Alika was trembling. His feet slowly retreated along with Lula's advancing footsteps.
"You don't talk too much!" alika snapped with an almost stammering voice. Her eyeballs twirled around trying to find an answer from where Lula knew a big secret that if anyone else knew, would be fatal to her.
"I? Indiscriminately talk?" Lula looked at him sharply.
"It's obvious you just want to slander me. Because you're just obsessed with Dirga, right? You want to take him away from me!"
"I want to take him away from you. By exposing your crimes. You've been lying to Mas Dirga for too long."
Alika's eyes turned red, staring at her female friends one by one. They are whispering to each other and Alika is afraid that this will have a bad impact on her.
"You can't trust him! He just wants to take my husband."
"If you are innocent, why should you be afraid? You can say you weren't involved in what happened two years ago."
"Once again I remind you not to talk carelessly!"
Alika's entire body was hot. Infuriated by Lula's words, he raised his hand and pointed it at her honey face, but was quickly caught by Lula so that their hands hung in the air.
Plaque!
A loud slap had just landed on Alika's right cheek. Lula looked at him as if she wanted to devour him right then and there. The fear spread to the heart of the woman.
"This is for Mas Dirga, for all the vain sacrifices he made for you."
Plaque! Plaque! Two more slaps he gave on the right and left cheeks.
"This is for Vino and Azka."
Alika's face paled. Not only fear but also unbearable shame. Moreover, everyone's gaze seemed to judge him. Not wanting to get involved further with Lula, he finally chose to leave the salon with half a run.
Get in the car and lean back while taking a deep breath. Lula's words earlier made her chest feel tight.
"How did Lula know about the incident? Now how should I?"
The only thing Alika thinks about is Hito. He pulled out his phone trembling to contact the man.

The meeting went smoothly without meeting any significant obstacles. Although sometimes Hito attacked indirectly with subtle innuendo, but apparently Dirga was not at all provoked. Jeff can always control Dirga's anger by reminding Lula of his lunch appointment and of course Dirga does not want to ruin his mood if he is involved in a problem with Hito.
“Sorry, I have an important phone. Excuse me for a minute.” Hito got up from his seat and immediately walked out of the glass-walled room. With a clear veil of annoyance, he shifted the green symbol on his phone screen.
“I told you I have an important meeting with Lintang Group. Why do you keep calling me?” hito said shortly after the distress call was connected.
“We need to see you now! This is very important.” Alika's voice sounded trembling, like she was being chased by something.
“What important things make you bother me in working hours?”
“Hito, this is bad! We're in danger."
"What do you mean?" hito snapped in panic hearing Alika's panic.
"Lula knows what we did to Vino and Azka.”
Hito's eyelids widened, that second the phone slipped out of his grasp and just fell to the marble floor.
It took a while for Hito to restore his lost sense.
He grabbed back his phone which looked like it had cracked the screen. Luckily the phone is still on and still usable.
“What do you mean, how can he know?”
“I don't know either!” yelled Alika across there. “I want us to meet now. You have to do something to get rid of Lula before she leaks everything to Dirga.”
"You sure?"
"Yes, Hito. He told me the same!"
Hito seemed to pull his hair with a frustrated face. The news that Alika brought was like a lightning strike in broad daylight.
"Alright, you calm down first and don't panic. Now where's Lula?"
