BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Loneliness

Bayu sits in a hut in the middle of an unharvested marijuana field. The night was very beautiful, the sky was bright with the moonlight and the stars around it were shining brightly. Such a sight had not been seen for a long time when living in an urban area.

For three days he did not come home and could not meet his wife. Supposedly if they enjoyed the scene the two would definitely be a very romantic moment.

Looks like he'll be stuck there longer. The deal to smuggle a ton of marijuana turned into two tons, where the shortage has not been fully harvested.

"You Want a cigarette?"

Ben came to offer a pack of cigarettes and lighters to Bayu.

"Thank you." Bayu receives a cigarette given by Ben and lights it and sips it.

The atmosphere there was very quiet, quite far from the residential area. The signal can still be reached, but Bayu is reluctant to activate his phone. He knew his wife would either scold him or worry about him if he turned on his phone. He did not want to hear his whining because it would weaken his stance to keep completing the task from his father.

"Want a drink?" Ben again offers a bottle of wisky Bayu's pepper.

"No, I don't want to drink."

"You seem lonely and less excited. How about I find a friend for you tonight?"

Bayu looked at Ben as he frowned, "What do you mean, Ben?"

"I can find some women for you."

Bayu chuckles at Ben's words, "I just want my wife, Ben. If I could take her I'd invited her from the beginning."

"Don't go fishing, I've stopped being that kind of guy."

"I'll keep it a secret from Miss Prita."

Bayu deepened his cigarette suction and exhaled his smoke violently.

"How about you, Ben.

Ben immediately goosebumps.

"What's in my brain right now is something like that?"

"If you want to know, now I'd rather go home to see my wife. Damn it at a time like this you offer such a thing!"

"Is there a call from Alex?"

"There's not yet."

"That means there's no serious problem there."

"I'm more afraid that my wife will be close to her ex-husband as long as I'm gone."

"Even though my wife says she loves me, I can't fully believe it yet. It's possible that his heart might waver, but I hope that doesn't happen."

"If he knew what I was really doing here, it might also make him have a reason to leave me."

"If Miss Prita really loves you, she will accept whatever your condition and whatever your job."

"Haha.... Where is a woman as good as Prita would be with a man whose job is to smuggle marijuana?"

"She thought I'd changed and left all this behind."

"You should try to say it first, who knows Miss Prita can understand."

"No, no.... There he'll leave me without a second thought."

"You know why I had to go quietly without her knowledge?"

"He's suspicious, Ben."

"When he sees me with you, he'll think. That's why he's been tailing me everywhere ever since."

"Even he's been following me to shoot and kick boxing."

"Miss Prita wants to do sports like that?" ask Ben curiously.

"It's hard to believe that Miss Prita wants to do kick boxing."

"Why indeed?"

"Miss Prita is too gentle to do such a sport."

"Don't underestimate it, Ben. His spirit was very high to train."

"I remember what you said six years ago when you were about to go to work on Pulau P. Do you still remember?"

"What did I say, Ben?" Bayu himself had forgotten what he said six years ago.

"You said you wanted to teach Miss Prita how to hold a weapon and take it every time you do a mission."

Hearing Ben's words, Bayu recalled at that time, the last meeting before Prita married Ayash. It should have been that day he brought Prita with him what else turned out at that time Prita was pregnant with her child.

"What about Miss Prita? Has the boss met him?"

Bayu smiled, "Of course, Ben. You must be really upset with me today. We're almost late because I suddenly disappeared. How do you know I'm seeing Prita?"

"You asked for our route from City J to stop for a while to City S, of course I know that the Boss wants to see Miss Prita."

"She was beautiful when I met her. Her body was a little more contained than the last time with me. Maybe he ate it better because he was away from me. Haha.... "

"I've always imagined wanting to take him on every assignment from my father. Would it be nice to work with the woman I love."

"I think Miss Prita will die standing up if the Boss does."

"Hahaha, I don't agree with you, Ben. He would rely on me even more if faced with a difficult situation. I was looking forward to the moment when he hugged me for fear of hearing gunshots. Surely I would be more eager to do this kind of work."

Ben patted his head. It seemed like his boss's mind was a little distracted.

"You think our job is some kind of romantic action movie, boss? No romance scenes in the shootout area."

"Hahaha.I'm just kidding, Ben. But I dreamt of it too. Maybe I'll teach Prita to hold a gun and train her in basic martial arts so I can take her away on a mission." (CHAPTER 103: Day of Departure, Between CEO and Mafia Season 1)

Jay smiled remembering that. He took a sip of his cigarette and threw out the smoke.

"Is the extra wood up?"

"It has. Tomorrow night it looks like it'll be ready to take off."

"Then tonight's the last harvest."

"Yes, Boss. As per their request, 2 tons of we'll send."

"Sniffing marijuana inside a log is in my opinion the safest way. No one would be suspicious if no one reported it. Because shipping large logs from outside the island to Pulau J City was common."

"Why doesn't my dad want to use this?"

"He had no time to take care of it himself. While the men he trusted were sometimes unable to perform the task given."

"Because there's a shipment of marijuana that was leaked, huh?"

"Yes, Boss."

"He's happy if you do. Your work is always neat."

*****

Prita looked at the night sky from behind the balcony of her room. The night air was cold, making him fold both hands on his chest. Moments like this, her mind was filled with her husband who could not be contacted for several days. Although Alex says there's no need to worry, she can't lie to herself if she's worried about her husband all day.

Why did Bayu decide to leave without saying goodbye? Is there anything he can't tell you when they're married now?

Prita closed the balcony window so that the night wind would not enter. He threw himself back on the bed and pulled a blanket to cover his body. It feels lonely sleeping alone. The bed, which was usually warm by her husband, now feels cold and bland.

The deep sleep that he had been getting back was gone. He's having trouble sleeping. And the cause was because of the departure of her husband without permission and did not tell him at all.

I wonder what her husband is doing elsewhere? Did he also experience the same thing with her, fretting every night? Didn't he miss her until he didn't have time to call or text?
