Bima took Roy to his base. Bisma's back in her office. Alex goes to see Surya Winata. Papa Roy's.
Roy was sitting on the couch. The bond in his hand was already released. But it is certain that the man will have no intention to run away. From his face alone it can be seen that he prefers to be in the bars rather than in the hands of Bima.
An OB in a black uniform with a red stripe entered the room after knocking on the door. The OB named Harto was carrying a tray containing two drinks. Red dragon fruit juice that looks like blood juice.
Roy gulped his saliva nervously at the sight of the juice the OB was carrying. Inside his mind were all kinds of strange images in his fantasies. He even suspected that the liquid in the glass was human blood. Who became a victim of the violence of Bima. It is too high of an imagination.
“According to boss's orders. Without sugar.” Harto lowered his body in front of Bima. Saying with respect. Bima cleared his throat and waved his hand. He gestured to tell her to leave. Harto bowed once more and walked out of the room. Closing the door slowly. Letting tension take things.
Bima raised her glass. Before gulping it glanced at the trembling Roy in front of him.
“Not thirsty?” ask Bima.
“No no. I'm not thirsty.”
Bima raised her lips indifferently. Then drink the juice until half is left in the glass.
“Bring me to the police station. I will confess all my crimes.” Roy said nervously.
“You'll be there sooner or later. But before, we have prepared a surprise that will not be forgotten in the rest of your life.” Bima glanced at Roy coldly. Looked at that man.
“I don't need a surprise. I want to go to the police station only.”
“Hahaha. It's catchy. Just this time there are people who refuse to be entertained and prefer to apply to go to jail.” Bima laughed with satisfaction. Then finish the juice in the glass.
“I'd rather be in jail than be here.” Bright Roy was nervous. But he said honestly. Cold sweat continued to pour all over his body.
“Heh! Wh why? I have kindly told my men to give you dragon fruit juice so that you will have the energy to appreciate the gifts we prepared.” Roy's shocked. Stare at the red liquid in the glass once again. Her throat is dry. It had been hours without passing anything other than his own bitter-tasting saliva.
But to drink the red liquid that Bima said was dragon fruit juice still makes him doubtful. What if Bima lied to him. Especially if it contains poison.
Bima saw the man was intense. Seeing him watching the glass filled with guava juice with a look of horror made him want to laugh. He had expected Roy to imagine extreme things.
“If you don't want I'll spend it myself.” Bima raised the glass and drank it for a moment. Finish in one gulp. Even the man still wanted to tease Roy by licking the corner of his mouth that still left the juice there.
“What do you think? I am a normal person who does not drink blood. I still love dragon juice. Delicious, fresh and healthy.” Bima's explanation makes Roy gawk.

Suryo was bathed in sweat. Although many times he wiped the sweat that came out of his temple, but the temple still looks shiny due to the sweat that continues to come out. The handkerchief he was wearing was wet and could not suck his sweat anymore.
The middle-aged man was standing in front of his oversized table. As for his seat of greatness, it was already occupied arrogantly by Alex.
“So which one did you choose?” Alex asked, breaking the silence.
Thirty minutes had Suryo thought out loud. Alex asks him to choose between two equally difficult choices.
Alex today came up with the news that Roy had already been arrested by him. But not just to give him the news, Alex comes not so simple.
I don't know where Alex knows if he has a son who was born out of wedlock. His affair. For decades he had been hiding that fact from his wife and son.
Arka the name of Suryo's other son. Living with his mother in a suburban house. Suryo occasionally stopped by there while he was in his office which was quite close to the house.
Seeing his mother living as an affair makes Arka grow into a cold young man. He hated his own father.
For years Suryo hid the whereabouts of the two people from everyone. Living them secretly. And so far he has succeeded. No one suspected at all. Where did Alex know that?
Using his company as a threat, Alex asks him to expose Arka's whereabouts in public. Ask him to announce that Arka is his successor. And Roy, it's just gonna be a shadow.
But if he refused, the company he built with great difficulty would be destroyed without any hesitation. Right now, Alex is attacking him from different angles. Alex snapped his fingers a little, all his hard work would be ruined.
Suryo is not a naive person. He thinks realistically. He chose the first option. If his household is destroyed and Roy hates him, he still has Arka and his mother. Moreover, Arka's mother is younger and attractive than his wife. It will be more profitable for him.
“I will obey your orders. I will soon announce about Arka.”
“Wise choice. I thought you were a man of principle. But it turns out, ck ck ck” Alex shook his head.
“I'm just trying to think realistically Mr. Alex. Roy is a filial boy after all. He put me in trouble. Instead I have to thank you to the master for removing Roy from my life.” Suryo said confidently.
“Hahaha. I did not expect. Really not expecting.” Alex chuckles. “Hem. But considering what he did, even if he died it was not enough to avenge the losses we received.”
“Nby the way. I've arranged a press conference for Arka. The young man was here too. Complete with his mother. I hope Mr. Suryo likes a little surprise from me.” Alex clasped his hand and played his thumb.
Suryo was surprised for a moment. But after thinking about it, he calmed down. It's okay if he sacrifices his wife and Roy on this. Most importantly he can still lead the company calmly.

Bima picked up her phone which she put on the table. See Alex's name written on the screen calling. Lift it up calmly.
“Already?” tanyanya after hearing the speech from across.
“Good. I'll connect it soon.” Bima shut off the connection. Then stand up, walk to his desk and open his advanced laptop. Fiddling with her for a moment.
Shortly after that turn on the projector machine on the table. Who was just realized by Roy.
“The show will start soon. Let's enjoy.” Bima's back on the couch. Sit quietly after lighting a cigarette and smoking it.
Roy was surprised when he saw Surya's face fill the screen. Seen on the screen, the man was conducting a press conference in his office. Seeing that Roy still can't guess what will happen. But his hunch said if something bad was going to happen.
His eyes looked at a young man about the same age as him. The man had almost the same facial features as her. But he doesn't know her. He is an only child. I don't have many cousins either. And he knew his cousin. Who is the man who looks like him? Why is he standing next to his dad who looks okay?
“Well as you can see. Your father didn't feel like he lost you. He lives casually.” Bima. His face looks full of regret. But the look in his eyes showed a deep mockery.
“What do you mean? My dad can't forget me.” Roy was angry. He has always been a proud child and always looked up to.
“You how else? His son made him lose. So yeah, you know. I hope you can forgive your papa for lying to you all this time.”
“No. This is not true.”
“Syut-n. Quiescent. Listen to your papa.”
Roy looks fucked. His papa confession took him by storm. He never thought that there would be a heart where it would be so pitifully broken.
In this world, he no longer had anything.

"Roy's been punished. Now it's the turn to clean up Virly "murm Alex staring at Roy's back who was herded into prison.
