Early Destruction

"City, Kaivan. Are you still there?" ask someone across.

Kaivan. He wondered why the man knew his name. Then, in a soft voice he asked the identity of the interlocutor.

"I'm Prawira, Kai, your father-in-law. I was in Malang, Luna was sick since yesterday the day after," said someone who turned out to be Luna's father.

"Om Hero." Kaivan was a little nervous. "Mmm, what's Luna sick about, Om? He didn't say anything to me" he continued.

A heavy breath from across. A few seconds later, Prawira spoke again.

"Dizziness and weakness, low tension. But, it's okay, it's been checked by a doctor, it's also been given medication. I came here on purpose to handle his work, so he can have maximum rest" he said.

"Thank God it's okay. Mmm, Om, can I talk to Luna? Just for a moment" Kaivan said.

"I'm sorry, Kai, it seems that it's not right now. Luna just went to bed."

"Oh, so. Yeah, um, I'll call you later."

"Yes. I'll tell you about Luna. I'll have to call you as soon as I wake up" Prawira said.

"Yes, Om. Thank you." Thank you."

A little disappointed, Kaivan disconnected the phone. Then, he pondered and pinched the temple. Somehow not tucked into worry even though Luna was sick, it was a more domineering feeling of suspicion.

"Usually, it's just the flu he always said. Why not this time?" inner Kaivan.

At the same time, in a different place. At the Aluna Aldamaya residence, a middle-aged man was standing with his hands folded in his chest. His eyes stared intently at the princess who had been cherished all this time. For the first time, the man held a sense of disappointment.

"Aren't you thinking of us, Luna? Since childhood my mother and I have always privileged you, even to the point of ignoring Nadhea. Whatever you want, we always do. But, what's your reply?" said Prawira with high intonation.

"Sorry, Pa. I didn't do it on purpose" Luna replied in a soft voice, almost like a whisper.

"Not intentionally said? Until like this you said accidentally! I'm not that stupid, Luna!" snapped Prawira.

"I'm khilaf, Pa." Luna looked down. Her tears of divorce soaked her cheeks and lap. He regretted the mistake that now left him trapped in destruction.

It was not the answer Luna received, but rather a loud slap that landed just like that on her face. Luna looked up and looked at her father with nanar.

"Papa___" whispered Luna. He can't believe his dad actually slapped.

"That's not worth Papa's disappointment, Luna." Prawira pointed at Luna's face. "Papa does not want to know how, the important thing is that you have to solve this problem as soon as possible. Don't let this stick out! Or if not ... Papa will also cross your name off the family list. Understand!" continued.

"Pa___"

"Papa's work problem is taken care of, so you have no reason to let this problem drag on" concluded Prawira. Then he stepped away before Luna gave an answer.

After her father's body disappeared behind the wall, Luna moved while holding her cheek. If in the past, he laughed seeing a slap landing on Nadhea's face. But now, it was himself who felt the pain of the slap. In the midst of disappointment, Luna growled and condemned the situation, which she thought was very unfair.

Shortly thereafter, Luna is startled by the ringing of a cell phone. This time it wasn't Kaivan who called, it was Rega. With clenched hands, Luna received the call. He closed his mouth as the man across greeted him with a crisp laugh. Luna tried to dampen emotions so that the situation quickly improved.

"What do you want?" asked Luna after getting sick of listening to Rega's pleasantries.

"I have two options for you, choose one, yes. Calm down, the choice is not difficult," replied Rega.

"Don't fuck around!"

"No, just two. So gini, to solve the problem that yesterday you want to separate Kaivan and marry me, or you leave the company you hold to me."

"You don't run, yeah! I've given you hundreds of millions. So, I'm not going to give you__"

"No want yes it's okay, but .. I don't promise that yesterday will be safe" Rega concluded accompanied by laughter.

"Please don't bully again! Between us it's been over since you left, so don't keep teasing! You don't forget, did you, who ended this relationship?" Luna's voice tone decreased. He realized that emotions would cloud the atmosphere. That is why, he is willing to lower the ego a little.

Rega chuckled, "Very remember, but .. ah, my offer isn't too bad either. If you are willing to marry me, I will be the perfect husband. I will always love you, pamper you, and satisfy you too. Or if you give up the company more, it is not a bad choice. Om Wira is still rich, you can start a new company with his support. I promise after this I won't bother you anymore."

"I can't___"

"If you choose the first one, you only lose Kaivan. If you choose the second one, you only lose the company. But, if you don't choose both, your reputation is at stake. In the end, Kaivan and your company will be gone." Rega again denied Luna's words. This time with a cold and firm tone.

Luna was silent for quite a while. His brain was dead and could not find another way.

"Okay, since you've been having fun on my nights, I give you a little tolerance. I'll give you a week to think. If in that time you don't give me a choice, then .. I will do as I please."

A second after speaking, Rega disconnected the phone. While Luna, her body suddenly limp and she just fell down. A career fought for so long, is now on the brink of collapse. Rega, the man from the past who was once in the heart sheet, now cornered her without compassion.

Luna was convinced, whatever choice was taken, in the end Rega was the most profitable. Since he was a cunning man, it was impossible to act that simple. Actually, the only way is to destroy Rega and all the evidence he has. But how? Let alone to twist the situation, knowing the position of Rega alone Luna can not.

The new clock's needle shows the figure of eight in the morning. However, Kaivan and Kennan are already in the shopping center of Bandung City. They buy a little bit of necessities before going to work. Incidentally, the shoot started from eleven o'clock.

Kennan was busy picking out the parfume, whereas Kaivan was just stepping flat beside him. This time, Kaivan didn't much choose—asal take it for granted. Since Luna had no contact until this morning, Kaivan's thoughts and feelings were further confused. That's why, he does not bother with groceries—an important can.

"Kai! Kai!" call Kennan a little hastily, even while patting Kaivan on the shoulder.

"Hmm?" kaivan replied without looking.

Since there was no answer from Kennan's mouth, Kaivan turned a glance. His clear eyes narrowed when staring at the expression of his best friend who was far from good words.

"What's wrong?" ask Kaivan.
