Consorts of the Heart Mr. Billionaires
Chapter.71 (A beginning)
Arumi and Bima stand facing each other on the balcony of the apartment. Arumi thrust an envelope that was quite thick in front of Bima. Bima did not immediately receive the envelope, because he still questioned what it contained.
"What's this?" ask Bima.
"I just got a bonus from the office because my team managed to reach the sales target, so I want to repay my debt to you" Arumi said.
"debt? When you owe me, I can't accept it" Bima refused, for him all the money he spent on Arumi was a selfless favor.
"Just take it." Arumi grabbed Bima's hand and put a wad of money in Bima's hand, "At least help me reduce the burden of the mind because too much you have given, this is not even how."
After giving birth, and caring for her twin babies for one year. Arumi starts looking for work on her own without Bima's help. He literally crawled from Zero in that foreign land, beginning to be a property sales sales sales now slowly he has begun to enjoy the results of his prison after being appointed as a manager in a property company that offers land buying and selling services, housing and investment in large quantities.
Bima used to offer a job at his company but again Arumi refused because he was afraid that both Bima's parents recognized him and reported to Mama if he was there. Now he has proven with his own feet and hands he can sustain the lives of his two children even though it is still far from luxurious.
"Arumi .. you-"
"Already Bima, I can stand like now thanks to your help, so let me repay your kindness from now on" Arumi said and smiled at Bima. Bima can only be silent while looking at the beautiful lips that he can not even touch.
If I may be selfish, I want you to repay everything I have given you with your heart, but I am not a god who can flip through the heart of man, the inner Milky Way.

Alfaro opened his eyes as sunlight poured in from the window of the room that was not covered with curtains. He slowly got up and sat on the bed holding his head still dizzy, but it was already the second day after he got drunk at the bar that night.
He saw a clock on the wall of the room showing seven in the morning. He got out of bed to the bathroom to clean himself up. His stomach was still nauseous, he was the type of person who was not strong with alcohol but still forced himself. He regretted himself because he was too carried away by the feeling of destruction that did not also decrease after so many years.
Alfaro stood in front of the sink, spewing out all his guts which made his head throb. His gaze suddenly turned to the wedding ring that was still attached to his ring finger. He was silent for a moment, wiping the ring that was hit by the splash of water. The ring is still shiny even though it no longer meets its partner.

After finishing the bath, Alfaro came out of the bathroom and was about to walk in closet. But the ringing of the phone stopped his steps that were already holding the door handle. He stepped towards the nightstand and grabbed his phone. He frowned because the one who called was Bianca. There must be something important until Bianca calls this early.
After the incident where they were almost betrothed. Now Alfaro, Bianca and her husband are best friends. Bianca often asks for advice via chat messages for businesses she is currently running in her husband's country. Alfaro stepped towards the balcony of the room with a towel wrapped around his waist. Letting the row of torn bread be plastered real.
"Hallo?"
[Good morning Al, am I interrupting?]
"No, I haven't left for the office, why?"
[Look, Albert and I are in Malaysia right now, to review the location of the place for our new resort and hotel, as I told you, I entrust this project to your company, if you can come to Malaysia to review its location with us, we desperately need your help.]
Alfaro was silent for a moment. Actually he's been very busy lately, but he's also not good if you have to refuse Bianca's request. Moreover, this was a huge project entrusted to him. As a friend, he has no power to say no.
"Well, I'll rearrange my schedule after that I'll go straight there."
[Thank you Al, me and Albert will be waiting for your news.]
"Yes are the same."
Alfaro turned off the phone call. He thought by flying to Malaysia he could forget for a moment the burden of his mind with a new atmosphere in the neighboring country. After ending the call, he went back into his room to change clothes, and it was too late to meet the client this morning.

Alfaro was still not getting ready. Aril has come to pick her up. If Aril picks up the boss it means they have a meeting outside the office. Aril waved his hand as he saw Almira coming out of the main door in neat clothes. After graduating from university in America, now Almira also works in the company of her brother as a financial director.
"Master Al is awake, isn't he?" ask Aril to make sure.
"Maybe in a moment brother .. oh yes can we talk for a moment?" pinta Almira's.
Almira approached then glanced to the left right, who knew Mama was suddenly there, after making sure the situation was safe he again saw Aril. Aril is increasingly curious about what Almira will say until his boss' sister is acting strangely like now.
"So, brother, I'm still investigating about Bi Ranti's disappearance, a few days ago I met someone who used to be Bi Ranti's subscription motorcycle taxi driver."
"Continue, how?"
"The father said, the last time he drove Bi Ranti four years ago to the airport, he said Bi Ranti wanted to go abroad," he explained again.
"What did he say, in which country?" ask Aril.
"That's it, his father forgot .. indeed the father was old so it was natural that he forgot," said Almira.
"Huh, it's the same as lying Miss," said Aril.
"Hey what are you doing there!" exclaims Alfaro from the main doorway.
Aril and Almira glanced back where Alfaro was. It seemed like their conversation should end now, because it was Alfaro who was stepping over to them.
"Good morning sir?" greet Aril.
"What are you talking about, it seems serious?" alfaro asked as he squinted his eyes.
"Ahaha, there's nothing sis, I'm just discussing with sis Aril about work" Almira said suddenly.
"That's fine" Aril said, confirming Almira's speech.
Not without reason Aril and Almira kept this matter a secret. It was enough Alfaro was disappointed by the futile search results. They want to find solid evidence and then they'll tell Alfaro. Since four years ago, they had suspected that Bi Ranti might have gone with Arumi.
"Well then we leave now, sir, the client must have been waiting," said Aril broke the silence that had been created.
Without saying anything, Alfaro got into the car and was followed by Aril who entered the steering chair. When the car disappeared from behind the towering fence, Almira could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh, congratulations." Almira tried to normalize herself after she had tensed up. Then he drove to the car garage.

The journey to the restaurant to meet clients is monitored smoothly, there are no significant congestion. Nature also seems to support with sunlight that somehow not too intercept the skin but still feels warm.
"What about my schedule for the next week?" alfaro asked as he checked the work in a tab of his.
"In the meantime there are only a few meetings, working visits to branch offices, meeting clients from Australia, monthly data checking and.
"You handle everything, I'll go to Malaysia tomorrow, get me a ticket" Alfaro said, massaging his heavy head.
"Malaysia for what Mr. .. do you want a vacation?" asked Aril curiously.
"No, Bianca and her husband will review the location of the hotel and resort project in Malaysia they asked me to come to check the location they will buy" Alfaro said.
"Oh so, well I will order a plane ticket today as well," said Aril who remained focused on looking ahead.
The next fate has begun, for a pair of human children who have been separated for so long. For how destiny divides and how destiny unites, each destiny has its own way. Just walk until the point set.
