Picking Up the Past

Love, Obsession and Lust

“let me meet the man, I'm afraid that their movement has been read by the person who targeted Arya, if Arya directly faced him, it would be very dangerous” thought Ari.

“read? you mean the people my dad said were already under the CEO's supervision?” ask Rita to Ari.

Ari then took a deep breath looking at Rita. “you remember the explanation of Mila's bodyguard yesterday, the company will hold a shareholder meeting, it means that there are parties who want to take down the CEO, I think the CEO has acted to find out who his enemy is,” explained Ari.

Arya stared in Ari's bead, she knew the direction of her best friend's conversation, while Rita recalled Haris' warning to her. “om hariis said we should not act without her knowledge, maybe Ari is right Arya, he may have been watching people who my father said yesterday, om Rahman who said my father is now hospitalized, his condition is very concerning, he said, and om Haris said this has something to do with you” explained Rita who immediately made Arya jerk.

His heart could not accept if there should be a victim because of it all,”you are sure Ta?, he was treated for my problem?”, asked Arya with a slight tremble.

“I think so, the direction of conversation om Haris was like that” replied Rita.

“then let me meet the guy named Haris, I think it would be better if we move random, that will make the enemy difficult to read our motion” proposed Tomy on their small forum.

Ari then gazes long at Tomy, he does not want to involve Tomy in the matter because Tomy is getting married. “Tom, I think you better not come first, we don't know for sure what this problem is like,” Ari refutes on the proposal Tomy,

“but Tomy's advice is pretty good in my opinion, I've met Haris's om just now, and you've been to the hospital, it would be better for us not to get in touch with them just yet, so, at least it can remove our tracks from them” said Rita who supports the proposal Tomy.

“if Tomy is sure, I don't think it's a matter of Ri, which is important for your safety first, I do not want any of you who are in the hospital like the person Rita said Arya mediates the debate Ari and Rita.

“ya already now let's arrange the next step,” said Tomy.

Arnes was enjoying a cold drink at the restaurant owned by Adinata group that he developed, the drink he enjoyed alone while seeing visitors at his restaurant.

Arnes stared at the screen of his phone, the photos of Mila on the screen of his phone, became his meal that afternoon, ‘I really want to have you Mil, Mil, but my father always warned me not to fall in love with another woman other than the one he chose, it's my family's honor to own this company to the fullest, I don't care if you marry that man, as long as you remain mine’ Inner Arnes takes a rough breath.

‘should have given you the pleasure of the world long ago, that way the man would never want to have you, but I was too stupid to appreciate your veil, I should've enjoyed the warmth of your body from the past’ Arnes' memory and then sawwang at the moment Mila asked for a more serious relationship than just a courtship.

The woman was afraid that the bond of courtship would seep into a much greater sin, so she demanded Arnes for a more serious relationship. “the act of sin, what do I care about it, what do I do with it, what do you care also for the sin of Mil, do you not know what your brother did,” muttered Arnes smiled cynically.

Arnes then rubbed his face rough, his engagement with Anjani will be held in 2 days, ‘Mila and Anjani are both beautiful, one betel wife and one official wife, I think it's better, I think, but now that Mila is even away because her husband was’ Inner Arnes again who seemed to feel crazy with his obsession, his curiosity in the woman made it really difficult to control her. Not only want to enjoy it but also want to have the girl completely, an obsession that arises because of his passion for the girl that has never been channeled.

Even the women who used to accompany him could not make his curiosity in Mila disappear, ‘I really - obsessed with this body, and unfortunately I, I, your brother turns out to be just a stupid man who doesn't know which one is best for himself’ Inner Arnes again.

Arnes's mind at that time was not too good, even though the engagement was 2 days away, but the problems of Adinata's subsidiary that he led made his mind become chaotic, he said, the company funds he wanted could flow into a subsidiary he led to fund his new project did not materialize. Though the subsidiary needs an injection of funds to improve financially.

‘if Irman can get that stock for dad, I can also get a share of the funds that he got inner’ Arnes again, he actually has no power whatsoever in the Adinata group, he actually has no power whatsoever, his father who is the CEO also does not have the authority as Gibran used to be the CEO and owner of the company. Using company funds for things like helping Irman would have him and his father accused of embezzling company money into Irman's company.

What he offered Irman in exchange for the younger brother's body was just an empty offer that he himself had no power to make, his status as a subsidiary CEO of a company as big as Adinata group is what makes Irman believe in what Arnes offers for him.

That afternoon Arnes like to get entertainment when he saw Arya's motorbike just parked in front of a mini market opposite the luxury restaurant owned by the Adinata group.

Arnes still remembers the duck bike that Arya brought when she saw the man in the yard of Mila's house, the day Arya saw Mila with Arnes, arya's face is still clear in the memory of Arnes, the man who seized her and kept her away from him.

Arnes smiled sinisterly looking at Arya who stood for a moment to look at her restaurant, ‘it looks like I was lucky to get a little entertainment this afternoon, Mil, Mil, he will throw you away and we can together enjoy our time' Inner Arnes, he then got up and walked towards Arya who has entered into a quiet mini market.
