Guarding Love

CHAPTER 5 - Graduation and the Last Photo

A month since Arden's meeting with Hanny at JJ's cafe, Arden is about to depart for his strenuous training but there is a gift from Oma Susi for him that day. Arden looked at the photo of Hanny wearing a light pink kebaya that perfectly matched her blushing white skin. Today at Hanny's graduation, she's a smart girl. Graduated with perfect grades and became an exemplary student as well as a full scholarship from his university. Makes Arden very proud of his future wife. Arden saw Hanny still wearing a necklace from him, saw the chain of the necklace and the pendant tucked inside his shirt. "Wait for me Honey." Arden muttered by stroking the screen of his bodyguard's phone and this was the last photo he got for the next 1 year.

"Let her not hurt or cry. If I come back and she looks a little sad, you pay with your life." Arden and his guards swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.

"Good boss." The answer trembled a little.

Arden training takes at most 1 year, if Arden can accelerate it then at the earliest 6-8 months can be completed. Depending on the intelligence and cunning of the brain and its physical. What training is that? It's unknown other than who's been following him, even Arden doesn't know. Because everything's SECRET.

Hanny looks happy accompanied by Alex's papi who is very proud of her. "You're beautiful and smart, baby. It's like your mama." Alex muttered to see Hanny taking pictures and laughing cheerfully with her friends.

"I'm sorry papi son, can't keep your word and Jo's brother. All this for your future, son." Alex continues to weep and shed his tears.

\~\~\~\~\~\~

A month passed after Hanny's graduation, she had enough rest and was about to start looking for work. Hanny plans to break into one of the Southeastern companies, it's easy for Hanny because of the perfect value she got and the perfect internship value in one of the Southeastern subsidiaries in the suburbs last year. Alex has offered him a job at Salim's company but Hanny refuses because Alex is there. "Can't shout one office with papi. Later if Hanny wants to run away for clubing same friend can be found dong pi." The answer, but Alex knew it was just a joke of his favorite son. Where possible Hanny clubing, spoiled and fond of this snack alone never come home above 9 pm.

Actually Alex does not want Hanny to work because in a few months Hanny will be married to a man of Alex's choice, but he still kept it a secret. Alex just wants Hanny to enjoy her free time happily. Thinking later she would become a wife who served her husband only. Alex let out a long sigh, puzzled over how he had conveyed this to Hanny.

Alex recalled 3 months ago, he found suspicious financial statements. It was immediately reported to the director of finance who was then in the hands of Johan Salim, the son of the President Director Adam Salim. After a thorough check and sudden audit, it was discovered that there was large-scale corruption in the Salim company and it was known who the mastermind was. Billions of funds were spent to compensate for the losses. Many double bookkeeping and many bodong companies and all that is the work of Adam Salim, the main director of PT Lim Elt.

Actually since last year has been smelling unhealthy finances at the company Salim but Alex can not do anything because Johan does not believe in the allegations given Alex to some longtime employees in the company the company and his father were involved.

"But what about my daughter Mr Adam? My daughter is going to graduate college in a few months. We're just living together" Alex asked worriedly considering she was alone with Hanny.

"How about we match your daughter to Johan?" Adam and Alex were surprised for a moment.

"Can't pi, Johan won't." Sergey Johan was in that room.

"Must!" Jerk Adam. Johan was silent, and so was Alex. Because Salim's grandfather likes Hanny a lot and wants her to be his daughter-in-law's granddaughter.

They dissolve in each other's minds. Alex thinks of Hanny waiting for Jo from the orphanage, though Alex also doesn't believe the boy will return. An obscure boy who leaves without news and arbitrarily makes an appointment with his daughter. While Johan thinks of his lover who will be angry later if he marries another girl. Indeed, he knew that Hanny was a beautiful girl even though not as beautiful as her lover but it was good to match her with an ordinary girl.

"Sir Alex is calm, we will manage it well. Mr. Alex only entered bui at most 2 years and after cut remission and others at most only 1 year 5 months. We can accede to your daughter if you are going to be placed in an overseas branch for 2 years" explained Mr. Adam with a mature plan to Alex who is still silent about his fate.

"Think again, if your daughter becomes the daughter-in-law of the Salim family, it would be a good thing for you and your daughter in the future. He can work to help Johan as well in the company." The connection is again but Johan still does not accept it.

"Can't pi, Johan has pu.." Johan's sentence came to a halt as Adam again struck him firmly.

"You have to accept all these decisions, like it or not."

Adam tells Alex to go home first and wants to talk to his son about something important there. Alex got out of the room.
