“Salsa why suddenly calling me again?” Lia, who was still in her office, turned off the phone with Aini not because there was a problem with her work. Instead, he gets a message from Salsa saying not to tell Aini anything and calls her back immediately. “Hello? Lia? Do you have spare time?” Salsa's voice echoed in Lia's ear. Hearing that Lia rubbed her forehead, it was obvious that Salsa's voice this time didn't sound calm at all. Did something happen to him? “Where are you now? Let me get to you.” “I'm scared, Lia.” The words were followed by vibrations, making Lia sit up straight. “Lia… you… you don't come, okay?” "What are you talking about? How can I not come if you are like that? Anyway, send your location now!” Lia's muffled groans could now be heard. He frowned and glanced around, making sure it wasn't from where he was. After confirming that the voice was from the connected phone, Lia could feel her heart beating faster and faster. He was questioning what happened to Salsa and whether he should listen to his best friend not to come. However, if he said that he would definitely be in trouble with Marsha or Leo, right? After not hearing anything from across the line, Lia felt even more worried, so she decided to finish her work for the day. It would do him no good to wait any longer. It would be better if he left immediately when he got the address given, especially when the place was far away. Likewise, it's clear that this will be a problem later. After waiting for a few more moments, finally Lia could hear someone's voice again, but not Salsa's voice that she now heard. “Hmm? This is Lia, right?” Marsha, who spoke surprised Lia, making her grip her cellphone even tighter. “Why don't you just shut up? Are you surprised that I picked up? What to do. Your best friend is alone with me, really. We're having fun together. You're coming with me, okay? I need entertainment too Or... do you want to see your friend Salsa as the entertainment? I'll send you a picture!” “You don't have to say much, tell me where Salsa is!” The only angry tone Lia could give. He really couldn't stop thinking about what Marsha was doing. Why did he come this far? "Seriously, you want to come here? Are you sure you won't regret it? But, if I see you bringing your friends… Salsa won't be fine, will you?” "Lia, don't listen! Do not come here, I beg you.” From behind, Lia could faintly hear Salsa's voice holding back a groan. What did Marsha actually do to Salsa? Not wanting the problem to get worse, Lia finally agreed. “I agree, hurry and send Salsa's address. If he isn't there, it's you who will regret it.” After waiting for a few moments from Marsha who hung up the phone, Lia finally got the address where Salsa is now said to be. With her heart beating fast, Lia immediately moved towards there, not forgetting that she said to Arjuna first. He also said how no one should ever come with him. Lia, who saw that her message had not been read, could feel the fear that filled her. What if Arjuna didn't want to listen to her? However, regardless of what the future holds, Lia still decides to immediately move to save Salsa. If he could arrive quickly, then this matter could also be resolved easily. So that Arjuna's intervention was completely unnecessary in this matter. With this new power, it didn't take long for Lia to reach the place where Salsa was. Just looking at the building made Lia's heart beat fast, she was afraid to go inside. But, if he doesn't do it, Salsa could be in danger. "Don't be afraid, Lia. Salsa needs you, you have to be able to prioritize Salsa!” muttered Lia to herself while patting her cheeks. As he walked to go inside, his cell phone beeped, indicating someone had sent him a message. Thinking it was Salsa, he quickly checked, to find it was from Arjuna. “Move!” The scream of a rude man startled Lia when she read the message. Even that person didn't hesitate to push Lia until the cellphone in her hand fell. The man was followed by several other people, causing Lia's cellphone to be stepped on, and the screen cracked. “Ah, my cellphone…,” complained Lia who immediately took the flat object as soon as no one was around. There, he could still see a message from Arjuna, saying not to be rash, and he would be right there to help. However, when Lia was about to reply to the message, the crack in the cellphone screen prevented her from typing anything. Even when he wanted to call Arjuna, he heard a woman's scream. “Salsa…?” "Go! Get away from me!” screamed the voice. Even if it wasn't Salsa, Lia wouldn't let that person suffer. He immediately went to the source of the sound and clearly found Salsa, who was being approached by three men at once. Their bodies were so big when compared to Arjuna's, that Lia swallowed her saliva with difficulty. “You all! Go away." Lia snapped, which sounded more like a squeak. Hearing Lia's voice, Salsa immediately raised her head. Now his face depicts a variety of expressions. From feeling angry, annoyed, disappointed, and also guilty to sad. Just seeing all these expressions, Lia could understand what her best friend was feeling. He was angry at Lia for coming even though he had been told not to come, he felt disappointed because he had made his best friend in trouble, and sad because now they would both be in trouble. Not wanting to make Salsa rush, Lia decided to give a smile. “Who else? Kid? Small child?” Lia who heard that, clenched her fists. Every so often he does look like a child, but that doesn't mean he likes to be called that. With a deep breath, Lia immediately walked in front of Salsa, protecting her. "Don't touch my friend! If you still want to live, get out of here now!” The men looked at Lia for a few moments, confused. After digesting what Lia said, they burst out laughing, feeling very funny about what Lia had just done. “Lia… don't,” muttered Salsa, who shook her head. Salsa's trembling voice showed how frightened she was now. However, Lia quickly held her best friend's hand to calm her down. “Lo… you could also get in trouble, leave before it gets any worse, Li. Aini… you have to take care of Aini.” A small smile appeared on Aini's lips. “I'm certain that I can take care of you and Aini, so trust me, okay?” A moment of calm hit them before the sound of the men's laughter broke it. They laughed so hard that Lia felt a little scared. "Did you hear what he said? Trust a kid like him? Whoa, kid. Understand your position! From now on… you won't be safe. You and your best friend, will be suitable toys for us tonight.”

Ai ni and Salsa nodding together indicate that they don't believe it or actually don't know for sure because it hasn't been seen by their own eyes so everything feels uncertain but
