Bayu woke up from his sleep. He looked to the side, Prita still asleep. The wall clock shows at one in the morning.
Bayu shuffled slowly from the bed, as much as possible did not cause movements or sounds that could wake his wife.
He dropped the phone from the top of the nightstand, then took it to the workspace that was still connected to his room. He locked the door so that no one would come in, including his wife.
"Go to my office, Ben." Bayu ordered by phone.
This isn't the first time Bayu has asked Ben to meet her in secret. Since Prita always followed him, Bayu chose to meet Ben without Prita's knowledge. He knew his wife was starting to get suspicious about the activities he was doing with Ben.
Bayu also had to. Had it not been for his father helping to find a donor for Daniel, he would never have been in contact with his father again. That one old man always had a way to control it. And he realized, at this time he could not fight it.
Illegal business run by his father is very tempting results in accordance with the risk is also very large. Caught by the police is the least risky, because death is the greatest risk. There were already countless wounds that adorned his body just for the sake of living out his father's ambitions.
Bayu picked up his phone again, calling his best friend, Jimmy Marshall.
"Hello, Bang*sat! Always yes, if the phone doesn't know the time!" Jimmy swore rough.
"Sorry, Jim. It's emergency."
"What energy, your wife wants to give birth?"
"Please tomorrow you come to the Holly Hotel. I've decided I'm going to appoint you as the new GM."
"Woy! I haven't said I agree!"
"I don't ask your opinion, you have to agree anyway."
"Crazy, yeah! I'm also still in charge of my hotel.... "
"Huh! The lower office is retained. When will you get rich?"
"Damn it!"
"Here you go, your brother is a lot, find another job. If your father dies, you won't inherit the hotel."
"God! You're gonna swear my dad's dead quick?"
"Haha.... Isn't that what you expected?"
"Are you satisfied with your job so-so? Maybe your salary's lost to your wife, too."
"That's the way he is, he can build his own business."
"It's been bothering the middle-of-the-night phone guy still mocking people. What do you want, huh? Would you like to help me do this?"
"If I don't make fun of you, it usually doesn't work."
"Anyway, tomorrow comes to the Holly Hotel!"
"Isn't the GM there still Shuwan Mey? I'd be sorry if I had to deal with him. Especially if you have ever dated. Don't make me a distraction from her anger at being left behind by you!"
"I need someone to replace him and I'm sure you're the right person."
"What problems are you having?"
"You'll know tomorrow. Anyway, just come to the Holly Hotel. I guarantee your life welfare will improve."
"Yes yes.... It's up to you. I'll think about it again tomorrow."
"Already, yes! I want to go to bed and don't bother me anymore!"
Click!
Jimmy cut his phone.
Bayu must start looking for the right people to take care of his business. He began to suspect, there are many parties who take advantage of his negligence because it is too busy taking care of many businesses for its own sake. The companies that he struggled to get his condition worsened. I'm sure someone is playing in it. If he gets it, he will make sure the person will fall poor and live in pain.
Brug!
Ben jumped in through the window.
Bayu invites Ben to sit on the sofa.
"Everything is in order as you set it. So, when can the Boss go there? We've been stalling for more than a week."
"I'm confused to find the right reason for my wife to be allowed to leave, Ben."
Bayu pinched his head. If he told Prita that he was going on a business trip for a few days out of town, he might ask to come along. If not allowed to come along, he would definitely think Bayu would go with another woman. If he says frankly will go smuggling drugs, Prita will likely call the police immediately to arrest him.
"Why did you become like this?"
"What!?"
"Usually the Boss never thought of anything. You always do what you want to do, not based on the opinions of others."
"Ben.... She is my wife, not someone else. His opinion is also very important to me."
"You'll find it hard to love your family too much."
Bayu felt unacceptable to Ben's words.
"I'm doing this because I love my family so much, Ben!"
"You think I'm happy to be back doing these things?"
Hearing his boss say in a high tone, Ben lowered his head. He felt he was speaking wrong.
"I'm sorry."
"But you have to decide immediately. Mr. Samuel has warned that this week it must begin to be cleared."
"I know."
"Have my father returned to J City?"
"Already, Boss."
"Good!"
"Ben.... I want to ask you something, answer honestly."
"Please."
"Actually, between me and my father, who do you defend more?"
Ben fell silent. That simple question is already kind of like a college entrance exam question. It is difficult and each has consequences.
"Well, since you're silent, it seems I already know the answer."
"You once left me and preferred to come with my father, which means you are his men. You defended my father. So, I also have to be careful of you."
Ben could not choose between Samuel and Bayu. He cares about both. Unfortunately, the relationship between father and son did not go well.
Mr. Samuel the man who took him off the streets, gave him a better life and a higher education. Raising him from the abyss of poverty to become a more respected person, especially by his men. Meanwhile, Bayu is the son of Mr. Samuel who must be accompanied for so long. Bayu never did him as a bodyguard, but like a brother himself. He knew Bayu cared and loved him very much. Several times he was willing to be punished by his father for not wanting Ben who got the punishment. Things like that Ben will never forget.
Although Ben eventually chose to go with Mr. Samuel, it was also for Bayu's sake. He survives to be a confidant of Mr. Samuel in order to still be able to know what is planned against Bayu. In essence, Ben also becomes a spy for Bayu without him knowing. Ben knew, Mr. Samuel would not be so easy to let go of his son that he hoped would be his successor.
"I can't answer your question right now. But obviously, I respect you, Boss."
Ben only dared to call Bayu 'Boss' behind Samuel. He still thinks Bayu is still his boss even though he is now with Samuel.
"This I submit a map of the location and route to be taken according to your request. I've also flagged areas that are prone to danger."
Brn put a piece of paper on the table. That was the route they had previously discussed. Ben has completed the task Bayu gave.
"The next day we're leaving, Ben!" firmly Bayu.

It seems that many will be angry that Shuwan is not punished. It would be enough to fire Shuwan from GM position. Poor she's pregnant ðŸ¤
