After You Go
4. Start Again

There was a room in the big house, which Alan made an office. More precisely, Zia who more often use the room in helping Alan take care of his company. Or sometimes Alan works there when he has to overtime.

Alan walked into the room. Teresa was checking something in the safe.

" What's up?"

" Alan, look...Wungu K-Kencana...Wungu Kencana is gone! "

deg

Alan's blood rippled, he rushed to check the contents of the safe. The jewel of Kencana Wungu, a necklace worth 13 billion that Alan got from the auction, was already gone.

Alan could hardly believe it, he double-checked several times, but still did not find it.

" It must be Zia! Yeah, it must be him! It must be that poor woman who took it! "

" Don't speculate too quickly. Maybe you forgot to keep it, "

" It's impossible! I'm pretty sure you kept it in this safe. You put it in yourself at that time! "

Alan mused. It's true that Alan kept it in the safe. But other than her family, no one knows the password of the safe, including Zia. At least, Alan had not told Zia about his password yet.

" We need to go to the police! " Theresa hurried to get her phone.

" No! " prevent Alan

Teresa cringed.

" He's not the culprit! "

" How can you say that? Just him, the only stranger in our house,"

" That's enough! "

" If it is Zia who takes it, let it be. I did buy Kencana Wungu for him. It's just.., I haven't found the right moment to give it, "

Even Farhan never gave such expensive jewelry, inner Teresa. Forced, Teresa canceled her call to the police station. But, in the mind of this cunning woman, she still had many ways to take down Zia, whether Zia was guilty or not.

Alan spread his gaze around the room, nothing changed. Everything was as neat as the last time he entered the room. Even the card that Alan gave for Zia's monthly needs, was still lying in the drawer untouched. Other than a few documents, none of them were missing.

Thinking about it all, Alan became even more moody. There was a feeling of tightness as well as annoyance that enveloped his chest. All this time, he felt that he had given his best to Zia. But as it turns out, Zia took nothing from him except just what was needed.

" Mom is sorry for her loss...! Huft, but yeah, I don't think that's a bad thing."

Alan remained silent. She did not think that it turned out that her mother was feeling very dissatisfied with Zia. All this time, Alan thought, his family had made peace and willing to accept Zia.

" What are your plans for marriage? The invitation is already spread, we can't possibly cancel it right? "

" I don't know! " said Alan, flat.

" Ehmm, okay! You take it easy, I have many acquaintances who can replace Zia to be your bride. And, they were all honorable women. You just have to choose it. I'll arrange everything for you. Hows it? "

" I love Zia, Mom! " flat, but very pressing.

Teresa gulped, barely believing what she heard. Why is this kid so stubborn? After all the effort he made to kick the poor girl out of their lives, it turned out that Alan was still unmoved.

Bramasta Group Building

" This month, our shares are up two percent, but...! "

In a large room, Raditya Bramasta, the heir to the Bramasta Group, was leading a company meeting. He felt lazy and caught off guard by the rambling report.

Just as he was about to comment, suddenly his lips were restrained due to a call coming into his phone. Raditya glimpsed, his eyes widened in almost disbelief. Everyone who saw it, was astonished and wondered in their hearts. What makes the handsome charismatic young man look restless and lose his composure?

" i...I want to go home! "

Across the phone, a woman's voice sounded. One sentence that slid from his lips, sounded so pitiful in Raditya's ears.

Raditya's eyes grew darker, there was a turbulent taste in his chest that was hard to describe. Between sad, happy, and angry, mixed as if tore off all his feelings.

The atmosphere became tense seeing the change in attitude of their CEO, but no one dared to ask.

' Tracks! '

Somewhat rudely, Raditya closed his laptop. He stood up and walked towards the exit.

The sudden boisterous atmosphere was restrained, all eyes following where Raditya was walking. Shinta, his personal secretary, rushed to follow in confusion.

Almost, Shinta hit Raditya, when suddenly Raditya who had come out of the room, just turned around and went back in.

Raditya stared intently at everyone who started to row.

" The meeting is adjourned until next week. Prepare a good presentation! " his voice was loud, firm and full of pressure. Silent moment!

" Shya! "

" I, yes, sir! "

" Sort the rest! "

" Miko! "

" Yes, sir! " Miko, Raditya's right hand, was facing full tension. This is really serious!

" Prepare the car and special escort. Hurry along! "

Special escort? It's really unusual! Special Supervisory Status, it would involve at least a hundred luxury cars with two hundred security people.

" good, Sir! "

Miko rushed, there should be no slightest mistake, he thought. What the hell is this really?

" Where are you now? " ask Raditya while walking towards the elevator.

" Lake edge Green Gardens Village ! "

The tech! Raditya's steps stopped.

" I'll be there soon! "

Don't know what's changed, but Raditya looks increasingly grim. Miko who followed him from behind, was getting more and more depressed.

" Prepare the helicopter ! "

" Okay, Master!"

Miko gets more confused, but she can't do anything but just obey.

" And remember, tell people to unload this elevator. Replace it! "

Raditya kicked the elevator door. I can't wait for the elevator doors to open. His attitude was truly very unusual!

" Okay, Master! "

" Who would dare to use the CEO elevator? I'll look for him later and make a calculation with him! " inner Miko.

Fifteen minutes later, a helicopter flew from the roof of the Bramasta Group building.

Elsewhere, people were boisterously talking about a girl standing on the shore of a lake. It's been an hour. The girl looked upset, her gaze was blank. People were worried that the girl was going to commit suicide. Rumors have it that someone committed suicide by jumping into a lake.

" Would we call the police?" ask a middle-aged woman.

" Ehmm, how is it? "

" Try you guys over there and persuade him! " the other sahut.

" You guys, I don't dare! "

" I think I've seen that girl before,"

" Yes, so am I. Isn't that the future son-in-law of the Pratama family. Looks like I saw her on tv when she got engaged, "

" What? What do you mean, she's the Cinderella of the Pratama family? "

" It's not wrong anymore. That's really him! "

" So that's the poor girl who tried to deceive the Pratama family? What a shit about the Pratama family ! "

" Right, we better not care about it, then even go along with shit, "

" Dh, amit-amit bye! Good thing it's not my son who got the bad girl's magic! "

" So how are we now ?"

" Oh, let it be if he wants to kill himself. It's none of our business! "

However, people's guesses turned out to be wrong. Not long after that, there was a helicopter that landed on the edge of the lake. People look in amazement! Although not a foreign thing, but seeing a helicopter from such a close distance is quite fantastic.

Moreover, when they saw a handsome young man in an expensive suit get off the helicopter. From his appearance can already indicate that the status of the person is not unusual.

" Isn't that Raditya Bramasta from the Bramasta group? "

" It looks similar! But what's he here for? "

The girl immediately ran towards Raditya and hugged him. His teary eyes were no longer able to withstand the cries, tears were breaking out.

" I'm home! " whiff.

Raditya's feelings were stirred up, he was speechless. His two hands that were stopped in midair, slowly touched the girl's body, hugging tightly.

" It's okay... All.. will be fine now,"

People who saw the scene, instead took a video with his smartphone. They use it through social media.

A girl who wants to kill herself, a girl who looks like a prospective daughter-in-law of the Pratama family embraced by a handsome man, Raditya Bramasta has found a handler, are they really dating? Is it an affair?

Such are some of the titles published by people through their social media accounts. And, the news went viral instantly.

" Look, they're leaving! " shouted a young man who saw Zia and Raditya get on the helicopter.

Not long after, the helicopter left, flying away from it was witnessed by people leaving all questions.
