BETWEEN THE CEO AND MAFIA 2

Picked up Ben

Bayu decides to stay in Bara's place temporarily until his wound condition improves. After feeling physically strong enough, he climbed a hill that is not too high to find a telephone network. His mobile card was transferred to the cell phone Bara gave him. His personal phone was damaged, unable to be used when he fell from the ravine.

The only confidant he could ask for help was Ben. Although he is his father's son, Bayu believes that Ben is still able to keep his secret.

"Hello, Boss.... Is this really you?" ben's voice sounded like a very shocked person received a call from him.

"Yes, Ben. It's me, Bayu."

"Where are you? We've searched everywhere but didn't find you."

"Ben.... Please stay away from the people around first. Let no one listen to our conversation. I just want you to listen to it."

"Good, Boss. I've locked my room door."

"I was rescued by an undercover cop and now I'm still living with him."

"Did he know who you were?"

"Not yet, he doesn't know. I hope he won't know. That's why I'm asking you to secretly pick me up here, enough of your own, don't bring anyone even if it's your men."

"I don't want him to suspect us."

"Good, Boss. Where's place?"

"Village xxx located on the left side of the slope where we are confronted. Village close to the river. Ask a farmer named Mr. Sarlan and Ms. Hanima. I live with them and the cop."

"Good."

"Boss, last week I went to see Miss Prita. He scolded me because you disappeared. He seems very sad. Do I need to tell her you're okay?"

"Don't, don't."

"Then, I'll come pick you up today as well."

"Thank you, Ben. I'm waiting for you to come."

Bayu breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got in touch with Ben. Hearing Prita sad because of him, he also felt sad and happy. His wife was really worried about him.

In that area there are only telephone signals, no internet signals. If the internet is already active, maybe his phone will be filled with hundreds of messages and missed calls. Bayu turned off his internet connection. He only used a regular phone network.

*****

The next morning, Ben came to the house that Bayu used to live in temporarily.

Bayu hugged Ben when he got there, as if the two of them were brothers.

"Father, Mother, and Bara, meet my brother, his name is Ben" Bayu told Bara, Mr. Sarlan and Ms. Hanima.

They greet Ben with a smile of hospitality, just as they treated Bayu during this week.

"So you're really going home today?" ask Bara.

He was actually very happy to have friends there. But, in the end, Bayu still had to go home.

"Yes. I haven't been home for too long, my family must be worried. Thanks for the help all this time, Bara."

"Yes. Be careful on the road."

"Mother and father, thank you for being bothered by my arrival."

"We don't feel any hassles at all. If you come to this county town again, don't forget to stop by our house."

"Of course, sir."

Bayu and Ben shake hands with the three as they say goodbye. They had to walk for thirty minutes down the path until they finally reached the edge of the big road. Ben parked his car there. The village they came to was really still very remote.

Ben took his car on a broken paved road. During the journey, their bodies were shaken. The morning scenery they witnessed down the quiet streets was quite beautiful, different as the night they passed by. In fact, Bayu almost lost his life.

Ben takes Bayu to a hotel in the city area. They would rest a day there before boarding the morning plane that would take them back to S City.

"Did Mr Saddam's stuff arrive safely at City J?"

"Yes, Boss. Thanks to you everything is safe. He's very happy."

"Good."

"What is that, Ben?"

"You better keep pretending to disappear and let no one know."

Bayu scrunched his forehead, feeling astonished by the idea said by Ben.

"Why, Ben?"

Ben was actually hesitant to say it to Bayu, but it felt like this time he could not hide it.

"Mr Samuel is planning to marry you to Mr. Saddam's daughter."

Bayu widened his eyes. He didn't believe what Ben just said.

"My dad can't be like that, Ben. He already knows that I'm married and have children."

"You must know that Mr. Saddam was your father's closest business partner."

"Most of the illegal drug and weapon smuggling was at his request."

"Mr Saddam was also the one who made your father's enemies dare not dwell."

"Either, when Mr. Saddam offered his daughter to marry you, Mr. Samuel could not resist."

Bayu feels like he wants to laugh out loud with his father's behavior. He really still thinks of her as a puppet. Until the matter of marriage, does he also have to obey?

"Ben, I really want to live a normal life with my father as a father and son. But why would my father still treat me the same way?" bayu's eyes to glaze over. His chest was filled with a rumble between disappointment and anger.

No matter how evil his father had ever done to him, he still had respect and affection for him. Although he repeatedly said he wanted to kill his own father, what he really wanted to kill was his father's nature. He no longer knew how to stop his father.

"Until this moment Mr. Samuel still thinks you're missing. He kept telling me and my men to look for your whereabouts."

"Only I know that you're back."

"The less you know, the better. Mr. Samuel will gradually be suspicious if you remain undiscovered."

"I'd also like you to be able to live up to your wishes, Boss."

"Mr Samuel will use your wife and son as hostages if you know you're back but won't comply."

"I think Mr. Samuel will still force you to marry Mr. Saddam's daughter."

"Is there no other way to stop the parents' plans, Ben?"

Ben was silent for a moment. "There" she answered. "But I don't think I'll approve of my plan."

"Just say it, Ben."

"Dismantle all the crimes of Mr. Saddam."

"But.... Your father will also be dragged along because they're working together."

"And chances are your name will come along too."

Bayu sighed, "Yes, I know. I've been a part of their crimes all along."

"Are you ready to go to jail?"

"If so, I'll help you get the evidence of their crimes."

"Ben.... Have you gone crazy? You want to fight my father?"

"He can kill you if he finds out you're a traitor."

Ben knew the consequences. Samuel would not think twice about those who would betray him. Even if Ben had been so loyal, Samuel would not forgive him.

"I know where Mr. Samuel keeps his important files."

"Ben.... "

"This is the only way that you can live according to your wishes. I'll help you."
