Section 55
While in Cempaka's new residence, the woman looks fitter and fresher after a few days of rest without doing anything. He had just come out of a place that would be used as a business land.
An abandoned building unoccupied by its owner has been around for years. Sold at very cheap prices, located on the coast. Cempaka smiled in satisfaction, he took advantage of the money he took from Caesar's ATM before handing the card back.
"Miss, what are you going to do with this abandoned place?" lucy asked as the two of them were in front of the building.
Both of them stared at the building, a business land that would be very profitable for the future. After observing the state of the place, Cempaka explored the potential of nature that is there.
"I will build this building as a convenient stopover for those who want to vacation on this beach. It is very unfortunate, in a place as beautiful as this there is no place to rest even just to fill the stomach," said Cempaka.
There are many tourists who come to visit the beach. Beautiful beach with clear sea water and white sand. Actually, there are many traders lined up along the beach. Simple warungs established by the local community.
"Aren't there many shops around this beach?" lucy asked again, still confused.
"It's not the kind of place I want to wake up to, Lucy. A rental residence for those who want to stay at this beach. The restaurant as well as a place to rest," said Cempaka poured the idea that was in his brain.
"You take it easy, I still have the money from Caesar's card. There is a right in there for my son. It's okay I used it a little, isn't it?" Cempaka smiled widely, followed by Lucy who agreed with his idea.
"Miss Manda?" Someone called to make the two look.
A man who works as a foreman is appointed by Cempaka to oversee the development.
"Hallo, Mr. Benny! Finally you came also to fulfill my request," said Cempaka who changed his identity as Amanda.
"Of course, the offer you give is very tempting. So, when will the construction begin?" said the big tall man to Cempaka.
"Fastly, Mr. Benny. I don't want to procrastinate anymore. Move your own people to do the construction I want." Firmly and confidently Cempaka said the sentence earlier.
They shake hands to start the deal. Cempaka takes Lucy back to their residence. A simple house left by Lucy's husband's parents not far from the place.
"Hallo, baby!" Cempaka grabs a baby from inside the carriage being taken by Lucy's second child.
While her husband and eldest son, went to work as fishermen. Only temporarily, after the resort built by Cempaka stood, they no longer need to go to sea.
"Did she cry the whole time you were babysitting her, Dinda?" ask Cempaka while holding the baby.
"No, Miss. She was nice and kept laughing as long as I kept her, but now it seems like she's feeling hungry." The teenager smiled to see the baby on Cempaka's lap tugging at his mother's shirt.
"You're right. If so, I'll go in first." Cempaka went into the house, and immediately to his room. She breastfed the baby while imagining their lives for the future.
"Mother, will the lady build something in this place?" ask Lucy.
"yeah. You just see what miracle is going to happen here" Lucy said.
He was tired of doing nothing there, lucky there was a child Cempaka who guarded. Otherwise, his life would have been really very boring.
"You're home, take care of your child, miss. If the place is finished, we'll help the lady develop it together." Lucy rubbed her son's head.
The teenager smiled, then turned to the building which was only a few meters away from his house. I can't wait to see that place standing up, what kind of place it really isn't in his mind.
"Are you going to set up a restaurant there, Mom? Miss's cuisine is delicious. Everyone will love it," said Dinda imagine when she used to eat Cempaka cuisine.
"Looks right. Miss said she wanted to build a resting place that can be enjoyed by tourists who want to stay on this beach," replied Lucy.
"Like a hotel?" Dinda looked at her mother.
"Eitherway. Let's see it later." Lucy smiled at her son.
"Mom's going to the kitchen cooking dinner for us. You coming?" Lucy moved from sitting.
The day has begun to enter the afternoon, the husband and his son will return home before the day changes at night. Dinda nodded, following the mother to the kitchen.
Their lives are simple, but they look happy. Not taking Cempaka as a burden in the family, they accepted the woman as a member of the family.

In the old house, Mr. Arya sat contemplating on the balcony of his room. Staring at the twilight sky with beautiful orange clouds. The sun slowly moved towards its collision. It has been two weeks since she lost track of Cempaka, and she has not been found.
Mr. Arya let out a long sigh, each time contacting his secretary had not been fruitful. Almost desperate, but lord Arya has not given up.
"Give all our people to spread out across the country in search of my daughter-in-law and grandchildren." That was the order given by Lord Arya three days ago when he contacted his secretary.
"Where are you guys? How's your lives? Why would Caesar do all this?" He murmured to recall the secretary's report of Cempaka's reason for leaving.
"Master Caesar has divorced the lady, sir. That's why the lady left this town. He has no family, his only family is his father who is currently in prison for the murder of his two twin sons."
Mr. Arya sighed again, inexhaustible with the behavior of his son who was so selfish. For the sake of obtaining offspring, utilizing the helplessness of a woman.
"I don't think I can just stay here. I want to find them myself," murmured Mr. Arya again as he left the balcony and entered his room.
The spacious house has become quiet since the departure of his beloved wife. As quiet as his heart that despite being married to Lisa. He no longer has children because Lisa does not intend to have them with the old man.
He arrived in front of a large portrait, his honeymoon with Caesar's mother on the beach. There was a desire in my heart to go to that place again.
