THE HERITAGE HOUSE

PART 67'S. HENDRIK'S ARRIVAL

Morning time.

Emilia tried to call Diki, unfortunately there was no answer. An important information that Emilia must immediately inform Diki. Because many times Diki did not take a phone call from her, Emilia took the initiative to call Rio.

"Rio... Rio... !"

"Yes, I heard. Why call me so early in the morning?" Rio who was still struggling inside the blanket, showed his regretful face. His eyes were not fully open.

"Hendrik has arrived, he's looking for Diki."

Rio rushed to get up, the appearance of his hair and pajamas was still irregular. He was clearly shocked as well as panicked.

Lothawat!

"Does the doctor know where he is?"

"Sorry I don't know. At midnight, I was asked to attend a meeting with all the members. Unfortunately, Hendrik didn't tell me any plans he'd settle where." Emilia explained helplessly.

Although Emilia was still one of the active members, but it was difficult for her to tell about the secret talks of the members meeting, on Diki or Rio. Hendrik was too horrible, to interfere with his affairs with him. It's just that, for the sake of the promise to Diki, Emilia felt the need to tell him about Hendrik's arrival as a form of agreement between them.

Hendrik was a careful and conscientious man. He's not a careless man. Therefore, he is the most trusted by Diki's grandfather. Hendrik's speech is the same as Diki's grandfather's.

Filled with anxiety on Rio's face, without any cue he hung up the phone then he prepared to rush towards Diki's residence.

As soon as Rio arrived at Diki's house, he went straight to Diki. "Sorry, Sir. I came early in the morning because there was some urgent business I had to tell you." Rio gave the code, that the thing he wanted to say was very secret. Diki who understood Rio, immediately responded.

"Okay, we're just leaving." Before getting into the car, Diki said goodbye to Raisa. "Raisa, I'm leaving first. Sorry can't wait for the arrival of the new ART. Later he will come, maybe soon," said Diki turned to face Raisa who was standing at the door.

Hearing that, Raisa understood Diki was busy because of her work. Raisa just nodded.

Diki approached Raisa and then he kissed Raisa's forehead reflexively. Of course Raisa felt surprised by it, until Raisa blushed.

Rio who looked at the romance of the two of them, he looked like a mosquito. Rio could only sigh.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Envied?" diki said as if mocking Rio, when Diki opened the car door, she was held back by Rio's gaze.

"Of course I'm not envious, I'm grateful you have a partner, sir. Well, at least this breaks the assumption that the public thinks we're rainbow."

"Rainbow?" Diki widened her eyes, "Huh! You also have a partner. So many years we go through the days always together, that's what causes the public's assumption so. I'm a normal guy." Diki just found out, the assumption of the public sounds terrible that judge him so, just because the status of his single is too long and always with Rio.

'I broke up with my boyfriend for a long time because of my busy life. You won't understand that, sir. My date time is gone. Now you're asking me to find a partner? I should have done it a long time ago, Rio muttered while laughing at his own misfortune in heart, he could not complain in front of Diki. His boss is insensitive.

They are indeed familiar with each other, sometimes their behavior shows that they are not just superiors and subordinates but close friends.

Then Diki and Rio left together.

After some time, not long new ART came. He introduced himself, "Sorry, Madam. I'm the one who you've been assigned to work here. Just call me Bik Surni," said a middle-aged woman with a simple appearance.

"Yes, Madam."

As soon as Raisa turned around, she saw Diki's phone left on the table. Probably because Diki was in a hurry. Raisa takes the phone and intends to keep it in the room.

Raisa accidentally saw the notification that appeared on the screen of Diki's phone. There were five missed phone calls from Emilia. Raisa was surprised to find out. His mind was filled with curiosity and suspicion. Though his relationship just improved with Diki last night. Raisa's heart began to be filled with a sense of unease.

*******

"So morning, Dr. Emilia called me. Did he call you too, sir?"

"I haven't checked my phone yet" Diki only realized that the phone wasn't there after searching. "Jeez, it looks like my phone is left at home."

"Then, how? Do I have to turn around, pick it up at home?"

"Not necessary, it can take time. What do you want to say then?"

"Doctor Emilia told me, Hendrik is looking for you, sir. He's already in town. Last night Emilia's doctor had a meeting with the other members." Rio explained while driving.

"I have to see him before he comes to my office. Do you know where he is now?"

"Sorry, Sir. Doctor Emilia didn't tell me,"

Then they arrive at the company, something unexpected, they are greeted by Hendrik. This was surprising because it was faster than expected. The atmosphere of the room turned tense.

Hendrik was sitting quietly and thoughtfully but without expression. The first impression upon seeing Hendrik's appearance, he had the aura of a cold, ruthless man. His age is the same as Diki but Hendrik looks more mature and mature than his age. Over the years believed by Diki's grandfather caused Hendrik's nature as a replica of Diki's grandfather.

Rio who was aware of being with Diki, he self-consciously walked out of the room. Since Rio knew, this was not his realm to interfere.

Currently in the room only left Hendrik and Diki. Rio was outside the room while keeping watch, anticipating when there were people who had needs, Rio was ready to block him because Hendrik and Diki's conversation was very secret.

"With your ability, no wonder it's too easy for you to find me." Diki smiled sarcastically. There was no intention of welcoming him. A aura of hostility enveloped them.

"Thank you, I'm flattered." Hendrik then stood up, he behaved respectfully to Diki, "It seems you've guessed my presence here."

"No need to get stale, just explain what my grandfather wants! You can't come without a purpose." Diki panned sharply towards Hendrik, his attitude clearly did not like Hendrik for a long time. Hendrik always interfered on behalf of his grandfather. That's why Diki doesn't like Hendrik. For Diki, Hendrik is a mysterious man he needs to watch out for.

Hendrik smiled thinly and acted as calm as water when dealing with Diki but behind his attitude, he had a mysterious expression that was difficult to guess. His emotions are well preserved.

"The Chief wants you back, the little mess your wife is doing has been heard all the way to the Chairman's ears. Doesn't that mean your destiny is to rejoin." Hendrik widened his smile with open arms.
