Gania & Mr. Thom

Carlos and Wonder Woman

"So you're a grudge against me Carlos? You hurt me because I don't trust you anymore? You hurt because there's no project you can handle? Answer me Carlos!"

Mr. Thom's snapping sound echoed in the thick-walled interrogation room that measured only 4 x 3 meters. His face was clearly a dead red and was only fixed on the person sitting in front of him.

The person sitting in front of him was quite miserable. His face was full of bruises, his hair was messy, the white shirt he was wearing was full of blood. All those bad conditions were more and more complete with both hands tied.

"Today Carlos, knowing that you were the mastermind of Gania's abduction, I have no regrets about throwing you out of my life. Not only do you deserve to be banished from my life, but you deserve to be banished from this earth!"

Obviously only Mr. Thom's voice was heard in this room. The person being spoken to was silent. Either because of regret or it is not strong anymore to just raise your head. Mr. Thom did deliberately want to interrogate this former confidant of his four eyes.

This afternoon, as soon as Izako managed to subdue the 5 masked men who wanted to kidnap Gania, Mr. Thom's men instantly managed to secure everything. Even quickly they could urge one of the masked men to open their mouths, informing them who told them.

Carlos, Carlos is a former one of Mr. Thom's right-handers who was once given the confidence to handle his business in the Macau region. But in the latter business, Carlos destroyed Mr. Thom's business. Carlos cheated, a totally premeditated cheat. He sold the company's important documents to Mr Thom's business rivals in Macau. Of course Mr. Thom was furious, he suffered a considerable loss. With a heavy heart, Mr. Thom threw Carlos out of all his business joints.

"Why is Carlos silent?", Mr. Thom's angry voice seemed to soften.

"I want to destroy you Thom, destroy you completely. You should have forgiven me, given me a second chance. I was wrong then. But can't you give me a second chance? Your business has a lot of thom. Losing one in Macau obviously means nothing to you", Carlos finally spoke up.

Mr. Thom squinted his forehead. His sharp eyes shot towards Carlos.

"What did you say? Second chance? For me there is always a second chance for everyone in this world Carlos, but not for treason. Oh my God, I would even kill a thousand people like you Carlos, if it could revive someone named Ahmad Tuah".

Ahmad Tuah, that is the only name that Mr. Thom remembers most when talking about treason. Ahmad Tuah has never betrayed him in any way. Even if Ahmad Tuah actually has a million opportunities to betray.

"You said you wanted to destroy me, didn't you? If it is true? Why didn't you kill me? Why is Gania your target? Am I too heavy a target", Mr. Thom took a deep breath. He gave a pause for Carlos to answer.

"Killing you won't hurt you Thom, but hurting Gania will make you die a slow death. You will die with your guilt. Obviously you love that girl even more than yourself."

Carlos' words were short, but they seemed very imprinted on Mr. Thom's heart. If immersed, what was said by Carlos did not miss a bit. It is even true that Mr. Thom loved Gania more than himself.

Mr. Thom threw his eyes at the wall. He could not argue with Carlos this time. For 8 years he lived with Gania. Caring for and raising the girl like her own child. Cows Gania to eat when she is sick, accompanies Gania to play, school Gania even if she has no business, she is willing to accompany Gania to do her hobby of painting or writing poetry.

Mr. Thom closed his eyes long enough. Without looking at Carlos, he headed straight out of the interrogation room. He didn't even say a word when he left Carlos.

"What should we do with Carlos Tuan?", Peter right-hand man Mr Thom asked.

"Give him to Peter's law, file a lawsuit for attempted kidnapping and even attempted premeditated murder. Make sure he gets the most punishment. Let him rust in jail!"

"Is Gania up Aunt Bum?", Mr. Thom asked Aunt Bum who had accidentally run into him.

"Already Sir, Gania was hungry, she woke up. Just headed to the dining table. Now that he was eating with grandfather", Aunt Bum explained quickly.

Mr. Thom headed straight to the dining room. She finds Gania and Grandpa having dinner. As usual, in the dining room there are also several kitchen chefs and the head of the chef is Koki Bahri. The fragrant mushroom typical of Koki Bahri cuisine has been smelled and arouses the stomach to hunger instantly.

"Aah, Thom! Let's-let's have my son, we're having a big meal tonight. At least to celebrate Gania's safety, our Wonder Woman" Grandpa Hong immediately noticed Mr. Thom's presence.

Hearing Wonder Woman, Chef Bahri laughed. It was amused to hear the words Wonder Woman pinned on Gania. It doesn't feel right at all.

"Bahri's night, what's your signature dish tonight?" mr. Thom's question stopped Chef Bahri's laughter.

"Soup fresh mushrooms and goldfish arsik with andaliman the mantab sir. I ordered this andaliman. A special andaliman that grows in the land of Karo. Gania is having a tough day today, sir. Then I make sure the energy will recover if you eat the typical food of the village first, Indonesia." Chef Bahri explained excitedly.

Gania did not care about the pleasantries that were on this dining table. His mouth was busy chewing fresh goldfish meat. Grandpa Hong, wagging his hand, signs telling Mr. Thom to eat immediately. Without instructions twice, Mr. Thom immediately ate the food in front of him.

For taste issues, Koki Bahri obviously never disappoints. This Padang person, has been bailing buana in learning to cook. At the peak of his career he was once a chef at a famous restaurant in France. The mainstay of Koki Bahri cuisine is Indonesian specialties. Although still he can cook menus from various other parts of the world.

Gania which makes Koki Bahri more often cook Indonesian cuisine than other dishes. Master Thom and Grandpa Hong also did not feel any objections. Who would mind if served rendang Padang, satay Madura, soto Medan, empek-empek Palembang and various other Indonesian delicacies. Plus the cook is a world-class chef, so everything feels perfect.

After all the dishes ran aground, Grandpa Hong handed Gania a gift.

"Is this cake?" ask Gania.

"Open up first, just ask Gania. Don't get into your habit ask me anything!", Grandpa replied with a smile.

The contents of the gift turned out to be the result of Gania's shots earlier this afternoon before she was kidnapped. Before the abduction occurred, Gania did take some photos with her camera. Photos of the city park he will make a painting for his duty next Sunday.

"Geez Grandpa, Gania thinks this is missing, it turns out there, and the photos are good. My painting will also have to be good as this photo", Gania smiled very sweetly.

"Paint the good Wonder Woman!", Mr. Thom suddenly mocked Gania.

The entire dining room laughed except for Gania. He understood that the nickname Wonder Woman was just a sneer. Where there is Wonder Woman whose legs are limp and scared when they will be kidnapped.
