The Revenge of the Injured Woman
Dove's Friend
After Anston, Sanny, and Luis are thrown in prison, Athana focuses on managing the assets that are rightfully his. His determination has been unanimous to leave the dark world and more pursue the business world.
Three years have passed since that day. Reality is in accordance with expectations. His company continues to grow day by day, there are countless parties who want to work with him. Compared to a time ago when it was still in Anston's control, that company was now much better.
Athana was very satisfied with the achievement. Not infrequently he shares his luck with orphans, whether they live in orphanages or who roam the streets. If he used to rob someone of their life, now he wants to help someone in connecting life.
In addition to his own improved condition, Athana also felt relieved because in the distance there Dove managed to realize his wish—build a large hospital and provide medicines that can be distributed to various countries. Dove also provides a free service for underprivileged people. He wants to make amends in the past by helping people in need.
"I have a friend who's been in business for a year. He is interested in your business and wants to work together. If you're willing, tomorrow he'll meet you" Dove said one morning, as they connected on a phone call.
"So far, I have rarely refused cooperation with other parties. Especially if he's your friend, I think I can take it, Dove" Athana replied.
"Good then. I'll tell him later."
Shortly after, the phone ended. Athana and Dove are again busy with their respective jobs. In between his busy life, Athana had thought, which friend Dove meant. Shamelessly, his memory was instead on Larry. The cold and cruel man who might now have been happy with Deschara, in the past there.
"Ah, I could think of him. It's been a long time since he's gone, where he might have come back. He was also with the woman he loved. Maybe now married, pregnant, having children." Athana breathed a long breath. "Life is sweet, I don't know when I can feel it" she said with her eyes closed.
Since adolescence, he has been faced with betrayal, until his life runs in a burning revenge. Starting from Sanny, Anston, Johan, even to Alex, all betrayed him and made him feel tremendous pain.
Although now the grudge has been completed and he has left the dark side, but still, the shadows often appear and disturb his calm. Maybe until later, he will not be able to forget all the things that have happened, and his life is still not as peaceful as those who have never entered the dark world.
"When did it all completely disappear from my mind" Athana muttered with a wry smile.

The next day, Athana left for the office earlier than usual, because today there was an appointment with someone who she said was Dove's friend. Far away he flew from the neighboring country, of course Athana would appreciate it.
"Take him into my room!" athana's orders.
"Good, Miss."
After putting the phone handle, Athana's view could not be separated from the door, which was still tightly closed at the time. Somehow his heartbeat suddenly raced faster, as if what was about to come was a special person.
"Maybe because it is too costly to do work, so my brain is tired and my mind becomes restless" Athana thought in her solitude.
Shortly thereafter, a knocking sound was heard accompanied by a call from one of his employees.
"Lake in!" yelled Athana without taking her eyes off.
A moment after that, the door of the room opened wide. There was a figure of a man with tanned hair and a pair of hazel eyes, standing up while commenting on a wide smile.
Athana was surprised, to the point of ignoring the words of employees who resigned themselves. He was too fixated, between believing and not with what he saw. Real or just an illusion?
Until finally, one melodious voice that was quite familiar made him realize that what was happening right now was real.
"How are you, Athana?"
However, Athana's tongue was still muddled. Not able to answer for a few seconds.
Seriate...
