A TWISTED MIND'S
Chapter 2 Preparing to Return

Tok tok tok tok

"Excuse me, Mr. Hasan."

A girl stepped carefully into the company leadership room where she worked. He just got a call to face his boss.

"Oh..Venus, please sit down!" Following the orders of her superior, she hesitantly sat down in the chair that was already available in front of the middle-aged man's desk which she had called Mr. Hasan.

The cute little girl typical of Asian women in general was squeezing anxiously her two hands that were clinging to her lap.

"Sorry sir, what did you call me here?" Doubtfully Venus ventured to voice her head that had been circling like a top since she was first told by the company's leadership secretary to immediately face.

Not because of what, the problem is, this is the first time for him to be called personally to the leadership for almost 4 years he served in the company where he worked.

"Did my secretary not tell you yet mean I called you here?" Ask Mr. Hasal whose eyes and hands are still focused on the 11-inch screen before him.

Venus shakes.

Mr. Hasan then stopped his busy life and opened his glasses to focus on Venus.

"Alright.this..." A brown envelope is thrust in front of Venus.

"From next week you will join the headquarters, so prepare yourself as soon as possible because in 2 days you will be dispatched to Jakarta. That's your assignment letter!" Mr. Hasan explained.

"Ma..I mean my father was mutated? To.to Jakarta, sir?" Venus was still in shock to hear her superior's words.

Jakarta, the name of a city that he had buried in his memory at the same time as his steps left the city.

"Yes, why? Do you mind? Do not all employees like you have the same goal of working in the capital of this country?" Asked Mr. Hasan furrowed both his eyebrows. There was a clear look of objection on Venus' face.

Venus shakes.

"Okay sir, I'll consider."

Brakkkk.

"Venus Aerglo Sanjaya! This is an order, not an offer you can consider!" Furious mr. Hasan. He did not want to accept the word rejection because the assignment of Venus to the headquarters is a direct order by the highest leadership of this company. He did not want to be considered unable to handle one employee if until Venus refused.

"Good sir, fine. As per orders I will get ready soon!"

There is no more resistance from the mouth of Venus. He is aware of his duties and obligations as an employee in this company.

Maybe his destiny is like this. As much as he refused to return to the city, but fate actually pushed him hard to return there immediately.

"Are you ready, baby?"

Ask a middle-aged woman who has replaced my mother and father for the past 15 years. Although her age has been consumed by time, but her beauty is still perfectly printed adorning her shady face, the radiance of affection from her gaze is so warm.

"Yes mother, God willing I am ready. Thanks for everything all this time!"

Ah, I can't hold back my tears every time I remember the kindness of the woman in my arms right now. He devoted his entire body to protecting and raising his best friend's child.

"Mother thank you, hmmm." It's always like that he said whenever I thanked him. Somehow as close and strong as what his relationship with my father and mother in the past so that he can give me love and affection so great since life without my parents.

I could only re-attach my arms to his body, spelling out every readable character from every stroke of his affection.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me? I'm afraid I'll have to be alone there." I asked again after breaking our embrace. It was hard to leave him after so many things he sacrificed for me so that it could be what it is today.

Mother Aisyah shook her head and wiped away the tears that had run down the river on her cheeks.

"Mother's job is done, baby. Now it is time for you to take back the life they have forcibly taken. It's not about revenge, but it's about putting something back where it should be. Do you understand?" There was a clear liquid that bathed his wrinkled face.

I nodded for sure, it was my duty and obligation to take back what had been my right. I've been hiding here for too long. And now it's time to come back after struggling for years to gain the trust of the branch office I worked for was chosen to be the lucky one to be pulled into headquarters, the place where I should be. Not as an ordinary employee, but as the owner of the company.

"Yes mother, I understand. Pray for me that the way is open and that what we plan to achieve will be as we all hope."

"Aamiin. Mother's prayer always accompanies your every step. Remember, you must be careful, do not be rash to take steps. Slow down, get to know your enemy deeply. Although the information from our informants there is already detailed, but we must still leave room for uncertainty to always be vigilant."

Right what Mother Aisyah said, learning from the mistakes of the father in the past, too confident, too confident, he trusted the people at his side so much that he turned a blind eye to the mistakes of those closest to him. Being kind to everyone is necessary, but that does not mean we ignore the worst possibilities that can come anytime.

"And another one." mother Aisyah again said, "The Blue Ocean is still declared memory loss until this moment, she could not remember all the events before the tragedy, so don't let your guilt for him ruin all our plans. For through him you will meet your true enemy."

I nodded in understanding.

"I'll do the best I can, Mother. For my mom and dad. I promise to give them justice." Firmly without hesitation, that promise was always imprinted on every breath of mine.

"It's late, get some rest."

"Yes, it's a little bit more, mother!" I said as I tidied some things into the suitcase that I was going to take to Jakarta.

Not a lot of my luggage, just a few pairs of office and home clothes and all the important files that will support my work and guidance are there.

I just need to take myself there, because from the information I get at the office, all the facilities of my life there will be borne by the company, starting from the place of residence, he said, operational vehicles and including living costs.
