Dangerous Obsessions
01
*Flashback on*
16 Years ago, though,
Heavy rain that hit the city of A makes the afternoon atmosphere look boring. The Emperor who at that time was preparing to leave with his friend – friends could only sigh many – times in front of his home window.
Arrived – arrived he knitted his eyebrows, in the rush of rain the brother Renata Alatas seemed to hold something in his chest.
"Mother, What did Brother Nata bring with him in such haste – gesa?" His mother who was sitting holding a tea glass just stared questioningly at him. The Emperor rushed towards the front door, and opened the door.
Chequek, czech,
Renata hugged something on her chest in a drenched state. The mother Kumala who saw her daughter's form reflexively got up and approached Renata, and she seemed surprised by what she saw.
"R-re's? Whose child is this?" Kumala looked stuttered, while Renata just silently bit her lower lip. One of the housekeepers came to bring two towels and gave them to Renata and the baby.
"Re! My mother replied, whose child is this?"
Hearing her mother Renata's clasping cry as she pleased. The emperor could only look at her and try to listen to the explanation that his brother would give. He glanced at the baby as the assistant brought him inside. Unfortunately the mother's voice made the housekeeper stop and stand beside the Emperor.
"Bi, don't take the baby. Just leave it here. Now Re, replied dear mother. Whose baby is that?"
"Mothers. During this time Aldi was not right – really graduated his college in Switzerland, Aldi cheated on Nata and had a child with his affair. Now that they both finished being buried, they died in a car accident. Only this child survived. Nata wants to take care of her mom, pity this baby because Aldi family no one wants to babysit this child. Let Nata take care of her mom, Nata please." His love with a bit of a whim. Either because the sound of rain or noise in this room makes a tiny baby in the arms of the housekeeper was crying loudly. All eyes looked at him, the baby who seemed to be 2 months old was continuously sucking his hands – hands.
"Nata, we'll talk about this again. Kai please buy formula for a newborn baby huh, looks like the baby is hungry." The emperor nodded, then he ran towards his motorbike and went to the pharmacy without worrying about his cool appearance which now had to be drenched in rain water.
In the silence Kumala carried the baby in her cradle, she cradled the baby's – nimang. I don't know why there was any pity for him. He stared at Nata, his daughter who was sitting down and hugging his body with a towel.
"say. We can't take care of him. This baby still has a family, let his family take care of him." Kumala said to him. Renata looked at his mother, she was right. But what if his family doesn't care for him? The baby will be placed in an orphanage. Or even worse the baby will be thrown away?
"The Aldi family no one wants to take care of him mom. They don't accept illegitimate babies in their families." Sluggishly. Kamila glanced furiously at Renata.
"There are no illegitimate babies. They are all born holy, just because both parents made a mistake we should not brand that the baby is haram. And Renata, even if we can take care of her, I don't want to in the future they're asking this child back. There should be written rules for both. Taking care of that child is not easy Nata, especially this is not your child. I don't want you to be sadder about having to take care of the son of that traitor."
"Renata please ma'am. Don't call Aldi a traitor. It's all because of Nata's fault."
"Nata, what's your max?"
"Nata can never h-"
Clack!
The door of the Kumala residence is open. The emperor still with his helmet walked towards them in a soaked shirt. The housekeeper approached the Emperor and picked up the formula and the pacifier and immediately made it in the kitchen. The Emperor took off his helmet and stared flat at Renata.
"So, it's true that the jerk you call your fiance is a betrayal. Thank goodness she's finally ma-"
Plaque!
Renata slaps on the cheek of her little brother –. The breath up and down and also the eyes that looked red and trembling seemed to intimidate the Emperor. Unfortunately men – men do not care. He was still with flat eyes staring at his brother.
"Shut your mouth Kai. You don't know what – is about Aldi! Don't dare – how dare you speak badly with him!" he said by pressing the Emperor's chest with his index finger.
*Flashback Off*
The Emperor opened the door to his room. The spacious room with – shades of ash and white was still the same as the last time he left it. Goods – his belongings are still neatly arranged in place, and he approached his bed by dragging his large suitcase and he threw his suitcase just on the bed.
\~
Kai, your mother died of a heart attack. Go home.
The deg!
A short message from his uncle who was in Indonesia surprised him. She never heard her mother complain about her pain. There, his mother will only tell a long story about her brother's adopted son. Since the death of her sister the mother has to take care of the child herself. The real family never wanted to pick up the kid.
Kai taps – tap his work desk with the other hand propping his head. He glanced at the clock beside his desk. There can't be a flight at this hour. Even if there is, he must wait – am blind to leave from America to Indonesia.
"Alex, I have to be right – right back to Indonesia." He said while reusing his work coat, the assistant Alex knitted his forehead from behind his desk.
"Sir, you can not go where – now. Company X of Switzerland will arrive soon."
"Can you replace me?"
"Unfortunately can't sir. I'm sorry."
"****. How much longer do I have to be the old man's puppet! ****." The frustration. Alex just shook his head slowly. The emperor sighed harshly.
Cklek!
The door of the CEO's room opened, the Emperor glanced flatly at the old man who still appeared to be standing firm. His white hair and clothes that always look slippery it always looks right on his body. The old man approached the Emperor.
"Kai, your mother is me"
"Yes, I KNOW. And I can't even go home to take her to her final resting place. How LUCKY I'am." The sarcasm. The old man was silent.
"Mr Zack-"
"Sit Alex. I'll just see my son for a minute." Her speech. The old man was Zachary Sebastian.
"Listen son, I'm sorry for Kumala's death. I understand what you want, but I want you to hold on a little more. This company needs-"
"You're afraid you need me? Of course I'll hold on a little more in return for my cultivation because you're supporting me. I'll be right – finish this and then I'll lift my foot from this company." Zack took a deep breath then nodded slowly.
"Good"
\~\~\~
The emperor went down the steps of his house, after his mother's death the house automatically and all his assets fell into his hands. Do not forget that the company engaged in the field of food owned by his family is also automatically under his control.
Lunch is now neatly arranged at the dining table. His forehead creased when he saw that there was only one plate on his desk.
"So where did my dear nephew go?" he said to one of the housekeepers who brought the side dish to his desk.
"Non Abel has gone to his school from the morning sir." Bearded emperor – mangut.
"What a bad manners of an actor's son who was raised by someone else" his bad words made the house assistants who arranged lunch just elbow each other and glance at each other.
The emperor enjoyed his lunch. After eating, he got up and confirmed his clothes and grabbed his briefcase.
"Remind the girl to see me tonight. I'll talk to him about something." He told his home assistants. The emperor walked to the garage, and drove his car to his family's company.
