They Once Were
“Don't kill me! Ann ...! Please, I'm sorry, Harlan! I admit my mistake!” Roni shouted back in a loud voice filled with fear and regret. He was afraid that Hansen would completely eliminate him and Nela.
Roni regretted having accepted Hansen's offer to drink last night, he did not remember anything after receiving a glass of wine from the man. Shortly before fainting, he thought the intense dizziness in the head was, as a result of being drunk. But now he knew the drink was mixed with something.
“Do you have a problem with Harlan?” asked Hansen curiously.
When he heard the question Roni thought hard, whether he should honestly tell the real problem about himself, Maisara and Nela or not.
Soon Roni is in a dilemma, if he tells a story it will affect him too, because he does not know what Hansen will do after knowing the problem.
The worst result if Hansen then use Maisara to blackmail Harlan. It was likely that the man would be even more angry at him.
However, Roni had been close and loved Maisara, they had been in a relationship as a lover, so he could not bear if something happened to him. After experiencing a few things lately he just wishes if everything was okay, including what Maisara experienced in a new place.
“Nothing, I just did the job he gave me, but I broke his trust!” roni said, he stood up to cover up the real problem.
Meanwhile, Nela, who is still tied next to Roni, was grateful when the man did not say the truth. Her problems, Roni and Maisara, are not necessarily known to the foreign man, as Nella has similar concerns. He was afraid that Hansen's actions would be worse after finding out.
Hansen grinned, while understanding Harlan's uncaring attitude towards his cousin. It's a shame, because he was disappointed. On the other hand he was a little strange, with Harlan already looking so dashing, like never getting any injuries or paralysis in the slightest.
However, he understood because of the sophistication of health technology that made his former boss recover faster. If ordinary people, who had such a great accident, could certainly be lifeless again.
Suddenly he shuddered, and was determined not to deal anymore, with a man like Harlan.
“Go! You guys are useless!” hansen said, while pulling the rope in Roni's hand, “I'm sorry I tied you up but Harlan is not willing to divorce Raina!”
After that Hansan just left.
Roni throbbed, while looking at Hansen's back which started to drift away. He was also upset with her. The man loves and wants to have Raina but others are his target to blackmail Harlan.
Actually, he as a brother, had been astonished and doubtful by the rumors circulating about Harlan's second marriage with Raina, for he had never seen the woman in the house of the Mahespati family and was recognized as a second wife.
Everyone in the room was unaware of Raina and Harlan's progress on divorce information. However, each family has not cared, while Raina was reluctant to announce her son's divorce with the CEO of Mahespati Industries.
Roni had finished opening all the bonds in his body, then he released the bonds in Nela's body one by one. His face was pale, his lips were smiling wryly and his hand movements were weak and trembling, because since yesterday they had not drunk or eaten anything.
“Go home, or you can go anywhere for a while. The atmosphere around me will always intersect with Harlan. So, you can rest easy when the atmosphere is completely safe!” said.
“Actually, who is he?”
“Hansen? They used to be good friends, she loved Raina but she liked my cousin! It's a little complicated .. After finding out that Harlan ignored Raina he made Harlan almost die by a car accident!”
“So, that guy who has made Mr Harlan paralyzed?”
Nella thinks quickly that she must leave Askanawa City for her own safety, because they do not feel safe until Hansen gets his wish.
“So, is it likely that Hansen will continue blackmailing Mr Harlan until he manages to get Reina?
“Yes. Just maybe!”
“Did you think the same of me, if Mr Harlan was good? Proof he didn't do anything to Hansen!”
Roni was silent, she did not like the person she loved praising the other man in front of her. According to Roni, Harlan did nothing to the man who had bound him, not because of his kindness, but because he did not care.
“Already let's go!”
The two men went from a simple little house that Hansen had rented, to hold them.
The world is beautiful to some, small to some and unfair to others. Including Harlan's accident committed by his own best friend just because of the woman he loves. It's an irony.
Harlan won't take revenge as long as Hansan doesn't touch Maisara.
So, he sauntered quietly as he exited the house that used to hold his cousin. He is sure, his former employees will not do anything again this time.
Hansen's cover was exposed, but he was still given a chance by Harlan, considering they were good friends, and Hansen was a meritorious person to his company.
Moreover, he had threatened loudly, but if his friend was still repeating the same actions, then he would force him to rot in prison.
This time Harlan would not be careless towards the man anymore. He would always use a driver and bodyguard wherever he went. Not fear or cowardice, but he must protect himself, to protect many. His company also houses thousands of employees and there are also people around who need a helping hand. Including the person he loved—mother and his wife.
If he doesn't protect himself well, how can he protect those around him, that's why.
Harlan meets Fedi and Lepi, as well as several other expert staff in a confined meeting room, in one of Mahespati Industries' buildings. He will talk about orders that come faster, even though only a day they released their new production.
Harlan had already gotten all the information while on the trip earlier, the assistant explained it in detail before they arrived at the building. So, when they had gathered there and the president was among them, Harlan decided and the others agreed.
“So, Sir! Reminders of delivery to the western district is quite time consuming and costing, I will raise the price or we can ask for the postage as much as two percent, “ said financial expert.
Several division heads such as marketing, production, promotion and raw materials agreed to the proposal. They all understood that if it carried 50 large enough printing presses, it could not be underestimated. Everything requires caution, and maintaining consumer trust is of the utmost importance! Shipments that have the highest safety up to the goods can arrive without the slightest defect.
“The price increase and 2% shipping cost is too expensive, because our goods already have the standards of the upper middle class, the price is quite appropriate! Especially for Hansen Foundation, I give them a 30 percent discount and free shipping for them!”
The president's answer was astounding, making those in the room throw one another's eyes. In fact, the head of marketing until the tip of the temple, because he suddenly dizzy.how could give a discount for 50 products, with each price of 30 percent, with each price, it was the same as Harlan wanting to give Hansan a gift.
Hearing Harlan's words, immediately Fedi muttered, “Why he said he would give a discount, but just say frankly .. if half of the machine is given for free!”
