POV Ilhan

I was awakened by the sound of alarm that woke me up at 3:00 in the morning. Like most humans today, the first thing I checked was my smartphone.

I unlocked my smartphone lock screen then saw many messages via social media and also incoming phone calls that I did not answer which were all from Chandra.

I opened the contents of the message, she said she was terrorized by telephone calls many times. When she first answered the phone call, the first thing she heard was grunts and giggling that then turned into heavy breathing.

She sent me a screenshot of the terror calls which I hurriedly downloaded along with the recorded voice chat that she sent to me. I re-read and hear the contents of the message. She said that maybe our lives were threatened and she asked me to do a scan of the document files and the evidence that is to be used in the next trial and then send the file to Ludwig's twin along with the evidence of the two fake videos and then l went to the closest 24-hour printing press from the inn.

After doing all that in a hurry, I immediately came out of my inn. Turning off my smartphone just in case my whereabouts cannot be traced then searching for a taxi, it took me 30 minutes to find it.

I asked the driver to step on the gas harder so that I get to my destination faster. When I arrived at my destination, I asked the driver to wait and give him extra money so he would wait for me. I actually don't like this but there is no other choice. This is not the first time we are in a state of life or death but I think I'm on the black list of those Neo-NSB bastards.

I arrived at the printing press, asking the employees to scan all the sheets of documents. While waiting, I felt like my mind was hit by a great storm filled with screams of thunder and lightning flashes. The worry infiltrating my body and eats my inner being. I do not want to lose Chandra, because there are many things that I have not told her especially about how I feel for her that I have buried for years.

1 hour has passed, my file has been scanned and sent to my
e-mail and Ludwig's twin e-mail. I paid the scan fee, thanked them then returned to the taxi whom waiting for me. I was worried the driver would run away after I paid the money that I gave him to wait for me, but thankfully he was not a petty person.

I arrived at the inn and then paid my fare with additional money for him, thanking him because he wanted to wait for me but he refused. He said he knew that I was Karim's attorney, whose name recently appeared on headlines in the mass media such as online and non-online newspapers and magazines.

He told me he was not sure someone like mevrouw Sofia would be incited by a native person whose status was far below her for free and if even that happened, one of the successors to the throne like her would not be as stupid as to let her good name be tarnished and let the video being spread online.

I thanked him for wanting to believe in me and then he asked why I was looking for a taxi and did not order online taxi instead . I explained to him that my friend who was accompanying me was terrorized, she was called many times and when she answered her phone all that was heard was the sound of grunts and laughter. I told her I would also be targeted and because of that I did not use online transportation for fear of being traced.

After knowing that, he gave his phone number to me and said if I wanted to go anywhere. I just had to call him then he would take me wherever I wanted, but he said at least pay the tariff according to the current meter so that he would not be fired by his boss. I laughed at his joke then thanked him again and gave my goodbye.

I went into the inn back to my room, hurried to turned on my smartphone and immediately contacted Ludwig's twin so that he checked his e-mail. I also did not forget to download the scanned file again and sent those same files through his WA contact with a terror call screenshot that Chandra received in case if my social media or e-mail is hacked or something bad happens to Chandra.

After doing all that, I tried to call Chandra but she did not answer, the same thing happened when I contacted her via social media, there was no answer. Huuft, I had to go visit her house that also served as her office to make sure she is all right.
