Picking Up the Past

Secretary Arjun

Secretary Arjun looked at the empty iron bars that locked him, it had been almost 5 years he had to live in that narrow space.His heart felt empty there, but his mind was worried about something.

After the arrival of Rahman some time ago to meet him, his mind worked hard erratically, the hope he still kept. His young master will return to snatch what Aliando had stolen from his master. ‘when my friends fought out there, I curled up foolishly here’ his inner self regretted his circumstances back then.

“pak Arjun, your family came to visit” said a prison warden as he opened the door to Arjun's secretary's prison.

Secretary Arjun just silently did not answer, he then got up and walked out accompanied by the prison warden.

Secretary Arjun approached his family who came that day, he looked at his wife's face, even though his wife met him there almost every week, still the longing to live together like a whole family that enveloped their hearts both.

Secretary Arjun sits in a chair in front of his entire family, Tya's mother, Rita and Aaron alternately kissing Arjun's secretary's hand.

“you are healthy mas?,” said Bu Tya when kissing her husband's hand that looks messy.

“I'm healthy baby, I'm tangled like this because I miss you” Secretary Arjun replied.

“what's more Rita, it's been more than a month I don't see it” he continued again,

“sorry dad, me and mas Aaron really busy in the office, mas Aaron also can not come to help my work” said Rita with a guilty tone.

“nothing dear, you have to work well for the person who has contributed to the life of our family” said Arjun secretary who made Tya's mother shed her tears.

“i don't want our family to be indebted again to others like our debt to Mr. Gibran mas, but now Rita instead owes a debt of gratitude to the man who has helped my life and Rita” life said Tya's mother in the tone as flat as possible.

“mom don't talk like that, Arya is good kok” said Rita calms her mother.

“do not like that Tya, Mr. Gibran has been good enough to us, he who has saved our lives first, and also Miss Naina also considers you as her own sister, she said, you shouldn't say that about Mr. Gibran, as if knowing Mr. Gibran was our fault for what happened” Arjun's secretary calmed his wife down.

“I know you, but what happened to you made my heart really hurt, I don't want to blame Mr. Gibran here, but for what happened, I really can't take it” replied Bu Tya defending himself.

Secretary Arjun took a deep breath he then moved beside Bu Tya and hugged his wife.

“do not discuss again if it only makes you sad baby, let's open the chain, I miss the same cuisine and Rita” said secretary Arjun with a relaxed tone so that the atmosphere becomes liquid.bu Tya nodded slowly, and then, he was with Rita then swiftly working together to open the bushel they brought.

While Tya and Rita prepare their food, Arjun's secretary then looks at his granddaughter whom Aaron holds in his arms.

“granddad's grandson does not miss the same grandpa” he said slowly to persuade his grandson,

“ayo dear, embraced by grandfather, Keysha kangenkan with grandpa” said Harun while coaxing his son to be carried by Arjun's secretary.

Keysha smiled to see his grandfather, his little hand moved to reach his grandfather's hand, he laughed loosely which made his white cheeks round instantly.

“aduh grandpa kangen very much with you dear,” said secretary Arjun hugged his grandson.

“dad, Arya said she wanted to meet dad” said Rita who was still preparing food at the table. The faces of secretary Arjun and mom Tya changed at once hearing Rita's words.

“meet dad?, what for?” ask secretary Arjun with a confused face.

“dia said she wants to know dad” Rita replied briefly

“no can Ta, he can not meet with your father” said bu Tya with a sharp tone that makes the atmosphere again tense.

“why can't bu?” rita asked in a confused tone.

“your mother's right baby, I don't want her to lose her trust in you if she meets dad, this father's case is very heavy son, dad is accused of embezzling company funds, he said, Arya could lose faith in you if she knew this was all”, Arjun's secretary said in a soft tone.

‘if Arjun meets with Arya, he must remember Mr. Gibran and Miss Naina again, Arjun will definitely re-think the company's problems, he said, mas Arjun can be stressed if you think about the problem again’ inner bu Tya considering how frustrated the husband was when he first entered the bars.

“Arya is good, I know for myself he financed the operation of mother first, he also loves me work, I've told him everything about our family, and he's just like Aaron's mas, open to us without paying attention to how destroyed we used to” said Rita in a soft tone, in fact she also has the same fear as her father, said Rita, but on the other hand he also could not refuse Arya's request.

“Rita, I disagree, I don't want you and Aaron to get in trouble because this is all” said Bu Tya trying to reject Rita's request.

“mommy rest easy, Arya already knows everything, and like I said earlier, she has no problem with our family like this” replied Rita with a casual tone.

“masss” says bu Tya looking towards her husband. Secretary Arjun swallowed his saliva, he understood his wife's fear, without him realizing the biggest thing his wife was afraid of was Aryan's face and eyes which reminded him of Gibran and Naina.

“just calm Tya, Rita and Aaron must have known every risk” said Arjun's secretary, holding back his worries.

Saniah looked at Irman's long face sitting in front of her in the living room of her apartment, she deliberately told her son to meet her in his apartment, Irman returned his mother's gaze with a flat gaze, and he asked her to meet her in his apartment, “what can you do to help me bring Mila home?” asked Irman flatly.

“if mom can take her home now, what do you want to do to her?,” bu Saniah full search.

“mommy take it easy, I will not mess with her” Irman replied casually.

“you'll give it to CEO Adinata's son?, is that true?” ask Saniah ma'am full of investigation.

“what Mila has told mother?, the child has a desire for Mila, I think it does not matter, even later Mila who will be addicted to it,” said Irman without burden, and a loud slap instantly lodged on his cheek.

“what are you crazy about what you say?” saniah said full of emotion.

“i took pains to keep Mila from becoming like that, now you are even as good as making her a cheap woman” continued bu Saniah can no longer stem her emotions.

“i have indeed gone mad ma'am, I did this to save the company and to avenge my heartache on her husband, she and her friends have destroyed our company ma'am,”

“shut your mouth, because of your heartache then you sacrificed your sister, do you think mom will support you for that?” said Saniah ma'am still growling furiously at Irman.

“i didn't sacrifice anyone here, Mila is a girl, she's just like mom, she'll enjoy what Arnes will do to her, and I'm sure she can get hooked on that, she said, and find many other men who can satisfy his lust, do you think Mila does not deserve the pleasure that you feel first?” irman said without any burden on his heart. She was just like Mila who already knew what their parents were doing.

And back one nested slap on Irman's cheek, “I'm indeed despicable Irman, but I won't let my daughter be like that, do you think you're the one who's disappointed with Arya here, I'm also disappointed, I'm also disappointed, I'm also, but don't think of destroying Mila, she's too innocent for this all”

“Mila is beautiful ma'am, surely many men want her, not only Arnes, let her enjoy her youth like mother used to,”

“shut your mouth, you,,” said Saniah ma'am full of emotion as she pointed her finger at Irman.

Ms. Saniah then got up from her seat, “lock the door before going” said Saniah ma'am held back her anger and then stepped out of her apartment.

“give me grandfather shares in Adinata group bu, those shares can save our company” cried Irman before Saniah ma'am out of his apartment. Irman then stood staring cynically at his mother.

“never touch Mila, if you dare just jerk your sister into the world of the curse, I will kill you” threatened Saniah ma'am Irman and then he stepped away.

Irman just laughed cynically at his mother's words and sat back in his chair. “I have indeed gone mad ma'am, I am like this because of mom and dad, and I have indeed gone mad with Mila, and I have gone mad with Mila, if not for my sister, maybe I have enjoyed her since a long time ago, I have indeed gone crazy, trusting the man to take care of her, it turns out he is the mastermind behind the destruction of my company” Irman murmured full of sincerity.

actually I'm pretty scared of combining Islamic characters and characters with dark lives like Irman in a story like this one, afraid of many negative comments if I play the Islamic character Mila in a broken family with a dirty life setting, but I hope from the character Mila a valuable lesson for our lives appears.
