275 Invisible wound

The woman looked at Zwetta from the top of her hair to her toes using her slightly myopic eyes, Zwetta who realized that she had made a mistake then stretched out her hand towards the woman. “My name is Zwetta, I come from America. And I am a tourist who likes ancient and artistic places. But when I was looking at the buildings around this place, the remains of the ruins of this building made me curious and I’m finally standing here now,” Zwetta identity fake to the bespectacled woman who was staring at him without blinking. “Sorry for my impoliteness, I didn’t introduce myself to you right away.”

The friendly woman then grabbed Zwetta. “Zwetta is a good name, you can call me Mrs Elle.”

“Nice to meet you Mrs Elle,” Zwetta quickly.

“Shall we talk in that chair.”

“Eh?”

“Weren’t you curious about the owner of this place?”

“Oh, that’s right, madam. I’m really very curious about the Wilson family you told me about earlier,” said Zwetta with a smile.

“Okay, let’s go to the chair,” said Mrs. Elle slowly.

Zwetta nodded slowly, without another word Zwetta then followed Mrs. Elle’s footsteps towards the lounge on the sidewalk across the street. Zwetta , who did not take off her mask and hat carelessly, sat next to Mrs. Elle who was waiting for her, as Zwetta sat down the middle-aged woman then began to tell about the Wilson family who mysteriously disappeared almost a year ago.

.....

Zwetta was a good listener, as long as Mrs. Elle was talking she didn’t open her lips at all. The story about the disappearance of the cake shop owner’s family that had been destroyed without a trace made Zwetta curious. Even though she didn’t know the family, Zwetta felt sad when she heard about their bad luck.

“Do you have a photo of that girl named Elena, madam?”asked Zwetta hoarsely.

Mrs. Elle shook her head. “Too bad I don’t have a photo of Elena, the very hardworking Elena almost never leaves her house to play. Before getting a job, Elena always helped her parents ” their cake shop. That’s why I don’t have a picture of her.”

“So what about social media accounts?”

“For people who are as old as me, playing on social media is a difficult thing to do, Miss. Our agility is not like you young people who are still full of fresh creative ideas,” answered Mrs. Elle with a smile.

Although a little disappointed, but Zwetta tried to keep a smile so as not to make the kind woman sitting next to her feel guilty. Because her curiosity was still so high, Zwetta was determined to find out about the Wilson family that Mrs. Elle had just told. While they were thinking of a way to leave the place, suddenly a small child came up to them. The seven-year-old child is apparently the granddaighter of Mrs. Elle, she came because she wanted to ask her grandmother to make lunch who was sitting relaxing with Zwetta.

Because she couldn’t bear to see her granddaughter whining, Mrs. Elle then said goodbye to Zwetta. Zwetta , who could not stop the kind woman, could only smile when she saw her walking away with her granddaughter who was whining to make lunch.

“The child must be very happy, having a grandmother as good as that. I really envy her,” Zwetta in her heart, growing up without the love of her parents made Zwetta not have any pleasant memories of her childhood.

After Mrs. Elle and her granddaughter had disappeared from her sight, Zwetta then took out her laptop back from her bag. Zwetta searches for the Wilson family’s home and pastry shop on fire one year ago. Her eyes widened when she saw the amateur camera footage that recorded how the fire happened.

“Luckily they weren’t all home when the fire broke out, I really can’t imagine what would have happened to them if they had been in this house when the fire broke out.”tears Zwetta’s suddenly fell down her cheeks when she looked back at the ruins of the Wilson family’s house that had been razed to the ground.

“Wherever you are, I hope you are doing well.” Zwetta prays sincerely to all members of the Wilson family whose whereabouts are unknown, especially the whereabouts of the couple’s only child . Zwetta felt concerned about the fate of Elena who suddenly disappeared without a trace, Zwetta felt sorry and could not bear to know that there was a girl who had to experience such a kidnapping.

“Areez ran away? How come?” Christian who is enjoying his lunch at the hospital, is surprised to hear the news that Kainer gave him.

“He managed to escape while everyone else was sleeping, sir. Using a wire arranged in such a way, Areez managed to untie the chains that bound his legs,” Kainer said quietly, repeating what Erick had told her how Areez escaped. “He has also returned all the capital invested by Muller Finance International in his new company in Geneva, it seems Areez really has prepared everything so neatly.”

Christian’s hands are clenched into fists. “Did Daddy chase him to Auckland?”

“No, Mr. Jack didn’t go after him. He also forbade everyone to go after Areez.”

“Then what about Suri?” Christian’s voice stutters when he mentions Suri’s name, remembering how cruel his younger sister’s betrayal made Christian so disappointed in Suri at this time.

“Miss Suri still locked herself in her room, since she came back from the office yesterday she hasn’t come out of her room at all, so the maids have to bring food to her room.”

Christian’s face and neck turn red, his anger coming back. The memory of the shocking conversation at Muller Finance International yesterday afternoon replayed in his head.

“It seems that Miss Suri is in shock, sir. I have never in my entire life heard Miss Suri like this.”

“No Kainer, you and we all don’t know Suri well anymore. We don’t know what Areez has planted in Suri for the past three years,” Christian says quietly. “We don’t know what doctrine that bastard Areez Floyen did to Suri, so that Suri could betray us, her own family.”

Kainer lowered her head, even though she wasn’t there when all of Suri’s and Areez’s charades were exposed, but Kainer could feel how disappointed her employer was with his only sister. Kainer, who has measured Christian for a long time, knows how much Christian loves his only sister, that’s why she can imagine how Christian feels right now.
