Mama For Mikaela

TEN

At half-seven in the evening, after making sure Micah ate dinner and letting the little girl have her own time by watching the cartoon series in the living room, Segara pulled Arkana's arm towards his study. The man let Arkana sit in his chair to watch some of the videos he had cut in important sections for further analysis.

For the past three years, Segara has recruited Arkana as one of the IT teams tasked with maintaining the security of internet networks in the company in order to prevent hacking and data leakage. Segara did not officially hire Arkana, so the young man did not need to come to the office to fulfill his obligations to work and Segara would only contact him for some important things that the man would have to discuss both, he said,.

As of today, Segara contacted Arkana because he wanted the young man to take part in his efforts to uncover the truth behind a series of terror he has received in recent months. To Arkana, Segara has told several things including the fall of Papa and the young man has moved to investigate although until now still has not managed to find any clues.

"Lo said you know the teenager in this video?" Arkana turned her head to the side, slightly looking up to look at Segara who stood looming beside her.

Segara nodded. "His name is Rudi, ATR's son who works here." Segara Obviously.

"If that's good, we can make it easier to interrogate him." Arkana. Now his eyes are back to the laptop screen.

"That's not the point." Say Segara so that makes Arkana again turn the head with eyebrows that are linked.

"If this guy can tell Rudi to do this kind of thing to me, it means I can't trust anyone anymore, Ar." Obviously Segara and Arkana immediately nodded in understanding.

"Lo must be confused between wanting to keep ART lo to keep working here or not, right?" ask Arkana.

Segara nodded, accompanied by a furious breath that made Arkana grimace. She had never seen Segara this desperate other than when the man told her about Karen's death after she returned to Indonesia one week later.

"First, let's try to meet this Rudi first. We need to find out why he's taking orders from this guy to send a threat to you. Is it because of money, or is there something else." Arkana got up after closing the laptop screen in front.

"Smart-clever this guy is hiding, I'm sure we can meet him in the near future, before he acts more evil." He said he was trying to convince Segara that this problem would come to a bright spot, ceapt or slow. One pat he landed on Segara's now-declining shoulder, trying to give his brother-in-law as much strength as he could.

Arkana took the first step, leaving Segara who was now staring nanar at the picture frame on the corner side of his work desk which showed a portrait of himself and Karen and her little angel, Micah.Then after being satisfied to look at the photo, Segara also moved. He caught up with Arkana, who was now sitting next to Micah, seductively teasing her daughter by picking biscuits from a can that Micah hugged tightly.

"Om Ar, don't be nosy!" micah protests, but Arkana doesn't care at all. He was even more eager to tease Micah until finally the little girl yelled in annoyance with funny throbbing lips and then Arkana stopped after spouting a satisfied laugh.

Segara walked closer, immediately taking a sitting position on the other side of Micah. His hand moved slowly grabbing the jar of biscuits from Micah's embrace then putting it on the table. "You've eaten too many biscuits." He said it was only to get Micah to protest because, in fact, it was Arkana who had eaten most of the biscuits in the jar.

"Lo's son is very nervous." Arkana said that he was very anxious to see Micah constantly protesting against Segara because the man still did not want to give him one more piece of biscuit.

Segara just smiled in response. He then grabbed Micah's body into a sling. "Time to sleep." The whisper was slow in the boy's ear, making the little guy who was spoken to whine because he still wanted to watch his favorite cartoon series. Anyway, it's Sunday night. Usually Segara would allow Micah to watch television longer and sleep a little later than usual days. But why was her father so excited tonight to get her to bed early?

And the innocent question was answered when Segara spoke softly in the middle of his steps towards Micah's room. He said, "Daddy has a job to do tonight, so Micah has to sleep faster so Daddy and Om Ar can get the job done."

Minutes passed and the lullaby Segara sang had changed several times, but Micah was still unable to close his eyes. He could not sleep because he was not sleepy. This afternoon he slept for a long time so that now his energy is still much left. But not wanting to make the father difficult, Micah finally closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep so that his father could immediately leave his room and do the job as the man had said before.

And sure enough, not long after Micah launched his act of feigning sleep, Micah felt his bed sway a little which signified that Segara had lifted his butt from there. After a kiss landed on his forehead and a good night sentence was uttered in a soft, soft voice, Micah heard the sound of Segara's footsteps moving away.

After making sure her father was completely gone, Micah turned his sleeping position to the left, turning his back to the connecting door while his little eyes opened wide again. Micah was too small to understand what was going on with his father, but with his limited understanding, Micah hoped his presence would not make the situation even more difficult.

On the other hand, as Segara walked back to the living room to meet Arkana, he found the young man standing by the sofa, turning his back on him. In front of him, there were two people sitting side by side on the sofa. Segara furrowed his brows because there should only be one person coming. Why are there two now?

"Ar," he called slowly.

Arkana turned with both hands crossed in front of her chest. The two people sitting side by side on the sofa also turned their heads and confronted Segara timidly as the man walked closer and closer towards them.

"What's Surti doing here?" he asked one of the two people sitting on the sofa.

The one asked was silent, so Arkana had to speak up to represent the middle-aged woman.

"He wants to know his son has made the same mistake, so be sure to ask to come here. Though I've said I won't say anything about it, but this mother seems very worried about her son to beg me to be allowed to come." Clearly Arkana, just to make Segara sigh long.

"I just want to ask you some of the same things Rudi, so Bi Surti should go home now." Persuade Segara with a voice as calm as possible. He still does not know what the motive behind Rudi's actions this afternoon, so Segara did not want to involve Bi Surti because not necessarily the woman also knew about this. Segara wants to involve a little maybe people, so that the risk is also not getting bigger.

But the middle-aged woman instead shook her head so stubbornly, making Arkana look at her fiercely. Since she was very young, she had never felt how a mother protected her child, so she did not know if all mothers would act like this just to protect her baby even if they had made a mistake.

"OK, if Bi Surti wants to stay here, that's okay." Segara said in the end, only to load Arkana staring intently at him.

"But I still can't tell Bi Surti to hear our chat. So, just wait here, the three of us will be chatting in my study." Segara Final.

If so, no one can fight. Segara's dominant aura made Bi Surti speechless and Rudi immediately rose from his seat as soon as Segara turned and stepped towards the stairs followed by Arkana behind him. The 16-year-old boy turned to his mother for a while before Arkana turned and dragged him to immediately follow the steps of Segara who was too far ahead.

Arriving at his study, Segara did not immediately meet Rudi with various questions that filled his head since last afternoon. First he invited Rudi to sit opposite him, then he tinkered with the laptop and then thrust it in front of Rudi who immediately looked tense when a video that caught him throwing a glass bottle into the window of the Segara house was twisted.

"Rudi, can you explain to me what's really going on?" asked Segara in a calm voice.
