Lia had a little trouble controlling her expression when she came home. He took a deep breath, not knowing what to do when he was at the door. The feeling of knowing this truth made his chest feel tight. Aini will be harmed? How is he going to harm her? Just imagining the various ways in her head made Lia's body shiver. Another sigh came out when suddenly the door opened wide. There you can see Aini holding a plastic trash. Clearly contains a variety of groceries. Because she still didn't buy enough ingredients for cooking, Lia was forced to buy Aini food. That's why Lia actually felt a little guilty. When the two stared at each other, a surprised expression appeared before a smile started to form on each lip. Just by exchanging glances, Lia already understood that Aini was asking her to go out together. That's why now they are both carrying a plastic garbage bag. “How is today?” Aini asked Lia. “A little tired, but well, what can I do? At least the report is finished. You yourself, how?” Aini also smiled broadly, as if she wanted to say that she also did the same thing. “Oh, I'll read yours later, okay? You can also read mine, so we can both know.” Aini gave a nod. “Today… he's waiting again?” Aini's hesitant question made Lia confused. He raised his head to look at Aini, saw her fiddling with her two fingers while Lia put the trash in the right place. “He means… my father.” Knowing that Hendramo was meant, Lia finally nodded her head. "Just come, wait a while. But not long after he left. Why? You… want to meet him?” Now, at few Aini is silent. Those who had finished the work were silent for a few moments, Lia was waiting for Aini, while Aini seemed to be thinking. After feeling enough, finally Aini raised her head and smiled a smile, it was seen from her face that she felt something different from what she was expressing. In fact, his words were also the opposite of his true wish. “No, there's no need. I would rather not see you for a while. Until I enter another internship, I will not go home. You're okay, right?” "No problem, man! I'm actually happy because I have friends. Come on, come on in. It's cold in here.” Lia argued that she knew that Aini wanted to make sure whether her father was okay or not. Even though he is treated badly by other people, he still tries to be kind to that person, something that Lia cannot understand. “Oh yeah, tomorrow you go to campus, right? If it's morning, I'll come too, okay?” “Isn't the afternoon class?” Lia just gave a small smirk. “Want to have lunch together?” “Hm, when it's finished, I'll contact you, OK?” Aini just nodded before they went inside. Actually, Lia's going to campus is not without reason. He wants to meet Salsa. What Marsha said yesterday was true. If he was Salsa's best friend, he should also trust her more. However, to believe it, he had to listen to the whole story and how Leo had ordered him to do this and that. Hence, she had worked out a schedule with Arjuna, hoping to get a response from the boy. When Lia and Arjuna were waiting in the room, Salsa came inside and looked at Arjuna in surprise. He had no idea that the boy would listen too. He only heard that Lia borrowed Arjuna's room because it was safer. However, knowing that she didn't have a position to ask or command, Salsa finally decided to sit across from Lia and lowered her head, unable to look at those people. “Don't want to tell the problem right away?” Lia started with a sharp and heavy tone. "I won't bother you, but I am entitled to hear all of this because Leo has also often caused chaos on campus. If he did threaten you…” “No!” exclaimed Salsa. Her expression showed panic and when she looked up, her left cheek was slightly bruised, clearly a slap from Marsha. “This is all my fault, so I beg you not to involve the campus. It's enough that Aini has been tormented by the problems, I would rather not add to that burden anymore.” Salsa swallowed her saliva hard before lowering her head again. “Does it hurt?” Lia's voice that suddenly became soft surprised the two people in the room. They stared at Lia in disbelief. “Your cheek, was slapped by Marsha, right? Sick? Do you need some ointment?” Salsa immediately shook her head, it felt strange that she was being cared for by someone she insulted a few weeks ago. Hence, he decided to change the subject at hand, “I'll tell you everything. And just about anything Leo said I should do all along. There will be no more notes that I cover up.” “Take it slow, our day is still long, so you don't need to worry,” said Arjuna, who nodded his head to Salsa. Because of that, finally Salsa started telling her story which was more or less the same as what she said to Lia two days ago. However, this time he explained everything in more detail so that Arjuna would understand what was really going on. In fact, Salsa also said speculation about the possibility of Leo's next action if he really wanted to hurt Aini. Instantly, Lia felt curious. If Aini really gets hurt, will Hendramo stay silent? The possibility that was in Lia's head caught her attention, so she daydreamed. When Arjuna called his name repeatedly, then he realized the situation. After a brief apology, they finally returned to discussing the problems they had to face. At least, they have to stay by Aini's side if they want to stop Leo's crazy actions. However, who could do such a thing? “Aini will return to her house.” Lia's expression suddenly shocked everyone. “He said, after he returned to do his apprenticeship, he would return home. He doesn't care if Niar will punish him later. Rather, he felt that she would not care.” “Haven't they gone mad?!” Salsa serum that does not accept. Arjuna himself could only take a deep breath. "So, in essence, our speculation about Leo's actions has been confirmed. Now we just need to find a way to pay attention to Aini. With his return home, we can't monitor him continuously, right?” Lia nodded her head. However, at that moment, Salsa raised her hand high. “I can! I can do it.” One eyebrow of Arjuna and also Lia rose, as if wanting to ask what that meant. "I can spy on Aini, didn't I say that Leo wanted me to stay away from Lia and Aini? Therefore, there must be a way that requires me to insult Aini when alone. With that, I can use it to tail Aini.” “But, while at the office…?” "There's Dave, right? Because Aini works as his secretary, it is certain that Aini must be near him all the time.” An incredulous nod was given by Arjuna. He is now very satisfied. “Then, everything is clear, right? We have to operate it immediately. Before Leo really lost his mind and hurt Aini. We can definitely stop this!” Lia and Salsa cheered a little to answer Arjuna's words, feeling happy because they found a way to help Aini even though it was only a small effort.

Ai ni and Salsa nodding together indicate that they don't believe it or actually don't know for sure because it hasn't been seen by their own eyes so everything feels uncertain but
