It Turns out I'm the Second

Ch.57 Nanda ...

As usual, early in the morning Gathan had left for his office to be escorted by Erwin. Even though he is the son of the owner of TJ Group, it does not necessarily make it easy. Gathan is an exemplary leader with dedication and discipline.

Entering the TJ Group company, every employee bowed respectfully. Upon arrival in his room, Gathan suddenly remembered, he did not have a replacement personal assistant so he asked the personnel to provide employee data that had the potential to be his personal assistant. It did not take long, the head of personnel came to Gathan's room and handed over the data of potential employees to be personal assistants of the prospective sole heir of the TJ Group.

"Oh yes Mr. Gathan, don't you have Mr. Tio as your personal assistant, then why do you suddenly want to find a new personal assistant?" ask Mr. Dahlan, the head of the personnel division who is quite curious about the reason his boss wants to find a new personal assistant. "Is there a problem?" added again.

Gathan shook his head, there was no way he could tell the truth about Tio's betrayal of him. But because of this betrayal there was nothing to do with the work in the office, so he would just be rolling Tio to the other side.

"I just want to give potential employees the opportunity to also feel like a personal assistant" said Gathan. "Again I want to put Tio in another position. Isn't the director of development and planning going to start retiring next month? So arrange for Tio to fill that position. For a while, give him time off before he returns to active work." said Gathan, who was adopted by Mr. Dahlan. After receiving some instructions from Gathan, Mr. Dahlan was given permission to go out to resume his work.

Tok tok ...

"Get in." said Gathan when someone knocked on his study door.

"Good day, sir." said someone to Gathan.

"Good day too." said Gathan flatly. "Hows it? Did you get what I wanted?" asked Gathan who was taken in quickly by that person.

"It's mister. This is CCTV footage at the scene of your accident" said the man, handing over a flash drive. "Then this is a recording of the testimony of the doctor who handled Mr. Reza. He initially did not want to admit his mistake of manipulating the results of the patient's medical examination on behalf of Mr. Reza, but after a little pressure, he finally wanted to give a description. I have also asked him to be a witness if one day his testimony is needed to send Mr. Reza and Freya to prison" he added, handing over another flash.

Gathan immediately took his laptop and immediately put the flash in and noticed what Reza was doing before the accident. Apparently, for several weeks Reza had noticed the path that Gathan used to pass because of which he could realize his plan well. Reza really made Gathan his target.

Gathan clenched his hands tightly until his books turned white. His teeth chattered to show he was truly an emotion at this moment. How could he have been toyed with in such a way by those two people. And foolishly he entered into their trap.

If anyone asks who is the dumbest man in the world, then he unhesitatingly admits it because he feels really stupid at this time because he can get into the trap of two wolves in sheep's clothing.

Gathan continued to open the second flash. There is a recording of a doctor's confession who was paid to make a fake medical report Reza and claimed Reza was paralyzed by the accident made Gathan even more hateful to the two men.

"Thank you for your help. It doesn't seem in vain Reno recommends you because your work is very good and perfect." said Gathan sincerely. "Your payment has been transferred. Hopefully we can get back to working together another time."

"Wow, isn't this too much, sir?" said a person with eyes glaring when looking at the nominal listed on the screen of his phone.

"No. That's in line with your work."

When Mr. Dahlan was out, Gathan's phone suddenly rang. When he saw the wife who contacted him, Gathan smiled. The face that had been grim and angry earlier immediately changed bright cheerful. He immediately swiped the green icon up to lift the call.

"Assalamu'alaikum, mas." a soft, melodious voice came from across it making Gathan's feelings instantly rustle.

"Wa'alaikum salam." said Gathan gently unconsciously made Nanda who was across there meet red.

"Mas."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Well eat?" ask Nanda.

"Yet, you?" ask Gathan.

Nanda shook his head, and he soon realized, Gathan could not have seen the bundle of his head.

"Udah. How come you haven't eaten?"

"Just finished the meeting."

"Mas, eat first! It will hurt." said Nanda softly. Gathan smiled too.

"Mas."

"Yes ... "

"You can go to the minimarket which is not far from the apartment can? Nanda wants to buy some of Nanda's necessities as well as kitchens." Nanda's permission to Gathan.

In the apartment there are workers who come to cook, clean, shop, and wash, but they only work until the afternoon. Today the worker came home early because his son was sick. Therefore Nanda took the initiative to go alone to minimarket. It wasn't too far away, he thought. Just a hose of a large house and one shop unit only. You only need to walk for how many minutes. But, despite his proximity, he still had to ask Gathan for permission.

"Why not ask for help from Ely?"

"Sir Ely came home early. There is a family who entered the hospital because." said Nanda.

"Yes, but be careful dear." Gathan said on the phone before the call was cut.

"You're sure Gathan lives in this apartment?" freya asked someone she met at a cafe opposite the apartment Gathan lived in.

"It's pretty sure, because from the first time he followed his car yesterday, he always came and went from there" said someone while drinking his americano. "You why? Fighting and splitting the bed?" ask someone who is curious.

"Just a little quarrel "a lie Freya with a smile.

"If the problem is small, quickly solve it. Don't get big! Remember, he also has another wife. Not because of this little problem, get him closer to his new wife."

"You just calm down. That's why I'm looking for his whereabouts to apologize and get better." said Freya confidently. Though his mind was so worried. He was worried that Gathan would divorce him. Before that happens, he wants to apologize.

Freya had tried to meet at Tj Group's office, but Gathan would not see her. That's why he'll try to meet her at her apartment. He hoped, Gathan would forgive him. He promised to change if Gathan would forgive him

Just as he was thinking of apologizing, Freya suddenly saw someone she knew so well out of the apartment lobby.

Instantly Freya stiffened. His chest was up and down because of emotion. His hands clenched tightly until his books turned white. He felt he was fooled. He thought Nanda had really been cast out, but in fact it was all just a charade. It turns out that Nanda actually lives with Gathan in his apartment.

His desire to apologize now changed back to his heartache. He did not think that it was a sign that his plan to pit Gathan and Nanda had been discovered. He also did not think, all the root of this problem is himself and his father.

Without saying goodbye to his friend, Freya came out of the cafe to his car and drove to him while watching Nanda who entered a minimarket. Without getting out of the car, Freya waited, until a while later she saw Nanda coming out of the minimarket while carrying two rather large sized bags.

With anger rising, Freya drove her car behind Nanda at a speed high enough to breakkk .....

Prang ....

The coffee cup Gathan was holding suddenly fell to the floor and broke.

Deg ...

"Nanda .. "blu Gathan.

Elsewhere, somewhere else,

Brakkk ...

"Nanda .." exclaimed Doni as she looked at the photo of Nanda hanging in Doni's study room falling to the floor until her glass cracked.
