"See you, Leon! Thanks for today!" chelsea said as soon as he got to the front porch of his house.
"Yes," replied Leon briefly with a faint smile on the tip of his lips.
"Emm... Would you like to stop by and take a short break inside?" ask Chelsea who still feel not willing today so quickly ended. It felt like he was still not satisfied despite spending time with Leon all day.
"No, I'll go straight home. You hurry in and rest!" pinta Leon rubbed Chelsea's head gently.
"OK," replied Chelsea with both cheeks blushing. He was so happy that he did not stop smiling when he entered the house.
Leon kept quiet until Chelsea closed the door. Then he turned around, walking towards his car. As soon as he ascended, he immediately leaned back his body, his soul and body feeling so tired.
At least for today he managed to get through without making any trouble. He dared to take the decision to date because it was stupid with the gaze of other members if only anyone knew this secret romance. He thought, after all, the chairman already knew what the relationship was like, so it didn't matter even if there were other members who would find out.
"Hahh .. In the end I didn't ask either. It turns out that dealing directly with him is harder than I thought. For some reason every time I see his face, I lose everything in my mind. I can't help but break his smile."
"Damn, why is this actually? I'm losing control of myself." Leon was very frustrated, even he leaned his head on the steering wheel of the car due to feeling dizzy.
For a while Leon still felt demoralized, after this he was confused what to do. He who had no other choice finally drove at a normal speed towards the direction of the way home. But suddenly on the way he remembered something important.
"Liana!" leon shouted while braking his car suddenly. Of course, due to this action, there was immediately the sound of a horn from another vehicle reprimanding him.
Leon immediately pulled the car over properly. He hurriedly took his cell phone to immediately call his sister.
"Come on, pick up Liana! Shit, I usually forget that I have to pick her up for school. I hope he's okay!" Leon continued to grumble because he was worried that Liana would not immediately pick up a phone call from him.
"Hello?" liana asked in a flat voice as soon as the phone call was successfully connected.
"Finally you pick up the phone too! Nothing happened to you, right?! Where are you now?!" leon asked expectantly.
"I'm fine and now I'm studying at home. Why did Leon call me? Is there something bad?"
"Thank God you're okay. I'm sorry, but this morning I promised to pick you up at school. Brother forgot because there's business, but you're really fine, right? Who did you go to school with? With your boyfriend?"
"Humph! Only now do you remember me. But Brother Leon don't worry too much, there were still some unknown people who would intercept me, but it didn't matter because Ian was with me. And ... today I met with Orchid's manager," Liana said in a doubtful tone of voice.
"What?! You've already cut the contract, but why is he still seeing you? Did he do anything to you?!" ask Leon again who is getting worried this time.
"No, he just went to the house and brought food. Orchid's manager said if he wanted to say goodbye to me, he said goodbye because from now on he would no longer be with me. That's it," Liana explained.
For a moment Leon was stunned, he thought about what kind of possibility caused Orchid to come to see him again.
"Sister Leon, where is Brother now? Brother said that he was given a week off, but why did you forget the time to pick me up? When I got home from school, it seemed like the house had not been cleaned either. Actually, where's Leon's been all day?" asked Liana who immediately broke Leon's daydream.
"Ah, big brother has business with someone .." replied Leon spontaneously.
"Who is that? Is he Mayra's sister? You two have been together all day, right?"
"Yes .." replied Leon briefly in a soft tone.
"Ohh .. so it's true that sister Mayra! Well, it's okay then, I don't get angry. You do not have to go home, just stay at the house of sister Mayra! I dare to stay home alone!"
"Ck, quiet! Brother is coming home!"
TUT ...
Leon disconnects the phone call out of fear that Liana will talk more and more about him. Moreover, she actually felt sorry for all the accusations Liana had mentioned to her.
"Liana .. she you're talking about is not Mayra, but actually someone else. If only I were like Liana who knew nothing, maybe right now I would really stay at her house" muttered Leon with a sad look.
Suddenly Leon clutched tightly to the steering wheel, he was ready to continue driving again. "Of course, it seems like I can't make a decision this fast. Chairman gave me a week, I have to make the most of this time so I don't make the wrong decisions."
"In fact I also had a little doubt on both of them. Whether it's the chairman or Chelsea, I'm sure these two women are both hiding something from me. At a time like this, I can only ask the person I trust the most! I'm sure he couldn't have lied to me!"
Leon quickly drove home. And when he got home, he instead of cleaning himself up, resting or even looking at Liana. The first thing he did was clean the whole house.
"What are you doing?" liana asked who had wanted to go to the kitchen. He stared in surprise because at this time his brother seemed to peek at the back of the painting displayed on the wall.
"So, I'm cleaning!" leon replied without looking at his sister.
"Huhh .. Gosh, it's night, brother. Clean it up tomorrow, tomorrow I'm off school, I promise I'll help you clean up! Even if you want to clean the roof of the house, I will help you!"
"Just sleep over there, don't disturb your sister's business!"
"Ck, you freak!" liana grumbled which then walked away.
Is it not tomorrow morning that Brother Mayra will come here? That's why Brother Leon became crazy to clean up so that when brother Mayra comes later this house becomes super clean. Hmm, if that's the case then this is understandable. Brother Leon just wants this house to be no shame when his girlfriend comes. What a crazy love.
"Ck, stop! This business is complicated if you keep thinking about it. Better rest now so that tomorrow is not too late. I want to meet with Brother Dika and ask for an explanation from his point of view! I'm sure if he knows anything about what the chairman is planning."
***
The days quickly changed, the most risky week time had been reduced by one day. As Leon had planned, so this morning Leon rushed off to the Killer Shop. Before he left, he also told Liana to stay at home because the conditions outside were still so vulnerable for him.
Arriving at the place he wanted to go, Leon waited until the members' turn to be given the task had run out. He was someone who was the last to enter the special room belonging to the Division Head that he already considered like his own brother.
As soon as he entered the room, Dika who had originally been sitting relaxed also welcomed his arrival with a look of wonder.
"Today I remember very well if I didn't call you to accept a new assignment, why did you come here? There's no way your arrival just wants to greet me, right?" asked Dika who was confused by Leon's sudden arrival. He knew very well what Leon's previous habits would be like to inform him and tell him first.
"...." - ".Leon did not reply, he just sat down and looked at Dika with a serious look. Suddenly he threw something on the table, it was nothing but a document about the identity of Chelsea Almayra Adinata given by the chairman.
"I came here because I wanted to ask you this! I beg you very much, if Big Brother knows anything, please tell me!"
"Hahh .. it turns out so." Dika sighed after understanding the true intent of Leon's arrival.
"You've read everything here, haven't you?" ask Dika.
"Have, even I remember everything!" leon replied while nodding his head.
"Good, but it's actually pointless!" Dika took the document and suddenly just tore it up.
"What did Brother Dika do?! Why tear it?!" asked Leon who was quite shocked by this kind of unexpected action.
"So I told you this was pointless, so I tore it up. Anyway I also know if you get this from the chairman," said Dika with a flat face look.
"It's no use? So, is all the information that's in there wrong?" leon asked with a slightly hopeful look.
"Not so, it's all true. But ... There's no point if you keep glued to that document. I'll just go ahead, it's not your war or anything about your love for that woman. But this is the war chief, and you're the pawn."
"A-i ... pawn? Then ... Why use me? Actually this is a war between the chairman and who? Is it Chelsea?" leon asked in disbelief.
Dika shook his head and said, "No, he still does not deserve to be juxtaposed with the chairman. You've read the document thoroughly, so you must know who the father of the woman is."
"Tommy Adinata, he is a head of a conglomerate family that has power and influence in the country. But the last few years his business has been in decline and his influence has also started to wane" Leon replied smoothly. He has indeed memorized the ins and outs of Chelsea's identity in detail.
"You're right, our chairman is planning a war against Tommy Adinata. I'm not sure what the real purpose is, whether he wants to gobble up his business or end the family history of this conglomerate that's been on the edge. But obviously, the chairman doesn't want Tommy to get Chelsea back."
"This is a problem related to the future. However, your problem is something related to past grudges. All of this will be interconnected, the chairman's plan is to break the rope between a vengeful relationship and his future plans."
"I still don't understand" Leon said with a frown.
"Geez, fine then .. I'll explain about the past grudges that currently bind you." For a moment Dika fell silent to steady himself. Then, he suddenly placed his left arm on the table.
"Th-that ...." Leon stammered, only this time he clearly saw a scar that was always hidden tightly. The permanent scar appears to form a writing consisting of 4 letters, 'N-I-S-A'. Nisa, that's a name that can be read through the scar on Dika's hand.
"What does all this mean, brother? Was the chairman so ruthless that he carved his own name in the hands of Big Brother?!" leon asked as if he did not accept the situation experienced by Dika.
"No, it's not the chief. But this is my own thing" replied Dika with a bitter smile.
"W-what?! Butwhy? How could Dika torture himself?"
Dika lowered his head, then in a soft tone he said, "This is all .. because of the incident 10 years ago. I know it's been a long time, but it's not going to fade in my mind at all."
"...." - ".Leon was silent a thousand languages, only this time he saw the figure of Dika who had a fragile side like this. He also began to think, what cruel incident that made Dika become like this.
"This is all related to Violent Zone," continued Dika again.
"Violent Zones? Did Big Brother mean that dirty place?!" ask Leon who is starting to feel interested to listen to more details.
"You are right, Violent Zone which is currently managed directly by Marcell the vice chairman. Even the chairman himself sometimes still meddles about it. I'm not going to explain at length because you yourself already know very well what kind of place it is. It's just .. 10 years ago how to manage the place was still different, because at that time the owner was William Adinata."
"William Adinata, Chelsea's older brother?" ask Leon who wants to be sure once again.
"Right, and I accidentally offended William Adinata. He and his accomplice caught me when I was alone. I had to be there and survive. However, he used some kind of illegal drug to restore the prisoners' condition."
"Every day the wounds on my body were getting worse, and to survive I was forced to eat the medicine. The drug has a very good and fast effect on wound recovery, but the side effects affect the brain. The longer I feel like an idiot. My memory is declining, I'm starting to forget where I live, who my parents are, my friends, even my own name I've forgotten."
"But there is someone whose name I want to keep on remembering even though I have to die. He is the chairman, he has grown up and accompanied my childhood. And since childhood I have been required to serve him. I could not let go of this obsession, eventually .. For the sake of remembering it, I cut my own hand with a piece of glass and carved his name. That's why I have this scar."
"Every day in that filthy, dark place, I kept hoping the chairman would come and save me. Until in the end my waiting was not in vain, on the eve of the new year, the chairman and my other colleagues came to take me away. The nine of us attacked and destroyed the Violent Zone blindly. And on the orders of the chairman, we finally burned the place down."
"But in the midst of the chaos the chief did not disappoint me, he managed to capture William and drag him before me. That's exactly what happened 10 years ago, now Chelsea are coming and joining for the purpose of revenge for her brother! Because I killed him!"
"....?!" Leon gasp.
