“Have you gone?” Lia muttered to herself when she didn't hear fighting anymore. After Salsa's words, both became silent. Even when Lia looked to check if they were around, she couldn't find them all. With a frown and a sigh, Lia finally focused on her work. 
“You!” shouted someone from behind him. The sound that was so surprising made Lia jump. “You've been eavesdropping on my conversation, right?”
Lia now raised her head to meet the gaze of a woman, none other than Marsha. The wrinkles on his forehead showed that he didn't like it, coupled with a sharp look that didn't bother Lia at all. For a few moments, the two women were silent without saying anything before finally a snort came out of Lia. Obviously, this made Marsha confused and even more annoyed. Just seeing Lia's face made him annoyed again. 
“If so, why? After all, why are you looking for trouble in a public place? So, I have to cut my ears, so I can't hear what you're talking about?” challenged Lia who had now risen from her seat. Marsha, who saw Lia like that, pursed her lips. Just from looking at Lia, he already knew that this woman was a problem, like Salsa. 
“Just so you know, yes, I am entitled to speak in public places!”
Lia snorted again, not letting Marsha continue what she said. "Then I also have the right to hear. If you want to make trouble, don't look for trouble here. Your actions are the same as disturbing other customers, including me! If I like, I can call the manager here and have you kicked out.”
“Manager? Try not to call. Do you think you can get rid of me that easily?” A chuckle escaped Marsha's lips. Just by seeing this response, Lia really understood the position. Surely, Marsha had something to do with the place where she ate, even so, she also didn't want to lose an argument with a woman like this. 
"So? What if you have connections with the people here? The customer is king, the customer must be obeyed. I'm not the only one who's bothered by how noisy you are, but there are a lot of them. I think, then who will be listened to, huh?”
Lia gave a smile that showed that she was challenging Marsha. Again, that kind of smile managed to silence Marsha. His tongue felt numb while his hands clenched at his sides. What should he do to win against Lia? What should he say to silence Lia? All those questions revolved in Marsha's head, but she couldn't think of anything except the desire to bring Lia down. 
Marsha's silence made Lia smile even wider, it was clear that she was pleased because she had won against that woman. With one push on Marsha's shoulder, Lia immediately looked around, checking if this was the right time, before she approached Marsha. When Marsha's ear was right next to Lia's lips, then she whispered words that made Marsha's whole body feel goosebumps. It felt like, apart from Leo, he had never been in a position like this. It feels weird and scary at the same time. 
“As long as you know, the person you slapped is my best friend; I'm not going to sit idly by watching my friend hurt you,” Lia whispered with emphasis, pulling Marsha's hand which was clenched into a fist before squeezing his wrist tightly. "How? Do you want it done here, or do you want to find a quieter place?”
“W-we're moving,” stammered Marsha, who looked confused. With a smile that looked so big, finally Lia packed up her things and left that place, grabbed Marsha's neck and took her outside. 
"A good choice. Again… I haven't forgiven you at all for splashing hot water on my hands.” Lia shook her head, she felt really annoyed when she remembered that day again. 
When the two of them were in a quieter place, there weren't many people passing by or looking. Each of them decided to keep their distance. Obviously, this made Marsha feel relieved. When Lia's hand was on his shoulder, he felt that his life would end right then and there. Luckily , nothing like that happened. With a slow sigh, he looked at Lia with a murderous look, like someone who wants to say not to mess with her. It was clear he felt proud for casting that look. 
Unfortunately, Lia, who was stared at like that, returned an even sharper gaze, like a sword that was drawn to split the enemy in just one try. Marsha, who at first felt happy and proud, now lowered her head again, feeling ashamed of herself. Maybe it was better for him not to try at all, he would only embarrass himself. With a sense of pride, Lia finally raised her chin, challenging Marsha, who was like a frightened lion cub. 
“What explanation do you have about Salsa? It's okay for you to slap him like that.”
“He deserves a slap like that! He's the one who's causing trouble…,” started Marsha, who was then cut off by Lia, it seemed that the woman was not at all satisfied with the answers given even though it was still just the beginning. 
“Did I say you can give crap? Do you help people…? I think my ears are damaged. Aren't you the one who suddenly came to help him, let him fall into your trap? Tell me, what do you want from Salsa!” Of course, Marsha kept her mouth shut, she could never say what was on her mind. That the woman in front of him is the next target to make Aini alone and lonely. 
“If you're smart, you should already know, right? If so, why are you asking me? You should have asked your friend Salsa. What do you think he'll do next?”
A smile reappeared on Lia's lips before she walked closer to Marsha. The hatred inside him was unstoppable. "I believe in Salsa, the person I can't trust is you. As long as you know, yes. Your face just makes me disgusted! Your fake smile that looks down on others.”
“If you trust your friend that much, that means you don't have to be afraid of anything, right?” Now Marsha can regain her confidence. 
“Hah?” Lia, who was confused, was shocked when Marsha walked up to her, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, she kept walking to corner Lia. At first, Lia was not affected, but at last she had no choice. 
"If you trust your friend Salsa that much, you shouldn't have to do things like this. But in fact, what you do is different from reality. With you trying to get close to me… doesn't that mean you don't trust Salsa that much? Because you don't even know what Salsa is going to do, that's why you attacked me. Sweet, if you want to plan something like that, think about it first, OK?”
“Who said that, I….” Lia had not finished speaking, now Marsha had pushed Lia hard until she fell on her face before walking away. 
“We'll see who will win, Aini's friend.” With a sly smile, Marsha left Lia who was still on the floor.
