Mikko stood facing the garden. Its back is a field rested on a mango tree that has just flowered. His eyes were black and round, staring at the girl in front of him without blinking.
"Why do you see me like that? Do I owe you anything?"
Rania, who was pruning plants in place of her father, was feeling uneasy about Mikko's attitude. This was their first time hanging out at home, after a cold war broke out a while ago.
"How was that?" ask Mikko.
"You were standing there without blinking, just to ask that?"
"Continue you expect me to say what? Missed you?" A smile was engraved on the young man's face.
Rania also put on a fierce face. Unfortunately, the combination of an athletic body and the black shirt the man wore, blew away all his efforts.
Although only a split second, he was again fascinated by the aura emitted by the Javanese man - Manado.
"Rania, you and Qiandra are my best friends. And I'm worried about your situation right now" Mikko said in a serious tone.
"As expected, he denied all my words and refused to cooperate."
Rania put the crop scissors onto the grass. He then sat on the natural carpet.
"Have you said who the real parents are?" ask Mikko.
Rania shakes.
"Why?"
"I don't have complete proof. If he only relied on my memories, he would not believe me and would just stay away from me."
Mikko mangosteen heard him, "Keep, what are your next plans?"
"That's it, I haven't thought about it yet" Rania said.
"Is it certain that the bracelet you say is the key to this problem?"
Mikko also sat next to Rania, enjoying the warm afternoon air and the flowers spreading a fragrant smell.
"It's not exactly a hundred percent. But there is no harm in trying, if we want to fix all this mess," replied Rania while inhaling the aroma of jasmine in bloom.
...πΊπΊπΊπΊπΊ...
"Miss, tomorrow morning there is a meeting with the board of directors, to determine the representative of the executors of duties in several sectors that are currently still held by the master as well as several divisions."
Sania conveys the schedule of activities to Qiandra.
"So I don't go to school tomorrow? My mountain signature wasn't enough?" Qiandra was feeling very tired.
"Emmm... There's still a lot to take care of, Miss," Sania replied carefully.
"Then what are the jobs of the board of directors, division heads and team leaders? Why is all the work piling up? Were mom and dad like this?"
Qiandra put her body in the bed. Some servants helped her remove the accessories and remove her makeup.
"Sorry, Miss. But some divisions are now being vacant, as proven to be cheating and aberrations." Sania tried to patiently face her employer.
"And just now I also heard a little bad news from the fashion team."
"Team fashion?" Qiandra got up from her bed.
"Yes." Yeah."
Sania also recounts the case of Fania that has just been revealed.
"The board of directors urged, for a while the fashion team was held by one of the higher-ups who sat there. Is it Mr. Alberto, or Dolce M. Sigmon."
"Yes... That's a pretty good decision. I don't matter. They are both experts in their fields" Qiandra said.
"But, I want a separate investigation of Fania," continued Qiandra.
"Miss, our team has investigated it first. This is also related to the events that have happened to Miss lately" Felix said.
"What information did you get?"
"The old company Fania occupied, proved to be cheating to overthrow our 'market. While his contract letter working in our company is considered invalid, because it is not through the approval of the HRD team," explained Felix.
"Hm.. I, huh? Any more specific information?"
"He was also shown to have a special relationship with Darrrent, one of Mr Geffie's right-handers," Sania added.
"Surprisingly again, Fania was famous as one of the strongest rivals of Madam. But somehow, now Fania actually occupies an important position in the company," continued Qiandra's personal assistant.
"We suspect that the case of Miss's disappearance was masterminded by him" Felix said.
"That's it, huh?" Qiandra tried to put all the important information in her head.
He felt very tired and confused. It seems like here only he himself knows nothing about the past of the company and the people around him.
It's like losing a lot of memories, and just making new memories a few months ago.
His childhood alone he could not remember.
"Continue investigating. Report to me at all times. I'm sure they have a pretty extensive network" Qiandra said.
"Good, Miss."
After his assistants and servants left the room, Qiandra again pulled out a letter she found in Chloe's room.
He read it repeatedly. Her heart was so sad to know that her mother loved others. This reminded him of his dream of always feeling lonely, even though he was in a crowd.
Is it not a dream, but a real thing?
He also just realized, he did not recognize any family members of his mother and father. No cousins, no uncles and aunts. He only knew his grandfather, and he never recognized him as a grandson.
"Where is the whole family of mama and papa when they get caught in this case? Am I not the son of this family? Then how am I supposed to be here?"
Various thoughts appeared in the heads of the seventeen-year-old.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
"Who, huh? I don't seem to have called anyone?"
Qiandra jumped out of her bed and opened the door.
"Excuse me, Miss. It's warm water and grapes for a night snack."
"thank you. Just put it inside." Qiandra turned around and let the servant in.
The deg!
Qiandra's footsteps suddenly stopped. So did the entire blood flow in his body.
"Ge-genie?" qiandra.
"Yes, Miss. Its me. I miss Miss... Hihihi...."
The voice of the woman behind Qiandra turned heavy and flat.
Hihihiii....
Bruk!!!!
...πΊπΊπΊπΊπΊ...
"From that smile. Happy again, huh?" rania asked her sister.
Since coming home from school, a smile continued to grow on her tiny face. His bright shining eyes also showed that his body releases a lot of serotonin hormone throughout his body.
"Hm... Brother knows, doesn't he? I'm invited to the summer show next week. I can bring one companion," said Livy.
"Oh, huh?" rania was happy. "The case that befell the company, apparently has no impact on that activity, huh?"
"At first it was a bit disturbed. But eventually it went well again" Livy replied. "But even more so, they invited top-class international models. Whoa..."
"Yes, huh? Who?" Rania was curious.
"Audrey Eikberg."
"Huh, who? Audrey Eikberg?"
