Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
69. The language!

Uncompleted surprise from Viani, suddenly Indra appears. The boy went straight out from the sight of Gemma, into the father's car.

“Ngapain you here?” ask Gemma.

“Viani was sick yesterday and wanted to see you. But it seems you are busy again,” Indra said looking down at her phone while standing in front of them, typing something there.

And when Indra raised her face, she looked shocked because it turned out that the man who was with Gemma was Gala. Then then, he smiled mysteriously, staring at Gala and Gemma alternately.

“Well, well... You and my wife are doing it together here? You guys dating? Beware of catching hansip loh!"

“Ralat, Ndra... Ex-wife,” growled Gemma, looking at her with anger.

“You know where?”

“She was my ex at High School,” replied Gemma who is now turning her face away from her future ex-husband.

“Pegawe me and my wife... Ck! So you like kere men, Gem? How do you feel about being free-falling? Or maybe, you are lonely until you find a product?

Yes, I can understand if the guys like me are out of your reach. But looking at your appearance now, you guys fit in,” Indra chuckled in a disdainful tone.

Although Gala heard everything clearly, she had no sense of offence at all. He's just being vigilant.

Gala quietly crossed her hands behind her back to take off her Hublot watch and put it in her pants pocket. Thankfully, there are no other accessories.

His appearance tonight was quite simple for an ordinary employee. Gala still wanted Indra to have such an assumption towards her.

Gemma's sharp gaze was fixed on the former candidate. “I want to be friends with anyone, it is not your business anymore!”

“Sok your saint, have cheated still say friends! Here I am a photo of you first,” Indra suddenly raised his phone and immediately shifted the camera icon so quickly took their photos without Gala and Gemma could dodge.

Gemma looked forward at Indra face to face. “What the fuck is this, Mas?”

“Just in case.. We have proof of infidelity, right?"

"Don't be silly with photos that just stand together like this! Get out of my house!” get Gemma out of there.

“I don't want to stay here long either. You guys can have fun. My advice, you be careful with sexually transmitted diseases. Like this guy of yours, hmm,” Indra said while putting the phone in his pants pocket and went from there following the boy who was still shocked to see Gemma with another man.

Gemma was about to answer Indra, but Gala hurriedly caught her arm and shook her head, so that the woman covered her mouth back, holding back any harsh words that had accumulated fully at the tip of her tongue. As his eyes looked at Indra's departure, his breathing quickly became more regular.

“You all right?”

Gemma did not answer. He was still trying to regulate his crazed blood swish. Although Gemma was given a shock three times today that almost left her with a heart attack, she still firmly stood straight next to Gala.

“Gem..”.

The woman raised her hand, hugging herself. He looked at Gala so bitterly. “I need time to make it myself first.”

“Gemma, I’m so sorry.”

"You're not wrong. I agreed with this relationship and was too careless to show it to the world without thinking how Viani or my ex-husband would react. Gala, let's keep our distance first. I need space to think."

"I see."

That was all Gala could say when she left the Gemma house after an unexpected encounter with Viani and Indra.

...***...

Gala didn't come home to her apartment that night. The man went to his old home, which now belongs to Mona and her three children, while her husband is still abroad and will only be back in two weeks.

The next morning, Mona wakes Gala up to speak for four eyes in their late father's study. Mona listened to Gala's story carefully.

At first it sounds like a love affair of a teenage monkey who is again caught cheating because of the way Gala talks exactly like ABG labile who just knew the name love. But as Mona expected, none of this is that simple.

“That's why we haven't all agreed with your relationship with Gemma. Not not unsettled, but—“

Mona smiled gently at her sister. Although when Gala was in Aussie, she still actively took care of Diverto assisted by Felix. However, this was something new for her sister. Especially when it comes to something as sensitive as money.

“That’s okay. For people who have just jumped directly, your job is very good, Gala. Your identity must remain hidden, at least until Bambang and Indra are detained.

We never know what became the head of Bambang as soon as he knew that his lowly employees were the ones who dismantled their corruption cases. With all the human resources we have, we will indeed be safe even though—“

“Me and Gemma will keep your distance first,” break up Gala.

“Udah tell Gemma? How did he react?”

“He asked first after Indra pergoki us at home."

Mona's gaze became softer to her sister. “Kakak will send people to watch out for Gemma. Don’t worry, okay?”

“Still, Brother.”

Gala finally relented, this is the best of all. He must keep his distance from Gemma for a while.

 ***

Until the days turned into weeks, the investigation into the delicacy of the report continued to roll up to the examination of Indra and Bambang. All those involved were called in for questioning.

But what they heard, the two men did not come on the first call, and the authorities have sent a second summons.

The four men who spearheaded the Aditya family continued to monitor the progress of the case. Gala was still in contact with Hendra and friends who were also examined as witnesses.

The frightened Hendra and Daniar constantly asked about their fate as if it were at the end of a horn. Because anyone of them can now be raised as a suspect. Yeah, it's wrong! Who told you to be corrupt?

That day, Paul, Felix and Mona are gathering at Mona's house for lunch together.

“How is Gemma? Tumben you rarely talk about him?” ask Felix while eating the roast.

“She's safe. Now he is again taking part in the art institute,” Gala replied flatly.

“Take what major?”

Gala shrugged her shoulders, then replied uncertainly. “Maybe art music."

Felix raised his eyebrows and then lowered his head and whispered, “Lo no pa-pa, Bro? Today you can easily rent. Do you think Gemma knows?”

Gala raised her face to look at Felix for a moment, then refocused on cutting the grilled meat on her plate. “She doesn't know.”

“Sooner or later, he should know, Gala. From your own mouth.”

Gala knows that. Gala knows exactly what she has to do. But what now if their state of communication is not as good as it used to be? Not to mention the various thoughts that have been bothering him lately. He can't sleep as long as Bambang and his friends haven't been tried.

“Entah, Lix. Whether it has something to do with Gemma or not, today my feelings are no longer good.”

Gala then picks up her phone, and finds a reply to Mona's man who says Gemma is fine and is sitting in the campus cafeteria with a young man.

The bodyguards even sent photos of them sitting at the table chatting casually. Seeing that, there was indeed a stifled rage that made Gala's blood boil, but she could not do much. Not at the moment.

“Ho-ly-shi**t!”

The atmosphere suddenly changed as they simultaneously turned towards Felix who suddenly stood up and shrieked, as his eyes stared at something in his phone.

“Language!” snapped Paul who was still bribing the roast into his mouth.

“Lo why?” gala asked with a demand.

“Om Bambang and Indra are included in the DPO list. They're FUGITIVE!”
