Sorry I Love You, Friend!

Meet the Johnson Devil

Aska knocked on the table while thinking. His head was filled with hundreds of possibilities to form a logical reason. Rayyan's doctor always advised Aska to make logical excuses for the theories that revolve in her brain. This is done to avoid possibilities that arise only because of emotional carry. Among all the things that revolve in his brain. There is one name that appears, the name of the person who can help him find who the owner of the number who contacted Aunt Rani.

Aska could not directly come to BIN to ask for information, he did not have that much power. Asking Hervi for help also did not give much hope. Aska must understand because Hervi is bound by the rules. Giving information about the investigation to people outside the constitution is a big mistake that could make Hervi receive a strong reprimand. Asking Papa for help is definitely not the solution, considering Papa is one of the people who consider what Aska is doing now a futile act.

The only person Aska could rely on right now was just that person. Aska stands in front of an office building in the city's elite downtown area. His eyes stared loosely at the emblem of JH Group which was plastered with a dazzling golden color. The grandeur of this building reflects the characteristics of its owner.

Areta Hadi Johnson, CEO and heir to the throne of all JH Group assets. The woman who is famous for her cold hands in managing the company plus her tough and assertive character. Of the many successes he achieved, a handful of people also knew Areta as the leader of the underground world, a world where weapons became a more recognized currency.

"How are you doing, Hani?"

"Good, good."

A tall woman and beautiful European look, came to greet Aska waiting in the lobby. "Well Aska, how are you? We have not met for a long time. The last time was five years ago," welcome Hani - Areta's assistant.

"Areta must be happy to know you're coming to visit,"

Aska pretended to be lazy. "I'm sure he'll make fun of me again."

"Hahaha, don't put it in the heart of anything Areta says. Only his mouth is spicy but his heart is kind" comforted Hani. "Oh yeah, we heard you built an architecture firm in Singapore?"

Aska nodded happily, she felt happy every time she met Hani. The woman always looks carefree, making people comfortable around her.

"Come, let's meet Areta. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you" exclaimed Hani.

Aska was sure what Hani said would not happen. As usual once Aska appeared before Areta, the first sentence she heard was a rude scorn. Already not an open secret, the woman nicknamed the demon Johnson was being high-hearted and infuriating.

"So? You finally made a big deal?" Sapa Areta once saw Aska appear in her study.

Aska glared irritatedly at the woman who was putting on a satisfied smile as if mocking him. "I didn't call you to hear reproach" Aska said.

"Sit down."

Hani went back into the room with a glass of iced coffee. "I'm sorry, Aska, I still have some work to do. Are you okay if I stay?"

Ask grimacing. I want him to say NO, but Aska can't do it.

"Areta, don't tease her" Hani's message before disappearing from behind the door.

Aska sipped her iced coffee quickly then focused on the arrogant face in front of her.

"Can you help me find out who owns this number?" Aska put a piece of paper containing the mobile number in front of Areta. The woman just stared at him flat.

"Seeing you came asking for my help, obviously if you knew what I could do."

Aska rolled her eyeballs, puffed up. He and Areta are not a good match. Both have the same temperament and arrogance and will always intersect at every meeting. The difference is, Aska is still at the level of tolerance while Areta is at the level where no one can dispute it.

Aska is known as a stubborn woman but her nature is not comparable to the arrogance of the princess Johnson. Areta's a million times more annoying. Aska and Areta meet in a rehabilitation group for children with PTSD. Along with the other children, Aska underwent rehabilitation for six months. During that time Aska also learned that above the sky there is a higher sky, Areta is an example.

"Why?"

Areta frowning. "missing? As far as I know he's dead."

Aska shook her head quickly. "No. I'm sure Bima is still alive."

"What makes you so sure?"

Aska sighed slowly. "Ignostic," he wrote. Aska knew, anyone who heard the reason still insisted that Bima - her best friend, still alive would laugh and call it ridiculous and start crazy but Aska still could not deny her heart. Her heart kept screaming hysterically, Bima was still alive and she was in danger so Aska had to find her immediately.

Areta looked at Aska sharply before reaching for her phone to contact someone. Not long after speaking, Areta looked back at Aska. "Later Rafael will contact you. Go," break up Areta and go back to her desk.

Aska took a long breath. Either because of relief or the nelangsa.

...***...

Rafael knocked on the door of the CEO's room three times, as soon as he heard the speech from behind the door, he rushed in. "Boss, I have some bad news" Rafael began his report.

Areta glanced for a moment at the person who had appeared from behind the door of her study. "What's wrong?" He asked without distracting himself from the pile of maps on the table.

Rafael puts one more map on the table, causing Areta to raise her face.

"What's this?"

"Boss, the number Aska is investigating has something to do with Ergan Barcode" Rafael explained.

Areta frowned, "Ergan Barcode?"

Rafael nodded, "owner of Barcode Corp. But," Rafael paused for a moment to confirm the expression of his master. "Barcode is just a Grek Foston doll."

Areta clucked slowly. Hearing the name of Grek Foston made his heart melt in annoyance. The name backfired for businesses in the underground world. Establishing cooperation with Grek can increase the coffers of wealth but it can be destroyed in an instant when confused with him.

Grek is a big city that supplies almost all the drugs circulating in the country. Beberapakali Areta also had business with the organization led by Grek but the two did not get further relationship because Areta is not interested in dirtying his hands in the world of drugs.

"How's the condition?" Areta leaned her body on the chair. Folding his legs, preparing to hear Rafael's explanation.

"Our target is still safe but I haven't been able to find any information about Bima. After the police raid, they tightened the guard."

"Continue monitoring, make sure our target is safe until the inauguration process is complete."

Rafael nodded in understanding. "But Ta, this is too risky. If we go too far, Grek will try to take you down."

"Prepare for Rafael's worst possibility" Areta said as a warning.

Areta clearly knows what will happen if she and Grek come into contact. He hoped it was worth what he would get. Areta had already thought of the best scenario to benefit from both sides.
