Long Journey of Tough Women
98. Truth

Truth is often associated with those who do good. Because only good people often embody truth through real attitudes and actions.

We may ask :"Why is truth not identified with evil people? Don't bad people sometimes do the right thing?" The answer lies in our identity and behavior in the midst of communities wherever we are. Eda Sally

"Yes! It's me." It's me." Said the person while releasing his lock on Yuana's hand.

Yuana's hands trembled and her body squeezed by itself hearing that very familiar voice. He felt very afraid and did not believe the person who was now in front of him.

"I'm sorry sir for being so presumptuous." Yuana.

"It's okay. You just defend yourself. I salute your courage. It's worth Erik desperately defending and chasing you even though you've been told to go far."

"Aahmmm! Thank you, sir."

"Why are you still calling sir? Didn't I forbid you to no longer call master to me?"

"Yes Brother Bram. Thank you." Thank you." Yuana replied a little clumsy.

"I'm sorry I took you away. If I don't do that, of course you won't survive. Because they'll only take Erik down and bring him alive, but not with you. I'm sure they'll do something that'll trouble you." Bram.

Yuana was surprised to hear Bram's secretary's explanation. He did not expect anyone to have the heart and want to complicate his life. He felt he had no enemies.

"Who would commit such a crime to me brother?" Yuana asked curiously.

"I'm sorry for this. It's not time you know, and it's very private. What matters is that you are okay now. It's made me calm."

"May I ask, brother?"

"Could only. What's up?"

"Why can you come here again? Didn't you just come two weeks ago and get us married?"

"Sit. I'll tell you everything. I hope you're not angry and hate me, Erik, or anyone." Bram's secretary said seriously.

"Say brother. I was ready to hear and accept the reality of what brother and Erik were hiding from me."

Flashbacks

Secretary Bram entered the room of the great master in a hurry. He did not want to be late for a second because he was very familiar with the great master who did not like people who were not disciplined at all, let alone related to the matter of time.

He was seen breathing a sigh of relief when he had stood up for a few seconds and the living bomb did not explode at all. It's a sign that he escaped from a live-bomb that could explode at any moment.

The secretary of Bram saw a warm aura on his face, a sign of good mood, and he was in a safe position.

"Are you ready, Bram?

"It's sir."

"Good! Remember that! No one should know what I am commanding you right now. Don't disappoint me with the task I'm giving you right now."

"Okay sir! I understand."

"Remember! You have failed once, and I will never forget your first failure. Don't fail a second time. Do you understand?" Asked the great master without turning at all towards the person who was talking to him.

"I will always remember, sir."

"Good! Do it right, and make no mistake. I trust you in everything. So, don't make my sense of faith in you disappear."

"You can go now. Don't forget to let me know if you find any important information. Investigate all the places, and report to me if there's anything you suspect."

"Okay sir! Then I'll go now." Bram's secretary said politely.

"Go! I don't need you anymore." He said in an expelling tone because he no longer needed the person in front of him anymore. Brutal right?

Secretary Bram who felt expelled, was very self-aware and immediately left the room with dignity. He just stopped by for a while and picked up his bag, then draped it in his arm and immediately entered the special elevator.

The style this time does not look like a secretary who is always familiar with suits. He looks more like a former thug who never forgets the way he dresses that makes my hair sit on people who look at him creeps.

Secretary Bram, who has been used to traveling for hours, does not feel foreign and strange about what he will experience in the next few hours. He even looks calm with his cool face and lined up with other passengers to do a check in.

His sharp eyes always watched every corner of the room to convince himself that there was no one he suspected, let alone who knew him and then followed him.

The journey he took for almost thirty hours without any rest at all, did not make his spirit saggy. He stayed on his feet to arrive faster. Therefore, when he got off the train, he looked for the nearest restaurant to eat, and it was at that moment that he met the people who were going to attack Erik, and accidentally overheard their conversation.

Flashback Off

"So, you've been following them since the restaurant?" Ask Yuana.

"It's not just that. When I got on the train, I was suspicious of a group of men whose looks were unusual. We both hitchhiked on one train."

"As soon as it came down, I didn't really care, but as soon as I saw the two people at the restaurant and heard their conversation, I was immediately suspicious, and my thoughts were on you and Erik."

"Why are you sure they're going to attack us?"

"Because I've heard the information before I came here. Which is why, I hastened my arrival to save you."

"Is this part of the master's plan?" Ask Yuana.

"Great master will not be rash by telling many people to attack you. He always uses subtle means but turns off his opponent."

"That meant my marriage to Erik was temporarily unsafe. I'm afraid brother because we're married, and I don't want us to be apart anymore."

"That's what I want to talk to you and Erik about right now. But Erik is still in the hospital and you can't go to the hospital, because it's dangerous for your safety. So for a while, you stay here until Erik recovers."

"Please don't hide anything from me, brother. I want to ask, and I hope you answer honestly." Yuana said with a trembling voice.

"Is Erik married to Celine? Because there's no way the big master told you to look for Erik to this extent if something hasn't happened to them."

"I will answer that question if Erik is healed. I promise I won't hide anything from you." Secretary Bram replied with a smile and then walked out leaving Yuana alone.
