Amanda arrives at her magnificent home after her meeting with Franklin. From the outside, the house looks like an ideal place to live, with its charming classical architecture and spacious courtyard. However, behind the beauty, there was a darkness that kept haunting Amanda's mind. Her steps were quick as she headed to the master bedroom upstairs, trying to shake off the anxiety that had suddenly surfaced after her encounter with Franklin.As soon as she entered the room, Amanda shut the door loudly, making the previously quiet room feel tense. The room was spacious, with large windows overlooking the back garden. However, Amanda didn't care about the beautiful view outside. She went straight to the large mirror at the side of the room, staring at her own reflection with a doubt-filled gaze.Franklin's words kept ringing in her mind. "People will be looking for me. They won't keep quiet." That sentence made Amanda uneasy. Although she had planned everything carefully, there was someth
That morning, Vina was sitting at her desk, trying to focus on the lesson at hand. However, her mind kept wandering, worried about Franklin who hadn't come home yet. She had been trying to contact her brother since last night, but there was no answer. The silence from the other end of the phone made Vina even more anxious, but she tried to calm herself down. Maybe Franklin was just busy, she thought, though her gut feeling told her otherwise.Recess arrived, and Vina soon joined her friends in the cafeteria. They talked about the usual things-schoolwork, weekend plans-but Vina wasn't really listening. Her mind kept going to Franklin. She could only hope that when she got home, her brother would already be home.Suddenly, one of her friends, Rina, approached her with a serious expression. "Vina, have you seen the news this morning?" asked Rina in a worried tone.Vina frowned. "What news?" she asked, feeling that something was wrong.Rina took out her cell phone and showed a news story
Clara heard the news of the accident with a broken heart. Her heart seemed to stop, and her hands trembled as she tried to find out more information. The news came so suddenly, it was as if Clara's world came crashing down in an instant. Franklin, the man she loved so much, was rumored to have been in a terrible accident, and she had no idea how to respond.Frantically, Clara put on her jacket and prepared to walk out of the room. However, just as she was about to open the door, Charles, her brother, appeared in the doorway. Charles immediately saw the anxiety on his sister's face and knew that Clara must be going through a difficult time after hearing the news about Franklin."Clara, wait," Charles said in a soft yet firm voice, placing his hands on Clara's shoulders to stop her. "You don't need to rush out now. This news... could be wrong. We don't know for sure what really happened."Clara looked at Charles with teary eyes, her heart filled with anxiety and uncertainty. "But I have
Amelia had just finished reading the news about the accident on her cell phone when her heart suddenly felt heavy. The news said that the car that had crashed was similar to Franklin's, the man her daughter Selena had been trying to match with. Amelia couldn't believe that something as horrible as this had happened to someone so close to her family.With her feelings raging, Amelia rushed to Selena's room. She opened the door and saw her daughter sitting on the edge of the bed, busy with a book in her hands. Selena turned her head as Amelia entered, smiling lightly, but the smile soon disappeared when she saw the serious expression on her mother's face."What's wrong, Mom?" asked Selena, sensing that something was wrong.Amelia took a deep breath before sitting down beside Selena. "Selena, I have something to tell you," she said in a calm but heavy voice. "I just read the news... Franklin was in an accident."Selena was silent for a moment, her face showing disbelief. "What? An accide
When Sarah, Vina, Amelia and Selena arrived at the hospital, the tense and silent atmosphere seemed to press on their souls. Every step they took down the white, sterile hospital hallway felt like it brought them closer to a reality they probably didn't want to face. Sarah's legs felt heavy, as if every step was filled with fear and anxiety. Vina gripped her mother's hand tightly, seeking strength from the touch, while Amelia and Selena walked slightly behind them, ready to provide support whenever needed.They finally arrived in front of a room marked "Identification." One of the hospital attendants, a man in a white coat with a face that showed fatigue from long work, looked at them with a compassionate gaze. "Are you the family of Franklin?" he asked in a voice full of caution.Sarah nodded weakly, unable to make a sound. It was Amelia who answered, "Yes, we are his family."The officer nodded, then slowly opened the door to the room. Inside, it was quieter, colder. In the center o
Clara sat in her chair, her face looking pale and her eyes red from lack of sleep. She couldn't accept the fact that Franklin, the lover she loved so much, was reportedly killed in an accident. Her heart was filled with disbelief. She sensed something was wrong, as if there was something wrong with all of this. Her mind was constantly spinning, looking for clues or signs that could explain what had happened.After hours of contemplation, Clara finally decided to act. She couldn't just sit back and take this news for granted. Determinedly, she summoned some of her trusted men to her office. When they arrived, Clara stood up from her chair and gave them a stern look."We need to investigate what really happened to Franklin," Clara said in a shaky but firm voice. "I don't believe he died in an accident as reported. I want you to find out everything about this incident, including finding out where Franklin was last seen before the accident."Clara's men, knowing how deeply Clara felt abou
When Clara arrived in Bintara village, the quiet and secluded atmosphere of the village only added to the tension she felt. She got out of the car and started walking around, trying to figure out where Franklin could be. She asked some of the locals, showing them a picture of Franklin, but no one recognized the man in the picture. They just shook their heads or gave unsatisfactory answers."Sorry, ma'am. I've never seen this man around here," said a middle-aged man sitting in front of a small stall. Clara nodded slowly, although in her heart she was beginning to feel desperate.Time passed, and the longer Clara stayed in Bintara village, the clearer it became that she would not find the answers she was looking for here. The sun began to set in the western horizon, and Clara finally decided to return to the city. However, her resolve did not waver. She knew that she had to find another way to uncover the truth behind Franklin's disappearance.Back in the city, Clara felt physically and
After hearing from Ronald, Charles was relieved that his plan to keep Clara from further investigation seemed to be working. Ronald, who has long had a crush on Clara, sees this assignment as an opportunity to get closer to the woman he has long admired. Behind these feelings, there is an inner conflict raging within him. Ronald knows that what Charles is asking is not an easy thing, especially since it involves Clara.Meanwhile, Clara, who had just returned from Bintara Village, was still feeling confused. The absence of Franklin's personal chauffeur at her house added to the suspicion that something was very wrong. The driver was known to be loyal and never left his job for no apparent reason. Clara decided to stay calm and come up with a new plan, but her mind kept spinning, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.Ronald, who had been following Clara's progress, decided to contact her. With a caring tone of voice, he tried to approach Clara. "Clara, I heard you were back i
