Picking Up the Past

Worrying

Arya sees chat message from Mila, “you're husband cool” short message it sent with emoji spirit and fire. Arya took a rough breath reading it.

“thank you dear, pray I hope the meeting of the directors smoothly” reply Arya.

"just let this morning you call me dear, cook call unfortunately steal-steak like that, like a child knows' reply Mila.

Arya laughed at reading it,

"yes, I love you, I love you so much" Arya replied, She then exchanged a chat with Mila.

While Rita beside him is preparing documents that will be discussed at a board meeting later. They were sitting on the fifth floor of the lobby, the floor where the board meeting will be held that day. Near them, the guards still faithfully stood guard over their master.

Aliando passed in front of Arya without any regard for Arya at all, in front of Aliando, Haris was also walking towards Arya. Looking at Aliando, Haris stopped his steps and looked flat at Aliando.

“you are acting as you please here, holding press conferences and board meetings without my consent” Aliando said sharply.

Haris smiled briefly, he looked at Aliando calmly, “you are only the CEO, not the owner of the company, so you better not be pretentious in power here” said Haris. “my board of directors, so you should not be acting like power here, I also have the right to roll it”

“you have exceeded your authority Haris” said Aliando full of emphasis.

Haris is silent, he takes a rough breath, “ya is up to you, if I am wrong, I will not do it again” replied Haris flatly.

Arguing with an emotional person like Aliando at that time will not produce anything. Haris then leaves Aliando to sit near Arya and Rita. While Aliando took a rough breath and continued his steps towards the meeting room.

“how are you?, what is the press conference tense” said Haris after sitting near Arya.

“no uncle, I quite enjoyed it”

“10 minutes more board of directors meeting will start,” said Haris saw the clock in his hand, “tuan just calm down, there is me and Rena who will help you face the company's top brass,”

Arya nodded slowly, “I have not learned much about the condition of uncle's company, the documents Rita prepared also do not detail, I think uncle's help will really be needed later”

"the data sent by Aunt Rena is also still rough, I have difficulty sorting the data for Arya" said Rita with annoyance,

2 days he spent processing the data sent by Rena, but the data is still difficult to understand. He was just learning to be a secretary, exactly the same when he first became Aryan secretary at 3A Friend, did not know anything at all.

Haris smiled faintly, “we have prepared everything, sir and you Rita, just follow the plot, Aliando's people will definitely attack you in the meeting later, but you calm down, sir, budget problems are enough to make them silent later in” replied Haris,

Haris then stood “let us go to the meeting room sir, everything must have been waiting for the master there” said Haris invited Arya to walk first.

Arya and Rita then stand up they follow the steps of Adinata's bodyguards who always lead them since setting foot in the Adinata group this morning. Behind them Chris and Ortin still faithfully stood guard over his master. Before entering the room, Arya left her phone to Chris so as not to disturb him during the meeting.

Arya and Rita enter a room, luxurious and elegant, that's the first impression when entering the room. There is a rectangular table where one end is rounded.

The board of directors and the board of the company Adinata group who had sat in their respective seats immediately stood up saluting Arya. Everyone there wore elegant clothes ranging from suits, ties to the shoes they wore were the best quality items. Describe what their social status is like in society.

Rita and Arya immediately sat down on the chair prepared for them. Arya raised her head, noticing every eye that panned towards her. He took a rough breath, he turned his gaze by looking at a document that Rita had given him.

“this document is Ta?”

“Iya Arya,” replied Rita “ini has been summarized everything, you read it at a glance, later om Haris will help you explain”

Arya nodded slowly. From last night he had read some documents Adinata group to prepare for the meeting. Understanding the ins and outs of such a large company is not easy, what else he faces are people who have understood the course of all lines of business in the company.

Mila stared in the chat message she sent on her phone, only tick 2, has not changed to blue. “rapatnya already started ya” murmured slowly.

Vanessa who sat beside Mila in the living room was looking at Mila flatly, “Arya must be busy Mil” he said,” do not chat to him too often, later the concentration is lost”

Mila nodded slowly, she understood the situation, after all, only her worry was too excessive. Suddenly Mila's phone rang, there was a call coming in, Mila who was holding the phone looked at the unknown number in surprise.

“who is Mil?, why is it only diliatin, not lifted” said Vanessa.

“not knowing brother, this is just his number aja” muttered Mila.

While Mila is still in the apartment because she was told to rest by Miss Annisa and Mr. Susanto.

“you don't know what happened that night Mil?” vanessa asked quietly, she herself was still curious about the mystery of the night that changed Arya's life.

“no brother, Arya does not want a story, every discuss it, he must immediately sad”

“pity Arya ya Mil, at such a small age, he already has to face a tough life”

Mila took a deep breath hearing Vanessa's words, “and I even added to her pain” Mila said guiltily, “kak, kak, do you think my brother selfishly asked Arya not to go away from me after what I did?. I even felt unworthy of her forgiveness”

“are you sorry for your decision it is now Mil?”

Mila shook her head, “I just want to be with Arya sister, that's all, I'm afraid that I'm selfish to Arya”

Vanessa takes a rough breath, “you are already pregnant, why again think about what happened, besides Arya has accepted you and does not mind it all” said Vanessa stroked Mila's soft shoulder.

Mila's phone rang again, the same number called her again, “who the hell?” upset Mila while looking at her phone screen.

“lift aja Mil, where to know important”

Mila took a rough breath, she then raised the call.

“hello dear, do you not miss me” muttered the male voice behind the call,

Mila's eyes were round, her heart was beating fast, fear was seeping into her heart. He immediately turned off the call.

“who's Mil?, why are your eyes like that” asked Vanessa who saw Mila's eyes look scared

Mila shook her head, she returned to focus on the tv she watched. “no one sister, one of the connections” muttered Mila slowly.

“ohh, yes already, we go to the kitchen yuk, cook first for lunch” said Vanessa while standing up to immediately go to the kitchen.

While Mila took the tv remote to turn off the tv. When he was about to walk into the kitchen, suddenly a notification chat came in, Mila immediately saw it.

‘kok turned off Mil?, I'm at your house right now, why don't you exist?’

‘i also to school, said you have stopped ngajar’

‘what man stole all your freedom? set your life as you like’

‘you take it easy, I'll snatch you from him’

‘wait for me, I will save you from a rude man like him’

‘now where are you?, there are things I want to talk about’

Mila was speechless, she realized the chat was from Arnes. ‘ya Lord, I must how’ muttered Mila.

‘why read aja Mil,koq not replyed, continued the chat was back,

‘you take it easy, he is not only my enemy now, but also my father's enemy, I will make sure his death to save you, wait for me to pick you up Mil, take good care of a selfish man like him’ Arnes's last message to Mila.

Mila took a rough breath, she was still confused as to what to reply, she looked back at the chat message, the word of death written there made her heart beat fast.

'my God, protect my husband’ inner Mila.

Mila immediately called Arya, but her call was not lifted at all, making her heart beat faster. Many times he called, but still did not enter. Usually as busy as Arya in the meeting, her husband will definitely reply to her chat briefly, saying later will ‘call again’.

‘what happened at the meeting, why didn't Arya reply to my chat? he didn't pick up my phone, did Arnes do anything there?’ his mind is not care. Not feeling her tears dripping, ‘I have to how now, Arya, you are okay?'

Mila's head was suddenly dazed, her worry and fear drained all her strength, her knees weakened and she finally collapsed in the living room.
