I'm the One who chose you

Chapter 41: Subroto Dies, Gea meets Tiysa

Some employees at Tristan's place start to feel strange with Tristan, lately Tristan looks like a rush in giving material to them. Dian who already knew Tristan felt the same way.

He felt that Tristan accelerated a few steps in providing materials and directions to his subordinates. It felt like Tristan was going to leave them.

What Dian was worried about was true, in two weeks Tristan will resign and leave Tirta Wira Perkasa, therefore Tristan accelerated the progress of his employee learning as a memento gift from him.

Shortly after Tristan ended the meeting, Tristan's phone rang, he saw Damar's name on his phone screen.

“Hal-”

“Tristan Grandpa Subroto..,” by Damar who directly cut off Tristan's speech. A sobbing sound was heard from him who was trying to convey a message to Tristan.

Tristan lowered his head, his eyes glazed over, he could immediately tell what Damar was trying to convey.

“Brother... I understand, I will go directly to Grandpa Subroto's place,” replied Tristan softly.

“.... ...” No reply from Damar was just sobs of sadness heard ending their phone call.

Tristan leaned back in her chair, she stared at the ceiling of her study. Tristan knew this would happen. When first seeing Grandpa Subroto's condition, Tristan felt that soon Subroto would go for good, because that's why Tristan tried to bring Subroto together with Bisma and Damar.

Upon hearing Grandpa Subroto's improved condition, Tristan was a little surprised and delighted, but he recalled one of his doctor friends once said that in the medical world there is a term called Rally or terminal lucidity.

Rally or terminal lucidity is a condition in which a critical patient suddenly improves, but after a few days the patient will die. This phenomenon is categorized as either a pre-death experience or end of life experience (ELE).

Tristan hopes that it is not what Grandpa Subroto experienced, but after getting a phone call from Damar, only that phenomenon can explain the sudden death of Grandpa Subroto.

Tristan grabbed his phone back, he then contacted Tiysa.

“Halo darling,” greet Tiysa.

“Tiysa, I'm sorry, I can't seem to have lunch with you today, one of my relatives just passed away,” Tristan said.

“I'm sorry..well we can have lunch next time,” replied Tiysa.

“Thank you for your understanding,” reply Tristan then end the call.

Tristan then turned to Dian who was still in his room. “Dian looks like I have to go home early today, please replace me to take care of the work today,” Tristan said as he stood up from his seat.

Dian nodded, he already knew what happened when he heard Tristan's conversation and the man who contacted Tristan.

Tristan left his room and went to one of the rooms that used to be a place to rest, by the janitor in his office.

“Pak Suryo.”

“Iya Sir,” replied Suryo who looked surprised to see the highest leader in the company was in front of the janitor's room.

“I heard that Mr. Suryo used to work as a driver from the old CEO,” said Tristan.

“Iya right Sir,” replied Suryo briefly.

“Can Mr Suryo take me to Bogor now?” ask Tristan back.

“Of course Sir,” replies Suryo, he then got up from his seat, and headed for the company's official car park for the CEO in the parking lot.

At this time it can be ascertained if Purwadi and his family will also go to Bogor, because his identity is kept secret, Tristan could not have had Haris take him there, in addition, Tristan asked Suryo to take him because Bisma once told him that Suryo was his personal driver when he served as CEO at Tirta Wira Perkasa company, Suryo is also a subordinate who has served long enough in the Kuncoro family.

On the way, Suryo continued to glance at Tristan who was in the back seat through the middle rearview mirror, Suryo could see the sadness clearly reflected in the look of Tristan's face.

“Pak Tristan, what is it?” ask Suryo. He felt astonished to see his usual leader look gallant and full of spirit now look moody.

Tristan smiled, he was completely washed away in his delusion.

“Pak Suryo are you close to Uncle Bhishma?” ask Tristan.

Suryo was surprised when he heard the word ‘Paman’ pinned Tristan to Bisma.

“Of course sir, I'm quite close to him,” reply Suryo.

“Today I was contacted by Damar his son Uncle Bisma, it looks like Grandpa Subroto is gone for good,” Tristan said.

Suryo's two hands holding the steering wheel immediately shook at the news of Subroto's death.

“Pak Tristan.. has Mr Bhishma and his son met Mr Subroto?” suryo asked sadly.

“Yes, for the past week, they were both taking care of Grandpa Subroto,” Tristan replied as she gazed out the window.

Suryo smiles happily, knowing that Bisma hid her whereabouts after she was expelled from the Kuncoro family.

Suryo also knows that Subroto has been searching for the existence of Bhishma all this time. Hearing if the two people he had served were to meet again, made him feel happy and sad at the same time.

“Pak Tristan, can I take my son with us to pay our last respects to Mr Subroto? He also called Mr. Subroto as Grandpa, I want him to see Mr. Subroto for the last time,” pinta Suryo.

“Of course Sir,” reply Tristan short.

Tiysa was shocked and speechless, after Tristan contacted him, a girl named Gea suddenly came to him as she was about to get into his car.

Gea says if she is Tristan's fiance, Gea also asks him kindly to leave Tristan.

After sleeping with Devan at the hotel, Devan gives him the idea to get Tiysa to leave Tristan, he tells Gea to talk nicely with Tiysa, Devan also gives the address where Tiysa works to Gea.

Hearing Gea's remarks, Tiysa does not immediately believe, but after seeing a photo of Tristan's engagement event on Gea's mobile phone, coupled with Gea saying that today she will meet Tristan at her Grandpa's funeral, that made Tiysa finally have to believe the girl's words.

Tristan, who had just contacted him, said he would visit one of his relatives who died.

“So please Kak Tiysa can understand, I love my fiance very much, indeed at this time our relationship is a little troubled, but me and Tristan love each other, we even plan to get married in the next year, we even plan to get married in the next year,” said Gea by pleading with Tiysa.

Tiysa was silent, she also loved Tristan very much, but in the current situation she felt guilty for having taken someone else's fiance.

Smiling Tiysa said, “Alright I promise I won't see Tristan again .. I'm sorry I also had time to walk with your fiancee.”

Gea smiled happily, she said, “Thank you Kak Tiysa for your understanding.” After conveying that, he immediately paid his respects to Tiysa and left the place.

Moments after Gea left, Tiysa was no longer able to stem her tears, she got into her car. In the passenger seat, Gina, who had gotten into Tiysa's car before Gea arrived, saw all the events.

She was also sad to see Tiysa crying so badly. He could not say anything to comfort Tiysa.
