Curious, Argha grabbed and opened the contents of the brown envelope. His eyes were perfectly rounded as he read one sentence after another from the contents of the envelope.
"Damn...!!"
A cynical smile fell on the assistant's thick lips.
"You're satisfied now!" Bram said with his cynical tone.
Argha silence. He looked back at the paper in his hand. It was written that the woman's name was Celine Hadikusumah, aged 24. The daughter of a businessman named Arman Hadikusumah and Shella. Graduated in economics and worked in his father's own office.
The envelope also includes a photocopy of her birth certificate, complete with all school diplomas, from Elementary to University level. Argha threw the papers until they fell on the floor.
"Wait!" If she is the daughter of Arman Hadikusumah, that means, she still has the same kinship bini cave. Is that true?" ask Argha.
Bram nodded in response to Argha's question.
"Damn! What does he mean to do all this? And where did he get Na's picture?" ask Argha annoyed.
"One thing you should know, Ar! All this time, the girl hated your wife. The news was the cave got from a very reliable source. For the business from where he got the photo of Na, you don't have to think about it. Looking at her background alone, it was likely that the girl was envious of you. It seems, he is trying to destroy your marriage" Bram replied.
"But the cave is still curious, Bram. All this time, who knew the relationship of the cave with Na, only lo, Kevin and Ale. And the photo was just a cave and Na had it. Why is the photo in his hand. Did he ever meet Na? Or did Na give him the photo to make a cave mistake?"
"It's Ar, you don't have to overthinking that cake! Whatever the reason, forget him! Forget Na! You have to realize that you're not a single man anymore. You have Gintan now, and you take full responsibility for the girl!"
"Gilinda...! Oh my.... Now, what should the cave do, Bram? Turns out... Gintan ngehindarin cave because he heard the cave delirious name Na that night," said Argha.
"What! Ish, you really are, Ar! It is only right if you ask to separate the bed. Cave no ta__"
"Oh... ! Now I know why Gintani came to me. Apparently, her husband was no longer careful to look after her!"
Suddenly, Alex was already standing in the doorway. A moment later, he moved his feet closer to his two best friends.
"Well, why are you here?" ask Argha cynically.
"So, I wanted to ask you for an explanation. But as it turns out, what I just heard, it was enough to be an answer to Gintan's arrival today."
Emotionally, Argha stood up and grabbed the collar of his best friend's shirt.
"What do you mean?" ask Argha growled.
"Get rid of your dirty hands, Ar!" alex said as he pulled Argha's hand from his collar.
"Hey, relax Bro!" Bram grabbed Argha's shoulder. "We'll listen to what Alex has to say!" bram said, trying to cool the situation down.
"I've warned you Ar, but why don't you ever heed everything? Look, if you can't appreciate Gintan, you better let him go now! It's enough you've given the girl a cut!"
Argha was getting emotional.
"What do you mean, huh? Ooh.... cave knows, you want to snatch him from the cave, right? Long ago, you liked him. Unfortunately, you never have enough money to have it. Aye, right?"
Bugh....!
A hard punch landed right on Argha's jaw.
"Your asshole, Ar! I'm not as low as you think! From long ago until now, I had never looked at Gintan as a woman. To me, he's just the brother I have to protect. I'm really disappointed in you. Is that how you look at your own wife? Just so you know, Ar... He sold his pride not for his pleasure, but to save his grandfather's life!" alex shouted full of emotion. His face was red with anger.
"Wait on! What's the matter? Selling self-esteem? What are you guys talking about? Is there something the cave doesn't know?" Bram asked, astonished.
Alex took a breath for a moment. Unasked, he landed his ass on the guest sofa.
"Sit down!" pinta Alex with her chilling. Among them, only Alex was the one who always acted with a cold head.
"Explain everything I don't know!" pinta Bram's. "Don't we ever promise if there will never be a secret in our friendly relationship!" bram again.
Alex took a deep breath. After that, he exhaled it slowly. He looked at his two friends in turn.
"Honestly, I never wanted to bring up that past. Because, everything will only expose the disgrace of the two people I love so much. But there's one thing I need to get straight, so that our best friend doesn't always have a petty look at a woman" Alex said, staring hard at Argha.
"Firstly. Wira's grandfather was held hostage by a loan shark because of his daughter-in-law. His wife Arman borrowed 300 million in exchange for Gintan's match with Broto.
"Broto...? Broto the mafia boss?" bram asked, surprised.
Alex nodded his head.
"You know Ar. working in the PUB is not what the girl wants. But he had an obligation to fund the treatment of his grandfather who had kidney failure. For her grandfather's sake, Gintani willingly did not continue college and work as an office girl in your company. But unfortunately, just because your ego is hurt, you fired him without consideration. That day, I even saw the woman you thought was Na herself, she slapped and blamed Gintani on the night of the kidnapping. Even her mother kept pressuring Gintani to pay her debt immediately because Gintan refused to marry Broto. I and the PUB boys have been trying to raise money. But everything is lacking. Apparently, Broto wants his money back along with interest of 500 million. But..."
Alex hangs up his words. His mind drifted back to the time of Gintani's downfall.
"Yet...?" argha asked with emphasis.
"But for some reason, suddenly Gintani asked me to find a pimp." replied Alex, shrill.
"What!!"
Shouted Bram and Argha together.
"You remember the viral video of him, when he was hit by Mrs Rosmah?" alex asked his two best friends.
Argha and Bram nodded.
"Hhh. because of the video Gintani was expelled from his village. Three times he felt the bitterness of being driven away. First, when you for nothing drove Gintan out of your company. Second, when he was kicked out of his aunt for refusing an arranged marriage with Broto. And the third, she was expelled because she felt threatened if Gintani would tease their husband. The video destroyed his image. You can imagine the vile slander that plagued him at that time. And at the same time, Broto threatened Gintani, if within 1 x 24 hours Gintani did not pay his aunt's debt, then Broto would sell all the organs of Wira's grandfather. That's the real fact Ar! That was the reason he was persecuting himself. And if I'm to be honest, none of this would have happened if you hadn't fired him unilaterally!" press Alex at the end of the sentence.
Argha and Bram are shocked to hear all the truth about Gintani's past. They did not expect that the beginning of the suffering of the girl was the arrogance of a selfish CEO. For a moment, Argha and Bram looked at each other regretfully. Argha lowered his head, I don't know what he was feeling right now.
"Then what happened, Al?" bram asked, getting curious. "What do you mean by persecuting yourself? What did the girl do?"
Bram's question is so hot. He realized that he also had a hand in all the suffering that approached the girl.
"Hhhh, I think Argha knows better what happens to that girl."
Bram shifted his eyes. He stared hard at his boss. "Don't you tell me you ruined his life!" bram said grimly.
Bram was already suspicious when Argha never entered the office to coincide with the disappearance of Gintani.
Argha lowered his head.
"Grotto swamp, Ar!" shouts Bram snatching Argha's suit.
"Sorry!" that's all that came out of Argha's mouth.
"Damn! Fuck you, Ar! You really can take advantage of that weak girl! Shit!!"
Bugh...!
Feeling upset, Bram took part in a raw bogem on Argha's right jaw until Argha fell down. Really, Bram feels so guilty for being part of his best friend's selfishness. Bram is only able to sit weakly after knowing all the truth about the girl he has been fired for no reason at the behest of his boss.
"I'm sorry, Miss!"
