"Ara already knows everything. Let him decide for himself what he will go through. If it had been a few days Ara had not come back here, it means she chose Atmaja. Then let it be. He has the right to choose who he lives with."
Jhon.
"And then give the company back to them." Continue Robert. The man seemed to take a slight deep breath after finishing his sentence.
"That means all the fighting, it's over?" Ask Jhon.
"As long as they don't bother me, we, let's just say it's over." Robert's Sahut.
Jhon could hardly believe the man in front of him was the Robert he had known all along. His master's grudge was like a fire that could not be extinguished by any effort. Even small things can make it blazing. And with his own hands several times threatened the family.
The room was quiet. Both Robert and Jhon are soluble in each other's minds.
"I'm not here long. Take care of everything well. I trust you all." After a few minutes, Robert spoke to leave again.
"But..." John did not continue he said as soon as Robert raised his hand.
"Tomorrow, I stopped by the company for a while. Someone wants to see me."
"Pi, the work here is very much and I'm just alone. It would be nice for Papi to stay a few more days to guide me. Especially with the problems associated with Ara."
"You can! I know that!" Robert said with a serious face.
This is one of Robert's strengths. Never dropped his subordinates despite complaining. He always motivated me to be optimistic. Especially on Jhon.
"It's important not to get off the path I set." Robert's message with eyes staring hard.
"alright. I'll work it out. "But, what if Ara still wants to be with us, but Atmaja forces her? What am I supposed to do?" The hardest thing he's dealt with is Ara.
"I'm sure Ara doesn't want to come back. But if that is the case, do not be too hard on Atmaja. The mastermind of all of them is Meli. He's gone. It was enough for them to bear the blame that the woman had made. They also deserve to live with their daughter."
"All right." Jhon understood. Robert really did let Ara go.
Robert sleeps at home tonight. The house where she chatted with Ara. He went into Ara's room before going to her room. He looked around the room with heavy breathing. Ara's figure was reflected in him. A great sense of loss in his heart. It even felt like the wall of his heart was undermining because he had to take it off.
A jolly girl who always goes against her wishes but still submits to her as well even though she has to go through various dramas.
The girl who had filled the void of her life all this time.
The girl who gave him enlightenment so as to refrain from all despicable and evil deeds.
The girl he finally loved was like his own flesh and blood. As time went on, it made her forget that the girl's blood was the same blood as the woman she hated.
Now he must be released willingly for the happiness of the girl as well. There remained a sense of guilt in his heart that had captivated the girl within the scope of his grudge. Has made the girl as an instrument of his revenge against Meli.
He could insist on adopting Ara if he wanted to. But he didn't do it. He felt that there was enough of all the grudges and falsities associated with Ara. Tired and wanting to end it all. He wanted to live a normal life without any more grudges. In any case, no matter how he held Ara with him, one day the truth would surely be revealed.
Close the door of Ara's room and stand with her head bowed. At the pressure of his chest that felt pain and quiet. Then it raised its head towards the ceiling and sounded like it was pulling its snot deeply. After taking a deep breath, he lowered his head until he was bowed. After taking a deep breath the man left, leaving Ara's room.
John also stood not far behind Robert. He could see that the man was really lost. Only this time did he see the man so sad and sorry.
'It turns out that Papi is hiding his sense of loss. It is even more sad to see it so' Inner Jhon. He also went to his room.
***
It was early in the morning, and John and Robert were already in the car. They're headed for the company. There were many documents as well as other letters waiting for his signature.
The time that Robert had to use as short as possible turned out to take until noon. Not to mention that his guests who promised to meet at ten in a restaurant near the company turned out to be pushed back until one in the afternoon.
He stretched his body after he finished with the pile of important documents. After cleaning his equipment he got up about to leave for the restaurant because it was one or less ten minutes.
The guest had already arrived at the restaurant. A woman of her age greeted her with a wave. Take him to the table that has been ordered.
"I'm a few minutes late." Said Robert in fluent English.
"Ah no. It's not one o'clock either." The woman replied in very funny Indonesian. This woman is an investor in Robert's company in the Netherlands.
"Oh, it turns out you are more proficient with the language here. Okay, let's just use my language so you can." Robert laughed softly. His charismatic face was also fanatical looking so handsome but still displayed a cold and unattainable aura.
"You're getting older and better looking." Praise the woman with a tongue.
"The older the reog. You're wrong." Robert laughed softly. This time, the laughter was fake.
"Hahaha..what is reog?" The woman laughed and asked.
"Hahah.means broken, aging means."
The woman laughed again. "Okay, just get to the topic. What about my offer? Have you thought about it? I even gave you a reward whose value was multiplied by times. I want your villa and its grounds." A woman named Agatha Daisy got a leak that the owner of a resort that has long been in his car in Bali turned out to be Robert, his own friend.
"Hahaha.why are you so stingy? You have a lot of money and effort. Why hold back a soil that's worth just the tip of one of your companies' fingernails?" The woman laughed seducedly.
"Because the land is not mine." Robert again. This time the mimic turned more serious and became stiff.
"You don't have to lie to me. I already know everything. You're the owner." Agatha looked at Robert with a triumphant look.
"In that case, the information you get is not true."
"Ck, you're so good at tricking me. But it doesn't work. Okay, tell me how much more you're asking."
"Hahhh, you're just wasting time." Robert reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper in the form of a certificate. "See this clearly. The name and the stamp on this paper is not mine. The original owner was him." Point Robert to a name on the paper.
He was tired of being chased by Agatha for the land and villas he protected. Not to mention the other side. They had a big crush on the land. They want to make a resort there. Which will certainly increase their income.
Agatha frowned. The information he got was wrong. He read the name on the paper. Robert did not lie. The man is not really a strategic resort owner who has a large area of extraordinary land. "You are a good businessman who already has anything. Why are you tired of being the housekeeper?" Agatha asked with sharp eyes. There is a great desire in those eyes.
"He's my friend. He entrusted that to me." Robert answered with a mysterious face. And Agatha saw an unusual twinkle when the man said the land belonged to his friend.
"Huh, weird. All I know is that you entrust all your efforts to your subordinates. Why do you want to be tired of other people's possessions." Agatha said cynically. He could not believe what came out of Robert's mouth. "And as far as I know, you don't have any girlfriends. The owner of the certificate is a woman." Look at the woman with a probing look.
"For me he is the most important. That's why I'm bothered. Sorry if you're disappointed." Robert drank some water and stood up.
"Why should hurry. Our lunch doesn't need to be messy." Agatha pointed to the food that was already in session.
Robert thought for a moment. Just now he managed to reject Agatha the accomplished businessman who had a notoriously ruthless accomplice. He felt the need to finish this lunch so that Agatha could be a little happy. He did not want to deal anymore with the woman who always looked at him with a hungry look. He really doesn't like.
He sat down and took a spoon. Eat slowly. She knew Agatha was staring at her unblinking. Ignoring that woman is the best. Pura is busy eating and enjoying it.
While one table was across from them, Dhira was also having lunch with Alvian. They were out of work and Alvian took her out to eat together and happened to be the last place they visited, not far from the Dafi restaurant.
From earlier the conversation of two parents on his left side was enough to confiscate his hearing. Silently he followed the conversation while enjoying a meal. Not spared his main task is always to check around looking for the whereabouts of his mother. That's why whenever Alvian asks him to always obey him in order to find his mother.
As the burly Robert pulled something out of his suit pocket, Dhira realized something had fallen under the table. But there was no desire to tell the owner. Other than foreigners, he did not bother. He kept silent as he occasionally glanced down the table. His eyes were trying to investigate the white object folded the size of a palm on the tip of the man's shoe. Something caught his attention. Something familiar in the middle of it. But his memory is not very clear about what it is.
"Eat a lot. Look at your body it's so skinny." Alvian added rice to Dhira's plate.
Dhira did not refuse. He let Alvian arrange the food on his plate. Even if seen by others, they look romantic with all the attention of Alvian.
Suddenly, Dhira stopped eating. He stood up when his desk neighbor had left the table. He moved quickly under the table. Pick up the white thing and hold it.
His blood instantly jolted gushing as he opened the thing. A white cloth embroidered with lotus flowers with a painting of the letter D. "This is my handkerchief." Dhira's thoughts immediately led to his mother. He ran outside the restaurant. Stepping fast and long towards the parking lot on the side.
"Hey...! Wait!" Dhira shouted to Robert who had gotten into the car. And the car moved slowly and then long ago. He ran towards the side of the road ahead of the car out onto the highway, but his attempt failed because the car was faster than his feet. He continued to run after the car even though he was far behind.
"Hah, that's Jhon's car. Yeah, well, I memorized the license plate number." He suddenly remembered the car number.
Without a second thought he intended to go to Jhon's house. He must come to her now in order to meet the man.
"Dhi, what's wrong with you? How do you run?" Alvian was behind him.
"I borrowed your car! Hurryttt! Give me the keys!" Shouted Dhira. He took the key from Alvian's hand.
"Let me take you. I'm driving." Alvian raised his hand high to keep the key away.
"I'm running out of time heng*ek!" Dhira hit Alvian's thigh until the young man fell down. He grabbed the key and immediately ran towards the car.
"Dhi, wait for me! That's my car! You have no right to force me!" Alvian ran limping after his car.
"I borrow it first!" Shouted Dhira from the window and passed like a typhoon. He raced all the vehicles in front of him to make Alvian scream hysterically in fear, seeing the way Dhira carried his car.
Dhira slows down the speed of the car after finding Jhon's car. He immediately positioned the car right behind.
After twenty minutes, they reached the residential area of Rabiga. Jhon frowned seeing a car follow him to the front of the house. He knew that the car was always behind him. But did not expect to follow him to the residence.
It didn't go down right away. Choosing to wait for the next action from the uninvited guest.
Tokkk...
The window glass opposite him was knocked. He lowered the glass and was shocked to see the impatient Dhira continuously knocking on the door.
"You? What are you doing here?" Jhon jumped down.
Dhira opened the car door and checked inside. "Why is there no one? Obviously I saw him sitting here." Dhira Mumbles.
"God!" Jerk Jhon while pulling Dhira's hand to get out of the car.
"Where's the guy you brought from the restaurant?" Dhira asked with a hunting breath.
