Just let go of his hand Rico's phone rang, "Just a second." Rico took his phone and picked it up even though he knew it was an unnamed number.


"Assalamu'alaikum..., with whom? " ask Rico so formally.


"..... "


"The fire... " As Rico's body went limp, he was so shocked by the news that the test became more and more strenuous.


Rico's gaze was blank for a moment but there were clear details that instantly started to come out so freely. The hand that was originally raised next to his cheek has now decayed as if his strength had been lost, even holding a cell phone it felt so difficult that finally Rico's phone fell on the floor and shocked Susan and Marno.


Seeing her son who was so sad made Susan immediately curious, she moved closer to Rico who was indeed taking distance from them before.


"Son, what's wrong? What's going on?" susan asked so softly her hand had touched Rico's arm and resuscitated him.


"Bun... " His suffering is now so great, his trials are so fragile.


Rico immediately hit Susan, hugged her so tightly, only in the arms of the Mother was all she could go through.


"Son, same story Mother. What's going on." Susan let go of Rico's embrace, looking into his eyes that endured all the suffering he could not bear anymore, until it finally spilled on its own.


"Resto, Bunny.. " Rico's words stopped it felt very powerless to tell Susan that the Resto of pride built with his hard work had now been destroyed in the red whiz.


"What's up with the resto! " Susan was getting more and more urgent in being impatient to know what had really happened.


Instead of saying it, now Rico even more sobbing. His destiny is very poor, not even one test after now must be added again.


"Son! What really happened to your Resto! " Susan kept pushing and making Rico's tears even more intense.


"Bun, Rico has to go. Rico has to look at Rico's Resto." Rico wiped his tears violently.


"Yes, but what's up with your resto! "


"Resto..., Fire resto, Bun! " She said.


Susan was flabbergasted in disbelief as she closed her mouth as Rico shook one hand and turned towards Marno.


"Astaghfirullahalazim home... " Tears also flowed from the corner of Susan's eyes, why the test for her son so tangled.


"Assalamu'alaikum, Dad, Bun! " Rico was running fast, he could not wait to see the state of Restonya which was said to have burned a hundred percent.


"Wa'alaikum... " Marno's hand was still hanging he did not hear clearly what had happened to his son.


"Bun, what's wrong? Why did Rico rush away." asked Marno in a voice so weak.


Susan approached Marno even though her tears had been wiped clean but still came out again and again. "Well," Susan sat beside Marno, who must have been watching her.


"What's up, Bun. What's going on?"


Susan desperately wants to hide the incident that happened to Rico's Resto, but Marno is her father she must know. Even though he is sick, he still needs to know.


"Bun.. " Call Marno so softly, his hand rubbed the shoulder of Susan not far from him.


"Resto belongs to Rico, Dad. Resto Rico fire.." said Susan who again sobbed with tears getting louder.


"Astaghfirullahalazim home... " Marno turned to look at the ceiling, why did Rico's test come at almost the same distance.

The main building made of wood that was still very sturdy and so dashing to stand, now it is no longer shaped, everything becomes black because it has become ash and charcoal, too, all has been destroyed, nothing remains.


Although the fire was extinguished, it was too late because everything was exhausted and burned so quickly.


People were still swarming, so many were still holding buckets to help put out the fire, and there was also one fire engine that could finally tame the fierce red man.


"Astaghfirullahalazim, how can it burn like this huh? Is it because of a leaky electrical short circuit or gas? "


"No idea, just look at the fire has grown.. "


"Kasian mas Rico yes, we ourselves will know how mas Rico fought until it was like this. "


"Yes, yes, hopefully Rico is patient and may Allah replace him better."


There are so many people talking there. All that is there are people who know even know Rico from the beginning of the struggle to build the Nusantara Resto, they are also loyal subscriptions from Rico.


Rico who just came directly parked his bike, he went down while removing his helmet and put it with origin, even his helmet now fell in the paving because Rico so hurriedly put it.


"Astaghfirullah hal'azim..."


After all that Rico had built up from zero, everything had blackened there was nothing left, even the tables and chairs were all also ludes.


Rico walked over, his eyes staring straight ahead where everything had been destroyed. Rico walked towards a completely blackened place there. The fire was extinguished but the heat was still very strong touching Rico's body.


Rico's eyes looked at everything, turning to make sure that nothing was left.


Tears that he momentarily held now re-dropped along with Rico's body that was shed on the floor that was still wet.


Rico's body bent, his palms covered his face trying to hide his pain that he was unable to do.


Rico doesn't care about the spy who keeps looking at him, let everything say anything about him. Rico is very fragile now, his heart is not as strong as it was a few days ago.


Rico sniffled there, like a fragile girl that's Rico's day now. Many times Rico wiped his tears but after that it still flowed back.


"What is this, O God, why do you still test me again" Rico said so fragile.


Many times Rico also rubbed his hair rough, he was very frustrated with the situation lately. Why everything is like it is difficult to plan and walk beautifully in order.


Now what should Rico do, how he will get the rupiah to be able to pay for treatment from Marno, from where he can meet the needs of his family everyday, Rico seemed to lose direction for now.


Though all the shopping money for the new Resto was spent, all the ingredients were full for the next week, and now everything is scorched.


And now there is no more spending money, only a few are in his hands the results of today. How also Rico will pay its employees who soon have to be distributed. Rico is really frustrated now.


"Aghh!! " Shearing Rico hysterically.


Everyone who was there was so very pity, yet they also did not dare to approach all just looking at Rico from a distance.


Only one ghostly figure approached Rico, hugging him despite not being able to warm him up. Calm it even though it can't make Rico's heart calm.


"Patience, Ric. It's all fate." Her speech.


"Why, Sir. Why this has to happen to me. What mistake.. "


"You're innocent, Ric. This is a test for you, a test that will elevate your degrees. Be patient, it will all end well. "


"But why, why now! "


"We're just slaves, Ric. We cannot determine and block when the test comes, we can only face it and accept it."


Rico was silent, which Fahmi said was true, this is a test for him.


"Richooo!! " She shouted one who came, that person was Dante who was now running towards Rico.


"Rico, how did this happen! " Dante was also very surprised, how everything could happen so quickly, even though it had not even been an hour Dante closed the restaurant.


"I don't know, Dan. After being told I came straight away, but everything was destroyed like this, everything was finished, Dan. It's all over. " Rico's grief is again breaking his heart.


"You're patient, Ric, there I am here we'll build again together. I'll always be there for you, Ric." said Dante.


Rico was about to stand up, but yet it happened his eyes saw something not far there.


"Fire korek? "


Just as Rico's hand picked up the match, a policeman came in, one approached Rico and the other put up a yellow line there.
