Episode 88's

“If patching, I often see it come night visit—“

“Oh he only visited for a while. Late at night Icha did not invite him into the house. Take it easy sir! we were just chatting outside. Icha often come home late at night because of work and college and Bayu also often come out for assignments so our time to meet during the day is rarely—“

“Ya yes. I know this non Icha is busy working and college. It's okay, I know his son is kind and polite.” Mr. Sanjaya glanced at Bayu and smiled seductively at me. I can only respond with a small smile.

Then Bayu turned around and stepped closer to me as he looked at Mr. Sanjaya and said. “Pak, me and the team members ask permission to be at Icha's house tonight. We will do an investigation around here.”

“Oh you guys will directly do the investigation here?”

“Yaa, there are steps we have to do now, if you wait for the morning will be many people.”

“I understand. If so stay how the host only.” Mr. Sanjaya glanced at me.

“Tomorrow my own morning which will directly convey the results of his investigation to mr.” Bayu continues who can be a satisfied nod from Mr. Sanjaya and the others.

My eyes glanced at the three members of Bayu were trying to bring the criminal into the car while the other two people checked Bayu's jeep.

I missed Bayu and Sanjaya's next conversation when those people were saying goodbye to me and Bayu for them to continue with the night duty.

After the four men walked away from us, I glanced at Bayu, looking up at him in confusion. “I never said that the father who was the chairman of RT here. You knew from the beginning?”

“No. I'm just guessing.”

“Thank you? What if you guess wrong? Won't you later offend him?”

“Because I'm sure that my guess is correct.”

“So? Why does it feel like you're being creepy because your guess is right.” Bayu laughed in response to my words. His hands raised rubbed the top of my head.

“It's easy. He who is seen to have charisma while talking among others.” I frowned suddenly thinking again about who just now was swarming.

But my shadow came to a halt as I felt Bayu's hands moving around me, wrapping them along my shoulders then his right palm rubbing the back of my head and a kiss touching the side of my head.

The fresh fragrance of her perfume and aftershave was smelled by me. Then he let go of his embrace and passed by without waiting for my reaction, the man walked up to one of the cars carrying the criminal.

I clucked and stared at him for a while before deciding to open the gate of the house. How many times has my face warmed up like this!!

Just as I was about to enter, Bayu restrained me and let her first enter the house to check on the situation. I who followed him from behind was only fixated on staring at his wide and high sturdy back.

He walked confidently.

I secretly smiled a little at him, proud of course.

My daydream came to a halt as my forehead hit his back involuntarily. I looked up as I frowned at what made him stop suddenly.

We stood in the doorway of my room and how shocked I was to see my father lying on the floor beside my bed. His breathing was regular and his clothes were neat as usual, still wearing a shirt and tie.

I stepped closer, crouching down to check on her condition. It's possible that the criminal gave the dope to my father while he was checking my room while Bayu turned around.

Supposing that again dad came sneaking in here made my heart ache. The treasure that Aunt Rose inherited, my origin that turned out to have something to do with big companies made my father and mother hate me.

“Halo.” The greeting of the familiar man's voice in my ear disperse my daydream.

“Oh Hello Jack.” I answered remembering about him who had checked me in the village at that time. He's a member who has a specialist military doctor among the members of Bayu's team.

“How is it?” I asked after noticing her who was checking on Dad.

“Everything's normal, he's been drugged. The dosage is not too high, he will wake up soon.” His reply showed a small handkerchief tucked between my father's palms, I didn't notice.

I'm nodding. “Thank God! Jack, can you help me lift her up in bed?”

“Sure, let me just lift it.”

But I didn't let him raise my father alone, I helped him by holding his other father's hand.

“One more time thank you.”

Jack smiled broadly at me and nodded, then he turned around leaving me both in the room. Now I could clearly see the sweat drenching his forehead, seeing how the look on his face while asleep like this felt extremely rare.

I never imagined being able to stare at my father's face while sleeping. Moreover, this face that was no longer young.

Hearing the sound of a slow knock from the door made me turn to find Bayu who was leaning on the doorway. I walked over to him and closed the door. “How?”

“Some people of my team will be on guard in this area after checking everything. After making sure everything was in order, they would return soon. And some people are taking the criminal to the base. I'll be on guard here.”

I'm nodding. “So why are those criminals here? Who are they?”

Bayu rolled his eyes as if he was thinking the right word. “I'm not sure who, but from my guess it was Rey.”'s errand

“They want to kidnap me? Why should I be home? I was outside all day?”

“In addition they can't take you when you're in a public place, they don't want to make a furore. Their chance to approach you when you're home alone.”

“Caused.” I muttered as I walked into the kitchen. Bayu followed my steps.

“I'll make you drink. Coffee or tea?” I offered because a faint sound of commotion was heard inside this house, which was usually this house always quiet.

Bayu smiled at me and helped me prepare some glasses.

…

I don't know what they're talking about, it's just that tonight when the time showed past midnight, Bayu and his team asked me for permission to discuss something in the front living room.

They look very serious when at this hour people should be sleepy. I myself am not sleepy. Although my body asked to rest but strangely I did not want to lie down at all.

Later in the morning I have to start work, Bayu has been forcing me to sleep and he will be watching here but I really do not want to. Now that I was sitting on the dining table chair, from where I was sitting I could see what those people were doing.
