Revenge of the Tax Officer
Ayy...

The multipurpose room of a five-star hotel is transformed into a very beautiful room decorated with white roses. The impression of luxury feels thick from all sides as a form of recognition for the owner of the event. Jo Group coupled with PH Entertainment is a matching blend in the business world.

Sastri stepped slowly behind his parents to the main room where Jonathan's engagement to Kamisha as a former friend was held.

“What an incredible blend” muttered Sastri while staring at the two prospective brides standing with their parents.

The event guide informs if the peak event is about to begin. Sastri sat next to his mother to see one by one the procession of Jonathan's engagement until the end with the peak event that is the exchange of rings between the two and then covered with a kiss given Jonathan on the lips Kamisha.

The boisterous sound of applause from the invitations made the atmosphere even more lively until suddenly the lights around the two were extinguished and then changed with floodlights accompanied by music. The two danced in front of the visitors.

Anger emanated from the look in Sastri's eyes as he stared at the two dancing. Sastri turned away from them. Every smile that Kamisha showed made Sastri more angry until the oath continued to say in his heart.

After the dance is over, it's time for the guests to congratulate and time for Sastri's parents. He walked behind his mother but with his head raised he kept walking elegantly to congratulate his ex.

Mr Mahardika shakes hands with Mr Joseph like any other businessman then, “This is your daughter Mr Mahardika?”

Mr. Mahardika who was congratulating Jonathan suddenly stopped and stared intently at Joseph. Sastri sees his father's gaze as implying the words ‘don't disturb my son!’

At the same time, Mr. Joseph seemed to be laughing at his father. “We take a photo first, Mr. Mahardika.”

Sastri was directed until he unknowingly stood next to Jonathan. After finishing taking pictures, Sastri shook Jonathan's hand, “Happy!”

“Thank you.” Jonathan replied briefly.

“Sastriiiiii..tell me you have arrived. I'm so happy and you're just getting pretty.”

Kamisha immediately hugged Sastri as if they were close friends. While at a table, Bang Bonar was looking towards the stage of the event.

“Kamisha knows Lisa?” he asked Delia who was busy with her phone.

“Where is it?”

“That!” show Bang Bonar as Sastri steps off stage.

“That's not Lisa, she's our college friend Sastri. And one more thing, he was dating Jonathan.”

“What? How's story?”

“Length. Bottom line, his ex-girlfriend is engaged to his ex-friend.”

“So, Kamisha is her former friend too?”

“Iya.”

“Interesting!”

Sastri came out of the event room, his chest felt very stifling especially when he came back to face Jonathan even to shake his hand. Both of his parents still met with fellow businessmen and it certainly won't be for a while.

A park not far from the event building is quite refreshing for those who feel the tightness of being in the crowd inside there. Sastri inhaled oxygen several times to relieve the tension in his mind. His emotions also peaked when he saw the cold eyes of Jonathan when he met him.

“Hai Sastri, how are you?” delia

“You!”

“Yes, i. Wh why? Don't tell me you're surprised to see me because I should be surprised to see you coming. Surely Jonathan and Kamisha are very happy to see you want to be present at their engagement event.”

“Not that enemy should be approached?”

“Oh, wow.you're so evil Sastri. I am not your enemy but your friend. You don't lose your memory, do you?”

“Entah.”

“How does it feel to sleep with Adit? Have you visited him in prison? Do you accept money from him? You're not that poor, are you, Sas?”

Sastri was about to leave from there but one of his hands was immediately pulled by Delia. “Remember Sastri, not because you feel smart so you can fool me. Adit's stupid, but I'm not.”

“You are indeed not stupid but lower than that.” Sastri threw Delia's hand and entered the room again. Sastri who was about to enter the main room was again surprised by a different name.

“I need to call you Lisa or Sastri?”

Sastri had to breathe again. “Bang Bonar,”

“Yes, I did not expect to be fooled by this beautiful plain face of yours.”

“I have my own reasons for not saying my real name.”

“I know and I also do not ask you to be honest.”

“so there's nothing to talk about anymore. I'm sorry!”

Sastri left Bang Bonar with a million questions on his mind. “Pa-“

Sastri again had to be surprised by the unexpected backups in front of him at the moment. “Nak, come! Meet this Andrew. He's a new investor in our company. You're one campus, aren't you?”

“Iya.” Sastri received a helping hand from Andrew with raging feelings. Especially when he sees his papa cue. And the next person he did not want to meet actually came to greet him.

“Hi, Sas. How are you doing? Where have you been?”

Sastri felt like he wanted to spit out his stomach into the face of Melik who was in the style of familiar snobs by coming and immediately hugging and kissing his left and right cheeks.

“You know Mr Melik?” ask Mr. Mahardikan to the princess.

“We are one campus, Mr.”

Melik had a long conversation with Mr. Mahardika and Andrew. Sastri chose to accompany his mother to the toilet.

When Sastri came out of the toilet, he lost his mother. While on a bench in the back of the building, a woman was sitting alone with tears streaming down her cheeks. Sometimes he wiped his face with a handkerchief.

“Ayu! You're Ayu right? Oh my god, I miss you so much. Where have you been? Me and Mas Dika keep looking for you but we always fail.”

Ariyanti's mother hugged the woman tightly as if she did not want to be separated anymore.

“Yanti, -“

“Iya, Ayu. It's me Yanti. You haven't changed much. Only your hair looks gray.”

Ariyanti's mother's laughter is inversely proportional to the woman named Ayu.

“Yanti-“

Not done yet the woman spoke, some bodyguards had already come and directly took her away from there. While Ariyanti's mother who was about to pursue a woman named Ayu was immediately blocked by one of the guards.

“Mama, where the hell is –“

“Let's find your Papa!”

In confusion, Sastri follows his mother all the way to the venue. Mr. Mahardika who was busy chatting with Melik and Andrew was immediately surprised to get a message from Ariyanti's mother on her cellphone.

“I met Ayu and now she's been taken by some men in uniform. I'm sure that Joseph's been holding him.” all along
