"Ilham, bad news. Come on N-one!" That's what Leon said on the phone.


"Bad news ape?" ask Ilham.


"I couldn't explain to Talipon. You just come. It's an emergency, Inspiration!"


Then in a hurry Ilham immediately opened the door and found Ammar at the door.


"Dad, let me eat," the boy asked again.


Ilham. "


"I'm sorry, Boy! Daddy wants to go to N-one mase ni juge. Daddy ade who must be taken care of at this time juge. Ammar eats with Mommy and Grandma alone, Okay?" the word Ilham seeks to give understanding to Ammar.


"But, Mommy said Daddy hasn't eaten since last night. Come on, Dad!Just eat a little and Daddy's gone, okay? What kind of pain does Daddy have? Poor Atok to see Daddy sulking like this," persuaded the boy.


And Ilham is ashamed of Ammar now. That little boy alone knew how to control his feelings, what about his mature self? Ilham knew that Ammar also felt very lost about the departure of the great atok. But behold, now even the boy persuaded him to eat.


"Hey, Little Boy! Who's sulking?" ilham said while crouching in front of Ammar.


"Daddy, Daddy's sulking, right?" answer the boy.


Ilham sighed.


"Little Buddy, Daddy's not sulking, Son. Daddy just needs time to get used to it without having an Atok with kite. You need to worry about Daddy. Daddy's fine, Okay?" Ilham.


Ammar looked at Ilham wanting to find out the truth on that face.


"So Daddy didn't sulk?"


Ilham.


"No," he answered reassuring his son.


Ammar nodded.


"If you like that, eat only a little so Daddy is strong to work on N-one again" said Ammar later.


Inspiration finally gave up.


"Alright, but Daddy ate only a little. Daddy has to go on N-one immediately. Daddy can not linger," said Ilham again.


"Well that's it, Dad. Let's eat now" said Ammar, pulling his father's hand into the dining room.


There was waiting for another family member. Zubaedah, Ishmael (His Father Inspiration), Yola and Ratih. Abhimanyu himself has returned to Jakarta due to work affairs that he cannot leave aside. While Ratih chose to accompany Yola for a while until the mourning period in the Nirwan Family began to decrease. Ratih felt the need to accompany Yola because he was sure at times like this, Ilham even his father-in-law Yola, Zubaidah, might not be too able to take care and pay attention to Yola.


"Abang, eat yuk!" take Yola with a smile. Inspiration has been a bit gaunt for the past few days. Yola felt the need to pay more attention to Inspiration.


"Hmm" said Ilham. "But I ate a little, hmm? Ade's brother who needs to be taken care of at N-one."


Saying that, Ilham and his father, Ismail also had a chance to meet each other. Recollecting their quarrel over Ismail's choice of not being involved with the N-one affair. It made Ilham even more cynical to the father. Now he is the only one who can be expected to take care of the big retail company. The fate of hundreds of N-one branches, as well as thousands of employees are now in his hands. How easy this is all. Even if he wants to be helped by Yola, Inspiration may not be until the heart makes the wife who is pregnant with their child is burdened both inwardly and in thought about it.


"What business is it? It's only the 5th day atok died, right? It can't be fulfilled 7 days ago brother entered the office again?" ask Yola while taking a plate for Ilham.


"Yes, but what business?" ask Yola curiously. "Can't Leon get in there?"


"Either, neither does my brother know. Leon couldn't explain it on the phone" Ilham said. "Yes, Yola quickly made food for my brother."


Yola swiftly put the rice and side dishes in the dish and gave it to Ilham.


Inspiration accepted it and began to enjoy the meal in a somewhat hasty manner. It did not go unnoticed by Ratih.


Just now Ilham ate as much as three mouthfuls of food, suddenly the phone from Leon rang back.


"Yes?"


"Where are you?" ask Leon impatiently.


"Smoke up! I'm still at home" said Ilham.


"After a little inspiration, you were awaited earlier by all the company officials," said Leon across the street.


"OK, okay. I quickly got there," said Ilham, putting down the spoon he was holding and stopping eating. Immediately his hand grabbed the glass of drinking water offered by Yola.


"Abang went first" said Ilham saying goodbye while thrusting his hand to be crucified by Yola.


Yola unhesitatingly accepted and kissed the hand.


"Be careful on the road, brother," said Yola.


After leaving Inspiration, Ratih also invited Yola to speak. Making his two daughter-in-law frown in confusion.


"Yola, come with Mama for a second," invite Ratih.


"Raptain, Ma?"


"Udah come first. Brother Zubaydah, Bang Ismail. Me and Yola went to the room for a bit. Come on!" train again while pulling Yola who is still confused.

The Company (Company) N-one Grocery,


Ilham's car entered the parking lot of the company's N-one office building as well as the N-one Grocery's central supermarket. Still outside the area alone Ilham had seen many crowds of journalists. They are certainly the media who want to find a mouthful of rice from the results of raising the news of the main heir of N-one Tengku Ilham Nirwan after the death of Atok Tengku Yahya Nirwan. All his movements would definitely be in the spotlight at this time.


Ilham immediately got out of his car and was soon aware of the presence of Ilham journalists and media crews immediately greeted Ilham with camera shots of various types. Not to forget the recorder tool they began to question Ilham starting with cliche questions commonly asked by journalists, such as what was felt by Ilham after the departure of Atoknya. What a question that should not be asked for someone who has just mourned.


But that is not what surprised me. Everything is getting more and more he can't understand when Leon welcomes his arrival and takes him to the meeting room. There have been waiting for all the shareholders. And in the seat that should be occupied by the Atok as the owner and president of the director. Sitting down someone he didn't expect to be there. It's Lucas!


Ilham looked at Leon not understanding. More clueless when he saw someone familiar next to Lucas. He's Yuri!
