Chapter 5: Chapter 5
"Honey, don't forget to take medicine, yes! I have prepared it on the table of the room," Sofia said after finishing her breakfast. The woman placed a spoon on a plate, one hand rubbed the corner of her lips with a tissue on the dinner table.
"Yes, you're calm!" replied Nico.
"Bibik!" called Sofia. The woman got up from the dining table when she saw Bibik walking closer towards the dining table.
"Please, later help Mr. Nico to take his medicine. Bibik understood, right?" said Sofia rolling her eyes at Bibik as if giving a code.
"Good Mrs. Sofia!" replied Bibik a gentle nod.
Sofia grabbed Nico's hand. Then a soft kiss on the back of the man's hand. "Honey, I left first!" she said. Nico's nod ushered Sofia's departure towards the exit.
The man in the casual clothes was still sitting on the dining table bench. Feed the pieces of chocolate-coated bread that he had cut into small sizes into his mouth.
Bibik came to the dinner table, while she noticed Nico's face. The woman thought, Nico was not looking at it, but in reality, Nico kept an eye on the maid's movements.
"It's not time, Bik! Just wait!" said Nico in silence.
"Sir, this morning I have to go to the market. All the needs of the house have been exhausted," said Bibik who was cleaning the plates on the dining table.
"Later if Mr. Nico needs anything, you can ask Rachel for help."
"Yes Bik, go!" replied Nico with a straightforward look. Although occasionally the tail of his eyes glanced at Bibik.

Nico grabbed the capsule grain that was on top of the nightstand. The man threw the drugs in the trash.
"Do you think I didn't know all along that you lied to me, asshole? You guys keep giving me drugs that actually worsen my vision," Nico said. He read drug tablets that did not support his recovery at all.
Nico grabbed the phone that was in his pants pocket. Gently on the phone screen and then make a call on one of the contacts stored on the phone.
"Hello, Hana!" greeted Nico to the secretary of the office.
"Hello, Mr. Nico," replied the woman's voice from behind the phone. "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?" Hana's voice sounded nervous.
"Hana, please check all my company's assets and all my other assets. If you have, please send it by email to me," Nico said.
"But sir!" replied Hana in a trembling voice.
"You have nothing to fear, don't you work with me so you know who you have to serve!"
The man rushed towards the desk that was in the corner of his room. He turned on a laptop that had not been touched for a long time.
The phone on the table rang. A message from Hana came on the phone screen.
"I've sent you all the data, sir!" the message from Hana read.
Rushed Nico logs in to his email address after his laptop was ready to be operated. A few moments after waiting, Hana's email appeared on the screen. A split second Nico checks the data Hana gave him.
"Damn it! Why are my only assets just this? Where is Vilaku in Bandung. Where's my five-star restaurant, where the small businesses I open in some places. Why aren't there any reports here!" Nico grumbled, he had already rolled the cursor on the laptop screen from top to bottom. However, there is still no data on some companies and businesses that he has built.
Nico's face inflamed he immediately grabbed his phone and contacted Hana back.
"Hana, where's my villa in Bandung, my five-star restaurant, the boutique business I have, why isn't it here, Hana?" said Nico angrily.
"I'm sorry sir, Miss Sofia has sold all those assets," Hana said with fear.
"What?" Nico was stuck, his face getting flushed. "Why is Sofia selling all that, Hana?" hissed Nico inflamed.
"I don't know, sir!" replied Hana. Annoyed Nico immediately ended his call.
Alisa's babble made Nico rush to turn off his laptop screen.
"Relax, Nico, calm down! We're investigating slowly. Why did Sofia sell some of the assets you had? Hopefully, it's not the bad answer you find," Nico told himself.
"Sir!"
The woman standing on the window sill stared at Nico who had moved on the bed.
"Rachel, what's wrong?" said Nico again pretending. His eyes stared straight at his bedroom window.
"I'm going to take you to the park. Do you want to come?" asked Rachel.
"No, you just go with Alisa. I'm just at home," Nico replied.
The young girl watched Nico's face closely. "Sir, sure it's okay if I live alone at home?" Rachel linked both eyebrows.
"Yes, I'll be fine!" replied Nico.
The young girl finally twisted her body leaving Nico. Now there was Nico alone.
The man standing next to the window of the room was still inflamed. After knowing the crime that Sofia had committed. Suddenly the sound of Sofia's car was heard entering the courtyard of the house. Nico got up and walked by the window. He noticed Sofia and Sam getting out of the car into the house.
"What are they doing?" hissed Nico squinting his eyes.

Sofia peeked at Nico who was sitting on the lips of the bed with a straightforward look inside the room. The woman walked very slowly towards the nightstand that was beside the end of the bed. Then take something from inside the nightstand drawer. Sam looked like he was waiting with an impatient face in the doorway. After getting the object they wanted, Sofia and Sam rushed to leave the room.
Nico snorted heavily. Dragging his footsteps closer to the window. His gaze was fixed on Sofia's car which was still parked.
"Turns out they're still here!" muttered Nico sarcastically.
"Why don't they come out too!" said Nico after a moment of waiting.
"What did Sofia take?" thought Nico.
For a moment the man standing next to the window continued to wait. However, Sofia and Sam did not leave the house either.
The curious Nico immediately descended from the top floor. He spread his gaze around the lower floors. There was only Sofia's bag still lying on the television room sofa, but the woman wasn't anywhere.
The sound of a sigh burning Nico's chest rang out from the guest room, breaking the silence in Nico's stately home. Nico slowly walked closer to the room. The sound of that disgusting sigh was getting so louder. One hand Nico clenched, and one hand opened the doorknob of the room.
