PRISONER OF LOVE LOVE THE WIDOWER

Part 9's. The real story

Derrick POV.

Brother Lam sat in front of me after Anita and her mother left. This old man is a friend of Richard Leung, my boss in Hong Kong, the father of Philip Leung, who now leads the company, but he's actually someone who can be said to be like a brother to me. Maybe because our life story may sound a little similar but from a different side.

I divorced my wife, because my wife's family never thought I was worthy enough to be their daughter-in-law. My background is just a kid with a dad I never knew who. My mother gave me to an orphanage, to be adopted by a kind family.

Old husbands who love me like their own children, I get scholarships because I study well. Then work and have a pretty good career. At that time I met Cicilia, my ex-wife, the family's son in Hong Kong, Cicilia who stubbornly forced us to get married. It works? Initially it worked, although over time the family's ruse made us misunderstand.

I gave up, three years later we got divorced, feeling the pressure I was getting to take it off got me completely cornered. My daughter is with my wife's family, but our relationship is still good. He spends his holidays here, he's 18 now, he's in college.

When I was at my lowest I lost my family. I met Brother Lam, who had gone through how his family disapproved of his relationship with the girl he loved, giving me a new perspective so that I could rise again. I called him Brother for all his advice.

“So she's Brother?” I've heard Brother Lam tell me she has a child in Jakarta. Who does not want to be recognized by his family. A woman who is his true love, before finally he had to marry a wife determined by his family, then they divorced. And he finally had a second wife.

“Iya, my only real daughter now. But you saw for yourself he hates me.”

“Don't you have a daughter from your first wife, Theresa?” Theresa, the first daughter of this Lam brother was once infatuated with me. Brother Lam let out a long breath.

“I have a suspicion Theresa wasn't my son for years. You know he looks a lot like his stepfather.” This family matchmaking arranged by Brother Lam's family seemed to be very chaotic. All I know is that their marriage ended up only lasting 5 years. And they had two children, one daughter and one son. With his second wife, he had two sons.

“You sure Brother..”.

“I thought I was thinking too much. But my ex-wife has admitted it herself.” I was quite surprised to hear that. Brother Lam's first daughter is quite troubled. “My life is fucked up. My daughter is not my son, my biological daughter calls me Uncle, meet me she is lazy.”

“But at least your daughter has a good life with her mother.”

“You're right, at least he has a stable life, even though he blames me for everything. I think I deserve her to blame.”.

“Life has its own difficulties Brother.”

“Ya, you're right.” She's quiet. “If you see my daughter is in trouble, please help her.”

“Don't worry Brother, I'll consider it my own sister here.”

It was a meeting two weeks ago, after which I didn't see him again. But now I catch the shadow of that girl again in front of me. He was with a guy at a bar, when I was with my colleague. She was drinking alone with a guy I thought was her age. It seemed that he was quite happy, from a distance I realized he seemed to be drinking quite a lot, his overly cheerful movements said he was a bit tipsy.

“You noticed who Bro is?” Erwin, my colleague who is a lawyer is curious to see me focus on watching someone so much.

“No, just a girl I know..”.

“Short haired beautiful girl who looks tipsy it.” He followed my direction.

“Hmm..” Just then he left his desk and before long the man took something in his pocket and put it in the glass he left behind. Damn guy, he put drugs in his drink.

“Hey, where are you going.”Erwin asked because I stood up, wanting to get to him.

I hurried, right there the man took her home, it won't take long for her to lose consciousness. Erwin followed behind me. I almost lost them, they almost got on the elevator and closed the door.

“Hold the elevator!” Luckily, I screamed for the man to hold the door.

“You! Don't you dare take her!”

“Pak Derrick?” Anita seems to still be conscious enough to recognize me. “Why, we just want to go home.”

“This guy put drugs in your drink. You come with him home where!”

“You're crazy! I didn't put anything in! Who are you suddenly appearing to interfere with people's affairs.”

“I saw it too! He's obviously put drugs in your drink.” Anita tangent now, she's back and forth looking at us. Who to trust. But I won't wait for his doubts. I checked and pulled his hand out of the elevator.

“Anita come with me! And You! Go before or I'll kick you!” The man left immediately after being threatened. While this girl absentmindedly looked at me, with whom she had gone. Wasn't she taught to go with the person she trusted to go to the pub.

“Why are you so stupid, go with such an unbelievable person!” I scolded him now, he should be old enough to not be this stupid.

“He is just an office friend, we have known for a long time. He entered what?”

“How do I know, dope, pera*ngsang drug possible, which you obviously have taken everything.”

"No way..." He shook his head, laughing, but he wavered from tipsy. I have to block his hand now.

“I saw it myself! Let's take you home now, ..” She was still dazed looking at me, this girl did not seem to be drinking, I had to drive her home immediately. “I'm going home now. Bro Erwin, I anter him first. Tell the others I first.”

“Oke.” I pulled him into the elevator. Call the driver to take the car to the lobby, wait for this girl to bring the car.

“You brought a car?”

“Ehmm...car, I guess .. I, um... bring it, parking where?” You're drunk, he can't be concerned anymore. Park wherever he has to try hard to remember. “B2,zone F, Advanza white.”

“Mana key.” He grabbed her into his bag, and gave me the key. I pressed B2, while he was rendering to elevator “Pak Derrick , I took a taxi only.” Basic drunk, where there is a drunk girl riding his own taxi, taken where by the taxi driver he does not know. I don't care what he says. It was not long before he found his car.

“Log.” I made sure he was sitting in the passenger seat, putting up his seat belt. I called my driver to bring the car to follow me. “Where is your address.” He looks tendered. He's collapsed?! “Nita!” I shook his body, I patted him on the cheek, damn it! The man must've put some dope in his drink. “Job works...”

I checked the bag, maybe I can find the ID, Sim. There, address but follow Bekasi, I've heard he lives in an apartment in Jakarta, this must be his old address. What time is it, his father must know his address, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock in Homgkong, where maybe Brother's phone turns on at two o'clock. So what do I do...

I took a breath and I had to bring him home. Her mother didn't call? Maybe I'm asleep too.

I called my driver to bring the car home. With the help of the driver, he entered the house. This girl's gonna wake up thinking she's been abducted by aliens tomorrow.

Whatever, I sent the message and the full story to his father so he knew his daughter was with me. Let's see how he reacts when he wakes up tomorrow.
