BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Helaan Breath

"According to information, Bayu took a flight out of the area, City P on Island K yesterday morning."

This afternoon Ayash was at a restaurant enjoying lunch while listening to reports from his confidants.

"Prita coming?" tanyakanya.

"Based on the manifest data of the aircraft he was riding, the name of Prita was not listed. Bayu went with his right hand named Ben."

"It could be that they're using someone else's identity card."

"From some airport CCTV footage, they're just the two of them. There did not appear to be any women with them. I'm sure Miss Prita wasn't invited."

"So, do you think Prita was left here?"

"It's most likely like that, sir."

"But you said Prita wasn't in that apartment."

"Yes. Although there is still a guard, Miss Prita is not there. Our people have infiltrated there and are empty. Looks like Bayu hid it somewhere, because maybe he knew you and Miss Prita had met."

Drrt... Drrt... Drrt...

The phone that Ayash put on the table vibrated. The name Egi is there.

"Awhile yeah. I pick up the phone." Ayash asked permission.

The masked man and wearing the hat just nodded.

"Hello, Egi. What's up?"

"You're not coming home with the entourage, sir?"

Ayash sighed for a moment. Indeed, he finally decided to stay in J City even though his work had been completed there. "Yes, I still haven't found Prita, Gi. I'm sorry."

Ayash feels guilty for having imposed a lot of responsibility on Egi. His assistant was kind enough to replace him as he reviewed the location of the project. He even added to the stay in J City without telling her first.

"Yes, Sir. You don't have to apologize. I understand your situation. But, in the near future there is a meeting schedule with Mr. Mathias. No way, I represent you. Do I need to cancel or try to retreat?"

Ayash scratched his forehead. Mathias is a business partner who plays a big role in his project goals in Pulau S Kota J. He's an important man. There is no way he can carelessly change the meeting schedule because he is also a busy person.

"Don't, Egi. I'll try to go home tomorrow to S City. Please prepare everything."

"Good, sir."

"Egi, I'm sorry to bother you so much."

"It's okay, sir. It's my job as an assistant."

"Hahaha. I'll definitely give you more bonuses this month."

"That's what I've been waiting for, sir."

Ayash smiled. Egi is very outspoken when it comes to bonuses.

"Sir.it looks like Mr. Reonal and Mrs Maya will be home soon."

Again Ayash sighed, "You didn't say anything, did you?"

"Not yet, sir."

"You don't say 'yet'. You have to say 'no'. I'm so scared of you, Egi. Don't say anything to them. Including my brother's problem, don't tell them."

"Good, sir."

"Yes, I turned off the phone. Don't forget to prepare all the necessities for the meeting with Mr. Mathias."

Clique

Ayash put his phone back on the table, "Sorry, the conversation is a bit long."

"It's okay, sir. You can be relaxed with me."

"Ah, okay. As you heard, I have to return to S City tomorrow. But I hope you continue the search for Prita. I'm trying to get back here."

"Good, Sir. We'll do as you command."

"What do you want to order?"

"No need, sir. I must leave immediately to continue my duties."

"OKAY. Thank you." Thank you."

That guy's gone. Ayash resumed his lunch. Several times he seemed to breathe. There are a lot of problems that he has to solve.

*****

Raya runs lunglai up the edge of the road along the city park. His steps were heavy and his head kept bowing like a hot zombie in the middle of a hot day.

Sometimes he sighed to release the burden of life on his shoulders.

Raya is a jolly personal. But, there are times when he also feels tired of his life. Just like what happened today.

She just broke up with her boyfriend Joni. They've only been dating for a month. He asked for a break up, but he also suffered.

This is not the first time she has a boyfriend. This was not the first time he had been heartbroken. If counted by finger, maybe he had been dating seven times and it all ended with a word break.

Usually, he's the one that the guy decides fit again unfortunately. This time, he asked to break up.

"If you eat not most. Later get fat. That girl is ugly if fat."

"Pooh...love drinking boba. Your cheeks will get bigger, you know."

"I think you'd be better off wearing a dress. It looks more feminine."

"Hmmm. Like a teenager."

"It looks like you should come with me to be healthier."

"It turns out you're a kind of kindergarten teacher, huh? What a childish job. Are you interested in working in an office? Being a teacher is not it."

The words smelled of body shamming and belittling it almost every day he heard during his dating with Joni. In fact, they just dated. But, every time I met, there were only things that were complained about from him. Raya meraya herself is always wrong in Joni's eyes. From the start of his body shape which is somewhat contained although not arguably fat. Her dress taste is considered ugly. Her hobbies are watching Korean Drama, even her job as a Kindergarten teacher is humbled. Long ago Raya could not stand it and finally asked to break up.

"Well! Oh my God. Give me a future husband. I'm tired of breaking up. if you can that businessman. It's hard to get a businessman's girlfriend." he muttered, chanting a prayer while walking.

"Give me a businessman's husband, God, give me one. In this city there are many entrepreneurs. Match me with him, my God... Just match me with a businessman. I promise I'll get married as long as the prospective businessman."

Fortunately, not many people passed that afternoon. They might think of the Kingdom as crazy. Pray like that while the road is down the road.

Bruk!

Raya hit something until it fell to the ground. "Ah, Goddamn. You useless eye." - Grunts.

"Sorry, are you okay?"

Someone reached out his hand intending to help Raya. Raya welcomed the helping hand and saw the figure before her, which instantly fascinated her at first glance.

A well-built man wears a formal suit and is very neat. His age ranges from 30 years old and looks well established. Ah, but age is not very important to him. The important thing is that entrepreneurs are established and can meet the needs of the family. This was like the answer to the prayer he had been chanting. A businessman appeared before his eyes.

"Hello, what's wrong with you?" the man waved in front of the Kingdom who had since seen him without blinking.

"Ah, yes. Thank you." said Raya shyly.

"You... Raya, huh?" guess the guy.

"Well, how do you know?" Raya.

"We've met a few times."

I still can't remember who that guy was. It seems he is not familiar. "Who, huh?"

"I'm Egi, Assistant Mr. Ayash."

It immediately widened my eyes, "Ah! Mr Egi, yes!? Oh, my God, I'm pangling!"

It is true that they have met several times. Because where Ayash is, there's usually Egi. But, for some reason that ordinary-looking man today turned into a dazzling figure in the eyes of Kingdom. Egi's appearance is more fashionable than usual. He looks like a young executive.

"Where is Egi's going?" tanya Raya's.

"I want to go back to the office. The break is almost over. I'm sorry, I was walking while calling people until they hit you and fell."

Raya smiled. Apparently, both of them are both moaning until they can collide.

"Yes, it's okay."

"Then I go first, yes. We had lunch together as my apology."

"Ah, yes."

Egi threw a smile before walking back in a hurry to leave the Kingdom.

"Is Mr. Egi my soul mate, huh?" The eyes sparkled imagining it.
