My husband Tajir & Arogan (Season 1)
CHAPTER XXII

The next day...

Things start to improve again, because of the kidnapping problem, Rafael forgets the company. He immediately took his laptop and checked all the emails sent by Jodhi. In addition to the company's problems, Jodhi also reported on the Markes family-owned company the man had been investigating.

Rafael began to look at the report carefully, after he finished seeing it, he immediately contacted Jodhi. It didn't take long for Rafael to wait for his answer.

"Jodh... Buy all assets owned by the Markes family and also buy the largest shares in PT. Andalasu. It's my way of destroying Bethran Markes, his own fault for fighting Rafael Widjaja" Rafael said.

"Are you sure you'll do it sir?" ask Jodhi.

"Follow my orders Jod."

"Okay sir" replied Jodhi.

"And don't let the media be silenced by Dowell. The arrest of Katrina Dowell, who kidnapped my in-laws, must be spread quickly. We must also teach that stubborn woman a lesson" Rafael orders again.

"Ready sir, soon everything will be done" replied Jodhi again.

Rafael hangs up and calls his secretary Melia.

"How's the job I ordered Mel to do?" rafael asked without further ado after Melia picked up her phone.

"Pak Firdaus used five billion company funds for land property in Sulawesi pak. But he did not investigate the land he was going to buy. I'm sorry I couldn't prevent it, because it wasn't my fragrance, sir" Melia replied.

"Based on a stupid man. He thought buying a property with only attractive offers without having to investigate who the owner and location. Within one week PT. Sinar Abadi can go bankrupt in his hands," said Rafael began to get emotional, "continue to send me documents he signed with me. I'll handle it in the back. And he'll be stuck with his own stupidity. And cut all contracts with Dowell without compensation. If Frans Dowell sues for damages, he'll have to face me" he added.

"Okay sir" Melia replied.

After that, Rafael decided to call again. The man sighed, his family problems still could not be resolved quickly. He really had to make his father aware before everything was destroyed.

Rafael heads to the hospital where Emili is being treated. Once there, he saw his wife accompanying his parents. The woman again had to leave her college because of the problems that have occurred lately. Raphael felt more and more guilty towards his wife.

Rafael approached those who were still unaware of his presence. When the sound of his footsteps rang out, the three of them immediately looked towards him.

"How's mom doing?" ask Rafael.

"It's better than yesterday" Delia replied.

"We should go home today directly to Lampung, son" said Derry.

Emili nodded her head, "mom wants to go home right now."

"Mom should rest well first. The doctor suggested that the mother be treated for at least a week here" Rafael replied.

"No son. We are more comfortable coming home, eager to calm down after these few days of having this slightly dire situation. We often see news on television about kidnappings, we never imagine actually experiencing it ourselves" said Emili sad.

Raphael understood very well what his father-in-law was feeling. He saw Delia, asked for approval. The woman nodded her head at Rafael.

"All right, I can't stop you anymore. After lunch, we headed to the airport. This morning, I'll take care of the police's letter. In one hour the police will ask you for information as a victim and witness" Rafael said.

"Son... Can't both be released? They are obsessed with the feeling of love. They're very young" Derry said.

Emili nodded her head in agreement with her husband.

"You guys are too good, but this one request of yours I can't grant. Anyone who annoys my wife and family will receive the appropriate punishment. If they are not taught a lesson, in the future they can commit crimes again. Father, mother, Delia, you are already part of Rafael Widjaja. You are now my responsibility, so don't expect this matter to end peacefully" Rafael said.

Derry and Emili could only sigh at them. Hearing the words of their son-in-law who was firm like that, of course, it was no longer possible to be swayed. After that, Rafael tells them to go to the police station to bring Delia. Rafael assured the two that this time they were safe because there were still police officers standing guard outside the room.

Rafael and Delia head to the police station to see the suspect who kidnapped their parents.

"My daughter committed a crime because of you. You embarrassed her by breaking off your engagement unilaterally" Frans told Rafael.

Rafael chuckled, "it looks like Mr. Dowell's upside down. Your daughter is like this because it was you who agreed to this stupid matchmaking. Since he dared to disturb my family, then you will bear the consequences. I've decided on all the company's cooperation, don't expect you to be able to seek compensation from me, lucky I didn't destroy your company" Rafael replied.

Frans Dowell's face turned pale as a result of Rafael's threat. Frans knows the consequences against Rafael Widjaja. He could not reply to Rafael's words, for a little of what Rafael said was true.

Rafael turned his gaze to Surya Markes.

"My name is Rafael Widjaja, and I own PT. Eternal Light. You must have heard of my company. Your son's actions are difficult I forgive, if something happens to your company, do not blame me," said Rafael arrogantly.

"Of course I know you, Mr. Rafael," Surya replied, "My son is a fool, but can't we just be at peace, sir? Give the Markes a chance to fix it" he asked.

Rafael laughed, "whoever hurts my family, it cannot end in peace. I didn't come here to negotiate."

As soon as Surya Markes fell silent, there was nothing he could say to an arrogant man like Rafael Widjaja.

"I intend to buy your company shares. Maybe now your company has moved into my hands. If you don't believe it, you can confirm it yourself" Rafael said.

Surya Markes is wide-eyed, "please, don't do this Mr. Rafael. I had nothing to do with my son's stupid deeds."

"Unfortunately I did this to teach your son a lesson. Isn't the only heir to the company your stupid son? But I don't expect you to step down from your post. Your company just changed owners, but you still have to manage it well. The choice is in your hands, go without getting anything or keep working as usual" Rafael said.

Surya Markes was again surprised by Rafael's remarks. His body was trembling against a businessman like the man in front of him. He believes it is very easy for a Widjaja to acknowledge a small company like his own company.

Delia continued to listen to the conversation, although she did not understand the business, but the arrogant attitude of her husband really sounded very scary.

Rafael takes Delia away from Frans and Surya. The two meet Bethran and Katrina. The two suspects were shocked when they saw Rafael and Delia. Bethran could only bow her head in shame to face Delia, while Katrina looked at them with anger.

"Have you not regretted what you did Kate? Your eyes were almost out when you saw us, you even wanted to burn my wife's body" Rafael said.

Katrina let go of her laughter, "regret? until I die, I will never regret it. The woman beside you is just the cheap woman you married."

"How dare you insult my wife" said Rafael, "My wife is a good woman. Just ask your evil partner, he who has paid people to tarnish his good name. You should apologize for what you did to the Laros family. Looks like you really want to be in jail. Would you change if I destroyed Dowellkat's company?" rafael's threat.

Katrina's face turned pale, "no... Don't do it Rafael. My papa has nothing to do with me."

"Because you were once my friend, then I won't destroy your company. But, apologize to my wife. Even if it won't ease your sentence" Rafael said.

"I would rather die than be imprisoned. I will be ashamed for the rest of my life Raf" replied Katrina.

Katrina looked at Delia, but this time her gaze was not as fierce as before.

"Delia. Please forgive me. I'm just following Bethran's advice, help me get out of this, I'll let Rafael go for you" Katrina said.

Delia could not bear to see it. Rafael believes his wife will forgive the woman and begs him to let her go.

"Your apology is accepted. But to be free from your punishment, it will not be possible" Rafael chanted before his wife begged him.

"Raf.." said Delia softly.

"Don't love, don't show your kindness to people like them" Rafael said, taking Delia away.

"Rafael. Let me out of here... Rafael.." cried Katrina.

Rafael continues to take Delia out regardless of Katrina's screams. The two headed to another room to take care of the police letter so that Delia's parents could return to Lampung. After they finished taking care of everything, they left the police station to return to the hospital.
