Episode 10

Now they both sat by the man-made lake in the park.

Bara wanted to leave to find more fares, but the woman next to him quickly grabbed his hand very tight.

Arimbi was willing to pay Bara handsomely, as long as he was willing to spend time with her.

Bara, receiving such an offer, instantly accepted it with great joy.

When else could he earn ten million without having to ride around under the scorching sun...

"Miss, I think the payment you're offering me is too extravagant; I didn't ask for tens of millions, Miss,"

Bara said, feeling uncomfortable.

"Don't call me Miss, just Arimbi, and I will call you 'motorbike brother',"

"Haha... as you wish, Arimbi, it's true I am indeed a 'motorbike brother',"

"Thank you; it turns out you’re quite pleasant to talk to. Oh, and regarding the payment, don't fret over it. I actually have a lot of money, though I keep it hidden from my dad and my stepmom,"

"Really...! Where did you get so much money that even your father is unaware of it?"

Bara inquired, glancing sideway, prompting Arimbi to turn and meet his gaze, which held a peaceful expression.

"I inherited a lot of money from my late mother, who gave me a savings book and her ATM card and her PIN before she passed away, so I could use it easily,"

"Wow... so your mom was also wealthy?"

"Yes, that's right. But it seems my father betrayed my mother when she was ill, having an affair with his secretary, and after my mother passed away, he married her immediately and moved her and her daughter into our house,"

"Wow, your story is quite tragic; how could your father be so cruel to your mother?"

"Yes, my father is cruel and foolish,"

"So what happened afterward? Did your stepmother and stepsister treat you well?"

"Of course not; they've tried multiple times to eliminate me, but luckily the house staff always watch their moves, which has protected me from their attempts."

"Those ungrateful, vile people! Have you thought of reporting their crimes to the authorities?"

Bara asked, feeling indignant.

"No... I can't do that, 'motorbike brother'. It would bring shame upon my father's name. Now, I'm alone in this world, and I must be prepared to thwart any attack from them,"

"No... you're not alone, Arimbi, I promise to help you if you need anything,"

"Really...? But aren't you afraid of getting involved in my family’s affairs? You know my stepsister is very wicked and cunning; I fear she could endanger your life as well, Bara,"

"Worry not... I can handle your stepsister. I'll even help you to get rid of them and make your father see the truth about those two vipers,"

"Thank you, Bara.. I'm so happy to hear that; I finally found a friend who can help me,"

Arimbi said with a happy smile, unknowingly gripping Bara's hand tightly, causing Bara to smile joyfully as well.

"Yes, I'm glad to help. Now stop being sad, there's no point in crying over wicked people like your stepmother and stepsister."

"Yes, from now on I promise to be stronger and braver, to get back at them for their evil deeds,"

Arimbi replied, gazing into Bara's eyes for a long time.

Bara, receiving such an intense gaze, felt his heart beat fiercely.

It seemed Bara had truly fallen for the beautiful woman, and he vowed to help Arimbi to free her father from the clutches of those wicked women...

Meanwhile, elsewhere, at the office of Abraham, the elderly man was smiling proudly.

At last, his wish was to come true—to see his only son grow better and more mature...

"Anton, who’s the beautiful woman sitting with my son?"

Abraham asked, brimming with curiosity.

Mr. Anton responded with a smile to his master's question.

"The woman’s name is Arimbi Sanjaya, daughter of Adi Sanjaya, sir."

"Ah, it seems my son has started to find his match. Have they been seen together long?"

"No, sir, the young master just met Miss Arimbi today, and by chance, they have quickly become close and formed a friendship."

"Well then, let my son proceed in his own way; you need only monitor his safety."

"Yes, Head Master, we will follow your orders."

Mr. Anton said, bowing respectfully, then left the office to immediately phone his subordinates.

"Hello, how is the surveillance? Is the young master safe at the moment?"

Mr. Anton inquired over the phone.

"All seems calm and in order, Mr. Anton, and we’re currently monitoring the young master who’s out with a beautiful woman."

"Haha... you’re quite the joker. Well then, if anything suspicious comes up, contact me immediately, and make sure you keep the young master very safe."

"Understood, Mr. Anton."

The man on the phone replied, after which Mr. Anton returned to his office to tackle the still vast workload ahead of him.

Abraham wouldn't let his only son be unsafe, even though he allowed his son freedom in public places.

But he remained vigilant, especially after learning from Mr. Anton that the hired thugs Bara had fought the other day, which resulted in their injuries, were now on the move to find Bara's location.

They held a deep grudge against Abraham's son, and this fact troubled Abraham deeply...
