TRAGEDY AUGUST 13 '98
SECTION 111


On the table have been served several dishes, such as pizza, pastels, and two bottles of alcohol.


The pleasantries happen again. Yohan continued to tell me about her only child, and how hard it was for Yohan to raise a child by herself.


What a shameless father. In fact, Yohan's life was always in prison, and Anna was raised by her late grandfather who had died.


“Ah, apparently you are a Personal Guard who also works for meaning, just like Anna who works as a manager,” Yohan said after Zaid told me a little.


“It looks like you're very stiff because you've always served the big and influential people.”


Zaid just smiled nodding. “Let me pour you a drink, Mr.” Take the bottle of alcohol, then pour it into Yohan's glass


“Sure.”  Yohan downed the drink in one upright. “Will but, Son. I'm not a stranger to seeing your face. Have we met before?”


“Have you ever worked with Babel Group?”


“Sure. The wife of the owner of Babel Group is a good friend of my head secretary.”


“Ah, so? In that case, it's possible that we've met before.”


Yohan took the bottle, poured it back for Zaid.


“No, Dad! He has to drive, so, he can't drink.” Anna forbids.


“Alright, I will drink for you, Father,” Zaid said.


Daddy's? Anna was astonished that Zaid also called her father Father.


“Gosh, that's good, son. I seem to fit you right away. Alright. Let's toast together.”


Yohan was back. He started telling Zaid that he was running a global business, meeting big people, and so on.


He also told me that he went to jail for foreign currency exchange problems.


Anna gets upset and tells her father to stop bragging. “It's enough, Dad!”


“It's commonplace in the business world, Dad. Some VIPs and CEOs that I served have also been in prison with such mistakes,” said Zaid.


“Wah, right, right? Your view of the business world is very different because you have served great CEOs.” Yohan chuckles.


Dinner was quiet. They enjoy dishes, chatting, joking, and exchanging stories.


Until the moment Zaid waited for arrived. Yohan asks why Anna is the bracelet.


“Omong-by, Anna. Do you still keep the thing that Dad put in at the time? Of course you still keep it, don't you?”


“Already, forget that old fashioned bracelet. I've been throwing it away for a long time,” Anna replied annoyedly.


Anna was fed up with everything her father said. His father always acted kindly to him when he wanted something.


“Come on, you didn't really throw it away, did you? You must be kidding.”


Anna just grunts not answering. Return to the remaining food.

The next morning at Zaid's base. The time shows at 9 am, but, looks Zaid who is still asleep, because of the amount of alcohol he drank overnight.


He was late on the sofa and still wearing the clothes he was wearing, when he met Yohan, and dated Anna yesterday.


“Wah, this once-roofed tumben is still asleep.” The Emir who was neat then woke Zaid.


Many times the Emir woke him up, but, Zaid's eyes were still very heavy to open. Until he was almost desperate.


The emir took cold water from the refrigerator, then dripped it on Zaid's face.


“Backed!” Zaid awoke because the ice water hit his face. “Sial! What the fuck are you?”


The Emir took a long breath. “There were a thousand times I woke you up, but, you still didn't open your eyes. How much alcohol did you drink until you screwed up like this?”
