"Oh no, Miss. Oopss, I was wrong .. sorry, I mean Madam. I can't put you here. I risked my head when I did. Big master Langton will cut off my head .. krakkkk!"
Pablo imitated a cutting motion on his neck.
"I'm just a worker. This tea plantation supervisor. So help me, don't hide from your husband here. You can get me a death sentence." Pablo was heartbreaking, mimicking the style of a suffering death sentence defendant.
Amy laughed at her childhood friend Reggie. They used to play together, running between plantation paths, chasing butterflies, catching dragonflies and spending time playing in the open. Her mamma likes to be here, so they used to live in a big house on a hill. White house where his parents live if they are on this plantation.
"Oh come on, Pablo, just temporarily. Until I feel calm and will return to my own home."
"No. If you want to calm yourself down, then stay home on the hill. Your parents' place."
"They'll find me if they search there. So let me stay here. With your grandmother, and you have to keep it a secret." Amy smiled sweetly. Pablo never refused all his and Reggie's requests. The man was only a year older than her and a few years under Reggie. Always follow their words when they were kids playing together.
"Not Mrs Langton." Pablo raised his chin stubbornly.
Amy folded her hands in front of her chest. Raised his chin and returned Pablo's gaze. The two stared at each other stubbornly until a voice interjected between them.
"Of course he can stay here Pablo. Whenever he wants it."
The calm and melodious voice made a smile on Amy's lips. He hugged an old woman who came from the back of the house.
"Grand Nanny! Oh my God .. I miss you so much!" Amy hugged the body of her old nanny who was guarding her when she lived in the house on the hill.
"I am also my darling. You're getting pretty." The old woman stroked Amy's back which began to feel moving up and down irregularly.
"Please, Honey. Don't be held up like that. Cry .. Get out your voice."
A bitter whimper reached Pablo's ears after his grandmother's words to Amy were finished. Pablo frowned.What exactly is it ... what happened ?
Through her eyes the old woman told her granddaughter to come out. Pablo sniffed his shoulders, glanced at the crying new mistress and left their small house for the estate.
"Sit down, honey." Nanny leads Amy to the chair.
"You want to tell me why you ran away from your husband?"
Amy shook her head, only her crying voice had begun to subside which answered Nanny's question.
"All right .. It's okay. I'll be here with you. You're traveling alone?"
Amy nodded.
"Is that the little bag you're carrying? No clothes?"
Amy shakes.
Nanny took a deep breath. "What if you're still hard to tell. Calm yourself. We will gladly accept you and take care of you."
"Thank you Grand Nanny."
"Together, My dear. I'm so glad to see you again."

Brakkkkk!
The sound of the door slamming loudly preceded Derek's step into his office room. His sharp gaze swept over the three people who had been inside the office.
"Good .. You're here. Tell me how it's progressing."
Eve who was sitting in the corner of the sofa answered Derek's question.
"There's information about the last cash withdrawal from your wife's card.It happened at the airport when she ran away that night. He withdrew some money and used it to buy airline tickets."
Derek squinted at Eve who looked tired.
"You checked the flight destination?"
"Yes. A small town near Arthur Sky's largest tea plantation."
Derek looked at the two men standing before him.
Mike took a deep breath.
"Sorry Derek. I'm not coming this time." With a heavy voice Mike looked at his superior. His face looked crumpled, like he hadn't slept all night.
"Don't tell me you're still having a lot of drinking, Mike! My wife is out there unaccompanied! He's alone!"
"Regina's gone too, Derek. I found the message this morning." Mike held out a piece of paper that Derek greeted and read to him, soon crumbling it into a ball in Derek's hand.
"May they go together?"
Derek saw Mike shake.
"He asked us to look after Amy. Leave Amy to us, take care of her 'cause she's leaving. I don't think he'd lie like that if he went with Amy." Mike was frustrated.
"There's no information whatsoever. It leaves no trace." Mike again.
"I don't think there's any harm in us looking into that plantation, Mike. They're inseparable and in the meantime tell our people to keep looking for information."
Mike took a deep breath. He saw something strange about the girl. His night sleep never escaped from nightmares, something disturbed him, even in his sleep. Regina's deepest fears. But Mike couldn't force her to come clean and now the girl's running away. Just as Derek's wife was also running away. What a coincidence ....
"I think you're partly responsible for this, Ivy! " Alex looked intently at Eve who looked tired and pale.
"I've been looking for information all night, Alex! Not sleeping for a moment! These men were heavily drunk and could not get up until morning. Thank goodness they were finally sane."
"What did you do until Amy misunderstood you? You teased Derek in front of him!?" Alex looked at Eve with a flat face. Seeing the emotions begin to loom on Eve's pale face.
"Oh .. Ask two drunken fools and one of them vomits all over his clothes and even my clothes! Then his favorite right hand told me to take care of it in the hotel room. Take off that disgusting clothes full of vomit all over her body!"
"Don't blame me! How do I know that Amy's coming and knocking on the door! Even seeing her half-naked husband on the bed!"
Eve screamed with breath hunting down Alex. No. .. Not because that's it, there's something else that bothers Eve. Alex decided he would find out after the meeting was over.
"Better hurry and see there, Derek. I really hope Amy's there and fine."
Derek nodded. Mike immediately picked up the phone, called their men to get everything ready.
"And you're Ivy ... You better take a break. You'll fall in a minute. Come with me." Alex held out his hand. That immediately greeted Eve, then followed Alex's steps out of the room. They were silent in the elevator that brought them down.
Alex takes Eve to his car, they get in and sit in silence.
"Tell me," Alex said firmly.
Eve turned her head, leaning against the back of the seat. Looks very depressed.
"Why do you always know if there's something wrong with me."
"Jawab only my question Ivy," Alex ordered softly.
Hearing that soft remark, Eve began to cry. Alex was very confused, the woman who always looked strong and tough was crying. Stiffly Alex tried to calm her down by hugging her. Eve hugged back and cried even stronger in Alex's chest.
Alex waits, letting Eve settle for tears, then starts talking as Eve's cry subsides.
"Now tell me what's weighing on you, Evangeline."
Eve lowered her head, reached out and searched inside the small bag she was carrying. Then take out a small object and extend it to Alex.
"What ...." Alex frowning. Trying to see and understand what the thing in his hand means. Then his face darkened, disbelief looming on his face.
"Ivy .. Are you pregnant!? Tell me who that guy is!" he shouted with a blaring voice.
