Lia was silent for a few moments, she tried to understand what Salsa said. What does it mean if he knows something about Leo's activities with Aini? Was that why Leo had been telling him what was going to happen all along? That way, shouldn't they be able to do something to stop Leo from hurting Aini? With that in her mind, Lia squinted at Salsa to dig deeper from her. Unfortunately, the woman could only lower her head because she felt very guilty. 
"Then, with you telling me this, what do you want? You're going to leak all the things Leo and I will do to us, so we can stop him?”
Sasha shook her head weakly. “After one last job, he said… I could be released, but I didn't believe it. I'm also certain that he won't tell me anything else because I want to let him go.”
“So, what do you mean? Why are you telling me all this now? Let me sympathize with you? Or what?!” Lia can feel herself feeling frustrated, annoyed and also angry. He really couldn't stop thinking about what Salsa said. Did he now want to ask her for help? Or did he want to ask himself to stop Leo's evil actions? Leah didn't understand at all. 
“I mean….” Salsa lowered her head, she doubted what she should say to Lia, afraid that it would only make her angry even more. He felt that he had just made a mistake. What should he do now? Lia must really hate him. “I mean… I want you to take care of Aini.”
“You don't need to say that, I already know,” cut Lia curtly. He was again preparing to leave Salsa, feeling that their conversation ended there. However, the woman immediately stopped him for the umpteenth time. “What now? I'm not busy like you, I have someone waiting for me, not like you!”
"Please, first listen to what I say,” said Salsa. Unfortunately, this time, Lia didn't waste any time listening to someone who used to be her best friend. “Lia?”
“Don't call my name. Just thinking about it makes me disgusted. I'm leaving. I'm sorry I wasted my time talking to you.”
With those words, Lia finally walked away, leaving Salsa, who was silent. He didn't know how else to react to this incident. Indeed, all this happened because of his fault. Everything that exists is because of his fault. Thus, it was only fitting for him to get his punishment. This time he will try to accept the path that lies before him and also what he will have to face from now on. That Lia and Aini will never come back to him. 
While Lia herself left, not without reason. He felt burdened by what Salsa said. It wasn't that he didn't believe it, it was just that he felt that he needed some time to calm his mind. Again, this problem is not only about him, but Aini who is his main focus. Before he acts on Salsa's words, at least he has to listen to what Aini wants to say. 
When Lia had walked far enough, finally Lia could see Aini who was waiting for her. A wide smile appeared on Aini's lips, but it was clear that she was tired. On the one hand, Lia felt sure that Hendramo would try again to take Aini from her house. With a long sigh, finally Lia approached Aini and greeted her with a big smile, hoping that by doing so her best friend would not suspect her. 
“What did it take so long? Where are you from?” asked Aini still giving him a smile. 
“Ah that,” said Lia who then scratched her nape awkwardly. He averted his eyes because he felt a little afraid that Aini would find out. In that silence, Lia suddenly remembered the expression on Salsa's face before she left. “Aini, I'll go first, okay? Just wait in the canteen, I'll catch up later!”
“Eh? Lia? Why? Tell me why first before leaving!” exclaimed Aini who felt confused because of the sudden change in attitude from Lia. However, even though she called out like that, the woman present didn't turn around at all and kept running back to face Salsa. 
“Sa! Sa!” called Lia who tried to look around. 
Leah's heart was beating fast. He felt a little afraid that he had made a mistake. What if Salsa is speaking the truth and because of him, she decides to remain silent forever? Thinking like that managed to scare Lia so she tried hard to find Salsa. If there's a problem, if he loses the opportunity to find out about the problem in Salsa, of course he won't be able to look at Aini later. He will feel ashamed and feel guilty. 
“Lia?” Salsa's soft voice sitting in the garden surprised Lia. He immediately shifted his gaze to look at the person who had called his name. Without saying anything, Lia immediately pulled Salsa's wrist roughly, not caring if it would leave a mark later. The victim was just silent, he felt he deserved this kind of treatment. 
“Tell me everything. Why did you get attracted to Leo, why did you get involved with Leo.” Lia's curt tone when they were in a quiet place didn't surprise Salsa. He still lowered his head in embarrassment to himself. “Quickly say! I don't have time to indulge your spoiled nature!”
“I made a mistake at the internship,” said Salsa. He gave a bitter smile when he looked at Lia. "I made a mistake and was threatened by them, but Leo, who happened to be their sponsor, saw me and knew that I was Aini's friend. From there he… he was the one who said if I obeyed him, all my problems would be solved in no time.”
“And you trust him?” For Lia, this was the first time hearing that Salsa was in trouble. How much trouble did he have to deal with now? Why didn't he ever tell? “Why don't you ever tell us if you have a problem?”
“Because I know that you and Aini are thinking a lot about her father's problems. So, I think all of this will be over. Until suddenly Leo came and immediately solved all the problems. As payment….” Salsa was silent again before swallowing hard her saliva. He looked at Lia with a sad look, as if feeling sick and very lonely. “I can't afford to add to the burden on you two, but instead… I think I'm actually a burden now, right?”
“Evil,” said Lia. Now his face is full of emotions, between anger, frustration, and also sad. "You're mean, Sam! You are mean to us.” Salsa, who heard that, could only nod her head. 
“Yeah, you're right, Lia. I'm bad with you. I'm selfish and never think more. Not only that, but I shouldn't be this weak in front of Leo. Because of that, Lia. I have a request. Whatever happens in the future, I beg you not to leave Aini, okay? Because that's my last mission, to separate you from Aini.”
