The Return of the Mafia
Artha's Secret
"Anata wa nani o kangaete imasu ka?"
"What are you thinking?"
Nhao Zhiro whispered, asking Artha, what happened to her assistant. There was a chance to sit closer to Artha.
"Shu nashi's. There is no Great Lord."
But Artha dodged. He said he was okay. And don't want to give a definite explanation.
Hearing the answer given by his assistant, Nhao Zhiro no longer asked. But he whispered again, "I'll find out for myself! Jibun de shirabemasu." Nhao Zhiro's. Because he didn't get the answer he wanted.
Artha was just a breath-busting, hearing the words of her Great Lord, who was currently acting by becoming Young Master Alexander Noir. They are both currently in their family home.
Shortly thereafter, Alex's grandfather appears. Kenji Hiragama Noir's. The Great Lord of the Noir family. Founder of Kenji Noir Corporation, commonly abbreviated as KNJ.
This was where Artha was finally convinced, by what she had just seen. A picture of Alexander Noir's family.
Pluck up!
Nhao Zhiro patted his assistant softly, which did not distract him from the old geezer who was currently in front of the two of them.
"Eh, uh..."
Artha was just flirting alone, at the time of getting full attention from Kenji Hiragama Noir. Because of Alex's grandfather, smilingly look at him.
"Artha. Is that really you?" kenji asked, narrowing his eyes. Seeing how Artha's face that was currently getting more and more clearly was pale.
This of course made Nhao Zhiro confused, with the meeting of his assistant and also his grandfather Alex.
He thought that, the two knew each other and knew each other. Even Kenji instantly recognized Artha's face, which was currently being misbehaved.
Grep's!
Suddenly Kenji hugged Artha, as Nhao Zhiro's assistant stood up and intended to bend her body, to give her greetings.
Artha who was shocked, found the treatment of Kenji Hiragama Noir.
So does Nhao Zhiro, who never thought that his grandfather Alex knew Artha's assistant. What he knows as a very private person. Even his assistant never told him about his personal life since long ago, because Artha was known to him at the time of the accident. What Nhao Zhiro experienced in his early teens.
"How are you doing Artha? You didn't recognize me wrong, did you?" asked Kenji, with a sad face.
Hearing this latter question, made Nhao Zhiro frown. He is shocked and astonished, because his grandfather Alex, mentions himself as a father to Artha.
As for Artha himself, many silent and faceless list without welcoming Kenji's embrace, and did not answer any of the questions that had been asked by his grandfather Alexander Noir.
"Grandfather!"
Yukito comes to break the silence in the living room, with his call to Grandpa.
"Yes, Grandpa knows Yukito. Are you done?" replied Kenji, who asked the granddaughter a question back.
Yukito nodded for sure, then answered the question while asking both fingers of his thumb. "It's Cake, come on!"
Apparently, Yukito was preparing lunch for all of them, with the help of the chef in this house.
"Come on! We should have lunch first, then after that we can talk comfortably. There must be a lot of questions that you want to ask Alex as well" Kenji asked, offending Alex. What he saw earlier was like asking him a question.
Yukito held his grandfather's hand, while Nhao Zhiro, walking beside Artha's assistant.
"You owe me a lot of explanation" said Nhao Zhiro, whispering beside his assistant. Because he does have a lot of questions that are in his brain right now.
Artha was silent, and did not say a single word. Moreover, trying to give an explanation, because Artha thought that, this time is not the right time to discuss about her with the Noir family. Yang was currently a part of his Great Lord Nhao Zhiro.
*****
The night was late, but Nhao Zhiro could not close his eyes.
He was still thinking about the words spoken by his grandfather Alex, to give an explanation to himself as well as Yukito. About his relationship with Artha, so that he could recognize artha quickly. Even though he was old, and had not seen a guest who had helped his grandson for a long time.
According to the explanation given by Kenji, it turns out that Artha's assistant was his adopted son in the past. So, she was Rian Noir's older sister.
But I don't know what happened, which made Artha decide to leave the house. At that age he was twenty-one years old.
So at that time, Rian Noir, his father Alexander Noir, was only eighteen years old. Because the age gap between the two of them is three years. And Kenji has been trying to find her whereabouts, but has found Artha nowhere in Tokyo.
If you remember, at the age of Artha who is now forty-eight years old, it means that it was almost twenty-seven years ago. And Artha, too, had been her assistant for the same period of time.
"That means that when Artha helped me, she was on the run from the Noir family. It's only fitting that he won't tell who he really is, and just say that he's just someone's life."
"And at that moment, I took her to Yokohama. So the old man couldn't find him in Tokyo."
Finally Nhao Zhiro was able to draw his own conclusions, how about the life journey of Artha's assistant. With Alex's family.
But the question Nhao Zhiro himself asked was, how the beginning of the story, Artha's assistant could decide to leave his adoptive family. He gave her a very decent life.
"I'll find out. But, in two days I'm going back to Jakarta, Indonesia. How can I investigate this mystery? Because Artha couldn't possibly tell me."
Nhao Zhiro decided to make a plan so that he could stay in Tokyo longer. Or if not, Artha will be invited to Jakarta.
Because of Benjiro's problem, it can still be overcome after Benjiro returns to Japan.
With a satisfied smile, Nhao Zhiro made up his mind. If the plan this time has to work.
"It turns out you were full of mystery since Artha first. And it looks like this time, your mystery will soon be revealed."
After deciding with his plan, Nhao Zhiro could close his eyes quickly. Especially at this time, the clock has shown at 12:30 pm. And everyone must have been lulled into their dreamland.
