felix?"

Dara nodded. "He's my crush."

Dara stood up as Arka stared in surprise, in Dara's mind, she had to say everything honestly. Even though the girl knew, if her statement could hurt the heart of the man with her at this time.

"Now where? Peak?"

"Hn."

"Come on, wake up, don't be lazy."

"Hn."

.

Skip

.

"You still live here?"

"Hn, you just go right in."

"Okay!"

Criet

"Ma'am Erna!"

Dara exclaimed excitedly, just as Erna was preparing food at the kitchen dining table, the woman immediately ran into the living room when she heard her name being called. While Dara smiled happily while waving her hand.

"Huh? Miss Dara?!"

"Hi, ma'am, long time no see."

"Oh my, Miss, where have you been?"

"Dara doesn't go, still here, just never shows myself hehe...."

"Even though young master Arka often confides that Miss Dara just disappears."

Dara chuckled. "Arka is too much, Ma'am. Oh yes, Dara is hungry, I miss Ma'am cooking~"

"Come on in, Miss, fortunately ma'am is cooking a lot."

Blam

"I'll change first, okay, you go straight to the kitchen."

Arka entered his house and went straight up to the room to change into her uniform, while Dara and Erna went straight to the kitchen for dinner.

"Ma'am, sit here with me until Arka comes down."

"But, Miss-"

"Well, it's okay, ma'am."

Erna ventured to sit next to Dara, while Dara chose to take off Arka's jacket which she had been wearing because of Arka's coercion, who didn't want Dara to catch a cold while on the motorbike.

"How about Aunt Karin?" Dara asked, starting to speak.

"Miss must know how Mrs. Karin has been all this time, Madam doesn't care about Young Master Arka anymore. Poor him, he always hopes to meet Madam but unfortunately Madam never has time for Young Master Arka."

Dara nodded in understanding, she knew very well what Arka's position was all this time, she understood very well how the man could never meet his parents. Luckily, there was a housemaid and a driver who always saw Arka's condition.

"Until when will Aunt Karin just let Arka be? If there is no intention of having children, why do she do it? I hate parents like that the most, Arka also needs love from parents..."

"You meet your parents every day but they are like enemies," said Arka.

"I've never met them."

"Your parents?"

Dara nodded. "I'm still enemies with them and I'm not going to meet them."

"One with us, Ra."

"Yes."

"But you don't want to meet your family," Arka said.

"Actually, my secretary often sees dad's spies who want to stalk me, but they underestimate the power I have."

Dara said while grabbing a small speck from above her ear, making Arka surprised because the man didn't pay attention to the small object stuck to her ear, to be more precise, he couldn't see it because it was too small and because it was covered by hair.

"Put it in your ear."

Arka grabbed a small freckle from Dara's finger and put it to his ear and gasped when he heard a noise that turned out to be Dara's thing. 'The one who tried to hack your data is young master Arka's personal secretary.'

That one sentence made Arka flabbergasted, he didn't understand what he just heard. Arka was sure that the one speaking was Dara's trusted subordinate, but he didn't understand because his name was mentioned.

Arka never asked his personal secretary to find Dara's personal data because Arka must have known everything, then why did his secretary find out Dara's personal data.

Not understanding the current situation, Arka doesn't know for sure whether Dara's personal secretary is lying or if she really wants to do it herself without any direct orders from him.

"Miss, Young Master Calvin is meeting his trusted subordinates, they are making plans for a girl named Dhian."

Again, Arka was confused by the report just now, what did Dara do to make her secretary able to provide information in an instant. Just now talking about Arka's secretary, now he has directly discussed Calvin.

A lot has changed from Dara that Arka doesn't know about, about how Dara's secretary works and the tools she uses. Maybe this is what Dara has been doing all this time, as long as the girl is invisible and disappears as if swallowed by the earth.

Arka knows that Dara must not go to school because her father will definitely make the school immediately expel Dara for unknown reasons, but even so, Dara's knowledge development has increased so far above it.

Even things like this maybe his own personal secretary can't know who Dara's secretary is and whether he is being followed by someone, Arka feels that he can't match Dara for now.

"Arka," called Dara.

"Hn?"

"Is something bothering you?"

Arka nodded, apparently Dara realized him confusion and maybe the girl would explain the things that were stuck in his heart.

"Want to know something?"
