Still Curious
Ian had now arrived in Jakarta, still driving his car to his father’s office. He was forced to keep wearing the shirt that was stained with blood from the accident victim because he didn’t bring a change of clothes. Arriving at the Central Bank WR office where his father worked, along the way to his father’s room, all the staff and employees looked at him strangely.
Ian, who was usually known as a handsome and neat man, but now it was the opposite. In fact, it was not neat at all because the shirt he was wearing was stained with blood. Ian who felt noticed like that made him uncomfortable and wanted to get to his father’s room which was located on the 5th floor, having to use the elevator to get there quickly. When he arrived at his father’s room, Ian knocked first and entered when he was allowed. It was obvious from his father’s stature that he seemed to be very angry.
“Father?” The father turned around to look at his youngest son.
“Ian, where have you been? I can’t call you, I can’t text you back, you know, I’m not going to introduce you to my business partner’s son!” Mr. Erik also looked at the clothes Ian was wearing.
“What is this again? Why is your shirt full of blood like this? Ian, please explain to me the truth, there is not the slightest element of a lie, remember that.”
“Have you finished talking? Are you angry yet? Let me explain first.” Ian pulled his father’s hand to the sofa in his room and sat there.
“Just now when I got to the Jakarta toll road, I saw an accident, I was almost hit too, Dad. That’s why I took so long to get to the office, and this shirt is full of blood because I tried to save the accident victim from death. I can’t imagine if I didn’t manage to save him, Father. The two cars that crashed into each other, one of them exploded, I couldn’t save that person, but I managed to save the person in the other car. And you know what, after I saved that one person? His car also exploded. I was really scared because the sound of the explosion was so deafening. Luckily I backed my car up a good distance after the accident happened right in front of my car.” Ian explained in detail so that his father would not scold him. His father listened well.
“Aren’t you making this up, Ian?” Asked the father a little doubtful about everything Ian told him. Ian smacked his lips while rubbing his face roughly with his hands.
“Gosh, dad… Why would I lie? You saw this, right? My shirt is completely covered in blood from the accident victim, come closer, it smells bad.” Ian said irritated by his father’s accusation while holding and showing his shirt which was still dirty with blood stains. His father came closer and sniffed it.
“Yes, this too. Go change into your father’s clothes first in this room.” The father’s order was immediately carried out by Ian.
Flashback END
Ian suddenly came back from his reverie of saving accident victims on the highway to Jakarta.
“Is it true that the man is Belvina’s boyfriend? If it’s true, it means he’s still alive today, I’m happy to hear that he’s still alive and already has a girlfriend like Belvina. Do I have to show up and introduce myself as the one who saved her life? Aish, that’s not important to him anymore.” Ian’s monologue with himself. Suddenly Ian remembered something.
“So, he went blind after the accident? No wonder the blood kept seeping out of his eyes until it got on the shirt I was wearing at that time.” Instantly Ian recalled Belvina’s words.
‘I didn’t know him yet, we met on the bridge when he was about to commit suicide. I loved him so much not out of pity, but because he was actually a good person, it’s just that he couldn’t control himself when facing his big problems.
“Oh my, he was so shocked when he found out that he was blind and ended up committing suicide.” Ian covered his mouth with both hands.
Because he had been talking to himself, Ian’s assistant Mark tapped him on the shoulder, causing Ian to wince in surprise.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“What’s wrong with you, Mr. Ian? I’ve noticed you’ve been talking to yourself, it’s getting on my nerves,” Ian straightened up, adjusted his suit slightly and stood facing his assistant.
“I’m fine. There’s just something strange that’s bothering me.” Said Ian, who still had a thoughtful expression on his face.
‘Maybe later if I see Belvina again, I will ask her once more about what her lover is like.’ Ian thought.

At GF Corporation, Gifer and Haris were now interrogating, err, questioning Gifer’s messenger once again about who exactly was behind all the events that Gifer went through, investigating all about the villain who instigated Gifer not to get the eye donor.
“So who is the mastermind behind all this, Donny? Explain everything in detail what you’ve seen!” Gifer ordered.
“I couldn’t get a good look at the face of the girl who planned all this. All I know is that she met with Yohanes and planned something to ruin the relationship between you and your lover. So be careful, Mr. Gifer. That’s all I heard,” Donny replied as he lowered his head, not daring to look at either Gifer or Haris.
“Mr. Gifer, I suspect that the one who did this is someone close to us,” Haris said. Gifer’s mind immediately went to Hyuna.
“Then, is this Raya’s doing?” Gifer asked.
“It could be.”
“But Raya already has a boyfriend, Ris. And yesterday’s incident was not Raya’s fault either. There is someone who wants to destroy Raya and Belvina’s relationship, but who?” Gifer asked.
“Well, you can go, Donny.” Gifer said which was immediately nodded by Donny and immediately left Gifer’s room.
“Maybe there’s Gif, I don’t know who it is, I admit he’s really bad. Until he doesn’t want you to be able to see again. I became suspicious that behind all the disasters that happened to you from the time you had an accident, it was planned from the beginning. The proof is that now he also doesn’t want you to be able to see again. That means, your blindness is what that person wanted, Gif,” Haris said after thinking a thousand times about the disaster that his friend had experienced so far.
“Yes, you’re right, Ris. I still can’t believe there’s someone that evil. Who does he think he is to come into my life and want to destroy everything? I wonder,” Haris said with an annoyed face.
“Gif, if necessary, you should invite the police in this investigation. This is absurd and beyond reason. The criminal can only play backwards. Even we couldn’t find him until now, right? It’s hard if we search for that cowardly criminal on our own. We should involve the police.” Haris suggested. Gifer was still thinking hard about how he would retaliate against this criminal. The atmosphere was so tense in the cold office room because the air conditioning machine was on.
