Promises From the Past

Promises From the Past
Old friend


Astolfo tower, a hotel with skyscrapers in downtown Boston, is also now a meeting place for invited guests at fundraising events.


Of course, the purpose of the people behind the fundraising event is as a form of their concern for the progress of science that will later help humanity towards a better future.


Fundraising here is not like asking for free donations to each guest through a mobile box. But an auction of antiques, phenomenal artwork or historical relics that are deliberately sold to get an injection of research costs.


But on the other hand, the rich, the conglomerates and everyone who was part of the invitation just wanted to show themselves off and show off their wealth.


Of course the people at the event will not hesitate to compete with each other to raise the price of each item in the auction, even though they can only an ****** ***** used in use by Madonna, but can be millions of dollars because it does not want to lose to others.


Soldiers and Elissa got out of the car and handed the car keys to the parking lot, the two joined hands to walk on the red carpet as they entered the meeting hall.


The fake identification marks that Soldier and Elissa made state that they both now act as a married couple from the Wolfson family, a successful businessman engaged in pharmaceuticals and health services. It becomes a scenario if someone else invites them to talk about business.


There is no difficulty for the Soldier to pretend to be someone else, because all this time he has been undercover and everything is going smoothly.


Stepping in when the doorman drove them into the hall, where the fundraiser at the Astolfo tower hotel has a medieval ornament, sculptures sculpted by famous artists as well as classic paintings by Robert Montherwell are Expressionism and Abstractionism.


But it does not need to be explained in more detail about the Abstractionism painting, because what is seen by Soldiers is only a picture of the hills with the left side has a colorful lace and the right side has many black dots broke like a fireworks eruption, and the right side has a lot of black dots, cut a straight red line from each end.


I don't know what the painting means, maybe only God and Robert Montherwell know.


Inside the meeting hall was already full of invited guests, they chatted with each other and discussed the price of the outfit used. But Soldier and Elissa immediately searched for a subject for them to protect right now.


Edward Swalldwon, the man was enjoying the longest stale wine in the middle of the hall. Present together with the women to seek attention, because indeed, although difficult to accept but he is quite handsome.


Of course all will easily get the attention of the women, when they are good looking, and also the children of the rich.


"So what are we doing now ?." Ask Soldier.


"Stay here and monitor the situation." Answer Elissa.


"Eh that's boring...."


"What do you want ?."


Soldiers have other purposes...."Are you willing to waste time on a cocky guy like him, whereas around us there are plenty of expensive food for free."


"Whatever you want to do, but remember we have to take care of the boy without missing a single limb."


"I understand, don't worry." Relaxed Soldier replied.


As if without hesitation, without needing to hold back, one after another dishes were available on the buffet table, Soldier tasted.


"Ah... Good thing I didn't eat before I got here."


In this place Meat Wagyu super A5 was just a snack, Sembikiya queen strawberries that seeds can for motorcycle installments there are many and lying just like that.


The soldiers are a little sorry.... "I should have brought a plastic bag."


On the other side....


Rea stood quietly next to his father, Dirgan Mavendra is famous among other conglomerates because quite rarely the ranks of rich people in Indonesia will be invited guests in important events.


But indeed if the Mavendra Family has great connections in many countries, including every American state. So it is not strange when the people around him are so polite to Dirgan.


Until one puffed-up person came and patted Dirgan on the shoulder and hugged her familiarly. Rea was not interested in hearing what they were talking about.


"Neil, this is my daughter, Rea." Dirgan introduces to Rea.


"Surprisingly, you've grown up Rea, the last time I saw you when you were born and it's been seventeen years, who would have thought you'd grow up to be a beautiful woman like your mother." Neil said it was so familiar to be just a business friend.


Sure Rea was surprised...."Uncle, do you know my mother ?."


"Yes ... Of course, both of your parents were my college friends back then, and your father was really a stubborn man who never gave up pursuing his love for your mother." Neil laughed while telling a story.


Dirgan smiled bitterly, although it became a beautiful nostalgic story for them to remember, but as if he did not want to remember what happened to his wife.


"When I heard the news that Hana had died in an accident, I was so sorry I couldn't come to the owner at the time."


"It's okay Neil, it's all over so we can't possibly regret it." Reply Dirgan who smiled faintly.


But Neil glanced in all directions and he felt strange...."Dirgan, so don't you bring your son, Noe...."


Dirgan was surprised, but he could not erase the words Neil had heard by Rea. But soon Dirgan brought Neil to speak elsewhere.


Neil felt strange with Dirgan's attitude, he seemed not to want to talk about Hana or Noe in front of Rea.


Dirgan showed a serious face...."About the two of them, according to the results of the police at that time, Noe and Hana were killed..."


"I'm sorry, I don't know, I'm so sorry."


"It's not over, you should know, the mess that was going on inside Mavendra's family back then... I still can't believe that Noe and Hana died in an accident."


"Do you assume that everything that happened has something to do with the Mavendra family." Neil was smart enough to guess Dirgan's way of thinking.


"Yes that's right Neil.... They made a false report about Hana and Noe's death, but two years ago, I saw it for myself, if Noe's alive." Dirgan.


"Well what you do."


"I can't possibly bring Noe back for now, the people who want the power of the Mavendra family will do everything they can to kill Noe. So I can't bring her back yet."


"That's hard for you Dirgan."


"More than heavy, it's excruciating. Even though I'm the head of the family, getting rid of them is still impossible, all evidence of the crimes of the Mavendra family decades ago has been lost along with Hana." Answer Dirgan full of emotions.
