Mr. Stegen: A Man with a Hidden Identity

Finding Love

The private jet carrying Ludwig flew to Austria, having landed seamlessly at Innsbruck Airport. From there, Ludwig, accompanied by Dietmar and Niklas, boarded a car prepared by Niklas before they left.

Niklas, who had lived in Austria during his escape, followed Louis. He has some acquaintances there. That, it turned out to be very helpful for one of Ludwig's confidants. 

About forty-four minutes, the time taken from Innsbruck Airport to arrive in Tyrol. Niklas has also been looking into the whereabouts of Lilia, who lives with Manfred. So, they go straight there. 

During the trip, Ludwig did not say much. He just propped up his chin while looking outside, at the road they were going through. To be honest, the copper-haired handsome man was feeling an overwhelming unease. For some reason, he became nervous at the thought of meeting Lilia again, after several months had passed. 

The black SUV car that Ludwig was riding along with his two men, entered the asphalt road that can only be passed by one vehicle. The car continued to drive, until it stopped a few meters from a white-painted house with a beautiful mountain setting. Impatiently waiting for the door to open first, Ludwig went straight out. He tidied up the neatly folded sleeves of the shirt, while standing up and circulating his gaze without taking off the sunglasses he was wearing. 

Ludwig's attention was immediately locked on the copper-haired figure, who was trying to hook the rope of the hanging pot. The man in the white shirt, stepped dashingly near the woman. The position of the woman who turned her back to Ludwig, made her unaware of the presence of others there. 

“Let me help,” said Ludwig as he grabbed the pot rope. Very easily, he hung it on a nail. Ludwig stood gallantly, behind the silent woman. “Are you the woman I'm looking for, Miss?” ask Ludwig. 

Instantly, the woman who was none other than Lilia immediately turned around. Without answering the question that Ludwig asked, Lilia immediately rushed into the arms of the man in the white shirt. “I miss you so much,” said Lilia Lirih. His hands were tightly wrapped around Ludwig's neck. Lilia did not care, even though she had to tiptoe for quite a long time. “Yes, God. I can't believe this,” said the woman, now twenty-four. 

“I also miss you so much,” reply Ludwig. He tightly hugged Lilia's slender body, as if not wanting to let go of the woman for the umpteenth time. 

“You smell once, Ludwig.” Lilia laughed softly, even while shedding tears. 

“You always look beautiful, Darling.” Ludwig unravels the embrace. He looked at Lilia's innocent face. The man stroked gently the reddish-white cheeks, the woman he had so desperately longed for. Regardless of Dietmar and Niklas having been watching unusual scenes from their boss, Ludwig kisses Lilia for a while. 

“Oh ...” Niklas folded both hands, while leaning against the side body of the car. So too with Dietmar. 

“Do you think Mr Ludwig has changed a lot?” dietmar asked, taking a quick glance at Niklas. 

“The savage monster who has found love. He turned into a normal human again. You know that fairy tale, man?” Niklas nudged Dietmar's arm. 

“Gosh. What the fuck?” Dietmar shook his head in disbelief. 

Meanwhile, Ludwig and Lilia had already stopped kissing. However, they were still standing face to face at a very close distance. 

“I'll take you to Germany. There is something we have to do there,” Ludwig said. 

“What is it?” ask Lilia curiously. 

“Later too you will know,” replied Ludwig. A smile was on his handsome face. “Where is Mr Manfred?” ask Ludwig then. 

Lilia had not been able to continue her words, there was the voice of a man who was none other than Manfred. He just got back from somewhere. The man tore a bag containing medical equipment in his right hand. “There was a guest apparently,” said the man. He came from the other direction, so he didn't go through Dietmar and Niklas. 

Ludwig and Lilia looked at each other. Ludwig took off the sunglasses he was still wearing, while dealing directly with Manfred. “How are you, Mister?” supa Ludwig tried to look friendly. Ludwig is Ludwig. She couldn't look sweet, other than Lilia. 

“Ludwig Stegen?” Manfred squinted his eyes. 

“Yes. It's me,” Ludwig replied confidently. “The government has revoked the fugitive status they pinned on my name. Now, I'm a free man. I deliberately came here to pick up Lilia,” explained the man sure. 

Manfred did not immediately respond. He turned his attention to Lilia who looked cramped. Manfred had never seen the young woman as happy as she was today, in the past few months.

As someone who loved Lilia very much, the veterinarian could not resist Ludwig's wishes. Manfred stepped in front of his best friend's daughter. She cupped Lilia's pretty face. “You want to come with him?” asked the middle-aged man gently. 

“Iya, Uncle. Hopefully this time you will allow me,” replied Lilia expectantly. 

Manfred smiled gently. “I will definitely be very lonely,” reply the man. He hugged Lilia, like a father to his daughter. “I just want you to be happy, son. That way, I won't feel guilty towards your late father.” Manfred kissed Lilia softly.

“Thank you, Uncle.” Lilia tightly hugged the man who had become her third father. All this time, Manfred has been very kind. However, Lilia's happiness was near Ludwig's. 

A sweet smile continued to develop in the beautiful face of Lilia, when she was already in the private jet owned by Ludwig. He was so amazed, with the interior and everything that was in the air transportation. This was his first experience, going to Germany on a private jet. 

“The government returned all my assets. Including this plane,” said Ludwig, when he saw the look on Lilia's face. 

“I'm so glad to hear it,” said Lilia gently. “Having a plane or not makes no difference to me. I still love you.” Lilia smiled as she touched Ludwig's cheek, then stroked him feelingly. 

Ludwig exhaled deeply. The man closed his eyes, in order to absorb the loving touch that Lilia gave him. Ludwig is not a melancholy man, let alone a romantic. However, his heart would instantly fall and not wrinkle, when faced with the gentleness of a woman like Lilia. It indicates that there is still a sense of love, in the handsome man. 

“We will pass the fast flight this time. I can't wait to get to Berlin,” Ludwig whispered. He clasped Lilia's hand tightly, then kissed her deeply. 

Not long after, the plane they were traveling on had landed smoothly at one of the airports in the city of Berlin. They then continued their journey, using a vehicle to Ludwig's luxury apartment. The new apartment was occupied for a few days again, after a long time abandoned. 

Lilia was again amazed by the beauty, as well as how luxurious Ludwig lived. The beautiful woman stood by the glass window and looked outside. From there, he seemed to be able to see the entire area of Berlin City. “Very good,” muttered Lilia accompanied by a look of admiration. 

“Welcome to Berlin, Ratuku. This will be your home,” whispered Ludwig while hugging Lilia from behind. His desire is no longer stifled. Ludwig didn't want to wait long. He directly carried Lilia's body towards his room.
