Secret Denis
Forty

The night moves on as Denis and Alex exit the base where Jack and his friends are gathering. They discussed for a while about today's incident. Jack felt sure that something was hidden inside the uninhabited mansion. He promised to continue to monitor and monitor the house. So did the two men who were guarding the house. Jack had already assigned several people to keep an eye on their movements. He purposely releases the two to provoke actual disclosure.

Denis offers to drive a car to see Alex's condition is already very messy. He could see the face of the man who was very tired and not powered up. His face was slightly pale and his hair was already irregular.

Alex happily hands Denis the car keys. He rested his body in the passenger seat. After putting on the seatbelt, Alex closed his eyes with a face half looked up. His nose was firmly sticking out under his closed eyelids.

Denis glanced at him occasionally on the sidelines of his focus on driving.

After a long road trip due to several traffic jams, the car finally enters Alex's spacious yard. A guard who gets a night watch opens the gate wide. Then closed it back when the car driven by Denis entered the courtyard of the luxury house.

Denis turned towards Alex who seemed to be sleeping soundly. Her lips seemed a little open. Denis smiled at Alex's innocent face while sleeping. Denis had seen Alex's other position while sleeping. And this is a very funny position in Denis's view. For a moment he enjoyed the beautiful view before him.

"Is that nyampe?" Alex's hoarse voice made Denis very surprised. His smile disappeared instantly. His eyes blinked, eliminating the nervousness of being almost caught staring at Alex's face.

Denis immediately turned off the car engine and opened the seatbelt wrapped around his body. Alex did the same. He stretched his body for a moment before getting out of the car.

"I slept all the way?" Alex tells Denis's steps, which begin to enter the house.

"Lo's tired of it." Denis without looking at Alex. His steps did not stop until he reached the door of his room.

"I don't think I'll wake up tonight. Good night, Denis." Alex said before opening the door to his own room. Denis only replied with a faint smile on his lips. He entered his room and closed the door behind him.

Cleaning his body in the bathroom for a few minutes, Denis came out with a fresher face. Drying her wet short hair while standing in front of the mirror. Looking at his face there as if he felt foreign to himself. Unknowingly he shook his head.

He suddenly remembered his meeting with Mariana this afternoon. His memories flashed to the old man whom he had already considered to be his own parents. Mr. Mijan must be worried about him because he hasn't heard from him. Especially if until Mariana tells about him who suddenly left the rented house without saying goodbye to Mariana.

Denis picked up his phone, then sat down on the edge of the bed. He plays his cell phone in his hand. Considering whether he should contact Mr. Mijan or not. Finally he pressed a number. He looked at the clock on the wall of the room while waiting for the call to be connected. Time has shown at nine o'clock.

He almost disconnected his call for too long as someone's voice was heard saying a greeting on the other end.

"Hallo's? Anwar?" Denis replied after answering a greeting from Anwar.

"Hallo's? Who is this?"

"Denis mas."

"Denise?? Oh my goodness, thank goodness you called. How are you doing?"

On the other end of the phone Anwar exclaimed he could not hide his relief from hearing Denis' voice.

"I'm good. How are you with mom?"

"Alhamdulillah everything is good. Only my father is worried about you. Mariana said you suddenly disappeared. Where do you live now? Don't tell me you're going home. Your mama's man has come here to see you."

"Mama's man? What do they want to find me?"

"They said your grandmother was sick. They asked you to come home soon because that's your grandmother's request."

Denis laughed softly. Funny with the information he just heard. It was impossible for her grandmother to ask her to go home. That's the impossible. Didn't her grandmother ever care about her? The old woman must have been pleased with his departure. And so do other family members. Including her own mother.

"Already mas. Don't make up stories. Please tell Mr. Mijan that I'm fine here. If anyone comes after me, don't tell me anything. Say you don't know."

"But where do you live? Mariana was worried because you were not in the rented place she chose. Forgive Mariana, if she gives you a house that is not worthy of you. You don't feel right living there."

"I don't have a problem with the house. I just met him and he invited me to stay with him. Now I live with them.." Denis is a little bit of a lie. He didn't want it until Alex's whereabouts would be known to his mother. He knows who Alex is now. He was a famous businessman whose name was widely known by fellow entrepreneurs. It's not that hard if her mom finds out a little bit about her and Alex. Surely in a moment his mother will be able to find him.

"Please keep this a secret from the person who found me. Greetings to Mr. Mijan and Ms. Darmini." He said before ending his call. Over there Anwar again reminded Denis to go home to his grandmother who had been hard-earned to send people to look for him.

Now he is used to living alone. Everything is fine without those people. Even without wealth, he felt free. Not being cooped up by the rules that shackle him. There was not the slightest bit of desire to be close to them for now. Let everything go like this.

Denis dropped his body. Closing his eyes and trying to brush off all the things that were currently filling his mind.

*****

It felt like just a few minutes of Denis sleeping when someone called his name while shaking his legs.

"Dennis!!"

Lazily Denis opened his eyes and felt a slight pain in his head as he tried to get up.

Alex sat on the bedside staring at him impatiently. Denis is pinching his temple.

"What's wrong?" Ask with a typical sound of people waking up.

"We have to go now."

"Go? Where's where?"

"Come on. I'll tell you later."

Alex walked out of Denis' room. With a little staggered Denis headed for the bathroom.washed his face to refresh his face a little. Take a jacket and put it on while walking out of his room.

Alex was waiting for him at the end of the stairs. They then left the house and headed for the carport. Alex entered one of the cars parked there. Denis enters the car with a question that has not yet been answered by Alex.

The guard opened the gate swiftly. Salute Alex as the car passes by.

"What's this?" Ask Denis as soon as the car has driven on the highway.

"My men told me they found a hiding place for Bhishma." Alex turns the wheel of his car when it turns a corner.

"Oh yeah? Where's?"

"This is the address they gave me."

Alex handed Denis his phone. Denis frowned as he read the address written in a short message from Alex's men.

"Isn't this the place we came to?"

"You mean?"

"This is the house we want to share with Bang Jack. I asked Bang Jack."

Denis then calls Jack to confirm his guess. Thankfully, Jack picked up the phone quickly. Time has shown at one in the morning.

"This is the address of the house. Meaning very well information from Jack bang's men." Denis said after ending his conversation with Jack on the phone. He also asked Jack to come to see him in the house.

"But you said there was nothing in the house."

"Gue was very sure to check all parts of the house. The house is empty, nothing. Is there a secret room there?"

Denis asked himself. He had no doubts about the information obtained from Jack's men. Especially now coupled with information from Alex's men. So there can be no mistake. What's wrong here is that he wasn't very thorough in inspecting the house. He had not thought at all about the secret room option of the house when checking in yesterday.
