Steven has a new habit. Go to his secret CCTV room. Then watch the cctv area where Clara was seen to be active there. All the residents of the house who do not know the secret room, will think he is only in his room.
Arnold came to him after work. Staring concerned Steven who was silent sat inside the sofa of his room. There's a lot of cctv tapes in his room. That's what Steven is watching right now while eating his dinner for interest. He ate only to fill his stomach so as not to hurt.
"When are you going to do this?"
Steven didn't answer, Arnold sighed. He who was standing in the doorway is now sitting next to Steven, watching the tampa tape.
"Why don't you look for him? It's easy for you to find it with all the media you control in Indonesia."
"Then make him hate me?"
"Don't you have a problem with that? Half the time your relationship with her isn't there just hatred for her?"
"Right, but I know he doesn't hate me personally. Clara hates what I do and the world that surrounds me. He doesn't like dirty." Steven said.
"Well, come to think of it, he's a rarity. Where every woman will gladly be in your grasp, but she chooses to go."
"Of course, Claraku is different. That's why he's so valuable." Steven said proudly.
"Then what are you going to do now? How long are you going to wait like this? Clara could have changed her feelings for you over time. Especially Jun with him."
Steven turned his head, then chuckled in a strange way. His eyes looked like he had a plan in his head.
"Do you know of their existence?" ask Arnold.
"Of course not." she replied lightly, "I'm sure in a moment. Aston will find it for me." he continued.
"Didn't he help Jun?"
"Yes, but he'll help me. He knew his decision was wrong. He has been wrong to equate me with her."
Arnold turned his head, looking at the cynical smile from Steven. Arnold sighed as he did not understand what Steven meant. He got up and left Steven alone.
When he came down, he met Billi. "There's progress?" tanyakanya.
"Mr Jun is very smart to hide and hide Miss. We have been through various big cities. Indonesia is so vast, we've paid hundreds of people and spread all over the city."
"Add people to explore a small town or village. Jun basically likes tranquility."
.
Entering the last day of the week set by Jun. Clara would not have to answer. Jun picked her up as usual and they would stop by to eat or drink something before heading home.
"Why are we going to the hotel?" ask Clara.
"The restaurant here is quite famous, I want to try it." Jun replied.
Arrive on the second floor where the restaurant is located. Clara was surprised by what was there. The restaurant was rented, arranged in such a way. Many white and red roses are beautifully arranged.
Clara turned to Jun who had been staring at her. "What's this?"
"Surprise," Jun replied with a bright smile.
Clara is down to the middle where two benches are already on the grid. At the table there is a light snack dish. Clara was hesitant and afraid. To date, he is not sure what to do.
"You know it's time? Honestly, I never said this to any woman. You were the one who first made me fall in love this deep." Jun paused for a moment, hesitating slightly continuing when he saw Clara's response. "I know you still can't decide, but I want certainty. Clara, I'll stay away and leave you if you want to come back. But if not, then let's live here and marry me."
"Me ... married?" Clara was surprised. What does Jun mean by getting married. Clara is not sure but she suspects that the desire to get married arises because Jun wants to tie her up. I don't know why Clara was so scared.
"Jun .. married too_"
"It's to protect you too, we don't know when they'll find us. Unless you want to come back. You can reject me."
Clara bowed, looking at her clutched hand on the table. Thinking of marriage, she remembered Steven who always said he wanted to marry her. But he never answered. His mind is mixed. He just wants to marry the person he loves. How could she possibly marry Jun?
"I .. I need time_"
"There's no time, Aston's men started to move. Aston has a wider network. He'll find us soon. Aston ... will drag you back to their world." Jun cut.
"As ... An aston? But how? I mean, he hated me from the start."
"Yes, I think he changed his mind because of something. Who knows what else he means by his actions."
Clara was beginning to worry. He really wanted to see Steven, make sure he was okay. But if he has to go back, he doesn't want that. He hated to realize what Aston and Steven were doing that helped him. He feels guilty to everyone even if he does nothing. Keeping the secrets of someone's crimes makes Clara depressed.
"I'm .. I'll follow your way. If they marry, they won't take me. I'll do it."
Jun smiled widely, he got up and hugged Clara tightly. In contrast to the happy Jun, Clara instead shed tears. He thought about how Steven would feel if he knew he was going to marry someone else. Clara was well aware of how Steven was so obsessed and loved her. Always protect her and sincerely take care of her.
"Don't cry, you'll be fine. I promise I won't touch you without your consent. I'll wait for you." Jun whispered.
Clara is sad and moved, she also feels guilty for Jun for continuing to burden her. He felt Jun was very sincere yet he could not return his feelings.
.
Aston was watching how painstakingly Sindy was taking care of their son. Since the presence of their baby, Aston so often smile. Be gentle with Sindy and treat her like a wife.
"Sir, our men have found their location."
Not only Aston, Sindy also turned her head. "What's that about Clara?" ask with enthusiasm.
"Where are they?" ask Aston.
"City B in province S. According to the information he got from his co-worker, he was preparing for the wedding."
"It can't be, Clara won't be happy. Kenpa he did that? Married to Jun?"
"I think it's Jun's move to keep the girl. I don't know what the trick is so the girl agrees."
"When?" ask Sindy again.
"That .. we don't know yet. They both kept the date a secret. They just do the blessing, not the reception. That's the information to date." said Aston's assistant when Sindy asked for an answer from him.
Aston told his assistant to leave. Sindy looks worried, making Aston reach for her face and kiss her. Sindy just resigned and as much as possible retaliated. He does not want to provoke anger even though Aston has changed a lot.
"What if we get married too? Will you be happy?" Sindy was riveted, their distance was still very close and now she was on the lap of Aston.
"Me ... married?" repeated Sindy.
"Married, I'll make a massive reception. Your parents can come."
"My parents?" Sindy was glued again. Given his father's treatment, also his mother's indifference since making his own decisions. Sindy had little doubt as to whether her family would see her in a respectful or insulting manner. After all, his parents still hold tight Eastern customs. Although he did everything in order for Aston to save the company, Sindy was still hesitant to meet them.
"Wouldn't you?"
Sindy flinched, from her expression and tone of speech, Sindy knew Aston concluded she was resisting. Sindy knew Aston was most enraged by his refusal. So he hurriedly shook his head.
"I .. I'm just worried my parents hate me now. I ... dare not meet them."
Aston softened again, chuckled softly and gave a butterfly kiss. He grabbed Sindy's nape and pulled her into his arms.
"How could they hate the child who saved their whole life? Do you know how scared you are of poverty?" aston said in a derogatory tone and sounded threatening.
Aston stroked Sindy's head gently, but instead of being calm, Sindy was frightened. Until their son cries, then he has a reason to break away.
.
Steven got an address from Aston via message. He smiled and immediately rushed to have Billi prepare the plane. He wanted to fly straight to that small town.
"Why are you preparing so many weapons?" arnold asked as he saw Carlos prepare a suitcase of weapons and put it in the car.
"This is the great sir's command." he replied.
"I'm sure Pixu will protect his son, so I also need to iron it." Steven came up from behind him.
"As for the problem here, Billi and Carlos will come with me" Steven exclaimed before leaving Arnold in the car.
When entering the plane, Steven was surprised by the presence of Aston and Sindy. Steven looked at Aston with a look full of ridicule before sitting next door.
"Don't get me wrong, son, Sindy can be useful in persuading your girl."
"Curtain! What reason is that? You're falling heh?" tease Steven. "Tampa y'all I'll be able to bring him back, so don't worry." Steven continued.
"Oh, tell that to the man who cried like a child to me, who all the time stared at the screen to see the woman who dumped him."
"He didn't dump me shit! Shut the fuck up if I don't want to throw it out!" steven's wrath began to ignite.
Aston laughed out loud. Sindy turned to him, looking at him in silence to observe the expression of the man by his side. Because for the first time he realized that Aston and Steven's relationship seemed to have changed. Not just co-workers who use each other.
"Why, hmm?" whisky Aston.
"No, I think the rumors about him are true."
"Rumors?" reset Aston, extend his hand and play in Sindy's hair.
"Hmm, the rumor that Steven could make other people he wanted to be loyal and loyal to him. I first saw it on his 3 best friends. Then Jun and the rest of the subordinates were close to him. Now I see you too" said Sindy.
Steven chuckled softly. "I'm not like that, I just have the ability to judge people well. Who is the friend and who is the opponent. If you're right, Clara won't walk away from me."
A sudden silence was created between them when Steven said it in a stark sad tone. Even Aston looked at him concernedly.
"He didn't leave you. Believe me, she's just an immature, immature girl. Jun's presence becomes a stepping stone for him to take the opportunity to run away without realizing the consequences of his actions. His mind is too simple. From the first moment I knew her, I could see that Clara was just a kind-hearted obedient girl. He hates injustice, hates criminals. If it wasn't for his father, I'm sure he would have chosen to be a lawyer. In the past, when I was in school with him, he always said he would be a lawyer and defend people whose rights were unjustly usurped and punish criminals. Unfortunately, he's in love with you. The one who is slowly breaking down and trampling on his beliefs and principles."
"Tromp on your word!" Steven was a little emotional, he threw his sharp gaze.
"But since everything has changed, also all the things that Clara has experienced." Sindy looked back at him, "I think Clara is a little more receptive to your world. It's just that, in such a volatile state, Jun came at the right time." he continued.
"So this is Jun's fault?" chirps Aston.
They came back straight ahead. "Not really, I'm sorry but .. it's all the fault of all of us, including me who ever disrupted the relationship between the two of you." said Sindy in a regretful tone.
"Unfortunately I don't care, she's the weak one. The world is hard, not as beautiful as he imagined" Aston said.
"Shut your mouth, old man. My girl is not weak." Steven said.
The argument continued between the two men. Mutual insinuations and ridicule. Instead of getting angry, it seems Aston is enjoying how Steven will curse and curse at him. She felt a warm feeling that had been missing from her heart all this time. Sindy who had been watching him since earlier was stunned for a very long time. Somehow, there is a sense of relief and pleasure when seeing an Aston like this. Makes her smile conscious.
