BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Mario

At nine o'clock in the morning, the children at Kindergarten Tunas Bangsa were enjoying their break. Some play swings, slides, seesaws, and chases. Some children choose to swarm in Miss Raya who is teaching how to make animal shapes from toy candles.

"Miss Raya, teach Iron Man." chirps Leo who can't wait for his teacher to finish Dani's turtle shape.

"Don't, Miss... Make flowers." said Fara did not want to lose.

"Please, ugly flowers! Good Iron Man." reply Leo.

"No! Nice flowers!"

"Already... already. If you fight, Miss Raya won't teach you anymore."

"Well, don't, Miss.." persuaded Fara.

"Then you have to get along. Teacher's gonna help you make flowers or Iron Man."

"Yeah.." cheers the kids.

"Miss, if making toy cars can?" Tara's sulking.

"Can, baby...."

Raya helps one by one her students make the shape they want patiently. The children seemed to be paying close attention to what the teacher was doing.

"Hi, Raya. "greet someone.

Raya turned towards the voice, "Oh, hi, Mario. Miss Retno is out."

"Ah, I'm not looking for my mother. I want to see Prita."

"Oh... Prita's in the backyard."

"OKAY. Thanks, Raya."

Mario went straight to the place mentioned Raya. While Raya continues her activities with the children.

In the backyard, Prita was picking up a ball that had previously been used for children's games. Mario approached.

"Busy, Ta?"

Prita Gets, "Eh, Mario. Yes, ordinary. What was? Want to see your mom?" guess Prita.

Mario is indeed the son of Retno, the owner of the TK foundation. Mario often goes there to meet his mother. So, the people in TK are already quite familiar. Moreover, Prita, who has known since they were small because their mother was friendly.

"No, Ta. I'm here to see you."

Prita's a little confused, "Oh, so. Yes, sit down first. I put this in the barn first" he said, carrying a basket filled with balls towards the warehouse.

Mario sits on the back yard bench. His eyes continued to follow Prita's movements. Before long, Prita came and sat down next to Mario.

"What's up, Yo?"

"Back from school we go, yuk!"

Prita was stunned by Mario's invitation, "Mm. I have to work in a restaurant."

"If so, tonight. After you work I'll pick you up."

"No way, Yo."

"Why?"

Prita is confused to give a reason to reject it subtly. However, Mario is the son of his mother's best friend who has helped him a lot. During this time they sometimes spend three times with Raya. But now there is Ayash. There was no way he could have time to walk with his friend. Especially a boyfriend.

"Why, Ta?"

"Yes, I don't want to play. You go just as you go."

"I want you to come."

"I can't."

"Lately you've been resisting a lot lately, if I take the road."

Prita was silent for a moment, "I want to be honest. I've got a girlfriend, Yo."

"Don't my mother ever say yes, if you want to be a ghost?"

"I thought Miss Retno was just joking. You also refused."

"But now I like you."

"Huh!? I thought you liked it the same. You always make us walk three."

"That's right.... "

Mario is gone. It seems like he is very upset with Prita.

"Why, Ta?" tanya Raya who just emerged from behind the wall. "Mario's face looks like a sprain."

"Ah, yes Ray. Mario's mad because I told him I already had a girlfriend. He said he likes me."

"Well, right. Mario likes you. That's why he often takes us on the road."

"Lha, I guess she likes you. He likes to ask questions about you."

"Alibians.... "

"What do I need to do? I don't feel good about Miss Retno either."

"Yes, you're just like Mario. Let Mas Ayash be with me." joked Raya.

"Ih... Can't!" exclaim Prita while pinching Raya's arm.

"Yes, yeah, I was just kidding. Uh, it's time for the kids to go to class."

"Oh, yes. Let's take care of the kids!"

*****

While in his office, Ayash seems to be busy reading through the report files while occasionally he affixes his signature. Beside him was a man named Egi who was Ayash's assistant and secretary.

"What's today's schedule?" ask Ayash while turning his chair facing his secretary who from the dance stands beside him.

"Later noon there will be a meeting with the section heads, sir. After that, you must attend the banquet held by Mr. Mathias at Hotel Casanova."

"alright. Are there any files that need to be checked?"

"No, Sir."

"In that case, is there any information about the person who would harm me several times?"

"Sorry, Sir. Haven't. But the police investigation is still ongoing."

Dad's sticking out his nose. "You don't just rely on the police. Hire a detective or a spy to investigate those people."

"Good, Sir."

"During here, they've tried to attack me three times. Time no evidence at all? Wasn't there any footage on the CCTV parking lot yesterday?"

"It just so happened that CCTV was dead, sir. And they ran away when the security team came. So, there's no evidence of anything."

"Sound, yeah. It just so happens that CCTV can die at the time of the incident." Ayash muttered. "Please also investigate the possibility of insiders."

"Good, sir."

"Do you suspect someone? Who is it, who's roughly a grudge with me?" guman Ayash's.

"It could be one of your business rivals, sir."

"Yes, my guess is there too. But who.this is still a small company."

"Or maybe your own brother, sir? You don't suspect him?"

Ayash squinted one eye. He was surprised by his secretarial assumptions. "Huh!? My sister? The arga? Where possible? He already runs 3 companies owned by my father. I've only been trying to manage the company once. It's a small company, so dad gave it to me. Supposedly if there is a grudge, I am more vengeful to my brother because of the company he holds more than me."

"I'm just arguing, sir. Not to demonize Mr. Arga. I'm sorry."

Ayash looked straight at. His relationship with Arga can not be called good, but also can not be called not good. Arga used to live with her until she graduated from college. Although Arga was very indifferent to his mother, but his brother was still willing to play with him. He knew his brother could not accept his mother's presence. But as a brother, he was never evil to his sister.
