He looked at the source of the voice. Her pair of beautiful rounded eyeballs realized who was standing there.
Isn't that Mr Gunawan who helped me last night? say Via inward.
"You didn't hear Mr. Gunawan say what? Let go of the girl!" command one of the men standing behind him.
Marco who was greatly surprised by the arrival of Mr. Gunawan can only be silent. The man gave the code to his bodyguard to release Via.
"Master Marco, can we talk?" said Mr. Gunawan. Unasked, the middle-aged man sat on the sofa opposite Marco. The two guards who followed him stood at the back.
"Of course, sir. It's an honor for me that you want to come here" Marco said. "Let's talk in my room."
"Speak here. I don't like pleasantries" said Mr. Gunawan. His tone was relaxed, yet it sounded terrifying.
While Via was still standing in his place with fear still clearly drawn on his face.
"Can I help you, sir?" marco asked as he coded the waiter to bring a drink for the middle-aged man.
"Not bother. I'm here to ask you something."
Marco frowned as a sign he had not caught the direction of the man in front of him. "What do you ask, sir?"
"I want that girl!" he answered, pointing at Via with the tail of his eyes.
Marco laughed at the man's words. Because after all Mr. Gunawan is a man with a good reputation. There was no way he would want to play around with a comforting woman.
"Cleopatra? But, Mr. .. someone already paid him for tonight first. I'll find you better and prettier if you want" Marco bargained.
"I don't like to repeat my words. I just want the girl."
"I'm sorry, sir. But I can't give it."
A thin grin was present on the man's lips. He raised his right hand so that the guards approached him. "What's up, Mister?"
"Tonight, level this place with earth!" he said casually, then looked intently at Marco.
Hearing the deadly order, Marco's face suddenly turned pale. He was well aware of the power of Mr. Gunawan, who was a wealthy businessman. The entire elite area around where Marco opened the entertainment venue was his. It can even demolish the building overnight.
"Thank me, sir," said Marco with a clear face, "Well, I'll give you the girl."
"Good! So how much do I have to pay for that girl?"
"You want to rent it for tonight?" ask Marco.
"I don't want to rent, I want to buy it from you. That means from now on the girl is mine. So tell me how much I have to pay you."
The frown on Marco's forehead deepened, he glanced at Via at a glance, researching what was with Via until Mr. Gunawan wanted to have it.
Not wanting to lose the opportunity, Marco immediately mentioned the price to be paid to get Via. He mentioned the fantastic price, making Via gasp at hearing it. However, although the price offered by Marco is very high, Mr. Gunawan apparently not surprised.
"Surya, you take care of everything" Mr. Gunawan ordered a bodyguard.
"Good, Sir."
"Mr Marco, I need you to make a letter of agreement for me. That after today, you won't bother the girl anymore. If you do, then you'll deal with me."
"Good, Sir. I will obey whatever you want" Marco said. The man asked an assistant to make a written agreement.
Who exactly is this master? Why would he buy me at such a high price. Is he really a striped-nose guy? But why last night he helped me. Inner Via.
********
After nearly an hour of waiting, a personal assistant to Marco arrives with the letter of agreement Mr. Gunawan wants. The man read word for word that was written in the covenant letter.
Marco immediately put his signature on the covenant letter. Between confusion and pleasure. Yes, he earned money in an amount that is not small from the results of selling Via.
After the sale and purchase agreement was completed, Mr. Gunawan glanced towards Via. He noticed the appearance of Via with a fairly open dress. A smile was seen on the corner of his lips.
"You're here in that outfit?"
Via with a head.
"Then replace your clothes with the ones you used when you came here" asked Mr. Gunawan.
Marco who was happy immediately gave the code to Laras to accompany Via to change his clothes.
****
"Via... Do you know that man? He bought you at a very high price" asked Laras.
Taking off the clothes, Via replied. "I'm not very familiar yet. But he was the one who saved me last night from Aldi" said Via.
The woman put her clothes back on, but her mind was still drifting everywhere. Between the pleasure of being able to escape Marco and the fear if it turns out that the man who just bought him is a striped-nose man.
"I'm scared, Ras. What if the Master turned out to be a striped-nose man like Aldi. What do I do?" said Via holding back his tears. "You heard that he gave me to be his."
"Yes, I think so too. It seems like he is a very powerful man, the boss even shakes when talking to him," said Laras added to Via's fear.
The clutter in Via's heart became more and more so when the door was knocked violently by someone from outside. He wanted to escape from that damned place. But there is not the slightest gap for him to escape.
Afterwards, Via met the man who had just bought it. His footsteps swayed with a shudder, barely powered. He did not even dare to raise his head.
"Let's go," asked Mr. Gunawan.
What will happen to me after this. Is this Mr Gunawan a good man, or is he the same as the man who came here to seek entertainment?
A bodyguard opened the car door and let Via in, while Mr. Gunawan casually walked in from the next door. The car left the entertainment venue.
******
"Why can you go there again? Didn't you escape last night from the man who paid you?" tanyakanya.
Currently they are still on a journey that Via does not know where it is heading.
"They dragged me to that place, sir," replied Via barely trembling. "I don't want to go back there either, but ..."
"I understand. It's not easy to get out of that place. Moreover, you've been dealing with Marco."
Via speechless. His breath was held. I wanted to ask but was afraid. Until a few minutes passed, he just ventured to look at the man sitting by his side.
"Mr ... Can I ask you something?"
"Ask!"
"Why did you buy me at that price? Do you .. I mean ...." Via speaking timidly. If one spoke a little wrong then it would be very dangerous for him. That's how he thought.
Mr. Gunawan chuckled at Via's question which sounded so nervous. He could even guess where the young lady's question was headed. But instead of answering, he chose silence.
I should be able to escape from here, Inner Via.
Slowly Via pulled the doorknob of the car, intending to escape by jumping out. Unfortunately, the door was locked. Mr. Gunawan who realized, just glanced with the tail of his eyes. He smiled mysteriously again.
