20 Years Adrift
Chapter 96. Attacks Tragedy

After Sintya is caught, Bimo has pulled some hired spies to guard around Affan. He leaves two men watching Affan's house, one of whom will follow where Affan went and the other will stay. While working they are undercover so as not to raise suspicion for the surrounding residents.

One of Affan's bodyguards initially does not suspect the existence of the car following Affan. They just follow. The difference is, Affan's bodyguards follow with the motor so that it is more agile.

Affan who was still feeling tired was not wary in the slightest. There was no strange feeling with the car following him. It was the driver who took her that began to feel followed because he saw the same car continue to run behind him until now.

"Master!" call the driver who drives Affan's car.

Affan felt curious when he saw the tense face of his driver. From the reflection of the glass is clearly visible if the driver is frightened.

"Yes, Sir? Is something going on?" ask Affan a little sensitive.

"Yes, Sir. I feel like the white car has been following us since. I've been watching him for a long time and the car is always behind us. I don't know exactly where he's been following, which has obviously been a long time.

"Alright, thank you for your vigilance, sir. I'll call Bimo first." Affan immediately picked up his phone and contacted Bimo.

In a state of panic, he could not think clearly. Sintya's case is not over. There were some outsiders involved in it. Affan suspects that the person who follows him is their man.

When calling Bimo, Affan only explained briefly and asked Bimo to reply via message only. Too long a phone call will make Bimo can not take action. The situation that is happening right now is urgent.

"Run the car slowly, sir. On the highway we are safe. If he has evil intentions then he will not dare to act recklessly in the crowd" Affan explained.

"Good, Sir."

"good. Hopefully, Bimo will soon give us some news about how we should deal with this situation." Affan tried to calm his driver who still looked panicked.

A message was sent by Bimo. Affan opened it immediately. The GPS in Affan's car can be tracked by Bimo so he knows where Affan is at the moment.

Bimo asks Affan to go to a location. There Bimo has prepared an army to ambush stalkers. The security forces he works for already have official government permits and often work together to catch a criminal.

"Sir please go to Jalan Dahlia number nine. We go into the courtyard of the multipurpose building painted green." Affan asks his driver to go to the address indicated by Bimo.

"Good, Sir."

This time Affan asked his driver to drive at a moderate speed tend to be fast. The shadow guards who were watching him also kept on tipping off the troops prepared by Bimo. They also sent three men to stand guard if Affan's stalker attacked suddenly in an unexpected location.

Fortunately, the route to the place determined by Bimo always passes through a crowded street so that stalkers do not have the opportunity to block Affan. When Affan's car turned on the signal turn to the left towards the multipurpose building, the stalker car moved quickly to block it.

The driver who was driving Affan's car was surprised by the sudden appearance of a stalker car. If he does not step on the brake quickly then it is certain that the car he is driving hit the roadblock car. Three armed men came out of the car.

"Sir, what should we do?" ask driver Affan.

"Calm down! Do not open doors or windows. We can't face them. Bimo has prepared an army to subdue these criminals" Affan explained.

"Good, Sir."

Affan's chauffeur's face was terrified when he saw three armed criminals walking up to their car brandishing guns. The tension lasted for a while and came to a halt when gunfire rang out from the direction of the building.

The three armed criminals looked back and found several members of an official bodyguard agency surrounding them. One of the criminals is still pointing his gun at Affan's car and the other 2 prepare to face the bodyguard that floats him. They have no fear and try to fight a bodyguard number of approximately 15 people.

Besides winning numbers, the bodyguards were also trained members. They had experience and had managed several ambushes. Nimblely they immediately advanced to limit the opponent's movements.

Gunshots were heard several times. Affan did not dare to look at their fierce fight and chose to take cover behind the backseat. His safety is even more important he does not have any weapons to defend if at any time criminals attack him.

Three criminals were arrested but two bodyguards also suffered gunshot wounds to his legs and shoulders. Some bodyguards take criminals to the authorities while others take injured members to the hospital. Four bodyguards will escort Affan and his driver to the company.

One of the bodyguards knocked on the front glass door. Driver Affan opened it.

"The situation is safe, sir. We will escort your trip to the company" said one bodyguard representing the other.

"Well, thanks for the hard work." Affan smiled at them.

Affan's driver immediately closed the windshield door and blamed the engine. His hands were still trembling after seeing this incident but he tried to calm down. He runs his car carefully.

The distance between that place to the company is still quite far. They will arrive in less than fifteen minutes. Affan was completely inexhaustible with the incident he had just experienced. After this he must remain vigilant and increase the security around him and his family.

"Thank you, Sir. If you're not alert, don't know what our fate is. Thank God, God always protects His helpless servants." Affan thanked his driver.

"Together, Sir. Mr. Affan is a good man, God must always provide protection."

"I just don't see why they suddenly attacked me. Hopefully soon revealed the mastermind behind this attack. I'm guessing they have something to do with Sintya." Affan made his opinion.

Driver Affan looks astonished.

"Hasn't Sintya been caught, sir?" ask driver Affan.

"Really, Sir. But there are so many parties involved in it. Sintya is a drug dealer. I'm sure they don't like it when it's bothersome. With the capture of Sintya then their existence is also threatened," Affan explained.

"Then, why are they hunting Mister?" Driver Affan still doesn't understand.

"That's because I kept some evidence that could reveal their syndicate. A lot of information I got in the investigation. The police will find them by tracing the evidence I have stored" Affan explained.

"We must be careful after this, sir."

"Yes, Sir. I told Mr. Sapto everything so you can be careful too. We don't know the danger that can come at any moment." Affan warned Mr. Sapto.

"Good, Sir. We must be careful and continue to be vigilant until Sintya's case is finished." Mr. Sapto is not afraid anymore because Affan must also think about his safety.

The car they were driving had arrived at the company yard safely. Affan got down and walked away from Mr. Sapto who still had to park his car. The officer who was standing guard and pacing downstairs was a little surprised by the presence of Affan who came in during the day.

Affan always comes early. They wondered but did not dare to comment. After all Affan is the owner of the company they work for so he is free to come and go as he wishes.

"Good day, sir!" greet the officers who cross paths with Affan.

"Good day," Affan replied in passing.

The greeting for greeting alternately welcomes the arrival of Affan. They were a little surprised because they did not know that Affan would come today. However, some of them know that Mrs Affan is sick due to the events that occurred a few days ago.

Bimo was in the meeting room when Affan arrived. Approaching the end of the month a lot of PR must be done by them. Reports from several branch companies piled up on the table. His arrival today prioritizes meeting clients.

While waiting for clients to come to his company, Affan did another job. He checked some of the reports that were on the table. It seemed that Bimo was overwhelmed considering the report that had just come today had not been touched by it in the least.

'How very sorry Bimo. He must have been very dizzy dividing his time and completing this much task. But how else can I also come today.' Affan stared at the files piling up in front of him.

The work will not be finished if you continue to complain, Affan immediately focuses and works on it quickly. Before the client arrives, at least he can still complete three to four files. If not done at the office, he can take it home because the time is getting tight.

The awaited client arrived a little late but Affan did not feel any objection. He could finish more work while waiting. If the meeting was held outside maybe he would feel upset but fortunately the meeting was held in his office.

The information department employee has contacted Affan about the arrival of the client who has made an appointment with him. Affan immediately got up from his seat and went to meet him in the special reception room. The room is downstairs.

A young man of Faya's age and a middle-aged man had been waiting for him. Affan did not know him but he felt that the young man kept looking at him. Actually Affan also felt familiar with the look of his eyes but did not really remember where he had met.

"Good day, Mr. Affan. Sorry we came late. Towards the break hours the streets are very crowded and jammed." The middle-aged man spoke politely.

"It's okay. Please come in!" Affan opened the door for them.

The young client was still stunned and walked the very back. If not nudged by a middle-aged client, he was still dumbstruck in his place. He seemed to be in disbelief if the person he was going to meet today was Affan.

"To save time, how about we start a meeting today, immediately" Affan said.

"I totally agree, sir. Faster would be better." The middle-aged man welcomed Affan's proposal.

"Thank you, let's get started. What can we help you with?" Affan prepared to listen to his client's explanation.

Steve also wants to wake up a special room for management that is separate but still in one location. Mr. Toro gives a broad overview of the land and the design of the room desired by Steve. Regarding the price agreement can be discussed on other occasions because Affan should need to recap all costs incurred for this project.

"Okay, I accept this project. For the next meeting, I will inform you soon. Please include a phone number I can call." Affan thrust his phone by opening the barcode.

Steve felt familiar with the portrait of the woman that looks faint on Affan's phone. Aira's. Jealousy pierced his heart but he could do nothing.

It did not take long, Pak Toro's mobile number has been successfully saved. They immediately bid farewell to leave after the talks were declared over. The little time left will be used by Affan to check the report. He returned to his room while waiting for the next client to arrive.

Arriving in his room, Bimo was already sitting at his desk. He was busy with the file in his hand to the point of not being aware of Affan's arrival. His body jerked when he saw Affan suddenly enter.

"Astaghfirullah, the Boss!" exclaim Bimo.

"Hm. I don't think you're done and nobody's here." Affan answered him casually.

Before returning to his desk, he kept the file he had brought from Mr. Toro. Affan will prioritize important work first serve clients. It takes detailed details for a project and it cannot be completed within one or two days.

"Do we have any more projects, Boss?" ask Bimo while sorting out the files he is working on.

"Yes, but we prioritize the financial statements and employee salaries first. After that, we will then meet the budget recapitulation for the new project that we will work on." Affan sat back in his chair.

"Alhamdulillah, our construction company is growing. Hopefully it can penetrate into other fields," said Bimo.

"No. I don't want greed, Bim. We run one company and several branch companies in the same field only makes us dizzy. I also need to think about time to relax. Except, you can handle everything when I feel tired and want a vacation" Affan teased.

"No-no! Let's just run and develop this one, Boss." Bimo quickly refuses even though he knows Affan is only joking.

Affan laughed at Bimo's slightly tensed facial expression when he heard his joke. A mild joke that makes them relax a little in the face of piling work. In a simple way like this, they can relax a little work on the report that must be completed quickly.

They both looked very busy until the break came. Bimo asked OB to buy them lunch. Both chose to focus on checking the reports and just stop for lunch.

It was not Ali who delivered food and drink to them. He still had a lot to learn the fingers of his seniors. For the next two months, he has not worked to his full potential.

"We'll eat first, Bim. My neck has also been slurred. After this, there are clients who want to come again. Hopefully everything can be a deal and match the price." Affan did the stretching with light movements.

"Ready, Boss."

They enjoy a makeshift lunch at the reception desk of a special guest.

"It looks like we can't be blatant against Sintya" Affan said in the middle of his meal.

"Why is that, Boss?" bimo asked in astonishment.

"Today's attack may be just a warning. What we're dealing with is an international syndicate. They must have a lot of supporters and maybe there's a legal apparatus involved." Affan expressed his concern.

Bimo silently thought of Affan's words. Their lives may be threatened if they reveal the network of drug dealers in which Sintya joined but they will not survive even if they are silent. There was no favorable choice for Bimo and Affan as it had already offended their group.

"Boss doesn't have to worry. About this matter let me handle it. Now let's just work out a little more finished report." Bimo tries to calm Affan down.

Affan nodded despite still thinking about the threat from the Sintya support group.

Bimo's experience and knowledge was beyond doubt. Besides being calculating, he was also a very thorough person. The bodyguard agency he recruited had cooperation with the police and government.

This afternoon, Bimo will hold a meeting with them to discuss the matter. Some evidence has been sent to them though not all. The remaining evidence will only be given directly by Bimo because it requires little explanation.

"Where are you going, Bim?" affan asked as he watched Bimo move from his seat.

"You go back to work, Boss." Bimo had finished his meal and wanted to finish his task immediately.

"Sit down for five or ten minutes. Your stomach will feel great if you go straight to work after a heavy meal," Affan explained.

Bimo smile. Rarely did a Boss forbid his men to work and instead told him to rest. Where else to find a boss like this.

"Alright, Boss. I'm just afraid that the report check can't be completed today when tomorrow we have to calculate the employee's salary." Bimo could not calm down before the work was done.

"I'm sure it's done. We'll work on it together after this." Affan rested his body on the back of the sofa.

Until about fifteen minutes they rest and then finish the job again.

The client that Affan was waiting for cancelled the appointment today and postponed it tomorrow. This is not a problem for Affan because they can work on the report and complete it on time. Cancellation of appointments made by clients brings convenience to him.

"Client's off today. We can finish the report faster. The plan is to bring home the unfinished files I checked." Affan says he's off to see a client.

"Alhamdulillah, my head feels bad. Some days I've been slamming alone. Hendro's job is so much I can't possibly add to it anymore." Bimo shook his head remembering the tough days he had been through.

"You deserve to rely on me. I can't imagine if you took a long vacation. Thanks, yeah, Bim." Affan smiled considering Bimo's services.

"Together, Boss. This has become my duty. I also feel happy working here so that any kind of hard work I can enjoy."

"Sip it then." Affan raised his thumb.

They are back focused on their work. One by one the pile of files began to decrease. Today is the last day the entire division delivers its report so it is not expected that there will be any additional reports that they will have to complete other than the ones that are now.

If Affan does not come today maybe until tomorrow Bimo is not necessarily able to finish it. Although he brought some home for overtime, there were still some files that only Affan could acc.

An hour before the return to work, all files are checked and signed by Affan. Both of them feel relieved and choose to stretch their bodies and rest while waiting for the clock to come home from work.

"Alhamdulillah. Finally this work is done too," said Bimo while wriggling stretching his muscles that feel stiff.

"Please order coffee for me, for you too if you want!" affan's orders.

"Good, Boss. Can I rest after this?" ask Bimo.

"Of course, we do what else. Tomorrow's business we think tomorrow the important work today is already running." Affan got out of his chair and went to the long sofa and laid his body there.

Bimo who also felt tired chose to lean on his chair and straighten his legs. Not to forget he also delivered a tie that seemed to wrap around his neck. He'll catch up with Affan after their order comes.

While waiting, Affan checked his phone and sent some messages to Aira. Affan asked about her situation and what she did after she left. A different message was also sent to Faya.

The attack this afternoon made him have to be vigilant. It could be that his family members will be targets to smooth out the plans of the criminals. Therefore, Affan asks Faya not to travel if it is not really important.

Faya understood even though her father did not explain in detail about the ban. Since childhood, he has experienced several attempted kidnappings. No wonder her father was so protective of her and Aira.

Aside from the Sintya group, some of Affan's business opponents also often look for opportunities to do evil. This is common and does not surprise him. In addition to praying for protection, Affan also made an effort to hire several shadow bodyguards who followed him and his family secretly.

"How are you with your wife and son, Bim? I don't know when I can come to your house. Hopefully Aira can recover soon so I can take her to your house. She'd be mad if I went alone to see your wife and daughter." Affan felt bad every time he remembered about the birth of Bimo's first son.

"They are healthy. The most important thing is the health of Mrs Aira. Instead my wife even worried about the situation of Lady Aira and her baby. It's not that I'm not happy, but Boss should wait until Madam is completely healed just visit my house. At that time my wife must have been healthy and could chat longer. For the time being she still felt pain after giving birth normally."

Bimo's explanation made Affan's countenance change. The fear of loss re-emerged considering that his first wife died after giving birth to Faya.
