It had been three days since Ara came out from inside the living room of the Tiffani residence with an annoyed face and tears. At that time Tiffani tried to get up from his lying position and chased after Ara, but because his head was dizzy, he instead fell unconscious again in the hallway leading to the outside of the house.
A very deep feeling of guilt Tiffani could not hold up to this point. Because he fainted, the focus of Rama, Gracella and his two best friends was only on him, no one chased after Ara, asking Ara to stay, let alone apologize, no one wanted to, and from that day Tiffani ordered Adam to search for the whereabouts of Ara.
Geck, tok, tok.
Tiffani's office door is knocked. He is currently in the office. The activities he was supposed to be doing were finally back to normal. It must be so, for it is impossible for him to drag on in grief and do nothing. Just staying at home made him feel very miserable. After all, the business will not go smoothly if it starts to strike.
"Come in" cried Tiffani from the armchair behind her desk.
The door leaf began to move pushed inward, and Adam appeared with a worried face that he made no attempt to hide.
"How's it?" tiffani asked, he immediately got up on his feet when he saw Adam.
Adam was silent, he continued to cross the room to the Tiffani desk.
"Nil," Adam answered, after he was right in front of Tiffani.
Tiffani was stunned, she dropped her ass back on the chair while complaining. The next second Tiffani chose to lean back and massage her temple while looking down. He doesn't know how else to find Ara. Although it had not disappeared for long, but the fact that his bodyguards no one could find Ara made him frustrated.
"I've been looking for him everywhere, but no one knows of his whereabouts. People in the district said that three days ago Ara just came to pick up her mother and sister, then just left without saying anything." Adam explained.
Tiffani, who had been looking down, raised her head to look at Adam. "Is there no other way to track it? Hem, such as credit card activity, or atmnya card transaction ... CCTV street, or maybe a dashboard camera. How about tracking his phone" said Tiffani, saying that any possible way he could find Ara.
Adam shakes. "He had no ATM card and no credit card, his cell phone was off, and there were no CCTV cameras around the district, nor were there any cars equipped with dashboard cameras."
Tiffani again complained, and this time her sigh sounded louder than before.
"Sorry, ma'am, can I ask you something?" ask Adam a few moments later.
Tiffani nodded. "Yes, just ask."
"Hem, why do you bother looking for Ara? Wouldn't it be better this way. He has acted insolently to you and Rama. If I were you, I wouldn't look for him. Let him go, better."
Tiffani let out a long sigh before she answered Adam's question.
"I don't want to add any enemies to my life, Adam. I know exactly what someone who is hurting can do. I'm afraid that one day he'll come for revenge. It doesn't matter if she hurt me, but I'm a mother, what if she hurt my son too? That's why I should apologize to him. After all, we are guilty, Om Damar has made Ara's life suffer. I can't just shut up."
Adam nodded. He understood the fear Tiffani was feeling right now. Dealing with criminals in the business world alone is scary enough for Tiffani, for what else adds to the enemy.
"But, if I may know, did you not hurt her when she asked Rama to marry her? Isn't such a thing very very unnatural, and I think it's intolerable." Adam asked again.
Tiffani smiled wryly. ”I think having a husband like Rama is a test in itself. I can't blame any woman who's interested in him. Rama's face is the main problem, he is so handsome that it makes most women forget themselves. As long as Rama doesn't like those women, it doesn't matter to me."
Adam pointed his thumb at Tiffani. ”Cool."
Tiffani laughed at the response Adam had given her. He then asked, ”By the way Om Damar has not returned from his business trip? It's been four days and there's still no news. I don't even know where he's going and what he's up to. His phone is not active."
Adam shook his head while clucking. His face looked confused and questionable just like Tiffani's.
”To be honest I don't know where Mr. Damar went. Do you think he didn't run away? It feels awkward if he just leaves and just calls the housekeeper to tell you that he is on a business trip. ” Adam started speculating, he is indeed an expert in that field .
Tiffani nodded slowly. What Adam said was quite reasonable, but it was strange that Damar did not try to defend himself. It was as if Damar had given up and admitted that he was wrong.
Tiffani took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. The thought of Damar made him sad and he suddenly felt empty. Damar is like a father to him. He did get upset at Damar, but of course he will try to understand the reason Damar committed treason if Damar tried to come to him and explain everything, it doesn't just disappear without any news.
"Is there nothing I need to do anymore, Nyoya? If not it will eventually come out now" asked Adam.
Tiffani jerks. He did not remember that Adam was still in his room.
"Ah, yes, Adam, no more. You can go" said Tiffani.
Adam bowed and immediately turned around, then stepped towards the exit. However, his steps came to a halt as Tiffani called out to him.
"Yes, ma'am, what's wrong?" adam asked, as soon as he turned his body back to be able to look at Tiffani.
"Where is Rama? I haven't seen him since this morning?" ask Tiffani.
Adam's forehead frowned upon hearing Tiffani's question. "You haven't seen him? Didn't you leave with him this morning, Madam, and didn't Rama tell you that he and Xavier were going to check the warehouse near the harbor this afternoon."
Tiffani bit the inside of her cheek. "really? How can I not remember?" Tiffani looks very confused, because she remembers not leaving with Rama this morning to the office. She hasn't seen her husband's face since he woke up.
After a moment of silence because Tiffani was busy fiddling with her thoughts, Tiffani finally shook her hands, allowing Adam to get out of her room. And after Adam was no longer in front of him, Tiffani again tried to remember the incident this morning, and strangely the incident was not pictured at all in his memory.
"This is one of the effects of my pregnancy" muttered Tiffani, putting her head on the desk, and moments later she fell asleep.

Rama sat down with Xavier in a warehouse close to the port. Both check every performance of the workers who are there. Checking the list of incoming goods and also items that come out, also check CCTV footage that is indeed once every week will be reformatted.
This time both appear relaxed, either Rama or Xavier just wearing a worn sleeveless t-shirt. They did that every time they would visit the warehouse, so that anyone who might be spying on Tiffani's house would be fooled.
(Rama)
Xavier yawned and kept his head away from the laptop screen which made his eyes ache and his head throb. After getting used to beating people, working with a laptop feels very excruciating.
"I can't go on. Just you," said Xavier, then got up and grabbed a bottle of alcohol from the top of one of the steel boxes nearby.
Rama watched Xavier who was now busy enjoying his drink while humming softly.
"Did Grace know that you still drink a lot?" ask Rama.
Xavier laughed and punched Rama on the shoulder at the same time. "That's right, Rama. Sure didn't. If Grace finds out, I could have killed her" Xavier replied, then took a sip.
"Then stop. You will know that he is trying to implement a healthy lifestyle. He wants to have a baby, Vier, and this action of yours is very unhelpful to his business,” Rama said. " Are you on drugs too? I found that several times the drugs we should have sent were reduced in number. Indeed, the hell, not to many kilometers, but in grams alone is good enough in my opinion."
Xavier clucked. "No. I don't do drugs. I'm not that depraved. Drink is enough for me, I don't even smoke. The drug problem I think I know the culprit. He's Exel, a bodyguard who's often assigned to a warehouse in the middle of the woods."
"I caught him a few times" Xavier replied, relaxing.
"And you let it go?"
Xavier. "Of course not. I beat him up, but he's already heavily addicted. I think after getting beat up he's still repeating his mistake."
Rama breathed out violently. "Why just tell me? We have to fire him. Where can we let thieves roam our warehouse. Now a little bit, long could be a lot. If it is so, Tiffani will be harmed," said Rama, who looks very upset.
Xavier shook his head, then pulled the sagging sleeve of his t-shirt. "You can't fire him."
(Xavier)
"Why not?"
"He's a fighting guy, he's very sharp at shooting, and he's very meticulous, Rama. He was the one who had been reporting all the irregularities that had occurred in the warehouse. If he comes running around to you, it means .. well, that's him." Xavier did not continue, as Exel was now running towards the two of them with a flat expression that was hard to guess.
"Master," Exel said.
The Bodyguard troupe stationed at EL 33 had been withdrawn the previous day, and Xavier immediately recruited Exel to check into the warehouse every day, a routine that was always done once every two weeks.
"Yes, what's up, Exel?" xavier asked graciously, while Rama was busy glaring at Exel.
"There is a considerable difference from the amount recorded in the report and the number of boxes in the warehouse" Exel said without further ado.
"And whose difference is?"
"FN 5.7 caliber from Belgium that we should have sent to Mexico this week." Exel answered again with a flat face without expression, like a robot controlled by his master. His speech was quick, precise, and flawless.
Rama closed the screen of his laptop, and immediately got up to his feet. Both of his feet stepped swiftly towards the exit, while his lips moved giving orders. "Gather the data and hand it over to me, then find out when the last time a ship came in and out."
"I've done it, sir." Exel bass sounds are heard.
(Axhel)
Rama suddenly stopped his steps making Xavier hit Rama's back quite hard.
"Damn, Rama. Tell me it'll stop." Xavier nags, but Rama pays no heed to Xavier's nagging.
"Then, what's the result?" ask Rama.
"The container ship that entered the port about eight days ago, and the ship entered with permission from Mr. Damar."
Both Rama and Xavier immediately sighed while cursing when they heard the name Damar. Both of them realized that they were too soft to deal with the cunning and slippery Damar like an eel, and in the end again they were affected by their own attitude.
"What should I do, sir?" ask Axel.
Rama and Xavier looked at each other, then both said, ”Nothing."
Axel nodded, then without saying another word the man immediately passed from before Rama and Xavier.
"What should we do? We have to take action." Xavier broke the silence.
Hearing Xavier's suggestion, Rama was confused, because until a few nights ago Xavier still defended Damar desperately, but now Xavier instead asked Rama to do something.
"He's your uncle." said Rama.
"And I'm sorry because he's my uncle."
Rama smiled. He knows that Xavier is handing over all decisions to him now. In essence, Xavier was no longer on Damar's side. Whatever he did to catch Damar, Xavier would definitely agree.

Four o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for Tiffani to return home and rest after she spent two full hours in a restaurant with a client.
Johan, who was today assigned to accompany Tiffani followed Tiffani's steps towards the restaurant's parking lot.
Johan's presence in the restaurant certainly attracted the attention of the female servants and also customers. Besides being handsome, Johan also has a tall and filled body. Her neat appearance and cold expression on her face made Johan look even more charming.
"They're all interested in you? That's because you're so handsome" Tiffani murmured,
"Thank you, ma'am," said Johan.
"Are you still looking after Sela Lubis? And how's his father? Is Burhan Lubis still asking Sela to shoot me. If it is, just tell me, I'll act first and shoot the daughter."
Johan who heard Tiffani's words immediately pulled Tiffani's arm, making Tiffani stop and turn to face Johan.
"You guys are friends now,” Johan said.
Tiffani looked at Johan in confusion. He pulled out his wind-blown hair and covered his face. The wind outside the restaurant was strong this afternoon.
(Tiffany)
" What do you mean? Me and Sela .. ah, don't joke. That's not possible." Tiffani laughed, and jerked Johan's hand from his arm. "Sela and I are eternal enemies, where we may be friends." Tiffani continued, then stepped back to her parked car not far from where she was standing.
Johan watched Tiffani's footsteps with a thumping chest. It was not that he fell in love with Tiffani that the feeling had disappeared long ago. However, it was Tiffani's behavior that made his chest pound ungodly.
"What's wrong with her?" Johan muttered.
Seriate.
