Picking Up the Past

Your Help

Arya and Mila walked towards Arya's room by clasping each other's hands tightly, Rita who saw the arrival of the two people just put on a flat face, she tried to resist the turmoil in her heart, it's still hard to accept that fact, as if Arya and Mila were both the ones who destroyed her family, even though she realized that it wasn't the fault of both of them either.

Arya immediately entered her room without paying attention to Rita, she just did not want to make Rita feel uncomfortable with the presence of Mila, Mila just silently followed her husband's steps to enter the room.

The moment they entered, the scene inside instantly made them take a rough breath.

Arbi and Ari were sitting inside like they were discussing something, when the door of the room opened, they immediately stopped their conversation and looked towards Arya and Mila who had just arrived, and they stopped talking, Arya then entered by saying her greeting in a trenchant tone.

“if you already have a wife, it came too late gini” said Ari looking at Arbi, his speech immediately made Arya snort annoyed because she felt insinuated by Ari.

“all of you who are early in the morning have come here, what time have you tried, have sat here” said Arya with annoyance, he then sat in front of Ari and Arbi, he said, Mila then followed and sat beside Arya while looking down, she still felt fear when she saw the presence of the 2 men there.

Arbi with his flat attitude gave a document to the newly seated Arya, “ini there is a project in Vietnam, the construction of an airport terminal there,”, Arbi said flatly.

Arya took the document and saw for a moment what it contained. “gue this afternoon will go to Vietnam to discuss his contract, and you prepare his design to be sent to them next week,” continued Arbi.

“next week?, good time you say, easy kayak aja design airport terminal” complained Arya.

“lo prepare soon, I will go to London, if we win and everything is smooth, maybe you will often go to Kalimantan, big projects like this must you yourself who supervise its development, he said, Ari will only occasionally go there, so you are ready to leave your wife more often in front of” continued Arbi staring cynically at Mila who lowered her head, while Mila squeezed both hands heard it all, because Arbi's sentence seemed to be a threat to her.

“lo calm down, now I want to talk to you guys about something, I really need your help for this” said Arya switched their conversation.

Ari and Arbi stare long at Arya's eyes, while Arya pulls Mila's hand for her to hold in order to give her strength. “You already know the problem of Adinata group?” ask Arya carefully.

“Adinata group?, meaning you can explain why Adinata group people take blood samples lo?” arbi asked flatly, Arbi's greeting instantly made Arya and Mila gasp in shock, Arya had difficulty swallowing her saliva, her body felt trembling as fear entered her heart.

'my blood sample was taken by Adinata group?’ arya's inner instantly made her chest tight with fear.

“my blood sample?, what do you mean?” ask Arya who does not believe what she heard.

Ari took a deep breath because he thought Arbi too quickly started the conversation by offending the blood problem, “my man who ngawasin lo wife saw a man from Adinata group take a sample of your blood in the hospital loby when you want to visit Tomy” explained Ari.

Arya immediately recalled the incident she had experienced in the hospital lobby, when a man hit her and had touched her left abdomen, he said, and also the red spot he saw on the shirt he was wearing that day.

“ya Lord, does anyone there know about me?” said Arya clasped tightly with Mila's hand and Mila could feel for herself how tight Arya's hand was at that time.

“so what's your problem with them Arya?” ask Ari full of questions.

Arya took a deep breath in calming her fear, she should not go overboard because of that fear, while Mila looked at her hand that was still tightly grasped by Arya. From that grasp he knew how scared Arya was then. ‘ya God strengthen my husband face this all’

“you know the Gibran family adinata?” asked Arya flatly.

“Founder of Adinata group who killed his son and wife, it's an old story that had a scene at that time, the body of the husband and wife was found with gunshot wounds, and, and the body of their child was dumped by the husband and never found until now, when I was little my father and my mother often discussed the case at the dinner table” explained Arbi.

“if I say yes, will you believe?” arya asked by bracing herself from fear.

“lo seriously, what is it that you and Tomy keep secret from us about your past and also the parents of lo” said Arbi who seemed to not believe what he heard.

Arya momentarily closed her eyes, considering something that she was going to convey. “gue absolutely did not want to keep this a secret from you guys, I just protected myself, I just protected myself, CEO Adinata now needs my death certificate to seize all of my father's possessions fully” Arya said in a soft tone to her two best friends.

“waww, you are really full of secrets Arya, we have been friends for a long time, and I do not know the same about this problem,” said Arbi released his shock. While Ari just put on a flat face hearing it all, his expression was much calmer than his brain who continued to work understanding every word Arya.

“what can make me and Ari believe what you say?, everyone can confess like that now, because indeed the body of the child was never found, he said, there are now only conspiracy theories surrounding the death of the Adinata family that are widely circulated in the media on-line”, said Arbi is still full of investigation on Arya.

“gue do not need you to believe or not the same me, I need your help to protect me, I just want to restore my father's good name, that's” Arya told 2 of her friends.

“lo consider us friends anyway? problems of this size lo secret from us, lo marriage also lo secret from us, and now you say you do not need the trust of us, you do not need the trust of us, you just want to benefit us for the purpose of lo aja” said Arbi by holding his sense of regret to Arya.

“sorry, I asked Arya to keep our marriage a secret, and Arya kept it a secret about her father and mother because of her fear and trauma, my husband does not want to take advantage of you, she just needs your help because she believes in you guys”, said Mila, who opened her voice because she did not want her husband to be blamed by Arbi.

Ari and Arbi immediately looked into Mila's eyes, they held back the annoyance they felt towards Mila, Wanting for them to curse Mila there, but they must be able to accept the circumstances that Arya has chosen his wife.

Seeing Ari and Arbi's eyes, Mila again wanted to open her voice, but her intention stopped as Arya clasped her hand even more tightly. Arbi took a deep breath looking at Mila, he did not want to involve the girl in the discussion.

Arbi then folded her arms around her chest and stared intently at Arya, “then how can you be Tomy's foster brother?” ask him with full attention.

Arya took a deep breath listening to Arbi's question, it was still very painful to recall the event.

“that was clear that night I managed to escape from the house when they killed my father and mother, that night I ran as far as I could, and hid in the pick up car of his father Tomy, and, at that time I thought the car would be there until the morning, because it was very late at that time, but it turned out that the car that took me to Tomy's house, Tomy's family knows everything, but it was the car that took me to Tomy's house, and to keep me from being targeted by the CEO of Adinata and all my identity in the waste” explained Arya briefly.

“indeed what happened to your father and mother that night?” ask Abi again who is still full of investigation.

“sorry Bi, it hurts too much to remember her” said Arya briefly, her chest tightened again and Mila's hand held in her hand the more she stretched. Mila then rubbed Arya's hand that was holding her hand. Ari and Arbi who saw it can already understand that their friend was holding a deep wound at that time.

“its ok, I just want to know, which conspiracy is right from that incident” said Arbi casually, he did not want it to burden Arya.

Ari took a deep breath, he tried to think something out loud, “kill that murder case was a long time ago Arya, if you are indeed that child, there is no point lo show up now, “

“if it's no use, they won't take my blood Ri, if their test results are positive with my father's blood, they'll be after me Ri, they'll be after me, they will finish me like they finish my father and mother” said Arya full of emphasis on Ari.

Arbi stared long at Arya's eyes, he could see the fear in Arya's eyes, “ini is not a small problem Arya, Adinata group is a big company, a big company, we can't mess with them” Arbi told Arya.

“gue met Rita's father yesterday, he was my father's secretary, and now I need your help to meet the people he calls that, rita's father said those people would help me later” explained Arya again.

‘father sister Rita?’ inward Mila then remembered Rita's father who was still in prison.
