Picking Up the Past

Meet Hardi

Arya immediately got out of her car, she rushed to the elevator in the basement of her apartment. When the elevator opens, he sees Ari and Dr. Karina there. Arya let out a rough breath, she looked at Dr. Karina, “how is my wife Karina?” ask her in panic.

“he is safe, don't panic” replied Ari.

“Mila is okay Arya” replied doctor Karina, “the content is also fine, if you are not busy today, you better accompany her so that she does not have much thought when you are outside”

Arya took a deep breath, she then immediately entered the elevator followed by Chris, but Ari pressed the button so that the elevator door was not closed first.

“lo has Adinata's bodyguard look after Mila Arya?”

“iya Ri, you don't worry, they are people who have been looking after the family of aunt Rena and uncle Haris” replied Arya, “lo people are also not much, right, what else they should also keep our company”

Ari took a deep breath, “sorry Arya, circumstances do not allow me to send more people to keep Mila”

“nothing Ri, by the way your relationship is better?” tanya Arya looked towards Ari and doctor Karina alternately.

But the two of them were just silent, Ari took off the button he was pressing and then the elevator door closed.

“Come on Karina, you must immediately return to the hospital” muttered Ari flatly.

Doctor Karina is silent and complies, there is a feeling lost when she and Ari no longer have that bond. ‘not should I have dated him first, now I feel the consequences’ doctor Karina regrets her own feelings.

Arya immediately went to the door of her apartment, where she saw Adinata group bodyguards standing guard, she immediately approached. The 10-man Adinata group bodyguard saluted him. Arya went inside, as she took off her shoes, she saw that there were high heels of women there.

Arya stared at the wonder of the shoe, ‘what is Abel?’ he thought, Arya then shook her head, as long as she knew Abel, the girl always wore sneakers, while Mila and Vanessa did not carry high heels at all when they moved there.

Arya rushed into her room with a greeting. His eyes looked in wonder at Anjani who was hugging Mila. “Anjani”.

Anjani looked casually at Arya and let go of her hug on Mila, this “kamu, obviously my best friend is pregnant again, you are not taking good care of her” he said in a slightly high tone.

'this is why?’ inner Aryan.

“I have a board meeting earlier” Arya replied briefly, she then immediately sat on the floor with a position next to Mila. His hand immediately grabbed Mila's hand and grasped her

“what is your meeting more important than Mila?” anjani scolded Arya.

Arya takes a rough breath, even though it is a matter of work and company, still she has a responsibility for it.

“I don't want to argue Anjani” murmured Arya, he stroked Mila's cheek which looked still pale.

“I'm okay Arya, don't worry like that” said Mila returned the gaze of her husband who looked so worried.

Arya is eager to kiss his wife's forehead, but Anjani's presence makes her hold it back.

He then looked towards Anjani, “are you angry at me Anjani?”

“you don't take good care of my best friend, how can I not be angry?”

“not that, but over the press conference yesterday” Arya said flatly.

Anjani took a deep breath, “I have told Mila, let Mila clear everything to you” Anjani replied flatly.

“sorry if I let you down”

“no Arya, I also understand your position, you must always be worried when there are near me” replied Anjani.

Anjani saw Arya's hand still holding Mila's hand, “it looks like you two need time together,” Anjani then get off the bed, “I have to say goodbye first”

Mila and Arya looked towards Anjani who was walking towards the ornamental table, the boy tidied his clothes on the mirror of the ornamental table Mila.

“why are you two looking at me like that?” said Anjani who saw Arya and Mila looking at him through the reflection of a large mirror.

Arya smiled, Anjani's attitude is still the same as before. Always attentive, sincere and his speech is always sloppy.

“thank you very much Anjani” muttered Mila.

Anjani took a rough breath, “lanknya just replace it with the design of the third hotel ku” he said turned around and looked towards Arya.

“I have sent documents according to the procedure” continued Anjani when he saw Arya was about to speak, Arya took a deep breath.

“One more time, take good care of Mila, or I will not forgive you” continued Anjani, he then parted and came out of the room.

When the door was closed, Arya immediately went up to the bed and hugged Mila, she gave her wife a kiss on her face.

“astaga Arya, why you?” ask Mila who feels uncomfortable with Arya's behavior.

“you lust ya” Mila continued with annoyance.

“I'm worried Mil” muttered Arya, “I was really scared was Mil, fortunately uncle Haris yesterday sent bodyguard Adinata group to look after you”

“I'm okay Arya, don't worry about me, I don't want to be your burden”

Arya shook her head, “we've talked about this Mil, you're not my burden, you're my breath Mil, my responsibility”

“today I will accompany you here, let Rita who sent my work documents later” continued Arya.

Mila took a deep breath. Arya's work will accumulate if you have to work there. He returned Arya's embrace to give her calm.

Ari stepped gontai towards his room, his feelings felt erratic. He still hopes a lot for Karina's doctor, but the girl doesn't expect anything from him.

Ever since he cut off their relationship, the girl looked ordinary and was not affected at all, in contrast to him who until that second could only feel pain.

Whatever the power, the girl he loves has no feelings for him. Even going forward he was afraid, if it would not provide happiness for the girl, even he could not imagine doctor Karina living with him with a sense of force.

The girl has given her the green light to come forward, but she doubts, will love for her grow in the heart of doctor Karina after marriage?.

Ari rubbed her hair rough, 3 years of dating, the love never grew in the heart of doctor Karina. Is the girl's love for another man?, who is she? during this time doctor Karina was never close to other men.

Ari passed the employees who greeted with a flat face, he did not respond to the greetings of people who saluted him.

When he entered his room, he saw Tomy sitting there, he again took a rough breath.

“lo here Tom?” ask him lethargicly.

“how is Mila?”

“aman, have checked with Karina earlier” replied Ari, he then sat on the sofa next to Tomy. His head rested on the back of the sofa and his eyes closed.

“lo why Ri?” Tomy saw the astonishment of Ari's lethargic face.

Ari quietly did not answer, he then drank a drink Tomy on his soft table. “how part lo?” ask him briefly.

“gue, Abel, just as Abel has been giving information at the police station, maybe Arnes will soon be checked and jailed”, Tomy replied flatly.

“lo sure he can be jailed?”

“depending on Ri, yesterday the police used the article of bragging, depending on the court later whether he was detained or not,” replied Tomy.

“why don't you report with the abuse case too, right he bullied Abel when it”

“iya, but he did not have time to touch Abel, if he touched, Abel, I killed him, do not need to use the article of harassment all” continued Tomy.

Ari took a deep breath hearing Tomy's answer, “truss shareholders how?” ask Ari again.

Tomy momentarily rubbed his hair rough, he saw Ari's face that still looked lethargic.

"some support Arya, some want to see the situation ahead of the shareholder meeting, the time is still 2 months away” continued Tomy.

“they must be weighing profit and loss” murmured Ari, “maybe also they are still affected by the engagement of Aliando's son with Anjani, earlier Anjani said the engagement had been canceled unilaterally by his father, Anjani said, if it has been spread to the public, surely they will support Arya”

"so the engagement has been canceled" said Tomy.

“iya, you already used the funds that Arya gave to buy the stock” asked Ari again.

“Later aja lo gunain the money,” said Ari, “lagian is to shake the position of Aliando from outside the Adinata group aja, aunt Rena and om Haris swaying from the inside, and, with circumstances like this his thinking will be more chaotic, and his actions more rash, at the right time, then we say they” said Ari flatly.

Ari then looks towards Tomy, “Arbi how?” tanyakanya.

Arbi was walking casually towards the Hardi corp reception desk, he smilingly asked the receptionist who served there.

“sorry sir, do you already have an appointment with Mr Hardi?” ask the receptionist to Arbi.

“tell Mr. Hardi that assistant to Mr. Arya the owner of the Adinata group wants to meet him now” said Arbi casually, his eyes pay attention to what the company lobby looks like.

The receptionist fell silent, he tried to digest what Arbi said, ‘assistant lord Arya?, owner of Adinata group?’ He then immediately called Hardi's secretary to notify Arbi's arrival.

Arbi watched everyone who was there, until his eyes and the eyes of Anjani who was walking towards the elevator met.

Arbi smiled at Anjani, but the girl was just dumb and immediately turned her eyes towards the elevator door. Arbi took a rough breath.

“please enter sir, Mr. Hardi is waiting for you in his room, his room on the floor,,,”

“I know” cut Arbi instantly, he immediately walked quickly after Anjani in order to ride the same elevator with the girl.

While the receptionist only looked at the astonishment of the behavior of his guests.

When the elevator door opened, Anjani immediately entered, and Arbi rushed over to avoid falling behind. They were in the elevator with 4 other people.

Arbi stood next to Anjani in a cold manner, giving a slight impression of an authoritative and wise man there.

“You're from 3A Friend right?” ask Anjani flatly.

“iya, it turns out you still remember me” replied Arbi also flatly.

“no, I don't remember, what's your name?” ask Anjani.

Arbi took a rough breath, even though he had already introduced himself to Anjani in Anjani's own room.

“Arbi” muttered Arbi with brief.

“ooh, I just entered my design request this morning, why are you here now?” asked Anjani in surprise.

“I want to meet your father, there is an important business that we have to take care of”

Anjani glanced at Arbi confusedly, the man still standing straight with a cold face.

When the elevator door opens, Anjani then exits, and Arbi takes a deep breath instantly. “it looks like this is a bad start” murmured quietly.

Arbi stepped casually towards Hardi's room, his phone rang, he opened it, the ex is still chasing him, ‘ah, shit, this girl, has been cut off still aja ngebet ask balikan’ regret.

Arbi then turned it off and screened her phone. He immediately asked Hardi's secretary for permission to enter Hardi's room.

Hardi looked flatly at the figure of Arbi who entered his room with casual steps.

"i think we've met” said Hardi saw the face of Arbi who is no stranger to him.

“you underestimate our company sir, I have 3 times here signed your hotel project” said Arbi flatly.

Hardi took a deep breath, “3A Friend yes, what is Arya's relationship with 3A Friend?” ask Hardi.

“He was the architect who designed all your hotels” answered Arbi briefly, Hardi scrunched his forehead, ‘what did Anjani meet with Indra?’ his inner.

“do I need to introduce myself again?” ask Arbi.

“sorry, I'm forgetful” replied Hardi briefly, ‘ha pesky, son of the same father, same aja’ rutu Arbi in his mind.

“Arbi, don't forget my name is sir, or your daughter will be angry with you” said Arbi with origin.

“you mean?” asked Hardi who was confused by Arbi's sentence,

Arbi smiled at Hardi, “later we discuss it on another occasion, I am here to bid your shares for Arya” said Arbi to the point will mean his arrival.

Hardi laughed cynically to the figure of the brave-looking young man, “what is Arya looking for support to become CEO now?”

“rapatnya less than 2 months away, we are listing who we will make friends and opponents, your shares in Adinata group large, we are, making sure you are an opponent or enemy is quite very important” said Arbi who began seriously with his tone.

“do you think Aliando can fall?, there is still my daughter's future husband who will replace her, Arya is not necessarily free to be CEO even though she is the son of Gibran and Naina, he said, the marriage of my daughter and Arnes will defeat her” Hardi said back at Arbi.

Arbi looked flatly at Hardi, it was the fourth time he had met the man. He can already recognize what the character of Hardi in a negotiation.

“i'm not sure you want to have besan and son-in-law who will become inmate” said Arbi flatly.

Hardi swallowed his saliva, he stared flatly at Arbi, ‘does this boy know everything?’

"the case of the embezzlement of Aliando's funds is being processed, his son has also been reported to my friend to the police, do you still want to cooperate with them sir?"

“i do not want to linger sir, this already want lunch hour, support Arya or all cooperation Adinata group with Hardi corp will be cut off” said Arbi full emphasis.

Hardi laughs after hearing it, “hei son, you are still a child, you think the cooperation of 2 companies can be cut just because of the selection of CEO course”

Arbi smiled cunningly, “you're right sir, but that's not the point” Arbi folded his hands in front of the chest “there are many misappropriations of funds in your project, in your opinion, if all revealed to the public, then, what will happen with this company”

"i can bestow that embezzlement with your employees as suspects, and your project with the Adinata group will be reviewed all by Arya"

Hardi's eyes rounded in shock at hearing that, “what do you mean?”

“you trust too much Aliando, some of your projects have been diverted Aliando in the field, the data is already in the hands of aunt Rena,” Arbi smiled cynically.

"not only are you the victim, but there are other companies, and obviously they support Arya to protect themselves”

Arbi took a deep breath, His eyes looked at Hardi casually, “we are sorting out which ones are opponents and enemies, if you are not on our side, we have to get rid of you, we have to get rid of you, at least making your company deal with the court for a few months is enough to make Arya rise to CEO” Arbi smile cynically.

"well, well we are brave too" said Hardi trying flat with the situation.

“maybe I have to first identify who I am master, my name is Muhammad Arbi Alamsyah, the second son of Firman alamsyah and Aini alamsyah”

Hardi swallowed his saliva hearing those 2 names, names that have handled many major cases in this country.

“so you're the big lawyer's son?” hardi murmured furiously.

“all cases Aliando in Adinata group already held my mother, we just need to play pull-out with shareholders like you to benefit the position of Arya” continued Arbi.

Hardi closed his eyes, Aini Alamsyah's name was very familiar to him in solving various cases of embezzlement of money businessmen. 'it is fitting that this child can suppress me confidently, he said, so his mother already knew about Aliando's embezzlement in detail'

“disconnect now, or your company name will be dragged along in the case of Aliando”

Hardi took a deep breath, the problems in the Adinata group made his position even more difficult, he had to be careful to take action so that shareholders did not judge him rash in making decisions. What else Anjani and Arnes engagement just a month implemented.

Any action will affect the support of the shareholders to him and his family. The appearance of Arya with the case of Aliando made his steps affected. Hardi took a deep breath, he had to calmly face Arbi.

“you made me difficult, I've canceled my daughter's match with Aliando's son, but I still keep it a secret so that shareholders don't judge me a labile businessman, and now you make it harder for me,”

Of his many collaborations with the Adinata group, he did not know which project was problematic and played by Aliando, making his position even more worried, all the reports he received from their project were also assessed cleanly without any irregularities.

“you can think about it first sir, after a decision, please have your daughter meet me at 3A Friend, I give you 2 days, before the case Aliando brought Arya into the realm of law"

“remember sir, Anjani, not you” Arbi clarified again his sentence. He then stood up, “after lunch hour, you have to rest, I say goodbye first”

'Anjani? why should Anjani' Inner Hardi see the departure of Arbi.

Arbi then stood up and left Hardi, he lifted both sides of Jas shoulder, ‘what am I cool?’ his mind with pride.

‘astaga, I threatened her, her blessing must be hard for me to get her inner later’ again which makes her pride disappear.

While Hardi looked at Arbi puzzledly, was there really a project that Aliando was playing. He had to make sure first, so that he and his big company did not become a toy for young people like Arbi. Hardi immediately called his secretary, asking to check all reports of his cooperation with the Adinata group.
