POV Mahardika
After hearing what Pradipta and his friends really wanted I started to seriously confront them. This is no longer about Nada’s Project. This time it was much bigger and more important. Even them
intending to harm Nara just to get the necklace. I asked the whole army especially Adrian to concentrate on protecting Nara. The poor girl did not even know what secret was behind the lunch date prepared by Pradipta. I feel a little sinful actually. I know, Nada's life is no longer easy after getting acquainted with Pradipta. All the events that happened to him, far beyond the mind of a very innocent Tone. Especially until an assassination attempt that sacrificed the lives of those closest to him, made Nada
he has to lose a lot of things, including his identity.
It turns out that all of that wasn't enough. Now he must face greater danger. And all because of me. That is why I feel fully responsible for the security of Nada who has changed her identity to Nara. I'm asking everyone to make sure Nara is safe from now until she gets home. I asked Adrian not to let Nara get away from him no matter what. To minimize the risk, I replaced Adrian's car with a bulletproof car. Inside there will be two shadow troops that are invisible to others. So actually, Adrian will not face the self-styled robber himself. In addition, I make sure to Adrian, if you can not survive in the car and have to get out, immediately give the necklace without the need for a cocktail. But if possible we should be able to hold one person to be the source of information.
I know from Sisca's talk, how many enemies are on the ground. They deployed 5 cars which means there will be about 30 people who will attack Adrian, maximum. Since the time is too tight, I can't possibly replace their personnel with my people. Even sending an intruder can't
i'm doing. The only way is to follow the path they make and attack at the right time
I'm setting up 50 shadow troops led by Bayu. He is one of my most reliable army chiefs. They will be sent to follow Nara and Adrian. In order to avoid more casualties, I asked Adrian to switch lanes to the outer ring where there were not many vehicles and people passing by. The use of the outer ring route so as not to invite riots and reduce casualties if anything happens.
“Avoid the congested main road. It seems like they will not use excessive means considering they only know that Adrian is guarding Nara. Although Pradipta is already aware of Adrian's power,” I said reminded.
In fact, we doubt Nara's reaction in the face of an enemy attack. Moreover, this attack was carried out in a car. For Nara, the assault on the car has its own trauma. He was tried for murder and survived, even though his best friend was a victim. Of course it is not easy for Nara to face what will happen later.
“Is Adrian ready for a lone attack? “ ask Henry. My best friend this one turned out to be more worried about Adrian's situation. But the person who is worried is relaxed. I know exactly how Adrian's ability to control the car, drifting and playing firearms when the car moves fast. All I know is, in the underworld, Adrian is the best. But I also felt that Adrian was aware of the burden Nara had to take care of.
“That's what we have to take care of. If there are too many attacks and as we know Nara is the main target, will she not panic,” Adrian said.
“Yes must be panicking. How Adrian copes with it. Nara is pretty strong in my opinion. But I don't know if he'll calm down or not when he's attacked back in the car. Remember that he had an experiment
murder,” I said, though not sure but I tried optimistically to calm Adrian. But I still have to make my best friend know what he's up against. In the technical discussion, we handle all the details of the operation. We realized, our time will not be much because the enemy also wants this work quickly completed. Lunch which initially will be a contest Pradipta, indeed they make shorter. This I realized from the Bara report that was asked to speed up the presentation of food for them. It remains how Pradipta carries out his part. Choosing lust to be with Nara or get the job done. It seemed that the man became very upset. Remembering Nara, I thought back to the state of my beloved woman. I realized that Nara had been in the bathroom too long. I asked Adrian to check on Nara.
“OK, it looks like everything is ready. Remember the shadow troops must be properly alert. Our enemy is not abal-abal,” I said. After that I and immediately did the final coordination and preparation. I also saw the movement of the Sisca team to prepare for their action
“Hi y'all. boss ask for an expedited presentation why are you even pacing there? I heard Bara's voice near the ladies' room. Simultaneously the sound of the bathroom door being opened.
“Nona Nara is fine?”
“Yes, I'm fine Adrian,” said Nara. He must be smiling wide at the moment.
“They didn't follow us to the bathroom Miss. It looks like the two of them entered the dressing room and did not appear again,” said Adrian maybe Nara was looking for two people who had followed him. But Sisca and the Manager were not there because of their plans. Adrian understands a person's body language. It was not difficult for him to know what a person was thinking just from reading his face and movements. I saw them start to enter the main room where Nara and Pradipta were going to have lunch. The room was as neat as before. The mess Nara made was no longer visible. I saw Pradipta already there in a more casual dress. He greeted Nara with his cultural smile.
“You are so beautiful in this shirt,” Praise Pradipta, making me want to vomit.
“Means I'm not beautiful if I wear another shirt?” nara said that teased Pradipta by pretending to sulk “Nggak, you are very beautiful even. Always beautiful,” said Pradipta with a smile. Nara's fishing was well responded to by this one playboy.
“Thank you,” Nara said with an adorable shy attitude. Any guy who sees Nara right now, would agree that Nara is adorable. Pradipta invited Nara to sit down. Without waiting for Nara to be ready, Pradipta began to ask why Nara had to look for the bracelet under the table. Though the bracelet was only a cloth bracelet that had no price for Nara. Yeah, if I were Pradipta, I would probably do the same. What Nara did was quite surprising. Moreover, the bracelet was not his and not a valuable item. I know, Nara did it because of the bond between Nara and the woman who made the bracelet. But it's impossible to tell why Nara did it, right?
“Lho is wrong? I think the bracelet is valuable to you,” I heard Nara tried to justify her actions that had made a mess.
“Means?” pradipta asked while tilting his head looking at Nara.
“Yes Mas Pradipta said that the bracelet was from his grandmother. I have a grandmother too. I took care of it. Because he's so special to me. And he was also smart to make such a thread bracelet,” Nara tried to position Pradipta as himself for his apparent reasons. “I'm sorry I surprised and embarrassed you. I should just go home, so as not to make you more embarrassed.” I saw Pradipta's face disappointed with Nara's words. It was seen that Pradipta did not want Nara to leave at that time. Is it because the army is not ready? But I think Pradipta himself has not wanted to let go of Nara.
“Nara. Stay over. I'm not ashamed, just worried. I'm glad you're with me. You're a beautiful man. Buy necklaces at night prices for charity auctions. You are very sensitive to the environment, smart and amazing”. Pradipta said while holding Nara's hand asking her to sit down again. I saw Adrian turn around and immediately stand to see Pradipta pulling Nara's hand violently. His eyes glared at Pradipta's hand until the man realized his actions and softened his grasp.
“We have met at the party, then at the auction, your attitude was on the bodyguard and your management representative, the bracelet event, the third is different. But of all those occurrences, it has the equation”. Continue Pradipta while gently pulling Nara's hand to sit down. While asking about Pradipta's intentions, Nara finally returned to her seat, accompanied by a sigh of relief from Pradipta.
“I feel a special warmth, can we finish this lunch and you can just go,” he said while still holding Nara's hand. A sombre that is quite cheap but seems to be able to make the Women complacent. Narapun just smiled giving a sign he agreed.
