Secret Denis
Thirty Nine

Denis floated his gaze looking for the person who had told him to come to that place. A very comfortable cafe when he entered it. His eyes caught a familiar figure in the corner. He immediately moved his foot toward the man. Pull up a chair and sit in front of Alex while greeting him.

"alone?" Alex did not answer that question immediately. He waved his hand calling for a waitress who immediately came over to them. Asking Denis what food he was going to order then mentioned it to the woman.

"So..You failed to follow that car?" Alex asked when the waitress had already left their table.

"That's because you called me. He ran away and I lost track."

"sorry. I really need to talk to you."

"So how? Did you meet them?"

"On the phone. The point is that bisma guarantees Papa's safety while we don't involve the police. They will hand over papa once they get their passport and country ticket. They want us to get everything ready as soon as possible."

"Where are they going?"

"Switzerland.."

Denis snorted at the request of those people.

"They're really shameless people. How can your family get involved with someone like that?"

"I don't know. I won't be fighting that right now either. What matters to me is your safety. I'm so worried about Papa's current state."

Their conversation came to a halt when the food they ordered came. The female crew put all Alex and Denis orders on the table. A polite smile to the two then passed to serve the other customer.

Alex and Denis started eating.

"What about the house you're intending? Is there something you got in there?" Alex started eating his food.

"There's nothing in there. But strangely, the house was heavily guarded. Also the car came out of the garage. And more suspiciously, he escaped once he knew we were there. Bang Jack was also very sure that there was suspicious activity in the house. His men gave me the info after watching the house for a few days."

"Then? You said two of his guards could you take them off? Where are they now? Did they give you a little information?"

"Bang Jack is the same Nerrow who takes care of them. They don't want to tell me anything. They keep saying that it's an empty house and they get paid just to keep the house because the owner left it. I told you to be let go. We'll look into their activities again."

Alex nodded his head. He chews his food slowly. His mind was still filled with worry for his father. Although Bisma had promised to take good care of her father, but Alex could not trust the person who had clearly betrayed her father. That's not all. More than that, Alex had even felt the man's ruthless hand as it shot a hot lead into his chest. Anything the man could have done to his papa at this time. Moreover, his father was in a helpless state.

Alex took a breath. Shaking his head cast a bad shadow that might have befallen his papa. If he does not act quickly and immediately find the father, it is not impossible that the health of his father will get worse and maybe his father's life will not be saved again.

Imagining it made Alex put down the spoon he was holding. Take a glass and gulp the liquid inside until the toilet.

Denis watches Alex's behavior while chewing his food. Swallow it with great difficulty and put the spoon on the plate.

"What did Jonah say about this?" he looked at Alex. Alex nodded slowly.

"So I signed some papers on the transfer of power of some shares in my name to Tania's property with Jonah sir. I had to do it. All for papa."

"Did Reno know about this?"

Alex smiled wryly.

"Eitherway. He doesn't seem to care about this." Alex seems frustrated with the problems he faces.

"Of course he behaves like that. He's the son of that woman." Denis scratched his lips. Recalling Reno dislike immediately reached his mind. In a single glance he could already guess what kind of a guy it was. Denis can see from Reno's unfriendly attitude. And she can clearly see how Reno behaves towards Alex who is her own brother, despite being a different father.

"This should be discussed at the shareholders meeting. But it's an emergency and it's also a secret. I don't want to make a furore between shareholders. I also don't want to let people know the real situation, until my father is completely safe." Alex added with a soft voice.

Denis stared with sympathy at the man who seemed to be in a state of slump. Feeling noticed, Alex raised his gaze. For a moment the eyes of the two clashed. But a few seconds later both of them threw their eyes elsewhere. Suddenly, there was an awkward feeling between the two. Until things become quiet for a moment.

"I'm done. Do we go straight home or do you still want to go somewhere else?" Alex broke the silence between the two. Food still has a lot left. But his appetite was gone. Denispun's food hasn't been spent.

"Gue.want to meet Jack first. Anyway, I'm using the housekeeper's motorbike."

"You want to return the bike?"

"If so, I'll go with your bike. You'll come home with me."

"What if you have nothing else to do?"

"Enough for today. I'm also still waiting for my confidant's investigation. Actually Om Bhishma warned me not to send anyone to papa nyari. But I can't keep quiet about letting papa in that guy's possession."

"Hopefully your men can find papa lo as soon as possible."

Alex confirms Denis's words. He then waved his hand at a cafe employee and gestured to calculate his bill. He felt very lazy to go to the cashier and pay for the food they had eaten. It felt like all of his energy was drained out after passing through today and thinking about his papa state. It seemed like only he himself was worried about his papa, whereas Reno, he had no regard for it at all.

At the door were two people who had just entered the place. Once circulating his gaze to look for an empty table, his eyes immediately caught the whereabouts of Alex and Denis spelled in a corner.

"Look who we found in this place." The young man grabbed the hand of the beautiful woman who came with him. He moved his chin pointing at the two people still sitting opposite each other.

"Alex?" The girl's lips were muttering.

"See them. Isn't that disgusting?"

The girl did not answer. He steps his foot toward the table where Alex is. He arrived next to Alex to coincide with the arrival of a woman who handed him a bill of payment.

"Alex?" The girl's eyes looked at the two people before her in turn.

"Vio?" Alex handed over some money in accordance with the receipt given by the cafe employee woman. Then his eyes turned to Viola who was still standing beside the table.

"Who are you?" Alex got up followed by Denis who did the same. Viola did not have time to reply, the young man who had come with him was already next to him.

"Oh. Reno. You guys want to eat too? Too bad, Denis and I just finished. We're going home."

"Dearly enough. We rarely meet in a place like this." Reno smiled faintly. His eyes glanced at the silent Viola with an unreadable expression.

"Maybe next time we can eat together in a place like this. Now, I have to go." Alex glanced at Viola, then gestured for Denis to leave the place immediately. Denis nodded his head and immediately left Reno and Viola, following Alex's quick steps who had already walked away from the place.

For a moment Viola stood still and stared at Alex's departure.

"Hey.ayo sit." Reno severed Viola's gaze at Alex's shadow that disappeared behind the door.

"Reno. Please tell me what my flaws are so Alex is never the slightest bit interested in me." Viola threw out his body lethargicly. His eyes were blurry and shrouded in pain in the face of a reality that was very difficult for him to accept. For a long time she harbored feelings of love for a man she had known since she was a child. But never the slightest sense of it was reciprocated by Alex.

Alex has always been nice to her. But the door of his heart seemed to be locked dead and there was not the slightest gap for Viola to enter. Various ways Viola has done to get Alex's attention. But all in vain. Alex even started to keep his distance from him. Even since Alex's return from the accident, she's been getting away from Viola. It was as if the presence of Viola before him had no meaning at all.

Undeniably, the heartache of being always ignored by Alex makes Viola want to give up on that feeling. But the feeling of love that he has, is a feeling that can not be removed just like that. It cannot be replaced by anyone for now. Viola's feelings were too deep for the man.

"You knew? You are a perfect woman. There is no other woman more than you." Reno stared fixedly at the beautiful girl in front of him. He said it wasn't just because he wanted to comfort the girl. But that was how Viola was in his eyes. He reveals what is in his heart.

So deep was Reno's gaze staring at Viola. Her beautiful face looked gloomy and clearly visible if Viola was holding back her tears so as not to pour in that place. The hand of Viola was touched on the table. A touch full of feelings. But not recognized by Viola.

"You must be lying, Ren. You must be lying." Sergey Viola. His head shook a few times.

"I'm not lying, Vio. I've never met a girl as beautiful as you, as good as you, as cool as you. You are the dream of all men on earth. And, only a foolish man has ignored and wasted a woman as perfect as you." Reno clasped Viola's fingers. Her shady eyes were staring so deeply into Viola's face. But Viola did not see that meaningful gaze. He ran his eyes to any place.

Viola smiled smirkingly. His eyes are already glazed.

"But Alex never liked me. He never looked at me one bit." His voice shook withstanding the feeling of tightness in his chest.

"That means he's stupid, right?"

Viola wiped the end of his eyes. Take a deep breath and exhale through his mouth. Trying to let go of the burden of feeling that is squeezing him.

"You see that? Do you still want to waste your time crying over a guy like Alex? C'mon Vio. Open your eyes. He's not just not interested in you. But he was also not interested in other women. This has nothing to do with you. There's nothing wrong with you. The fault is with him. You understand what I mean?"

Reno tried to cheer up the girl. He is not willing if Vio continues to shed tears for Alex. She was eager to see the girl's sweet smile for him. Reno very much hopes that the girl realizes that there is someone who always expects a very big taste reply she feels. A pent-up love. Maybe as big as Vio's love for Alex.
