Upon arrival at the office, the secretary immediately approached when he saw Sam who had just got out of his car. The secretary's face looked anxious, he quickened his footsteps to meet Sam.
"Morning goal, Mr. Sam" said the secretary. Looking at his secretary's expression, Sam stared intently. His bright smile instantly disappeared from his face.
"Morning. What's up?" ask Sam to guess.
"Mr Darma. He's been waiting for you in the room, sir" replied nervously.
Sam furrowed his eyebrows, handed Aji the keys to park his car, and rushed to his room.
This is the second time Darma has met Sam in person, if it wasn't for the important thing he wouldn't have wasted time coming. Last
Darma coming to see Sam in the office ended badly, "Will he hit me with his cane again ?!" sam muttered in his heart.
But this is better, than the bodyguards who come, will definitely destroy the door of his office again.
Before the secretary opened the door, Sam paused for a moment to catch his breath. Once he was ready, Sam nodded at the secretary, like a gesture that said "open the door". The secretary nodded slowly, then slowly her hand reached the doorknob and opened it with a tense feeling.
Sam walked in, his eyes combing through the room and stopping at the figure of the old man standing staring out the window.
She came alone?, did she know that I kissed her granddaughter in the hospital earlier? Looks like I should be ready to be hit by a stick. Sam tried to guess.
It was not Darma that he was afraid of, but rather fearing his words. Afraid of being told to separate or stay away from Ryu again.
"Good morning Mr. Darma" said Sam after entering his room, Darma turned to Sam with a firm look as usual. Sam allows Darma to sit on the sofa, they look at each other.
"What wind is there that Mr. Darma leaves the throne, and comes to my small company?" Sam smiled concealing a sense of question marks and alertness. Who knew that old stick was flying straight towards his face right?.
"You're too low on young people" Sahut Darma later said. "I want to make a pact with you" Darma's gaze turned livid.
"covenant? Hemhs. I doubt"
"What do you mean?!"
"As usual, you made the deal, but later you reneged too. Mr. Darma" Sam stared intently.
Darma stared silently at Sam inside, he knew. Sam was disappointed in his attitude. "Sam, I'm old, I'm no longer messing with my words"
"Hemhs. Did ya? Then just get to the point, Mr. Darma"
Darma immediately placed a blue file on the table, right in front of Sam. Sam narrowed his brows, briefly glanced towards the file and then looked back at Darma. "Open up" Darma.
Then Sam opened and read the contents of the file, his face looked serious, he also did not relax the wrinkles on his eyebrows. After reading carefully, Sam again closed the file.
"What does this mean? Why are you showing it to me?" Sam threw the file back on the table.
"I want you to keep it. Promise me you'll keep and keep the file like you're looking after my granddaughter" Darma stared intently at Sam.
"Hahaha" Sam laughed amusedly, making Darma frown. "You told me to stay away from Riyu, but you told me to look after her as well. And this file? I really don't understand what's in your head Old Grandpa"
Darma let out a long sigh, his gaze turning straight to his left. Sam caught from the implied expression, sadness, pressure, despair, Darma who was in front of him like not the Darma he had known all along.
What is this really about. Sam murmured in his heart.
"I can't tell you Sam yet, promise me you'll keep the file. Do not fall into the hands of the wrong person, and "darma's voice sounds shaky. "I'm putting Ryu on you" Darma immediately stepped out of his seat, stepping out of Sam's room.
"What do you really want Grandpa Darma! Why do you plan so hard? Momentarily telling me to stay away from Riyu, now you've changed again telling me to protect Ryu. You want to play me?!" sam's voice filled the ceiling of the room.
Darma's footsteps stopped, he silently pecked at where he stood now.
"I purposely scolded you, I purposely told you to stay away from her."
"What's your purpose in doing all that?!"
"Because I want to give false information to the spy who's lurking, Sam! I want them to hear that I don't approve of you! Let them think I hate you! That way, they won't suspect that I'm leaving the diamond file to you!" darma.
Darma turned to look at Sam with a crimson face. "My company is under threat now, and if I die tomorrow, at least I'm calm about giving you the diamond mine file" Darma said in a lower voice.
Sam gasped at the clarity from Darma, he only realized that his attitude had been there was a reason behind it. Sam feels guilty for misunderstanding Darma.
"Grandfather, you're the strongest man in town, aren't you? Why are you even desperate like this?! Give all your strength to fight them!"
"I'll try. But even to this second I have not found out who the traitor is. Even I was suspicious of my confidants" Darma said shaking as she shifted her gaze.
"You mean, Bayu?" ask Sam.
Darma simply replied with his gaze. "Then what about me? You just handed me the file!"
"Because I trust you" said Darma straightforwardly looking at Sam closely. After that, Darma turned around and walked out of Sam's room.
Sam sat back on his couch, long enough he looked at the file that Darma had given him. It turned out that the old man was facing a difficult problem. But who is his enemy? Until it can make Darma so anxious, can not even investigate and suspect the closest people.
Sam thought hard, still quietly leaning on his sofa chair. Is Noval the fucker involved in this case? But he's proven to have done nothing at Grandpa Darma's house. Is it possible that Bayu betrayed her?! All this time hasn't he been a shadow of Grandfather Darma for a long time? It was even behind him from Mr. Galuh was still a child.
Sam struggled long enough with his own thoughts. I don't know what makes a jerk, Sam immediately told Aji to enter his room.
"What's the boss? Did Mr Darma hit you?" Aji was anxious after coming to see Sam.
"It wasn't Darma who hit me, it was you who hit me. Come fast!"
"What?" Aji doesn't understand on what basis Sam asks her to hit him.
"Just do it! Hit me now!" Jerky Sam.
"But Boss."
"Hurry up!" Snapped Sam harder. Buukk. Sontak Aji reflex directly hit Sam's face. He got up again and stood straight in front of Aji.
"Again!" said Sam.
"What's? Boss you... " Aji really doesn't understand why Sam is doing this kind of crazy thing.
"Boss!" Aji immediately asked Sam to wake up.
"Arrhh, you son of a bitch! Why hit so hard! You did it on purpose!" he told Aji.
Didn't you tell me to hit you yourself? Substantial... "Sorry boss" just answer it, rather than running later. Aji told Sam to sit on the couch.
"You see, I want people to think that it was Darmalah who hit me because I teased her granddaughter. Spread this news, you understand" Sam said staring coldly.
"Boss are you crazy? You slander Mr. Darma can runyam... "
"Just do the task I told Aji, I don't want to repeat my words anymore!"
"Good Boss" obeyed. Aji was really confused by Sam's behavior this time. But, he understood, if Sam was acting crazy like this there must be a reason.
After wiping the blood coming from the tip of his lips, Sam took the file and hurried away. "Aji, we're leaving. I have business to do"
"Good Boss" Aji replied briefly without saying much, whereas in his heart, he was curious. But he hasn't dared to ask much, shut up, and follow Sam behind his back.
As Sam walked out of the room, the secretary came straight to him. He was worried that something might happen to Sam, because Mr. Darma came out of his room with an angry face. The secretary was surprised to see Sam's battered face, "What happened? Did Mr Darma hit Mr Sam again?" In the heart of the secretary wondered.
"Sekertaris, reset my schedule. Cancel all events and meetings today!" sam said to the secretary who walked side by side behind his back.
"Okay sir" said the secretary bowing his body, without asking much. After Sam and Aji disappeared from the sight of his eyes, the secretary rushed to carry out his duties.

The next day...
Sam's engineering and plans go really smoothly, the gossip about Darma hitting Sam in his office reaches Ryu's ears. Having not been in the office for a long time, upon arrival there, Ryu immediately got the report from his assistant. After listening to the chronology from the mouth of her assistant, Riyu rushed to meet Darma in her office.
"Good morning Miss Riyu" Darma's secretary kindly welcomed her arrival.
"Morning. Is Grandpa around?"
"He's in his room as usual, miss"
Darma's secretary escorts Riyu to the front of Darma's room. During the trip they just kept quiet, seeing Miss Riyu's sour expression, the secretary did not dare to ask much.
"Please Miss" the secretary extended her hand to let Riyu in.
After the door was opened, Riyu immediately entered to meet Darma who seemed to be chatting with Bayu.
"Grandfather, I want to talk"
Darma turned towards her grandson who was already standing straight looking at her. Darma knows, Riyu came to definitely want to reprimand him because of the rumors. Darma waves at Bayu, as a gesture that he must leave his room. Darma's signal was immediately captured by Bayu, he bent his body, then closed the door tightly.
Now. The silent room only had Darma and Riyu. "Grandfather why did you hit Sam? What harm?" riyu asked annoyed.
"You just arrived, sit down first" replied Darma casually.
Riyu directly slammed her body on the sofa, right next to Darma. "All right, now explain it to me"
"Explain what?" Darma looked at Riyu in wonder.
"About why grandpa hit Sam! What harm? Was it because he kissed me in the hospital that time? It must have been a grandfather spy who reported it to you, right? And you came straight to Sam and hit him!"
"What?! You saying? Sam kissed you in the hospital?!" Darma was really surprised.
Seeing Darma's reaction being so shocked, Riyu instantly covered her mouth with a hand. So, did Grandpa not know about that? Die me. Mumbled Riyu in the heart.
"Ehem. Just answer me, Cake, why did you hit Sam?!" riyu said to divert the conversation, even though she herself was embarrassed by the slip-up just now.
"Grandfather didn't hit him" Darma shook his head, putting on a face that really didn't know anything.
"Grandpa don't lie to Riyu!" riyu said making sure to look carefully.
Darma nods, assuring Ryu that he did not beat up Sam. "Do you trust that little boy more than Grandpa?"
"But. But people say Sam's face was battered after Grandpa approached him at the office yesterday." Riyu was still with her stance.
"It turns out that rancid kid has a sneaky idea too huh! Hitting his own face and using his grandfather's name for his mistake" Darma chuckled.
"What?!" Ryu did not believe. Why was Sam so crazy that he hit him in the face. If grandfather is honest, then what does it mean to slander grandfather like this?! Ryu clenched his hand.
"Then let me count with him cake! How dare he slander you and defame you!" riyu said furiously, she got up from her seat, but Darma pulled her hand until Riyu sat down again at the original spot.
"What's the cake? Why are you holding me back?! Even though I love Sam, I won't let him hurt you this way!" annoyed.
Darma laughed lightly, he patted the back of Riyu's hand lovingly. "Sam, don't hurt grandpa. Instead he helped Grandpa" Darma smiled.
While Riyu still did not understand, what helped? Didn't it make Darma's name bad in people's eyes?
Not wanting her granddaughter to misunderstand, Darma tells her her true purpose. Want to know how, ready not to be ready, Riyu must know everything. Darma tells him that his company is on the verge of collapse.
"What?! No way!" riyu gasped at Darma's explanation. Didn't expect that all this time his grandfather hid such a heavy problem.
"Riyu, yesterday Grandpa accidentally met Sam into his office. While Sam deliberately made his face battered and accused grandfather of hitting it for a news diversion"
Riyu began to understand, but she also started to tremble, her heart wondering what kind of enemy could make Darma collapse like this.
"Riyu, no matter what happens you must not give up or fall. If tomorrow I'm not there, stand firm with Sam. Grandpa believes he'll be able to protect and help you. Riyu, don't discuss anything including this matter outside. Even the walls of my residence have betrayed me, you can keep this a secret right?" Darma patted Riyu's shoulder.
While Riyu's face began to be eloquent from hearing Darma's statement, her eyes were already watery now. "Grandfather. We stand together okay, we will solve this problem together cake" said Riyu trembling.
"Grandfather, you'll stay with us. Me and Sam will try to help grandfather, Riyu promises cake" Ryu grabbed Darma, hugging him tightly.
Darma just nodded, he did not want to make Riyu worry any more. Although his heart was filled with doubt, but at least there was a sense of Peace accompanying him.
