ARINDAS

Photo togetherness

One Week later

The phone rang, the assistant swiftly picked up.

“Halo, good morning!”

Someone across there spoke very quickly. When you're done hanging up the phone. Arinda frowned and got up.

The door of the room is knocked. When the voice inside had invited her in, Arinda rushed to open the door. Approaching Ricko who was struggling in front of the laptop.

“Rick, no. ..”

“Out of schedule, if anyone wants to meet, just decline. I'm busy.”

“Pak Rahardian is waiting for you in his room. He wants to convey important things to you.”

“Papa here?” Didn't you just come back to London two weeks ago?

“Iya. I just delivered a message from your Papa secretary.”

“Arinda, come here!” The girl complies. “Sit here and please double-check the results of that report. I'm checking the whole report on in and out of goods and rental buildings. It's 90 percent complete. Can you finish the rest, while I meet Papa?”

“Sure.”

“Thank you. I'm going upstairs first.”

🌺🌺🌺

“Pak Rahardian inside?”

“Yes, Mr. Ricko. He's been waiting for you. Please login.” The secretary got up and opened the door.

Ricko nodded without saying. He went in and sat down in front of the father.

“What's up, Pap?”

Rahardian throws a thick brown envelope in front of Ricko. His face looked irritated with a piercing glare staring at the son.

Ricko raised one eyebrow. Swaying confused.

“What's up, Pap?”

“Open it! And, look at your deeds!”

Ricko took the chocolate envelope. Pull the contents inside and look at it with a dumbfounded face.

“I-this ...”

“Get yourself and Arinda! Do not indulge in intimacy in front of the public!”

Ricko. The contents of the envelope are the results of his photos with Arinda. Starting from the moment in the playground, eat crab in Surabaya, salon, and Ancol Beach.

All moments are not missed. The shots can be ascertained from people who are already proficient considering the results are very clear and good. The photographer is like a paparazzi, so shrewd. Until Ricko doesn't know if anyone's stalking him.

“Sorry, Pap.”

“Sorry you won't be of any use if the girl dies. Just a regret you'll feel, Ricko!”

Ricko's getting down deep. His hands clenched over his lap.

Damnit damnit! Who did this. Making my relationship with Arinda even harder! Ricko is furious.

“I won't repeat.”

“Papa hates to say this, it looks like you should go back to London.”

Ricko looked up in shock. “Pap! I promise I won't do it again.”

“Let Papa take care of the company here. You moved to London. SOON!”

“Pap! I've apologized and I promise I won't repeat. Less is more, Pap! Don't separate me from Arinda.”

“You can't control the feeling. That's dangerous, Ricko!”

“For the first time I hate being your son and Narendra's descendant!” ricko exclaimed at Rahardian with a hostile look.

Rahardian grunting. “Your hatred won't change anything. You are still Papa's son and Narendra's descendant!”

Ricko clenched his teeth. He was furious about his condition as heir.

“Papa and Mama were young too, right? Papa must know very well what it feels like to fall in love.”

“The circumstances then and now are clearly different. They're after you from all kinds of directions. You look perfect, Ricko. It's hard for the enemy to find an opening to destroy you. But now Arinda is here. That woman is your weakness!”

“I'll take care of it.”

“Then, when you let your guard down and then he died. Are you sure you won't get frustrated? You can't keep it for 24 hours, can you?”

“Pap ...”

“Ricko! You guys just broke up has turned you into an increasingly untouchable figure. Make your Mama anxious. Opa also worried.” Rahardian looked at the son closely.

“Then I will marry her. So, I can keep it for 24 hours, right?”

“It's not that easy, Ricko! The situation is dangerous. We do not know who these enemies really are.”

“Then, what should I do, Pap?!”

“Listen! Our enemies are after the heart of your heart. You know what the reason is? To ruin your mentality. Then, no one continued Narendra. Finished already!”

Ricko laughing. “Funny. They were after me, but Papa himself sent me back to the Fatherland. I didn't refuse to go back before. This is also Papa's fault so Arinda has to get involved in it.”

“Yes, it's Papa's fault. At first this was all your Mama and your two sisters' plan to get you together. They can't bear to see you continue to moody.” Since it's your Papa's fault too, then Papa will justify it again, son.

“What does it mean?”

Rahardian told about all the plans of the Narendra women clearly. Without one being missed.

Ricko listened to everything carefully. His family was so loving that he had to willingly step in for his happiness.

Ricko looked down inside. He was ashamed to see his own miserable condition. So frustrated was he that it bothered everyone?

And, his meeting with Arinda turned out to have entered a scenario. The girl is the same as him. The target of Narendra's women's plan.

“Ricko. Papa just found out, about our business opponents who target whoever the woman you love. That info Papa can one day before you leave for Jogja.”

“There must be another way. Don't separate us, Pap. I beg! I can't live without Arinda. I love him, Pap.”

Ricko begins to get frustrated thinking about Arinda's safety. Justright. Narendra's business opponent seemed smart enough not to stab him but rather the heart of his heart.

“Papa knows you're smart enough to find your own way out, Ricko. After all, you have rejected Papa's proposal to return to London. So, start thinking about keeping your girl if you still want to keep seeing her alive. Take responsibility for the decisions you have made.”

And, Papa will help you a little to make amends Papa, Mama, and your two brothers. Because, it's put Arinda in danger. Rahardian.

Ricko looked at the flat papa. Lips vibrate. The look on his face implied an overwhelming anxiety.

🌺🌺🌺

Ricko came into his room. Staring at Arinda in front of the laptop with her serious face staring at the screen and hands above the mouse.

Walk slowly towards Arinda. Hugging it from behind and then peeling many times the top of the head of the idol.

“Ricko! What's up?” asked Arinda astonished to see Ricko suddenly come and do the thing.

“You marry me?”

Arinda frowned in wonder. “You sick?”

Ricko turned the chair and rested in front of Arinda. “I'm serious.”

“Why suddenly? Mr Rahardian talk what?”

“No connection with Papa. It's purely my decision.”

“What's up?”

“Arinda, we get married under the hand first after everything is finished ...”

Not yet Ricko finished his speech, but a slap landed on the cheek. Arinda slapped quite hard the handsome man in front of her.

Ricko looked up at Arinda. The girl's eyes were glazed over.

“Am I so bad in your eyes, Rick? I want to marry you, but under my hands? Wh why? WHAT'S MY FAULT WITH YOU?!”

Arinda held the clear grain from coming out. Resisting vibration on lips and tightness in chest. However, it turns out that tears can no longer be contained. All the flavors finally spilled there.

“Arinda, not bag ...”

“Enough! What do you want to hurt me like?”

“Rin, i ..”

“IYA! I AM A CHEAP WOMAN! ENOUGH, RICK! But I also want to get married right. It's not like that. YOU JERK!” Arinda pushes Ricko out of the room.

Arinda went to the top floor of the skyscraper. It's on the rooftop. Look at the clear sky with tears.

“EVIL! YOU'RE EVIL! I HATE YOU!” arinda yelled out her emotions to Ricko.

“Arinda.”

Feeling her name being called, Arinda stopped crying. Removing the remaining tears. Then, he turned around and was stunned to see who the person in front of him was.

“Iya,” sahut Arinda frightened while directly lowering her head.
