William's Revenge

Pick Up at The Airport

Soekarno-Hatta Airport is never quiet. People pass by and are busy looking for what they don't need to look for. From Liam's perspective, the majority of those here intended to travel. His mouth unintentionally hissed softly, life is indeed unfair. Those who have family stay away, those who don't have family look for those who have left.

But isn't life unfair? There are many people who have lost no one. Meanwhile, those who are surrounded by loved ones want to leave because they feel the need to have time alone.

"Remember, when Miss Andini arrives, tighten security!" said Sardi, the head of the Adimas family bodyguards. Sardi's words snapped Liam out of his reverie.

"Yes." replied all his subordinates in unison.

Together with six other people, Liam waited for the arrival of Andini and her entourage at the front of the airport. Liam's eyes continued to observe those who came in and out of the airport. Not infrequently, he saw people's smiles expand when they realized that someone was waiting, someone was expecting their arrival, and hoping that they were doing well.

"Liam," Tama whispered. "You saw that Marcedez! We've been working all our lives, and we'll never own one!"

"That's right," Dave added. "especially when our martial arts skills are only rewarded with a security position. We're lucky to be accepted by A&B Guard."

"Someday, I will definitely have a car like that," Hendri added. The look in his eyes hinted at a very big hope.

The three friends' questions were not answered in words. It was true that even working in the police force until retirement, he would not be able to own the car. Unless he played dirty like his seniors who used their positions to gain wealth.

To pick up Andini, they brought four cars. The first car was driven by Mr. Ramlan, a silver Marcedez Benz S-Class. The car that had just been talked about. It was only natural that Adimas would own that car. As the owner of a meth factory and tens of hectares of marijuana fields, buying the car was like buying a canned drink at the nearest minimarket.

"There she is!" Sardi pointed at the all-black group walking at twelve o'clock.

Andini, Lukman and their five bodyguards were seen walking towards them. Their all-black outfits spontaneously attracted the attention of anyone who saw them. In the center of the group, Andini's appearance was not as striking as the six men beside her. Her appearance was simple. Her makeup was also simple. Her shiny black hair was simply loose.

Andini's simple appearance surprised Liam a little. The figure of Andini that he imagined was inversely proportional to reality. Last night, Liam imagined that Andini was haughty, elegantly dressed, and attention-seeking. These things were based on the fact that his relationship with Adimas was not going well. Don't children with family problems always seek attention outside? Why not Andini?

***

The Mercedes Benz S-Class sped up and soon disappeared from the airport. Andini was acting up. Adimas's favorite driver, Mr. Ramlan, didn't read the situation carefully. He fell for Andini's trick and the car he was driving was taken away by her.

"Ramlan!" snapped Lukman, unaware that he was several years younger. "How could an experienced grown man like you fall for that kid's tricks?!!!"

Deep in his heart, Lukman also did not expect that Andini would rebel upon his arrival in Jakarta. Everything that happened was completely out of his mind. Understandably, after Melisa's death, his closeness with Andini was only limited to being a legal representative of Eka's aunt. Andini's suicide attempt in Singapore, she thought, would not happen in Jakarta.

 "I'm sorry, sir." Mr. Ramlan looked down. "I didn't expect Miss Andini to be this desperate."

"You're such an idiot!" Lukman was completely out of control.

 Pak Ramlan's mind refused. He wasn't stupid. He was just happy to be reunited with the grown-up Andini. During her time in Indonesia, before Melisa died, Mr. Ramlan had dropped Andini off and picked her up at school until the end of high school.

"What a wild child!" Lukman complained to the group of guards. "Hurry up and find that boy! If you don't succeed, I'll fire all of you!" His arm combed through the group of men dressed all in black.

His eyes widened when she saw only two cars parked in front of him. According to reports, there were supposed to be three cars accompanying the main car that would take Andini.

"Where's the black wrangler you guys used to bring? Why are there only two cars?" Lukman's emotions grew after realizing the negligence of his men.

"Liam," Pak Ramlan stammered, "he went after Andini as soon as I realized that something out of control had happened."

"Liam? Who is he?"

"The new bodyguard recommended by Mr. Hasan."

A few seconds later, the group split up using the two remaining cars. Lukman called someone and asked for an extra car to take him to meet Adimas.

Meanwhile, on the road, Liam tried to catch up with Andini. The black luxury car kept increasing its speed so that it could not be followed. Liam realized that there was a slight difference between Andini and the rich kids out there. From her driving skills, she must be a pretty independent kid.

To avoid being followed by Liam, Andini played with the car's motion by overtaking the car in front using a zigzag motion. The Marcedez S-Class overtook the Avanza in front to the right, then slammed its steering wheel to the left and overtook the Mobilio that was blocking its path.

"Shit!" Andini cursed to herself when she saw the black wrangler still following behind. She couldn't help but wonder, who was the driver in the car that made her trick after trick fail miserably?

In the car, Liam had had enough of chasing Adimas’ daughter. Not wanting to make the drama even more pointless, he had to stop it. His left hand played with the gears, his right foot stepped on the gas panel, and the left foot was ready to step on the clutch if something happened out of his control.

"What a hassle." Liam looked at the vehicles behind him from the outside mirror.

Liam's car picked up speed and instantly their cars were next to each other. Through the darkened windshield, they looked at each other. Andini was worried that her escape would fail, while Liam was eager to stop the car next to her while waiting for the empty road ahead.

"Enough of this."

A moment later, fifty meters ahead, there was no vehicle in sight. So, with very limited time, Liam raised the speed, slammed the steering wheel to the left, held the gear lever and hit the brakes to the maximum.

Citttttt!!!

The sound of screeching tires drowned out the noise of the surrounding vehicles. Suddenly, everything was silent. Andini closed her eyes and scrunched up her face. Liam's car in front prevented her from moving forward, while time was limited and the close distance forced Andini to step on the brake panel as deeply as possible.

The throbbing in Andini's chest was so tight it seemed to press her body backwards. This was unthinkable. None of the bodyguards were as bold and reckless as the driver in front.

She opened her eyes. She looked up at the glass that was too dark to see who was inside. Her breath came in short gasps. The thought of her almost taking another person's life was terrifying. She quickly got out and approached the car in front. Her curiosity would only grow if she didn't execute it immediately.

  The windshield slowly lowered. Andini couldn't wait to see who was inside. She was prepared to cuss him out no matter who it was, even if it was Lukman, a man she hated and respected.

Their eyes met. Andini gasped, and Liam could only stare into those beautiful eyes. Both of their chests throbbed unusually. Andini felt that something was disturbing the empty space in her heart when she saw Liam's piercing gaze that signaled that he didn't care who was in front of him.
