Picking Up the Past

Young Master

Arya landed in Ho chi min at exactly 13:43 local time. When out of the arrival terminal door, 2 people ordered by Arbi were waiting for Arya there.

When Arya stepped foot into the airport courtyard, the 2 people immediately faced Arya with a salute. “who are you?” ask Arya with Indonesian, because of the face of 2 people is very clear which one is a stern face typical of batak people with white skin and another black with curly hair typical of eastern people. And also they wear the 3A Friend pin which is similar to the ones used by the Ari people.

“I am Chris sir, and this is my colleague Ortin, we will accompany the master during here according to the order of Mr. Arbi” said the man who is white.

“does Arbi also have her people too?” asked Arya flatly.

“we are all under the orders of Mr. Ari sir, but for this time, we follow the orders of Mr. Arbi to accompany the master during here according to the schedule that has been prepared”, Ortin told Arya.

Arya took a rough breath, “so my schedule over here has been compiled by Arbi,” said Arya complaining annoyed. He likes it the most if his activities are organized by others.

“iya sir, this afternoon you will visit the location of the project, the new terminal is there tuan” said Ortin while pointing to the side of the airport on the left side of Arya.

The location of the new terminal looks like an empty land covered by several guardrails so that it is not visible from the outside.

“what have they started clearing the land?” ask Arya by still looking at the location of the new terminal.

“previously this project they gave to a local contractor here sir, but some time ago the contractor was exposed to a legal case, so they look for an outside contractor, but some time ago, and reportedly they are interested in us because they see the master design on the Bian corp” website, explained Chris to Arya.

Arya nodded slowly, “later tonight you will meet people from Indonesia, they have 3 masters, we have checked them, they are clean, no one follows them here, no one follows them, and tomorrow morning the master will present in front of our client for the project here, after that we fly to Singapore to continue to Jakarta, because the plane directly to Jakarta fly the morning master,”

“Yes already, now please take me to the hotel, I want a short break” said Arya slowly, he wanted to straighten his back on the mattress while video call with Mila, he had missed his wife since Arbi left him at the airport this morning.

Arya then got into the car that had been prepared for her, she was then escorted to the hotel which is 40 minutes from the airport.

Just as he entered the hotel room, he immediately pulled out his phone to contact Mila. Arya turned on her room ac and immediately laid her body on the hotel bed after previously taking off the suit she was wearing.

“Assalamualaikum my husband” said Mila who smiled behind her red veil.

Arya smiled looking at Mila from the rectangular object she held. “walaikumussalam, have you missed me?” arya replied to his wife's joke.

And just as he finished talking, Anjani's face suddenly appeared from behind his wife. The sight that made him let out a disappointed breath. Though he wanted to worship with Mila, but that face even bothers him.

“why are you in my apartment Anjani?” arya asked in annoyance. "why indeed?, do you want to prevent me from meeting Mila?” anjani replied with a high tone. Arya rubbed her short hair.

“wah, you are more handsome yes with short hair it” continued Anjani who made Mila instantly gift him a pinch.

After resting for about 1 hour in a hotel room, Arya immediately headed to the airport to review the location of her project. He must finish all his work on time to be able to return to Jakarta immediately. During the review of the location, he was accompanied by Ortin and Chris with 5 people from the airport.

“Ari send how many people here?” arya asked Chris who was walking beside her.

“7 sir, 3 more have been spread at some point in this hotel, we can make sure no one will know who the real master is, later we will also supervise the master and miss Mila after the Adinata group announces who the master is, with Andi and Dias who have been guarding Miss Mila for several months” explained Chris in a calm and firm voice.

“so their names Andi and Diaz, I owe them a lot” said Arya who made Ortin and Chris smile to hear it. Though they were paid a large salary by Ari, but still his Aryan master felt indebted for what they did.

“do you think this isn't Chris overboard?”

“as long as we work in a world like this, this is a natural thing sir, those 3 people are the advisors of Mr. Gibran first, we do not know if they have been watched by the enemy of the master what not yet, we do not know if they have been watched by the enemy of the master what not, be careful from the beginning like this is better, because if we fail and make a position we can be dangerous mister” explained Chris to Arya.

Arya took a rough breath, “then why is the meeting in my room, why not just outside?”

“ Actually there is a room on the 1st floor of this hotel sir, the room is not too big, but the hotel does not want to turn off the cctv of the room during our meeting, so we prefer the master's room only, if outside we are also afraid of the master, later it could be the person who reported our meeting to the Adinata group, Adinata business here is quite large, and the, if 3 of Mr. Gibran's advisors meet you outside and they are recognized by the Adinata group here, this can arouse their suspicion to mr” explained Chris again.

“awah, you guys are really amazing at work” praise Arya to Chris.

“this is because of our experience working many years behind the great businessmen of masters, but we are happy to work for Mr. Ari, he said, you and Mr. Ari have a character that is much more able to appreciate everything we do” Chris said with respect to Arya.

“Don't overdo Chris, I go in first yes" said Arya by gently hitting Chris' shoulder, he then went into his room.

There Mr. Abdul, Mr. Ilham and Mr. Budi were sitting talking about something. When Arya entered, the three people immediately stood up and saluted Arya. Mr. Abdul's eyes glazed over, Arya's face brought his memory to the figure of Gibran Adinata. A person he considers to be his own son.

Pak Abdul approached Arya who was looking calmly at them. “how can I hug you?” said Mr. Abdul with his face down.

Arya swallowed her saliva, the respect given by Mr. Abdul was too much for her. “by pak” Arya replied slowly. Abdul hugged his young master tightly. He wants to release his longing for Gibran on the figure of Indra who is currently in front of him.

One by one, Gibran's advisors hugged Arya warmly. The three advisors of Gibran adinata saw Arya closely. Gibran's face was clearly on Arya's face. Naina's eyes were clearly in Arya's eyes.

The figure they last saw 22 years ago is now back they see. If Arya used to be just a cute little boy and had a high ego, now he looks mature, his face radiates a look of sincerity and warmth. The figure that used to always resist and get angry if they touched, now warmly received their embrace.

“sit sir, don't overdo it like this to me” said Arya who was uncomfortable with all the respect of her father's three advisors.

“baik tuan” reply Pak Budi.

“Ari has explained all of my father's plans to me, I am also ready to follow the plan, so what we will discuss tonight” said Arya began their long discussion.

Abdul took a deep breath, he began to explain one by one his plan to Arya. Their discussion continued until late at night.
