Picking Up the Past

Strange Attitude

Arya had just come down from the 4th floor to get home, when she reached the lobby she met Arbi and Rika, since she returned, she had not once met Arbi. As a friend, Arya is well aware of Arbi's actions, her friend is trying to keep a distance with her to control her emotions that are sometimes difficult to control, what else as long as she goes the company becomes chaotic. For a moment their meeting felt so cold, but the presence of Rika his girlfriend Arbi made their cold atmosphere a little liquid.

When they cross paths Arya prefers to open her phone while Arbi just throw her face, but Rika greets Arya when she meets.

“hai Arya,” Rika's greeting Arya answered with her smile.

“you rarely have I seen lately” said Rika while holding Arbi's hand that continued to run until the man stopped.

“I have more activities outside Rika, so we will very rarely meet here” replied Arya kindly, while Arbi stared cynically at Arya.

“really, it looks like we will find it difficult to have a foursome lunch like it used to be with Ari”, Rika said in a familiar tone to Arya.

“It seems so, especially Arbi is quite busy now that he does not have time to go to my room anymore, whereas in the past he and Ari often disrupted my work” said Arya again who wanted to insinuate Arbi for his attitude which was considered childish for Arya.

Arya is aware that Arbi is a person who has great ambitions to advance the company, but he regrets Arbi if it only focuses on targets, clients, and other people, and so the contract left the essence of their friendship in establishing that company.

“do you guys have any problems?” rika asked while alternately looking at the faces of the 2 men. Arbi momentarily looked towards Arya, he remembered the figure of Anjani that he saw a few days ago looking for Arya.

‘ahh shit, if not as my secret weapon to destroy the creativity of the initiative, I will camp this cheap woman and chase the girl’ Inner Arbi.

Arbi then stepped away to take off Rika's hand that had been holding her.

“as you see Rika” replied Arya smiling as she left Rika standing confused alone, ‘those who have problems why even I was left behind'

Arya has returned home early on her promise to Mila, so they can spend a lot of time visiting Mr. Sarman, when Arya opens the door to her room, he found Mila checking on her student duty with a gloomy face.

Mila immediately stood up and answered Arya's greeting, she then approached Arya and kissed her husband's hand. Arya then pulled Mila's head and peeked in Mila's forehead which made Mila's eyes round instantly, Arya actually managed to make her feelings go up and down from yesterday, arya's behavior that often surprises her really makes her feel made out of pocket.

“what's the matter Mil?, you look moody now” Mila said as she looked into Mila's eyes,

Mila smiled bitterly answering Arya's question while shaking her head, “do you still think about the problem this morning?” arya asked Mila again, still looking into her eyes. Mila again shook her head and smiled bitterly to answer Arya's question, and she removed Aryan's hand from her face and then hugged her husband.

“I just want to do this kind of pervert to you” Mila said in Arya's hug that makes the man now confused.

If yesterday Mila made him confused because he was decorated when he came home, now he was confused because his wife looked lethargic when he came home.

“Arya you have promised to continue to hold my hand no matter what happens” said Mila held back the fear of the veil problem.

“iya Mil, you have also promised to continue to hold my hand no matter what happens” Arya replied to Mila while remembering the Rakarsa Cipta that will soon be destroyed in Ari's hands.

“I promise Arya, we should always be together like this yes, whatever happens later” said Mila calms her mind. “iya Mil, now you can let me go, now you can let me go, I want to change my clothes first and rest for a while before going to the hospital to see grandfather, and you can continue your work” Arya told Mila.

Haris had just gotten up from his chair and headed for the door to get out, just as he opened the door, a man walked in and pulled his hand back into the room.

“What's Rahman doing?, why did you suddenly pull my hand?” asked Haris who was astonished by Rahman's attitude.

“i don't have much time Haris, it seems like there are my bodyguards who betrayed us, he said, I have to speed up my departure abroad to meet the shareholders abroad” Rahman said seriously to Haris.

“I already know, one of our spies at home Aliando already told me” Haris replied to Rahman.

“I will leave for Malaysia tonight, and then go to east Asia, America and Europe to lobby those shareholders, maybe this will be our last meeting, he said, I don't know what Aliando is preparing for me” said Rahman who made Haris swallow his saliva instantly.

“this sacrifice really hurt Rahman, we've lost Arjun's secretary, and now you,,,”

“that is not our discussion Haris, you must immediately meet Mr. Sarman's son and ask for a sample of the child, he said, sir Sarman's son must not just anyone suspect the child is a young master of” Rahman cut in the sentence Haris.

“Okay Rahman, I will find him later in the afternoon, we must immediately confirm the sample, some people we have also sent some new samples to the hospital,” replied Haris again.

“But Rahman, What can we still trust Reny doctor?, Budi sir suspects that doctor” Haris told Rahman.

“Doctor Reny is the personal doctor of the Gibran family, he is unlikely to betray us,” Rahman told Haris again.

Haris took a deep breath to hear Rahman's words to him.he looked at the face of his friend, a friend who had fought with him for decades under the banner of the Adianata family.

“What's your plan now Rahman?” ask Haris to Rahman again.

“If I get caught, then you are next, I have met Hardi, and encourage him to really be on Aliando's side, his son's engagement will definitely be done before the shareholders meeting, he said, and it will definitely affect the shareholders that I managed to loby, but it is also good so that we know who is still loyal to the Adinata” family said Rahman who made Haris pias instantly.

“what do you mean make Hardi be on Aliando's side?”

“She has not been serious about this matchmaking, it seems she is still weighing the steps she took, Hardi is a two-faced Haris, she would be very dangerous if it were on our side, it could be that he turns away at crucial moments, it is very dangerous for us, it is better that he be on Aliando's side,”

“if the engagement occurs before the shareholder meeting, it means we will lose later at the shareholder meeting” Haris told Rahman in an disappointed tone.

“isn't this just testing the water for us, winning is our advantage, and losing is our path, which surely Aliando must get off before their son gets married, aliando's bargaining position is because Aliando is still the CEO plus shares of Hardi, if Aliando has dropped, Hardi shares will not affect the bargaining value of the child in the CEO election market later, if Aliando has dropped, and we can encourage the transfer of CEO positions without having to sell Mr. Gibran's shares to the capital market,” explained Rahman again and Haris took a rough breath hearing it.

“now you have to add your people to be able to find the young master, take as many samples as possible, and another one, make sure the sample from the son of Mr. Sarman you get I have another hunch on the son of Mr. Sarman it” said Rahman who then left Haris who was still silent with what he heard, his eyes glazed over to see Rahman's departure.

‘Pour Gibran, look at our sacrifice for you, I must be ready for the bad things that will happen to Rahman later’ his inner self.
