Marleen hides when Lia passes by her, walking in haste towards the front door followed by Rendra frantically chasing after her sister.
"Lia, wait!"
The girl looked at Rendra who was unaware of her existence with a sad look. The man had just said something he did not suspect. Some confessions that made her shed tears.
In between those cold nights, Lia stood at the door of the spacious room that contained all the important data of the GN Group with tears melting on her cheeks. Smelling a pungent kerosene smell throughout the room, he stared at the tinkler in his hand with empty eyes. His resolve is round. He will not back down again. This was the only way to eliminate the grudges piled up in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm just asking for ransom for what you took from me, Dad."
His hand just moved, lit the bat and threw him into the room. The blaze immediately burned all the contents of the room that had been spilled with kerosene.
The licking heat and the bright color of the flame were clearly printed on the retina of his eyes. Lia was satisfied. His father deserved this. Without those data, the GN Group would self-destruct. Without all of that, GN Group is nothing. His lips revealed a smile full of satisfaction. It breezed away with the dense smoke that spread out.
When the smoke touched the fire alarm panels on the ceiling of the hallway, a loud noise that echoed throughout the building was heard. Bewildered the several guards who were resting at their respective guard posts.
"The fire!!" shouted the security guard at the post when he saw one of the rooms in the main building emit smoke. The window glass broke and showed a scene of fierce flaming tongues. There was panic in the middle of the night.
Lia sauntered quietly out of the building without the panicked security guards noticing and disappeared in the darkness of the night.
The news arrived quickly in the ears of Matthew Fernandez. The middle-aged man was enjoying champagne as a celebration of the success of his plan when the phone in his study rang. He never thought the sudden call in the middle of the night would be surprising because he was in an unusually happy mood.
"What's wrong?" he said relax and then sip his champagne. His joyous roar slowly turned dumbfounded then deathly pale. "No way, no!"
A second later the handle of the phone he threw and hung just left by the owner who ran away from the fog to leave the room.
The man was surprised to see smoke billowing from the GN Group building. Even from a distance the terrible sight of the fire was already visible. Dozens of firefighters have been tasked with subduing the blaze but it has yet to bear fruit. Someone seemed to really want to burn down the entire building.
Rendra had already arrived there first. He immediately approached his father. President GN got out of the car with his whole body squeezed. His eyes continued to be fixed on the flames that began to spread throughout the building.
"What are these officers doing? why haven't you put out the fire yet!" The GN president shouted at Rendra.
"They've tried. Be patient." The man tried to calm his father.
"Patience? You're asking me to be patient? When something that's been hard-fought disappears you tell me to be patient?"
Both the eyes of the GN President glared at him. Rendra clenched his lips tightly.he could not avenge his father's anger. At a time like this any words he spoke would make the man angry.
"Dad!" Rendra frantically restrained his father who was about to break through the police cordon that was securing the area. "What are you doing?!"
"I have to log in, a lot of important data is stored there."
"Is important data more valuable than life?" Rendra had to yell at his father. "For the time being shut up and wait until the officer successfully extinguishes the fire.“
GN's president was hit. In his eyes was how great the loss he would face. All the transactions he has done will fail and worst of all, GN Group will be destroyed.
There is actually more worried about Rendra than the burning of the main office building of GN Group. His sister. Since he disappeared a few hours ago he has not found his sister anywhere. He was afraid that this incident had something to do with Lia. He only hoped that when the officers managed to put out the fire, Lia was not found inside there in a lifeless condition. Oh, my God, don't let that happen.
Therefore, Rendra chose not to say anything about Lia's disappearance.
Mahendra looked at his son with pity. Her little heart was sad to see Azri helpless like this. He blames himself for what happened to Azri. Had he been stronger against tyrannical tyranny like Matthew this would not have happened. However, the rice had already become porridge. There was nothing to do but wait.he only hoped that his son could soon be human. He looked up when he heard the sound of someone entering the room.
"Have you found Widya Lovarza's whereabouts?" he asked a man in a black suit, the man he told to look for his missing son-in-law. The man bowed politely.
"No, Mister. Your daughter-in-law turned out to be smart enough to hide. We need a little time to find him."
The middle-aged man exhaled a heavy breath. "alright. I get it." Of course he would not choose Widya to be his daughter-in-law if the girl was not smart. He was only worried about his condition. However, the girl was pregnant.
"But sir, I bring you some warm news. It's about GN Group."
"What?"
"GN Group's headquarters burned down tonight." Mahendra's head immediately spun towards the person while his mouth shrieked in surprise. The man nodded politely.
"You can see the news on television."
Mahendra immediately snatched the TV remote and turned on the plasma TV located in the waiting room. He was looking for a TV channel that was airing news shows. Once found, it happened that the news anchor was explaining the chronology of the great fire that hit the headquarters of the giant GN Group. He was stunned to see it.
On the screen, it shows how terrible the flame devours a building that is famous for its security level equivalent to where the president lives.
["Fire officials were still trying to put out the fire when this news was taken down. Police are investigating the perpetrator of this fire because allegedly, the fire was ignited by someone after previously spreading kerosene at the scene.."]
The screen now shows the CEO of GN Group and his son, Rendra Fernandez staring at the building. The main leader, Matthew Fernandez, looked deathly pale. It was clearly printed on his face just how great of a loss he would get due to this fire.
For some reason, Mahendra was happy to see that expression. Not that he is happy above the suffering of others, but if the one who experiences it is the cruel man Matthew Fernandez, then that is the exception.
"Lim," called him to the man he was following. The man named Lim approached obediently.
"Yes, sir."
"Execute the plan I've told you before."
"Ready, Sir." Lim bowed respectfully and then resigned himself from before his Master.
Mahendra breathed a sigh of relief. He never felt this slap when he heard bad news. However, the disaster experienced by GN Group signaled a revival for Pradipta Group.
"You see Matthew Fernandez, this is the reward you receive for all your cunning all along." he grinned and then walked back into his son's ward.
he looked at Azri who was still asleep. Approaching him with limping steps. The wound on his leg was almost healed, but it was the age factor that made the pain still felt. He smiled while holding Azri's hand.
"Wake up son, you heard earlier, GN Group has fallen. It's time for you to fight."
Azri. The absence of a reaction from Azri made Mahendra's happiness could not overflow perfectly. Azri must wake up and fight with him to take back the Pradipta Group. She decided to go to her ward after the nurse told her she had to go back to bed.
If Mahendra had not left Azri, he would have witnessed how Azri's hand moved, responding to his words.
