MEN NACKAL (Temptation of My Husband's Friend)
PN - Chapter 35 - Punishment For You

1 Week later

Yuda walks quickly and emotionally into Mahend's company building. As soon as he went up and reached the floor of the place where Mahend's room was, the man immediately threw a map that he brought right in front of his best friend.

Plaque!

Mahend who already knew what caused Judah to look so angry like that also chose to keep quiet.

"What is this, Hend?" ask Yuda with stifled emotions.

"So you just found out about this?" Mahend got up from his chair and walked over to Yuda with his leisure, with both hands he put in his pants pocket. "Did om Adiyaksa never tell you? He offered me his shares a few weeks ago, he said, if left under your leadership, gradually the company will definitely fall bankrupt because lately your company he said suffered a considerable loss."

"Currently, I don't care what you say. What I regret, as a friend, is how you stabbed me in the back. Should have been, when my father offered you to buy his shares, you at least told me this, Mahend, because it's so important!" Yuda said half-screaming, to the surprise of Mahend's secretary out there.

"What is this, sir? Do I need to call the security guard?" secretary Mahend looked worried.

"No need." Mahend signaled with his hand telling his secretary to come out and close the door of his room again.

"Sit down first, Jud, let's talk about this with a cool head" Mahend asked later.

Yuda gave a rough snort then sat down on the sofa as per the instructions of the owner of the room.

"I didn't think you could do that much to me, Hend. You could have conspired with my father and not talked to me about this at all. Are you still my best friend or not?" yuda's annoyance was not over thought. She still had not expected Mahend to do that much to her.

"When om Adiyaksa came to see me and wanted to sell 50% of his company shares to me, of course I immediately accepted his offer, because this transaction was very profitable for me in the future. As a businessman, I would be foolish to miss this golden opportunity" Mahend said after pausing his explanation.

"Yes, I know, this is obviously very profitable for you in the future, but can you give it all back to me, Mahend? I beg. I promise to pay you 10% interest later. That way you can still profit after returning everything to me," asked Yuda expectantly, hoping that Mahend would grant his request.

"Can't, Jud. I told you, business is business, and business does not know brothers, let alone friends. Anyway, I've been raking in to buy your father's company shares. And I really can't give it back to you just like that, because it would definitely have a negative impact on me."

Yuda rubbed his face in frustration. He knew very well what the nature of a friend who had secretly stabbed him from behind twice without his knowledge, Mahend had a fixed stance, it was very difficult to persuade him only with the lure of profit. Once he says no, the answer is no.

"Hend, I beg you very much, Mahend. Can't you make me an exception to that principle you hold dear?" Judah asked again with a compassionate face, hoping that Mahend would pity him.

Mahend. "You know best what I look like, Jud. Once I say no, the answer is no. And my principle is that I will never break it at any time, because once I break it, it does not rule out the future I will go back to doing the same."

Hearing Mahend's words, Judah looked increasingly frustrated. Not long after, the man sauntered away leaving Mahend without saying another word.

Seeing the friend he had betrayed leave without saying goodbye, Mahend could only exhale violently. She was sure, Yuda must have left because he was angry with her.

"That's a punishment for you, Yud," murmured Mahend.
