Unforgiven Sins

Cinyla’s POV

Today is Saturday and I immediately go straight to the house of my detective friend that I know who can help me. It’s not far from our house, in fact, it’s just a short drive from us. He is Joshua Carl Gonzaga, the great detective I met when he was my classmate in my second year of college.

I am currently walking to ring the doorbell at his house, I no longer go straight to his house because there is often no one in his office. I just hope he’s not busy so he can take care of me and he can do the things I want to know.

He was the reason for me to know that daddy was fooling us because I thought the rumors I heard from the neighbors were not true but it was true. Not only is he really a rumor being spread, sometimes their curiosity is also caused.

I pressed Joshua’s black doorbell and waited for him outside their house. Joshua was a young man and became my best friend after he found out about my daddy’s antics. He is kind and handsome too. It’s funny because he doesn’t like women, he has had no girlfriend since birth. Not because he was so strong, but because he focus on his skill and talent. A few moments later, the man I was waiting for came out.

“Good afternoon, Cinyla! How are you? Do you have a problem?” he asked too much which makes me irritated and gives me a reason to cover his mouth.

I ignored him and get inside his house so we could talk properly. But it looks like he knows already.

“I know you want to be investigated. I feel it is also close to your heart, “he said, causing my eyebrows to rise.

“W-what? How did you know about this? Is that really your skill? I haven’t even started yet. ”

“It’s obvious from your actions. It’s been almost a year since we last talked to Cinyla. So I know that’s how you came here. But what is it? Start now. ”

He made me sit on the sofa first and there I took out the picture of BenChua. He was surprised by what I showed because he seemed to know what was in the picture.

“Ohh, that man! Will you ask me to investigate him? ” he asked and looked at me seriously.

“Yeah! Do you know him?”

“Of course Cinyla! That’s a celebrity. He is the CEO of Spyanata Incorporation which you work for. Do not you know?” He took the picture and examined it carefully. I also took out the handkerchief from BenChua with my last name on the side of it.

“What is this? he asked.

“Honestly, before I didn’t know. But now, I know he is our CEO. I don’t want to fall for him forever Joshua. I want to know his background so I’m here for you to help me. Besides, I also want to know the stranger who also harassed me last week. ” I explain while looking at what he is doing in the picture because I feel he knows what he should do.

“I see, I already know that you want me to investigate his background. I also think that handkerchiefs have a big connection to both of you. I don’t want to say that, but what if you’re brothers?”

I almost fell into my seat in shock at the last thing he said. I don’t know how he could have said that and was so straightforward. That’s what I thought but I don’t have enough evidence.

“I know Cinyla is shocking. But I have some guts about him. So you really have to get to know him a lot so that you know if what I’m saying is true, “he said seriously.

“That’s why I came here for you to do the investigation yourself!” I promised irritably as my snout lengthened.

“Calm down! You’re the only one I’m going to do to provoke your boss right? You will be able to answer your questions later. Just get ready, “he instructed, which made my heart pound.

I don’t know what he wants me to do but I’m just nervous right now. Before I could think of anything, I took out my cell phone and showed him the number and text messages of the person I wanted him to know.

“Joshua, can you figure out who’s calling and texting me?”

“Does that person often feel bad? Because if yes, I can trace it. It’s also a bit risky because maybe when we know we’re in trouble. But don’t worry, I will take care of you. I mean, this case. ”

“Thank you so much, Joshua!” I hugged my friend and smiled. I feel like my chest has lost weight because of what he said. I really trust his words and actions. He is also a really good secret detective, he knows almost everything.

“No worries! You too! ” I said happily and also responded with a hug to me. “Say Cinyla. I will inform you later, as soon as possible. Wait, do you have anything else to do later? ” he asked, looking seriously into my eyes.

I was devastated by his stare but I didn’t mind it, I immediately replied, “Nothing, Joshua. Why? ”

“Can you join me for dinner, if you can go with me at 2:00 in the afternoon?”

“Of course, sure! I can and I want to relax. ”

*****

It was exactly 2:00 in the afternoon when Joshua and I went out, I didn’t know what he was up to but I was nervous. I also don’t know why I agreed, but the only thing I know is that whatever his intentions were, I would have responded, and then I would know that it was really true.

“Are you okay, Cinyla? Don’t worry, I won’t let you fail. I’m just behind you. ” He was encouraging me at the same time as he looked seriously into my eyes.

“I am hoping, Joshua. What exactly is the plan? ”

He approached me and there we discussed the plan.

“Our plan is simple. You will take his heart, even more, you will be beaten even more until I can start the investigation.”

“What if?”

“I said before, I was just behind you. Do your part, and I will do my part. I will pretend to deliver the boy any food. You have to turn off the CCTVs so that nothing will be a problem. I’ll just get a few details inside his office and that’s where we’ll find out the truth. ”

“Oh, I see. But did you mention earlier that I would seduce him, right? How do I do that? ” I asked because I was still confused about his plans.

“Listen, Cinyla. You need some document that will prove that he has a connection with you but I will know that, just do what I tell you. ” I nodded at what he said and there I felt more nervous.

Even though what he was saying still confused me, I had confidence in Joshua that I would also know the truth. Am I ready when I find out? As I thought about the possible scenarios, I also thought I would hurt BenChua.

I know he already likes me and then I will do this, I will let him fall after I just leave him in the air.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Can you do it, Cinyla?” I understood his question and felt a pain in my heart. What does this mean? I can do it! I can do it!

Without hesitation, I answered immediately. “Of course!”

“Good to know. Don’t avoid him, he needs to be more attached to you and for you to know the truth better. Anyway, regarding the stranger who called you and texted you. I will just connect him to my device for when he calls and I can detect it.

“I request, always be careful and of course when there is a problem just text or call me. You know my number, don’t you? ”

I nodded and said, “Yeah! But I only have your old number here, 789 is the end. Is that right?”

He smiled and replied, “Yes you are still saved it, huh? I never  change my  number.”

I was surprised by what he said but I just ignored it. I just remembered everything he said because that’s what was more important. It is important for me to know the truth so that I can stop thinking.

“All right Joshua, I’m leaving. I’ll just text you when I need something or say something else.” I smiled and stood up as well. I adjusted myself because I also had to go home early to rest.

“Sure! I brought you outside. I know you need to rest well. Just do what we talked about. Just always answer the stranger who calls you. I know you know him but he’s just really hiding.

Just click the record on the side of your phone and it will connect to my device. ”

“Thank you very much, Joshua.” I hugged the man in front of me and I heard something he said but I didn’t fully understand.

“Are you saying something?” I let go of her hug and looked at her seriously.

“Nothing! Let’s bring you, “he said sparingly and held my hand. I just nodded and ignored that because I wanted to rest as well.

“Be careful, Cinyla. Be careful, “he said last until I finally left his house. As I walked to board the minibus, I was almost stunned and thought of the last thing he said.

“Miss, will you ride?” said a driver in front of me.

I just went straight to his minibus and paid. I also tried to put aside the things that bothered my mind first. It is not right for me to think now. I really need to be careful.

As the minibus I was riding in started moving, I looked around and saw a man wearing a black hood who seemed to be watching my behavior. I looked back but there was no one else there but me in that seat.

But he also removed the thought that maybe it was just in my mind so that’s why. Calm down Cinyla, you need to concentrate.

The mini-bus stopped and the man on my left stood up, he dropped an envelope in his haste. I was going to chase him but suddenly the minibus started running so I just took it and looked if there was a number to call but I saw something else … It was different.

Finally, we met my beloved Cinyla. Soon, I will be with you and with your mom.

I swallowed even though I was not drinking, I felt like I was blinded by the intense tension I felt because of the simple letter on the front that was placed on the envelope.

The mini-bus stopped again, when I looked out the window I was with us. I go down while still holding the envelope I saw earlier. As I was walking slowly I received a call from mommy.

“Hello, Cinyla? Where are you? Go home. Faster!” This command makes me conscious. Mommy’s voice was strange now as if something strange had happened.

“It’s close, mommy!” I shouted and never turned off the call.  I ran inside as quick I am.

I hurried to open the gate and it wasn’t locked yet. Even the door to the courtyard was already open. My heartbeat was so fast.

“M-mommy!” I shouted and hurried up to her room.

But I was shocked by what I saw, I almost became a statue in my position. Why is he here?

“Sir B-BenChua?”

“Hi, love! How are you? I am so sorry to surprise you that I came here. ” He smiled at me while mommy suddenly left us for privacy.

I tried to fix myself and I was about to leave but I remembered what Joshua said. Don’t avoid him, take heart and that way you will get to know him.

He came closer to me and hugged me tightly. I wanted to remove his arms because I am mad at him but I decided to hide my cell phone and envelope inside my bag.

Then I remembered the law of Joshua. You need to win his heart and trust him. I responded to his hug as I thought and asked myself.

Who are you, BenChua? Who are you in my life- in our life? Do I need to let you go or allow you in my life?
