Antonym Intellect, Synonym of Dearest

Kencana 2

“Sasongko influenced me to ask for a golden gift, replaced with my silent mouth forever. We did it without Rangga and Rejo's knowledge. On the other hand, I am pregnant. It made me even more convinced that there must be something commensurate with the heartache I was experiencing. So... I have all their treasures given to me.”

I knew exactly where it was headed after this.

“Well, Rejo and Rangga agreed. Because Rangga said his love for me was sincere. After receiving Rangga and Rejo's treasure, my family and I decided to leave the village and settle abroad. Far from everything. The money I had was a lot, allowing me to move countries. We are heading to Italy.”

“From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, Italy was experiencing such a powerful economic boom Heavy industry north of – Fiat in Turin, Vespa in Genoa, Pirelli and Alfa Romeo in Milan – combined with smaller craft-based and design-based businesses in the north-central puts Italy on the international stage and changes the lives of its citizens. The most striking effect of the explosion was the mass migration it encouraged, as Italians moved in large numbers from rural to urban Italy and from south to north in search of work. More than 24 million Italians changed their address, allowing us to get there more easily and settle into a citizen.”

“But..” Bu Kencana shook his head, “his name is also an illegitimate treasure, a dispute, full of sin..” he let out a long sigh. “Finally out. And we ended up in a mafia syndicate. Our treasure was seized by the mafia. We were bankrupt in a moment. My father killed himself. Me and my kids were homeless.”

“From here I continue the story, yes Auntie?” ask Baron.

“Ya Le, Monggo..”

“As I've told you before, in prison I met a Sicilian mafia kingpin?”

“Ya Ampuuun,” seruku and Ariel.

Baron nodded, “Yes, the treasure came back to us. It belongs to Mbah Rangga and Mbah Rejo. Destiny speaks. It all comes back to us. And because the treasure is sacred, to avoid continuing conflict, we agreed the four of us, of course, beyond my father's knowledge. For... here Mr. Abel, his contract.”

Mr. Abel and Mr. Johan handed over a piece of old-looking parchment, and unfurled it in front of all of us.

It contained some kind of information written by hand. Below it are four signatures. Mbah Rangga, Mbah Rejo, Bu Kencana, and Raden Arya. Under that signature is some kind of brownish fingerprint.

“This blood cap,” says Baron. “Saran Mbah Rangga. If I don't trust Kejawen.” He chuckles.

This is what a bloody covenant is.

“Ariel, Claudia, Mbah Rangga and Mbah Rejo promised with this blood, if one of them died, the other should not die before.

“It can be so?!”

“Entah what happened can in fact.” Fizz Baron. “After you get married, Mbah Rangga dies.” But Baron chuckled. There was a prickly glint in his eyes.

“Baron?”

“I lied, sorry...your face is very tense anyway... hahahahah!”

“What is it like at a time like this you are kidding?!”

“Yaaah,” Baron glanced at Mr. Abel and Mr. Johan.  Who could only shake his head knowing what was happening. “Mbah Rangga drinking poison. Proven. Arsenic, in its tea, is low-dose but dangerous. It's possible my father mixed it up. Mbah Rangga was poisoned in the morning before you were married. But somehow he managed to hold himself back from staying sober until ijab.”.

“Means his face looks strange..” hissiku, My stomach feels stirred.

“Could be so at that time he endured extreme pain... And it looks like he already knows who poisoned him.”

“He told me to get married while dying?! That smile and happy feeling he did in pain?!” myrag.

“And no one knows except my father, Sasongko.”

“How do you guys know all this?!”

“I reported it,” Bu Kencana said this. “That night I visited to visit. I went with Abel and Johan, claiming to be fellow Lawyers so as not to get caught. We agreed to tell Sasongko the truth. If he will not get a dime even though Mbah Rangga is dead, because we have made a pact behind him. And he gets angry when he finds out that... Raden Arya, Baron, was also one of the initiators of this proposal,”

“Dan.... In three years I will be the one to manage the sacred treasure? Right?” hiss Ariel. He just turned his head back to the sofa.

“Ya right. I'm old, I'm retired, I'm tired, and the Baron can't be seen in public. We need the young generation of steel to handle the sacred treasures, sorry to trouble you both.”.

I opened the plaster containing the cold gel, which was often used by children when they had a fever, then attached it to Ariel's forehead.

I'm the only one who's healthy so a headache, let alone her who's sick...

Baron chuckled at our reaction.

We know we tend to be expressive and easy to stir if there are things beyond reason.

“Sorry yes Leee, Nduuuk, if mom is surprised. Yes but it does happen.”

“My goal is to call you so that you are more prepared to manage the company. You must know where the funds come from, so you do not underestimate. The assets of Topaz RR Kencana company are built not only with property and tears, but also with life. That's why I don't really agree when Claudia wants to get divorced from Ariel. Pity Ariel for managing alone.” Katya Baron's.

“Can be managed each with the above deed agreement, but it is indeed more closely the marriage bond..” said Bu Kencana.

I also put a fever compress on my own forehead while moving to the bar to make warm tea, for me who is still in shock.

“Can we ask to be sent home?” manya.

We finally arrived at my room.

I lay down next to Ariel.

We both stared at the ceiling.

“Hey Ariel..” hisisku.

“hm?”

“Appoint me..”.

“What's dear?”

“You lulu school is on time, serious college..”.

“Why is that?”

“You must be smart and know a lot of knowledge, because the company you will lead has a very big responsibility. Mbah Rangga and Mbah Rejo gave up everything, including his life.”

“Hm..

“What?”

“To always be by my side, encouraging me when I'm down, pushing my back when I'm scared.”.

“As a working partner I could have.”

“Partner yes...” sounds bitter, “From everyone, even you core of my biggest failure.” Mumbled.

“Don't blame me. What if the situation is reversed. You were forced to marry Davina? Want?!” my challenge

“Hm..”

Then we fell silent.

And he finally whispered, “True too.”

“Certify me.” I said.

“So ugly was there..” he pulled the blanket over his shoulder, and lay on his back. He can also snatch her.
