At 6 p.m., Arya was still struggling with a pile of files on her desk. He was meticulous, not just signing every report and proposal that went into his desk.
Arya seemed to focus on studying proposals from PT. Zero Group Tbk, a giant retail company whose network is spread almost all over Indonesia. They want to invite cooperation, become investors in his company.
Ricky enters Arya's room with Tab in his hand. "Bro, representative of PT. Zero wants to meet, when can make an appointment ?" ricky said after he sat facing Arya who was not disturbed by his presence.
Arya raised her head. "This is the second proposal they made. My stance remains firm not to accept outside shares. So why do they want to see each other again...." Arya who was sitting on her great chair leaned her back to the back.
"At the very least, we're professionals to welcome him as Bro's guest of honor." said Ricky, who made Arya nod in agreement.
"My schedule is tomorrow anything ?"
"Tomorrow there is only one meeting. 10 Hours of internal meetings with the marketing and production department."
"Then make an appointment at 2pm, Ky !" arya made a decision.
Ricky nodded, he opened his iPad to send a reply email.
The voice of the adhan Magrib from the information center located on the 2nd floor sounded thoroughly to all floors of the building. Invite all self-service visitors and employees to perform magrib prayers at the musholla located on the 3rd floor.
Arya stopped her work, tidying up the map scattered on the table.
"Ky, this is tomorrow give it again to Meta there to be revised. I've circled the wrong part. We pray first before going home." said Arya while handing over a map containing files that must be revised.
"Ready Boss !"
Arya rushes to take off the shoes to change with the sandals available near the bathroom and takes turns with Ricky. Beside the spacious Aryan bedroom bed, they perform Magrib prayers in congregation with Arya who became his priest.
*****
Arya and Ricky go home together leaving the central Galaxy building. Mr. Asep was driving at moderate speed down the crowded city streets and the black asphalt looked wet from the drizzling rain that had just fallen.
After 15 minutes of travel, Mr. Asep suddenly pulled over the car on the shoulder of the wide road. "Sir Arya, it looks like someone is following us." said Mr. Asep who from earlier noticed from the rearview mirror, feeling suspicious about the silver car behind him.
Arya who has since entered the car just focused with Tab looking at the news updates, raised her head. I realized the car had stopped. Arya looked behind the seat, looking from the rear windshield, making sure there was a car parked 50 meters away with her car.
"Sir Asep is sure the car is following us ?" Arya, who was sitting next to the driver's seat, stared intently at the driver who was looking into the rearview mirror.
"I suspect sir, the car since 4 pm is on the Galaxy. At first I thought it was a car that was shopping in the shops ahead. But two people who got out of the car with the appearance of thugs and all-black clothes so caught my attention. I watched them while eating on the food court floor, sir." the driver explained his suspicions.
Arya keeps her Tab into a briefcase. "Okay, let's just test. Now we walk again, in front of the red light turn left just take a detour...." Arya gives instructions to take a different way home.
"What do they want...." Arya muttered to herself, as her brain thought hard looking for a solution. He then took out the phone from his pants pocket.
"Ky, where's position ?" arya asked when she called Ricky.
"I just got out of the office, just got back. What's up, bro ?" ricky's voice is over.
"You come here quickly ! I need your help, there's a car following you.I'm shareloc ya!" Arya closes her call without waiting for Ricky to answer.
Arya noticed the quiet situation of the road because it crossed the textile factory area that had been dispersed by employees. This area is only crowded until 5 pm with the existence of a market kojengkang or impromptu traders with target buyers factory employees.
"Sir Asep in front is a gas station, we stop there !"
"Every sir" said Mr. Asep began to turn on the left seint because it was close to the gas station. The car turned into the gas station area and parked in front of the Public Toilet. "Sir Arya, the car had stopped on the side of the road." reported the driver who was watching from the rearview mirror.
Arya did not answer. He's sending a shareloc and a message to Ricky.
Just waiting 10 minutes, Ricky's car came and parked to the left of Arya's car according to the message he read.
"Sir Asep, I'll move to Ricky's car. Later Mr. Asep came out first to outwit them. If they're still following, just turn the car to the police. Give me this business card, have the police escort you home." Arya issued her business card, at least the police will be quick to help because they know the name and position listed on the card.
"Don't worry about me, sir. The important thing is that Mr. Arya survived." said the driver looked calm. Arya patted Asep's shoulder before exiting slowly opening the car door. He ducked into the back door of Ricky's white Outlander SUV.
Arya's black Pajero car begins to slowly retreat out of the parking lot. The car turns left out of the gas station. Arya and Ricky notice the silver car parked on the side of the road as well as the car.
"Yourf...." Arya breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped into the front seat beside the wheel. "We went home Ky.." said Arya after putting her seatbelt on.
Ricky started the car. Get out of the gas station with a million-way line to the usual road.
"I'm sure this has something to do with the assault on Medan, Bro..." Ricky started to open the conversation again as the car had already driven away from the gas station. "You can't relax, this is life bet Bro..remember there is a wife in the house who is always waiting for you to come home safely !"
Arya breathed a heavy breath. "You're right, tomorrow I'll have two bodyguards escort me and watch the shophouse. Please keep your mouth shut lest Andina know this incident, she again pregnant young should not be much thought..."
Ricky nodded his head. His eyes remained focused forward, occasionally looking back from his rear view. Ensure the situation is conducive. "Should I choose a bodyguard ?" bargain Ricky.
"No need bro. Something is fitting."
"Who ?" Ricky turned his face a glance.
"Moor!"
