Arga was waiting for Lucas' call; he had given the man a task. You could say Lucas seemed to be able to keep more secrets than anyone else. He liked people who could compromise on a mission, and Lucas could be trusted even though he wasn't even fifty percent for Arga. While waiting for Lucas' call, Arga cleaned himself up because he had just arrived and also wanted to rest for a while. His mother didn't know what he was doing right now, but maybe it was only temporary. Arga was sure that his mother would definitely hire a spy for him. It used to be like that too; he thought his mother didn't believe him, but apparently, his mother just didn't want him to get hurt and instead hurt other people, which made him end up hurting her too, without meaning to. He became drawn into it.
Meanwhile, Sean is still in Bali; he will go home this afternoon because Arga has also returned from Bandung. Actually, Sean will go home tomorrow, but because Arga is alone in the apartment, he can't let Arga think narrowly, even though he knows Arga won't. Well, so far, Arga has lived well. However, it turns out that Sean also has an appointment before returning to Jakarta.
Sorry, sir, I'm late," he said.
"No problem; I haven't been here long. Sean also said
That someone was a man who promised to meet Sean this afternoon.
"Sir, are you going back to Jakarta this afternoon?" he asked, to which Sean gave a nod.
"What did you get?"
"They are already in Indonesia, but the man is still in Singapore, he said.
"What about that woman? Sean asked with a sigh.
"He's already in Jakarta, sir; he even went to Bandung yesterday. It's just–"
"Not her, but the woman he loves. As soon as the man understood, he nodded in understanding.
"As expected, he is still alive. "Obviously it's that guy too," Sean chuckled.
"What I mean is, is it all right? If that's the case, we'd know first. He said in reply: The man nodded.
"Keep an eye on the other woman, and tell me what the old man's plan will be. For the time being, don't report anything to Arga because I don't want him to be burdened. It's just that, if it's for the woman he loves, you can report what you know, even if it's something small or even dangerous. Don't let him find out from other people; he has to find out for himself, because that's your job. He explained to the person, and after understanding, he gave a nod. Sean also understood that the man in front of him had a lot to do, so he immediately ended the conversation.
After Sean left, Lucas sighed, Ah, yes, that man is Lucas. He himself was confused about who to work for and for whom, but one thing Lucas was sure of was that his master was a loyal person. Even though Sean is Arga's friend, he never asks anything strange except to look after Arga. They just impressed Lucas with their friendship. He was lucky, because his meeting with these three friendly men was also enough to make Lucas feel like he had a job and a worthwhile life. During this time, no one really appreciated his work. In fact, when he was still a private detective agent, until he worked for the government, he was just a subordinate who would be ready to be thrown away if he didn't succeed. He is a person who will be thrown anywhere for the sake of a mission or project, even though he still works outside the field. Sometimes Lucas prefers the work given by his master like this, but after meeting Tirta and his men, he then met Sean and finally Arga, and Lucas feels better working with them, even though he has not been able to leave the job that has been his source of income so far.
Lucas contacted Arga because he had promised to contact the man if he had the information. Arga's cellphone rang, and Lucas was still waiting.
Hello. As soon as the call was answered, Lucas went straight to the point.
Boss, I'm sorry to interrupt, he said politely.
"Just relax, Luke; what's wrong? Have you gotten the information? Send it to my email, or you can say some of it over the phone. He said it directly.
Yes, boss, I have. I will send it, but there are some things that are blocking it," said Luke.
"Don't use your feelings. Luke, you just find out and never involve the innocent. That's enough; just find out the information, or just give it to me. If you feel he needs to be warned, tell me, okay? I'll find a way. I don't want to use Luke's dirty methods; that's why I asked you to observe these people. I don't want anyone else to get hurt by it. Arga explained later that he deliberately told Lucas, so the man knew, that he shouldn't kill if anything was necessary. And not other people; Arga doesn't want to involve the people around him; he is afraid that they will disappear, just like Maudy three years ago.
Yes, boss, answered Lucas.
"Okay, when you understand, send what you've got to my e-mail, and remember, keep this secret, Luke, even from my friends. He said he was asking for help.
"Why, sir?" Lucas asked subconsciously. "
"Don't ask why now, Luke; you'll find out later too. There's no time for now, you know. Arga said, "You understand? He said it again, as if seeking approval from Lucas.
Yes, sir, I understand. All right," he said.
Arga disconnected their call, a sign of the end of the telephone conversation, and Lucas, who even betrayed his master, sighed. Let's say Lucas betrayed Arga, but he only did it to Sean and Tirta, who are even his best friends; they always ask the same thing. They didn't want Arga to get hurt again, and the three of them even kept secrets from each other. Strangely, as if they didn't know anything, they were able to eat and drink together. Really, what would happen if they knew each other's problems? Lucas thought. He can't judge someone based on their face, wealth, profession, or even just the behaviour that we usually see. Not at all.
Arga himself read every sheet of information that Lucas gave him, and unconsciously, his hands clenched because he hated someone. Arga never knew that hating other people would make you lose a lot of energy, both negative and even positive, but more often to positive energy, and only negative energy remains. Arga immediately pressed his phone and called his mother.
"Hello, Ma," he said immediately.
"Yes, no, why, son? She asked.
"Mama was invited to Nuril's wedding? Arga asked Arga directly; maybe his mother was silent for a while, knowing that she would receive news like this.
"Yeah, why, kid? The mother asked again, and Arga shook her head but realised that no one was looking, so she immediately answered.
"It doesn't matter." He said making Rita, the mother from across there, worry about him
"Ga, one thing mommy wants is for you never to get hurt again, and remember, kid, don't waste your time on useless things. You don't deserve cheating, and don't ever get your hands dirty; mama will dirty them for you. Because this time, Mama will never let her win once again, let alone win from Mama's child. Mama will make them pay for you and Maudy." Rita said calmly, but the glint in her eyes was proof enough; maybe Arga didn't see it, but Arga knew. From the way her mother spoke, she said everything, and it seemed her mother knew something.
"Does Mama know that Maudy is still alive? Arga asked again.
"No! Arga, Maudy is dead, son; don't bring it up again, mama begs you. She said it beggingly, as if she were very guilty just hearing Maudy's name.
No, Ma, Maudy is still alive."
"What do you mean, Ga? Rita couldn't stop thinking about her son's thoughts.
"Ma, take it easy. Mama will know the truth, he said directly.
"You don't do weird things anymore, do you? Mama already told you that.
"Mama, take it easy; Arga is still sane. He said it again, interrupting his mother's words. "Until tomorrow, Ma, at Nuril's party," he said.
