KEEPING SECRETS (CAN YOU?)

Eps. 34 Wrong Attitude

“This is a mistress, there is a package for miss Diva.” Said one of the two bodyguards assigned by Adli at Diva's residence, while handing over a large bouquet of red and white roses.

“Wow?” That was all Mina could say. His thin hands immediately hugged the large bouquet of roses. ‘Perhaps more than a hundred stalks of roses are in here.’ Inner Minah. “Who sent it?” Ask Minah after successfully grabbing the bouquet.

“There's a greeting card inside mistress.”

“Oh, alright thank you.”

The guard bowed and then returned to his place.

“Diva... Diva... quick down nak.” Call Minah to the Diva who is still in her room.

“Iya bu...” Sahut Diva and immediately ran down to Minah.

At once the Diva was amazed to find Minah, her foster mother, was hugging a large bouquet of roses. Even because the size of Minah's entire face was covered in a bouquet of flowers.

“Bu... Who can send flowers from and for whom?” Tanya Diva was still amazed.

“For you son, this accept first. I'll look for some vases to put these very many flowers.” Minah replied while handing it over.

“U-for me? From whom?” Ask Diva while trying to grab a bouquet from Minah's hand.

“That's no greeting card from sender. I haven't read it.” He said as he passed to the back to look for a vase of flowers.

Diva put the bouquet on the table and then she took the greeting card tucked there. A greeting card in blue, his favorite color. Diva quickly opened the greeting card and read it.

‘For Diva angel teranggun. From your friend ~ B ~’

“My friend? B's? Who yeah? What, Bambang, Basir? Aaah.. Why use initials all the way?” Shouted Diva irritated. “But I don't have a friend by the name of Bagio, Bambang let alone Basir.” Sewang Diva's.

“Well, I've brought you some glass vases and crystals. Hopefully enough to accommodate everything.”  Minah said while carrying a basket containing several vases.

Deftly Minah moved the rose stems and arranged them in a vase. Then after he finished he immediately put the vase somewhere else.

While Diva still thinks hard who the person who sent these roses. He's totally confused.

“I will check it in my phone contact list.” Diva lirih.

Diva had stopped at one number that was not given a name. He just gave me some red heart pictures there. Diva smiled as the number had sent her several messages and several hundred calls. And he didn't reply.

“Hehehe... Sorry brother, I want to assess whether my feelings for you do not clap one hand. So while I won't reply to all your chats and won't pick up the phone from you, I want you to try to find me and see me.” Say Diva slowly but expectantly.

“Alright, because everyone has gathered here. I'll just go straight on.” Burhan said after two lawyers sat in front of him. While Nabila and Adli sit on the right and left.

“Oke, we want to listen first how the decision is taken by you and the client. After that we will hold a media meeting.” Said one of the lawyers with a big smile.

“Alright please listen to this, after reading and weighing the subpoena sent to us, so with this we decide not to do or implement what your client demands on the subpoena you send to us. This is because….*)”

The faces of Ferdi's two lawyers looked devastated. The arguments and articles they carefully compiled could be broken very easily by Burhan. But as professionals, of course they will not admit it openly.

“We have no power here to hinder you from doing what you want to do. But I will only remind you that it should not need both of you or your client to do, because if it is still you do I would like you are salting the ocean. Since surely we will not be silent, we will definitely try to break it before it rises into the realm of investigation. Me and the team will make sure of that.”

“Please do what you want to do Mr. Burhan. And we're sure we'll see each other again soon in the courtroom. And we'll find out who will laugh at the end of the show. Good afternoon. We beg you excuse.” Roughly the two lawyers got up from their seats and walked out.

“What did Mr Burhan say? That they must have failed in the end.” Tanya Nabila was full of worries.

“We will do everything possible Miss Nabila, Mr. Adli. May Allah Ta’ala meridoi us. You also need to be more confident, miss. You have a strong and powerful friend.”

“Really? Me?” Ask Nabila again.

Burhan simply nodded and smiled knotfully to answer Nabila.

“Sorry, is this address listed here home?” Ask Bethoven. It's the night Bethoven's been groomed all out. He wanted to make a deep impression on the Diva.

“True.” The guard said after reading the address on the screen Bethoben showed him.

“Is the Diva at home? And can I meet him?” Ask Bethoven.

“Who are you? And there needs to be what?” The guard asked coldly.

“Bethoven. I'm Bethoven, her friend Diva.”

“Good, wait here.” The guard answered and called someone with his cell phone. His eyes remained alert even though his other hand was busy with his phone. “Said madam Minah, I was told to take you in. Please follow me.”

The guard only escorted him to the side of the house. Bethoven is welcome to sit there and wait. After that the guard went back to his place to leave Bethoven alone.

Bethoven was so upset. In his heart he was very confused and awkward about going to talk how and ask. He stood watching her appearance and sat down again. Not a minute later he stood up and sat down again.

“Eh hem.” Minah cleared her throat from behind Bethoven. It made the young man shocked.

“Ah.. Oh.. Good night tan.. Meet me Bethoven, his friend Diva.” Bethoven introduced himself with a misdeed.

“Hmmm... Please sit.” Answer Minah. “What do you need?” Minah asked after Bethoven sat down, and Minah stared intently at Bethoven.

“Aaa.. Anu tan, no need anything really. Just wanted to play.” Bethoven answered with a cold sweat that began to come out, getting a sharp eye from Minah. “Oh yes, I apologize, this aunt what Diva yes? Is this aunt her mother?”

“Not. I am not his mother. But, his mother.” Answer Minah firmly.

Bethoven gawking. He scratched the end of his head that was not itchy. ‘Tante is joking or what?  his look was horrible. My cold sweat until it comes out all.’ Inner Bethoven.

Seriate…
