"Carlos?" cetus Nadia was very frightened and trembling looking at Carlos who was standing right in front of her.
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, Nadia?" cetus Carlos breathed a heavy sigh.
"Last ... we met that .. when you thoughtlessly refused my invitation or dinner invitation," he continued, leaning against a wooden box.
.
"Honestly, it felt .. it hurt so much, when my invitation was rejected without further ado by a woman I liked myself. And it happened twice on the same night" he continued.
Hearing what Carlos said just now, made Nadia recall the incident of rejection done by him.

Flashback: 3 years ago.
Nadia Nayanika, 18.
Nadia had previously met Carlos. But it was a long time ago when he was a new police officer, exactly three years ago. At the first meeting with Carlos during the academy, Nadia completely ignored the man who was always looking for attention to him. He always put an indifference to all the men in his academy, including Carlos himself who almost always tried to approach him.
At the academy membership. Nadia became one of the most attractive girls by many men of her age. Even her seniors and juniors were fascinated by her beauty and meekness.
Carlos himself is one of his senior men who always try to approach Nadia in any way. And that certainly makes Nadia quite uncomfortable, even she thinks Carlos is a terrible man. Because Carlos did not hesitate to all men who dared to approach Nadia, including friends or friends belonging to Nadia herself. Of course it makes Nadia very disliked, and keeps her own fear when dealing with Carlos.
But fortunately there is Prawira who always gives help to Nadia if she is in trouble or being bullied. Prawira is the one who adopted Nadia from one of the Orphanages in the city of Metro, and Nadia herself already considers her like an Uncle.
Prawira is a very nice and mature person in Nadia's eyes, and she always helps Nadia when she is in trouble. One of them when suddenly Carlos met himself at night right in front of the Central Police Station with two people dressed all in black who seemed to be Carlos' bodyguard.
Nadia was shocked and a little frightened when she was surprised by Carlos waiting for her to leave the police station.
"Nadia" Carlos greeted Nadia as he walked out of the office. Inevitably Nadia's steps must be stopped, because Carlos suddenly blocks himself as if he must not go anywhere first.
"Um, is there ... who can ... help me?" nadia asked slowly stepping back into the police station.
"I just ... want to take you out to dinner, I hope you will go with me" Carlos said, looking at Nadia with a hopeful look.
"Ma-ma-sorry, I--" was not finished Nadia spoke, suddenly Carlos cut in by saying, "come on, Nadia. Just give me a chance once! I just want to have dinner with you at my house" he said in a slightly pushy tone.
At the right time, Prawira walked out to Nadia who seemed to be in trouble. Nadia's heart was really relieved when she saw Prawira walking up to her.
"Carlos, you're bothering him again. Aren't you satisfied after bothering her?" cetus Prawira walked and stood right in front of Nadia and faced Carlos.
"Come on, I just want to take her to dinner at my house, what's the problem?!" carlos protested against Prawira.
"Then did Nadia answer?" asked Prawira who then turned to Nadia who was hiding behind her.
"Sorry, I can't, Carlos. Because I have an appointment to meet people tonight," said Nadia by lowering her head because she did not dare to look at Carlos.
Before Carlos gives this invitation. Previously he had given the same invitation to Nadia, when Nadia was working on making a SKCK for Carlos on the orders of his superiors. But the answer Nadia gave was still the same.
"So, have you heard the answer now?" ask Prawira back.
"Curtain!" carlos looks upset. "All right, I'll just go!" he said he looked very disappointed with the answer given by Nadia.
When Carlos walked over to his car parked in the parking lot in front of the police station. Suddenly he stopped his steps and glanced sharply at Nadia who was still standing in front of the door with Prawira.
Nadia who realized getting the gaze was made quite trembling. But Prawira suddenly spoke, "if she bothers you again, just tell me, okay? Carlos is like that" he said calmly.
"Ba-well," replied Nadia nodding softly.

Nadia Nayanika, 3 years later.
"Who would have thought, it turns out that your appointment with someone at that time, was to meet my own brother," chirps Carlos while propping up his chin and glancing sharply at Nadia who was still sitting on the ground and leaning against the wall.
"In-dia ... know it ...?" nadia was shocked when she heard this.
"Ah, the past. But right now, you're with me, just the two of us here," Carlos walked up to Nadia with a hateful look.
That made Nadia very scared. He wanted to retreat, but could not because it was cornered. He wanted to stand up and run away, but could not because his leg was severely injured.
"Don't come any closer! I'll hit you!" nadia snapped though with a slightly teary look as she wished for help to come for her soon.
"Haha!" Carlos suddenly laughed out loud seeing the reaction from Nadia that was in accordance with his expectations. "The plan I've been making for a very long time, has finally materialized!" suddenly shouted.
"Nadia, it's a pity that you can't ask anyone here for help, Berlin won't hear you, Prawira won't hear you either, never mind!" carlos said with a ketus.
.
"You can scream, really!" he continued with a sharp look and a tone that sounded cruel.
Nadia was really freaking out. His eyes suddenly shed tears, and his heart repeatedly called out to Berlin. He closed his eyes for a moment and hoped that help would come.
Carlos really looks very happy and satisfied with the progress of his plan very smoothly. He also felt very satisfied when getting reports from his men about the reaction of Berlin who looked weak when Nadia became his prisoner.
"Berlin, please ...! Whoever it is, please ...! Save me ...!" his mind was hopeful as tears unwittingly dripped down his cheeks.
TAP ... TAP ... VF ...!
A man dressed in black who seemed to be Carlos's men suddenly walked up to Carlos with a news item.
"Boss, police helicopters were monitored around this place, and police negotiators were already in front" the man told Carlos.
.
"I think .. you recognize the negotiator," he continued, glancing sharply at Nadia who was sitting in the corner.
Heard the report and saw the movements of his men when delivering the report. Carlos seems to have found out who's coming. He slightly smiled cynically and said, "well, I'll see him soon."
.
"You tie his hands and feet, and keep him here!" he ordered his men to tie Nadia up and keep her there.
"Ready, Boss!" sahut his men who then immediately did as ordered.
"Deliver! Don't touch me!" nadia snapped as her hands were about to be tied.
"Shut up!" sniffed the man.
SETS.
Suddenly a very sharp knife stopped right at his neck, with a blade that slightly pierced Nadia's neck. The man looked irritated and threatening while tying Nadia up. Nadia was silent with great fear. His body could not stop trembling.
"Truly as I thought," Carlos muttered a heavy sigh, and then walked towards the front of the warehouse.
~
At 15:00 in the afternoon.
West Warehouse Shandy Shell Lake.
When Carlos walked out of the warehouse, he immediately met with Berlin who turned out to be the negotiator in question. The arrival of Berlin was predicted by Carlos himself, and in accordance with the plan he had long been compiling.
"I'm not surprised if you come here, the Golden Child of the Gates family, Berlin Gates Axel," Carlos greeted the presence of Berlin who seemed angry with him.
"Where is he?! Whatdoyouwant?!" cetus Berlin took a step closer and stared intently at Carlos.
Two of Carlos' men immediately blocked Berlin and told him to retreat to keep his distance from Carlos.
"There is no need" Carlos told two of his men. "You've confiscated his things, haven't you?" he whispered to one of his men.
"Here you go, boss," replied the man.
"Reply answer my question! What do you want, Carlos?!" berlin said with ketus.
.
"If there's a problem between the two of us, then settle it with me without having to involve him!" continued.
"It's true, Berlin. I have a problem with you, but you may forget it" Carlos said coldly.
"And if you ask me what I want. Then I ... just want to avenge me for that woman and you, Berlin," continued Carlos staring very sharply at Berlin.
Berlin was shocked to hear that answer coming straight from Carlos mouth. It may be true that there is a problem between him and Carlos, but he does not really suspect that Nadia has anything to do with this problem.
"I don't want any treasure or anything, I just want to .. take Nadia as my prisoner, and lure you to appear here in Berlin" Carlos later said. Having said that, Carlos glanced at some of his men standing around Berlin as if giving orders from his eyes.
"All right, all right, I'll comply with your request, Carlos. But, Nadia should be in front of me first!" sahut Berlin calmly and casually raised his hands slightly as if giving a sign to surrender in front of Carlos.
Carlos was puzzled by the actions Berlin had taken before him, as this was not up to his prediction. He thought that Berlin would immediately refuse to obey him and act in opposition. He told all his men to keep their distance from Berlin, and walked back into the warehouse.

"Is that our sign?" aryo asked whispering to Asep while hiding behind the bushes.
"No, our mark is only when Berlin raises and waves one hand" Asep said.
"What did Berlin do?" ask Faris to Kimmy.
"I don't know" Kimmy replied with a worried face as he watched Berlin there raise both hands.
"Obviously, he can't give up just like that" Asep said.
All the members of the squad led by Prime were well prepared for the attack when Berlin gave its mark. Similarly, the group belonging to Berlin who are also prepared.

Nadia felt her head was very dizzy. He who sat on the ground leaned his body against the wall from the warehouse and tried to close his eyes for a moment, hoping that his dizziness was reduced and lost. His legs and hands were tied very tight, which made Nadia unable to do much.
DRAP !
"Hey, wake!" carlos snapped walking up to him and suddenly pulled his body to stand up violently.
"Oh," Nadia could not stop moaning in pain, because she forcibly used her injured leg to stand and walk.
"Hurry up!" carlos snapped by directly embracing Nadia's neck and holding a gun to her head.
"Ba-well," replied Nadia trembling and unconsciously her tears fell because she was so afraid.
...
Didn't wait long. Berlin was surprised when he saw Nadia brought by Carlos with a fairly alarming situation. His hands and feet were firmly tied, there was blood coming out of the wound on his eel, and one leg was injured. It was enough to ignite Berlin's emotions to Carlos.
"What ... did you do ... to him?!" inner Berlin seemed very upset when he saw firsthand the condition of Nadia like that.
Carlos chuckled when he saw the reaction of Berlin that he had wanted to see for a long time "There is an anger like that" Carlos said in a very satirical tone to Berlin.
"Damn it!" Berlin Gumam. He could not do anything, because Nadia was still in Carlos' hands with a gun that kept on his head.
"Berlin, sorry," said Nadia in a very slow tone and eyes that began to fade.
"Just calm down, Berlin. I'm not gonna kill him. Even he is like this because of his own actions that continue to fight us," said Carlos casually and lowered the gun used to hold Nadia. But still did not release his embrace or grip from Nadia.
.
"I don't want to kill Nadia here, Berlin. But maybe, that's not the case with you!" he continued with a gun that was now pointed towards Berlin.
"That's right, Berlin. Don'tdon't move! If you fight, Nadia's life is at stake."
Berlin is really confused. What he had to do, he didn't know. His mind was completely deadlocked when Nadia's life was at stake. But he also could not be just silent as if giving himself up just like that.
"Think! Think on! What should I do?!" inner Berlin glanced around as if looking for an opportunity to fight, and ended up staring at Nadia who looked very sick.

Seriate.
