BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

The Journey Home

The car carrying Ayash and Prita began to enter the airport area. Occasionally, the sound of planes passing through the air. The airport parking area has begun to be full of vehicles lined up neatly. This half the airport has been seen crowded and busy by the traffic people.

In front of the departure terminal, the car stopped. Some well-dressed people seemed to be walking closer towards their cars.

Prita panic. The reflex he held tightly to Ayash's hand and hid his face there.

Ayash frowned, astonished at Prita's sudden clinging to him.

"Why?" tanyakanya.

"They're here. I'm scared." Prita said so softly that it was like a whisper.

Ayash looked at the glass. His men had come with five of his men.

"Don't be afraid, they're the ones who'll keep us on the plane."

Ayash took out a mask from his pocket, "Wear this." he asked.

Prita. He wears a black mask to cover his face. Ayash grabbed her hand and took her out of the car. Prita re-attached her body to Ayash when faced with strangers whose appearance reminded him of the bodyguards who had been guarding around Bayu.

"We've all prepared, sir. Let's take you to the VIP room."

Ayash hugs Prita, tries to provide security and as if hints that everything will be fine and he has nothing to fear.

They enter a special entrance of the airport that is different from the general public. The access is very private, making them no need to cross paths with many people. It didn't take long, they had arrived at the VIP room. In that room they can rest while waiting for the boarding time of the plane.

Ayash tells Prita to sit back on the sofa. Meanwhile, he walked a bit away to talk to his confidant.

"Did the Tiger King start moving? Are they here already?" Ayash spoke softly.

"Not yet, sir. Looks like Bayu doesn't know yet and he still hasn't come home from City P."

"What about the other passenger list? Have you checked?"

"Already, Sir. All of them were just ordinary passengers unrelated to the Tiger King. You should also wear a mask so that it is not recognized. Just in case, if there's a flight crew or a guy who's a Tiger King guy."

"Okay, okay. Thanks for everything."

*****

"Ben... how long is the plane delayed?"

"I'll ask the captain."

Bayu's upset. It's been an hour waiting but the plane hasn't had any signs of boarding. His hands were busy playing with his cell phone.

"This is why there's nothing on CCTV to access, Ben?"

Ben hasn't left yet, his boss has complained about something else. Bayu could not access the CCTV installed in the hotel where Prita was staying. He wants to know the condition of the woman.

"Try you call your men and ask for a check!"

"Good, Boss."

Ben immediately contacted the bodyguards he placed in the hotel. Surprisingly, no one picked up the phone.

"Nobody's answering the phone, boss."

Hearing Ben's words, Bayu immediately got a bad feeling. There must be something going on there. Along with that, there was an announcement of the boarding of the plane that he would be boarding.

"Boss, we better get on the plane now."

Reluctantly, Bayu got up from his seat and walked up to the airport staff who guided them. His mind is not okay. Even in the cabin of the plane, he still daydreamed about the situation Prita there.

During the trip, he could not fall asleep. The flight, which took 90 minutes, was very long. Only a collection of clouds and blue sky could he see from behind the glass of the plane.

"Boss.... " Ben next to him tried to talk.

"Hm.... "

"Do you want to eat or drink something?"

The mood was silent again. Ben could only look at his young boss who looked upset because of a woman. This is the first time that Bayu has treated women so well. Usually, he only calls women when he needs to channel his desires. Nothing has been preserved for so long other than a woman named Prita Asmara.

He himself still can not believe, Bayu who has been followed for 15 years can fall in love with a woman.

The aircraft continued to rush through one by one cloud clumps. Seconds passed until the plane landed smoothly in City J.

"Ben, we're heading straight for the Zero Tower Hotel." Bayu ordered.

Both of them went with quick steps. Bayu can't wait to meet Prita. He wants to know what happened soon.

Bruk!

"Aah!" a woman falls right over Bayu after bumping into him.

The eyes of the two meet. Bayu is eager to swear rudely if he is not a woman.

"Eum, forgive me." the woman slowly got back up to her feet.

Ben helped his boss stand up.

"ah! Your arms are bleeding!" exclaimed the woman when she saw the blood on the white shirt that Bayu was wearing.

Bayu looked at his own arm. Right, there's blood seeping from the gunshot wound. The wound was reopened due to the collision.

"Come, I'll take you to the clinic!"

The woman grabbed Bayu's hand with a feeling of panic. However, his hand was brushed off by Bayu.

"We're leaving now."

Bayu immediately went to ignore the woman who had hit him. Ben followed.

"Sir, it looks like your wound needs to be treated."

"I'm fine, Ben. It doesn't hurt." Bayu continued walking with quick steps ignoring his actual wound that was starting to hurt.

At the exit of the arrival terminal, there was already a car picking them up. Ben was forced to contact his other men because the people he placed in the hotel still had nothing to contact.

Thirty minutes away, they finally reached the Zero Tower Hotel. They took the elevator to the 70th floor.

Brak!

Bayu opened the hotel room door. The atmosphere of the middle room looked messy. Lonely, there's no one. In a panic he ran towards the main room, where they had previously slept.

"Print.... "

Blank. There's no one there. Prita doesn't exist. He turned to the bathroom. It's empty there too. He clenched his hand. How incompetent his men look after Prita.

"Boss.... " Ben came to signal Bayu to follow him.

Bayu sighed. He followed Ben who was walking towards the other room. When the door was opened, there were 12 guards held there in a condition bound and the mouth was sacrificed. Bayu threw a pissed face.

Ben untied the rope to his men. He was sorry to see their very apprehensive condition. Twelve people crammed into one room with their mouths bandaged and bodies bound.

"Who did this?" tanyakanya.

"We don't know, sir."

Ben sighed, "When have you guys been like this?"

"Since last night, sir. They're coming around 11 p.m."

"Sir.it seems like that person is not a random person either. He showed me a VIP access card and pretended to be in the wrong room."

"Ben, request hotel CCTV footage around the time of the incident. Bring the results to the apartment. You take care of all this."

"Good, Boss."

Bayu immediately left his hotel room. He did not want his anger to explode and cause chaos there. He needs to calm down.
