A Piece of Asa In A Taste
Uncovering a Little Secret

Satya drove Frans to the bathroom door. Then he returned to the living room, looking for Ghani who suddenly disappeared somewhere.

Shortly thereafter, Frans came to Satya.

"Satya!" call Frans.

"Yes, sir."

"You got a housekeeper now?" ask Frans.

"No sir," Satya replied, shaking her head.

"But I just met the servant's aunt in the back.who is she?" frans asked, looking at Satya.

"Oh, that's Bik Lastri Mister. She's not a housekeeper, she's Ali__"'s nanny"

"Mr Frans!" call Ghani with a smile. He cut off Satya's conversation.

"You're Ghani, right?"

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, sir. Thank you for the gift, and thank you for the support during this time" Ghani said with a slight bow.

"Don't be too shy, you do deserve to join Boundaries. Your talent is amazing, I'm amazed by your persistence" Frans said, patting Ghani on the shoulder gently.

"I'm so flattered, thank you so much Sir." Ghani said again, bowing.

"Yes, keep working!

Oh yes Satya, the waiter, who was taken care of? You're all single, right?" frans asked, looking at Satya.

"Sorry sir, who my sister took care of. In the village he was alone, that's why I brought him here. I'm sorry if it's a hassle, but I'm willing to pay the waiter myself" Ghani said before Satya could answer.

"Oh your sister, it's okay. By the way what's his name, and what age is he now?" ask Frans.

"His name is Alfah, he's 7 years old." Ghani deliberately lied.

Satya glared at Ghani while frowning her forehead. Why is Ghani lying? One question that bothered his mind.

"Still small," Frans murmured softly.

"The affair with that unlucky kid." Frans continued in his heart.

"Yes Sir. That's why I brought it here" Ghani said with a smile.

"Yes it's okay. Mmm yeah I went out first. Ghani, you don't want to talk to me?" frans said while raising both eyebrows.

"Of course I want to, I'll come out."

Then the three of them went to the living room, and talked together for a long time. Fortunately today was Sunday, so Alina did not need to go to school. She can remain hidden in her room, as long as Frans is still in her house.

At around 08:00, Frans resigned. Ghani and the others returned to their rooms to prepare, as soon as they had to go to the studio.

Before entering his room, Satya greeted Ghani first.

"Ghani!" call Satya, when Ghani is about to enter her room.

"Yes, what's up Sat?" ghani asked in surprise.

Satya looked at him with an uncertain look.

"No, I'm fine. Why are you asking like this?" Ghani asked back.

"I've seen the look on your face change since Mr. Frans came. And, why are you lying about Alina's name? We are Ghan's friends, if there is a story problem only," replied Satya.

"I didn't lie to Sat, his name was Alifah, Alifah Naufara. Alina was my dear call to her. And as for Mr. Frans, I'm just nervous. He was a big man, while I. You know, too, what my past is like. It was like a dream to say hello to Mr. Frans" Ghani said, again lying. He disguised the name Alina Haliza Putri as Alifah Naufara.

"I'm sorry, Satya, this is a big deal. I can't be honest with you yet. I also do not understand why Boundaries suddenly related to Frans, whether this is indeed a way to uncover the past. I hope Alina gets her rights back soon." Inner Ghani.

"You're so covered Ghani," Satya's inner voice with a long sigh. Inwardly, he was very sure that there was something Ghani was hiding.

***

In one corner of Jakarta. In a cafe near the Square. Ghani sits alone at the corner table. He was waiting for someone, staring at the hot sun from behind the window.

Ghani plays his drink glass, the white coffe that pooled there looks turbulent like his feelings. Since Frans came two days ago, Ghani has been plagued by anxiety. He thought about everything that has happened lately.

From that day on, Alina was not as cheerful as usual. He was often moody, afraid that Uncle Frans would know of his existence. Even once, Alina whined she wanted to sleep with Ghani. The little girl felt safe, if she was in her arms.

Ghani let out a long sigh, and exhaled violently. His eyes glanced at the entrance, there was no sign of Livay's presence there yet.

Then Ghani glanced at the circular clockwork in his hand, twenty minutes had already passed, from the time they promised.

"Do I wrongly believe him" murmured Ghani as he sipped an almost icy white coffee.

Livay is someone she just met. And again, he is the owner of the position that Ghani occupies. It's actually very funny if he trusts Livay just like that, but Alina's problem is so urgent, forcing him to believe. Because of Vino, he was currently unable to help her.

Shortly afterwards, Ghani breathed a sigh of relief. Livay's figure had already appeared at the entrance, she smiled as she stepped towards him.

"Sorry I'm late, there was still a little business" Livay said as he sat in front of Ghani.

"It's okay, I haven't been long either." Answer Ghani. "Please order a drink, I ordered it first" Ghani said with a smile.

Livay nodded, and then ordered a drink. While waiting for her order to come, Livay began to talk seriously.

"Ghani, do you know who Alina is?" ask Livay.

"You, you know something?" Ghani asked back. Her heart beats fast, could Livay know Alina and Frans' relationship?

"Looking at your reaction, I think you already know. Ghani, Frans Been Jackson is the man standing behind Om Tom. Bringing Alina to Jakarta, is that harmless?"

"I don't know, if everything would be like this. He was sick at the time, wanting to stay with me. So I brought him here" Ghani replied slowly.

"Frans is not as good as its profile. He was the mastermind behind the accident that befell Alina's family. Actually Frans wanted to eliminate all, but on that day Alina did not come with her parents, so she survived. But then, Frans threw it away, and I think it's also for his life." Livay said at length.

"Revandio Son, Alina's father, he was the youngest son in the Jackson family. But his physique is less than perfect, that's why his existence is not recognized. His father only gave him a few assets, and he did not even bear the name Jackson. But after growing up, he married Alsena Haliza, the only daughter of a big business man from Malaysia." Connect Livay.

Ghani still listened carefully, without saying a word.

"Alsena's parents have been gone since Alina was 2 years old. All the assets they had, they were passed down to Alsena. Frans was jealous of his sister. Then he plans to eliminate the Revan family, so that Alsena's assets fall into his hands. It wasn't Ghani's accident, it was a disguised murder. And, Tom's Om involved in this. The house occupied by Boundaries, which is none other than Alina's house. That's one of the wages that Frans gave, for his hard work and loyalty all along." Livay continued the story until it was finished.

"Where do you know, about all this?" asked Ghani while looking at Livay fixedly.

"From a clear source of truth" Livay replied.

"So you have evidence?" ghani asked quickly.
