The twilight was a little cloudy. Black clouds in the sky of Jakarta. The weather has been very difficult to predict lately. Sometimes it's cloudy all day without rain. Sometimes it suddenly rained even though it was hot since morning.
It was a bit like Tommy Antasena's mood.
Ever since Pramudya got married and got what was written in their father's will, he had already lost interest in fighting again with his half-brother. However, his mother kept pushing all the time to reclaim what was supposed to be theirs.
Tommy is at a crossroads and feels confused to choose, but his mother always uses Pramudya's wife to threaten him. It happened some time ago when Freya was kidnapped, she knew her mother was the one who paid the men to harm Pramudya's wife.
If it wasn't for him stealing his mother's talk with the leader of the kidnapper's group, it might have been fatal.
Tommy deliberately tracks down the whereabouts of the men and gives instructions using an anonymous number to the bodyguard sent by Pramudya.
He himself did not know why he was encouraged to do so, but he was clearly unwilling if Pramudya's wife was hurt just because of the disagreement between them.
In addition ... actually he is planning to resign from Antasena Group. He wants to focus on raising the company he pioneered from scratch. But, the obstacle was once again her mother .. The woman was obviously not going to let her get away from Antasena Group easily.
So, should he step down and grow his own business? Or stay and fight with Pramudya forever.
The ringtone of the extension phone that was on the table broke Tommy's daydream. His secretary's voice instantly sounded as he brought the phone closer to the ear.
“Good day, Sir. Someone's looking for you downstairs.”
“Who? Have any previous appointments?” ask Tommy. As he remembered, that day he did not have a meeting or meeting with representatives of any company. He just stopped by to check the monthly report.
“No appointment yet, sir. But he said you know, his name is Yoga Pratama. Oh ... wait a minute, Mr.”
Tommy shuts up and listens to his secretary who seems to be talking to someone else who just came. His voice sounded vague, but it seemed that the one who was talking to his secretary was a woman.
“Halo, Sir. This is Miss Carissa who also wants to meet with Mr.” said the secretary. “Do you want to meet them or ..”.
Tommy cringing. What was the purpose of the two people coming to his office? Where do they know this information? The location of his office is unknown to just anyone.
“All the two are in,” Tommy's orders. What the two wanted, he could already guess. Regarding where they got the information regarding this company, he would ask directly.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary appeared with two uninvited guests who could somehow come at the same time.
“Please, Mister and Miss.” Secretary Tommy invited the two guests to sit in a chair in the middle of the room.
Yoga and Carissa nodded, then greeted Tommy who was walking towards them.
“Pardon my sudden arrival. I hope I didn't interrupt Tommy's time,” said Carissa as she smiled. He has known Tommy for a long time. Just like Pramudya, he grew up with Tommy Antasena.
Tommy just nodded at a glance. He does know Carissa, but does not feel close to her.
While Yoga Pratama .. he was not unaware of the shocking news about the man. He just doesn't count it. For him, Yoga Pratama has nothing to do with him. Even so, he also did not mind if the man wanted to propose cooperation.
Tommy shook Yoga's hand and said, “It's okay. Don't be so shy. I happen to be free. Sit.”
Carissa and Yoga sat next to each other on an elongated old gray sofa, while Tommy sat across from the two guests.
“What do you drink?” bargain secretary Tommy is still standing waiting next to them.
“Coffee, thank you,” replied Yoga.
“Mineral water only,” timpal Carissa.
“Good, please wait a minute.” The secretary rushed out and closed the door.
Inside the room, Tommy leaned back casually and observed his two guests alternately.
“What makes Mr Yoga and Miss Carissa bother to come to my small place?” tanya Tommy opened the conversation.
“Sister Tommy, I came to thank you for helping me find a place to stay while here. Aunt Dance gave me this address. Aunty said, maybe ... we can cooperate ...” Carissa answered the question first.
Tommy just commented a big smile. He looked at Carissa's face meaningfully.
“What kind of cooperation?” tanyakanya.
“Bibi says, Brother needs help to get Antasena group. The Winata family will definitely not hesitate to help Brother Tommy .. provided ... help me get back Pramudya.” Carissa smiled and slipped her hair behind her ears.
Yoga watched Carissa from the side. It seems that the woman has the same purpose as him. Good then. At least he has the support to help separate Pramudya from Freya.
Three years of living and studying abroad made him not know any news in Indonesia. He also did not know who Pramudya and Tommy Antasena were until a few days ago his men found information about Freya's marriage to Pramudya.
He tried everything, but nothing worked. Other than Freya who was still angry and did not want to talk to him, that Pramudya bastard also did not let her get close in the slightest. Really fucking.
Tommy was still leaning on the sofa casually, looking like he was considering Carissa's offer.
Before long, he straightened his back and said, “That could be considered .. depending on what kind of support the Winata Family offers.”
The knocking on the door interrupted the conversation. Shortly after, an office girl entered with a tray containing drinks in her hand. He placed two cups of coffee and a bottle of mineral water on the table carefully, then withdrew.
“Sister Tommy take it easy, I'll talk to dad ...” Carissa squinted and crossed her legs. The skirt she was wearing was slightly exposed, showing her level legs and smooth thighs.
Tommy raised his eyebrows, glanced down and slowly raised his gaze to Carissa's face, then turned his head and looked at Yoga Pratama. The young man looked handsome, quite compatible with Freya.
Somehow Tommy felt a little sorry for Pramudya. A good and innocent wife, when compared to a woman like Carissa this ... also a fairly capable rival.
