Mr. Secretary: Destiny Bound
CHAPTER 39 – UNLOAD THE RITZ!

Hans and Bramasta exchanged glances and then chuckled together.

“Why are you laughing?” Indra raised both eyebrows.

“Finally.it building.. after a long time saved the same Lu, finally outside too,” Bramasta chuckles.

“Actually I every time passing in front of the building, always thinking, why would an Indra Kusumawardhani buy a 3-story building that looks very girly.” Hans chuckled again.

“Isssh you guys yes.” Indra looked at Anton, “Gue needs Lu's help, Ton. Spear the entire floor. Also looks at the face of the building. I don't want any impression of The Ritz left there.”

Anton nodded. He took his gawai. Open the notes application.

“OK. I'm dreadin. What do you need downstairs?”

“Bekas fashion boutique showcase, I want it to be the shop Arini Tea. Behind him there are several room fittings room and Rita's office is also The Ritz admin office, turn it all into production room and raw material storage room.”

Anton nodded and continued typing quickly using his thumb. Bramasta silently observed the faces of Adisti and the Great.

“Ladders there move to foyer. add elevator as well. Elevator is only used for residents only.”

Anton nodded again.

“Wing the other building, a former boutique accessories, turn it into a bakery & pastry cafe. For Adinda.”

Anton looks up. Agung gawking. Bramasta and Hans raised both eyebrows. While Adisti and Adinda smiled knot.

“Bang. You serious?” The Great stared at Indra.

“Yes is. My sister's sister's the only one.”

“Din?” He looked at Adinda.

“Iya Om?”

“You really want to open cafe bakery & pastry?”

Adinda nodded while smiling shyly.

“Kok never told me?” ask the Great again.

“I don't want to make Om Agung burdened.”

“Buying alone is heavy, Din.. Brother mah insensitive.” Adisti embraces Adinda.

“Truly Sister don't know, Dek.” Great self-defense.

“You two, is it okay to discuss The Ritz building? You two have bad memories of that place?" tanya Bramasta was curious.

Adisti looked at Agung, the two then chuckled while shaking his hand.

“Bad memories are best forgotten. After all the building was innocent,” Adisti smiled at her husband.

The grand nodded in agreement.

“Tumben nih brother and sister getting along. Usually Tom & Jerry.” Hans quipped.

“OK.. next?” ask Anton again.

“Area ex salon, change its interior and layout. Still its function as a salon but with the concept of young people. I don't want to do a premium salon. Money turnover is slow.”

Anton nodded.

“Two floors?”

“The plan wants me to rent it for the office. Each occupies one wing of the building.2 rental offices. How do you think?” Indra looked at Hans and Bramasta alternately.

“Location is strategic yes.. You can also get the idea.” Bramasta nodded in agreement.

“Listen-heard, Mr. Armand wants to open a branch of his law firm in Bandung, Ndra,” Hans looked seriously.

“About when?”

“I don’t know. He's still on his honeymoon so it's a little hard to reach him. His phone dies more often,” Hans chuckles.

Mr. Armand, the lawyer used in Sanjaya and B Group for the management of matters related to the law or to subpoena against corporate opponents related to fraud committed.

“OK. It can be arranged for its division. The middle part we can use for meeting rooms that can be used interchangeably for users of the rental office. Shorting their rental space space, can be as the advantage of the building rental office later,” Anton explained further.

“Tar first, Ndra. Salon, who's going to hang out?" Bramasta shook his hand.

"Mommy. From the first Mami wants to have a salon.”

Bramasta nodded in understanding.

“Floor 3?” Anton looked at Indra.

“Made as comfortable as Arini Tea only.”

Indra's answer made them all smile knot. But it was a surprise for Arini. He looked at Indra in confusion.

"But the place belongs to A Indra. Me and the children were allowed to occupy the building, which means a lot to us. Especially plus shops and production houses. This.... too much, A.”

“Do not worry about Tea. I am sincere. I'm worried about the safety of you three.”

“But, I feel very sorry for it all, A. Let me pay the cost of living there. Consider it rent.”

“Please, don't be so Tea. Just accept what it is, OK? This as a form of my responsibility, first because I accidentally injured Teteh's hand and second because of my existence, made Teteh's ex-husband become jealous and beat Teteh.”

Arini looked surprised.

“Where does A Indra know?”

“So right because he saw our togetherness? Why didn't Teteh tell me when I asked about the cause of Teteh's ex-husband who suddenly came in the morning blind?”

“I.. I don't know where he saw us..” Arini.

“In Ayam Grandpa,” Indra replied, “We managed to get CCTV restaurant Chicken Grandpa we came to overnight. Teteh's ex-husband saw us when we were in the car in the drive lane thru.”

Indra thrust his gawai. Showing footage of the CCT that Anton hacked.

“Teleon who was not willing to Teteh received from him right?”

“Ya.”

“What happened in that blind morning?”

“I.. I was asleep then woke up when I heard my phone ring. Because I was still sleepy, I did not read first who called at that hour.”

Arini paused for a moment.

“He asked me to open the door. He's at the door of the house. If I don't want to open the door, he will make a fuss for the neighbors to be disturbed.”

“Teteh believe?”

“I didn't believe it at first. I ignored his words. But shortly afterwards there was the sound of several pots being kicked. I hurried to open the door to drive it away.”

“She inquires about me?”

“Ya,” voice Arini whispered softly, “Sambil menc3k1k and banged my head against the wall.”

“Subhanallah!”

Adisti hugged Bramasta's arm. The sister scrimped the end of her veil in agitation. Agung who saw it instantly pulled his elbow to sit in his chair.

“I.. I did not say anything about A Indra. I did not mention the name A Indra at all.”.

“Why?”

“To protect A Indra.”

“She got even fiercer when I was not willing to say anything about A Indra. He berated and insulted me in a soft voice so that the neighbors do not suspect.”

“Why doesn't Tet screaming for help?” Adisti asked in a choked voice.

“When we dic3k1k and d1pukat1 continuously, can we shout? Even to breathe it feels very difficult.” considering it makes Arini's eyes pool. A tear slid down.

Indra wiped the tears with her fingertips.

“Then I raised the voice of Alif calling me from above. Even I can't ask Alif to stay on top. Go inside his room. Lock her door to protect herself with her sister,” Arini sobbing, “What kind of mother am I? Can't protect his own son.”.

Indra embraces Arini, calming Arini.

“Teteh great mom for Alif and Abay.” Indra said slowly.

“I could hear the voice of Alif running down the stairs. I didn't see how Alif attacked his father to stop kicking and beating me. But I saw how Alif's body was thrown with his head and back hitting the production room door frame.”

Arini is sobbing.

“Alif for some time not moving. The guy whispered to me.”

“He said what?”

“Dead you! Damn woman!”

“So that's the chronology?” Mami and others emerged from behind the wall where a large mirror was attached near the door. Abay in Papi's arms, asleep.

Mommy's eyes are glazed. So are the eyes of Mommy and Mommy. While the gloomy-faced fathers listened to Arini's story.

“How long has Aunt and everyone stood there?” ask Bramasta.

“Pretty long to hear Indra's plans about The Ritz. Mami agreed with Indra's plan. You three better stay there. Her surveillance and security is better than staying in your house,” Mami looks at Arini.

With a quick step towards Arini. Hugging Arini.

“We won't let him hurt you again. Understood it? Just accept the arrangement from Indra. Without but. OK?”

Arini sobbing in Mami's arms. Mommy and Mommy stroke Arini's arm.
