Kapitel 15: SUSPICION

Mataya, who was facing Kei's face, immediately turned her face towards the man who suddenly came and said that to Kei.

How surprised she was when she saw the man, "Putra?"

Suddenly the man turned to Mataya and realized him, "You?"

The man was the person Mataya liked when she was still in junior high school and also when Mataya in senior high school in Surabaya. That man is also Mataya's senior.

Mataya then realized that Putra's girlfriend was also Putra's classmate when he was at school, and she was also Mataya's senior. She just smiled at this painful sight. It's been ten years since she liked Putra, but Putra never gave Mataya a chance.

"Well, Kei, since your brother has come, I will go now, okay?" Mataya said to Kei with a warm smile and immediately stood up from her seat.

"Why didn't you take her to me and instead sit here with her? Did you do it on purpose? Since you knew she was my sister, you purposely asked her to sit with you until I found my sister, and you could meet me?" Putra said when Mataya wanted to leave.

Instead of thanking Mataya, Putra instead accused Mataya coldly, and his words were not true and painful.

Mataya stopped for a moment after hearing Putra's words like that. She didn't accept himself being judged like that by Putra, who never even got to know Mataya's personality properly.

"Oh, c'mon! Is that how I look in your eyes?" said Mataya, chuckling hearing Putra's accusations and nonsense words for the umpteenth time.

"Yeah, you're always like that. You're always looking for a way to get my attention, aren't you?" Putra replied to Mataya with his more hurtful words.

"Shut up your freaking mouth, bitch! You are an asshole! Fuck off with you! You must know I'm done with my feeling. I haven't had feelings for you in a long time! So don't say anything nonsense about me anymore, bitch!" cursed Mataya to Putra. She couldn't stand hearing hurtful words from Putra anymore that were utterly untrue about him.

She immediately left in front of Putra and his lover and took the time to say goodbye by smiling at Kei.

A woman has seen sitting with her head lowered. She looked like she was thinking about something in her mind. She doesn't look happy and cheerful today. Since morning, she had been confronting by an unpleasant situation for him.

"Mataya, are you okay?" asked a man in front of him.

Mataya lifted her head and looked at the man who was talking to her.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, Taya. Is everything alright?" continued the man who turned out to be Ahmed, Mataya's best friend.

"Yeah, just had a terrible day," said Mataya unenthusiastically.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want to tell me about your day more?" said Ahmed, then he sat beside Mataya.

"I just met Putra," said Mataya with a gloomy face.

"Then?" replied Ahmed listening to Mataya's story.

"His sister fell and was injured in several parts of her body. I found his sister when walking around while waiting for your arrival. Then I helped the girl and take care her wound, and I said to the girl after I medicate her I will replace her ice cream that fell, and we agreed."

"I intended to take the girl to her family after that, but the girl refused and wanted to chat with me longer. Until her family finds him, and she turns out Putra's young sister," continued Mataya recounting her accidental meeting with Putra in detail to Ahmed.

She looked so frustrated. Then she continued, "Oh, c'mon, I swear to God, Ahmed. I never knew that girl was his younger sister."

"Alright, Mataya, I trust you. Keep calm, okay?" replied Ahmed trying to calm Mataya down.

"But instead, he accuses me and says I did that to get his attention and to meet him. Who does he think he is?!" Mataya continued, not accepting that Putra's words to him besause his words not valid.

"He said that? Really? Oh God, he's too selfish," replied Ahmed furiously at Putra's behavior towards Mataya.

"Yes, he is such a bastard. I'm sorry to myself that I had feelings for him for ten years," said Mataya.

"I already told you—"

Mataya cut off Ahmed's statements fastly. Mataya then turned to Ahmed and changed the subject.

"Well, we don't need to talk about him anymore. Now I want to discuss something that makes me so nervous that I asked you to come with me." Mataya immediately took out a document from her bag and showed it to Ahmed.

Ahmed takes the document that Mataya showed him and started reading the contents of the paper.

"The cooperation contract for the fighter aircraft project. Wow, you got a big project, Mataya," said Ahmed praising Mataya.

"Ahmed! Make it a habit to read things to the end. You are an ambassador of the Moroccan State, don't embarrass Morocco for its ambassador who is very lazy in literacy." Mataya is furious with Ahmed, who is very lazy to read and all things related to literacy. She even wondered how someone lazy to read could become an ambassador for the country of her birth.

"I want to praise you first. Is it wrong?" Ahmed evades Mataya's words and doesn't confirm them.

"Oh, are you sure?" asked Mataya doubtfully and in disbelief at Ahmed's evasion, which was so obvious it was a lie.

"I had intended to reread it after praising you. However, now that you're accusing me, I don't want to continue reading this." Ahmed returned the cooperation contract documents to Mataya.

Mataya was furious with Ahmed's behavior, which was always childish, and liked to make him emotional.

"Ahmed, do you want me to pound you?"

"Okay, Miss hitter. I will read it carefully and with full appreciation," he said, then continued reading the document.

Biserka Apartments, Shanghai.

Biserka sat in the living room and was busy with all the electronic equipment supporting her mission. She did this to seek more information regarding the task she was working on as usual.

Criett….

Biserka's apartment door opened and revealed two men. Benvolio and Pavlo, who had just come from the primary company of the CNY Company and met Mataya.

"Tskckck… Judging from the expression of the most dangerous Mafia Master in all of Italy who is gloomy and wants to pounce on people, I think I know My twin refused the offer," said Biserka mocking Benvolio with great pleasure and satisfaction.

Kapitel 16: SOMETHING WENT WRONG

"Shut up! She hasn't turned down my offer, and she just hasn't accepted it yet." Benvolio dodged Biserka's taunts and looked for another alibi.

Biserka chuckled at Benvolio's answer. "What offer did you offer Mataya that she had to think about it first?" Biserka then took the water that was on the table and began to drink it.

"A fighter aircraft project," said Benvolio, expressionlessly.

Uhukk...uhuk...uhukk... (cough)

"Fighter planes?! Have you gone mad? Is it for your country?" Biserka choked in shock at Benvolio's words.

Benvolio ignored Biserka's question again and went to Biserka's apartment balcony.

"Not for the Italian State, but the personal interests of the Constanzo family." Pavlo replaces Benvolio answering Biserka's question.

Uhukk...uhuk...uhukk... (cough)

"What did you say? For the Constanzo family's interests?!" Biserka choked back a second time in surprise at Pavlo's answer.

She couldn't understand what the two of them were thinking to dare to make such an unnatural deal with Mataya, her sister.

"Hey, do you think Mataya will accept such a suspicious offer? She could be suspicious of both of you. Change the offer, before you two make the situation even more out of control and not expected by all of us." Biserka asks Benvolio and Pavlo to change the offer they both made to Mataya.

"No. I won't change my offer," said Benvolio from the balcony, rejecting Biserka's opinion.

"You stubborn, bastard! Alright, do what you want! But if the plan to take Verasha, my partner, fails. You must be held accountable."

Biserka was annoyed with Benvolio, who was stubborn and acted arbitrarily without considering the slightest advice from him.

She chose to go back to her laptop and equipment, continuing to look for more information about the monster's lair.

"The Constanzo family wants to make fighter planes for personal use? Isn't that against the law? Isn't there a law against the Constanzo family that they dare to make fighter planes for personal gain?" said Ahmed surprised when he finished reading the document Mataya gave him.

Mataya looked at Ahmed with annoyance sight. "And you can still praise me before?!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Taya. I won't praise you anymore," replied Ahmed, making Mataya bend her face even more in annoyance.

"Okay, okay, I mean, I won't compliment you without knowing what you're going through right now," he continued.

"He can destroy the world, Ahmed. Even more than that. He can trigger another world war in the future. His power is hazardous for the world."

"Should I accept his offer and become one of the masterminds behind the destruction of the world in the future? Or should I refuse it and silently watch the destruction of the world he does?" Mataya asked Ahmed.

She was very doubtful and confused in making this decision. She had no direction or clue as to which path she should take. Everything is grey, and no one knows what will happen in the future.

"Yes, this is a difficult choice for you. Rejecting it is like starting a war with the Constanzo family. But you are the one who understands best what is right in law, Mataya."

"You are a prosecutor who upholds justice and is never afraid of any threat of power that harms society and the world. It would be best if you believed in your decision to decide this offer. I will support whatever your decision is. I will accompany you to the end. You will not be alone in facing this all," continued Ahmed, calming Mataya and trying to give him advice while trusting Mataya about whatever decision she made.

"But don't you suspect why it was your airline that they chose and offered this very unreasonable project? I mean, the competitors are more experienced in making fighter planes and are also in Europe, where the Constanzo family is." Ahmed gave his opinion again, which was suspicious of the cooperation project to make these fighter aeroplanes, plus the shares offered were fantastic value.

"Yes, I was suspicious like you. At the beginning of the explanation about this project, Benvolio's assistant said that I would profit from half of the shares. I thought it was just helping the Constanzo family build their airline, but I found out the project was to build fighter planes. And it is for personal gain. Well, since that, I'm starting to suspect them," answered Mataya, confirming Ahmed's words and agreeing with him that there is something odd about this project.

Mataya continued, "He wants to build a fighter plane for personal use and give me half a share of the project, isn't that suspicious? I mean, where did the project funds come from, and what are the warplanes for?"

"Actually, what do they want from you?" Ahmed was confused by this situation.

"Could it be that they want to gain access to the main base by offering this unreasonable project and attracting my attention with all of this? But if that's true ... what do they want in my main base?"

Tring …

The notification on the Benvolio smartphone goes on. He gets a message. Benvolio immediately opened the news on his smartphone and read the contents of the message.

[]

Ben, I'm already at the Pudong-Shanghai airport. Come here and pick me up!!!

-Callista-

Benvolio rolled his eyes lazily, seeing the contents of the message. If only he had known that it would be Callista, his adoptive sister, he would not have opened the message quickly and would have read it later.

Unfortunately, he was in a hurry to open the notification from his smartphone because he was worried that there would be information about the lair of the monster he was hunting.

Because he still cares about his adoptive sister and has to obey Xavier's orders, his adoptive father, who told him to look after Callista while in Shanghai, decided to pick up Callista at the airport and took the time to reply to messages before picking her up.

[]

Yes, I'll be there in a minute. Don't hang around! If you are lost, I have no intention of looking for you!

-Benvolio-

*send*

"Pavlo, I will pick up Callista at the airport. Would you mind calling back Vla or Mataya regarding yesterday's offer and making a meeting with them again? I will take care of the rest after picking up Callista." Benvolio immediately put on his jacket and took his car keys lying on the table in Biserka's living room.

"Yeah, fine, Ben. I'll take care of that as soon as possible, don't worry." Pavlo nodded assent to Benvolio's request.

Benvolio rushed out of Biserka's apartment to pick up Callista at Pudong airport.

Not long after Benvolio came out and left Biserka's apartment, Biserka came out from the office in her apartment.

"Hey Pav, how's the offer going?" Biserka asked Pavlo and immediately sat down next to Pavlo while eating her favourite snack.
