Meet Harlan
“Why are you crying? Did I scare you?” harlan asked the girl, but she got no answer other than the sound of increasingly loud cries.
The teenager shook his head.
“What we have met before?”
The teenager shook his head again. He did not speak because he was busy crying.
It was Caca, who happened to be in the vicinity of the Mahespati Industries building. He had just finished an art activity, along with some of his schoolmates. The activity took place in one of the buildings, which was not far from the largest company in the city and coincidentally Harlan was the owner.
He did not find the car and the driver who had driven him there. He tried to contact the driver, but his phone was off. He doesn't know what happened to him. So he wanted to find a taxi. However, just as he was walking on the sidewalk, someone called out to him.
Caca turned his head, how surprised he was when he saw the person who had called him was Harlan, someone who really wanted to be met and feared.
Seeing the angry face of Harlan, an emotional atmosphere ensued, fear and guilt mixed into the teenage girl's mind. Her crying was an expression of a sense of helplessness. As a teenager, he did not know what to do, should the man take revenge for the death of his father.
Caca imagined if he became Harlan, then he would not let go of his father easily. Perhaps he would do the same as the present hope of intimidating or even killing him.
“Then, why are you crying so much to see me?”
Caca shook his head. That's not the answer Harlan wanted.
“Are you deaf?” harlan asked again, he was getting annoyed because Caca did not answer either. Moreover, the girl cried to the attention of many people.
Finally, with a heavy heart Caca looked up and ventured to talk. Although, his heartbeat was timid like a war drum.
“Are you going to kill me?” ask Caca. He who was originally squatting while crying, now he stood up while wiping the tears on his cheeks.
Harlan thought if he continued to be there with the crying daughter, he would be suspected of doing bad or something to the girl. He might kill people for no reason.
Apparently most teenage girls are very naive minded! He thought I would kill him recklessly in a public place like this?
Therefore he just left without answering Caca's question.
Two steps later, Caca called out to him.
“Pak! Mr Harlan Mahespati Prawira!” exclaim that girl who chose to approach Harlan.
“Isn't that your name?”
Harlan nodded.
“You want to go?”
“What is your business? Do you care about me?”
Caca nodded, this is a chance for him if Harlan wants to talk to him, because the girl is also sure, that the man will not do anything in a public place that is quite crowded.
“Come! Follow me!”
Caca remained unmoved and his eyes stared at Harlan full of pleas, like a thief caught stealing and wanting to be released from punishment.
“Can I talk to you here only, Sir?” caca asked, her voice sounding trembling with fear.
“No!” sahut Harlan shook his head and turned around.
He got back in the car and before closing the door, he said to the guards, “Bring him!”
As soon as Harlan gave such an order, Caca was immediately surrounded by the bodyguards and only gave him a place to walk after them. The bodyguard only confirmed the employer's remark, that Caca must obey if he wants to survive. While the bodyguards only do what they should, because their job is to make all the affairs of Harlan run properly. The matter of how Caca feels, being more fearful than ever, is a matter of late.
“You heard, right? What is Mr Harlan's order? Come fast!” said one of the guards.
Despite the hesitation, Caca kept following where the bodyguards took him. The girl got into a different car from Harlan, because the bodyguards were directing her there.
All this time Caca was just a stranger trying to be a detective for himself. He has no connection whatsoever with the number one man at Mahespati Industries.
Caca has heard a lot about Harlan and all the football he knows. Including rumors of his marriage to Raina, a beautiful girl descended from one of the richest men in town. It could be said that Caca was a loyal monitor of the man. In fact, all the social media subscription tells the development of Mahespati Industries company, he follows as well.
However, in his heart, Caca had thought that Harlan better match with Maisara.
In the bodyguard vehicle, Caca clutched his painting equipment and bag tightly, while two bodyguards with thick hair and plontos flanked his body tightly on the right and left sides. In her heart she kept praying, and closed her eyes hoping for a miracle to come at once, to help if Harlan would kill her.
