"How did you know their bodies were there?" Lucas asked for the umpteenth time, and for the umpteenth time again, Aslan shook his head."I don't know, let's just say something whispered to me, that something was wrong in that place. I happened to be on the cotton road, and... well, it happened." Aslan replied.Of course, Aslan's words didn't satisfy Lucas or the policeman that helping them, but they couldn't force Aslan if he didn't know anything."No problem, we will immediately check the cctv from the house there, fortunately they have cctv for their garden." said the police.Indeed, no one dared to occupy around the landfill, there was only one house that had a large aeroponic garden. It was not too close to the dump, but anyone would pass by the house to go to the dump."Can we trust you guys with this case?" Aslan asked, sounding very distrustful of the police officers. But no matter what, during Aslan's time at the orphanage, he'd often come across cops who were easily bribed wi
"What should we talk about first?" asked Aslan in a soft tone, actually he was also a little nervous because he was afraid of Dave's reaction if he found out that his parents were gone.However, without a hint of guilt, Lucas' next words left Aslan scratching his head."Let's talk about what if we adopt Dave, mom would love it.""Wait a minute, we have to say first if -""I already told Dave about his parents while you were in the shower, didn't I Dave?"Aslan looked down at Dave who was just smiling slightly, the smile looked so sad, even his eyes looked teary but Lucas didn't notice at all."Lucas! You should have said it right!" Aslan said, glaring at Lucas who was casually snacking on fried chicken."I said it right, we had to because -""Enough, Lucas! Stop talking, Dave is still a child, don't equate him with you who is an adult, his feelings are much more sensitive."Aslan inwardly cursed his brother's rigid and ignorant attitude, how could he not be careful in talking to a chi
Debby pulled Aslan's arm to get into her room, then closed the door tightly.Aslan waited silently for an explanation from Debby, but until Aslan had been sitting on the pink sofa for a minute, Debby hadn't explained and was just pacing."Ehem!" Finally Aslan cleared his throat because he was impatient with Debby's explanation, he even pulled the girl's arm to sit with him. But because Debby lost her balance, she fell into Aslan's lap.The girl's face turned red with embarrassment, then she lowered her head, not wanting to look at Aslan who was grinning.Aslan pulled Debby's waist closer to him, and also to keep her from running away."Now, can you explain how you found out about Ashley's father?"Debby who couldn't run away had no choice but to answer honestly."Actually I used to take piano lessons and from there I got to know Ashley, she always looked down on me and could never accept when I was better at playing piano than her, she always brought up my fat body to beat me. That's
The car sounded just as Aslan finished cooking."Looks like my dad's coming," Debby chuckled."Let me prepare the dinner, you can greet him and ask if he's eaten or not," Aslan said.Debby nodded and went to meet her father.Debby's family was an example of a harmonious family that loved each other. Debby's father, Mr. Harland, is a father who loves his family. He would prioritize his wife and children over anything else, even if his brother and wife were in trouble at the same time, Mr. Harland would save his wife first.Aslan used to not want to go to Debby's house even though he had been invited several times, it was because he didn't want to be jealous of the harmonious, wealthy family. But now it was all right because Aslan had his own family, although not complete, but it was more than enough.Mr. Harland joined Aslan and Debby for dinner. Aslan didn't know why, but he felt both embarrassed and proud when his cooking was complimented by Debby's father. Aslan hadn't expected Debb
Aslan was surprised to see that Dave was fine after coming home from the hospital. Dave was quiet and looked calm, like nothing had happened. However, because of this, Aslan became very worried about the boy.So Aslan came to Dave's room, went in and sat on the edge of the bed, watching Dave who was busy with his textbooks."Are you okay?" Aslan asked.Dave looked over, smiled a little, then nodded slowly, "I'm fine, you can see for yourself, I'm fine, what about you, didn't you go to make up with Debby?""Debby and I are fine, I cooked for her and her father, then her father told me about the Maja district, I really want to go there, maybe after the exam is over, do you want to come with me?"Dave stopped putting his books away and sat on the chair in front of the study table, facing Aslan."When you're done with exams and vacation, isn't it my turn for the exam? I thought you were supposed to be preparing for college."Aslan sighed heavily, "I'm not ready for college, to be honest..
"You what?"Aslan didn't understand why Lucas was so surprised when Aslan said he owned 15% of Samudra Hotel, which meant it was normal to buy shares, even though Aslan had gotten them from the system."Why, what's wrong?" Aslan asked confused.They were having breakfast before Aslan went to school, there was only Lucas and Aslan at the table. Aslan said that Dave had a fever last night, so Sarah was taking care of him now, even though Dave had claimed that he was getting better. But Sarah insisted that Dave just rest in his room, of course Dave couldn't argue."Do you know that Marlo is trying hard to get control of the hotel, I know he has about 10% of the shares, and even then he got it hard but you suddenly got 15% of the shares? How could I not be surprised?"Aslan nodded after listening to Lucas' explanation, "So that's it? Then, do you have shares there too? I think it's a good hotel."Lucas shook his head, "I don't want to interfere in Marlo's business.""So if he has shares i
When Aslan, Devon and Debby arrived at the origin of the loud screams, there were already a number of curious students gathered around. The place was the girls' restroom on the first floor, because of that only Debby could check what happened.In the toilet, there was a frightened Chloe, she was one of Nadine's close friends who had been questioned by Aslan and Debby about Nadine's whereabouts.Then Chloe pointed to one of the toilet cubicles that was slightly open. Although afraid, Debby ventured to open the toilet door.After the door opened, Debby covered her mouth with one hand, not wanting to scream like Chloe.Inside the toilet cubicle, there was Nadine, she was sitting limply in the closet, with blood splattered, pooling on the toilet floor.Debby tried to stay calm and not panic, that way she knew what she had to do.Then came one student who used to be a member of the student council, because she was in third grade and now there was a change of student council, so she was no
Nadine had come to her senses when Devon asked if they should report her asshole brother and make him pay for what he had done. And the first word Nadine could scream was, "no!"Of course they turned around in surprise at Nadine's weak cry.Chloe stood up and walked over to Nadine and hugged her, "Why don't you put him in jail? he deserves it!" Chloe said.Nadine shook her head firmly, "no, please don't... if you report it, everyone will know what really happened to me, and I don't want to bear the shame. My reputation will also become bad, even though I've been accepted for a modeling audition, several modeling agencies have also contacted me. Now that my fetus is gone, I can move on with my life and be careful in the future. So please, just let it go so I can live in peace. To Aslan and Debby, I'm sorry for troubling you so much, I guess I just wanted to be noticed, so I acted badly. I -"Nadine couldn't continue because she was exhausted and her breathing became heavy."It's okay,
