Grasping Longs
Part~8

"Are you okay, son ?" ask Herman to Ricko.

"Ricko, not intentionally well." said Ricko scared.

Herman was surprised to see Demian, the owner of the company he worked for. With a little bowing his head he greeted Demian who also seemed to look at him with a view he could not understand.

"Mr Demian." said Herman.

While Demian only responded to Herman's greeting with a nod of his head.

While Monica who saw the arrival of Herman seemed to smile cynically, in any case the man was just an ordinary employee. Unlike the husband who is in fact an entrepreneur as well as the owner of a company with thousands of employees.

"Good, if you've gathered all here. So I want accountability from you as her parents" he said cynically.

"Madam better we listen to the explanation from his gym teacher directly, how is the real incident ?" Ariana.

"Truely the fathers and mothers from earlier I want to explain but did not get the opportunity at all. So this is actually when Ricko got a turn to throw the ball suddenly Olive into the field and accidentally the ball hit his face" said the sports teacher.

"That's impossible sir, indeed my son foolishly wants to harm himself. Look at my son getting battered like this." murmured Monica.

"It's just the usual bruise the mistress gave the ointment will also improve." said Ariana.

"Alright then I ask for 10 million compensation to you" he said again with a loud voice that immediately made Ariana look cynical at him.

"So you want to blackmail me, isn't my son innocent too ?" ariana was upset.

"Hey village people you hear yes, my son from birth every sick always get treatment with the best and expensive drugs so it is natural that I ask for a change that much." said Monica.

Hearing Monica's words Ariana's anger immediately peaked, from earlier he tried not to look at Demian even though the man did not blink at all staring at him.

But this time Ariana could not stand it, how could the wife of the son of a bitch do arbitrarily like that.

Ricko who incidentally is also the biological child of the man, every sick only use herbal medicine around the house because of the limited money he has.

But instead the other children get treatment that is so expensive, by strengthening his heart Ariana stared intently at Demian as if this was a form of protest at the man.

While Demian seemed to swallow his own saliva, when their eyes met. Instantly he felt his heart beat passing as if he wanted to jump from his place.

He was not strong enough to get the look of hatred from the woman who had crushed his heart and carried half of his soul away for so many years.

Mm

With a slight thump Demian tried to improve his mood, then he started to open his voice.

"I think this problem is settled and there is no need for compensation" he said, who immediately received a protest from his wife.

"Darling, didn't I hear wrong. Why are you defending them ?" grunt Monica.

"I'm not defending but it's not that it happened and the boy is innocent" Demian said, staring at Ricko in Herman's arms.

"True Om, I testified." suddenly Bryan who was in fact the upperclassman from Ricko appeared to enter the UKS room with Angel who had pushed Olive into the field.

"Bryan ?" Demian muttered, Bryan is the son of his best friend Gilang Adithama.

Gilang is a male figure who makes Demian close to Ariana even though in a different way that is 'a bet'.

"So you saw all that happened, son ?" ask Ariana.

"True auntie, I was watching second grade working out on the field and I noticed when Ricko threw the ball suddenly Angel pushed Olive into the field." Bryan explained.

"True aunt, I'm sorry I was just kidding" said Angel while looking down.

"You're not lying, are you ?" sulcan Monica doesn't believe it.

It could be Bryan and Angel who incidentally Olive's friend from Orok actually defended Ricko the new village boy in his acquaintance.

"We're not lying auntie." Bryan and Angel said.

Ariana seemed to smile cynically looking at Monica. "All right, so now there's no problem, right? do you not intend to apologize to my son for accusing him and yelling at him" Ariana said, glancing at Demian.

Apparently before entering the UKS room earlier, Ariana had stolen hearing how Demian and his wife yelled at her son and it made Ariana hate the man even more.

"Don't dream." Sardonic Monica, while Demian looks mute. There was a feeling of guilt and prestige in his heart.

"Please ma'am by chance the school hours are over." he said.

"Excuse me, let's go home." take Ariana gently to Herman and Ricko.

Herman seemed to nod his head for a moment looking at Demian, then he passed away with Ariana and Ricko.

Seeing the happy little family, Demian seemed to clench his hands full of anger.

Then without a word Demian directly out of the UKS room left his son and wife.

"Mas, wait for the mas. Where are you going ?" screaming Monica panicked, she immediately invited her daughter to chase after her father.

Demian who was sitting next to the steering chair with Victor was seen staring furiously at Ariana who was seen riding a motorcycle with Herman.

"Sir, are you okay ?" ask Victor to worry.

Not yet he replied, Monica and Olive had already gotten into his car.

"Why leave us? why did you shut up not to defend Olive. Don't you feel sorry for our son." lamented Monica.

"Be quiet, Mon, otherwise you can take a taxi home." hick Demian.

Hearing the snapping of her husband, Monica instantly fell silent. She seemed to be squeezing her skirt withholding anger.

"And you Olive next time don't be like that again, did Daddy ever teach you to lie ?" snapped Demian.

Olive looked terrified in the arms of her mother. "I'm sorry Olive, Dad" he said, sobbing.

Demian seemed to sigh, then he told Victor to drive forward his car.

"Thank you, I've come to Ricko's school" Ariana said when she reached her home.

"It's okay, Rin, Ricko, I think I'm like my own son." said Herman.

After a short chat, Herman said goodbye.

On the other hand, after driving his son and wife home. Demian went back to his office.

The man appears to be throwing his body in his seat of greatness. "I've been looking for you for years, Ariana. It turns out you've been preoccupied with marrying another man."

"I love you, Ariana, why is it so hard" she cried again.

"Arrghhh."

Demian seemed to scream in frustration while throwing all the objects on his desk to scatter to the floor.

Then he got up from his seat, and took a bottle of wine from the closet behind him. After that, he took it a few times.

Until the night Demian did not come out of his room, making Victor very worried.

Not thinking long, Victor immediately entered the room of his superior.

"Sir, you're fine."

Victor was surprised to see that his boss' room looked like a ship had broken up and he was even more surprised to see Demian appear inebriated.

"Let me drive home, sir." said Victor as he pulled Demian out of his room.

Luckily the employees have all gone home, so do not witness the current state of the boss who will definitely affect the image of the man later.

Arriving at her home, Monica greeted her husband with concern. Because Demian doesn't usually drink to be drunk like this.

After Victor escorted Demian to his room, he immediately returned to his office to clean up the mess that his boss had done.

Monica looks to review her smile when she sees her husband unconscious in bed.

"Maybe these are the days I've been waiting to have you, baby."

He muttered while releasing the pee of Demian's shirt one by one.
