Owner Love
Approaching Ara

it's been a few days since Dhira learned that Meli was the mastermind behind her mother's disappearance. But to confirm that to Meli he had no proof. Makes him dizzy and feel dead-end.

He always looked for an opportunity to meet Meli. But it seems that woman has been introspective. Meli is not visible anywhere.

The woman disappeared without a trace. Meli cannot be a suspect because of lack of evidence. Finally, Dhira complied with Leo's advice to report to the police.

But even though it has been handed over to the authorities, there is still no meeting point that can be followed up. The SCTV camera, which is only ten seconds long, cannot recognize the person recorded because it only shows the eyes. Really dead end. He was told to wait for news of the police search.

Dhira did not mention Meli. He intends to handle Meli with his own hands. He was sure that even if the woman was made a suspect, it would not be easy to solve this problem. Especially after hearing the explanation from Rendra.

It's been four days since Dhira went to work. He really did not intend to enter the company again. When his mother returned he planned to apply to another company. There was no comfort in the office.

Without a purpose, Dhira slowly pulled the motor gas down the street while checking every roadside hoping he saw his mother. He makai motor one of the thugs who still work for him.

It turned out that what he expected to meet Meli did not happen. But what was seen was Jhon and Ara.

The two men, just got out of the car and entered a bakery bakery. Growing intent in Dhira's heart to approach them. He parked and did not forget the hat on his head.

It was quite safe for him to follow them with a high shelf rack and disguised from the breadcrumbs. There are several sets of seating and tables set up for guests who want to enjoy bread immediately.

Dhira stood not far from where Ara and Jhon were sitting. They had already managed to choose bread and it seemed like it would be enjoyed right then and there.

"Okay, now answer my question. Or should I report it to your papa?"

"Isss dikit ngadu. I don't care about the money I use. Why do you mind?" Ara grumbling.

"Makanya tell me. Who did you give that much money to? Don't you think I don't know how much you spent." The sentence Jhon managed to make Ara's face surprised.

"I told you there was business. Why is your question like a cop. I feel like a thief." Ara pouting.

"That's a billion Ara. Who blackmailed you? Who did you meet at the cafe?" Jhon apparently saw Ara when he went to the cafe. But I didn't get to see Meli.

"Kok kak Jhon knows I'm going to the cafe?"

"I told you, you can't lie to me. Now tell me, or I'll step in to check this out."

"Yes! But brother hasn't told papi yet, has he?!"

"Yet, but if you can't tell me right now I'll tell your papi." John took his cell phone and unlocked it.

"Eh wait! Yes, I will tell you. Save your brother's hape let me tell you." Ara grabbed Jhon's phone until their hands touched each other.

Ara was silent like hypnotized with a touch in her hand. A great tremor struck him from the tip of his fingers to his chest. His heart was racing faster. But strangely, he was always happy every time he experienced this thrilling thing.

"alright. Just one chance. So I hope you're not lying."

But all of that was immediately dissolved after Jhon pulled his hand along with his slightly loud voice.

"The money I lent to Dhira. Satisfied?"

"What's? That many? You promised your papa you wouldn't have anything to do with him. But what are you doing?" Jhon glared furiously.

"I told you, they're my real friends. Seeing it's hard, I really can't bear it."

"Haufffff...how can you understand? Now I'm confused. Have to tell this to Mr. Robert or not."

Ara sharpened her eyes. "Don't! As long as you're silent, Papi won't know."

"But I became a traitor in front of your papa. Obviously it's a mistake how can I be silent?"

"I beg you, Brother, I promise to buy back all the jewelry that has been sold. My pocket money in three months is enough."

"Even this cannot be ignored. Money is not a little. How dare you play with borrowed money. Especially to an obscure person like that woman!"

"Hah Brother is exaggerating. That money is just a little bit for Papi. Just calm. That's my brother's money I'll give you back."

"The problem isn't Ara's money! But your relationship with that Dhira. Don't force your papi to hurt your feelings!"

"Well!! You guys are the same. Don't talk about this anymore. I'm tired, I'm going home!" Ara pulled her bag roughly from the table and left from there.

"This kid is stubborn as a rock. It's hard to talk about." John paid for their cake. Though the excited Ara just wanted to eat cake together. Now it has failed.

He belain left the job for the sake of the girl's request but the end of the frustration he got.

Dhira who was standing behind the shelf that was pretending to be busy with his phone looked nervous after hearing the conversation. There was absolutely no thought that Ara did that. Among the heartbroken and sad he left the place with the intention of meeting Ara. He should thank you anyway. And tucked a little idea in his head considering Ara is Meli's son.

***

Ara returned to campus even though there were no more class hours. Going home it feels lazy to have to meet Jhon again. After he did not play with Dhira and Vanya his life became so lonely and boring. There are many other friends, but none like Dhira and Vanya. Others just love to venture into wealth and dating freely. It doesn't all go in his wits. Moreover, the guys just want to approach him and make him a couple to show greatness.

Until now the hidden heart is always the name of Jhon who lives. In silence he keeps his love tight so as not to make him hurt if Jhon put up a rejection that would surely hurt his heart again.

Slowly, Ara walked towards the park. In his hand there is already a snack and bottled drinks. He wanted to enjoy his food alone under the tree while reading a book.

But his feet stopped when in front of him was Dhira. His friend was looking at him.

"Dhira?"

"He em's. It's me." It's me." Answer Dhira. He stood straight with a flat face.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?"

"Want to meet you."

"Oh. We're talking in the canteen!"

"Hm."

The two girls went to the cafeteria. I ordered a cold drink. Unceasingly Ara smiled because she was happy to meet face to face with Dhira.

"How are you? Long time no see."

"Very bad. Fucked up and now I'm unemployed." Dhira is honest and intends to approach Ara.

"I might be accepted. Your daddy doesn't like me very much."

"Quiet down. I'll try. Wait for the news tomorrow."

Dhira. "Aaa..why did you do that? Shut up again."

"Huh? What's?" Ara pretentious put on a plain face.

"You're too good to me. What John said is true. That money is not a little. You've got yourself in trouble."

Ara fell silent with a frowning forehead. On his face was the question of where Dhira knew about the money.

"I'm glad I heard your conversation. If there's not just a question in my otaku."

"I can't see you having any trouble. As long as I can I want to help you." Ara answered with a serious mimic.

Dhira took Ara's hand "Thank you for doing it for me. Otherwise, that woman would probably always demean me." Both of Dhira's eyes were glazed.

"It's okay. I'm iklhas." Ara smiled and her eyes also glazed over.

"After I get the spell, I'll take it down.

"Liet down. If there isn't yet, I don't make it." Ara indeed could not control herself if it came to Dhira. Every hardship experienced by his best friend always makes him unable to leave his hands.

"You can keep it a secret if you leave the money to Meli. People don't need to know about that. That woman could be able to coo again. Please persuade Jhon not to say anything." Dhira Pinta.

"Same..." Ara with certainty.

"Okay, I'm waiting for you. It doesn't feel good to be unemployed."

"I'll work on it." Answer Ara.

"Why not work at Leo's company anymore?"

"The problem is Meli. That woman doesn't like me. I'm not comfortable working there." Dhira did not tell Ara about her mother.

"How about you and Leo?"

"Eitherway. I don't think I can hold on anymore."

"Kok until you have a debt to Meli?"

"Well, that woman fined me for everything Leo gave me."

"Ah she is a bad woman! What does Leo say?"

"He doesn't know anything. Don't tell Leo anything." Ara just nodded not asking any more.

In Dhira's heart was so hopeful at Ara's offer. If he can work at the camp that nurtures Ara more profitable himself to pressure Meli. This is the only way that Meli can be honest about Amelia's disappearance.

***

At Rabiga's residence, Ara ran to her room impatiently wanting to talk to her papa. Once there, he picks up his laptop and makes a video call with Robert.

"Fire..." He waved at Robert who was on the screen.

"Hm what's up? Your face looks radiant. Is there any happy news?"

"There's something I want to talk to Papi about."

"What?" Robert seemed to be not responding too much to Ara.

"Serious Pi. It's about Dhira. Andhira's my best friend."

"I'm not tired of getting tired of talking about it. I knew Papi was always irritated every time he heard that name. If nothing matters, say it. Papi's been busy!" Robert was in a hurry to speak quickly.

"Make Dhira work in our company. We'll be easy to keep an eye on when it's close to us. Wouldn't being close to the enemy be good for self-protection?"

"What's? Why did you arrive like this? Are you influenced by it?"

"No Pi. Actually I'm sure he's one hundred percent clean. But since Papi suspects it, make it in our cage. Jhon will watch him to prove it."

"Jhon a lot of work. He's the director. There's no time to do that. You don't be weird. It's dangerous for our company. Once he steals or divulges company secrets then the stakes are our own company." Robert was so strong with his mind.

"Ah I know. Let him be my bodyguard. He's a martial arts expert."

"No! That's very dangerous for you."

"Well, Pi is from where he has a job. Now he's unemployed."

"Didn't he work at the Garment Awards company?"

"Huh, Papi knew he worked there before?"

"Just hear the news."

"Well that Papi knows. I'm sure Papi knows she's a good girl, too. Never committed a crime or a member of a criminal. Please Papi. Help him." Ara was begging.

"Hasss...why should we bother thinking about him? That's life. Let him handle his own life."

"Pi.I will be the son of Papi obedient as long as not be told to LN. Give him a job."

Robert did not answer. He sat with his mouth tightly closed.

"Come Pi, I beg you once."

Robert remained silent.

"Please Pi. I'll be Papi's best son. As soon as I graduate I'll go straight into the company, learn about our company." Ara kept urging Robert. Actually he is more courageous because he knows his last Papi last looks happy. Several times when contacting him, the man always complied with his request.

Robert pulled his hair. Seemed heavy with his daughter's request. But also could not bear to see the persistence Ara asked him.
