The Leader's Wife

Chapt.58 Trip to Melbourne

Melbourne is a mix of bustling street lanes, world-class restaurants and charming museums. The city, inaugurated by Queen Victoria in 1847, is the capital of the densely populated state of Victoria and the second most populous city in Australia and Ocenia.

Yeah, here they are now. After a journey of approximately 6 hours from Jakarta, they arrived at Tullamarine airport, an airport in the city of Melbourne that was opened in 1970 replacing the previous airport, Essendon.

Melbourne...

Unmitigated, Robert Tanjaya deployed four new Alphard type cars to pick up two Lidah Api officials, Devilito and Cerlotta who set out with their strongest team to the Kangaroo continent by using a private plane.

While the company assistant Hendra and secretary Indriana, following Linggar and his two assistants who had up to thirty minutes early, they had already picked them up first and headed straight for their lodging hotel in the city center.

They were walking down the streets of Melbourne like a main road, very busy. But not so when they get down the street aisle on Union Lane, the quiet road layout will feel like being in a different world, he said, this street is dominated by ever-changing street art that adorns every wall, a colorful creation !.

A convoy of four Alphard cars entered the center of the city. The front car contained five of Robert's bodyguards, followed by a second car containing Robert himself who accompanied Devilito, Cerlotta, Marcel and Giring.

Meanwhile, the third row of cars in Dominique, Tito, Dasmond, Donny, Hensly and not to forget Melvin. And, the last car was filled by five other Robert's bodyguards.

No private conversation has taken place between Devilito and Cerlotta since the beginning of his departure from Jakarta, it may have been a commitment in each other's hearts or indeed Cerlotta who has been able to release her feelings for Devilito. After all, now he already has a heart that he must take care of, right ?.

"You want to enjoy coffee first, Cerry.?", asked Devilito at some point, as they left the city center heading south, along the banks of the Yarra river. "Hmm..can !", Cerlotta turned cheerful when she heard the word coffee, "Honey..mau?", she said next while turning her head to look back, towards the sleigh.

The somewhat flinched sleigh can bid from Cerlotta, rather than that. For a few seconds he did not answer, still amazed but nodded his head then while answering, "Ok !" short. Along with the vibration of his phone twice, there is a notification WhatsApp in. He read while he glanced.

(Honey.mau yaa) - from Devilito.

(I want to too...Honey) - from Marcel.

Simultaneously It replies to both of them with the same word, (K*p**t !!).

But, the faces of the three men who were mocking each other did not show any expression, remaining flat. If Cerlotta knew what was going on.

The car convoy was a little choked when the front of the car like stepping on the brakes, one member in the car was involved in a debate with one member of a sedan car like Lancer but has been modified turbo. Apparently, the person in Lancer's car pointed his finger, not accepting maybe, because their car road was cut by Alphard.

However, the incident did not last long after Robert called the driver who was in the front car to surrender, no need to respond. And, the conversation that had stalled again continued.

Robert, sitting at the front of the driver, was enthusiastic and immediately acted as a guide, "Let's stop at the cafe, the name..." He tried to remember for a moment, then "his name is Market Lane".

"Where is that.?" said Cerlotta. He is a coffee lover.

"In Prahran Market, a cafe and roast place single coffee with its special origin. Espresso and coffee pour over is served with cake, bread and others".

"Coffee roast.?, means he sells with his seeds, or how?", asked Devilito did not understand, because he was not a true coffee connoisseur.

"Chairman, this place sells coffee and seeds from one plantation and brewing equipment and offers tastings and brewing classes that include pour over, aeropless and plunger coffee" Robert continued his explanation.

"It seems like you've been there a lot, Mr Robert?", Cerlotta said in awe, "And you've mastered the science of marriage quite a bit" he continued with a smile.

"Hehehe not too often the chairman, but I really like coffee" Robert blushed at the compliment.

For a moment, Robert called someone. He intended to book the cafe and asked to vacate the upper floor.

"But there are people who don't like coffee".

Robert and Cerlotta looked back at each other, "who?", Cerlotta asked, pointing to Marcel. "Who else is this man beside" Marcel raised his chin, pointing at Giring.

"You don't like coffee.honey?, how come I just found out?", Cerlotta knitted her forehead, "Not like, just occasionally" replied Diring diplomatically.

The one who is confused here is Robert. Naturally, he was one of the senior members in the network and the information he heard that Cerlotta became Devilito's fiancee, but this..?

Oh, that's their business

***

That night, they gathered in a small bar in the side room drinking wine, but as usual, Devilito only drank mineral water, he did not like wine.

Robert then explains how the movement of the members of the network H******g is getting uncontrollable, and blatantly provokes the Tongue of Fire.

Like earlier, the sedan car that was arguing with the convoy of cars in front, it was one of their forms of provocation.

"Owh, so that's them?", Cerlotta spoke up, She looked at the similarly shocked Devilito. "But why do they look like amateur gangsters?", Devilito added, tapping his fingers at the table, thinking.

"You know where their base is?", Devilito thought of something. "Know, it was just yesterday afternoon my men investigated, in an area north of the city, the plantation area as well".

"Have you ever had a physical confrontation with them?", Cerlotta spoke up again.

"It's been twice, first in the city center at night, and two of our members were injured, one torn in the stomach and one lightly hit. In that incident we were disappointed".

"The second, when?", asked Devilito.

"The second, also at night in a bar, three of them, kreek!", Robert crossed his arms to form the sign 'X', meaning dead !.

Devilito and Cerlotta looked on, it seemed like they had to act immediately.

"The weapons they use, most of them Robert?, firearms or sharp weapons?, because I heard earlier, our members were wounded by the sajam", The sleigh from earlier listened, spoke up.

"Their average uses the sajam, maybe their firearms are there, but twice the clash, they don't use it. They rely on martial skills, their hallmark".

Devilito mangosteen, "You know, tomorrow night we move, prepare yourself. And, you Robert try to keep information about our movements unknown to the enemy and security, not to be noisy", he ordered later while looking at the members present.

"Where, Cerry..do you agree?", Devilito glanced at Cerlotta who was sitting next to him,

"I'm with you brother, you in control" said Cerlotta, winking her eyes.

"Then let's try to open the map !". Devilito then receives a large paper map from the hand of one of Robert's hands. They discussed ways of entry and siege. Devilito still suggests carrying a firearm just in case. The next commandment, this movement must be completed. According to him again, this is a small group, only the paid people of Raymond.

"Oh yeah, Raymond's position where, hm?", his question leads to Robert next. "Raymond is in this base, while Aksan is in a house here, it seems he is not involved in the base" Robert explained while pointing at the map.

"Aksan, I still suspect what his relationship with Raymond is like, later you send some people to arrest Aksan, do not kill, I want to drag him and bring him to Indonesia"

"Who are Raymond and Aksan?", Cerlotta asked in surprise, she had never heard of either name.

"Raymond was one of the chief elPaso, my half-brother-in-law who betrayed me, while Aksan was her husband Kirana".

"Ohya??, Kira's husband..? why can't I get that info?", Cerlotta paused her sentence, "many surprises turned out in your life circle", she continued later with a sneer as she patted Devilito's shoulder slowly.

Devilito did not respond to Cerlotta's joke, "Well, I think quite first up here, prepare yourself, because tomorrow night may be a pretty heavy day", Devilito paused his sentence while looking at the members present, "and prepare your best men, Robert !".

"Reader of the !".

***

Some of Robert's members disbanded, living now in the room as core members.

Devilito called Robert who was chatting with Marcel, "What about the project, Robert ?".

"Well.this is another matter, we chat there yuk!", Cerlotta invites other members to move to the balcony of the second floor is very spacious, natural scenery see the vast expanse of vineyards plastered from there.

Robert then asked for a bindel containing a collection of project documents on one of his men. And, explain the important things about the project. Robert proposed that the Devilito company join him, but Devilito refused on the grounds of professionalism. He still wanted to advance to join his Silver Corp Linggar only, which means under the control of Robert's Golden Mas.
