Ting!
Elevator door opens. Bayu and Bara immediately ran down the corridor of the top floor of Bagaskara Corp. Twenty-storey grand building, proof of the glory of the Bagaskara family was already very quiet. Throughout the hallway, they did not cross paths with a single employee.
Bayu memorized clearly the location of his father's work space, on the top floor, the room opposite the elevator at the corner. Because he had used the elevator for employees, so far enough to be able to achieve it.
"Alex!"
Bayu ran faster and realized that Alex was sitting on the floor with his legs covered in blood.
"Boss.... "
Alex, Bayu's big baby is sobbing at the arrival of his boss. His feet hurt so much that he wanted to scream. Bayu hugs her, trying to calm Alex down.
"Who did this, Alex?"
"Master.... Samuel."
Bayu already thought this was his father's doing. "Then, where's my wife?"
"He took her to the room of Mr. Samuel. There's Mr. Ben too."
"Woodoo, he's been shot. We better get help, he has to be dealt with immediately" Bara said.
Bayu let go of her embrace. This time the weak boy was seen crying. Alex who is cheerful and likes to trouble her is now in pain. Who could have seen a child cry? Ah, even though Alex has grown up, in Bayu's eyes he is still a child.
"Bara, please take Alex to the hospital."
"Wait, wait.... You want to go there alone?"
"You wanna come? What about Alex? Who's gonna help him?"
"Please, Bara. Help me. You save Alex and I'll save my wife."
"Wood, don't use your gun. When you take a gun out of your pocket, you'll be my enemy as a cop."
Bayu smile. He patted Bara's shoulder. "Yes, I understand. Please help."
Bayu immediately runs away leaving Alex with Bara.
"Alex, my name is Bara, a friend of Bayu's. I'll take you downstairs."
Alex nodded. He tried to stand up with the help of Bara who broke him. They walked slowly to the elevator because Alex's legs were still limping.
While in Mr. Samuel's study, Ben was still involved in a physical fight with a bodyguard who was also actually his men. The bullets in their pistols are out to shoot each other. Two of the guards had earlier been shot by Ben and were dead. Remaining the two of them who are now throwing punches at each other.
Ben's physique that is not too prime can still be held to face the bodyguard that is sturdy. Several times his back was hit by a kick and he was still trying to defend. In fact, the wound he had previously gotten from Samuel seemed to get worse due to the fight.
"Stop, Ben.... "
Samuel showed off Prita who was beside him. Ben stopped his fight. The bodyguard returned to Samuel's side. Meanwhile, Bayu can only stand in his place.
"Give me the documents you hold if you don't want me to hurt the wife of your beloved boss." Samuel grinned triumphantly. Ben was now helpless with his threat.
"Let go first Miss Prita I want to hand this over."
Ben took out the documents he had taken from inside his shirt. He showed it to Samuel.
"Haha.... My kids are really crazy. You were also involved in the plan, but you want to expose this to the police? That's so ridiculous. We can all go to jail together.
"I've discussed it with Young Master and he's not worried about what's going to happen later."
"Haha.... That kid really....!" Samuel was angry.
"Give me the document!"
Dor's!
"Aargh.... !!!"
"Benn.... !"
Prita and Bayu shouted at the same time as Samuel ruthlessly pulled the trigger and fired his bullet through Ben's chest.
Prita cried hysterically seeing the inhumane cruel action right before her eyes. Her cries broke to see Ben fall to the floor and drenched in blood. Samuel held his hand tightly, not letting him run over to Ben.
The newly arrived Bayu immediately ran over to Ben. He lifted Ben's head and put it on his lap. It feels almost crazy to see Ben's current condition. His cruel father heartlessly wants to take Ben's life.
"Ben.... You promised me we'd live a normal life together. Ben's.... Hang in! You have to live a long life and get married so you can have a child like me." Bayu said his words with a quivering tone as well as tears flowing down his cheeks.
The white shirt that Ben was wearing had already turned a reddish color by the blood that kept pouring out.
The atmosphere was momentarily silent, only the sound of Prita and Bayu crying with Ben's critical condition at this time.
Ben, badly injured, tries to smile at the person at his side. His eyes began to glaze over, Ben followed through tears.
"Boss, thank you for treating me like family. I... feel happy to be by your side until the end."
After saying those words, Ben breathed his last breath on Bayu's lap.
"Benn.... !"
The sound of Bayu's cry seemed to rattle the entire room. He shook Ben's body which no longer moved. Sometimes he hugged her, then shouted her name with a sobbing cry.
Bayu did not sincerely Ben died so soon. He hopes Ben can enjoy the rest of his life normally, wading through ordinary life, without coming into contact with unlawful things again. He, Ben, and all his men will open up a new page of life for the better. Ben can't die.
Only Bayu and Prita mourn Ben's departure. Samuel and his hard-hearted men are completely untouchable or guilty of what they've done to Ben.
"What are you crying for? He's the one who will destroy the glory of Bagaskara Corp that I've been fighting for a long time."
Samuel had no humanity at all. At such a time, he could still blame others.
Bayu lowered Ben's head slowly from his lap. He laid Ben who had died on the floor. Then, he took off his suit and used it to cover Ben's head.
The sadness of losing Ben is still huge. He stood up slowly as he pulled the gun out of his pocket. He pointed the gun at his father's head. Meanwhile, Samuel also pointed the gun he was holding towards Prita.
"Do you want your wife to be the second person I killed?"
"Why did you kill Ben!?" his yell. Bayu is very emotional. He cries again in memory of his father's crime against Ben. Ben shouldn't be dead.
"Ben wants to hand over this document to the police. That means he wants to put me and you in jail."
"I just want to protect myself, and of course you, my only son and my successor."
"I.... Never wanted to be your successor."
"You can live happily with your daughter and wife without worrying about anything if you become my successor. I guarantee this matter will soon disappear. I'm very good at fixing things."
"I don't want to! I don't want to be the one by your side anymore!"
"That means I have to kill your wife so you don't have to hesitate to make the decision to obey your father."
Samuel brought the tip of the gun closer to pressing Prita's temple area. Bayu also tightened his gun grip. Meanwhile, Prita no longer knows what to do. His body seemed to have frozen witnessing the most sadistic thing in his life. It is so easy for people to take the lives of others without burden and guilt. He realized that the world was really cruel

Sorry, Ben's role just got here. The author is again difficult to find the mood for nulis. May his message of sorrow be delivered. 🥲
