THE PENANCE: THE PEBINOR
TP - 23

Febrian repeatedly repeated CCTV footage of Gumelar Group. The man pressed the pause and looked at the screen. He frowned, "Kavin, call Irfan!"

"Good, sir."

Shortly after, Irfan arrived. "Yes, Sir?"

"Look." Febrian pointed to the screen. "The figure in this elevator shows the 12th floor and in the next minute shows the 18th floor. This video footage has been edited and deliberately fooled us."

"Our suspicions are no longer wrong. Faidan and Yunita were very good at hiding expressions. Evidence can be hidden, too," said Irfan.

Febrian nodded. "I'll find Farhan's name on the assassin's web later."

Irfan looked surprised. "What's? Mr. Febrian...."

"I just need it for this case" Febrian cut.

"Oh, yes, sir. There's one strange thing. Clients one by one began to decide on cooperation with Gumelar Group. But, there is one company that invites Gumelar Group to work together, namely Haden Corporation," Irfan said while showing a map in a faded brown.

"Haden Corporation? I've never heard of a company name like that." Febrian seriously read the contents of the map. "Arnav Haden's? Where is this company?"

Irfan pulled his shoulders. "I heard of its location outside the city, I also just heard that name this time. Isn't this weird? Haden Corporation approached Gumelar Group at a time when other major companies were deciding to cooperate. Then the cooperation relationship between Gumelar Group and Haden Corp was established 3 days after Farhan Gumelar's death."

Febrian. "Outtown? Wasn't Farhan's body and his car found on a cliff near the border forest of the city? We have to investigate."

"Yes too, yeah. More suspicious, Faidan and Yunita are on their honeymoon in Bali. And reportedly Arnav Haden is also there at this time," said Irfan.

Febrian twisted his brain.

After 8 days in Bali, Faidan and Yunita returned to Jakarta. They do their own activities as usual.

Yunita looked at the tuxedo she had designed already. "My employees are working well. Tomorrow we'll have dinner together."

"Yeeee!" Yunita's employees looked delighted.

"You're so handsome with that tuxedo," Yunita praised involuntarily

Zael looked at him. Yunita immediately closed her mouth. "I-I'm sorry."

Zael smiled then turned his gaze to the mirror. "Thank you for calling me handsome."

Yunita looked wrong. "You are handsome."

"I don't feel that way. If I was handsome, my fiance should love me" Zael said with a sad expression.

"Your engagement.. that girl from yesterday, right?" Yunita asked.

Zael nodded.

Yunita seemed to think. "But I see he loves you very much."

"He pretended to love me because we were betrothed. His father's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so his father chose to match me with his teenage daughter. Yes, I do love him. I'm a weak man who falls in love easily" Zael said.

Yunita felt sad to hear that.

Zael looked at Yunita. "I don't understand why he pretended to love me and as if he was happy with me. He should have told me from the beginning that he didn't love me. I feel killed by my love and his pretence."

Hearing that, Yunita lowered her head. He felt that phrase to himself.
