There was the sound of Zie's moans that had begun to awaken from his stupor. Juan and Adrian immediately stop their conversation and get closer to Zie. Adrian sits beside Zie's bed while waking her up by patting Zie's cheek gently. Juan stood a little far away while watching.
"Zie.wakeup..!" Adrian called out to Zie with a subtle tone of voice.
Zie opened his eyes slowly and blinked his eyes to wake him up. When he woke up completely Zie grimaced while holding his head that was hit by a hit Glock 17. The pain due to the impact is still felt and throbbing. Zie felt a lump on his head at the location of the impact.
"It must be sick? It's taking painkillers, the doctor already prescribed it when you passed out!" Adrian helps Zie sit down slowly and Adrian gives a glass of water and an analgesic drug to drink Zie. The drinking water and medicine that had been placed on the bedside table was indeed prepared for Zie to drink as soon as she woke up.
Because the headache was unbearable, Zie immediately took the glasses and drugs Adrian offered and immediately drank it.
Adrian petrified to sit leaning by using several pillows to make it more comfortable. "Better?" adrian was still worried.
"It's still a little dizzy, but a little better." Zie replied with a smile showing his gratitude to Adrian. Zie rested his head on the pillow that supported him. "Thank you for coming to save us! How's Juan doing?"
"Ehem..." Juan makes a sound to tell Zie that he is also in the room. "Thank you for worrying about me, I'm fine." From his eyes Juan watched Zie was shocked when he found out Juan was in the room as well.
"Not to worry, everything was handled well. Juan's wounds have been treated, and the BEE syndicate chasing you has been successfully secured. Once your condition improves we'll be back in Jakarta soon." Adrian explained the situation briefly to Zie.
"Is the business here finished?" Zie asked confusedly. It's not that they're here because there's important business, but why are they in such a hurry to get back to Jakarta?
"Some have taken the lead, so my role can be replaced." Juan answered. Actually Juan is still very necessary to expedite the process of negotiating the land acquisition of the mine with local residents, but after the tragedy of the last assassination attempt all the Mahaputra commissioners agreed that Juan immediately returned to Jakarta for his safety. While Juan's role in the negotiation process will be replaced by a business director who is not less capable with Juan. They don't want to risk anything bad going back with their CEO. The state of Satria Mahaputra who is still in a coma is quite heavy to shake the continuity of their group.
Another reason Juan wants to return to Jakarta immediately is for the safety of Zie. At least the security there is much better and the Zie syndicate will not be too bold to take down the person at once like the incident on the ship.
"I didn't expect them to catch up to the island just to hunt Kak Juan. Strange, they look too rushed unlike their previous ways which left no trace." Zie expressed his confusion.
Juan and Adrian looked at each other. They couldn't possibly explain that the BEE syndicate was in a hurry for chasing after Zie. They were worried that Zie would soon reveal their identity so hurriedly do something that was completely out of their habit.
"We can never guess what they think. It could be that they are in a hurry because it is related to the faster the process of mining nickel Mahaputra group will begin immediately." Adrian tries to find a reason for Zie to believe.
Seeing the sad Adrian, Zie felt it too. 8 Years ago changed all of them. Changes that leave wounds for their entire lives.
"What do you remember?" adrian asked looks trying to look tough.
"I'm sure I saw Bimo Anggoro in that barn. He is part of the BEE syndicate. The data we found about its existence earlier is correct. We can investigate it more deeply to reveal the entire network of BEE syndicates. Bimo has a pretty high standing in this syndicate, because I remember they called him boss."
"That means that the direction of our investigation is correct. But I'm still constrained to not be able to penetrate the security of the email he went to. I assume it belonged to one of their higher-ups. Their digital security is tight, I still need time to try to break through." Adrian is getting excited and wants to crack the code immediately to penetrate their cyber defenses, but their condition on a small island with limited internet facilities does not allow him to work on it now. Inevitably they must return to Jakarta as soon as possible.
"There's one more person appearing in my memory. A man with a higher position than Bimo Anggara. I remember Bimo Anggara bowing his head before him and following all the things he commanded. Unfortunately, I did not remember his face clearly. I only felt that I knew him quite closely because Sister Natha was talking to him in a tone of voice that showed surprise. I heard Sister Natha say why she could do that when she was considered like family. Unfortunately I can't remember who Sister Natha meant." Zie is seen trying to remember what money is forgotten, but his efforts are only in vain.
Hearing the words of Zie who said that one of the bosses of the BEE syndicate who carried out the kidnapping 8 years ago had a pretty close relationship like a family with Zie and Natha, Adrian and Juan looked at each other. As they suspected, there were members of the syndicate who had quite close ties with the Main family. That's why they're now eyeing Zie, the only eyewitness to what happened 8 years ago. Adrian and Juan currently both have the same thought that they must immediately return to Jakarta.
"Is there anything else you can remember?" Adrian asked softly.
Zie fell silent and lowered his head for a moment. Zie swallowed his saliva then took a heavy breath slowly. "I remember what happened when Natha and I were on a big ship filled with men dressed in black suits." Zie stopped for a moment.
"I remember when we were tormented on the ship." Zie's tears flowed without him noticing, Adrian immediately held Zie into his arms. " Then they threw me and Natha's sister in the middle of the sea." Zie's getting sobbing. Adrian felt the pain of tang Zie feel imagined what in the experience of Zie and Natha who was pregnant with her child. Adrian's tears without him noticing had soaked his eyes.
"Then I woke up on the beach when the police found me, and Natha's sister was lifeless." Zie felt back the pain he used to feel. Juan who was standing not far from them was only able to bow his head and be sad. Juan knows, what he felt was only a fraction of the wounds experienced by Zie and Adrian. Juan didn't know how to cheer them up.
After crying each other, Adrian and Zie finally both calmed down. Both eyes now look very puffy. Juan who had just been silent looking at them, finally ventured to start making a sound.
"Emmm..." Juan made a sound. Adrian and Zie looked at him. "It looks like we have to get back to Jakarta early in order to quickly continue the investigation that began to find a bright spot." Juan expressed his opinion.
Adrian and Zie nodded their heads in a sign that they had agreed. Juan continued "I've contacted Luna, later in the afternoon we can return to Jakarta by chartered plane." While Adrian and Zie were crying, Juan contacted Luna to prepare the plane for their return.
"Alright, you rest first Zie so that your condition gets better. I'll ask that you send food here immediately. You must recover your body immediately before we return to Jakarta later in the afternoon. Meanwhile Juan and I have to take care of a few things regarding the arrest of a member of the BEE syndicate." Adrian walks out with Juan leaving Zie still looking sad. Zie is only able to agree to Adrian's decision because Zie wants to recover and arrest all members of the BEE syndicate who have ruined his life.
