The Lost Sense

Chapter 87

I was picking some snacks for Devan and Mitha at a convenience store. After feeling enough, I intend to move to the instant groceries rack. While passing the drink rack I saw two figures talking seriously. That figure is none other than, Arby, aka Luke, who became my half-brother. While the interlocutor I do not know because his position is behind me.

I was in a hurry to get back to the snack rack. I wonder what they're talking about. I shifted a few packets of snacks, so I could see and hear their conversation.

Almost a few packets of the snack fell on me, when I saw who the other person was, Luke. He is, Hans, the man from my past. Thankfully, they were not suspicious at all.

How do they know each other? What is the relationship between them? Have the two of them known each other for a long time or are they two friends who accidentally met here? A million questions pervaded my mind. My curiosity exceeds my sanity.

I immediately recorded the conversation. Because I was wondering what they were going to talk about.

I tried to hear their lost conversation arise. Because the signal is not good.

"How, have you been able to persuade your uncle to cooperate with my company?" said Hans.

"Beres, I've taken over from Reny. Om Handoko does not suspect at all that I am not Arby" said Luke pongah.

"Yes, you have to be careful. Don't let your guard down. Just a little different from Arby, our plan will fail completely."

"Look, they seem too easy to conquer" Luke said.

"Don't underestimate Mr. Handoko, they're not ordinary people. You must not act rashly. Once they get suspicious, we're done, okay!" hans said he didn't like it because of Luke's light attitude.

"God, while Arby's still in our arms, my secret must be safe" Luke said, trying to calm Hans down. I was very surprised by Luke . So they're keeping Arby, not Arby in Papua?

"But I'm still worried about Crisp, until now I haven't been able to melt her heart. Especially since there was Dion by his side who was always ready to help him." Hans lamented.

"Look, I'll try to separate them by influencing Handoko. He seems to trust me a lot" Luke said confidently.

"All right, I'm waiting for some good news from you. We should not often appear together in public, so that our disguises are not exposed." Hans leaves Luke. I also rushed to turn around, pretending to focus on seeing the items on display.

So relaxed step down every shelf aisle. I purposely did that in order to cross paths with one of them.

To measure the strength of an opponent while looking for his weakness, it must be able to blend in with him. He used his power as a weapon to defeat him. I should be able to get into the life cycle of them.

I knew someone was watching me, but I pretended not to know, and tried to relax. Until I finally heard a voice calling me. I looked towards the direction the sound came from. Seraut Hans face was looking at me with a big smile. I'm sick of seeing that smile, but I'm just trying to be normal.

"You're Crispy? Didn't I know I could meet you here?" tanyakanya.

"Eh, you're Hans? What's in here?" I pretended to be shocked. I tried to be friendly, different from what I showed when I met him in the parking lot, yesterday.

"I'm looking for souvenirs for my nephew, what do you think is suitable food for a ten-year-old boy" he said, asking for advice.

"Cowok what chick?" my many.

"both."

"What if it's like this?" I show it to the basket I hold. Peanut chocolate candy and cheese sticks. Hans noticed it and felt like it suited my choice.

"May as well, my bangs might like. Which shelf is it on?"

"Oh, I'll be back there. I'll find another one, first. Maybe the fruits," he guessed, behind me. Because I already had time to look at the fruit.

I smiled inwardly, looking very modus to follow my steps. I can guess to just relax.

"May as well" I said, choosing some fruit in the box. I took apples, pears and wine. Hans also followed my choices.

Because there is nothing else I want to buy, I go to the cashier.

"I go first, Hans, my groceries are full" I said subtly.

"Oh, yes, me too" he hurriedly exclaimed. Followed my steps to the cashier.

"Cokocolates don't come?" many remind. Just a little pleasantry, I'm sure Hans won't take it. Because all of that is just the mode to be able to follow me.

"Oh, yes, forgot. Anytime that, I've been lazy to go back there again," he said.

Hans followed me to the cashier. The cashier totals all my groceries. Then he called a number of numbers. I took out some red banknotes, but they were suddenly stopped, Hans.

"This is it, ma'am! Along with my groceries," he said hand over his credit card.

"Eh, don't be. Let me pay for my groceries," I refused to subtly feel bad.

"It's okay, Ren, for the sake of our past" he said. I finally gave up. I know Hans is showing his pride. Since I was also playing pretty, I just followed her will.

"Thank you, yes, next time I'll reply to that" I said. I would consider it a debt. I just wanted to enter Hans' world, to see or know what rotten plan he wanted to do to my family.

Was there anyone else who was behind her trying to disintegrate papa's efforts, other than Elis' aunt?

"Don't think too much, Ren. I just want you to remember our friendship first. That we once had a wonderful time. I'm sorry for the pain in your heart. Consider us break even, and we start a new friendship" he said trying sincerely. However, I know for sure it was just a speech full of falsehood. Hans didn't know I knew of his malicious intentions. He thought I would be fooled by his good attitude that was just pretend.

"I agree to make up, but I hope all this has nothing to do with the past" I said with pressure. I saw Hans's eye light, twitching strangely. He may be confused by my words.

"Okay, I agree. For the future" Hans said, greeting me. She smiled a smile, which to me was a grin, which she thought maybe I had fallen into her trap.

I returned her smile as well, in my heart muttering, going to follow the scenario she had put together. Play pretty to be able to know what their plans are.

We split up in the parking lot, with an appointment to meet again. I stared at Hans' back, disappearing behind the door of his car. I took a wave of his hand, just before the car disappeared.

I put my groceries in the trunk, then pensively behind the steering wheel. I felt my feet tremble because I realized the game I was playing. I know Luke and Hans are not men who doubt every decision they make.

They are people who are accustomed to acting determinedly and will use all means to get their heart's desire.

It is no different from Luke, because greed must hold his own brother only to replace his twin brother, to get the property of others. All that can not be separated from the greed of Aunt Elis. Who since a long time ago, so hate and envy his own brother. Handoko is my own papa.

I will fight to save my family, from the hands of the greedy, who try to destroy our happiness. *****
