Happy reading..

“Why you lie to Anth? (Why are you lying to Anth?)” Garret asked after Anthony brought Bruna to go to bed.
“He will keep pulling if I tell that I’m going to the Capital even it is true that I go there for some kind of important things and don't have time to accomplish Anth spending time with Girl”
“(She will continue to whine if I say I go to the Capital even though I did go there for some important matters and did not have time to accompany her to spend time with Girl)”
“Heemm ..” Garret mangosteen.
“Beside, I really have something to make sure (In addition, there is something I want to make sure) ..”
**
As the Son planned yesterday, he and Damian went to the Capital by Suheil.
After yesterday also Putra said the reason why Putra told Anthony that he did not go to the Capital, but went to another city.
“Are you going to meet Girl first after we arrive? (Are you going to see the girl first when we get there?)”
“Maybe... (Maybe not.)”
“I think that we still have spare time before we go to the airport (I think we still have some free time before we go to the airport)”
Damian said as he glanced at the watch on his wrist.
“We arrival before night at the Capital. You still have much time if you want to meet her (We get before nightfall to the Capital. You still have plenty of time if you want to see him)”
The son nodded slowly.
“Later.. (Later on).” Putra Sahut.
***
It was late in the afternoon when Putra and Damian reached the Capital.
“I’m a little bit hungry, want to go for eat or want to directly to Residence? (I'm a little hungry, want to go to eat first, or want to go straight back to the Residence?) ..”
Damian.
“Yes sure, better we go for eat first. Beside, I think that we lack stock of food at Residence (Yes, of course, we should go eat first. Anyway, I think our food stock has stayed a little in the Residence).”
Putra.
Damian mangosteen – mangosteen.
“But better we go to meet Arthur first at his office, I made an appointment to meet him there once we arrive here.”
“(But we better go see Arthur in his office first. I made an appointment to meet him there when we got here ..)”
“Okay!”
Damian confirms the Son's words, and the Son points the way to Suheil toward Arthur's office.
**
Son and Damian were in Arthur's private room in the man's office.
In the hands of the Son there are already several photos that he is looking at one by one.
The son looked at the photos in silence, then placed them on the table after he finished looking at them.
Damian took the pictures and saw them. And like Putra, Damian did not comment when he saw the images in some of the photos.
“And here ..... (And this ..)”
Arthur handed him a white sheet of paper on which there was writing on it.
“Schedule ... (Schedule..)”.
The son received the paper and read it and then the mangosteen.
And put it on the table too. “Let’s go for eat now (Let's go eat now)” Invite Son.
The son stood up from his seat.
Damian and Arthur did what the Son did.
***
Son, Damian and Arthur are already in one restaurant located in a famous Hotel in the city center.
“By the way, I already got information that you guys money from England was in (By the way, I've got information if your money from the UK is already in)”
Son and Damian nodded in unison.
“But the amount is less than what you guys have toold me (But the amount is less than what you ever told me)”
“It... (Indeed...)”
Putra.
“There is a problem (There is a problem)”
“Serious problem? (Serious issue?)”
“Safety things (Security issues)” Sahut Putra again.
“Beside, we don’t want lackeying question of government here about the source of the money from England, so we sent big part of it to our account at the Switzerland (Please, anyway, we do not want to serve government questions
here later about the source of money coming in from the UK, so most of us enter into our account in Switzerland)”
Arthur mangosteen. “So guys have an account there? (So you guys have an account there?)”
Son and Damian return the mangosteen.
“Ya, we just remember (Yes, we also just remembered)”
Arthur was again bearded.
“Just make sure that no such things of questions through our money from England, Arthur (Just make sure there are no questions regarding our source of money from England, Arthur)”
“....”
“Not to much for us, but I believe it’s a big amount if it’s convert into this country currency. And I'm pretty sure, that people who works in that Bank, will open their eyes very big when they saw the amount"
"(Not too much for us, but I'm sure it's a very large amount if it's converted into the currency of this country. And I am very sure, the people who work in the Bank, will widen their eyes when they see the number)”
"I bet they will (I'm sure so) ...."
Arthur chuckled a little later.
“But No worry for it. My colleague in the Central Bank will take care about that (But there's no need to worry about that. My colleagues at Central Bank will take care of it)” Arthur said.
“Ad said that you have not really good relationship with that man before (Ad said you had a bad relationship with that person before)” Timpal Putra.
“Ya that’s right (Yes it's true)” Arthur Sahut. “He saw me that I’m just kind of ordinary accountant, you know, he’s bigger than me (He looked at me as an ordinary accountant, you know, he was above me)”
“Still not respect you until now? (Still disrespecting you until now?)”
right now, I think he's gonna do it. Given how much money Mr. Addison offered him, and he looked at me while showing his disgusting big smile)”
Son and Damian spontaneously chuckle at Arthur's sniffle. Then eating food on their plates while chatting casually, until a greeting from a person makes the three turn simultaneously to the source of the sound.
****
‘Tsk!’ The son clucked in his heart when he saw the woman who was coming to his desk, Damian and Arthur.
“Doctor Ilse ..” Damian greeted the woman who was visiting their table.
“Mister Damian..” Ilse greeted back with a shake of Damian's hand that was already standing, as well as Arthur. “Hello..” Say hello to Arthur. “If I’m not wrong, you were with Mister Tri that day, right? (If I'm not mistaken, you were with Mr Tri that day, right?)”
“Yes, I am (Yes, right)” replied Arthur. “Arthur..” Arthur introduced himself.
“Nice to know you Mister Arthur (Happy to meet you Mr. Arthur)”
“Nice to know you too, Doctor (Nice to meet you too, Doctor)” replied Arthur politely as he shook Ilse's hand.
Ilse also threw a smile of hospitality at Arthur, as she did to Damian, and he turned to the Son who showed no kind of amiability toward Ilse, as did Damian and Arthur.
The son did not stand up from his seat, and seemed to remain focused on enjoying his meal.
“Hi, Putra”
“What is your necessity? (What do you need?)”
Instead of answering Ilse's greetings kindly as Damian and Arthur did, Putra even asked a flat question to Ilse, not even glancing at the female Doctor who finally looked awkward and smiled bitterly with the attitude of the Son to her.
“Nothing, I just saw you from my place where I sit (Nothing, I just saw you from where I sat). And I come here just to say a greeting (And I'm here just to say hello)”
“You already did... (You did) ... You can leave now (You can go now)” Said the Son in a flat tone of voice, but heard the sarcasm on Ilse.
“Eemm..”.
“I’m done. Have you guys done too? (I'm done. Are you guys done too?)”
The son put down his knife and fork and said that he was done with his meal, then asked Damian and Arthur, ignoring the whereabouts of Ilse who was still standing near their table.
“Ask for the bill then (Let the bill then)” Said the Son after Damian and Arthur nodded, and Arthur raised his hand to call a waiter and coded if he asked to bring their bill.
“Let me (Let me alone)” Damian said as the waiter called Arthur quickly came to their table carrying something that looked like a large wallet made of synthetic leather with a bill receipt in it. The son nodded and stood up.
“I’ll be waiting outside (I'll wait outside)”
“Silk, I’m sorry... (I'm sorry)..”
Ilse held the Son's arm where the Son cast a sharp glare at Ilse.
Ilse noticed the sharp gaze of the Son on him, but he did not keep his hand away from the Son's arm.
“I’m sorry for being rude that day... (Sorry because I was rude that day..)” Said Ilse with a clear face.
“Your hand, please. Get off it from me (Your hands, please. Keep away from me)”
The son codes with his eyes which gives a cynical look at Ilse who then does what the Son asks.
“Look ... (Come) ..”
“If you want to do apologize, do it to a person that you insulted (If you want to apologize, do it to the person you have insulted)”
Then the Son continued his steps to immediately move away from Ilse.
“Wait (Wait), Son!”
Ilse screeched to hold back the Son's steps.
“She’s not good as you think! (He's not as good as you think!)”
“Means? (I mean?)”
The son tilted his body and immediately asked Ilse who added to his words as the Son ignored his call to hold back his steps.
Feeling the Son respond to him, it appears that Ilse pulled the corner of her lips and stepped closer to the Son.
“That nurse, is not good like what you think (That nurse, is not as good as you think).”.
“That nurse, has a name (The nurse, has a name)”
“....”
“And I ask, what does your sentence mean? (And I asked, what is the meaning of your sentence?)”
Back the Son raised his sharp gaze at Ilse.
“Come to the Pub names JP, easy to find. It’s a big and famous Pub in this town... (Come to the Pub named JP, easy to find. It was a large and famous Pub in the city ..)”
“Then? (Then?)”
“You will get the answer of what I mean (You will find the answer to my point of view)”
“....”
“Come there tomorrow night at eight. Then you’ll know, why I talk like that to her (Come there tomorrow night at eight. Then later you will know, why I talk to her like that)”
“Are you done? (Are you done?)”
Ilse smiled bitterly once more, for the Son still said flatly to her.
Though Ilse hopes, Putra can be provoked by his words, so curious and invite him to sit down to talk. But it was not in line with Ilse's expectations. The son remained unmoved with his cold attitude towards Ilse.
“I ask, are you done talking? (I asked, are you done talking?)”
“Yes ... (Yes) ..” Sahut Ilse slowly. Then the Son continued his steps to leave before Ilse who was still standing looking disappointed at the Son.
Damian, who had already finished their meal bill payment, followed the following son and Arthur and nodded their heads slowly towards Ilse who was looking at them with a faint smile.
“She’s just utilise you (She just used you)”
Ilse's words made Putra hold back her steps, but she did not look back.
Ilse retracted the corner of her lips and was about to return to walk closer to the Son.
“It’s none of your business (That's none of your business)”
But unfortunately, Ilse had to swallow again disappointment because the Son hurled a cynical speech at her and then resumed his steps.
“Tomorrow, you will know that I much better than her! (Tomorrow, you'll know that I'm better than him!)”
Ilse muttered furiously, clenching both hands while still looking at the Son.
“I can’t wait to see when you glimpse abherent on her (I can't wait to see how you look disgusted at her) ..”
Ilse grinned thinly.
“And after that, You won’t ever refuse me... (And after that, you will definitely no longer reject me ..)"

To be continue....
