Picking Up the Past

Position Rita

“so sir, wherever the young master has been all this time, we are all looking for the master, we are afraid that Aliando will find the master earlier than us, the man will definitely kill the master immediately if he knows the whereabouts of tuan”, said Arjun's secretary who made Rita swallow her saliva instantly.

“kill?” rita said spontaneously because she was shocked by her father's words. He did not know at all the problems that occurred in the Adinata group and also the Adinata family, which he knew Gibran, Indra and Naina had long died.

Arya took a deep breath and took it off to give her the power to answer the questions of secretary Arjun. “that night I managed to save myself uncle, I managed to run away from home, I ran and took refuge in a car, I ran away, and the car took me away from Jakarta, I lived with the owner of the car and they became my adoptive family, sorry uncle, because my uncle and my father became like this, because we uncle and Rita have to live like this” said Arya who finally came to shed her tears.

Arya never thought at all, the Rita she saw was destroyed and like a madman in a hospital a few years ago it was because of herself, she said, he did not know where the mistake he made at the time was. But from Rita's words, it was enough to make her feel guilty.

“my mother died in my arms uncle, I was 6 years old then, and,, a,, a, me, me, me, me, “ said Arya who instantly staggered, he could no longer remember the long-ago events.

“i can not remember it again uncle, too sick what I experienced that day, I was years overshadowed by fear and feeling hunted by them, I even always felt that there were people following me while walking alone at night until now, sorry uncle, I made my uncle's family suffer” explained Arya with her trembling tone, the reappearance makes Rita swallow the saliva to hear it.

“no sir, this is not your fault, I understand what you feel like, I know that it is very hard for you to face all that when you are 6 years old at that time, we were wrong, we should have found the master, not the master who met us like this”, Arjun's secretary said, not wanting Arya to blame herself.

“but it's my fault uncle, Rita right to hate me and my father, because we live uncle like this” said Arya who repeated the sentence Rita earlier, although in fact she does not know, said Arya, what a mistake he and his father made Arjun get to prison, he just thought to justify the word Rita so that Rita does not hate him if he defies Rita's accusations.

While Rita can only be silent petrified, she is now confused as to what to position herself, hearing Arya's explanation, she should not unilaterally blame Arya. If he was in the position of Arya maybe he would not have the courage to return, what else does he know that there are people who are after his life, plus a sense of trauma and a sense of being hunted by people, feelings that will continue to torment throughout his life.

“sorry sir, do you already know the current position of the lord?” ask Arjun's secretary to Arya with her calm tone.

“I know uncle, that guy wanted my death, from the past I kept hiding, because I don't know at all how I'm going to go back, I said this to uncle also takes great courage, because I do not know if uncle belongs to them or not” explained Arya again.

“you heard Rita, now you have to protect the young master, the CEO of Adinata is still looking for the young master to kill him, you have to protect the young master” said Secretary Arjun full of emphasis on Rita.

“but father, he made father,” said Rita then cut off remarks secretary Arjun.

“if you want dad to get out of here soon, then you have to protect the young master until he becomes CEO in place of Mr. Gibran, if that doesn't happen, maybe dad will be here for life, maybe, father's prison term is 12 years, but they may have planned something else to rot to death here, because father holds all the secrets of that person” Arjun's secretary sharply told Rita.

“Look for Haris and Rahman in the company, find also Abdul and Budi sir, they are people who are still loyal to Mr. Gibran, remember Rita, the safety of young master is our top priority, the safety of the young master is, it's our life Rita, your father's life and your life, we're both destined to live for the Adinata” family Arjun's secretary told Rita.

“paman, don't force Rita to stay by my side, she's already suffered a lot because of me and my family” Arya replied defending Rita's position.

“no sir, everything we have because of the services of Mr. Gibran, it is Mr. Gibran who led us to a better life than our former life, he said, and Rita also told me what you used to do for my wife and also Rita, you saved our lives just like Mr. Gibran saved us first, Our whole life is for the Adinata Tuan” family explained Arjun's secretary to Arya.

Arya shed tears at the words of Arjun's secretary, the words of Arjun's secretary did not want him to hear at all, the debt of gratitude could not be paid with anything, so did his father and himself to Arjun's family of secretaries.

While Rita just quietly heard it all, she only heard the story of the hard life of her parents first, in PHK and the difficulty of finding work here and there, until his mother had a heart problem and Gibran Adinata came to give selfless help to his parents, even Arjun's secretary was given a job in the Adinata group. A kindness that changed the life of his family.

Rita only heard the story from her mother, because she was born with the position of secretary Arjun who had become secretary of Gibran, she lived a luxurious life from a small because of the kindness of Gibran adinata, who was born with the position of secretary Arjun, until the event destroyed the life of his luxurious family. Rita shed tears over it all. He again felt the pain of his mother between life and death while in the hospital, while his father was in prison, he was like a madman who did not know what to do to help his mother.

He realized, he should not judge Arya who also lived a much more difficult and painful life than him, but on the other hand, Arya's confession was very surprising and hurtful. Because the sense of revenge on the adinata family and rakarsa as if ingrained in his body and so also in the body of his mother.

“don't talk like that uncle, what my father and I did was sincere, uncle and Rita don't have to pay anything for it all, let Rita choose her own path, after all, anyway, if Rita gets involved in this matter, it will be very dangerous for her uncle. Uncle just needs to show me what to do, he said, I don't want anyone else to have to bear the impact of this all” Arya flatly told Arjun's secretary.

“no sir, Rita must remain by your side sir, Rita has worked long enough with the master as the secretary of the master, she must have understood what kind of master, sir, sir will need Rita very much later” said Arjun secretary staring Arya and Rita alternately.

‘I know I need Rita, but I can't force her to be by my side, what else she looks so angry at me after this year all' inner Arya.

“Rita, tell me you will always be there for our young master, you who already understand what young master is like working all this time, young master will need you very much later on, you will need yourself,” said Arjun's secretary with full emphasis on Rita.

“paman, don't force Rita, it's been enough suffering all this time because my family” said Arya who was not happy with the imposition of Arjun's secretary to Rita.

“My father,,,” said Rita stopped for a moment, she was still weighing her position at that time.
