☜☆☞

PT. GAD this morning looks nothing like it used to. When hearing that Mr. Bayu Ahmad Dirgantara will soon retire from the company, some employees are busy forming several teams. Not a working team but a social team. Even team management is currently being preoccupied with something unusual. They formed a circle and began to rub with a slightly whispering voice so as not to be heard by the company officials who happened to pass through their room.

“Listen-heard Mr Gilang will hold full power of PT GAD company in Jakarta and mr Kelvin will soon run the company in Bandung?”

A young woman with a serious tone began to gossip about the news of birds that began to spread in the Central Company. While some people who surround it are just a sign of a nod.

“Listen-with mr. Gilang also who will hold existing subsidiaries abroad and outside the city, while mr. Kelvin is trusted to hold existing subsidiaries in Bandung and Surabaya.” A man in a black tie did not want to lose to his perception.

Some people seem to be listening well. It is only natural that Mr. Bayu to make such a decision. His age has been further, surely he also wants to enjoy his old age by relaxing with his wife and playing with his grandchildren. Especially now that his two sons have been able to lead the company well. Yes, although his second son is just learning but seeing Kelvin's determination, they believe that Kelvin will one day be as successful as his brother.

*Ehemm...” a deheman comes from a man known as a personal assistant of the CEO of PT GAD standing not far from a group of employees who are gossiping.

Suddenly the employees who were huddling immediately disperse and return to their respective desks. They were horrified to see Radit's grim-looking face.

“Are you guys paid just to huddle while socializing?” cetus Radit with a firm voice.

“Sorry sir..?” the simultaneous approval of the management team only made Radit and Heru shake their heads.

“For now you can get away, but next time there will be no tolerance at all!” radit once again.

He walked accompanied by Heru to a special elevator to the CEO's room.

Team management employees take a deep breath and then exhale it. They were a little relieved that they did not get a direct dismissal letter from the Assistant.

While Radit and Heru, now both are on the floor where the CEO room is located. There is a special news that they must immediately convey to Mr. Gilang.

Tok.dok... Radit knocks on the door that says “CEO” room

“Log in!!” yell at someone who is inside.

Radit and Heru opened the door handle. It looks like Gilang is struggling with some files that have been piled up on the table. Do not ask what the appearance of the boss is like. It was like someone working overtime without any rest.

“Good morning Sir,” greet Radit and Heru bebarengan.

“Again, how did you work?” sahut Gilang without further ado.

“Everything went well Sir and we have managed to find the whereabouts of that woman.” Radit walked over to Gilang and handed him a brown map.

He received the map and opened it. There are several files and photographs of a middle-aged woman who he believes is his mother-in-law.

“So right the woman who has helped us save Pearl and Elvina from the kidnapping done by Rehan is none other than my real mother-in-law?” Gilang came to his conclusion after looking at the evidence that was within his grasp.

“True Tuan, and currently he is also in a village located not far from the border of Jakarta and Bandung.” Radit returned the results of his investigation.

Crickling. He was satisfied with the results of the investigation conducted by Radit and Heru.

“There is more information you want to convey?”

Radit and Heru looked at each other. They are doubtful about the information they want to convey.

“What's up?” Gilang can catch the strange gelagat of two of his confidants.

“Master, your mother-in-law is currently living with her other daughter,” Radit as if hesitant to continue her words.

“Other princess?” Gilang knitted his two eyebrows.

“True Sir, and the other princess is none other than Miss Clarissa.”

Gilang did look a little surprised but he tried to stay calm. Then Gilang asked Radit to tell him the whole story.

Radit finally told me about the results of the investigation during the. The last week. Not only about the truth about the mother of pearls. But Radit also discovered the existence of Clarissa who already seemed much different. It seems that the woman is being committed to becoming a better person.

Gilang understood. His heart was quite relieved to hear of the change of a Clarissa. At least the woman would not be a safety threat to his wife.

“And it seems that during this one week, your sister is also being intensively trying to get close to Miss Clarissa.”

Radit's last statement shocked Gilang. Kelvin did tell me about his encounter with Clarissa which coincidentally. But Kelvin did not tell me anything about the changes Clarissa had undergone and about her intentions of wanting to get back to her.

“Kelvin is really brash! She could use her brother for her own sake!” pissed Gilang.

“I am here busy taking care of all his work and forced to neglect my wife and children, while he is engrossed in pursuing his old love!” grumbling Gilang that can be heard directly by Radit and Heru.

“Means that you ignored Miss Pearl not because of the problem about the new servant who has been sassy against you?” Heru who was originally just silent, finally raised his voice.

“Means?” Gilang doesn't understand.

Heru explained that Laras often saw the state of Pearl that looks gloomy after the incident that night, where the figure of a servant named Sri who openly dared to tease his master. Pearl felt ignored by Gilang, that's why he always grieved and confined himself in the room. Even sometimes to forget his routine in pumping ASI for his children. Lucky stock of ASI is still a lot so that the twins do not go hungry. But it still affects children. Perhaps arguably because the bond of the bathin is so strong that they can feel the sadness of their mommy.

Gilang regretted, it turns out that his busyness in the office for one week had an impact on Pearls and children. He always left early in the morning and came home late at night without giving any news to his wife. Jobs that accumulate due to the papi who suddenly retired from the company. Radit and Heru were already assigned to investigate the case of the whereabouts of her in-laws. And plus Kelvin who suddenly asked for leave, for the reason that there is an important thing that he must do alone without being able to be represented by others. Has succeeded in making Gilang full time for work. Even Gilang was forced to work overtime and sometimes inevitably had to bring his work home.

Gilang did not think that the result of this attitude was sadness from his wife. Gilang is very sorry. He promised to make amends for all his mistakes. After all, starting the day, both Kelvin and Radit have returned to work. So at least there will be people who can help ease the burden of his work.

Gilang can return like the beginning, devoting his time on the sidelines of busyness for his small family.

And Heru could breathe with relief. At least after this beloved of his heart will no longer be sad to think of his mistress who lately looks moody.

Radit who saw the reaction of the two men could only stroke the chest. His single soul seemed to thrash, sometimes he also wanted to feel sincere love from a woman. But his vows have hindered any desire to have a life partner.

“If he was still there, maybe we've been living happily now.” Radit. His chest seemed suddenly claustrophobic when he remembered the past that he considered so dark.

☜☆☞

Kelvin's heart is flowering as many teenagers who are in love. He felt happy because all his efforts in approaching Clarissa turned out to be fruitful. The woman no longer tried to avoid him. Even Clarissa also had no hesitation in replying to messages with him. They are getting closer, even if they are just friends.

Kelvin believes that one day Clarissa's heart will open for him. It only takes time for the woman to be able to expel the bad memories that surround her heart and mind at this time.

Clarissa does not believe in sincere love. For him the man who approaches him only wants satisfaction from his body. Only Gilang has ever given genuine love. But because of Clarissa's own stupidity, finally love was released and moved to another heart.

Clarissa regrets it, but there's power. Rice has become a porridge. He tried to take back his love. But bad luck hit the woman. Clarissa has to get into the iron cell. And since then, Clarissa prefers to close herself with things related to feelings. He no longer wants to be in a relationship with any man, including Kelvin.

But Kelvin's not his name if he just gives up. Kelvin was at all costs trying to get close to the woman. Slowly but surely, Kelvin was able to melt Clarissa's heart little by little. Yes, although still only a friend, but at least Clarissa would accept his presence. Unlike at the beginning of the encounter, Clarissa always tried to avoid and stay away from him. Kelvin smiled to himself when he should remember that. Strange but it is love.

Kelvin himself did not expect if he could fall in love to that deep in women. He used to hate Clarissa because she had damaged the good relationship between him and his sister. But after living life together under one roof for a few months, there was another feeling that he could hardly describe as bursting into his heart. Kelvin tried to deny that it was a feeling of love. He stayed away and kept away hoping the feeling would fade. But it's still the opposite. The feeling of wanting to always be next to Clarissa grew stronger. Kelvin can't hold back. He wants to fight for his love. It's just that at the end of the story, Clarissa had crushed back that sense. Only anger remained.

That was, different from today. Clarissa has become a better person. Kelvin's anger went somewhere. And that love must slowly re-enter the recesses of his heart. Kelvin doesn't want to fail again. He should be able to get the love that once went from him. Kelvin is convinced that Clarissa was destined for him.

“Hmmm..”

“Kak-kak Gilang's..” Kelvin stuttered to see the presence of his brother who was already sitting on the sofa of his study.

“When did you come here? Why didn't I see it?” bathin Kelvin cursed his own stupidity.

“It's done daydreaming?” sindir Gilang's

“Magging? I'm not daydreaming,” Kelvin scratched his head that didn't itch.

“No daydreaming?” Gilang knitted his two eyebrows.

“If it's true not to daydream why can't you hear when I knock on the door and not even see when I enter your room?”

Kelvin just whined, not knowing what else to say. His sister was right, he was too busy imagining the face of his heart.

“Have I known what you've been doing for the past week,” said Gilang made Kelvin flabbergasted.

“Mak-mak-sud ka-kak” Kelvin staggered.

“Clarissa is the reason you took a sudden leave?” silang

“Eh..it...” Kelvin said nothing.

“I don't care if you really love her, after all she has changed a lot.” Gilang gave his blessing.

“Kak Gilang know where Clarissa has changed so much? Does brother still like to spy on him?” kelvin's out of curiosity.

“You think I'm out of work until I have to spy on that woman!” tukas Gilang's.

“I was investigating the whereabouts of my real mother-in-law and it turns out that now she lives together one house with that woman.” Gilang.

Kelvin understood without having to hear the details of his brother. He also knew that the woman who once claimed to be the mother of Clarissa was in fact not the biological mother. The woman is none other than the twin of the mother of Pearl and Clarissa.

“I'm sorry for keeping this a secret from my sister? I just don't want them to choose to leave again after knowing their hiding place.”

Gilang. Clarissa must have been afraid of the threat at that time. But actually it was just a bluff. Gilang just doesn't want Clarissa to interfere with his wife's safety alone.

“Tell him, I don't care if he wants to meet Pearl or Azka! But for his mother, please not now because I have not told my wife the truth!”

Kelvin just nodded again. Her heart was glad that her brother was willing to be kind enough to forgive Clarissa.

“Did mom and papi know you were approaching Clarissa?” ask Gilang suddenly.

Kelvin shook his head slowly. “Not yet, but I promise I'll let them know if Clarissa has really accepted my love.”

“Better you tell me the real situation before they hear from the other party!” Gilang gave advice.

Kelvin nodded in understanding. Both of his parents are not typical people who like to judge someone from their past. But they will accept people who want to change themselves for the better.

“I'll reconsider.” Breakaway Kelvin.
