BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Ayash's Concerns

Ayash walked back and forth in his living room. His hand held the phone and stuck it in his ear. A dozen times he called Prita's number but has not yet been appointed.

The clock shows at 11 p.m. Ayash just got home from his office. In fact, he had not had time to shower and change his clothes because he was too panicked when he saw Prita's room was empty.

He felt sorry for letting Prita go to his own shop. Today there is indeed a lot of work that must be completed so that it cannot come along. He was afraid that yesterday's events would happen again.

"Lho, are you home?"

The sound from the door made him shocked. Prita has gone home. Directly he ran and hugged Prita's body tightly.

"Sadly... slowly hug her." pinta Prita who felt tight.

Ayash immediately let go of his embrace, "You're okay?" tanyanya.

"Yes, I'm fine." Prita looked at the appearance of Ayash who was still wearing his shirt and work coat. "You just got home, too, huh?"

"Yes, I just got home. I saw your room was empty so I panicked."

"Yes, let's sit down first. Let me make you some warm tea."

Dad put his body on the couch. His feeling was relieved. The draw of the tie that had been wrapped around his neck and placed on the table. He then took off his suit and loosened the buttons of his shirt on his wrist. While Prita was still busy in the kitchen making tea.

"Drink first." Prita brought two cups of tea. One of them was given to Ayash.

"Thank you." Ayash sipped the warm tea that Prita gave him.

"I have warm water ready, too, for you to take a shower."

Ayash held Prita's hand that was about to go to her room, "That's it later. Now sit down."

Prita complies with Ayash's request and sits next to him.

"Why just got home this late? What's going on?" ask Ayash.

Prita seemed hesitant to tell the truth. He was afraid that Ayash would worry. But, if he did not say, then surely Ayash would know from others.

"Mmm. earlier, I'm from the cafe."

"Yes, I know."

"On the way home, suddenly there was a car approaching. They told me to come down and follow them."

Ayash rounded his eyes, "Who are they?"

"Where do I know! But, fortunately, there were passersby who helped me. He beat up all those criminals and drove me home."

"Who's the one who helped you?" ask Ayash curiously.

"He's just a guy who happened to pass by. I didn't get to know." Prita tried to lie. There was no way he would have said everything he experienced that night. Although Bayu had saved her, but for her every encounter with the man was a disaster for her.

Ayash hugged Prita again, "I was very anxious. I shouldn't have let you go alone."

"Yes, I'm sorry. Next time I'll be more careful and ask for Mr. Rudi's company if you're busy."

"We have to thank the people who helped you. I don't know what's gonna happen if they kidnap you."

Prita was silent when Ayash said he should thank the person who helped him. Thanking Bayu? He was sure if Ayash knew that Bayu had met him several times, even three times he had stained his lips, Ayash instead of saying thank you but would just beat him up. Prita hopes to no longer deal with Bayu. Because dealing with him will only bring bad luck.

"Darling.I prepared the bath first, yeah."

"Thank you, baby."

Prita rushes to Ayash's room to prepare his bath water.

*****

That morning, in his mansion, Bayu was beating a lot of people with his baton. Those people are his men who are from the Red Kalong gang. Their chief did not escape the tantrums of Bayu.

Yeah, they're acting again. In fact, they had already decided to join the Tiger King. In fact, they still move on their own. Last night, the people who almost kidnapped Prita were part of Red Kalong.

Bugs!

"Again, Boss. Actually yesterday was a special request from my good friend, so, I can't bear to refuse it. I didn't get paid for just trying to help her." The man named Miko grimaced holding onto his aching arm.

Bayu squatted in line with Miko, "What do you want to do to the girl?" telisiknya.

"We're just gonna take him to meet someone."

"Who is that guy?"

"Mario Chandra."

Bayu squinted his eyebrows, "Mario Chandra.... Retno Mulyani's son?"

"Yes, Boss."

"Owner of the TK Tunas Bangsa foundation, where the woman teaches?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why did he want to kidnap her?"

"Ah, that's complicated to explain, Boss."

"Explain as simple as possible. I want to know." Bayu stared with an intimidating look.

"Mario. But he was rejected. He didn't accept it, so, he planned to kidnap and hold the woman with him. In fact.... "

Bayu clenched his hands in anger. "Even what?"

"Even two weeks ago he nearly raped the woman, but failed."

"Name*t!" aspersion.

The people who were there were confused because suddenly the leader cursed. They do not know if Bayu likes the girl and do not accept her girl being bullied by people, let alone his own men.

"If you want me to forgive you, bring Mario to me!" command Bayu.

"But, why, Boss? We didn't kidnap that girl."

Bayu smiled cynically, "Who's the boss here? Me or him?"

"Good, Boss. We'll bring Mario here."

"Remember, never do anything before there is an order from me! And, my orders are the absolute things you must follow. If not, I will slaughter you!" threatening Bayu.

"Yes, Boss. We will not dare. We go first." Miko got up from her seat and took her men out of the room.

"Arn.... "

"Yes, Boss?"

"What is the agenda this week?"

"Tonight we will escort the shipment of firearms to City R, Boss. Two more days, your father will come see the development of our business here. And... Our client, Mr. Arga, asked us to execute the deal as soon as possible."

"Hmm.. alright!"

"Is our drug business also smooth?"

"So far it's safe, boss. No complaints from below. The police also can't seem to sniff out the whereabouts of our men."

"Good job, Ben! Ah, yes. For the escort tonight, I leave it to you. I'm still tired and need a break."

"Do I need to call a girlfriend, boss?"

"Hmm. no need. I'm not in the mood for. You can go back to work. I want to continue sleeping."

"Good, Boss."

Beni saw her boss walking up the stairs to the room. He felt surprised, usually his boss will ask for a woman when tired. But this time he refused.
