Exchanging Bride
Little Degeneration Aldi
"Hi darling. How long to pick up the phone." Aldi greeted Kiara whose face was visible on her phone screen.
Kiara smiled sweetly at Aldi's affection.
"Yes. Tidying up your hair and staying up before lifting your video call."
"Duh duh." Aldi smiled at Kiara who looked wrong but with a face shining with a smile. Kiara's gaze could not focus on looking at Aldi in embarrassment.
"Apaan the Al. If you're still struggling, I'm closing the phone."
"Don't dong darling. I'm still missing." Aldi who was usually cold-faced and rigid sounded like everyone else.
"No believe. Just separated this morning. Don't mngombalin me like menegombalin son ABG deh."
"Don't you still look like ABG's son? Where there are adult women who easily blush because they are called doang!" Aldi seemed to raise his voice as if shouting. But after that giggles in front of Kiara.
"Who is ashamed. Don't make it up."
"That's your cheek red."
"Needs." Kiara approached the mirror not seeing any cheeks or reddened face.
"You are making things up Al. My cheeks or face are not red at all."
"Not cooking. Your camera means the one that makes a red glow."
"Camera?" Kiara seemed to think.
Aldi really wanted to laugh seeing how Kiara took every word of Aldi seriously.
"Aldi! Ngerjain only!" Kiara only realized that she had been played by Aldi since then.
"Yes. Sorry yeah. Have you had lunch, Ra?" Aldi suddenly turned Kiara's attention to Aldi's goal of calling.
"Yet. But I ordered the lunch menu. Maybe it'll be here soon."
"Order what menu?"
"Fried duck."
"One doang menu?"Aldi was astonished.
"Yes. I'll eat."
"Less varied Ra."
"Ntar night is more varied. When dinner with you. Now that's enough."
"Ting keg's.." Room service arrived on time so Kiara could have a reason to end Aldi's phone call.
"I'll open the door first yeah, maybe order my lunch."
After bringing in her lunch, Kiara returned to her phone screen.
"Have you had lunch?"
"Yet. You just first. I'm easy. Also take the medicine after this."
"Yes." Yeah." Kiara replied briefly.
Both of them still want to linger on the phone ria. But Kiara felt awkward making a video call like this with Aldi for the first time. Aldi still has a job. Couldn't be any longer teasing the woman on her phone screen.
"I'm closing, Ra. You eat yes... I'll call you back." Pamit Aldi's
"OKAY. Get the job done so you can go home soon."
"Do you really want me to come home soon?"
"Yes, really."
"Let's ask for a gift!" Kiara will be tempted Aldi again.
"That's why I came home a little night. No gifts waiting for me."
"What do you want?"
"Well you."
"Me?"
"Yes. I want you to be my present tonight."
"I have to wrap myself in that gift?"
"Can too. Your idea is very creative anyway dear" Aldi was unceasingly smiling from earlier every time he heard Kiara's answer. Nor tempt Kiara with her unreasonable desires.
"Yes, Ra. See you later." Aldi ended the call unilaterally.
Kiara who is still confused to interpret Aldi's desire just silently staring at the screen of his phone that has been extinguished.
Aldi is getting excited about completing all the agendas and work plans today. Hurriedly put an end to her teasing of Kiara in order to start returning to her work.
The first job he had to deal with was Bima.
"Daniel, come in." Aldi called Daniel by phone at his desk.
Not long after, Daniel was in front of Aldi.
"How's Bima?"
"Usai arrived at his residence this morning, Pak Bima did not seem to make any movement. Their family doctor had just left by noon. But at this lunch hour Pak Bima had an appointment with the mobile application holders who had removed the Atmaja hotel network from their stay menu."
"good. Bima will be moving this afternoon to deal with the crisis I created. But I'm gonna create another crisis."
"Pak Aldi will not make it difficult for Pak Bima to enter the Atmaja hotel network into the mobile phone application again?"
"Of course not. That would purely be the decision of the owners of those apps."
"I still don't understand your clever plan."
"I have hacked some of the top apps in Indonesia with the most number of app users. I removed the entire great Atmaja hotel from their list. Overnight, hotel tenants under the auspices of the Atmaja Group dropped by 80%. Haha." Aldi laughing. But his laughter was not like when talking to Kiara earlier. This time his laughter sounded cold with the pressure of anger.
Daniel just silently waited for Aldi who looked very angry with a frightening cold aura.
"How dare Bima really carry out her plan to separate me from Kiara. How dare he make me touch Verlita! And more courage, he touched my weak Kiara. Harnessing his weakness to approach and touch my woman!" Only this time Aldi vent his anger since the night of the trapping of Bima.
Aldi looked at Daniel who was still waiting for what Aldi would say next. Daniel did understand when he could voice his opinion before Aldi.
"I've left a message to every app owner, Atmaja Group could be back in their hotel rental application if Bima comes to see them and offers them a very profitable deal."
"So Mr Aldi will create the next crisis in another aspect?"
"Yes." Yeah." Aldi took out a USB memory and gave it to Daniel.
"Make this video a trending topic." Aldi's orders
"Good, sir." Daniel retreats.
Go directly to his desk and open the video that is in the USB provided by Aldi.
In the video, Bima is in a room that looks like a hotel room with a woman whose face has been censored. The woman was just wearing a bath towel that Bima had forcibly ruffled.
Daniel understands this is a video that was accidentally recorded by a camera on Aldi's necklace while being drugged by Bima and Verlita. The duration is not up to a minute. But the face and behavior of Bima in the video is already quite clear.
Daniel deftly sent the video through an anonymous email to reporters who are quite skilled in handling regular gossip to be hot and viral.
"Pak Aldi still has not used the power of WS TECH or BLUE CORP. But Mr. Bima seems to be losing heavily this time," Daniel said to himself after carrying out the task that Aldi gave.
