8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Wait and See

After learning of the chaos in Carang Sewu that afternoon, Ajeng tried to contact Wira, but his phone was still not active. He rushed back home to meet Alda while carrying the newly published newspaper.

“What's up?” asked Alda who had been waiting for a long time while wondering since.

Ajeng gave the newspaper to Alda and Alda immediately bowed limp after reading it. “Who would do this?”

“Rega. He was angry because Mas Wira dared to oppose him.”

“Let me finish it off.” Challenge Alda while getting up from his seat and of course Ajeng directly prevented it.

“Don't be rash! We have to wait for orders from Mas Wira.”

“Waitu?! Till when? That is if they make it back safely. If not?”

He took his hand off Alda. “Max you?”

Alda hurriedly read his words. “Sorry Ma'am Ajeng. I don't have the fuss of talking like that.”

“So that's the reason Mas Wira asked us to go home first?”

“Ngga, Ma'am. Mas Wira definitely won and managed to subdue the Baron. He will definitely return home safely.”

Ajeng turned away from Alda to hide his cries. He is no longer able to hold back. His body was indeed sick but this time his heart was much more sore. He can't keep quiet anymore. Ajeng had already made up his mind to surrender to his father in order to get help for the Hero. He was the only person who could help the Hero at the moment.

“Mbak Ajeng go where?” alda asked when Ajeng came out of the house.

“Back to office.”

“For what?”

“Ask the president.” for help

************

Shortly after Ajeng left, Wira came with Abdi. “Where to Ajeng?”

“City hall, Mas?” alda replied while handing over the newspaper to Wira. “She said she wanted to ask the president for help.”

The hero dropped his newspaper and rushed to his office. He ran as hard as he could, climbing dozens of stairs to arrive in front of his room. When opening the door, Ajeng was standing while holding the phone. The hero immediately approached him, disconnected the phone connection and hugged him very tightly. Ajeng spilled all his tears in the arms of the Hero.

He felt very relieved and grateful that the man had returned safely. Although he did not know what would happen to them next, he felt much calmer now. The hero loosened his hold.

“Have you spoken to your Papa?” ask the worried hero.

Ajeng shook his head slowly. “They are connecting the phone to the palace meeting room because he is in a meeting with the ministers.”

The mind breathed a sigh of relief. “Sgratimklah!”

He hugged Ajeng again. “Other times don't do anything rash without my permission first!”

Ajeng nodded without a fight. This time he did not want to insist anymore. He just wants to overcome all this chaos with Wira.

The hero hugged him back. “Waiting and viewing.”

In an instant, the news about Wira instantly spread and broadcast simultaneously on the national television channel. Rega was ready to party to celebrate his victory. In a moment, Wira will be fired and processed legally so that he will automatically replace Wira to become the Mayor of Carang Sewu who is most loved by residents.

But how shocked Rega when he learned that the news was not about the murder case, but revealed the truth that the man who allegedly killed Wira five years ago was still alive and disabled. The hero and his father were relieved to finally know the truth and they promised to be morally and materially responsible to the victim and his family.

Thanks to the case, the case about the murder of Abdi's father five years ago was also revealed. The disabled man was made a suspect in the murder case and because the man was Lukas, Baron's brother. Therefore, the case about prostitution and human trafficking that Baron was run was also revealed. Not only that, Wira was even touted as the most meritorious person in the conquest of the prostitution syndicate and trafficking of children and women.

“Sial! What the fuck?” as if Rega is upset. “Why can it be like this?”

****************

That day, after Ajeng and Alda left from Jambon bridge, Wira and his men went to Baron headquarters with a joint police team. Based on the information Wira provides, they plan to raid and destroy the crime lair of Baron and his network.

After being beaten because they carried out brutal resistance, Wira and the authorities managed to subdue them. All Baron's men were successfully secured, unfortunately Baron managed to escape and is now included in the list of most wanted fugitives in all corners of the country.

When he was about to return, Wira was informed by Dito that Rega planned to release news about his murder case five years ago. He immediately contacted his father and coordinated the handling of the national media so that the news did not deteriorate and harm them.

Bak ketiban durian collapsed, the news feed released Rega, it actually helped him uncover the fact that the man who was hit by a stone five years ago was not dead. They contacted Wira and informed her of the whereabouts of the man. The hero immediately ordered his men to secure the man before the Baron first found him. Moreover, the man could be used as bait to force the Baron to come and turn himself in.

***************

Ajeng returned to tears after knowing the news that was being discussed by national television about Wira. He felt very relieved because Wira managed to get out of the toughest crisis in his life.

“Udah dong, don't cry anymore!” persuade Hero.

“I'm so grateful you can go home safely, Mas.”

“It was nothing. She cried even louder because I told her that you might not be able to return safely.” Ledek Alda satisfied.

“Who try who wouldn't be surprised by such rich news?” elak Ajeng covered his embarrassment.

The hero's picking up Alda's ear. “Not that I told you to tell Ajeng that we managed to clear everything. Why lie to me?”

“Involuntary. hehe... Want to know what he is if he knows Mas Wira is in danger.” Celoteh Alda lightly.

“Wait! Fucking you guys, are you deliberately playing me? Not only did I know first, but Mas Wira even ngabarin Alda and Alda instead of telling me that Mas Wira was safe, but even my son-nakutin? So mean to you guys?!”

Ajeng circled the chasing table and gave Alda a lesson for tricking him but Wira then caught him and let Ajeng fall into his lap. Although her thighs were still sore, it was nothing compared to her fear that Ajeng would actually go home and leave her to protect her.

Without hesitation and embarrassment again, Wira pulled Ajeng's body and held it very tightly as if she never wanted to let go again for anything.

Although his common sense forbade him to touch Ajeng, but he was no longer able to escape. He leaned his head and ventured to kiss Ajeng's lips for the first time in front of everyone.

Ajeng who was initially surprised by the sudden attack of Wira, then started to follow his heart. He dared to look into the eyes of the Hero and let the man again kiss him warm and friendly. He no longer cared about the walls and ravines they would face. He had gotten answers to all the questions that had been bothering him all this time. The man loves her.
