Chapter 15 Secret Marriage


The smile of victory was engraved on his handsome face, the cuisine that had originally tasted common on his tongue now felt very delicious. He was completely satisfied with Dila's cold attitude towards Satya. The handsome man who was none other than Zian.


Zian had just met someone, because this was why he couldn't have lunch with Dila. "Satya is not someone I should worry about, it seems Dila already has no feelings for Satya," muttered Zian alone while enjoying a dessert.


"Zian?" greet someone suddenly in front of Zian. Zian's originally cheerful face became cynical.


"Felicia, what's wrong?" Zian kept his files scattered on the table.


Felicia sat in Zian's front seat, "alone? Whoa, coincidence."


"I want to go." Zian stood up to come out.


Felicia quickly pulled Zian's hand, she looked at Zian with a sparkling face, as if she had missed Zian for years. "Meet me for a while" said Felisia.


"Zi???" Dila suddenly appeared in front of Zian and Felicia.


Dila looked at Zian questioningly.


"Eh there you, Dila, we happen to eat lunch" Felisia said as she tidied the plates of the people who were with Zian. It was as if he had eaten with Zian.


"You don't get me wrong, we just eat normally" Felisia continued, taking lipstick and glass in her bag and applying lipstick to her lips. He didn't care about Dila's annoyed look.


"What do you mean, Fel? Even we just met," said Zian, he walked up to Dila who was still standing.


"This is lunch you said?" Dila smiled, a cynical smile. 


"Darling, it's not what you think it is." Zian tried to grab Dila's hand but Dila brushed off.


Dila smiled and looked up and looked at Zian, "i believe you, dear," said Dila, smiling despite her seeming compulsion.


"Dila," murmured Zian.


"I go to the office first, then don't forget to pick me up," said Dila, he kissed Zian's right cheek. Dila left without giving Zian a chance to explain everything.


Zian and Felicia stared at Dila's departure, Zian's hardened jaws holding back the anger towards Felicia. He was also upset that he could not explain to Dila. In contrast to Felicia, he smiled because he managed to make Dila upset.


"He's jealous of me? Hmmm, he should be glazed, I do not deserve to be competitive," said Felisia.


Zian took his file on the desk with his car keys and cell phone, "of course you don't deserve to be competitive, he's much better than you!" Zian stared at Felicia's face for a while and passed away.


Felicia snickered but Zian did not care.

Dila got into Zian's car when she came home from work, Dila's face looks ordinary but she doesn't talk while in the car. Zian deliberately plays Korean songs, Dila's favorite song. Usually Dila will hum slowly imitate, but this time Dila just stared at the street through the car glass next to him. 


"Honey, where are you eating?" zian asked softly, he wanted to break the silence.


"Whatever." Dila did not turn her head in the slightest, she still looked engrossed in staring out of the car through the glass beside her.


Zian let out a long sigh, he knew if he was facing a difficult time if Dila had already said 'whatever'. For Zian this situation was more difficult than facing a business opponent. He realized that if he mispronounced or took wrong action, it would be more complicated.


"There's something burning like that" muttered Zian staring at the street in front of him. "But I'm also happy, there was a niece who had been neglected." Zian's smile. "Ah, although I am his Om, but I am more handsome than my nephew."


Dila. "Ish, what a PD," muttered Dila without looking at Zian.


"Instantially, the woman my niece wants prefers me, even that woman is always jealous if I'm close to another woman." 


Dila still did not want to look at Zian, but when Zian glanced at a glance, Dila was holding back a laugh.


Zian grabbed Dila's hand, while still driving forward his car. "Darling, don't think I had anything to do with Felicia, I just accidentally met her, actually when you saw us earlier, we just met."


"I did eat with someone, but he's not Felicia, there's business with someone" Zian continued.


"I also don't mean you to believe, I can't force what you think." Zian kissed Dila's hand. 


Dila was still throwing her gaze out the windshield, trying to understand every word for Zian. He actually already knew if Felicia had just entered the restaurant, because when Felicia entered it happened to be Dila was looking at it. Dila just wanted to see Zian explain how important he was to Zian.

Dila's eyes scoured the entire workspace of Tio's sister-in-law. The pale-white room was filled with several awards charters and family photos. Looked at a photo of Tyo with Rima and Adis and Satya when he was a child. It seems like their families are happy.


"Well, there's a wind what Lady Zian Abiyaksa stopped by our office" Tio said as Dila just walked in.


Dila smiled, "sorry brother, uh sir, I'm interrupting your time."


"Have it, don't use formal language, use your language everyday, however you are my sister-in-law." Tio's face seemed friendly, although his relationship with Zian was not good, but Tio was always friendly in front of Dila. This made Dila wonder why Zian hated Tio so much.


"Thank you."


"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" The man, almost half a century old, picked up the phone to order drinks for his employees.


"Just as big brother."


"Hmm, all right, do you want a coffee latte?" 


"Well, it turns out our tastes are the same, I really like coffee latte." Dila opened the file.


"I have free time until the afternoon, you can ask anything you need." Tio looked at the watch in his hand after ordering Dila a drink.


"The job from the office brought me here, of course Zian didn't know this." Dila looked a little hesitant to say.


"You work at Mr. Aldo's law firm, huh?" tanya Tio dsn replied with a nod.


"Well, you're a great lawyer!" praise Tio while stretching his hands into the air.


Dila only responded with a faint smile, Dila handed a paper to Tio. He read it carefully. "Hmm, so the old problem is being raised again."


"I assured Mr. Aldo before, if raising this matter is just a waste of time, I believe Kak Tio has no business with any mafia." 


Tio took off his glasses and put them on the table. Tio rubbed his tired eyes. "Drink before it gets cold."


Dila sipped her coffee slowly as it was still hot. 


"Just let everyone think according to their hearts." Tio looked at Dila's face. "Go ahead and check what you need."


Dila sighed in relief hearing Tio's words. At least Tio did not give her any trouble.


"You can call me or my assistant if you need any info." Tio gave Dila two business cards.


"I'm sorry." 


Tio smiled, "already, this is indeed your job, I will help as much as I can." Tio sipped his coffee together with Dila.


*****


It happened a long time ago, twenty-seven years ago. At that time a young businessman was making a company. But because he did not come from a rich family, he pioneered his business from scratch. He started a business with Hendra. He works with Fauzan Abiyaksa, who is the father of Zian and Rima. Successful entrepreneurs who are more senior than the young entrepreneur, Agus Bramantyo.


Tio was known as an unyielding and tough man. He has a co-worker as well as his best friend, Hendra. But when the name of Tio skyrocketed after marrying Fauzan's son, Rima. The figure of Hendra bak swallowed the earth, even though Hendra was the founder of the Tio company. From then on Tio assumed control of the company's relationship with Hendra, and it was good fortune for Tio as he got the inheritance from Fauzan.


Fauzan died while Zian was still in high school.  Fauzan divided the rights to Rima and Zian, at that time Zian was still a child, so the company was given temporarily to Rima and then taken care of by Tio.


But it turns out that Zian is down from his father's talent, since high school, Zian has started studying business. So that when he was in college he already understood many things about his father's company.


After graduating from college, Zian immediately jumped into the company managed by Tio. Since it was taken over by Tio, the company could not grow, even almost bankrupt. But Zian can not directly own his father's company, this is because his father gave Zian the condition that he could have greater rights than Rima if Zian married. 


And when Zian married Dila, the company that had been at the end of the horn was held by Zian, of course Tio was not too concerned because his company was much better than Zian's. Armed with the knowledge he had gained since adolescence, Zian quickly developed his company. 


In addition to his father's legacy company, Zian also has a stake in his name that his father planted since Tio asked Fauzan to join Tio's company first. And unbeknownst to Rima and Tyo, Zian since college has started playing stock in various companies. During this time he always asked for a lot of money on his brother and made as if foya-foya, but it turns out the money was used by Zian to plant shares. 


Tio was surprised to see a drastic change in the company led by Zian, he actually regretted letting Zian have the company intact. Tio thought Zian had no business skills and no other shares in other companies. Tio also did not think that it turned out that Zian easily accepted the conditions to have a wife.


But Tio could not do much, he wanted to retaliate in another way but considering Rima and her children loved Zian so much that Tio ignored Zian.


Besides, even though the Tio and Zian companies are now aligned, Tio still has other businesses. Tio is a member of the great mafia in the country. He smuggles illegal drugs on the international black market.Of course his business is closed as much as possible even though rumors have started circulating. Rumors are just rumors, many parties try to prove but in vain.


Therefore, Tio was not worried when Dila tried to disturb his life. Tio was used to dealing with people who were curious about his life.


And if indeed Dila had exceeded his limit, Tio would easily eliminate him later.

Day after day Dila went through, he was preoccupied with the Tio case. He finds out about Tio's various funds to find out the truth about the drug business rumors. Dila is also looking for traces of Hendra, during this time Tio is suspected of killing Hendra. Many parties tried to prove it for years but the results were only in the form of wishful thinking. Likewise with his drug trade, everything is arranged so neatly that there is no concrete evidence that can ensnare Tio.


Dila wants to stop his investigation, he feels it would be a waste of time and effort to find evidence of Tio's crimes. After all, Zian would not distinguish the permission either. Dila is tired of hiding her job which is handling the Tio case. 


Yang Zian knew, Dila had been working for Aldo's law firm, but only for mild cases. Not about criminals, especially about Tio.


"Sir, who really wants this case about Tio's drug trafficking to come to light?" ask Dila in Aldo's room. "I feel like all this is going to be in vain, haven't many more professional people been holding the case and without any results."


"Have it, just do it, about who sued, leave it to me!"


"Does this have anything to do with Hendra?" Dila looked doubtful.


Aldo stopped reading the file in his hand, he looked at Dila. "Even if this is the end goal, our clients want this overlooked thing noticed and followed up."


"Client? Who is this client of ours?" 


"This client doesn't want his name published, but he carries a lot of evidence of Tio's crimes, especially his drug business." 


"But the evidence is not yet accurate enough, in addition, we also have to find out about the disappearance of colleagues and founders of the Tio company which is still a mystery" Aldo continued.


"Is it possible that rumors were circulating if indeed Hendra was killed by Tio?" Dila shook as she said. Tio is his brother-in-law.


"Therefore, settle your suspicions, prove that they were not done by Tio." Aldo emphasized the word done.


"If necessary, you should also find out through Tio's husband and family, I'm sure you can, right?" Aldo looked at Dila.


"So this is why Mr Aldo handed me this case?" ask Dila.


Aldo smiled, "it seems that only you are capable of solving this problem, after all, aren't you tired of handling light cases as well? Now it's time for you to handle a weighty case."


Dila let out a long sigh and then came out of Aldo's study with some new files about Hendra.


"Huf." Sitting in his chair, he reads the file that Aldo gave him. "Continuing this investigation is not out of curiosity about Kak Tio's business, but what does my mother have to do with Kak Tio?" muttered Dila when reading her mother's name and a photo of her mother when she was young with Tio. Although the photo was taken years ago, Dila can still guess, it is a photo of her mother.
