Paper Dove

SECRET 2

I put Jeni on my bed. She fell asleep without moving, I covered her body with a blanket. I noticed her sweet face, the tear marks were still imprinted on both her cheeks. I walked towards the bathroom taking a small towel and wet it with warm water. I washed Jeni's face slowly.

“ What are you doing in that place thief?”, I looked at his curious face.

My phone rang, I quickly picked up the phone. Doni spoke across the phone, without answering I turned off the phone. I looked at Jeni and said quietly near her face. 

“ Thief, you are safe here. I will go briefly”, I said which of course was not responded by Jeni. She was stoned, apparently given a sedative because Jeni slept very well.

I went into the locker room and put on a shirt and jacket and walked out of the hotel room and took the elevator. When I entered my mobile phone, my sister Bella called.

“ Hello Bella what is it?”.

Bella sobbing across the phone “ Sister, please me”.

“ You why?’, I do not panic because this is a common thing. Looks like this time he ran away from home from a fight with my mother. 

“ I ran away from home and mom blocked all my cards. I now can't pay for food at restaurant X, I'm ashamed”, she cried.

“ Yes already wait there and do not go anywhere. My driver will pick you up”, I then disconnect the phone. I looked towards my driver “ Pick up Bella at restaurant X and bring her here. I'll drive myself”. 

“ Well tuan”, my driver nodded obediently. 

I got in the car and left the parking area. 

***

My car entered the club again, but it was quiet. The club was completely vacated by Doni.

A Max bodyguard picked me up.“ Welcome Mr”, he greeted me as I got out of the car. 

“ Max where?”, I asked. 

“ Mr Max is waiting for you”, said the man following me from behind. 

I walked into the club and walked up the stairs and entered a room, Max's execution-only kitchen. The light there was quite bright, I saw Doni standing in the corner of the room while Max was sitting on a chair with the skinny man kneeling in front of him. The two men who had been in the same room with Jeni were standing behind her in fear, as if they were brought back by Max. 

Doni put a chair beside Max, I sat there in silence waiting for a confession. Everyone was silent, no one spoke. 

“Oke, not me Juan. This bastard did business in my Club without my permission. I wouldn't do such a depraved thing you understand, my women here have criteria and those who are looking for a job, they have a contract. Not the woman I chose with Asal”, Max understood I was silent for waiting for her to explain this situation. 

I'm nodding. “ Explain”, I talked to that skinny guy. 

She looked terrified staring around the room “ I .. just told the girl to pay her debt”, she said timidly. 

I'm smiling cynically “ You're going to sell it right?”.  

He's downcast in fear. I took a deep breath “ Need you know, I'm not a long-suffering person. Quickly tell me what really happened?”, I spoke while taking off my jacket and handing it to Doni. 

I pick out the golf club Max provided in the room. I swung one of them, then put a glove on both my hands. 

“ Ck, quickly answer the damn. I don't want my place dirty because of your blood”, Max snapped at him. 

“ Sir, miss has a debt to me, amounting to 70 million..”, she spoke but quickly I hit her shoulder with the golf stick I was holding. My punch was not too strong but enough to knock her down. One of the men who stood a little far behind shrieked in surprise, while the other man just fell silent at what I was doing. 

“ Looks like you're less educated to be honest. I give you time, think and confess to me. If you keep telling lies then today is your last day of sin”, I look at that sharp guy named Bon. 

I sat back in my chair and looked at the two old men as if waiting. 

“ We just came to have fun”, the old man I clutched his neck spoke boldly. It seems he has the power between the two of them. “ If know the woman is yours, I won't touch her”, the man said. 

I stood up and handed the golf club to one of Max's bodyguards. I walked up to the man and smiled as if understanding. “ Yes, I know”, I said. 

“ Shh... “, I put an index finger on my lips telling Max to be quiet and of course Max was upset, he was angry that there were people who dared to trade inside his club without his permission. “ Max, everyone comes to your place for fun. Misunderstanding is bound to happen. Forgive me for being rude earlier”, I shook the hand of the bald man.

The man coughed softly not expecting my reaction, maybe he thought I would hit him with a golf stick. I laugh friendly “ I won't hit a director with a golf stick. Can't be”, I smile at him. 

“ Well I forgive you. Now let me go”, he said arrogantly.

“ Thank you for forgiving me. Please. Do I need to be delivered by max?”, I offer. Of course Max looked at me annoyed.

“ No need”, the man then left followed by the other man and his bodyguard, they walked quickly until it disappeared behind the door. 

I looked at him leaving them, the smile on my face was gone. “ Doni”, I'm calling to give an edict.

“ Yes tuan”, Doni replied obediently.

“ Crush all the old man's business down to its roots. And also his family”, my orders are cold.

“ Good tuan”, Doni replied obediently.

“ Wow this psychopath couple”, Max said cynically heard my word.

There was horror on the faces of the people in the room, especially the kneeling man. It looks like his shoulder shifted due to the blow from me earlier. 

“ So say”, I take a seat back in my chair and stare at the man while exhaling a long breath.

The man looked at me with fear. She stuttered a little “ Madam told me to sell miss to the striped-nose guy and take her picture and hand the photo to Mister. Madam gave me a certificate of a store building for Miss Jeni to come to me voluntarily”, she said again. 

I sighed, it felt like my chest was congested hearing the confession. What kind of life does Jeni actually have. 

“ You know the purpose of doing that?”, I ask again.

The man nodded quickly. “ If you know the lady did something bad, most likely the lady will be stricken from the family card and the company will fall into the hands of her half-sister”.

Max dumbfounded “ Crazy family greedy what this” is like, Max shakes his head.

I laughed hearing the purpose of Jeni's stepmother. “ This cunning woman, seems to have to be taught a lesson. Where is the land certificate?”,

The man was silent not wanting to answer, He knew if he handed the certificate then he would not get any spare money. 

I'm laughing “ You think by holding that certificate you'll earn money by selling it? You're clever. I'll buy it”, I said quickly.

The man smiled wishing “ thanks tuan”, he replied.

“ You think I'll be right to buy it?”, I laugh deadly.

The man looked at me in horror.

I turned to Max while removing my gloves “Max I just wanted the certificate. The rest is up to you ”, I'm talking towards Max.

“ Alright”, Reply Max casually. 

I stood up and walked towards the door followed by Doni behind me. I heard the man screaming in horror as Max said “ Take the pliers and pull the nails. How dare you dirty my place”. 

I walked out the door and walked down the stairs. “ Doni keep what happened today from Jeni and investigate more about her family”.

“ Well tuan”, Doni replied obediently then opened the back door of the car for me.
