LIE

"Dad, I'm determined to go find Big Brother Dave where he works!" Karina said to her father while putting her things into a bag made of cloth.

"But son, I'm afraid you've never been to the city alone!" Mr. Selorin answered his father.

With a million worries, the middle-aged man allowed his youngest daughter to go to the city to catch up with her sister who had not come home for 3 years and never even called or sent letters.

Karina only has a piece of paper, the place where her sister works! Going by train for the first time to the capital city, made Karina very enthusiastic when passing through the city center with tall building.

Until finally he arrived after a 7 hour drive at a factory by the name of PT. JACKGRAPE the building is lined with high gates with tight security from the Security in front of it.

"Can I help you?" asked one of the Security, when he saw Karina going back and forth like confusion in front of the gate.

"Yes, I'm looking for my brother he works here!" Karina handed her a piece of paper that she had brought with her earlier.

"Yes, this is the factory, what is your brother's name?"

"Dave,"

"Dave?" asked Security again.

"Yes, Dave selorin!" Karina repeated.

The security widened his eyes, he looked confused but then answered again. "There is no employee named Dave here! You have the wrong address,"

"No way, my brother hasn't been home in three years."

Security is resigned. He turned to look at Karina pitifully. Plus the snow was starting to fall over his head. "What's your name?" asked Security again.

"Karina Anastasya selorin!"

"Okay Anastasya, actually I want to tell you something. But if you tell me you know, I will lose my job."

"I see!" Karina answered innocently. But the Security couldn't bear to see the girl looking disappointed.

"Go to the central company! Look for the head of the company named Jack, he might tell you about your brother."

Karina smiled because she hoped someone named Jack could tell her whereabouts.

The security provided a piece of paper with the full address of the central company. Karina happily went there even though it took a lot of time to get lost.

Finally Karina arrived in front of a tall building with the name JACKTOWN, the building was so high that it made Karina's neck hurt to look at her. He went inside and made everyone stare at him, his old-fashioned look made him the center of attention.

"Good afternoon, I'm looking for Mr. Jack the head of this company." Karina conveyed her intentions to the Receptionist.

"Mr. Jack? do you have an appointment?" replied the receptionist. "No, but I have to meet him, I have something important to ask."

"Sorry to meet the leader, we can't just accept guests haphazardly."

"Please tell him I have to ask where my Brother is! He's called Dave and hasn't been home for 3 years."

"Sorry again we can't help."

Karina keeps insisting on meeting Jack! He made a fuss by shouting and had to make the Security guard tell him to get out.

The commotion was conveyed directly by the receptionist to the top floor, where Jack was.

"Who's looking for me?" asked Jack over the phone.

"A woman, she said she was looking for her brother named Dave."

"Dave?" Jack stood up in shock.

"Tell the driver to take the girl to my house!" Jack ordered, which was immediately answered by the receptionist.

"What's your name madam?" The receptionist approached Karina who was struggling behind the body of Security who was blocking her.

"Karina Anastasya!"

"Please come to the car, I will meet Mr. Jack at his house! This driver will take you."

Karina blinked her eyes. Why should it be at his house, isn't Jack in the office. But she didn't think anymore because she immediately wanted to know where her sister was, Karina obeyed and went to Jack's house.

Karina continued to remain silent, the man driving the car she was traveling in was more like a boss in her eyes because he wore a suit and neat tie.

"What's your name sir?" Karina asked hoping things would melt away because she was feeling so bored.

"Han!" The answer is short.

"My name is Karina Anastasya Selorin, just call me Karina!" The girl answered even though no one asked.

Han suddenly stepped on the brakes of his car instantly. Made Karina almost fall forward. "Oh my, why Mr. Han?"

"Selorin?" he asked.

"Yes, I want to find my brother Dave Selorin. He hasn't been home for 3 years, my father misses him."

"Dave?" Han's voice seemed surprised again, the man in his 30s was shocked again.

"Do you know my brother Mr. Han?"

Han immediately shook his head and went back to his car. "Why do you want to meet Mr. Jack?"

"He told me to come see him."

"Go while you can, don't see him." said Han.

Karina was silent, she was a little annoyed at Han for forbidding her. "Sorry Mr. Han, but Mr. Jack asked me to meet him! He will tell me where my brother is."

Han just remained silent without replying to Karina's words.

Han's phone suddenly rang. "Where are you Han, it's been so long!" said Jack over the phone.

"Sorry sir, I'll be there in a minute!" Han answered, and hung up the phone.

Apparently Jack was already home. He went home using his private helicopter which landed directly on the roof of his luxurious house.

Karina's car finally entered the luxurious gate of Jack's house. Two guards seemed to be guarding in front of them with full weapons equipment. The wide garden stole Karina's gaze and couldn't help but blink.

It took about 2 minutes by car from the gate to Jack's residence. Finally they arrived. Before getting out of the car, Han glanced at Karina. "Remember don't say anything that makes Mr. Jack angry, don't say anything about what I said earlier!" Han asked.

Hearing that Karina thought Jack was a sensitive person, she nodded.

Karina climbed a few stairs to the big door of the house. Which opened up as soon as he was there. He followed in Han's footsteps. Once inside Han's house, he immediately took Karina up the stairs that curved high up to the second floor.

Han knocked on the door of a room. "Master, your guest has arrived!" said Han.

"Bring it in, and off you go."

"Come in, remember my message." Han said to Karina in a flat tone.

Karina nodded and entered the room.

"Good afternoon sir, I'm Karina's sister Dave!" Karina said.

Hearing Dave's name made Jack turn the chair he was sitting on, now he faced Karina.

Karina's eyes widened. The man they called the leader was not the old man in his imagination. He is a healthy man who is still fit with an athletic build and a slight sideburn on his cheeks, it made Karina hold Saliva in a bit of fear.

"Karina!" Jack said, his eyes on the girl from head to toe, not attracting him at all.

"Yes sir." Karina lowered her head.

Staring at Karina's face, which looks like Dave, made Jack's eyes quiver with anger. "Are you looking for your brother?" he asked.

Karina nodded. "Then what can you give me for the information you want?"

"I- I don't have anything Sir, my father is sick and misses Big Brother Dave, so I came to look for him."

Hearing the story of poor Karina, made Jack smile with satisfaction. "Em, so what am I going to do to your little brother Dave!" Jack said as he walked closer to Karina who was sweating with fear.

"If you want to know where your brother is, you have to give me something! There will be a fair price for it." whispered Jack in Karina's ear.

"What is it sir?" Karina ask.

"Accompany me tonight!" Jack's words made Karina almost lose her balance.
