The Destiny 2: Extraordinary Love

She (mom) knows it

A man in his thirties and older, appeared to kneel before Alex who was focusing on reading the sheets of papers containing evidence provided by the man.

Alex carefully read them one by one, not a single word escaped his eyes.

The man looked like someone who was focused on finding a needle between piles of dry hay.

“Where did you get this evidence?” ask Alex.

In the sentence of his question, there was actually a trap that Alex deliberately threw on the man who was kneeling before him.

“I, myself president.” replied the man, he is one of the members of the management team who has a lot of involvement in new projects.

Alex smiled cynically, the man had gotten into his trap, Alex thought.

“Who's your name?” ask Alex.

“Na—my name? You asked my name for what the president is? Do you really want to fire me? President, I'm innocent, I was just made a scapegoat by the manager of the management team. You can read it yourself from the evidence I gave you.” the man said in a voice that sounded trembling in fear.

“Jawab just what I asked.” said Alex.

“I—iya president, I, my name is Hans.” he said.

“Hans?”

“Iya president?”

“You think I'll believe you?”

The man named Hans raised his head, looked at Alex with his fear, then lowered his head back as Alex looked back at him.

“Although the president, please do not fire me, I need money for my wife who has just given birth. I beg you to forgive me president.” said Hans with his palms together, pleading with Alex.

“You are this if you want to lie, can be clever a little not? These evidences made me want to believe you, but hearing what you said just now, I know, that these are false proofs that other people gave you.” says Alex while throwing a brown map containing evidence onto the table.

“President, what you said was not true, I did not lie, it was not me who embezzled the funds of that new project. Is that evidence not enough? How dare I do that to the company Tnp group which has a high level of security.” said Hans.

Alex sighed, for a moment he stared at Chenli who was still in his room.

Chenli stared back at him, but the middle-aged man just kept quiet, saying that the matter was entirely in Alex's hands. All decisions depend on Alex.

“Hans.” call Alex, make the man named Hans turn his head.

“Iya president?” hans asked, still with his trembling tone.

“You know why when hiring new employees we need to do an interview test? Even though we have a file of personal data from the applicant. Try to answer.” said Alex who was able to make Hans feel confused, why company leaders like Alex suddenly alluded to problems that should be discussed by the personnel team or HRD.

“Because, because the procedure must be like that president.” replied Hans.

Alex chuckled, then cleared his throat a few times to neutralize his voice.

“As I said before, you're not an expert at lying, you don't even know about such trivialities. Know it? The team conducts interview tests not just because of the procedure. But in order for them to know, whether the applicant's personal data is concrete or not, and again, the interview is done to find out who the applicant really is, the nature, characteristics and others. Just by asking small but pitiful questions, the personnel team could easily assess the applicant. Up here, do you understand what I mean?” said Alex.

Hans looked at her confusedly, the man seemed to not understand as well. Though Chenli and Aldo who were also there already understood with the intention of Alex who had touched on the issue of interview tests.

“Hans, suppose you answered earlier, if you were looking for and collecting this evidence with the help of a friend rather than answering that you collected this evidence yourself, or, or, if only you hadn't talked about yourself needing money for your wife who just gave birth. Maybe— maybe I've got into your game and believe in you. Now, tell me, who is the person who has given you this false proof?” alex said while pointing sharply at the map that contains false evidence.

“President, please believe me, the proof is really not fake, it is genuine, genuine. I beg you believe the president, not me who embezzled the funds of the new project.” said Hans.

Alex massaged his forehead at a glance, then loosened his tie that suddenly felt choking his neck.

“Aldo.” call Alex.

“Iya president?”

“Bring him to the security department section. Then tell the security director to come see me.” Alex orders.

“Good president.” said Aldo, received the order.

“No president, I beg you, I please believe in me. Chairman.” pinta Hans who has now been pulled by Aldo to get out of the room immediately.

“President, I will say who has given this document to me, I will say it, please do not take me to the security department.” said Hans who appeared to be trying to get himself out of Aldo's grip.

Alex seemed silent, momentarily thinking, whether he would listen to her or not.

“Aldo, stop.” Alex orders that directly make Aldo stop pulling force Hans.

“Thanks president.” says Hans.

“Quickly say, who is the mastermind behind the fake document?” alex asked, looking impatient with the man's words.

“Yohan, the deputy CEO of Yohan who gave it to me.” Hans said.

Alex looked surprised, then turned his head towards Chenli who was also looking at him with a surprised expression.

“You! Do you know who you're alluding to?!” alex said in a high voice.

“I know the president won't believe it, therefore I didn't want to reveal it. But it is indeed true, vice-president Yohan who has given me false proof of it.”

Alex rubbed his face in frustration,

“Aldo, quickly take him away to the security department, I do not want to see him again.” said Alex who was immediately responded with a nod by Aldo. The secretary, with a one-off move, pulled Hans back to get out of the room and go to the security department of the Tnp group.

Alex tried to catch his ear that was warming up, he seemed to close his eyes for a moment, then exhaled his heavy breath while looking at Chenli who was about to leave.

“Secretary Chenli, said the man earlier, are you going to tell chairman Ray?” ask Alex.

“Of course, chairman Ray should know, why we hide it, if in the end the chairman Ray will also know.” said Chenli.

“You're right, then do you believe the man's words?”

Chenli looked silent for a while, he looked unprepared to accept Alex's question.

“After all, vice president Yohan used to be the closest assistant to chairman Ray, and also, chairman Ray trusted him very much. So for problems I believe or not, my opinion is really not important.” replied Chenli, so good to avoid not answering questions from Alex.

“Well, at least, I need to discuss and discuss this matter with Brother Ray. Chenli, tell brother Ray, I will shut the mouth of the man named Hans so as not to talk carelessly about deputy president Yohan. During the period of further investigation, let's just say the man never mentioned the name of vice president Yohan.” said Alex.

Chenli nodded, though,

“I understand. In that case, I will go back to the chairman Ray.” said Chenli who then went out of Alex's room.

Alex breathed his heavy breath, rubbed his face, then sat down in his chair.

Real complicated.

•••

Rose is seen entering the restaurant owned by her lover's mother.

Then, a few minutes after the girl entered, Yuan who was waiting for Rose to enter first, finally, he also entered the restaurant.

They've always been like that. Although coming to the restaurant together, but never entered the restaurant together.

They were like that as well because Rose was not ready if the mother of Yuan knew about their closeness and relationship.

Now Yuan had stepped inside the restaurant casually as usual. Unbeknownst to him, there was a middle-aged woman who had been standing by the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for Yuan.

“Rose, why are you still here? Why not go inside and start working? Or— you're waiting for me huh?” asked Yuan who was astonished by Rose, the girl who had entered earlier than him was somehow suddenly when Yuan entered, he was still near the door.

Rose smiled awkwardly, she wanted to reply to Yuan's words, but undo them when her eyes collided with someone who seemed to be standing next to the entrance, or rather behind Yuan. That's the one who's holding Rose back from leaving and getting to work.

Yuan who saw Rose just kept quiet and lowered his head, he felt increasingly strange with the attitude of his lover.

“You are why? Want to apologize again? Aren't you tired of saying sorry to me? Besides, the whole trip, you always said sorry, but didn't know what your mistake was. So save your sorry first. Better, we'll discuss this next time. Now, I have to go see my mother.” Yuan said as he gently rubbed Rose's head.

“Ehem, my dear son, you want to see me huh? Then, there is no need to go to my room, mom is already here, behind you.” said a middle-aged woman who seemed to be sharing a smile ready to tease her son.

Hearing the voice of his mother who was able to make his hair stand up, Yuan immediately turned his head, turned back.

When he turned around, Yuan was shocked to find his mother standing with her arms crossed and leaning against the wall near the entrance of the restaurant.

“Mom? Mom since when was it there?” yang asked, starting to get nervous.

Ana glanced at Rose who was now behind Yuan. The girl had been looking to keep her head down.

Rose was like that because she was really scared and also worried, her heart was currently ambiguous, extremely agitated.

“You want mom to answer with length and detail or with brief?” ask Ana.

“Mom~”

“Ah yes, alright. Mom will answer it briefly, concisely and clearly. Okay, so look, mom was here about a few minutes ago, when mom just got out of mom's room, then accidentally saw your car from the restaurant window. Previously, when mom saw your car that had just been parked, mom wanted to go straight out to see you. But mom undo it when mom saw there was a woman you knew coming out of your car.” Ana said.

“Ah yes, mom also clearly saw you being very romantic towards her. You were manly until you opened the door of your car for him, quite well yes your romantic side it.”.

Yuan gaped in disbelief at his mother's explanation. Now how does Yuan explain it?

“Mom, I'll explain it to mom. So— it, it, I— ”

“That's what? Please explain it correctly to Mom. Why do you have to look so nervous? Oh yes, actually, mom asked your girl, but she seemed very afraid of mom. Because mom doesn't want to press her, so mom wait for you to explain. Now, let's explain it to mom.” Ana said while holding her smile, she really felt anxious to see her son, how not? The current Yuan seemed misbehaved and was also at a loss to explain where and how.

Yuan scratched his head that did not feel itchy at all. In the past, he once told Rose that until his mother knew about their relationship, Yuan said ‘ya had told him the truth’.

But when his current self actually faced the situation, Yuan really did not know how to.

“Yuan? Why shut up, honey? Are you ashamed to admit it? Who once told mom that she didn't like a girl who worked at mom's restaurant? But now, look who has she treated so sweetly behind her mommy? Oh Yuan, you are so cunning, how dare you hide it from mom.” Ana said.

“Mom, I'll tell mom everything, but can't we just talk about it in mom's room? Don't be here, look, there are many people, I— ”

“Thy yes? You're ashamed others saw you in interrogation by your mommy?” asked Ana, still in a teasing tone.

“Mom~”

“Yes yes, let's go to mom's room. Oh yes, Rose, today you're off yes, I'll tell Dita's manager. Now, come with this mommy-in-law and your Yuan. We listen together, how Yuan will explain about your relationship.” Ana said as she pulled Rose's arm slowly.

Finish me, mom won't let go of me just like that. — Inner Yuan.
