A Couple of Hearts

Between Love and Treasure

Amora slowly opened her eyes. His gaze seemed blurred and only saw the darkness in front of him. He was surprised to realize that he was sitting in a chair with a tied position. The room was very dark and there was only a dim light right above his head.

He could only thrash around without being able to make a sound because his mouth was gagged. His anxiety began to re-emerge. A deep sense of panic and fear now dominated his mind. What's gonna happen to her? Who kidnapped her? What does he want? Is he going to die?

Before long he heard the sound of someone approaching him. Amora frantically searched for the origin of the sound but saw no one in front of her and only the darkness she saw. The longer the sound of the steps is heard. It means that the person's existence is getting closer.

Slowly the silhouette of the person was slightly visible due to being exposed to the light rays. The person he didn't expect to see at all seemed to be smiling at him. A very horrible grin.

“Om Barda?” inward Amora immediately her eyes rounded perfectly because they did not expect.

Bryan's dad could do this to him? Wh why? What harm? Hasn't the Barda he's known all along been a loving father figure? Does Bryan know that his father can be this bad? What will he do to her?

An unexpected attack occurred. Amora's skull was hit so hard that it rendered her unconscious. Even so, Amora slightly caught up with their conversation.

“Have you contacted him?”

“Already, Mr. Barda.”

“Good. Let's see who he'll choose. His company or his lover.”

And the conversation wasn't even Amora listening anymore. He was already in the void. Fainting in a tied position on a chair.

The sound of knocking on the door was heard as Bryan was being emotionally blind. Fragments of stuff scattered in his room. Roughly he pulled the door handle and saw Sendera at the door of his room. The expression on his face was completely illegible. But inevitably Bryan let him in.

“Why didn't you stop him?” bryan asked in a threatening voice while turning his back to Indera. While Indera who realized it looked a little surprised to see her room was very messy. It seemed that this kid really liked his nephew. Of course it's very good for now.

“Are you not his uncle? Why have you also acted so far?” bryan's question had pierced the heart of Indera.

“Tenace. We are on the same side.” said Indera made Bryan turn and look at her sharply.

“How can I believe that you are a murderer? Didn't you kill both of Amora's parents?” bryan asked sarcastically and disgustedly. It was as if the person before him was a shameless and disgusting person.

“You are right. I'm a killer,” said Indera trying to hide the tightness in her chest.

“At least I have a chance to protect their son, my niece, Amora.”.

“So help me. I want to save my nephew. I will do anything to save him,” said Indera steadily.

Bryan who heard his confession was quite surprised. An idea also came to his head. There was one thing he had to do if Indera really wanted to help him save Amora. He had to ask her to meet someone who would also destroy her.

“So is it true that you ever did a scandal with a woman when you had a lover?” ask one of the reporters urgently.

“Can you explain what really happened?”

And there are many more questions from the reporters against Bara. Meanwhile, someone from afar was watching the incident with his sneaky grin. With an instant, the value of Atmanaja Group shares dropped dramatically because of the news of the lie.

“You got a call from an unknown number, Mr.” someone then handed his phone to Bara. He hesitantly took the phone and brought it closer to his ear. A bad premonition instantly ambushed him.

“How is the situation there?” the voice from across the connection was accompanied by a triumphant laughter. Bara who heard it immediately growled and clenched his hands.

“So this is all because of you?” ask Bara calmly.

“Who else?” that voice sounds arrogant.

Barda has always been an obstacle in any progress that Atmanaja Group wants to develop. He sent a variety of disruptions in each of these advances to make Atmanaja Group companies fail to develop. But Bara and a special team in his company always managed to overcome the problem.

“There must be your hired journalist who made the fake news spread in the media. Your way is very disgusting.” said Bara calmly but on target. The door of the room is open. Paul went in and wrapped around Bara in a phone call with the man.

“Please get ready because the press conference will start in a few minutes,” Paul told Bara. Bara directly perform very appropriate actions in times of these conditions. Paul has also prepared a press conference room to provide information as well as refute the rumors.

But the voice from across the line laughed at that. Bara frowned, it seemed like the problem this time would be a little heavier. He also told Paul to go to contact some fellow journalists who were on their side.

“This time you won't be able to save your company, Bara!” still with the remnants of his laughter, Barda bullied Bara. He grew increasingly upset, hoping his guess was not true. Because Bara's only weakness is the person she loves most, Amora.

“The beautiful woman in your apartment seems to be alone. So I brought it to..”

“How dare you hurt him, I'll chase you to death!” cut off the Bara with an emotional rage.

“Quiet young man, right now your beautiful woman is asleep so she won't be able to hear your screams,” she said with her sarcastic laugh.

“Let go of him!”

“Pak, the press conference is about to start,” said Paul when he entered the room. But Bara doesn't seem to be bullying him. There must be something more important until he ignores it even though this press conference is Bara's own plan.

“I will be back soon,” Bara said after closing the phone call and rushing out. Paul is still confused by Bara's attitude. What can make him ignore the interests of the company when the current situation is really very precarious.

Bara went straight to the basement and used his sports car which he deliberately stored in a special trunk in his basement for emergency situations like this. The car is quite reliable speed to pursue anything that could endanger the safety of his loved ones.

One thing he knew, that Barda mentioned their existence in a house on a hill with a wide view of the sea. There is only one place that fits those features. And he immediately hit the gas without caring anything for the moment because there was only Amora in his mind.
