Picking Up the Past

For the Honor of Gibran

Mila holds tightly Arya's hand and rests her head on Arya's arm, while following Arya's steps walking out of the park, her eyes still puffy, her veil clearly wet by her tears, but his chest was already a little more relieved, while on the other side Arya, Tomy with her pale face walked casually along with the steps of the couple.

“you seem too much Tom, until my wife cries like this” Arya told Tomy flatly.

“if you say it yourself, I don't have to be like this either, I just want to make sure he's on our side, or else he's the one who's going to kill you”.

Arya breathed a deep breath of Tomy's words, she was able to predict Tomy would talk to Mila about it, but she thought Tomy would talk after leaving the hospital, because he knew, Tomy would not be able to speak openly in the hospital because there was always Abel by his side, and Arya didn't expect Tomy to run away from such a hospital just to meet Mila and make sure Mila was on their side, and make sure the secret was well preserved.

“I didn't expect to have a brother like you, you even did this all just out of concern for me”. Arya said to Tomy.

“I can even do more than this” Tomy replied, while Mila still kept her head on Arya's arm while improving her heart condition.

“but at least you didn't say everything to Mila earlier, I really feel like a man in front of my wife now” Arya regrets to Tomy.

“then I have to say what?”

“tells like what I said to Mila before” Arya replied quietly, while Mila tightened her grip on Arya's hand hearing it all.

Two loyal guards stood there and saluted the three who were their masters.

“sorry sir, can we take you to the hospital,?, your face is very pale” said one of the guards to Tomy.

“aku will drive him” Arya replied

“you do not have to go to the office, your work must still be a lot after going long” said Tomy who had known Arya disappeared 3 weeks from Abel.

“you've seen my wife cry, so now I want to see what your future wife is hysterically losing her future husband” Arya smiled sarcastically at Tomy.

Tomy swallowed his saliva, his face turned pias, he could not even imagine what kind of reaction the innocent girl would have when she returned later.

Mila then glanced at Tomy, “you didn't tell Abel Tom if you met me?” asked Mila in a calmer tone.

Tomy again swallowed his saliva, “you think I can come here if he knows” replied Tomy who is still pias,

While Arya looks at Tomy's face with a winning smile.

“how are you Mil?, want to go home or go back to school?” arya asked Mila, “turning to school, I still have hours later at noon, what else I also left my class, I also left my class, surely there will be problems that I have to solve” said Mila who remembered that she left her students who were making assignments.

“I have another veil in my bag, you do not have to worry,” replied Mila who responded Arya with a nod.

At the same time that morning, 2 black luxury cars entered the grounds of a hospital, the presence of a luxury car immediately attracted the attention of hospital visitors who were crowded in the morning.

After the car stopped in front of the hospital Loby, 6 people wearing luxurious suits came out there, 4 people with black eyes, and 4 people with black eyes, tall and well-built body with a communication aid in his ear immediately took the position of protecting 2 middle-aged people who appeared very elegant, showing that they are important people from a large company. Everyone looked towards them as indeed their presence instantly became the center of attention in that hospital.

6 The man then immediately entered the hospital lobby, One of the guards immediately went to the reception desk to ask, the receptionist then served the guard's questions kindly, and, he could then see a pin in the bodyguard's suit that read AG, indicating that they were special bodyguards from the Adinata group, the receptionist saluted and led the group of 6 men to a room.

“thank you sus” said the elegant-looking middle-aged man politely at the receptionist who escorted them.

“sama-sama pak” replied the receptionist. After that, the nurse who served as the receptionist left.

The middle-aged man then directly opened the door and entered into the room with the other middle-aged man.

While their 4 bodyguards, stood guard at the door to make sure no one heard their conversation inside.

Mr. Sarman and Ms. Saniah immediately glanced at who entered the room. Mr. Sarman narrowed his eyes to confirm his conjecture, and then he took a deep breath.

“it looks like we have not met” said Mr. Sarman casually, 2 middle-aged men then approached to bed Mr. Sarman.

“I'm here to ask for your help sir, we just came empty, can not offer you anything with the help we want from you” said one of the men immediately expressed the intention of their arrival.

“What happened something in Gibran company?” ask Mr. Sarman in a flat tone while turning his eyes towards the window, while Saniah's mother who had been sitting on the chair beside the bed, Mr. Sarman tried to recognize who the 2 middle-aged men were.

“Mr Aliando has hit the drums of war, this will be a big gamble for the good name of Mr. Gibran who has been smeared, and also the big name of the Adinata” family, he said.

“What do you mean Rahman?, what war are you talking about?” asked Mr. Sarman who immediately saw the middle-aged man named Rahman with surprise, as well as the Saniah mother, he saw Rahman with a confused view.

“maybe this will be our last fight, because only a defeat that we almost certainly get from this war, after this war maybe we will have the same fate of secretary Arjun, Arjun, and those who are loyal to the other Gibran masters” Rahman said again.

“But we will keep going, this is what we can prove to the Lord Spirit of Gibran who may be looking at us right now, we are not traitors to him, we are not traitors to him, unless we are faithful to him, we are ready to risk our lives to preserve the honor of Lord Gibran which has been tarnished in the eyes of the world, only with this can we avenge Mr. Gibran's priceless kindness to us and our family.” the man said again with great meaning.

Mr. Sarman took a deep breath hearing it all, “it looks like I will see this kind of business and political fight again, but it seems like I will not be directly involved in the arena like I used to be, my daughter will replace my position later” said Mr. Sarman while glancing at Ms. Saniah, while Ms. Saniah can only swallow her saliva listening to her father's words.
