Let Me Hate

Episode 64

Kevin and Bima head to Jakarta where they work.

" Can I ask you something?" asked Kevin to Bima.

" Please."

" Has Asta ever been hurt by someone before?," asked Kevin without releasing his gaze from the face of Bima who was driving. And he saw the change in his brother-in-law's face.

" Why are you asking like that ?."

" Has he ever been left behind and also in a very distant place?, I ask you so that I may understand and know him better."

" Asta never said anything to us. Every problem is buried by itself, we only know when he returned from the tour he followed he changed a lot. Become more quiet. We've been trying to figure out what's going on, but Asta still won't be open to us. You know, with your questions, I feel like something's going on with her that's most likely to come to light."

" Do you really know nothing?" asked Kevin in disbelief.

" Right, and how can you ask like that ?."

" Today while Asta was sleeping he was very agitated and frightened which made him say something ."

" What did he say?," urged Bima.

" Asta said that 'He came again, who left his own away from the family', I don't understand when it happened, because from his age it is impossible that Asta felt disappointed that traumatized him."

" You're right. Asta grew up prematurely when she was only 13."

" What?, that young ?."

" That's right, and we don't want to bring her back. I hope you don't ask him either because I'm sure Asta won't be able to answer."

" Well, I'm not gonna say and ask him. Thank you for answering and explaining."

For the rest of the journey Kevin was more silent as well as Bima.

" Who's 'he', what's really going on..., is it so painful for Asta to remember her back?, ' Kevin said in his heart.

They arrived at the Wira Pratama corporation building at 08am.

"Thank you, then I'll just take a taxi" said Bima handed the car keys to Kevin.

" What if you were ushered in by Mr. Toha?" said Kevin after seeing his driver approaching them.

" I don't think it's necessary. I'll go first."

" Okay, be careful !,"

Bima heads to the lobby and orders a taxi online, while Kevin heads to his office on the 17th floor.

The elevator door opened and he stepped out. He glances at the desk once occupied by Asta and Amanda now occupied by Raditya and a young woman.

" Good morning sir" Raditya said to Kevin, followed by a young woman who may be his secretary.

" Already sir" replied Raditya.

" Okay, I'm in first."

Kevin stepped into the room now occupied by Amanda.

" Good morning" Kevin said to Amanda, who appeared to be focusing on her laptop.

" Good morning. Sister.. , I don't think Brother will come" said Amanda happily.

" What's the matter?, why are you so panicked when you called me this morning?," asked Kevin as he sat on the sofa.

" Kean. I don't like the way at all. He comes around a lot and asks to see me ?,"

" That's it ?,"

" It was just that at first, but I don't know where he knows that I hold the company now. I suspect Liana, my secretary, but I have no proof."

" Where was Liana's position before work ?,"

" I followed brother's lead, I better take the secretary from the outside and have told him that as long as he works on the 17th floor, then everything that happens should not get out of here, like I always did before." Amanda explained.

" But the news came out, then what Keanu did next," asked Kevin sharply.

" He said that Brother ignored the welfare of his employees by handing over the company to his assistant secretary, because the more entitled was him" Amanda replied.

" Have you spoken to Keanu?, to find out what his purpose is ?,"

" Yes, I've spoken to him and said that he doesn't have to waste his energy doing that because the President will be back to lead the company."

" Then ?,"

"This is what I don't understand, Keanu said that Big Brother should choose his company or his wife, just as he used to choose between the company and Yunita. I really don't understand what's going on, why is there a mother's name Yunita ?,"

" Did Keanu know that you're not just an assistant secretary but Mother Nisa's daughter and now my sister ?,"

" I don't think so. Because he always said that I was just a secretary who was good at using things."

" That's one of your mistakes. I've been asking you to tell me for a long time that you are my sister. All right I'll announce soon that you're my sister whom I appointed as my representative during my time in charge of the company in America."

" Why didn't you go back to handling the company here ?."

" I also have the responsibility that someone has given me. And this company is one of them."

" Sister mean ?,"

" I built this company when I was 20 with a friend. So no one has the right to take over from us."
