Secret Denis
Thirty-fourths

After finishing the Viola-filled dinner ritual, the four people sat back in the family room. Reno and Viola are still curious about Alex's story all along. Although a little reluctant to respond to every question from Viola, but not teraburung Alex tells a piece of the story of his journey.

Viola and Reno seemed enthusiastic to listen until they finally returned to discuss the behavior of Bhishma which was far from their expectations.

In the middle of their conversation, the ringing in Reno's phone distracted everyone.

Reno takes her phone and sees who's calling.

"Excuse me.." He said as he moved from his seat. He then exited the room from a side door that led straight to a garden. His movements did not escape Denis' attention. She even got up from her seat and went to the toilet to Alex and Viola. Actually, that's just the reason. She quietly approached where Reno was talking to her phone.

It appears that the man who is Alex's half-sister is seriously talking on the phone. His place was standing a bit away from Denis hearing range so he could not clearly hear what Reno was talking about. Denispun can not approach without being seen by Reno because the place where Reno stands is in a roomy place and very brightly lit by lights. He only watched from a distance while looking for a way to get closer to where Reno was.

But until Reno finished talking, Denis still could not get close to the guy. Finally he immediately moved from where he stood before Reno realized that there were people who were trying to listen to his talk.

"Who?" Alex asked as Reno sat back down.

"From Jonah's sir."

"Is there any info about my mom?" Mister Yunus was the personal lawyer of their family.

Reno sighed. His head shook slowly.

"I'm so sorry for everything you and Dad did to you. It seems like mama did contact Yunus sir. Tomorrow morning Jonah will come here and discuss this matter with Alex."

"Why not now?"

"Now it's too late. Tomorrow only. We'd better rest now."

"Reno's right. You better take a break. I'm sure, all this time you couldn't rest properly. You need a break, Lex." Viola chimed in on Reno's words. The fingers touched the back of Alex's hand.

"alright. I'll wait for him tomorrow." Alex got up from his seat, simultaneously removing his hand from Viola's hand. "Then, excuse me."

Without waiting for a response from Viola and Reno, Alex left the room. His eyes circulated to see the existence of Denis who had not rejoined them. Arriving on the top floor, Alex stepped foot into the room occupied by Denis. The door was to make sure Denis was inside.

The door opened not long after. Denis came out the door. Without asking permission, Alex stepped into the room. Denis frowned to see Alex who was already in his room. He closes the door and turns around following Alex.

"So Mr. Yunus called Reno. He said there was information about my stepmother." Alex stood by the window. His hand went into his pants pocket.

"Why did Jonah not call you directly? Or at least he's talking to you." Denis leaned against the dresser in the room. His eyes were fixed on Alex.

"I don't know. But tomorrow morning he'll come here to talk about this."

"Why not now. Papa Lo's problem is a very important problem. He should have known, should not procrastinate to discuss the problem of papa lo. The slightest information, it must mean a lot."

"You suspect something?"

Denis took a breath. He folded his hands in front of his chest. His eyes were against Alex's.

"Gue once said that we should always be vigilant. Whoever it is, we should be suspicious. Even your sister."

"I can't possibly suspect my own sister."

Denis grunts violently.

"Even the woman you call your mother has betrayed you. And you're not conscious at all."

"I really didn't think for that. But if Reno..."

"That's it. You won't be affected by my words unless there's real evidence." Denis shook his hand. He felt there would be no end to having to argue with Alex about Reno. That guy is too naive.

Alex took a breath. He can't blame Denis if he's suspicious of his sister. But he had no apparent reason to suspect Reno. He's just like himself. The son of Arga Dinata. So it feels very unlikely that Reno conspired with Tania to harm Arga Dinata.

Alex dropped his body on the bed. Clenched his head with his arms and looked at the ceiling of the room with a glaring gaze.

"Did they treat you well?" He got back up. Sit on the bed and squeeze her hair in frustration. He was very worried about the state of Arga Dinata.

"How can I sleep in peace while papa is in the hands of the wicked. You know for yourself how that person called Bhishma is."

"Gue thought he wouldn't do anything right now. Papa means a lot to him. He will definitely ask for something as a condition of releasing papa lo. And during that time, we'll keep figuring out their positions."

"But papa needs special care for his health. What if his health gets worse as long as it's in their hands?"

"Lo prayed a lot. May they still have humanity and treat papa lo well."

Alex dropped his back on the bed. Close his eyes tightly. His hands cupped his face. The unrest was clearly visible from his body movements.

Denis just looked at Alex who was lying still on the bed. I feel what that man feels.

Not long after, Alex's hand fell on his side. His smooth breathing sounded regular indicating he was already asleep in his sleep.

The notification sound of the message from his cellphone reads. Alex did give him a mobile phone to facilitate communication with his men. Especially Jack and Nerrow who he trusts to keep an eye on the suspicious movements of people around Alex's residence.

Denis checked his phone. A message from Jack saying that someone came out of the house using a car. Denis replies to the message by telling Jack's men to keep following the person who just came out of the house. She herself then got out of bed and out of her room.

With careful steps he checked the situation inside the house. If it is not wrong, then the one who came out just now is Reno. Given the current occupants of the house besides her and Alex, there were only Reno and Viola. It's impossible for Viola to come out in the middle of the night like this. Even he was half forced to be allowed to stay and stay at this house.

The twang on his phone distracts Denis. Immediately he checked the message he just entered. He then called the number that had just sent him a message.

"Where's bang?" Ask in a soft voice. His eyes looked around him. Not until someone else hears him talking on the phone.

"Gue's been following that guy..." Jack mentioned the physical characteristics of the person he was following. Mention the place that the person is now visiting.

Denis is very sure that the person who is being noticed by Jack is Reno. Its characteristics perfectly match the physical features of Reno. Turns out Reno came to a nightclub. Denis told Jack to keep a close eye on Reno.

Denis went back into the room. The sleepiness has already hurt him. He was stunned when he saw Alex sleeping on his back. Actually there is still a large place for him to lie there. But Denis prefers a sofa to rest his body. He's lying there. He stared at Alex who was opposite him. The man looked very good in his sleep. Slowly Denis' eyes closed indicating he could no longer resist sleepiness.

Morning's approaching. Viola tapped on Alex's room to take him to breakfast. Several times he knocked on the door of the room and called Alex's name, but the one who was called never came out. Finally he turned the door handle and pushed it slowly.

"Alex?" His feet stepped into the room. His eyes frowned at the empty and tidy bed. Did Alex get up and make his own bed? Viola again called out to Alex as she moved her legs closer to the bathroom. Maybe Alex was taking a shower, so he didn't hear her call. But he didn't hear any sound from the bathroom. There was no sound of water gurgling from inside.

Viola came back out of Alex's room after believing the man wasn't in his room. When he closed Alex's bedroom door, someone opened the door next door. Viola. He was shocked to see who had just emerged from behind that door. Alex looks out of there with messy hair. It seemed as if he had just woken up from his sleep.

"lex? You...?"

"Good morning, Vio.."

Alex went straight into his room. Leaving the dumbstruck Viola staring at the man disappeared behind the door. He shook his head before passing from the front door of Alex's room.

Thirty minutes later Alex went down to the dinner table. Denis walked beside her with his typical cold face. Viola who had already sat down at the table first, watched the two people silently. He could not deny that the two people who had just come had their own charms. Even though it looks very different.

Alex has a handsome face and radiates warmth. His eyes were soft with the hospitality that emanated even though he was not smiling. While Denis was hard-faced with a deep and cold gaze. The way they wear them is also different.

"Good morning, Vio.."

Alex pulls the chair over the table. Denis sat in a chair next to him, facing Viola.

"Good morning, Alex. Good morning, Denis." Viola threw her sweet smile greeting the two people who had just joined at the dinner table. Denis just raised his gaze. Then take the plate in front of him and start filling it with fried rice.

"Where's Reno?" Ask Alex.

"He's still in his room. Oh, there he is..." Viola answered. Her smile expanded when she saw the person Alex was asking was walking towards the dining table.

Everyone looked towards Reno who had just arrived. His clothes were perfectly neat with his coat and hair neatly arranged.

Reno greeted everyone and sat down next to Viola.

"Would you like to go to the office?" Alex looked at his sister for a moment.

"Yes. Is Alex going to come with me?" Reno took the bread and smeared it with peanut butter.

"What time is Jonah here?" Alex asked back. He scoops the fried rice onto his plate. Ever since she lived outside and lived with Denis, she's gotten used to having breakfast with something heavier. He took the same menu that Denis ate.

"O yes. I almost forgot. Maybe he'll be here soon. He said he'd come in the morning."

Alex nodded in understanding. They then eat in silence. Every now and then Viola looked at Alex in the mouth of his mouth.

"Yes, Reno. As much as possible do not let the incident that befell papa spread out there. It is very important that we keep this news from being known by many people. I don't want papa's safety until it's threatened because of it." Alex looked at his sister seriously.

"Of course, brother. I understand that too." Reno nodded. The silence went on for a while. Until then, Viola's voice was addressed to Alex.

"Alexes..Will we have dinner tonight?" Ask doubtfully. Reno slowed the mouth. His eyes looked at the bread he was holding, but his ears were sharp at what Alex was going to say.

Alex looked at Viola for a moment.

"Sorry Vio. This is no time for such a thing. You know the problem I'm facing. And I'm quite surprised if you ask such a thing at a time like this."

"sorry. But I don't mean to trivialize your problems. It's just, I...."

"Good morning.." A voice cut through Viola's speech. Everyone looked at the source of the voice.

"Sir Jonah.good morning. Come on, please sit down." Alex gestured for the man who had just arrived to take his place at the dinner table. But Jonah refused politely. He prefers to wait in the study room until Alex finishes his breakfast.
