Back To Yes
Chapter 10



"WHAT? TRISTAN MECAT BROTHER MAURA?"


Tristan just nodded in response to Kauki while the girl looked shocked.


Kauki had been to Tristan's office in addition to visiting the older brother but also wanted to see the state of Maura.


But Kauki was astonished because the one sitting in front of Tristan's room was not Maura but someone else. When asking her brother, Kauki was shocked when Tristan confessed that the man had fired Maura.


"But why?"


"Because he has made you wretched."


"What?!" Kauki shook his head, not thinking the same Tristan. "Sister, it's not him that's causing Kauki any harm, it's the kidnappers who are killing Kauki. Then Kak Maura was kidnapped is not Kak Maura's will, it was an accident!"


"Sister does not want you to hold on to Maura. Brother doesn't want you in danger of continuing to be friends with him."


"But kasian Kak Maura, he must have trouble working in Jakarta."


"The company in Jakarta is not just one, I'm sure there are still many companies that want to accept him."


Kauki grunting. "Now Kauki knows who Kauki's selfish nature is coming from."


"You mean? Kauki, big brother is like this because you don't want to woe for the umpteenth time. Brother is worried about you. You can't be with her anymore."


"Yes, if that Kauki will go on a hunger strike unless Kak Tristan brings Kak Maura to work here again."


"Kauki, don't make you angry."


"No want? Yes, you will go on a hunger strike so that stomach diseases continue to be treated!" kauki's toilet took his sling bag and then gawked away from the sister's study.


"Kauki... Yuki..!"


Kauki ignored Tristan's call, when in front of Tristan's room he met the same woman who changed Maura, Rose.


The woman smiled kindly at Kauki.


"Miss.."


Kauki nodded slowly but his eyes scanned the face of the Rose, leaving the curly haired woman confused.


"Can I help you, Miss?"


"Oh no. You. I just feel like I've been squirming you, but.. Ah, that's it." Kauki passed from before the Rose.


The rose looked at Kauki's back which was getting away in confusion. "Snack."


🍁🍁🍁


"Kauki, elo why is diem mulu?" Alpha asks as Kauki gets into his car after exiting Tristan's office.


"It's okay."


"Oh yeah, Maura how's she doing, Ki? I met him, right?"


"Eng.. As a matter of fact, Maura was fired three days ago."


"Huh? Fired?" Kauki. "Why? Maura's performance is declining?"


Kauki. "Not."


"Continue?"


"Kak Tristan mocked Maura because he thought, brother Maura caused my accident yesterday."


Alpha is flabbergasted, he's lazy to discuss yesterday's disaster. Because it reminds Alpha of the guilt, the guilt of not being able to keep Kauki.


"So, you have it too."


"No, Alpha, it's not Maura's brother who made me critical yesterday, he's the main victim here."


Alpha nodded.


"But, Al.." Kauki hung up his words.


"What?"


"When I squirm his successor, Mr. Maura, I'm not a stranger to his face."


"You mean, where have you seen it?"


Kauki tried to remember the woman's face. And after that, Kauki flicked his finger.


"Aah!"


"What, what?"


"That's the girl who was at Maura's abduction site!" cetus Kauki's.


"But why?"


Kauki returned to thinking, trying to find a reasonable explanation about yesterday's case.


"Maybe, Al, this has something to do with their cooperation?" Kauki.


"You mean. the woman hired the kidnapper to nyengkirin Maura, because she was the same Maura? Like the ones in the soap operas." Alpha is thinking.


"It could be that, in retrospect, the position of Maura's brother in the office is important - as the assistant boss, and the woman nyingkirin kak Maura, so that she can change the position of Maura's sister. What do you think of Lo?"


"Yes, yes you are, Ki. Then we have to take this case to the police."


"But we have no proof." Kauki.


"Yes too, anyway."


Kauki took a breath and leaned his back against the chest of the chair.  His eyes squirmed at Tristan's office which stood towering.


Kauki straightened her seat as she squirmed something that was stuck above the entrance.


"office TV!" cetus Kauki's.


"What, Ki?"


"That, Alpha. We can see through the CCTV footage."


"Oh yes. Yeah, we're going to the CCTV room now."


"Yeah!"


They went into the office, more precisely in the CCTV room, there were two more security guards.


"Miss Kauki.." The two security instantly woke up when writhing the younger brother of the boss.


"Sir, I want to see the CCTV footage dong."


"Make what, Non?"


"Two weeks ago, there was an employee who was kidnapped in front of the office," Kauki explained making the two guards shocked, because they did not know if there was a kidnapping.


"Good, Non."


Security's looking for the footage you asked for, and luckily it's done. There they could see Maura being smothered by two large-bodied men, not long after, a car approached them and the two kidnappers entered Maura into the car and left.


Kauki, Alpha and the two security guards are watching closely, unfortunately the kidnappers make masks. But luckily the cctv managed to nagkep the license plate number of the car.


"B 1045 glp." Kauki read the kidnapper's license plate. "Alpha, now we have to go to the police. We're looking for a car with this license plate to get us into jail" Kauki said.


Alpha nodded in agreement, Kauki asked for the footage to be shown to the police later.


🍁🍁🍁


This has been a week Kauki mengediemin Tristan, at home even Kauki only glanced when squirming his brother. Kauki proved his threat, the girl rarely ate, it made Tristan worried.


Kauki cuek aja ngajak Alpha play to his house, even though he knows Tristan is still angry with Alpha.


"I'm better off with Alpha, and if Kak Tristan continues to enemy Alpha, I don't want to squirm Tristan again. I want to stay at Mia's house!" Kauki again threatened to make Tristan just sigh, give in.


If Kauki moves into Alpha's house, Tristan can't afford to be so nervous. Although Alpha's house is next door.


"Huuf.." Kauki dropped himself on the sofa, put his school bag on the floor.


"Well a week, how come there's no word from the police, huh?" mummified Kauki.


Kauki and Alpha reported the case yesterday. Armed with office cctv footage, the police searched for the whereabouts of the kidnappers.


The girl of Spanish Japanese descent closed her eyes, tired of schoolwork.


Seet..


Kauki bergidig when he felt something like a feather swiping his leg. Make Kauki enforce her seat and look down.


His eyes widened as a cat on the floor walked around his feet.



"Oh my God.. How cuteee.." exclaimed Kauki then raised the cute cat to his carrier.


The cat was a British shorthair, grey-haired, comfortable looking in a Kauki sling, his gray eyes closed as Kauki stroked his soft fur.


"Miaau..."


"Very funny..Who is this cat, hmm? Whose cat?" gemes Kauki, then woke up. "Eh, yes. Whose cat is that in my house?" his face was confused.


"Your cat" said Tristan who appeared from the door. "That's a cat for you."


"Kak Tristan.." muttered Kauki. His eyebrows then shriveled realizing something. "It's not a bribe, is it?"


Tristan sat on the couch. "You could say so."


Hearing that Kauki kept the cat on the floor, the girl turned her back to Tristan, folding her hands together.


Tristan took a breath. "Dec-"


"I'm not affected by Kak Tristan's bribe" Kauki said.


"Related?" Tristan brought the newly adopted cat to his arm. "The cat is funny."


"I will not stop lashing out with Kak Tristan except for Sis nerima kak Maura again for work in the office."


"Kauki, you've made it clear to you already"


"Sister's explanation makes no sense. Maura's sister is fine, she thinks I'm like her own adek."


"You know he's like that there's no way you're being let go."


"Udah I said it was all a disaster. No one can stop" said Kauki.


"I'm not just worried about you"


"Worried about me or because Brother wants to hate Big Brother Maura?"


Check matt!


Kauki's words made Tristan stifle. Part of his heart justifies Kauki's words, but part of it is evasive.


"No! Brother is worried about you," Tristan said. "Lupain. Brother is the same as Brother."


"Son can't stop being selfish, even for me?"


Diem, that's all Tristan can do.


Kauki looked at Tristan with a plea in his eyes.


"Son, come on, escape brother's grudge. The blowing. Sis Maura has admitted her mistake, she has done anything to apologize from Brother. Tristan's sister is that?"


Kauki's clear eyes pleading with her made Tristan remember Maura's sad face. The eyes of the girl he once loved as he looked at her, were full of regret.


Exhaling, Tristan looked at his sister. Kauki's talk is real. Tristan must be able to get his revenge on Maura, reconcile with his old wounds in order to receive an apology from Maura.


In addition, Tristan knows he can never win when Kauki is out in his mainstay, stepchild gaze.


"Fine! Tomorrow too, Brother will call him and ask him to come back to the office," broke up Tristan developed a big smile on Kauki's lips, bringing up one dimple that made him look sweet.


"Yahuuu.. Thank you my handsome Brother. You know, you're great when you treat your selfish," Kauki hugged Tristan.


Tristan smiled and ruffled his sister's hair. "Yes. Yeah, so who's the funny one?"


"Ep.. Fergus!"


🍁🍁🍁


In the afternoon before Maghrib, Alpha jumped onto the balcony of Kauki's room, where he saw the girl in long brown straggles as she focused on learning.


"Kauki"


"Hm?"


"Ki, I just got a call from the police, they said they found out the Maura abductee."


Kauki turned to face his best friend. "What really?"


"Really."


"Thank God," Kauki's relief. "You see, tomorrow we also go to Tristan's office to catch the main culprit."


Alpha nods, his attention turned to Ferguso-the new cat Kauki who was on the bed playing a ball of yarn.


"Whose cat, Ki?"


"My cat." Kauki grinned with Ferguso.


"When did you have a cat?"


"Since then, Brother Tristan gave this as a bribe so that I would not lash with him."


Alpha chuckles. "Sampe. I don't think your brother can doiemin elo."


"Yes the same as you, I get a fever immediately" Kauki said.


"Gue has a fever because I'm tired," Alpha refutes his embarrassment.


Kauki just smiled slanted, and then got back busy on the book.


🍁🍁🍁


The next day, Maura stood in front of Tristan's office. He got a phone call from Tristan, the man asked Maura to come to the office, not knowing what was needed.


The curious Maura followed.


"Ep.. Mr Tristannya there?"


The rose was shocked when it squirmed Maura. "Mh.. There are. You..why come here again? You've been fired by Mr. Tristan."


"I don't know either, Mr. Tristan called me here."


Roses of mangosteen with a look of wonder, a bit of caution too, lest Maura be told to work again with Tristan.


"Sir Tristan is busy?"


"No."


"I can see Mr. Tristan, right?"


Roses initially want to say no, but Kauki keburung dateng nyapa Maura.


"Sir Maura!"


"Kauki." Maura smiled, then the two hugged like they had not met for centuries.


"Oh my goodness, kangen so much with you, Ki."


"Ehe.. I'm not upset," Kauki joked. "Son Maura want to see Tristan? Come in, my brother is waiting for me."


"Ep.. But you're the same, Ki."


"Why?"


"Aquut.."


Kauki chuckled writhing Maura's agitated face. The girl nodded and embraced Maura entering Tristan's room.


"Sister, his brother Maura has come."


"Oh, please sit down," said Tristan of Maura.


The black haired girl sat right opposite Tristan. Tristan glanced at Kauki who was just standing behind Maura.


"Aren't you out?"


"Excuse me, huh?" Kauki.


"Not riled up, but Brother wants to talk to Maura four eyes."


Somehow Maura was a bit flushed, when she heard the phrase 'four eyes' that Tristan said. The girl was also happy because after a long time Tristan finally wanted to say her name. No longer 'him'.


Kauki muter eye. "Yes it is. Brother Maura, I'm out first huh. If Kak Tristan is fierce, throw the computer or files that exist to the head of Kak Tristan."


Maura chuckled slightly hearing Kauki's joke. While Tristan looked at his sister sharply.


"Kauki.."


"Yes yes! Hehe.. Bye Brother Maura."


"Yes.."


Kauki came out of her brother's room, now there's only Tristan and Maura. A moment of silence ruled until Tristan finally opened his voice.


"Em. good."


Tristan scratched his nose, somehow feeling awkward. Maybe because now he can already take Maura back after yesterday just being cold to his ex-girlfriend.


"You must be confused as to why I asked you here. Right?"


Maura nodded.


"So, after thinking long enough, I finally realized that my decision to fire you was the wrong action. For that, I ask you, very much ask you to return to work here. How's it?"


Maura gawks, still not expecting Tristan to ask him back to the company.


"How, Maura?" repeat Tristan because Maura did not answer.


"Eh, um. sa-I would, sir," Maura's acceptance immediately made Tristan smile with relief. "Then.. What's my position, sir?"


Tristan smiled, his first smile at Maura after a long time.


"You're still my assistant."


"Then the Roses?"


Brakkk


The door opened violently, a Rose appeared with Kauki behind her.


"Pakistani, I don't want my position replaced by Maura. Sir, I have been working for quite a long time, why did Maura who is only an apprentice student go straight to the post? This is not fair!"


Tristan looked at Kauki but his sister sniffed his shoulder instead.


"First I want to remind you of manners, who told you to come in? I'm having an important conversation with Maura!" tristan's Omelette.


"For that I'm sorry, sir, but I don't accept that you made Maura move up the ranks so fast" said Rose.


"This is my office, so I have the right to decide."


"Yes, but why so fast? Don't-don't.. Maura gave you something until you easily raise his position."


Not only Maura, Tristan and Kauki turned their backs to hear the Rose. Indirectly the woman recused Maura who was not.


"Eh, uh, take care of that, brother Maura, it's not like that!" sewot Kauki's.


"Rose, I don't like you saying that, if you don't know anything don't accuse me!" timpal Tristan's.


"But, Sir-"


"That's the culprit, sir." Suddenly Alpha came with three cops behind him.


Tristan and Maura got up from the chair with shocked faces, as did the surprised-looking Rose as well as the panic.


Two policemen caught Rose, panicking the woman.


"What the fuck? What am I wrong?"


"Saudari Mawar, you we arrested on Miss Kauki's report for the kidnapping you committed on Maura's sister" the police officer said, leaving Maura and Tristan wide-eyed.


"So..so you're the one who kidnapped Maura?!" sentak Tristan, Maura just kept her mouth shut, looking shocked.


It turns out that all this time his co-workers were enemies in blankets.


"Pakistani Tristan.. Sir, please understand my explanation, this must be a misunderstanding. I'm not the culprit, sir!" Roses continue to wriggle in police checks.


Several employees who happened to pass by shrouded the door of Tristan's room.


"What else do you want, anyway? The proof is there. Fuck up!" alpha chirps staring at the Rose.


"Already, already. Mr. police, take this woman to jail, and the law is heavy" Tristan said.


"Good, Sir. We'll excuse you" the police officer replied, then passed with a Rose.


"Sir, but I'm not wrong, sir! Take me off, I beg you. Mr Tristan!!"


All Tristan's servants looked at Rose with shocked gazes. Not surprisingly, the Rose who seemed to be a diligent employee in the office turned out to be a criminal.


"Sukurin!"


"I didn't think so."


"He's good though."


"When he's an exemplary employee."


The employees filled the office, they returned to work when their superiors ruled.


Maura was still speechless, she was relieved at once unexpectedly. Maura always does well in the office, but it turns out that even good people can still have enemies.


"Sir Maura is okay?"


Maura gave a smile towards Kauki. "It's okay, Ki, brother was just as shocked as it just happened."


"So calm down, now there is nothing evil with Kak Muara anymore" said Alpha who is Maura's decadent mode.


Seeing this incident made Tristan feel guilty for Maura. He promises from now on he won't look at his ex's cynic anymore.


"Maura, I'm sorry that yesterday my attitude was unpleasant to you. I feel guilty for firing you without thinking."


"It's okay, sir. I understand."


"Well, now that Maura's back at work, how about we eat!" exclaim Kauki got an enthusiastic nod Alpha.


"Agreed!"


"But, Kauki. It's still working hours" Maura said.


"It's an hour away, Brother Maura. Tristan, we're eating now." Kauki turned to plead with her brother.


"Yes, yes" after Tristan was greeted by the exclamation of Kauki and Alpha.


🍁🍁🍁


Alpha went into his room with a face. Today he is super cool because he can eat dinner with Maura, yes even though there is Tristan and Kauki as well.


Drrr..


Hpnya sound of incoming message. Alpha eyes widen when squirming the name of the person who accompanies him chat.


From : Maura


Alpha, thank you for finding the person who kidnapped me. You're the same Kauki is a real hero.


Alpha's smiling to herself. "Gue said hero!" pekiknya.


Chat Maura was soon answered.


'Yes equally. Next time Kak Maura needs help call me. I'm 24 hours on for Brother Maura 😉'


At his house, Maura just smiled crazily emot Alpha.


'Still Alpha 😊' reply chat Maura with emot smile.


Alpha joined in grinning emot Maura. The guy picked up a towel, got ready to take a shower.


🍁🍁🍁


A month since Maura returned to the office, Alpha more often mepetin Maura every time there is an opportunity. But this time he tried himself, he did not want to involve Kauki. Alpha doesn't want Kauki to be fucked again.


And Maura also responds well to every Alpha treatment. His relationship with Tristan has also improved, although Tristan is not cold anymore to Maura, but Tristan seems to only consider Maura a friend, making Maura resigned because he felt there was no hope of getting back together.


After all, Maura was already comfortable with Alpha, because the man was always there for her, willing to hear her every whim, even willing to accompany her shopping.


Maura did not refuse again if Alpha invited her to walk or eat together. And every time an Alpha contacts him, whether by phone or by message, Maura responds quickly.


This certainly makes Alpha assume that Maura has opened his heart to him.


So this Saturday Alpha came to Kauki's house, and conveyed his intention to shoot Maura.


"Ki, according to Lo Kak Maura there is no sense of not the same me?"


"Maybe. You see, brother Maura now if again chat or call me, he always slip your name."


Alpha face sumringah. "Maura used to talk to me?"


Kauki just nods while sniffing at Ferguso's feathers that look spoiled to him.


"Ki, according to you, if I shoot him now, he won't?"


Kauki was on the brakes for a moment, then sniffed his shoulders.


"No idea."


"Do you know what?"


"Yes if you want to know ask the same brother Mauranya, do not be the same me. Weird lo," replied Kauki sewot.


"Ki, according to you, is it not too cool if I shoot Maura now?"


"Try what's wrong, Alpha."


"Gue's afraid Maura's rejecting me." Alpha pessimists make Kauki not bear.


"I think yes, mengeningan kepetesan of late. Who knows if Maura's brother is waiting to shoot."


Alpha digests Kauki's speech, actually, mending the spasm rather than the delay. Entar if Maura eventually wait, can-can nyari others.


"That's it, I have to shoot Maura now!" she smiled at Kauki.


"Well, that's dong, spirit. If you are rejected later, you will never try."


"Gue's gonna shoot Maura, Ki."


"good. Better than better."


"But, Ki.." Alpha hung up his words, facing Kauki with a face of weld. "My representative yes."


Kauki cengo for a moment, a second later pushed his face through Alpha.


"What the ****, Alpha! Elo want to shoot what's missing report card, ask to be represented?" Kauki natap Alpha is weird.


"Ki, I definitely can't say anything in front of Maura. Look, my body is trembling."


Kauki. "No, Alpha. Elo must be brave. Cheating is brave, elo not this time just shoot a girl."


"But this time it's different, Ki."


"No, just no!"


"Kaukiy.."


"No!"


Alpha shows the face of his stepson's wailing, Kauki still maintains his firm face.


"Kauki.. Hicks.." Alpha pretended to be sniveling as if again crying.


"No."


"Please.."


"No!"


But Kauki was now instead standing in front of Maura, with Alpha standing behind him.


"Sister Maura, would you like to be Alpha's girlfriend?"


Maura's gaping, is this Kauki who shot him or Alpha?


"Ng. how is it."


"Sister Maura, Alpha is responsible. Although his age is far from lo, but he could be a kayak that you crave. How's it? Want to date an Alpha?"


Sometimes Kauki elbowed Alpha, but the guy just dibayak statue, Alpha really nervous.


As for Maura, she was actually a bit smug when she found out that Alpha expressed her feelings, even though it was through Kauki. But Maura was still confused.


Alpha clumps behind Kauki, occasionally playing Kauki's unraveling hair so nervously. Alpha grabs Kauki's hair to cover his face as Maura looks at him.


"Mh.. I-yes."


Kauki and Alpha look at each other. "What was that?"


"Yes. I want to," Maura replied with a smile.


Alpha and Kauki looked at each other, again. Then hug and cheer.


"She say yes, Brooo.."


"Gue's welcome, Ki!"


"Haha.. Congratulations, my brother."


Maura chuckled and shook her head wriggling the behavior of the two sohibs. Follow seneng.


Kauki took off her embrace. "Eh, how am I being hugged anyway? Hugged Maura Dong, he's your girlfriend now." Kauki glanced at Maura who looked blushing.


Alpha is wrong to make Kauki gemes himself. Impatiently grabbed the hands of Alpha and Maura, then put together to hold each other.


"There, you must celebrate your anniversary. Yes, yes," said Kauki.


Alpha took Maura away, but she gave a big smile to Kauki as if to thank him.


"Bye, Kauki."


"Bye, guys.. Have fun with your new relationship." exclaimed Kauki replying to Alpha and Maura's hand.


The girl carved a big smile, followed the seneng because in the end Alpha managed to unite with Maura. After going through all the bad things.


"Gue is a great matchmaker!" Kauki gave a thumbs up to him.


Not long after Kauki fell silent, he just wanted him to go to the park to leave with Alpha. But his Alpha is the same Maura now, he's left behind.


Kauki smiled, feeling sick because for the umpteenth time Alpha left him to Maura.


But Kauki shook his head, he can't be selfish. Yes, Alpha is the same as Maura. Let this time Alpha leave me for Maura, for the last time. Her thought.


"Who am I going to go back to, jirr?" Kauki nepuk.


He immediately grabbed his phone to call ojol. But Kauki just opened his ojol app, suddenly Nando appeared with his pastel blue vespa.


"Kauki?"


"Nando's? Hiya.." Kauki gave a sweet smile to the guy who was quite close to her lately.


"What are you doing here?"


"Oh, I had a little business. It's also coming home."


"Who's the guy?"


"Ep.. It was going to be Alpha, but the Alpha's gone to Maura."


Nando looked at Kauki Kasian, gurgling too, this girl doesn't have a taste of sprains? Kauki should be sprained because Alpha is again living for his girl. Think Nando.


Yes, Nando knows quite a lot about Alpha and Maura. Kauki the story.


Nando was sprained and furious too, Kauki how can you be so patient with Alpha? You are too kind, according to Nando.


But Nando feels amazed because Kauki despite being repotinated continues to be the same Alpha (sometimes also eliminated), but Kauki always patiently faces Alpha. Truly a true friend, inner Nando.


And that makes Nando love Kauki even more.


"Yes, you go home just like me. Uh but, I want to take you for a walk first, will you? It's still late afternoon."


Kauki's eyes sparkled, coincidentally he was also confused about what to do. Tristan again to the reunion smpnya, and at home Kauki no friends. Ferguso was again pinned by Mia's mother to the arisan.


"You want to, really!"


Nando chuckled furiously at Kauki's enthusiastic face, looking adorable in his eyes.


Kauki immediately boarded Nando's motorbike as the man told him to. They left the garden with joy.


From a distance, in his car Alpha squirming it all, he has not left because Maura again the phone used to be the same tantenya.


Alpha knuckles squirming Kauki who seemed very seneng invited Nando.


"When did they deket?" he muttered unconsciously that Maura was sitting in the seat beside him.


"Alpha?"


Alpha jerking. "Eh, huh?"


"Why?"


"Eng, no. No, papa," replied Alpha.


"Yes, let's go" Maura asked with a smile, Alpha smiling at his new girlfriend.


But Alpha's eyes occasionally squirm the departure of Kauki and Nando who are getting away.


She has to go to Kauki, is there any connection between Kauki and Nando?
