William had just finished reading the report given by Brian. Rico is busy with his laptop on the CEO's desk. He sat down on the sofa in the room.
"Will, have you heard of Laras?" rico asked not to distract him from the laptop.
"If you speak, look at the face of the person you are talking to" William protested.
"I am again the arrival of the big boss, so it must look diligent to let the salary rise. Even though my big boss is my own best friend," replied Rico who immediately followed his laughter.
William did not pounce, ignored and walked towards the chair that was in front of the table of Rico, his best friend.
"Ric, has Laras not contacted you in three years? or come to Indonesia like that? or it could be that he uses a new identity with Daddy Daniel his power is not playing games," said and asked William.
"If you know not to mess around, why are you playing with the Arlington family. I knew Ken was part of Arlington and instead paket angry with him," scolded Rico accordingly.
"You know for yourself, my paranoia is hard to lose. Especially when Daddy and Mommy happened, I was getting out of control. It felt like my therapy for a year of losing Laras was meaningless when it hit me" William complained.
Rico stopped his typing. He looked at the face of the friend who looked glum. He walked over to William's side and patted him on the shoulder.
"I'm sure you can. Don't give up, keep doing your therapy. I'm here to help find your wife, but Laras is my best friend too. I also often ask the same Goddess but the result is the same."
"I feel tired from this therapy. There have been no developments in the past two years. I just need Laras to control my growing paranoia. I. I really miss my little wife, Ric. Even the divorce papers I still keep without giving my autograph."
With a gentleman, Rico gives a friendly hug. He patted William on the back while whispering encouraging words. After that, he let go of his embrace.
"Focus on the company and your therapy. Leave the search for Laras to the three of us. I'm sure, between the three of us, if it's time, Laras will call one of us."
"Thank you."
Geck... Geck... Geck...
The sound of knocking on the door sounded. William told those outside to come in. Rama appears with a brown envelope in his hand. William's smile immediately expanded as Rama always completed his task perfectly.
"Say!" william's orders.
"The name of this woman is Liu Meyrin. She is from LA and now lives in Lunar City. Miss Mey as soon as people called her, a mysterious woman in Lunar, no one knew the face of Miss Meyrin. One thing was certain, he was a respected person in the Lunar city. His identity is not much known only rumors circulating that this lady is very beautiful. He was also a businessman just like the young master. It's just that, if there was a meeting, he would rather have his assistant come over" Rama gave his report.
"But why did he come?" ask William curiously.
"He's eyeing the tender to add to his company's branch."
"He's a businessman?" William looked at Rama in disbelief.
"It could be said that he owned a famous company in Lunar. Just think of you, a woman who hides her identity and only shows herself to certain people. Isn't a person like this the same as you were in Indonesia?" this time Rama took out his assumption. Rico nodded his head markedly in agreement with the assumption of William's personal assistant.
"But why would he go to a club and do an ONS with me?" william's murmur was very soft but could still be heard by Rama and Rico.
"Huh? What did you say just now? ONS with Meyrin? And what's the barrel, Will?" asked Rico not to believe the behavior of his best friend.
"What did I say?" askback William looked at Rama and Rico alternately who were answered with a nod of the head.
"Ooh ... It was a story like this ...," and after that flowed William's story in 99's Black Club that ended the ONS with Meyrin.
****************
In a hotel room, a long-haired woman was busy playing with her cell phone. Sometimes his smile is on its back when there is something interesting on his phone. Until the phone rang displaying the name Ken Lian.
"Hello Ken," greeted the woman gently.
"So, you weren't kidding, were you with your message just now?" ask Ken.
"Not kidding at all, Ken."
"Say you're kidding me, Race."
"I'm serious, Ken."
"That's your name you're playing with William. Better stop that crazy plan!" hardik Ken's.
"Where is your relationship with Meyrin?" goda Laras, there is a mysterious and ignorant smile there.
"Clearned! Don't divert the conversation. Remember that! Your father still doesn't know why you left William because he wanted to kill a Daniel Arlington," Ken recalled three years ago and the reason Laras chose the divorce.
"It is precisely because of that that that I increasingly want to carry out this plan," Laras replied so casually.
"Better, don't play with fire if you don't want to burn. It's not just the Arlington family that will be affected, you're the first to be affected," Ken's still trying to thwart Laras' crazy plans.
"If I catch fire, the Joker, King, Queen and Aite will put it out. Don't forget my hero Jack, hahaha ...," Laras accidentally mentioned another name for Ken Lian.
"Damn it! It's up to you. Remember that! There's nothing directly call me," Ken ordered.
"Hahaha .. I miss joking with you. Quickly return to Lunar City," Ken asked as he wiped his tears from mostly laughing.
"I miss you too, Ken. Once this is over, I'll be back. You're fine with Meyrin, hahaha.." seduced by Laras.
"Damn loe!"
After swearing Ken immediately ended the call made Laras laugh more and more. It turns out that teasing a Ken Lian is so much fun.
Baras was surprised when the digital clock on his phone screen showed at 16:00 WIB. He headed straight for the bathroom, ready to continue his next agenda.
****************
William just finished telling a story that immediately got a blow from his adoptive brother and his best friend. The oath of grace was given to William who had betrayed his wife, Laras.
"Better you give me the autograph on the divorce papers, damn it!" murmur Rama with still set his breath.
"You let Laras down, it's the same as disappointing me. What kind of friend and husband are you, asshole!" added Rico with a gasp of breath.
"Hey .. hey ... I'll say kal—"
"You are wrong!" snapped Rama.
"Sorry."
William lowered his head. The big change happened, William was so obedient to Rama when it came to Laras. Whatever Rama said about Laras, for William it was important.
"You must apologize to Miss Laras if you have met. Remember well, there's nothing to hide anymore!" rama's orders. William just nodded his head again.
****************
A sedan car just arrived at a public funeral. William got out of the car with a flower. This was the day he met his beloved wife for the first time. The day he and Laras made a promise together.
Every year, on the same day they will meet here as the anniversary of their meeting and the death of Memei, Laras' beloved cat.
William immediately walked alone towards where Memei was resting. William just put the flower bucket and immediately turned around and accidentally hit someone. William immediately grabbed the body of the man before falling to the ground.
"Oh, what the hell," the woman hugged.
"Meyrin?" ask William.
"You who?" meyrin asked pretending to forget.
"It's not like we met in— this morning"
"Oh yes I remember. Greetings to Mr. Plowden," Meyrin said as William was about to introduce himself.
"Well, if you know what you're doing here?" ask Meyrin.
"I'm visiting Memei's tomb" William replied formally.
"The poor cat" said Meyrin.
"How do you know that Memei is a cat?" William frowned.
"Eh ... I mean, I just thought there was a cat that got hit. That's why I said poor cat" Meyrin explained calmly.
"really?" William does not believe.
"of course. Why are you staring at me like that?" Meyrin felt uncomfortable being looked at suspiciously from William.
Feeling no response from his interlocutor, Meyrin broke free from William's embrace. He turned around and left the funeral. But suddenly a hand pulled him back into William's arms.
William drew his face closer. The black beads were both rubbing against each other. Drown each other with their black charms. William brought his face closer, eroding the distance between the two of them. The roar of breath began to hit the faces of the two, until …
"Actually, who are you?" william whispered making both of Meyrin's black beads wide open.
