Chapter 003

The calm atmosphere surrounded by the dim light of the moon with several trees blocking it made Fara let out a small sigh. Right now, she intended to meet Bryan with all the full confidence she had.

She wanted to reveal everything, didn't want to make the man a burden on her own problems. Also, Fara has thought carefully that the opinion she will decide at this time is the best for herself and Bryan.

A few minutes ago, she had received several questions that made her ears feel hot to the point that Fara felt like throwing up her entire stomach in front of her cousin.

Maybe she should be a little grateful that Harry didn't reveal it anywhere so he himself intervened to investigate the woman. However, why should Fara be grateful for the accusations that ensnared her?

"Remember Fara, having a family relationship doesn't mean you can help in a situation like this. So you better be honest with me so you don't bring in a stranger to take my place." The words that came back felt like slapping his cheeks. Fara wanted to remove the clear liquid again, remembering her mother who might have been waiting for her at home at this time. Wondering to herself that would the father up there be disappointed in her?

"You or them both, both intend to frame me for something I didn't do at all." She's whisper was sharp, as if he had just rubbed a sharp sword against a cloth that tears easily.

BRAK!

The wooden table that was a barrier between them was slapped by Harry just like that. Making Fara close her eyes for a moment, about a few seconds she opened her eyelids and found a face full of emotions clearly printed on Harry's face.

The man was clearly annoyed, especially Fara, who according to him was stubborn and couldn't work with him to lighten his work. At least the girl should feel grateful for being given leniency. Because, this case doesn't really belong to Harry. But he pleaded with his commander to intervene with the case as a speaker.

"Don't be stubborn, Fara! Whether you live in a house or behind bars makes no difference to your life! You better answer my question honestly, you killed that woman!" The jerk was strong, bringing out the veins in the neck so that his arms were stretched out.

There, Fara seemed to have felt an arrow stabbed into her heart after listening to what her cousin was saying from his mouth. Maybe it's true that prison is more suitable to live in than her house, the hut that can't be relied on to protect herself from the rain or the sun is Harry's main target to silence Fara.

"You have no right to judge my mother's house. At least we're not like your inheritance-crazed father and cheated on my mother!"

"Don't bring up my father, Fara! You only need to answer my questions here." He growled in a slightly suppressed voice so that it wouldn't be so loud in the ears of both of them.

"Why? Are you embarrassed now? If that's the case, you should also be ashamed for trying to convict an innocent person for the accusation.

"You—killed her. And you can't escape that fact, Fara. You'll be behind bars for your own fault."

BRAK!!

This time, Fara got up from her seat and then raided the wooden table. Throwing a sharp and piercing gaze at the man in front of her, then Fara took a pair of legs from there before Harry's voice stopped her.

"Don't you dare step foot through that door, or you'll get a more severe punishment, Fara."

Success, her steps stopped along with a bitter smile printed on her face. Slowly, she turned around and found Harry walking slowly towards her with his arms crossed over his chest.

"You and them—as enemies to me. I'm alone, no one is on my side. That way, I can't fight if the whole world is already judging

Let me meet with Bryan, at least I will break our relationship, I don't want him to get involved if you really stand by your stand that wants me to stay behind bars."

A little silence fell on them. Letting the two sharp gazes that clash with each other become the main object that dominates from both of them. Until slowly, Harry's gaze softened, though he later raised an eyebrow, as if he couldn't believe the girl's words.

"You can come along or even tie my hands if you don't believe me. But, I guess that would look ridiculous, Bryan would see me as the saddest person because of you. You better monitor me, pretend I'm your pet dog that can't fight."

"Sounds like a request, but I was expecting an offer from you."

"I know you, Harry. You can never keep up with someone's offer."

Fera took a deep breath, letting the night breeze blow right in front of her face. Remembering how she and Harry had argued a few minutes ago. The man was sitting leaning against the small cafe across the street. Allowing Fara to have her own time with her lover as she said.

"Honey," a voice that was so familiar greeted her ears, for a moment her expression turned tense, but after that she let out a small breath while reviewing a faint smile that stretched the corners of her lips. "Have you been waiting long?" She found how the man was hugging a doll with a size that was able to make him hide behind it. A flower that also complements the gift box as a companion.

It's a shame, the night that she might have thought was such a perfect night for the man, was actually the opposite of what Fara was about to say.

"I've only been waiting for about a few minutes, no problem." She said with a smile that she forced a little to appear.

"I brought this for you. Sorry if you might be embarrassed, but I'll take you around with this doll in the car, we'll be driving around the streets until late." His wide smile made Fara feel the throbbing pain in her heart felt so real. Until it felt like she wanted to move her hands to touch hee chest.

It just floated in the air with Bryan's hand as a support. Sticking it out in front of Fara while waiting for the instructions the girl would give.

"Sorry, but I don't think I deserve it."

A pair of eyebrows dipped for a few seconds. After that, he let out a chuckle before placing the object under the grass-lined ground. As soon as possible embrace the girl's body with his embrace that always feels warm.

But not tonight, Fara felt stupid to the point where everything she saw or felt turned gray.

"You must have prepared a surprise for me, right? That's why you intend to make a fool of me."

He grabbed a small hand that rubbed against her chest. "I think we should end."
