The Charm Behind the Mist

Leave.

~Happy Reading~

Jekob and Sapta remained silent, without speaking. They could feel what his boss felt after hearing what Mr. Biantra had told him. "You can go home after you drive me to the apartment." Said Aaric then leaned his back to calm his struggling heart.

When he arrived at the apartment, Jekob did not want to listen to his boss' request. He continues to come down with Aaric and asks Sapta to return to Sero himself. "Jekob, I want to be alone. Go home with Sapta." Said Aaric, as he watched Jekob go down with him.

"Mr doesn't need to see me. Let's just say, I'm not in the apartment. I won't get out of the guest room if you don't want to see me." Said Jekob did not want to budge and listen to his boss' request. His previous experience with Aaric made Jekob unwilling to leave his own boss.

Aaric looked at it seriously and started to get emotional. "If it's because of this, you want to fire me, it's okay. Just don't ask me to leave you alone tonight. Let me just be in the guest room." Said Jekob slowly and hoped his boss understood his point.

He had seen Aaric sick before, so he was unwilling to leave his own boss after what had just been experienced. Aaric walked into the elevator without saying anything to prevent Jekob. He understood what Jekob meant, stayed with him tonight.

Upon entering his apartment, Aaric immediately went into the room to soak his body in the bathtub to reduce the tension he was feeling. He was trying not to think of anything that had just happened. The same thing was done by Jekob in the guest room. After that, she went out into the kitchen to make a warm drink for him.

"Jekob, please make hot chocolate for me. If you want, make it for you too. I put it all there." Said Aaric fresh out of the room in a t-shirt and shorts, pointing at the kitchen set where he kept the hot chocolate sachet.

Jekob did his boss' request with a slightly relieved heart, because he was willing to talk to him. Though Jekob thought, his boss would not go out of the room to meet him. 

"Jekob, do everything as I tell you. Nothing has changed. As for Gungun, you hand him over to Mr. Hutama and let our lawyer accompany Gungun. We'll help him as much as we can." Say Aaric while waiting for hot chocolate made by Jekob.

"What about Mr. Biantra, sir?" Jekob asked quietly and hesitantly, remembering what Mr. Biantra did before they parted ways.

"I'm going to go see Recky. Later after meeting and talking to Recky, we'll call him." Said Aaric, as he was going to talk to his sister about what he was going to do to their Mama and her family.

"Jekob, I'm going to take the jet, because there's a place I'm going to before I go to Sydney." Aaric explains his walk to Jekob, in order to take care of his departure. He wanted to solve the problem with his family, in order to manage the others.

Elsewhere; Mr. Biantra went back inside the house, after seeing Aaric's car leaving their yard. He ignored the door that was split open, straight into his room. As a father saw the departure of his son for the second time, it made his heart torn and sick.

Some time later, Mr. Biantra came out of the room while pushing a suitcase in his hand and a bag on his shoulder. Bu Biantra was surprised to see that, then told the security who was tidying the door of the house, to leave them out.

"You haven't heard what I've said all along, because you never thought of me as a husband. Aaric has opened my eyes, it turns out that you and your Papah have been using me all this time to be able to repay your heartache to the Hutama family."

"Now you finish what you've been doing. I don't take part in any of your evil plans. You feel your treasure is able to control and control many people, right? Keep going on that and may you and your family be happy." Said Mr. Biantra and then wanted to leave the house.

"You think I'm gonna let you go with all the things I gave you?" Bu Biantra was emotional, hearing what her husband said. She did not expect her husband to be able to fight her after decades of always doing what he asked.

"All the cards and keys I put in the room. You can take it and wear it as much as you can. You never learn, you stay in the past to fight for something false. You don't see the kid who left the house with no money from you, still alive today? Moreover, I am old and poor across this world for decades? I can still work to eat and drink."

"You're still thinking about your treasure, when a child doesn't know where it is. Now either he's alive or he's dead. You never thought that he could end his life after you wanted to? When you asked her to get married, she almost threw herself into the lake. Thankful that I came in time. You never think about it let alone know about it, do you?" Said Mr. Biantra seriously, because of the anxiety of the state of Recky.

"As Recky said, let your treasure lead you to the pit. I I'm going to go find my two sons and apologize from them, for being a bad parent to them. Maybe they'll forgive me and they'll take me to the burrow." Mr. Biantra said firmly, but his heart was sad.

After seeing Aaric's departure, Mr. Biantra set his heart on leaving the house and all the luxuries he had obtained all this time. A lot of sweat and energy has been poured into raising the Biantra company. But everything was meaningless, as he looked at the eyes of his son who was staring at him without being able to define its meaning. Either he hates, is angry or is affectionate. How to leave for the second time from home, realize him as a father who failed.

After coming out in the yard, Mr. Biantra sat in the post without talking to the security who was quietly sculpting. They do not know and are confused to see Mr. Biantra who is usually friendly and invite them to talk just silently. They want to ask, maybe Mr. Biantra needs something, not dare.

Not long after that an online car arrived at the gate that was being repaired. Mr. Biantra stood up and put his suitcase into the trunk and got into the car. He only looked for a moment into the courtyard of the house, then looked out at the street in front.

Some time later, the car stopped at the bus terminal outside the city. Mr. Biantra paid and got out of the car. He picked up the suitcase the driver took out of the trunk and walked to a night bus ticket to buy a bus ticket for him.

Mr. Biantra believed, when he saw Aaric's face asking for his phone number. He'll find his sister and call her. So he decided to leave everything.

When he was sitting on a night bus to Malang, Mr. Biantra damaged one of the sim cards commonly used for business and also known by his family his wife. Because he no longer needed it after arriving at his parents' house.

Mr. Biantra bowed silently and prayed for the journey and safety of his two sons. There was hope in his heart to wait for a call from his eldest son, in order to know the state of his youngest son.
