Picking Up the Past

Wouldn't Misrecognize

On a clear morning that day, the luxury office building owned by Adinata group was blown away by a request by the board of commissioners to immediately report some of the company's activities that were considered problematic, activities that have even been carried out more than 20 years ago are still requested to be reported immediately. All directors of the company are made in a fog to meet the request of the board of commissioners. Because there are many documents that must be prepared, not to mention they also have to reopen old documents that have been piled up among many other documents.

Aliando, who was sitting in his office chair, stood up after hearing the news from his secretary. He clutched hard the documents he held. Many times he rubbed his face rough hearing the news, ‘do they know what I've been doing all this time?, this will be much harder than I imagined his inner’ with a rough breath.

“have you set the schedule for my meeting with Hardi?” aliando asked his secretary.

“already sir, your meeting and Mr. Hardi will be done next week, because there is no suitable time for this week's meeting, this week, your schedule and Mr. Hardi many are clashing” explained the secretary politely and head down.

“Sial, this engagement must be done immediately to give a hard warning to the board of commissioners, I will make the shareholders no longer believe in them”, said Aliando held back his anger, he then sat down and rubbed his face back violently, and then told the secretary to leave with the order of his hand.

On the other side of the building, Arnes was sitting in the lobby of the 8th floor, he was holding his cell phone while opening his social media, he was engrossed in seeing various photos of his female friends, including photos of Anjani on the girl's social media account. When he began to feel bored with it all, he then remembered Mila, the figure of the girl who until that second still made him curious to feel the warmth of the girl's body. His obsession is very difficult to stem, the girl he tried to conquer all those years is now even away, plus the status of the girl who has been married to another man, as if to make his manly soul challenged to have the woman.

He searched for Mila's social media account with a new social media account he created, many times he searched for the account, but Mila's account was not found at all. ‘what he changed his account id, he said, or she deleted her social media account, ahh sial’ Inner Arnes growled annoyed.

“Mil, you really challenge me now, do you think you can run away from me like this, I've had enough patience all this time, now I will get you in my own way” muttered Arnes slowly permeating his anger and curiosity on the figure of Mila.

Arnes took a deep breath when he saw Haris walking near the Loby, he then stood up and saluted Haris. “morning om” greeted Arnes politely. “morning Arnes, your collision is here, shouldn't you be in your company now?” ask Haris who was surprised by the presence of Arnes there.

Arnes then approached Haris with a smile, “there are some things that I have to take care of here om, I want to develop some new product concepts in my company, I want to, I would like to meet some directors today to ask for their support in order to get additional capital for the new product” explained Arnes politely.

“you are really seriously working, I am happy for you, you inherited your father's unyielding nature” Haris said with a smile and slapped Arnes' shoulder.

“I see some people are quite busy today, including om too, why om arrived on this floor?, I very rarely see om here” asked Arnes curiously.

“the board of commissioners asked for some old reports, so I was looking for some reports in my old workroom, fortunately my replacement in that room still kept it”, Haris said as he looked at the stack of documents he held. “the board of commissioners asks for an old report?” asked Arnes confusedly.

Haris then smiled, “om must take care of this first Arnes, this document must be sent immediately to the members of the board of commissioners” said Haris while leaving Arnes who stared at his back with a face full of question marks. ‘was this the beginning of the war that dad said back then?, or did the war really start?’ his inner.

Haris immediately entered the elevator to go up to his room, when he reached the 15th floor where his room was, he immediately walked into his room while greeting some employees he met, he said, just as he opened the door, a bodyguard came in with him.

“sorry sir, I annoy you so early” said the bodyguard while saluting Haris.

"report” peech Haris again.

“His name is Arya ramadana, he is a son-in-law in the family of Rakarsa, he works as a leader in the construction company 3A Sahabat, as well as being the leader of all the architecture there, he has a brother named Tomy radesmara, he has a brother named, they are from the middle Javanese master, his father a farmer and his mother a housewife, besides there is nothing interesting from the boy” explained the bodyguard to Haris.

“Rakarsa's family-in-law, can the family still be trusted again after they betrayed Arjun's secretary?, is that person really on our side” said Haris full of anxiety while remembering the face of Saniah ma'am.

“i wonder why Rahman still believes in them” continued Haris again.

“how can you get a sample of the child without being caught?” said Haris again with his tone.

“can sir, I will send my man to it” said the bodyguard.

“have you counted all these company bodyguards you can trust?” tanya Haris is full of emphasis.

“From my calculation there may be 15 people, the number is very little of the total of all the bodyguards who number around 80 people, we will definitely lose if we have to compete physically”

“15 people, are they all trustworthy?” search for Haris again.

“i am not sure sir, because one of them has betrayed Mr. Rahman” replied the bodyguard again.

Haris took a deep breath for a moment. “how can I trust you?” ask Haris again.

The bodyguard's eyes immediately glazed over Haris' question, as if he did not accept the question asked for him.

“live my son and wife were saved by Mr. Gibran, and now I am ready to give my life for Mr. Gibran's son, my young master” said the bodyguard with a firm tone against his feelings that felt tight because of Haris' question.

“I believe you, now add your member with a new person, get immediately a sample of the daughter-in-law of the Dakarsa family, another one, give the sample to the doctor Reny at Adinata Hospital, and give the sample to him, tell him it's a special sample, no one should know other than him,” orders Haris while standing up to return to his desk.

“well sir, I also feel what you feel, the boy's eyes and also the look on his face, I will never mistakenly recognize my young master” said the bodyguard while saluting with his head and then leaving the room Haris, while Haris stared at the bodyguard's back with a swallow of saliva. ‘all the ugliness of Aliando will be open, hopefully the board of commissioners can open all the funds that he smuggled into the offshore account that's his inner’.
