Just as Markonah arrived at her destination, she saw many women crowding in front of the company office. They seemed to be waiting for someone."So crowded," she said, getting out of the car.When a man opened the company gate, the women immediately swarmed him."That's the Director!" they shouted.Markonah felt the man looked familiar. His agile movements made it easy for him to avoid the women's onslaught. "Tukijo!"An old lady approached Tukijo and teased him. "Haish! Silly old lady, forgetting her age!" she scoffed.Tukijo ran frantically, bumping into a fat girl. "Chuuuu." The girl forced a kiss on Tukijo.Smack!"Take that sandal!" Markonah shouted, approaching them.Tukijo turned and saw the woman he adored. He thought it was a hallucination, so he rubbed his eyes several times. "This isn't a dream, right?" Tukijo pinched his arm as hard as he could. "Ouch," he winced in pain. "It's real!"Markonah's face looked serious, hiding something in her hand. She walked past Tukijo, whi
At night, Ningsih immediately informed Tukijo by phone about the news conveyed by Kris."Tukijo, we will visit Uncle Jesen tomorrow morning to make peace," Ningsih said."Why all of a sudden?" Tukijo asked."Someone wants to pit us against each other.""Did you get the news from Manager Kris?""Yes, he told me earlier this evening. Be ready, at six in the morning we will head out.""Alright," Tukijo replied. Then Ningsih hung up the phone.If Manager Kris informed her earlier this evening, they might be in action now. A shocking news would surely be reported tomorrow morning, and their main target is me because I am Sis's only weakness, Tukijo thought.Tukijo mulled over his thoughts repeatedly. "Whatever happens tomorrow, I must leave here immediately; I don't want to be a burden," he murmured.Tukijo quickly packed his belongings. He planned to leave home at midnight.When midnight arrived, Tukijo made sure everyone was asleep. He sent a text message to Ningsih.[Yesterday I found s
"Hahaha. I do like you, Miss Yulie. But I will never betray Sis Ningsih. Sooner or later, I will get you without having to betray anyone," Cecep said, releasing himself from Yulie and leaving her."Good!" Ningsih said, walking quickly past Cecep. Suddenly, she stopped.Ningsih was actually looking for Kris in his room. Accidentally, she caught Cecep with Yulie."Have you seen Manager Kris?" Ningsih asked Cecep."I haven’t seen him since this morning, Sis," he replied.Then, Ningsih asked the marketing staff."Has Manager Kris arrived?""We haven’t seen Mr. Kris in his room. It seems he hasn't come yet," Susanti said.Where is that man? He usually appears even when not sought, Ningsih thought."Oh, you’re back at work. How is your father?" Ningsih asked."Thanks to your help, my father can be discharged tomorrow.""Thank goodness."...During the search, Tukijo was across the street in front of the company office. He sat cross-legged in a hoodie, his face covered with a mask, and his e
The dilapidated warehouse where they were hiding Kris was in the middle of a yard. The atmosphere was very quiet. Even the locals might not know there was a warehouse there, as the yard was so overgrown with trees and bushes."Brother, how are we going to save Uncle?" Bagas asked."Shh. We'll wait until it's safe," Tukijo said, covering Bagas's mouth.After waiting for two hours, one by one, the people left Kris, leaving only two guards.Tukijo, with his vagrant appearance, approached them openly."Excuse me, Sirs, I came to the yard looking for food. But I haven't found anything. Would you be so kind as to give me even a mouthful of rice?" Tukijo said."Get out of here! There's no food for you! Leave before I kill you." One of the men spit and shouted rudely at Tukijo.Tukijo grinned. He approached them even closer, making the two men puzzled. "This madman needs to be dealt with," one of them said. Suddenly, Tukijo surprised them. Quickly, he threw both fists at their faces.Thud!Th
"Ah, why didn’t you let me kill him?" Tukijo asked."I'm sorry for my selfishness. I still need him to find out the truth about my mother’s family and my sister's death," Kris replied. "Besides, he won’t die from just a few scratches. Behind him, there’s still a large force ready to die on their way to that warehouse. So, we better leave before they come."Indodrink Company actually belongs to the Jubaedah family, Sukrisno's mother. Since Jubaedah's parents only had one child, her, she inherited all of her parents’ wealth.Suddenly, a strong man named Cokro appeared, ensnaring Jubaedah until she fell into his grasp. Cokro was a mafia leader rumored to be very cruel and vicious. However, Jubaedah had fallen deeply in love, so at that time, she didn’t care much about his background. Eventually, they got married.A few months later, when Jubaedah was pregnant with her first child, a mystery occurred. Her parents were gruesomely killed in their bed with several gashes on their stomachs. I
Tukijo turned his mind. In the incident that befell Kak Kris's family, he concluded that the old man was planning to kill Yulie and make him the scapegoat. If this happened, it would surely ignite Ferguso's anger. He would accept any offer from anyone willing to help him kill me, thought Tukijo.Then Tukijo muttered, "And at that moment, the old man Cokro will assist Ferguso as a criminal in disguise.""You should go save Yulie before my father makes you the scapegoat," Kris suggested. "I'll hide here with Bagas.""No," Tukijo rejected. "Do you think this is a safe place to hide?""Huh? Did you see anyone following us?""I didn't see anyone, but maybe someone has planted a tracking device on your body."Kris felt around his body. "Oh no! This..." He found a small round object, like a button."Someone will come soon to kill you and also Bagas," said Tukijo."If you're here helping me, then what about Yulie?""Yulie is at the Gaje Company Office; Kak Ningsih won't stand by if anything h
"Oh my, why is there a traffic jam at a time like this when we're in a hurry?" grumbled Teguh as he drove the car with Ningsih.Vroom ... vroom.Sugeng arrived riding a clunky motorcycle."Come on, sis! Just follow me," he urged.Without thinking too much, Ningsih got off and hopped on behind Sugeng while glancing at the motorcycle he was using. Ningsih felt familiar with that motorbike."Let’s go fast!" Sugeng rode the motorcycle at super speed."By the way, where did you get this motorcycle?" Ningsih asked in the midst of the high-speed ride."Uh, this... it's Markonah's motorcycle. Hehe."Suddenly...Dhoodododododododot ...The motorcycle they were riding on broke down in the middle of the road.In Sugeng's mind, Markonah's words echoed. "Don’t speed, or it will break down!""Oh no, it's really broken down? Ugh." Sugeng grumbled."Alright then, I’ll just run," Ningsih said as she got off the motorcycle. She thought to herself, since it was close, she wouldn't need a helicopter."Bu
"Raw materials?" Tukijo asked, repeating Kris's words."That's right, and the place where they are moving those sacks is my house," Kris revealed.Kris understood that Tukijo was recently appointed as director, so he didn't quite grasp the characteristics of the sterilized sacks used by the company to store raw materials."Huh? Your house? That means old man Paimin is a trusted person of Mr. Cokro?""Correct, this is where we live," Bagas interjected."I had no idea that Mr. Paimin was on my father's side," Kris said.Tukijo thought to himself, this time his prediction was off. Mr. Cokro's target wasn't the Obatofarma Company, which was currently under Ferguso's control. The kidnapping of Yulie was merely a diversion so that he could wreak havoc on the Gaje Company."Ugh!" Tukijo exhaled."Oh, isn’t that Young Master Kris?" one of Paimin's workers remarked.Suddenly, Cokro exited the house with several of his subordinates."Oh no!" Tukijo exclaimed. "Sis, we've been discovered. Run!!!
"Stop!" shouted the bald man.Instantly, Tukijo slammed the brakes on the car, causing everyone inside to lurch forward."Are you serious? This is the place?" said the man in the jacket."A cemetery? What the hell is this! You brought us to a place like this!" Tukijo retorted."Sorry, we can only show you this far. It would be trouble if we were found out. Behind the cemetery, there's a large house. That's our headquarters," the bald man explained."I'll reveal a hidden secret if you let us go now!" continued the man in the jacket."A secret? What do you know?""Our leader is the director of Kencotstory Corporation, Boss Mandop. His crazy idea is to produce kid's snacks mixed with marijuana. He even has a hidden marijuana farm in the city forest. There’s a warehouse there filled with bags of marijuana.""What! That’s absolutely outrageous!" Markonah exclaimed."Last I heard, Boss Mandop's son was planning to capture a little boy named Bagas. That boy would be used as a guinea pig to f
"You, Ujang!" Kris exclaimed.Ujang? Oh, so he’s the Young Master from Kencotstory Company, Ningsih thought. She lifted her head to glare at the man coldly.Ujang covered his face with splayed fingers. "Haha. I see you still remember me. If only your sister had chosen me to be her husband, she wouldn’t have gone through what she did, right, Mr. Kris?""Heh! I think my sister chose the right person. Even though she had to leave her child at such a young age, at least she found happiness in her life.""Tsk! You and your sister are the same! Uncle Cokro is right; you both deserve to die! Hahaha. Skin them alive! Kill them as you please!"Ujang turned his back on Ningsih. Suddenly, he remembered something. As his men were about to attack Ningsih and Kris, he said, "Wait!" The man turned back to face Ningsih, bending down and placing both hands on the edge of the chair where Ningsih was sitting, causing her thighs to be caught between his hands."I admit you're an amazing woman. But still,
"I'm sorry, Young Master, but it seems they realized the tracking device placed on the Miss. The device is around you," Teguh said over the phone.Tukijo fell silent. He then looked at Bagas, whose eyes were puffy."Oh God, how can a child so small have to experience something like this," he murmured, feeling pity."Should I track every CCTV on the streets, Young Master?""No need, I know a more efficient way. Prepare 50 million Rupiah! I will be back soon!"Then Tukijo approached Markonah and Bagas."Let's go!" he said."Where to?" Markonah asked."We need to force those two to talk. I believe this is connected to them."They returned to the company's headquarters to grab a suitcase containing 50 million Rupiah."Bang Teguh, watch over Bagas, okay?" Tukijo asked. He then left with Markonah to confront the two captives they had captured at the hospital.Upon opening the door to a room that could be described as a warehouse, they saw Marno standing with his arms crossed, glaring at the
Yulie intended to call Ningsih to let her know that Cecep had regained consciousness.In a similar situation, Bagas was hiding in a trash can next to the neighborhood watch post. He was crying, crouching with his trembling body while holding a knife.Fifteen minutes earlier, when Bagas was waiting for Kris with his teacher, Marni, an unknown man approached. The man claimed he was sent by Kris to pick up Bagas. In fact, Bagas had just finished a call with Kris using Marni's phone.Of course, Marni didn’t believe the stranger. When she failed to persuade him, she pulled out a knife to threaten him.Marni tried to protect Bagas. The man, enraged, stabbed her with the knife. He then withdrew the knife and carried Bagas away.The little boy struggled, biting the man's shoulder hard until the man cried out in pain."Aaaaargh, damn it!"Bagas tried to break free. He fell but ran toward his teacher."Mrs. Gulu!" he shouted."Bagas, run! Hide!" Marni urged."But Mrs. Gulu, huwaaaa." The child
"Wait!" Markonah tried to stop Tukijo. However, rather than that, she chose to calm Cecep down first."Doctor... hurry up, Doctor. If anything happens to Cecep, you have to be responsible..." Tukijo stopped his words when he saw Cecep conscious, lying on the bed. "Cecep! You’re awake? How are you feeling?" Tukijo asked worriedly."What kind of expression is that! Do you think I'm going to die that easily?" Cecep immediately felt pain all over his body. "Aaaaargh, my whole body hurts.""Let me examine you first," the doctor said. "Please stick out your tongue!"Cecep stuck out his tongue as instructed by the doctor."It looks like you’re showing signs of poisoning," the doctor said."Earlier, someone stuffed something in my mouth when I regained consciousness. That's what made me convulse and vomit," Cecep explained.Then the doctor provided a prescription and instructed one of them to fetch the medication. "It would be best if someone stays here to accompany the patient," the doctor a
Markonah arrived just as Tukijo was sleeping."Then, Dad, I'll go fill up the gas first," Hartono said."Okay, Dad, be careful."Markonah sat next to Tukijo, gazing at his face. "You idiot! You always do whatever you want, even if it puts you in danger," Markonah scolded, while Tukijo remained with his eyes closed.Suddenly, Tukijo opened one eye. "Sorry for making you worry," he said."Ugh! Are you pretending to sleep?" Markonah replied, annoyed."No, I really was sleeping. I woke up because of your nagging," he countered with a pout. Then he glanced at something Markonah was holding. "What’s that?" His eyes were locked onto a plastic bag containing a lunch box."Ugh, you know I brought something," she replied."I’ve only eaten bread from you since this morning, of course I was hoping for something." Tukijo pouted."Hah, really?""Yep." Tukijo nodded."I want something too," Kris murmured, feeling sorry for the couple in front of him. He was in the patient bed next to Tukijo in the s
At Gaje Herbafood Company in Jagakarsa."Split up! Check all access roads! If you find any clues, contact me immediately!" Ningsih commanded as she led the effort to track down the person who had stolen the company’s raw materials."Understood, got it!"They scattered. Shortly afterward, Marno found spilled oat powder along H. Abdul Karim Road. He quickly contacted Ningsih. However, just as he was taking out his phone, someone suddenly hit him from behind.Thud!"Ugh," Marno groaned, holding his head.Still half-conscious, he struggled to press his phone to call Ningsih and then stuffed it into his pocket. In a blur, Marno saw that it was one of his coworkers, Saepul, who had struck him."Hey! Is this the best a bodyguard of the director can do?"Saepul smiled smugly, looking down on Marno. Then a few unknown individuals appeared behind him."Tch! Just a cowardly weakling pretending to be tough!" Marno retorted.Saepul hit Marno's head hard, causing him to stagger and eventually fall.
