Just A Professional Relationship
S2 - Episode Ten
‘I wait in my office before 10 tomorrow.’
Nadin continuously glanced towards his watch. It has not been long since the short hand on the clock leads to the number one. I don't know why he hasn't been able to calm down since morning. But nothing bad happened at all. Or maybe not yet.
“Why are you, anyway? Daritadi watch the clock. Any appointments?” axel asked with a confused face. He accidentally caught Nadin's strange girly earlier.
“No, kok.”
“Hm... Are you bored?”
Nadin shakes. Then leaned his head on the shoulder of Axel who was sitting next to him. “I don't want to go far from you,” reply.
Axel laughed too. “Why are you suddenly spoiled gini?”
They were both sitting on a bench on the beach. A few days ago, they planned to go to that place. After Nadin somewhat whining because it has long not gone to the beach. But this time, he really couldn't enjoy it.
“Sorry yes, can take you to a nearby beach. Next, I will take you to Bali, or Lombok,” explained Axel. He still thinks that Nadin feels disappointed because he was only invited to the beach which is two hours from where they live.
“When?”
“Later on honeymoon.”
Nadin laughed too. “Don't forget to take your family too. They would want to go for a long walk.”
“Lha, honeymoon period ngajak people? You want to be followed by them every go anywhere?”
“Yaa.. We book different hotels with them, dong.”
The two continued to joke, chat with cool, and walk around while enjoying the food sold around there. Everything managed to make Nadin forget his anxiety. At least until a phone goes into Axel's phone.
Nadin clearly saw Axel's suddenly serious facial expression. Slowly began to be able to catch the look of surprise and worry on the face of the girlfriend.
“Sorry, Nadin. We have to go home now,” Axel said. He looked very rushed, taking Nadin back to his parked car.
“Why? What's up?”
“My restaurant was attended by the police.”
“Hah? How, can?”
“Entah, my employees are panicking until they can't explain well.”
Nadin did not ask anything more. He just sat down and started sweating coldly. Especially when Axel is driving at high speed.
He kept thinking, does this incident have anything to do with Frans? Or just a coincidence?
Around five o'clock, Axel and Nadin had just arrived in front of the Axel restaurant. Where many people gather. The place has been guarded by several police, and given a seal so that no one enters.
Axel employees immediately ran around when they saw the presence of the boss. They all looked panicked and were hoping for help.
Axel immediately met the police, intending to ask for an explanation. However, he was greeted with an arrest warrant.
“We got a report about drug abuse in this restaurant. You have to go to the police station,” is clearly one of the police officers who handcuffed Axel's hand before herding him into the car.
The reporters who turned out to be present first, joined the horde of people who came out of curiosity. Everything was crammed into each other, even making Nadin difficult to catch up with Axel.
Nadin immediately ran towards Axel's car, then used it to go to the police station. He kept tailing behind the police so there was no need to be left behind. Yet he was not given the chance to at least chat with Axel. The man was dragged into a room where Nadin could not enter.
“You better give an explanation! You guys can't just act like it for no reason like that!” nadin protested to one of the police. His loud voice even stole some of the other officers who were in the room.
“Please sit down for a while, Mom. I'll explain,” said the police moustached calmly. He invited Nadin to sit in front of his desk.
“Lately we are being intensively in the investigation of dark organizations that trade illegal drugs. Until finally yesterday just managed to catch one of the Bandar,” the police began to explain. “After a very long interrogation, we finally got one information about where the person distributed his merchandise. And we get the name Mr. Dion called.”
“The man said that he had sent goods several times to Mr. Dion's restaurant.”
“Why do you believe that guy's talk just like that? Could have been trying to defame Dion!”
“Yes, we certainly have done further investigation, by taking some food samples and checked in the lab. And as a result, food from Mr. Dion's restaurant positively contains the same substances as those contained in the goods of the people we caught.”
“Can I meet the person you arrested yesterday?”
“Sorry, for now I can't. The person is still in check.”
Nadin had no other option to leave the police station, as there was already nothing he could do there. Next, he just thought about calling Stefan. The only person who is most likely to help is Stefan, he thought.
“I'll ask my lawyer to help Axel. Soon we will go there,” said the silver-haired man by phone.
“Iya. Thanks, Brother.”
While waiting for Stefan to come, Nadin can only go back and forth in front of the police station— with unsettled. I hope all the problems are solved tonight.
A short time later, a black car stopped in front of him. He thinks Stefan or the lawyer he's referring to is here. But it was a man with black eyes that emerged from behind the car glass.
“Pak Frans is waiting for you in his office,” said the mysterious man with a flat tone and face.
Instantly, Nadin was convinced that all these events were Frans. Because he did not obey the words of the man.
At first, Nadin thought about staying and waiting for Stefan. However, the man who was a child made from Frans there again said. “She said this is the last chance for you. If it passes from today, the situation can no longer be corrected.”
Although Stefan might be able to save Axel, but Nadin became hesitant because it seems Frans has a very large power. He was afraid of regret if he did not obey the man's words for the second time. As a result, he got into the car and sat quietly until he reached a tall building where Frans worked.
The man with black eyes was driving Nadin's way. He stopped in front of a room and let Nadin in after opening the door.
The man who is the source of today's problems sits on his bench. Seemed busy writing something down in the pile of documents. “Oh, there is a guest apparently,” he said, pretending to be surprised.
“Not need stale base. You're the one who caused all this mess?”
Frans leaned against the back of his chair, and looked at the emotion-looking Nadin. “Kan, I told you. Come to my place on time, or you'll regret it. But you chose to test my seriousness.”
“What do you really want from me?”
The strong-faced man also got up. And walk in front of Nadin. “I told you, I want us to continue the relationship as we did in America,” he said, touching the hair of the woman in front of him.
Nadin took a few steps back. “I told you, I have nothing! There's no point in dealing with someone like me. You are even richer than me. You have everything!”
Hearing that, Frans laughed. “I know. What I don't have is just one. Namely, you.”
“Not making sense. There are many women who are much more beautiful and who are crazy about you. But I'm just an ordinary woman who wants to live a quiet life. So please don't bother me!”
“Nadin... you think, why would anyone prefer to collect classic cars than the latest sophisticated cars? You can't hit what everyone likes. If I want you, is that wrong?”
Nadin could only be silent. While remaining vigilant because Frans kept trying to step closer to him.
“Today I always got what I wanted. No one can resist or ruin it. So too with you.”
“Basic of crazy!” nadin Hardik. He intended to leave the room immediately. However, his steps immediately stopped.
“Did you see that person languishing in prison forever? Or do I help to get things back to normal as usual, tomorrow?”
For a while, the two were silent to each other. Frans waited for an answer from Nadin who was still arguing with himself.
“You can restore the situation until tomorrow morning?”
“Don't tomorrow, tonight I can finish immediately. Just stay waiting for ‘ya’ answer from you.”
