NEW BOSS

In the morning, Haruna was getting ready to go to work. Kiara woke up because she smelled the perfume Haruna sprayed on her body.

"Mama, where are you going? Kia wants to come with you, Ma," said Kiara, rubbing her eyes.

"Mama, I want to go to work, so Kia is at home with Aunt and Grandma," said Haruna.

"Kia wants to come, Ma," Kia whined.

"Kia is a smart kid, so you have to obey Mama, or Mama is angry. Do you want Mama to be angry?" Haruna was forced to scare Kiara because she couldn't bring Kiara.

"No, Ma. Kia complied, Kia will stay at home with grandma," Kiara replied, looking down languidly. Haruna kissed Kiara's forehead before leaving.

Haruna left with her father as usual. Haruna took her father to the shop, only after that he went to the 'Blessing Bank' where he worked.

Arriving in front of the shop, Haruna and Kamal were surprised by how crowded the shop was. Some goons are raiding Kamal's shop. None of Kamal's employees dared to enter, they stood in fear at the sight of the big and frightening men.

Haruna and Kamal also panicked, and Haruna called the police. An hour later, the police came and arrested the thugs. When interrogated, the thugs replied that they were only carrying out orders to collect a debt from Kamal.

"Papa, have a debt? When?" Haruna asked Kamal.

"Papa owes Papa's best friend, but Papa doesn't know why he has the heart to do this to Papa," replied Kamal.

"Hey, old man, your debt to Pak Cipto has been paid by our boss, so we are collecting on behalf of someone else," replied one of the thugs.

"But… I didn't ask someone to pay my debts," Kamal replied.

Suddenly a lawyer came to guarantee the five thugs. To find out the truth of the words of the five thugs, the police asked the lawyer to explain the problem.

"Please, Mr. Jefri, try to explain," said the policeman.

"Mr. Kamal has a debt to his friend, Cipto, and Mr. Cipto has a debt of 2 billion to my master, Tristan Izham Putra. Mr. Cipto handed over the debt payment on behalf of Kamal Dermawan, so I hope Mr. Kamal can pay it off soon." The lawyer explained the debt problem between Kamal and Cipto.

"I owe 20 million, how come now I have to pay 2 Billion? Mr lawyer, you are joking right?" asked Kamal to be sure.

"I don't know your debt business with Mr. Cipto. What is clear here is that your name is written as a guarantor. Mr. Tristan gives you three days to pay it off. After three days, if you still have not paid the debt, then Mr. Tristan will collect it. 

The lawyer and the five thugs left the police station. The remaining Kamal and Haruna are still sitting at the guard post, at the police station. Haruna couldn't bear to see her adoptive father sad. How can they pay off the debt? If his father sold their tavern and modest house, it would not be enough to pay off the 2 Billion debt.

"Pa, now Haruna will take Papa home first. Later, Haruna will try to borrow from Haruna's workplace. Hopefully, I can," said Haruna.

Haruna took her father home, then he went to work. Haruna was more than two hours late, but Haruna had to leave anyway. He had to talk to the boss. Even though Haruna found it impossible to be granted if Haruna wanted to borrow that much money.

But Haruna still wants to try. Whatever the result will be. At the teller desk where Haruna was, someone stood in Haruna's place. Haruna immediately approached Sari.

"Sar, who is he?" Haruna asked while pointing at the woman at her desk.

"He's a new employee, the customer service department. Since you haven't come yet, he's temporarily replacing you. Already working there, our new boss introduced himself. He's really young and very handsome, ah, I'm in love with him," said Sari with his eyes closed imagining Tristan's face. But when Sari opened her eyes, it turned out that Haruna was no longer beside her. Haruna is already serving customers at her desk.

In the office of the President Director, Bank Berkah.

Tristan sat smugly, staring at the laptop screen. Tristan told his men to install surveillance cameras on the upper wall, pointing to where Haruna was. He continued to pay attention to Haruna who was serving customers with a smile. Tristan smirked when he saw Haruna smile.

"We'll see how long you can smile like that," Tristan said with the corners of his lips raised.

Levi, standing in front of Tristan and staring at the scary smile on Tristan's face. Levi felt sorry for Haruna. Just because of a remark that offended Tristan, he and his family were plunged into a terrible pit of hell. Haruna still smiled, even though her mind was confused about the fate of their family.
