Adrian was fired

Happy Reading 😊

🌸🌸🌸

This morning the Santoso Station office was shocked by the news of the sacking of Adrian, a man who was Ferdo's right hand man, can be said to be the second person after Ferdo.

Adrian has been dishonorably discharged, so he doesn't get a dime as a severance. He left his room while enduring the tightness in his chest. Not even once did he glance at some employees who were gossiping, while down the office corridor. He continued walking as if nothing had happened, but he accidentally heard the scorn of employees who had never even mentioned his name before.

Hem, rightly said people.we will know who are friends, when we are difficult.

Just now Adrian was about to turn his body around, but he paused, after thinking for a moment. "It's better to go without saying goodbye to Ferdo and Winda. Although his dismissal was not of Ferdo's will." Adrian muttered as he continued his steps.

"Adrians!" he shouted to Adrian, and increasingly accelerated his footsteps in order to get to him. "Aww. "suddenly the right leg of Winda was slit, when the heels of his shoes were broken.

Adrian reflexes runs to catch Winda's body. "Are you okay?" ask her while helping her lover stand up. "Why should you hurry?" Adrian still helps Winda stand perfectly.

"Don't go, please! I'll try to persuade Ferdo." Winda said with a hunt, not even release the handle from Adrian's wrist.

Adrian stared intensely at Winda, and forced his smile. "You don't have to do that, because that's not Ferdo's wish... " Adrian gave a pause to say. "huft, but grandfather's actions", he continued with a huffed face while throwing a rough breath.

Winda scrunched his forehead. "Grandfather asked for it? Butwhy? Doesn't Grandpa love you so much?" Winda kept asking. He couldn't believe that his grandfather would do that. Adrian just nodded his head, Winda had contacted his grandfather, which made Adrian wait to continue his words.

Winda contacted his grandfather again, because his first phone call was not answered.

"Uh, where's grandpa, anyway?" Winda clucked in annoyance, almost just as the phone in his hand fell freely as he smashed his hand violently. "Tumben Grandpa didn't pick up the phone from me." Winda thought for a moment by propping up his chin on the phone in his hand.

"I told you, you don't have to bother to do that" he said, already uncomfortable with the cynical stares of some employees. "I'll go first." Adrian pampit without waiting for the reply Winda, as if they no longer have a special relationship.

"Wait first! Adrian... !" Winda kept shouting calling Adrian's name, but Adrian ignored him.

Winda just stared at the departure of Adrian. He was unable to do anything before he got an explanation from his grandfather. "I'm sorry Adrian. I know you need me right now, but I have to talk to Grandpa first", he said, but Adrian could no longer hear.

Ayunda left the campus in a hurry. The murderous child pinned on her made her cry without a sound. The feeling of tightness that had been in his seat, now he spilled while in the car.

"Non, I'm sorry", Tony said when he heard Ayunda's great cry. Ayunda was unmoved, she was not wanting to talk to anyone, but an exception for Ferdo. Ayunda who had been waiting for a call from Ferdo never stopped glancing at the cellphone in his hand.

"Non, please forgive me" Tony said again but slightly raised his tone.

Ayunda gave a quick glance, but she returned to her phone. "Why is Tony sorry? All of this will not happen because of Tony", he said sobbing.

"All because of Tony, Non." Ayunda frowned still sobbing, listening to Tony's words. "Replace, Non. Reina told Sherly about the non-family." Tony continued his words with a bit of regret.

Ayunda stopped crying, his attention now he was fixed on Tony's words. "Reina did it because she had already rejected it. He thinks that mas likes you" he said.

"What's? Why does Reina think that?" Ayunda demands more explanation from Tony.

"So this is all Sherly's? But how did he know that my father was connected to such a case? No one knows but brother and ... " Ayunda did not continue his words. He closed his mouth, because he could not believe if Bude Arsih could do it. "I hope it is not the actions of Bude Arsih" he said still with curiosity.

"Yes, Non. But not mad at you, right?" tony asked while glancing from the rearview in the car.

"Depending", retorted Ayunda who confused Tony, but he could not answer Ayunda's words, because a car almost grazed their car, if Tony was not swiftly evasive.

"It depends, if Tony answers honestly Yunda's question", said Ayunda with a meaningful smile.

"Yes, I will answer honestly, Non", he replied, who desperately wanted forgiveness from Ayunda.

"Did Tony like Yunda?" tanyanya to the point that made Tony jolted in shock, and almost Tony drove the car out of his lane.

"Be careful!" yelled Ayunda hysterically as the car turned to the left.

"Yes, Non. I'm sorry I wasn't focused" Tony replied, neutralizing his heartbeat.

Ayunda breathed a sigh of relief. "Other times be more careful, Mas" he said, still feeling his rapidly pumping heartbeat.

"Yes, Non. Once again forgive me, yes", said Tony who was a little messed up, when asked about his feelings for Yunda.

"Yes, yes", reply Ayunda quickly. He doesn't want to ask any more about Tony's feelings, though he's still curious about Tony's answers. Not because of his love as a lover, but because Ayunda has considered him like his own brother.

Adrian walked back and forth in his apartment. He sighed furiously while thinking of a way to get proof that the father was innocent. The real killer who was none other than his father's co-worker was gone, a few days after the incident. Although his death was unnatural, but Adrian also can not prove it.

The mother walked over to Adrian who looked frantic, when she had just come out of the room.

"Son, don't despair. Pray, ask God for guidance."

Adrian only replied with a small nod. "Thank you, Bun", he said with a forced smile. Then he remembered something. "Mother, pray also that Adrian get the evidence" he said.

"Yes, that's for sure, son", the mother replied with a smile.

Chequek.

Apartment doors are open. Ayunda appeared from behind the door with her gloomy face.

"Why?" asked the brother worriedly, when he saw Ayunda who walked without having a spirit of life.

Drrt.

Ayunda was just about to answer her sister, her phone rang.

"Sister Alfian", he said with an indescribable face, as he read Ferdo's name on his phone screen.
