Beautiful Doctor, Marry Me!
Chapter 29 Strong Looks Weak
"Han, we'll go to Ray's house for a while." Caraka orders her private driver. They drive expensive cars that are also facilitated by Ray.
"Good, mas."
Caraka deliberately asked to be picked up sooner than usual. Last night, after she found out that Sabella and Devi were going overseas with Ray's help, she suddenly had trouble sleeping.
Caraka guessed how Ray could know the whereabouts of the two of them and how the 60-year-old man took the initiative to send Sabella to a very distant country.
Caraka is invited in by the housekeeper who opens the door for her.
Caraka walks inside and is asked to sit with Ray in the back seat.
"Tumben is here early in the morning?" Ray's question welcomes Caraka's arrival. Caraka sat down with Ray.
"Finally thank you for sending Raihan along with the car." Caraka laughed a little.
"Honestly, I don't feel good. But I knew I'd get in more trouble if I refused." Caraka laughed again.
"Well, you know! If you refuse, I'll send 6 bodyguards at once" Ray replied jokingly.
"Om, sorry before...." Caraka's getting serious.
"I just want to ask, how do you know about Sabella's whereabouts while I say that she's been abroad?" Caraka asked a little hesitantly, afraid that Ray misunderstood.
Ray smiled a little. "From his friends, ah. om, from his assistant."
Caraka rounded her eyes. "If he can tell you, it's not impossible that he'll also tell Daffin, Om."
Ray smiled a little. "He's loyal, Brother!"
"She just told me after om said that om would help her. After I tell you who om really is and the purpose of sending the girl abroad is solely to protect the girl."
"Then..."
"Om send people directly to where they are. Om immediately asked the man to take him to a place where Sabella and her friend could start a new life."
"You worried?" Ask Ray.
Caraka shakes. "Not to worry, it's just too much trouble om!"
"I'm not troubled, Sis!"
"It shouldn't just be your job to protect that girl. But I also feel I have to take responsibility."
"The Daffins haven't reached the island yet."
"Om know?" Caraka asks in surprise because Ray can tell that Daffin's men have not yet sought Sabella to the island.
Ray laughs. "If we're close to a friend, we should be closer to the enemy!"
Caraka frowned
"Don't think!" Ray laughed at this overly straight man.
Ray once told Rion that Caraka was the second person to be too straight after Nair among the young men's society. And it still happens today.
"Just focus on the job and stay alert."
Caraka nodded. Ray's advice is not much different from Shaka's. That's alert.
Caraka says goodbye, along with Chiara who will also say goodbye to Ray.
Caraka could only look down because she dared not look at the girl she loved right in front of the girl's parents.
Not wanting to be a coward, but he realized that he was not worthy.
"Pi, Chia's leaving first." Pamit Chiara kissed Ray's back.
"Don't forget to come, Pi. At 10:30 we will meet with the team of doctors, hospital management and including Mr. Abraham" Chiara warned Ray.
"Yes. I forgot about papi, darling. Papi's coming with mami."
Caraka and Chiara walked out of the house together.
"What's the chat with papi, Bang?" Chiara asked first as she realized the man beside her looked a little different from earlier.
Caraka looked at Chiara for a moment. "No, just say thank you for giving me a personal driver."
Chiara nodded and her mouth rounded saying "oh" without a sound.
***
The Danadyaksa hospital.
In the meeting room, Ray could see the faces of Abraham and Daffin showed no trace of guilt at all.
The face they once showed, yes, when they just started cooperation first and when there was no relationship between Daffin and Chiara.
So quickly did Daffin ignore Chiara. It was seen from how the man was not at all awkward, did not feel guilty and did not show the slightest worry.
Daffin and Chiara look like two people who don't know each other. Ray could only sigh heavily.
This meeting discussed about hospital equipment that they will order for stock in the next few months.
"Until the time that has not been determined, Rion will still take care of this hospital."
"Chiara can't believe me yet." Ray looked at his smiling little daughter.
Ray deliberately did this because he did not believe in men named Abraham and Daffin. He was afraid that the two took advantage of the situation, where Chiara was still inexperienced in taking care of the hospital.
It is not impossible for them to cheat or do cunning in this cooperation.
"So, I don't want to hear question after question circulating among the medical team and the hospital management regarding Rion's replacement with Chiara."
"Chiara, I think he still wants to go to school again..."
Chiara nodded small.
"And that's up to him."
Daffin and Abraham put on expressions that were hard to guess.
The Rion you're going to face, Abraham sir. And there must be me behind my son. Don't expect to break through our defenses.
Meeting's done. But, Abraham's request to invite them to lunch together seems not to be wasted Ray.
"Sorry, Pi. Chia has to continue the work."
Ray smiled. "Please darling! Papi won't take you, either!" Ray glanced at Abraham.
"You have to be professional. You have to keep working."
"Rion's?" Ask Ray.
Rion shook his head. "Rion has to go to the company, Pi. There are 3 more important meetings till this afternoon."
Ray and Sania have lunch with Abraham and Daffin.
They sit facing each other. The two people who failed to make the message seemed to be the attention of many people.
Is this your goal, Abraham? To let the reporters see you sit down and eat with me? Want to create an alibi for the Caraka car fire, by leading public opinion that our relationship is okay, uh?
Alright. I'm going to make this game even more fun. Inner Ray.
That's right Ray's guess. They came out of the restaurant and the media immediately scrambled to ask questions.
While Daffin and Abraham instead entered the VIP room of the restaurant on the grounds of meeting with clients.
Yeah, Ray's gonna eat with gourmand bait from them. Even Ray will just cut the hook.
Ray answers questions for the sake of the questions they ask.
"Our relationship is good. I told you, the personal affairs between our families, will not affect our work and cooperation." Ray replied with Sania who did not let out her smile in the slightest.
The smile that defined there was not the slightest bit of sadness for failing to make an impact with Abraham.
"So, if you see us together like we did, it's just for work."
Ray listened to another question.
"No! No more engagement talks." Firm Ray.
And what surprised Ray was the question of a burning car at R Cafe.
"The case is being handled by the authorities."
"On explosives and everything else, it's the owner's and the police's business."
"Because it happened at my son's cafe, so inevitably, our names got dragged along."
"And we don't want to interfere."
"Yes, the car owner is still our relative." Ray nodded in confirming.
"As for revenge or whatever it is, I don't know!"
Ray only tried to keep the media from discussing the video that has been completed by Abraham by presenting the fake witness.
So far, the media has no idea that the culprit is Caraka. And if the public knows, the problem will start from zero and the news will be crowded again.
If the case has to be reopened, then the time is not now. Because Ray's going to detonate a time bomb at the right time.
And the last question. "Is it true that the police have found the bright spot where the culprit is, sir?"
Ray shakes. "I don't know, haven't heard from the police yet."
Ray immediately left the crowd. His personal driver tries to get Ray and Sania to get into the car.
"Ray, why don't you tell them that the police have found a bright spot for the culprit."
"Darling, sometimes we have to look strong when we're weak, and look weak when we're strong."
"Let Abraham and Daffin think we are weak, but we are close to winning." Ray grinned.
"Let them relax and feel above the clouds. Because someday the facts and evidence will make them freefall from heights."
