Tap Your Heart's
Section 32

The sky was dark, the sound of crickets dancing inside the eardrum. Karel was sitting with a sharp gaze staring at the people who worked at him one by one.

Two men were standing right in front of him. Karel's firm aura was so strong that it was able to make their hair bristle.

"You don't agree with my decision to cut half your pay?" Ask Karel.

"Pardon me sir... If half our pay is cut how can we support our son, our wife sir? The salary we get is not worth the work we do. Please have mercy on us, Mr. Karel." Said a middle-aged man by cupping his hands together in front of his chest.

"I've freed Audrey, now she's here. Can't you keep paying me and everyone here without half the pay?" Ask Alden. Besides there is also Audrey, her appearance is irregular, shabby unkempt.

Karel just smiled slanted

"I don't care about your family's condition! Still mending I want to pay you even half, at least I didn't fire you!" Karel firmly.

Karel turned to look at Alden, he walked slowly and approached the man.

"What was our previous agreement?" Karel asked raised Alden's chin with his index finger.

Alden was silent.

"Our agreement back then if you manage to free Audrey then I won't fire you. And you're asking them not to be fired, right? I've done it! That salary is my authority! I have the right to pay any wages. And again, the losses I have received because of your failed work, the losses will not be covered by the salaries of all the workers here! You should be grateful that I am still good with giving half your salary!"

Silent, none of them wanted to see Karel's face. If it's like this, what to say. Karel has power over them, while they are just pets that can be thrown away whenever the pet owner wants.

"Will anyone come back to dispute my decision?!" Karel asked with sharp eyes.

They all shook fast.

"There's just one bad interlude that goes into my ear, I won't hesitate to kick you all away. Not only that, I will also guarantee that your life will be filled with misery!" Karel firmly with a tone full of threat.

"Continue packing and return shipping! This time we'll send it to Iceland. We're going to test a new line on smuggling this time. Make sure all items are delivered and make sure none of them fail!" Karel firmly.

"Good." they answered.

Karel took his suit, followed by four bodyguards, Karel came out of the former shophouse. Karel saw a handsome man who was standing obediently to let Karel into the car.

"Zaidan please drive tonight! Take me to my lover's apartment!" Karel told a man named Zaidan. Zaidan closed the door and opened the door in the passenger seat.

"Okay sir!"

After Karel got into the car, Zaidan circled the car and sat in the steering wheel. Karel deliberately chose Zaidan because the man tended to be quiet. Zaidan is very good at keeping secrets. Not only that, Zaidan is also very agile in knowing the enemy's movements.

If Karel comes to his lover's place to just make out, then he will take Zaidan there. Karel will have fun inside the apartment while Zaidan will stand outside. Observe if there are things that are dangerous for Karel.

Drrrttt drrrttt drrrrttt

The ringing of his phone was heard, but the sound was not from his phone but Clein's.

Shane's name was on the phone screen. Karel just grunted violently.

"Almost every hour he calls this phone, doesn't he get bored?!" Karel muttered when he saw the phone.

The phone on Karel turned it off put it back in his right suit pocket.

"Deliver the car quickly!" Karel's Order.

Zaidan nodded and stepped on the gas pedal.

"The house looks lonely, Clein where is it?" Shane muttered as his phone call was not picked up by Clein.

Shane was already in front of Clein's house. But the gate was closed tightly. From a distance Marcel and Edvin were peering at Shane's movements.

"I have to say what is this Vin? Brother Shane must be nyariin Brother Clein."

"Udah said Clein's sister was taken with her husband away. Clein's sister is married to that."

"Where can I be Vin! Their marriage should be our family's secret. The one who told me was Clein's brother, not me." Marcel.

"If you are samperin only him! Keep telling me that Clein's sister doesn't have to go to her grandmother's house. He was told to nemenin' grandma who was sick again, had told me that! Put the lie on the line, Cel." Edvin's Proposal.

"But he'll believe me?"

"Yes try dong Marcel first, it's already there! If you get caught he's like this, he's afraid he'll find out about your brother." Edvin said that he encouraged Marcel's body to meet Shane immediately.

Despite his doubts, Marcel tried to accept Edvin's proposal. He stepped out of the house with a security guard carrying a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Eh, there are guests? Be present..." Said Mr. Grace. He ran a little, his hands trying to close his coffee glass that would spill.

"It's hot it's hot! Just dickin!" His stomach swayed as he began to move his legs rapidly.

Coffee was placed in the security guard post, then he rushed to get the key.

"Udah sir, let Marcel be open!" Marcel shouted from behind.

"Eh Den Marcel, well this is the key."

"Have you waited here long?" Ask Marcel.

The gate opened and Shane entered.

"Lumayan." Answer Shane.

Marcel nodded.

"Jaudah if so enter first yuk kak to dalem!"

"Thank you Cel before, but I don't think so. Ka Shane here won't be long. Brother just wants to find Clein's sister, she's inside, right?" Ask Shane.

Sure enough! Marcel just swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. A few moments quiet.

"Cels? Your brother's inside, right?" Shane's Repeat.

edvin's idea should be tried.

"Look, sister, euummm Brother Clein went out of town to visit grandma there. She told me to make Grandma nemenin." Answer Marcel.

"Oh, is it Cel? Tumben well your brother did not know brother Shane first? Usually everywhere you like ngabarin. Brother Shane chat is also just in the read doang, continue to fit on the phone also often be killed." Shane.

Marcel was petrified in his place, he was like a dead flea and attacked by confusion.

"If it's not know well brother, there may be a problem with the phone. But Marcel is also the same as Shane's brother, Marcel is difficult to make contact with Clein's brother." Marcel gave a corresponding answer to the contents of his head. He doesn't care what nonsense he gives.

"Are you the same as not being able to call your sister?" Ask Shane.

"Daddy brother." Answer Marcel steady.

"Okay thanks cel. Since Clein's brother isn't around, Shane's brother just went home. Later if your sister can you connect, say aja Shane nyariin, there is something important that Shane must convey." Shane.

"God willing, brother, if Marcel doesn't forget." Reply Marcel scratched his non-itchy nape.

Shane nodded his head, though,

"Don't you stop by my sister's house?"

"No, Brother Shane has a lot of business to do." Shane said riding his bike and wearing a helmet.

"Let's Cel, Shane's brother says goodbye." Shane.

Marcel nodded, as the motor drove at high speed. It feels like Marcel can now breathe air freely after a while he has to hold his breath so that his lies are not smelled by Shane. Marcel rushed over to Rahmat.

"Now sir the key." Marcel gave the gate key to Rahmat who was sipping his coffee.

"Hmmm aahhh iyah. The coffee makes the eyes sticky, segerrr!" Said Mr. Grace while taking the key in Marcel's hands.

"You pack the snacks, the coffee time is not cemented as a snack?"

"The combination of coffee with cigarettes is compatible with den, do not let snacks between them." Said Mr. Rahmat while storing cigarettes next to coffee.

"What cigarette is it sir? Marcel's feeling just saw." Marcel picked up a pack of green cigarettes.

"Den Marcel where tau the same cigarette, this new cigarette is also the cheapest price. This father is the same as cheap cigarettes so not wasteful. You save money so you can save money."

"How much is it?"

"Ten thousand!"

"One day how many packs of tuh sir?"

"Just one pack, Den."

Marcel seemed to think for a moment,

"One pack of ten thousand, ten thousand times seven days that means in a week you spend seventy thousand dollars. Well sir if saved is good money... Why not try to stop smoking? Same with his lungs, sir." Marcel.

"This is Dad again try to stop. But yes, the name of man needs a process. In the past, the father could smoke two to three packs in one day, if now Alhamdulillah slowly reduced. Den Marcel help doain dad well hopefully you can soon escape from the name of a cigarette."

"Aamiin sir... Not only prayer but there must also be effort from his own Grace sir."

"The thing is." Reply Mr. Grace smiled, as he smiled his cheeks also expanded.

"In Dalem there are snacks of cakes that, if Pak Rahmat want, then take it in the kitchen." Marcel.

"Dad den, ready. Thanks for that." Said Mr. Grace giving his thumb.

"Marcel comes in first sir." Marcel.

"Prepare Den."

Marcel rushed back into his house. From a distance Edvin can not wait for the story from Marcel about the purpose of Shane's arrival. Throughout the conversation between Marcel and Grace, Edvin could only curse inwardly as Marcel tried to test his level of patience. Marcel simply raised his hand and told Edvin to be patient.
