The Perfect Happiness

Eps 177s

Max POV's.

Before getting information from Jefri, Igo's men had already chased after Dana. They lose track of Dana once Jefri walks out of Alex and Lisa's wedding dress shop. Then when they got the information from Jefri, they immediately moved towards the place he was told.

While Reza is currently researching the company Dana's brother, Dave, who suddenly experienced a decline. There are even some shares that are sold through the auction market suddenly.

"His life in the city of Bali is also auctioned this. Villa with ten acres." Reza read out the International auction info from one of the web apps he was following.

Previously, Reza managed to buy 14% of the shares they sold through the same web application. Which shares are in the furniture company Dave owns in London. And according to the news, the shares were sold because of his company which suffered losses during the absence of their leader.

Then a few days ago, Reza also bought a stock brokerage and also from the same web application on behalf of his brother.

"Don't! Stop buying the assets. He seems to have known that his brother died. And it's very likely that he suspects us, because his brother was last with us. Then with the movement of you buying the asset, make everything look so clear." Igo conveyed his analysis firmly with both eyes still focused on watching the computer screen in front of him.

I glanced at Reza at a glance, then turned back to Igo. "Then?"

"And it seems that he was planning something because he knew Reza was buying his assets, so he dared to bring up his nose in front of Jefri. And this time, we again failed to catch him. He disappeared so quickly after successfully meeting Jefri. Even though the area has been guarded by Jefri's men who coordinate with us. Because Tika's going to the restaurant, isn't she, seeing Jefri?" add Igo again.

"meaning?"

"Yes, Dana must have known her brother died. If not, how could he dare to sell some assets that he has. Must be all making our moves, that's it, right?" reza asked Igo who then answered with a nod of his head.

I'm becoming more understanding now, Dana sold some of those shares just to provoke our move. Because there's a chance that he's also investigating my company and Reza's company.

We had planned to buy the stock with the aim that he became worse. But we were wrong. We even made it even more audacious to appear blatantly. But what's the motive?

I thought for a moment. "I still don't understand any of this."

Then Reza began to explain, "Maybe Igo means, this is a trick from him, let us also come out of hiding and he all did it deliberately. While monitoring our movements as well? That's it, isn't it, Go?"

"Partly true and uncertain," replied Igo.

"Trus why don't we just arrest him? We surround the house and move." I'm giving you a proposal.

Then suddenly Igo looked at me and Reza took turns. Then Igo again looked at the glass screen, then pressed a button that caused the screen to turn black and then a recording appeared that featured a black SUV.

"That's mamah and that's ... Hans?" I was surprised to see Hans getting out of the car and being held up with a firearm. Followed by the mother who is also treated the same.

Suddenly I stood up from my seat and looked at Igo and Reza at both sides alternately. "This what? How come you're there?" I asked with a breath that began to sting because I was surprised to see everything that was moving in the video.

Then Igo said that my mother and Hans were probably blocked while on the trip about half an hour ago. And Igo got the video submission half an hour ago anyway. Which is when, right before we got word from Jefri if he had just met the kepa*at guy.

Reza was so, he was surprised. "What does this mean, Go?"

Igo took his breath away, then slowly said, "We are too busy watching them until we forget to take care of him. This is all a diversion." Igo's voice is weakening.

Instantly I became annoyed, especially when I saw the mamah from the computer's glass screen. Without saying anything else. I immediately took my car keys and decided to go home soon.

When I got home, I looked for my wife and son. Then hugged Shilla tightly. "Why you?" asked Shilla who was surprised to get a sudden hug from me.

I continued to hold her while looking at the two girls of my heart who were fast asleep on our bed.

Shortly after, my phone rang.

🎶

My location unknown tryna find a way back home to you again

I gota get back to you gota get back to you

My location unknown tryna find a way back home to you again

I gota get back to you gota get back to you

🎶

An unknown number appeared on the glass screen of my phone, making me feel a little strange. Because I very rarely get a call from a number that I did not save before. I decided to take the call after releasing my arms to my wife.

"Hallo?" I looked at Shilla's face and dropped my ass on the edge of the bed to sit down.

Silent. At first everything was heard quietly across the phone there, there was no sound at all until I had to say hello once again then there was a voice that said.

"Gua doesn't want to talk, make sure Tika leaves you in a week. Otherwise, your nyokab lives are at stake. Understood?" he said across the street that I assumed was Dana's voice.

"Lu hurt the nyokab cave a single hair, the cave can be sure your life suffers more!!" threaten him.

Suddenly the sound of laughter exploding was heard so clearly through this telephone connection. It made me even more upset when I heard that laugh. It was as if he thought of life as a fun game.

"suffered? Ck!! Gua has suffered enough lives since Tika married the same man who is now your brother-in-law! Plus when you dare to pull the trigger, throw a bullet into the body of the cave brother!!" the screams across there surprised me.

Deg deg!!

My heartbeat suddenly beat so fast that it made me step away from Shilla and decide to get out of my room. So that Shilla doesn't hear all this.

"Abang you're looking for the same cave! And he deserves all that." I denied it after closing the door to my room.

"You see, now you're looking for the same cave because you killed the cave brother. The only person in the world who has a cave. So the cave wants the life of the cave brother to be bartered as the life of your nyokab!!" Then Dana laughed thunderously across the street.

"Lu don't macem-macem! Little aja you touch nyokab cave .. cave bakalan—"

"It's barter with your sister!! Gua mau Tika, after that we break even!" he cut my words again.

I fell silent, then suddenly something touched my shoulder that instantly reflexively made me turn around and it turned out to be Tika. His face looked annoyed and he grabbed my phone staring at his screen, maybe he recognized the number listed there. And maybe also, Tika had heard some of the sentences I said earlier. Then he looked at me with a pus while sticking my phone to his ear.

"The tip of your fingernail touched him, don't expect me to apologize!!" tika said furious then immediately disconnected the phone connection.

Tika threw my phone on a single sofa that was near us. With both of his eyes that just kept looking at me sharply.

"You promised me that you would take care of Mom. Why is he so easy? Huh uh?!" Instantly she was emotional and then beat my chest accompanied by her cries.

I realize I was wrong at the moment. I'm so lost in looking after my family. True what Igo said earlier, I was too busy to monitor the man so I did carelessness in taking care of my own family.

"There's nothing wrong here. He can dapetin mamah also must use a trick. And he found my weakness." Jefri tried to calm my sister down.

Then suddenly Shilla appeared and asked us what was going on right now to Tika who was crying brutally in the arms of Jefri. I explained everything.

"But mamah was out saying he wanted to go to the hospital, wanted to meet with Haikal to discuss the goods Clara later," said Shilla with confusion.

"And I saw from the video that Dana sent to Igo earlier. There mamah was blocked on the way and then kidnapped." I deny again.

Now I really hate myself. Tika was still sobbing crying in her husband's arms. Then slowly my knees felt weak, my body slumped down to fall to the floor. Shilla held me tight.

For a while, I was still trying to understand all of this. So chaotic and out of control. Until my phone finally went off. But this time a short sound indicating a short message has made it into my phone.

Immediately I glanced at the thin object then looked at the screen. A message from the number used by Dana. It contained, he gave an address complete with the barter time he wanted. After reading the message, I immediately raised my face to look at Tika. He also looked at me then slowly walked over to me, grabbed my phone back and read the contents of the message.

Tika exhaled heavily and then rubbed her face rough. "Is a month for me over?" she shriveled with her sad eyes, while returning the phone to me.

Jefri went straight to her and hugged Tika so tightly. I don't feel like I can see any of this and I don't think I want to change anyone. They are both equally important in my life. After all, what am I swapping them both for? They both belong to me, ours are here, not to that fucking guy.

I closed my eyes, took my breath and slowly exhaled. My hand tucked in between the hairs and then gripped firmly. While Shilla was still sitting beside me, accompanying me while rubbing my shoulders to calm me down.

***

The bright sky slowly turned dark. The wind turned into a coolness that was able to calm my mind a little. Although in fact, there is a part that feels sore and poignant, considering that the mama is in the hands of the man.

Now I stand in the backyard of the mamah house, on the edge of the pool sipping a cigarette and then exhaling the smoke into the air. Thinking about what plan I should do later, considering there was no good choice I could think of right now.

At the moment Tika and Jefri may still be in the living room. Somehow their condition. All I know, before I finally decided to enjoy my cigarettes here, the two of them were clutching each other and Jefri was trying to ease his cries.

Now I feel dead sense. But suddenly the sound of someone's exclamation seemed to be a new breath for me.

"Max ...," cried the voice of a man. Making me want to not have to turn around and find Reza who was standing right behind me.

"We surrounded the house. Then just a moment ago, I decided to buy all of his assets that he sold on the stock market using my company's money in London. I want to make it fall. Then for the small businesses they own, they are also in the process of acquisition using my secretary's name. We have to knock him down, so slowly he can't buy anything." Reza stepped to my side.

"I'll be there. Exchange me with mama." Suddenly Tika's voice was clearly heard in my ear. Make me and Reza turn around.

I saw Tika who was standing quite far away from me, accompanied by her husband—Jefri. In the doorway there was also Shilla and Haikal who showed almost the same expression as me, surprised. I couldn't believe what I was hearing, so I decided to approach Tika immediately.

Both of my hands clasped her arms tightly with a pair of my eyes staring at her. "You don't fuck around, I won't let you go there!" my snapping.

"Well, if we were here, would you wait for the body to be sent home?" hardik Tika to me.

My nyaliku instantly shrieked as soon as Tika said like that. I bow my head staring at the end of my own feet. Not that I dared not face the man, but I was not prepared to lose any of them. But Tika kept urging me to agree to her request.

I walked over to the couch and sat there. While thinking about all the possibilities that happened then looked back at Tika who was still standing where she was. Then he stepped closer to me.

"There's no other choice, is there? Besides I'm the one who's going there to change my mama position?" he sat down next to me.

Tika grabbed my right hand and clasped it tightly, at a glance I looked at the grip of his hand, then looked back at him.

"Don't make me regret this decision, if something happens to be equally mama. This time I asked your permission to go there. Not go without permission, but if you don't let me, I'll go anyway. I have my own plan." Tika glanced at Jefri.

"Don't be careless, Tik!" haikal then approached me and Tika.

"We can surround his house and then say goodbye mamah!" haikal again.

"With the life of mamah as the bet? That mean?" snapped Tika again. Everyone was silent, no one said a word.

🎶

Can't we just talk?

Can't we just talk?

Talk about where we're goin'

Before we get lost

Let me out first

Can't get what we want without knowin'

I've never felt like this before

I apologize if I'm movin' too far

Can't we just talk?

Can't we just talk?

Figure out where we're growingin'

🎶

Suddenly Jefri's phone rang, we all simultaneously stared at him who was reaching into his pants pocket and then looked at the screen of his phone.

"Hallo?" he said after sticking his phone to his right ear, while staring at me and Tika. "Hallo?" said again.

Jefri fell silent and still listened to the voice in the phone and lowered his head weakly. "Gua himself will take her." Then he put the phone in his ear.

I didn't think I'd hear that word come out of Jefri's mouth. "What did you say just now? You want to hand Tika over to him? You don't love Tika? Same with your kids?" I shouted while standing.

Tika pulled my hand, making me look at her. "Let me go, I have my own plan." Tika begged me.

Then Jefri approached us and said, "Let me explain Tika's plan."
