PAST VIDEO SCANDALS
If Only I Had Reunited

Bagas immediately walked out of his room when the secretary told him that a friend named Benny had come to visit his office this afternoon.

Benny's arrival was like a surprise for Bagas. Because they haven't seen each other for long. Even after two years he returned to Jakarta, there has never been a chance for him or Benny who is now living outside the city to be reunited.

Bagas found his old friend was sitting on the sofa waiting with eyes wide and eyes watching the room around him.

" Hey, Ben!" sapa Bagas's.

Benny turned his head towards the door when he heard the voice of Bagas, who called out to him.

" Hey, Gas!" Benny immediately got up and walked closer and did a fist bump until they hugged briefly because they never met for a long time.

" A long time no see, Ben!" Bagas recalled how long they had never met in person, although he often communicated by phone with Benny.

" Since I 'followed' you fly to the USA, Gas." said Benny chuckled. He did come to Cengkareng release Bagas departure to America secretly without being known by Adibrata who helped bring Bagas to the Land of Uncle Sam. Benny could only talk to Bagas in the toilet. Because Bagas was a heavily guarded prisoner, he could not move freely because there were two guards guarding him. Even when going to the toilet, the heir to Adibrata's wealth was escorted by both bodyguards.

" You're like a bird in a cage, Gas. It's good you didn't get shackled by your parents. Hahaha ..." Benny sneered at what Bagas was going through back then. However, Benny understood. The figure of Adibrata who is very dominant and hard certainly can not be opposed by Bagas who is young and alive still depends on parents. Moreover, Bagas is used to living well with all the facilities fulfilled. Maybe if he were Bagas, he would prefer what parents say, rather than risking hard life and suffering.

Bagas just smiled hearing Benny's innuendo. He realized that he had been weak in the face of the decisions made by his dominant Papa to rule his life.

" Oh yeah, Ben. Have you had lunch? We'll just eat out, how?" Bagas glanced at the watch in his hand that had already shown pu kul 12.30 minutes, and coincidentally he also wanted to fill the stomach so as to invite Benny to go to lunch together.

" Can, Gas. That's why I'm here at lunch, so you can treat me. Hahaha ..." Benny chuckled to end his sentence.

" You didn't tell me you wanted to come here first, Ben. Good thing today I don't have a schedule to meet clients." Bagas grabs Benny's shoulder and walks towards the elevator to get down to the basement, where he parks his car.

" I want to surprise you, Gas! If I call you first, not the surprise of his name," Benny said again chuckling.

Ting

The two of them entered the elevator when the elevator door opened, until they finally got out of the elevator on the basement floor. And now they are preparing to leave Bagas' office, with Bagas himself driving his car.

" Oh yeah, you're in Jakarta? On a personal errand or business?" tanya Bagas when the car driven by him passed on one of the streets of Jakarta.

" Get assignments from the office until tomorrow. Early in the day I will also return to Surabaya, kok." replied Benny told the reason he was in Jakarta at this time.

" Oh ...."

" When were you planning on getting married to your fiance, Gas? Don't forget my law on marriage, huh!? Surely I try to come even though I have to come all the way from Surabaya." Benny mentions Bagas and Evelyn's wedding plans, because Benny heard the news about Bagas and Evelyn's engagement earlier.

Bagas turned his head at a glance towards Benny, then refocused on his wheel by blowing a rough breath.

" I don't know, Ben! It is also possible that the marriage will not take place" Bagas said.

" What do you mean, gas? You're not getting married to Evelyn, are you?" benny asked surprised by the sentence Bagas said earlier.

" I've got news about Indhira, Ben. He is still in Jakarta until now," said Bagas.

" Huhh?? Seriously?? Have you met Indhira? Where's where?" Benny immediately flocked Bagas with a few questions. The news delivered by Bagas really made him shocked.

" I haven't met Indhira in person, but I know when I can find him. It turns out that all this time he always visited the tomb of his parents, Ben. Why don't I think in that direction!?" Bagas cursed his own spirit kebo, because never thought to find information Indhira up to the tomb of Indhira's parents. Though when sad and missed his parents, Indhira always visited the graves of his parents.

" Is that why you doubt your wedding plans, Gas?" ask Benny later.

" I haven't been able to forget Indhira from my heart and mind, Ben!" Bagas expressed the feelings he felt were truthful about Indhira.

" But, you haven't met Indhira directly, have you? What if he's married?" Benny felt Bagas was too quick to make a decision.

" I'm sure he's not married, Ben! Because according to the guard of the tomb there, Indhira always make a pilgrimage alone without being accompanied by anyone. If she's married, at least, her husband's gonna drive her there." Bagas was so sure of his feeling that Indhira had not married.

" But, that's no guarantee you can come back with him, Gas! Not necessarily, he wants to take you back. Especially if he's always avoiding you." Benny wasn't sure Bagas would easily get an apology from Indhira.

" That's what I want to fight for, Ben! Get sorry and make amends for my mistakes first to him!" firmly Bagas.

" By severing your engagement to Evelyn?" Benny did not expect Bagas would be as determined to end the engagement that was held luxury some time ago.

" Yes, that's the risk" said Bagas.

" What about your Papa? I'm sure your Papa won't approve of your plan, Gas! Especially now that you are engaged to your Papa friend's son. It will be hard for you and Indhira to be together." Benny asked Bagas to consider the impact that would occur if Bagas still decided to pursue Indhira.

" I think it's time I made my life choice now, Ben!" firmly Bagas.

" What if your father threatens to withdraw all your property including the company you're leading, Gas?" Knowing Adibrata's stubborn character, and able to do anything with his power, Benny fears Adibrata will still do the same to hinder Bagas and Indhira's relationship.

Be quiet for a moment. Bagas consciously, choosing Indhira is the same as herding himself into a problem. But he must be ready to accept that. Including accepting the worst decision from his father.

" I'm not just worried about that, Gas. There's something else that might happen if you stick to your stance." There was something else Benny thought.

" What thing?" Bagas turned to look at Benny.

" I'm worried about Indhira, Gas! I'm afraid your father will intimidate Indhira if you leave your fiancee. You certainly still remember, how your father used to pressure Mr. Marcel and Mr. Leo to get Indhira out of school, when obviously it was your fault." Benny reminded. Sosal Adibrata's unjust attitude towards Indhira.

" I'm afraid that your Papa will blame Indhira again, because your Papa thinks Indhira has made you end your engagement to Evelyn, Gas! If this is the case, Indhira will suffer again." Benny explained the bad thing that might happen with Bagas' decision. Benny felt sorry for Indhira.

" I promise to protect Indhira, Ben! If I used to be unable to do anything, this time I should be able to guard and protect him from anyone, including from the actions my Papa will take!" firmly Bagas, it seems that it can no longer be shaken by his determination.

Benny took a long breath. Although Bagas vowed to guard and protect Indhira, it was not a guarantee that Indhira would be safe from trouble.

" We'll just eat here, yeah!?" Bagas directs his car into the courtyard of a typical Sundanese restaurant that he happened to pass.

***

Azkia and Indhira were already inside the restaurant and eating the food they ordered while having a light conversation. Azkia is trying to raise the confidence of Indhira who was slumped due to yesterday's events. It is not easy for Indhira to face this problem, especially Indhira has an introvert nature, especially,

" You haven't dated since you broke up with your boyfriend, Indhira?" azkia asked on the sidelines of their chat.

" I never opened my heart again to be close to another man, Mom. I'm still traumatized by what happened before" Indhira told the truth.

" But, a lot of men are expressing love to you, right?" With a beautiful face and attitude Indhira who has been known to be gentle and polite, certainly not difficult for men to fall in love with the figure of Indhira.

Indhira just nodded his head slowly. He did not dare to say using speech, for fear of being considered arrogant because many men liked.

" How old are you now?" ask Azkia later.

" This year is twenty-six years, ma'am." replied Indhira.

" Twenty-six years?" Azkia nodded her head while thinking. " Your age is ripe for a household, you know! You can't keep your heart shut like this, Indhira! You must rise! You deserve your future happiness. You deserve to be loved and to love someone and then to be married and have children." Azkia tries to continue to motivate Indhira not to continue to be trapped with the trauma of her past.

" I still don't have confidence, Mom. Is anyone still willing to accept me with my past like that?" Pessimistic tone of the sentence spoken by Indhira.

" Among men who like you, there must be someone who really sincerely loves you, Indhira" said Azkia later.

" I don't know, Mom. Not only did I lose my chastity, but I also had a viral video scandal. If there really is a man who wants to accept my past, not necessarily his family will accept me. My digital track record probably won't go away until anytime." Indhira breathed a heavy sigh, even felt pain in his chest when talking about the viral video.

" Hmmm, what if you met your ex-boyfriend again?" ask Azkia suddenly.

" You mean mother?" Indhira did not expect Azkia to give such a question.

" If you meet back with your former lover, and he invites you to reciprocate, invite you to establish your relationship that had run aground. What's your attitude?" Azkia was curious about the attitude that Indhira would take.

" I don't think that's possible, Mom." Indhira did not want to dream, especially regarding his relationship with Bagas.

" All that could happen, right? You believe it, don't you? If people knew what my relationship and my husband was originally like, they wouldn't believe that we're now a happy married couple." Azkia tells how the story of her with her husband to finally live happily with their children.

" My husband and I from childhood, when Elementary School came before that incident, we were hostile to each other. Never get along. If you meet always noisily, even to physical fights. I once kicked my husband, my husband even threw me into a fish pond so bad he was the same as me. Hahaha ..." Azkia recalled her youth back then, when she and Raffasya were still hostile towards each other.

" Time, Mom? But Mr. Raffa and Mr. Kia always look romantic, it's hard to believe that Mom and Dad were ever hostile." Indhira was so amazed to hear the love story of her boss that it was not as beautiful as she had ever imagined. Because Indhira once thought Azkia and Raffasya were lovers who loved each other and eventually they married.

" I used to think that Mom and Dad had been in love since before marriage" said Indhira.

" We can never guess what our life story will look like in the future, Indhira. I actually had a boyfriend at the time of the incident with my husband which eventually caused me to get pregnant," Azkia continued later.

Indhira mende legitimately, hearing the love story of Azkia and Raffasya makes her wonder. Could it be that there was a miracle so that he could also obtain happiness like that of his boss. But Indhira realized, the story of himself and Azkia is different, at least Azkia was born from a family that always supported Azkia, unlike her who is now an orphan. Even the remaining family did not care about it, but it only made it even more destroyed.

" But the problems I'm facing are more complex than the ones I've been facing, Mom. This is lucky, Mr. Raffa can immediately take the decision to take responsibility of his own will, without any coercion or prohibition from anyone. Different from me first .." lirih Indhira, although he knew Bagas had promised to be responsible for him, but Bagas was unable to oppose his parents.

" Yes too, .." Azkia said, nodding her head. While his eyes were staring at the two men who were walking in from the door of the restaurant. One of the men looks very prominent. His aura of leadership radiated from the man's face and appearance. At that time, Azkia immediately suspected that the man was a CEO or young executive who had an important position in a company.
