Markus was in Zack's room, waiting to take a bath,
Zack sees the atmosphere of Zack's spacious room as a palace,
Markus did not think he had a friend as rich as Zack, because what Markus saw, Zack was a simple commoner, a simple man,
He did not display the wealth in himself and his behavior that Markus knew,
Valuable items such as sharp weapons and pistols in Zack's room, can Markus guess at what figure it all costs, all of it,
Mark is increasingly respectful of Zack for his simplicity,
"Zack you're done"
Markus asked while looking at Zack's gun neatly arranged in a glass-covered table
"Yes, I'm done, hurry up"
Mark obeyed Zack's orders to clean himself up,
Zack began styling his weapons that he had left behind during his military service,
"There's a lot of your weapons Zack"
Mark's timpals from behind while wiping his wet hair with a towel, and,
"This weapon has trained me to this extent"
"I did not expect, turns out your shooting ability has been trained since childhood, just so smart and precise you"
Markus praised Zack's ability to be on target when shooting and aiming for a manhunt while training in the military with him,
.....
Zack looked up at the night sky at the window of his room,
Markus, who was tidying himself up, was surprised to see Zack pensively,
"What do you think Zack is?"
Instantly Zack awoke from his daydream, stunned by Mark's question,
"You're Markus, I'm not just thinking about going back to Indonesia"
"What makes you think that Zack is there?, doesn't your family here love you so much?"
"They love me so much, but I don't know, I feel like I want to go back to my country to solve all the life questions that have always been on my mind"
Mada, who was about to call the two boys, overheard the conversation of Zack and Markus who wanted to return to Indonesia,
Mada smiled as if happy with the intention of Zack who wanted to return to his country,
"Zack, Markus, let's eat, have you ready?"
Mada's call to break Zack's mind and markus's talk,
"He's Mada, we'll be right down"
Mark smiled at Mada, and obeyed his order to eat together immediately below,
.....
Markus and Zack sit in the dining room with Mr. Antonio and Mada,
"Let's eat, son, this is your favorite, right,?"
Mada offers Zack's favorite spaghetti, though,
Turns out Mada still remembers everything Zack likes,
Zack took the food Mada had prepared, as well as Markus,
If Markus had all the food he'd eat, hehe
"Zack, your plan after graduation, where are you going?" Mr. Antonio asked Zack's plan, though,
"If possible, Zack wants to take on the task in Indonesia well"
Uhuk..
Uhuk...
Mr. Antonio choked when he heard Zack wanted to go to Indonesia, he hurriedly took the drinking water to stop his cough,
"You okay dad?"
"I'm sorry I was just a little surprised to hear you wanted to go to Indonesia"
"Why is Dad so shocked"
Mada codes Zack not to ask much questions while eating, but Zack understands, and Zack apologizes to his father and continues to eat again,
....
The day had begun at night, as usual Mr. Antonio was busy with his business work, Zack also met his father in the workspace, seen Mr. Antonio was opening sheets of files that he had to sign, he said,
"What about dad's business?"
Zack massaged Mr Antonio's shoulder with both hands,
"Zack,"
All is well Zack, it's only possible because the father is now getting older, the energy and mind of the father is getting tired easily "
Mr. Antonio's timpal, took both of Zack's hands massaging his shoulders,
"Zack I want to talk to you about something"
Mr. Antonio started serious talks with Zack, he said,
"What's dad?"
"Do you want to continue with your business?"
Zack was silent as if he was thinking long, he let out a deep breath, he said,
Actually Zack wants to continue his father's business, because after all, even though he is an adopted child, Mr. Antonio has helped him grow a lot to date,
But Zack also has his own mission, which is to solve the case of his family's death in Jakarta, which has been closed by the police,
Zack nodded his head, signalling he had agreed to Mr. Antonio's request, to continue his father's business,
"Thank you, Zack, I really believe you"
Mr. Antonio hugged Zack happily, though,
....
Mark was standing looking up at the night sky on the balcony terrace of Zack's room,
Seeing something strange in one secluded room,
Markus saw the shadow of a man who was torturing another man in a chair mercilessly,
"I didn't see it wrong"
Mark's gaze remained towards the small room,
Mark tried to find Zack to tell him what he saw, but Mark didn't find Zack,
Finally Mark walked himself closer to the room he suspected himself of,
Markus arrived at the door of the room, but there was no suspicious sound at all,
Mark began to open the door of the room, and it turned out that the door of the room was unlocked,
Markus easily got into it, there was no trace there, just a chair arranged on each side of the wall, it looks like Mr. Antonio's guard room,
"Mmh..."
Alex's small cough made Mark surprised, he turned to look at Alex,
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry, but when I was standing outside Zack's room, I saw a shadow of a man torturing another man here, that's why I came here"
"Maybe you saw it wrong, or maybe it's just your imagination"
Mark accepts that he may have misseen or fantasized, but his heart still believes what he sees is true,
Markus did not extend this issue, because he realized that it would not be good for him,
"I'm sorry if it's like that, maybe you're right, it's just my delusion, then I'll go back to Zack's room"
Mark returned to Zack's room, as he was about to enter the house, Mark saw Mada cooking in the kitchen alone,
Markus intends to help her,
"Mada, may I help you"
Markus tried to offer his help to Mada with sincerity,
Mada looked at Mark's eyes sharply, though,
It seemed that Mada was no stranger to Mark's gaze on her,
There was no reply from Mada, for he was so serious about seeing Mark's gaze,
"Mada, are you okay?"
Markus waved his hand in front of Mada's face,
"Sorry, you only remember someone after seeing your eyes"
At once Mada's gaze was awakened when Markus tried to resuscitate him,
Markus smiled, with Mada's surprised behavior as he waved his hand in front of his face,
The two laughed, realizing their silliness,
Finally Markus helped Mada cook,
"Let me Mada, sit down,"
Markus tried to replace his role to fry some food to serve later tonight,
....
While at Mr Antonio's office, Zack asked about his father's men who were involved in drug trafficking last afternoon,
"Why the father's men became drug dealers, Zack was very disappointed"
Zack's hands began to clench, out of hatred for his father's men,
Mr. Antonio calmly tries to answer Zack's questions, tries to hide the truth,
"Alex interrogation said he said someone was threatening the safety of his family if he didn't deliver the drugs, which is why he became a dealer to protect his family,"
That reason did make Zack's sense, but Zack did not find any circumstances threatening the man when he was caught,
But Zack didn't prolong the matter, he knew enough, and the man had to be thrown in jail,
"You take it easy, Zack, that guy Alex has handed over to the police"
Zack nodded, and smiled,
He also retired from Mr. Antonio's office,
"Tomorrow or the day after, you can start working at Zack's father's office"
"Okay dad, Zack went down to the room first, I love Mark alone"
Mr. Antonio smiled at the innocence of zack, he said,
Actually he did not want to hide his identity as a mobster to Zack,
But Mr Antonio doesn't want Zack to be disappointed if he gets to know the truth,
.....
"It looks like you're all familiar"
Zack hugged Mada who was jokingly sitting down to see Markus cooking,
Zack was thrilled to see Mada smiling widely jokingly with Markus in the kitchen,
It felt like just this time Zack saw Mada's loose smile after a few years,
It looks very loose smile Mada laughs when joking with Markus, Zack as if seeing a mother who was joking with her son, Zack,
"Zack, you sit down son, so glad you have a friend like Markus, look at him, he's fighting to help Mada cook when he can't, hehe finally look at his face"
Mada smiled again to see Markus's face filled with flour,
Zack smiled, too,
The atmosphere was so warm with full of laughter by Mark's pretentious behavior can cook when he can't,
"Mada, I'm so happy to see you smiling like this again"
Zack hugs his old Mada, who,
Mada realized that this was the first time he could smile after several years,
Zack still remembers the last time Mada laughed freely maybe when Zack was a child, growing up Mada can only smile potluck, he said,
I don't know what makes it that way, Zack doesn't know,
