THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
5. Lightning news!
Mutual standing in a mansion. Wait, it seems like he knows this mansion.
True, this was his mansion after he took over the company. Soon, he'll have the company and be president too. The knowledge that he took over the company where did it come from?
Muta stood at the door of the mansion, faced with a teenage girl dressed in a shabby white uniform. His hair was tangled and his uniform dirty. The teenager's face was grim and not once did the girl lift her gaze to Reksa.
Mutual heard himself asking, “What did you say earlier?”
The girl looked down for a long time, before raising her face. The new mutual can clearly see the face of the teenager in front of him. His eyes were round black, his lips were pale, his nose was small, his cheeks were still filled with fat. But that sweet face was set aside due to its dark aura.
“I a–”
Ringgg~
Mutual jerks awake. A cold sweat drenched his back, but his mind focused onto the contents of his dream.
The girl is the same girl, with whom she hugged the night she was beaten (in a dream). Maybe lover?
Mutuals feel that's not true.
She thought, why did she have to wake up when she was about to find out the answer?
Muta dropped his body back on the bed, not dizzy with his clothes wet with sweat.
Could it be that he will continue to be haunted by this dream next?
But the incident at the bar made Reksa fifty percent sure that this dream might not be an ordinary dream. Although he did not believe in the supernatural, it was because he had never experienced and met such an event.
What would the dream tell him?
Who is that teenage girl?
No. gabe.
He can't wait like this. With determination, Muta wakes up and opens his notebook and picks up a ballpoint pen.
His hands moved carefully making lines. Every now and then he was silent to remember the shadow in his dream before continuing to draw. An hour later, he finished the picture.
On the paper, a cute girl without a smile was imprinted.
Mutual nodded in satisfaction. It was fortunate that his talent was useful in times of emergency like this.
The office that day was off, so Mutual did not bother preparing to leave. He just prepared the paper to send to Joe's home address.
“Search that person.”
Joe, who was at home, received a package of documents containing pictures, held the phone and could not say anything for a long time.
His boss is starting to suck again. Oh, Joe, you should have known about this.
“Who's this, Sir?”
“Entah.”
Pardon you?
“Name?”
“Which way I know.”
Joe clenched his mouth while staring at the ceiling. “Maybe you have information about this person one or two..”.
“If I have already told you. If you know where I might ask you to look for it!”
“...baik.”
“No need to rush. Tell me as soon as there is information about this.” finally his boss gives waivers.
“I understand.”
***
Mutual rereads the Deanita family's information that morning on his desk. After checking in twice, she confirmed that before her parents died, Deanita was an only child. So that fierce guy wasn't Deanita's brother at all.
But Deanita's disappearance along with the man adds to the possibility of the two getting to know each other. Reksa decides to cancel his plan of pulling Bintara into the net.
The documents are fed into a paper grinding machine, Muta watches her paper crumble before she returns to focus on the computer screen. At that moment his phone clinks.
Incoming message from Ame. Who's Ame? One of the women who will accompany her lonely night today.
Stopping his job, Reksa immediately called Ame. The incident he had experienced these few days really made him more depressed than the project he had been working on. He better refresh first.
“Iya dong, why? Money you love is not enough how?”
“Hahaha, your mouth is very naughty, if I condu–”
the tok tok tok.
Usually, if someone wants to enter, in addition to his assistant and secretary, someone else will inform his arrival first through the intercom. His assistant had already delivered him breakfast and snacks for this morning. So it must be Joe.
“Log.”
When Joe came in, he saw his boss talking to a woman on the phone. His words were embarrassing, it really made him want to vomit. But what a pity, this job required him to witness the most humiliating side of his boss. Furthermore, his face should always be expressionless.
“Iya sweet. Darling, mmuahh.”
“...” Joe waits until his boss puts down his phone before handing over the documents he dug up all night.
Mutual accepted it and read the title. Suddenly his eyes opened wide and looked at Joe like he was looking at a magical creature.
The information in his hand was no longer false was the information about the girl in the picture he sent. He didn't expect Joe would be able to find him in a day's time last night!
Looking at the eye bags on her very stark face, Muta suddenly felt guilty.
“This time you can have two days off.”
Hearing that, Joe instantly brightened his face. The tone that came out of his mouth sounded even more sincere. “The name of the woman you sent the picture to is named Lily Tiara. She works as a waitress at a nightclub. Lily was out of work for almost a year. He's back at work at the same place only six months ago.”
“....?” Muta frowned. Reading Lily's biodata information, Reksa read that this woman's age is equivalent to her.
“She's 26 years old?”
“True once.”
But the girl in the dream is still a teenager? Mutual checked the picture of Lily that the hidden camera took. The woman was similar to the teenage girl in her dreams, but her facial lines looked more mature. Although similar, this woman is somewhat different.
“Does he have a sister, or a twin brother for example?”
“As far as I can find, she has an older brother. But the relationship between the two is not harmonious at all."
Mutuals hear it while sweeping away any information in it. Suddenly a strange feeling clutched his chest. He turned to the last page.
There, she saw a piece of the picture where Lily was hugging the baby. He could not see the full image of the baby's face, as the baby's face was still wrinkled with redness his baby's eyes were completely newborn.
Staring at Joe who gives a look as if saying ‘your guess is right.’
Joe opened his mouth “Lily gave birth to a daughter three years ago.”
“....” The mutual has not yet reacted. “This woman is....,”
“Pak.” Joe seemed like he wanted to say something despicable but was held back. “Lily Tiara was your one-night partner at Hotel Grandi four years ago.” from the start looking, Joe guessed his boss was interested in the women in the picture. Of course the first one he checked was his list of former boss pairs before this. I didn't think he'd find it right away. If not, how could the information be obtained so soon.
“....”
It was like hearing the sound of a bomb exploding above his head. Print sentence read ‘PARTNER ONE NIGHT, ‘BORN BABY’, ‘DAN FOUR YEARS AGO’, like dancing on his head. He did not need to guess whether this baby belonged to him or not. The teenage girl who came to him in a dream had a face similar to Lily's. The shape of the teenage girl's lips as she said the last sentence in her dream suddenly became clear.
A.your son.
Surprised, Reksa said nothing. His hands were placed on his forehead, his figure just like when he was about to face his relatives and was forced to kneel in the crowd.
The understanding Joe chose resignation, though he wondered, is having a child so surprising? With a lifestyle like his boss who although not often, but still counted routine, can be said this is a mistake that can be guessed.
Thinking of his boss being young and still enjoying his life, it might be natural to feel unprepared to have children.
At the door Joe remembered something and stopped.
“Pak, there's one more thing.”
Muta raised her face without a sound and just stared at Joe. As if saying that what he said was not important at all, his two-day holiday will be off. It scared Joe for a moment. But he thinks this information is important.
“I got the news that Lily Tiara had a cesarean delivery four years ago. Last week, he was admitted to the hospital due to complications from his operation. due to overwork before recovering and being a long-term illness, I..” do not know how he is doing now.
Mutual just silence. His eyes stared into the empty space and Joe did not understand what was on his boss' mind at the time. After Reksa waved his hand, Joe took a breath and walked out of the room.
Holiday's safe.
Joe silently shook his head. It's so bad that girl named Lily. Hopefully the operation goes well.
