Picking Up the Past

Pay With His Life

“I don't know what happened, but does that mean I should choose Arya now?”

“If you want to see Arya's body immediately, you can choose that person" said Tomy full of emphasis.

"as I said, it's the circumstances that will choose for you” said Tomy again.

“but why they're after Arya Tom, didn't they get the company"

“The ownership status of the company is still in the name of Aryan father, all the family of Arya's father and mother have been killed by that person, they want to take all the belongings of Arya's father, Arya's father, they want to take all belongings, for that he killed all the heirs of Aryan's father,

but the company was still unable to get, because there was still one more heir who had no reports of his death, and the heir who had no reports of his death was Arya

They need Arya's body to gain ownership status. Until now the legitimate heir of the company is still Arya, for that they are eyeing Arya's life, to get the company completely into their possession” explained Tomy again who made Mila sobbing.

Mila does not understand Tomy's sentence completely, because such company and business problems are too difficult for her to understand, but she can catch, that the Arnes family needs Arya's death to get everything.

“Tom, does that mean you're not Aryan's cousin as I thought?”

“cousin?”

“iya, in the photo Arya calls your father and mother uncle and aunt”

“i don't know for sure what happened Mil," Tomy replied briefly, saying,

"Arya never wanted to tell me about what happened to her family, which I know for sure, the news in the media was just a slander of the company's current CEO, that day my father brought Arya to my house when he came home from Jakarta, and that day my father made Arya his adopted son,” explained Tomy about Arya's status in his family.

“all the identity data Arya created was new in my village, his identity about the Gibran child was discarded, and that's also the real reason we always fight about who's older, he said, because we never knew Arya's true identity, because Arya's new identity was younger than mine, but she felt that her true identity, she was older than me” continued Tomy again with a smile, and it also makes Mila smile a little, at least she knows why Tomy and Arya always fight about who is older than them.

“Tom, if I choose that person, can I protect Arya?” ask Mila carefully.

“I asked like this so that I could understand my own choice, not another”, continued Mila, he did not want Tomy to misunderstand his question. Tomy took a deep breath hearing Mila's words.

“no Mil, you have nothing of value to him" said Tomy with a slight press

"he needs another woman to be the CEO, a woman who will be his wife and his official wife, if you want to stay with him, then you have to give Arya's life to him, otherwise, you can only be his savings, no more,” continued Tomy full of emphasis.

Mila swallows her saliva hearing it all, “but she says she's just getting married to be CEO, and after that he will divorce his wife for me” replied Mila who was still trying to find the truth that seemed gray to him.

“and you believe?” said Tomy who made Mila pias hear it, ‘does that mean bang Arnes lied to me?’

“listen carefully Mil, the man will be married to the woman of Hardi corp, Hardi corp was the second largest shareholder in Adinata group, he said, The shares will fall into the hands of his daughter and the man will hold the second-largest stake in the adinata group after they are married,

with that stock as well and a little influence of his father who is now still the CEO, then he can become the CEO, the largest shareholder today in the Adinata group is the father of Arya, and then he can become the CEO,

however, the shares will become the property of the company and be sold on the capital market if Arya does not return to take away the rights, and if that happens the man will be the largest shareholder in the Adinata group with his wife as collateral,

and if they get divorced, the shares will go back to his wife and he'll be dumped like trash out of the company's Adinata group.

do you think you will still be of value in his eyes, you will only be devoured by your own love, you have no power like his future wife, this is not just a Mil business, it is not a,

but it's politics in power struggles, and women are only as valuable as things to wear if needed and thrown away when they're useless, your love is worth nothing there” explained Tomy at length.

Mila grimaced to hear it all, he did not know if there was anything big behind Arnes all this time, he was too blind to the problems of the company and business, he was too blind to the problems of the company and business, so that he did not realize that he had been played by Arnes,

'really said mother, I was too naive to judge they were good people, they were just bad people who had ambitions to find treasure and the inner mastery of’ Mila endured sadly.

“there is only one way if you want to be with the man Mil” said Tomy to make Mila sure to choose Arya. Mila looked at Tomy with tears that she could not bear anymore “apa Tom?”

“give Arya's life to her" said Tomy an emotional penub.

"he will marry you and make you his official wife, make Arya's life as payment for your love, only Arya's life can make him accept you as his wife, only Arya Mil's life, only Arya Mil's life, nothing else” said Tomy full of emphasis.

Mila's tears broke unbearably, she cried hearing him, “how could I do that Tom?, he said?, I will never make my husband's life a payment for his power ambitions” Mila said with a breath of breath hearing that.

Her tears dripping down her veil, her cries could not stand it anymore, her heart ached if she had to make Arya's life as a payment for her love, the man she had hurt so many times, the man who repeatedly accepted with sincerity all his mistakes, the man who repeatedly apologized without any resentment, he said,

the man who never hurt her with harsh words, the man who never looked at her with vengeful eyes, hate and anger, even though he treated her with the best of his heart, the man who always touched himself gently, not even a single touch of the man made him grimace in pain.

‘How could I have made my husband's life for that man's ambition Mila's inner’ held back the grief.

“I told Mil, when you can't choose, then the circumstances will choose it for you” said Tomy flat on Mila,

‘sorry Arya, I made your wife cry like this’ Inner Tomy saw Mila's cry.
