Today Nolan did not expect that Leo would come to the main office and meet him personally. Usually, if you need input about the business or there are obstacles in one thing in the business, he will only ask and ask for Nolan's opinion via telephone.

For Leo, the problem this time is more serious than losing and losing the tender.

“Mama back.” said Leo briefly, without frills gave another explanation about the purpose of his mother back to Jakarta, met him, then asked for unreasonable rights to him.

Leo was indeed his biological son, but his mother had long abandoned him in the capital, and had the compassion of his father, Hendra Suwandi, who had never expected his presence. “He asked for half of the company shares from me.” he continued a little lethargic which was immediately rewarded with forehead wrinkles by Nolan. A request that makes no sense.

“You gave?” ask Nolan. He hoped Leo would not be consumed by the sedition of his own mother.

Leo shakes. This was the reason for coming to meet and meet directly with this half-brother. Nolan is always careful and firm in making decisions.

“Neg. More precisely not yet.” said Leo justified his sentence. “I request time on mama.”

Nolan snorted in annoyance. He once hated Leo half to death because of the behavior of Tiana who had made everything messy in the past. But his hatred for Leo was dashed after he found out that his siblings also received bad treatment from his own mother.

“Do not love. It was your effort and hard work over the years.” said Nolan. “You can help your mom financially, but don't be stupid to give up half the shares you have to your mom, which could potentially be controlled by a man who is close to your mom.”

Leo frowned at Nolan's explanation. Is your mother close to a man?

It is not difficult to gather information. Nolan has many connections and unexpected ways to get what he wants, including finding out about Tiana who is currently close to a man who is much younger, also trying to raise a personal business by making Tiana a key and financial resource to increase her capital.

“Those uncap men will continue to pry your fight if you obey your mama's wishes this time. The man will continue to use your mama as a tool to ask you for something.” Nolan continued realistically, and of course logically.

Leo nodded in understanding. He also thought logically just like Nolan. Fortunately Hendra's brain came down to the two of them, otherwise Leo would have cried regretting his own decision after obeying his mother's will.

“Mama,” Leo paused his sentence in doubt. “— didn't come to you?”

Leo's question suddenly made Nolan clenched his lips with his face turned turbid. “Yes, he came two days ago. Then, a day ago he also came to charge.”

Leo lifted his eyes. Embarrassed by the behavior of his mother who is said to be shameless.

“Then?”

“He asks for the same thing as he asks you, and makes my marriage a threat if not obeyed.”

“Caca tau?”

Nolan nodded. He was relieved to have told Caca about this problem.

“Then, how did you decide, Lan?” leo asked for clarity which would certainly be his benchmark as well to take a stand.

Nolan smiled. He put his palms together, then placed on the table with his body slightly forward until almost pressing the table with his chest.

“Considered? Do I look like I want to obey your mama's silly request?” nolan said slightly sneering with a sharp smile on the corner of his lips.

Leo who saw Nolan's scary face shrieked. This man in front of him never failed in bullying the person he thought was disturbing.

“Then I must thank God and papa for giving you a brother like you.”

Nolan chuckles. “You should be confident in yourself and the decisions you take, Le. You are the leader.”

“The problem, this is mama, Lan.”

“Yes. I can't deny that you're bound by blood, mother and son. But, that determination is necessary. You must be confident in the attitude and decisions you make. And this time, I recommend not to let your guard down and give some of your shares to your mother, who does not know the direction and purpose of it.”

Leo nodded. He knew Nolan would never make the wrong decision and give input to him.

Nolan's phone vibrated on his desk, LovelyWife's name appearing on the display that made a smile unfolded on Nolan's lips. But what he heard across, made Nolan's body limp instantly, his eyes shed tears, his body trembled in fear. And without talking more with Leo, Nolan stood up and ran out of the room. While Leo who does not understand Nolan's attitude, came running after and became a spectacle throughout the office.

Nolan headed to the basement which was the parking area. His hands shook as he reached into his pants pocket to search for his car keys until it fell under his feet. Leo who saw Nolan's panic did not ask much. He only grabbed Nolan's car keys by force, then asked Nolan to get into the passenger seat. It is not safe to drive in such panic.

“Let me drive. Tell me where we should go.”

“JMC.”

The day before.

Nolan's door creaked open, Tiana's figure emerged from behind the thick glass blade with a shameless smile.

“Hai, good afternoon.”

Nolan did not answer. He just stared straight at Tiana who was sitting unsolicited on the sofa that was not far from the door.

Nolan tried not to care, but the woman was like looking for a topic to pay attention to. And the topic it brings is so crucial.

“How? I only ask for two or three assets—”

“What is your relationship with me to dare to ask me such a thing?” asked Nolan coldly. She did not like the purpose of Tiana's arrival at all.

“Oh hi, Boy. Your papa was ever—”

“That's papa. I wasn't. And now, this company has switched on my behalf. So, you have no right to ask me anything.” said Nolan who made Tiana's face immediately turned stiff. The expression of the artificial smile that he pinned on his lips, vanished.

“Yes. I will not be poor, and you will still get nothing from me.” said Nolan sharper with a scary face. His emotions had peaked, but still he could bear desperately so as not to explode. “Please leave this place if there is nothing more to talk about.”

Tiana, who was already furious, finally left Nolan's room with a vengeful heart. He also had to go to his son to get what he didn't get from Nolan. Or he simply won't be able to get the man he craves.

In the end, Tiana's car to Loenard's office is located. He came to meet the son, hoping that the child would still accept him even though he had run away and threw away the only treasure he had.

“Mama?” said Leo who was then shocked at Tiana's presence in his room. There was no wind, no rain, why did his mother suddenly appear like a storm.

“Hai, son.” greet Tiana sok friendly. Leo even forgot when he was last called ‘nak’ by his own mother.

“Mama know office Leo—”

“From Nolan.” the answer lies. Nolan did not say where his son worked, but in recent years, he has been secretly searching for Leo and what his son does.

Actually Tiana did not have the heart to ask Leo to give him half the shares, but she needed recognition from the man she was approaching at this time.

Leo, who heard the mother's answer, suddenly hesitated. Nolan would never give information to people he considered foreign, let alone a Tiana who had been labeled as the mastermind of the death of her mother first. Leo nodded as if understanding. “Mama where have you been all this time?” ask Leo to know. There was no meaning, just wanting to know how her mother had lived for so many years without any news.

“Working period, son. And now, mama is coming to you, because it needs your help.”

Leo frowned. What help does this mother mean?

“Help?” ask Leo without having to linger guessing the purpose and purpose of his mother.

Tiana put her palms together and placed them on her knees. Then he loudly said, “I'm starting a business, and I need capital.”

Leo still faithfully listened to his mother.

“So, will you give mama a little capital help to develop your mama business?”

Obviously Leo was getting curious about what his mother wanted from him. “Mama want me to help how much capital?”

Tiana bit her lips, then said, “Can you give half of your shares to mama?”

Jesus, Leo widened his eyes to hear the mother's request which of course he never expected it.

“I'm sure, your father gave you a lot of treasure after he died.”

Leo can only shake his head in imagination. “Dad did give some of his business assets to Leo, but all of that was not instant Leo can, ma. Leo has worked hard and fought for all of Leo's success today.”

Tiana smiled. There was a hint of pride in his chest. And that means, she is free to ask for her rights as a mother to the child.

“So you want to give me what you asked for, right?”

No. gabe. This is not true.

“Give me time.”

And today Leo came to see Nolan to ask for his brother's opinion. But who would have thought a bad thing happened to his brother's wife.

“Who is sick?” ask Leo who has almost arrived at JMC, a large and well-known hospital in Jakarta.

“Caca. Someone intentionally bumped into him.”

Leo gulped his saliva rough. He saw sadness and fear in Nolan's eyes. And he promised to help Nolan fully investigate who would do that to his brother's wife.

Arriving at the parking area, Nolan rushed out of Bentley's still-lit car. He ran to the emergency department because according to the information he got from the caller, Caca was in the ICU room because of serious injuries.

Leo soon follows, but he has to sit in front with one of Nolan's house assistants who looks shocked and frightened.

“May I sit here, bi?” leo asked to be sure. He did not want to be presumptuous and just sit next to the old woman whose hair was almost completely bleached.

“Please—” Ane's sentence came to a halt when she realized who was next to her at the moment. “ ... den Leo?” guess it with a surprised face that was still wet with tears.

Leo smiled and grabbed Ane's palm for her salami. “Iya, it's me.”

“Who is sick? Aden?” tanya Ane who was right to call the young man next to him with the same name as Nolan. They were both sons of Hendra.

“I drove Nolan here.”

“Ah, so yes.”

Leo looked at the slightly wrinkled face, then asked the chronological events. How Caca got hit by people.

“I don't know if I have a grudge if the woman is the same. We walked out of the supermarket, about to cross into the car park because the driver was waiting for us across the exit.” Ane began to remember the incident, because he was among witnesses who would be questioned later by the authorities. “Until suddenly the red car came at a fairly fast speed and hit den ayu.”

Leo cussed over whoever was behind the crime. He even promised to help Nolan to investigate thoroughly and make the perpetrator get the punishment for his actions.

“Then, the driver of that car, has it been secured?”

Ane nodded. “At the police, because some people were there, stopped the car and forced the woman out. Then all I know now is that the woman is already at the police station.”

Leo nodded in relief. He will go to the police station soon to continue the crime that befell Caca. “Auntie, had time to see his face or not?”

Ane shook her head. But he's back on sound. “I did not see clearly because of the distance that was already far, and I panicked to see ayu lying unconscious.” Ane exhaled heavily when recalling Caca's state of passing minutes. “But the woman is not a young woman. He wears a cream color shirt and calana long like a businessman.” Leo frowned hearing the physical features of the woman who had wretched Caca. “Hair is shoulder-length orange, and it's about a few inches taller than me.”

Leo begins to guess, but does not want to be bad before seeing it for himself.

“His face is no stranger to my eyes. I like to have seen it.” continued Ane which made Leo more convinced by his assumption. Her mother, Tiana.[]
