ARUNGGA (2nd chance )
31. Haikal Rotten
Arungga is doing his job in his study. A moment later Arungga seemed to snap a finger after finding what he had been looking for all this time.
"Bingo !. Finally, get to Lo now," said Arungga.
Coinciding with that, the door of the Arungga workspace was knocked from the outside. Arungga rushed to save all the evidence he had, then just let the person in.
Arungga looked at who was behind the door. That man is Haikal.
Haikal does exist in the financial division after passing a three-month trial period in the company. And this is the eighth month Haikal is in Arungga's Division.
Haikal's condition at the time did not look okay. His face looks bruised, while the arm to the palm of his left hand is wrapped in bandages. Arungga who knew it was the result of his actions seemed to not care.
"Good morning sir" haikal hesitated.
"Morning. What's wrong, Mr Haikal?" tanya Arungga flat.
"Said Mr. Aji, you need the latest report. I have made and Mr. Aji told me to hand over to Mr. directly," said Haikal.
"Oh that. Put it on the table, I'll check it" said Arungga.
Haikal nodded and placed the financial statements he carried on the table in front of Arungga. Haikal looked nervous but Arungga was indifferent. He observed Haikal intensely without blinking.
After putting the report file on the table, Haikal turned around and stepped towards the door. But he stopped and turned towards Arungga.
"Gue apologizes Ar. But I really love Alina. I'm ...."
"It's working hours. It's good not to discuss personal problems in the office. Don't forget to close the doors, all right" said Arungga without looking at Haikal.
Haikal took a deep breath and nodded. After that he came out of the room Arungga with a feeling of annoyance. While Arungga only smiled cynically after hearing Haikal's confession.
"Love?. You may not be able to enjoy love because your heart is dead Kal," said Arungga.

Fauzan invites Arungga to meet at a place. Apparently Fauzan wants to talk to Arungga in private.
The place Fauzan chose was in the outskirts of Jakarta. That is where the JC group company is building a child-friendly paid family playground.
Arungga who came late because it was stuck in traffic also looks not good. However, Fauzan is Zahira's future husband who is his boss.
" Sorry late, jammed in the road earlier," said Arungga while shaking Fauzan's hand.
"Father, that's ordinary. We had a serious but casual chat yuk Ar," Fauzan asked with a smile.
"Ok" said Arungga as he followed Fauzan from behind.
Fauzan stopped walking and sat in the gazebo, which had been repainted. Then Fauzan took out a pack of cigarettes which he placed in front of Arungga. Arungga also sat down with his mind filled with questions.
"So what's up Bang?" asked Arungga impatiently.
"We want to discuss Lo's findings Ar," said Fauzan while lighting a cigarette.
"Is there a problem?" ask Arungga curiously.
"We know that Haikal was the one who broke into JC's money. But you know what people I met?" ask Fauzan.
"What's Bang?" ask Arungga.
Fauzan appears to smoke in his cigarette and exhales his smoke into the air in a slow motion as if something makes him uncomfortable.
"It turns out Haikal sent some of the stolen money to two or three other account numbers. And you know whose number he used to hide his crime?" ask Fauzan.
"Whose number is Bang?" ask Arungga worriedly.
"One of the account numbers was registered in the name of Alina Armanditia, Lo's sister," said Fauzan as he stared at the clingy Arungga.
"Bang*at!" maki Arungga after successfully mastering himself.
"I'm eating the same Zahira deliberately delayed the report to the Police because she didn't want Little Brother Lo involved" Fauzan said.
"So how should I Bang ?. You can save Alina. He's just a victim and he certainly doesn't know anything about this" Arungga said anxiously.
"Lo calm down. Everything will be taken care of by my people. I feel like you should know what Haikal is. He's a dangerous man. In addition to manipulating your friendship, he also uses those closest to Lo to his advantage. I don't know if there's any grudge that he's the same as Lo until I do this, but I hope Lo is careful with him Ar," said Fauzan.
" Yes Bang, thank you. The important thing is to clear my good name and Brother I. About Haikal let it be my business later," said Arungga while clenching his hands.
Fauzan nodded while observing Arungga's facial expression. Fauzan admits that Arungga is handsome and charismatic. Arungga is also smart and talented. So it is natural that many women, including Zahira, fall in love and long for love.
Fauzan recalls his relationship with Zahira. They used to be friends but now they are engaged. Even their marriage is being prepared.
Fauzan admitted at first he only sympathized with Zahira who was ostracized by his friends because of his unique appearance. Fauzan kept an eye on Zahira without anyone's knowledge. And Fauzan was shocked to see Zahira's quarrel with Tantri on the vacant lot behind the campus.
From a close distance Fauzan could listen to the contents of the talk of Tantri and Zahira. It turns out that from there Fauzan knew that Tantri and Zahira were also friends when they were in High School.
Tantri is angry that Zahira keeps following her. Tantri is worried that Zahira will dismantle her bad behavior during High School first to her colleagues. And that made Tantri even more angry because Zahira also bothered him when he wanted to get close to Arungga.
"Ga need to dream that Arungga will want to be a tacky girl and a rich village Lo ya Za!" tantri said at the time.
"Let me be tacky, but I ain't no jerk and cheap rich Lo Tan" said Zahira as she stepped away from Tantri.
"Close your mouth or Lo will know the consequences Za!" tantri said loudly.
"Bodo very!" sahut Zahira continued to step.
Fauzan who heard Zahira's reply smiled. He was amazed at the courage Zahira faced the beautiful, famous and intimidating Tantri.
Until one day Fauzan saw Zahira get off a luxury car with a tight escort. Zahira, who panicked because her identity was discovered, asked Fauzan to shut up. Fauzan agreed, but on condition.
"Don't enemyin I'm rich in their enemies, "' said Fauzan.
"Ok deal," said Zahira with a smile.
Since then they have been friends. Fauzan who has graduated from campus is still often visiting Zahira on campus secretly. Fauzan just wanted to make sure Zahira was okay and had friends who accepted her sincerely.
When Fauzan returned from abroad after completing his S2 education, Fauzan was faced with an arranged marriage arranged by his parents. But when he found out Zahira was the woman he had been betrothed to, Fauzan panicked. He worried that Zahira was angry and refused the match because of their friendship. Moreover, Fauzan knew that only the name Arungga was in Zahira's heart. But when Zahira accepted their arranged marriage and promised to learn to forget Arungga, Fauzan believed.
At first, the attitude of the two of them was awkward because they had to change their attitude, calls and ways of talking to each other. But Fauzan and Zahira got through it all well and now they are ready to get married.
Fauzan's daydreams were blown away as Arungga stood up while greeting someone. And when Fauzan turned his head, he saw Zahira there. Fauzan smiled and approached Zahira.
"You here too, dear?" ask Fauzan.
"I told you I wanted to come here. Didn't you read my chat messages ?" zahira asked half sulked.
"Geez, sorry dear. My HP is low-batt," Fauzan said as he showed his phone.
Zahira seemed to snort and throw her gaze in the other direction. Fauzan tried to persuade Zahira and succeeded. A moment later the girl seemed to smile and made Fauzan anxious and pulled Zahira into his arms. Zahira's face was blushing because of the spontaneous action that Fauzan did.
Arungga who witnessed the happiness of Zahira and Fauzan also smiled.
"So how Kak, has Arungga been told about Haikal's rottenness?" zahira asked as she turned her head to look at Fauzan.
"Udah dong," said Fauzan quickly.
Then Fauzan invited Zahira to sit down to continue the conversation with Arungga who had stopped earlier.
