BLUE METAVERSE

BAD MEMORIES

Aunty Nisa and Rosyid returned to the boarding school with a pack of Bunari carrying several dus of heritage books from om Ardi to be donated to the library. Ardi's workspace is almost empty. Eyang Dewi has requested permission to spend the night in the house for the last time to the buyer who legally has the right to the house because the deed of sale and purchase has been completed signed by all parties. Faiz took the initiative to accompany Fathia and eyang Dewi who he said still need to clear some files and personal items of om Ardi who may still be left behind and will be taken to Jakarta.

I don't know what om Ardi's legacy is still left behind. The motor trail and watch collection Faiz had seen last year were gone. A safe containing documents and important assets has been secured since the home

it was emptied of the occupants. All documents related to insurance, banking and other administrative documents have been taken care of as appropriate. Faiz thought there were no more precious relics in this house. Eyang just want to reminisce with the memories of his deceased child. Apart from all that, Faiz was happy to accompany her eyes because she likes to tell stories with her style of speech that looks graceful, meaningful, and fun like Javanese noble women.

“This house has been marketed a year ago, only this time there is a suitable one. The buyer turned out to be the new plant director at PT Cantika Bestari, Iz. Previously, Mr. Safi worked in a skin care factory in Surabaya. He said he already felt at home in Sukabumi, so interested in buying property here."

“His job is the same as Ardi's last post huh, Yang?”

“Yes."

"Om you are stubborn, want to show that he is able to achieve work anywhere without elements of nepotism. Though eyang would prefer if you help your father raise Goldlight. Now the factory is part of Goldlight. Your mother turned out to have bought 50% shares of PT Cantika Bestari some time before your death.”

DEG. During this time Faiz never knew the development of his family business. He just a little understood why aunt Nisa seems to blame her father on the case of death om Ardi. It turns out that PT Cantika Bestari has been acquired

partly by Goldlight. In other words, Ardi at the end of his life worked a little for Goldlight as well.

But Faiz did not want to be busy guessing. It is better that he digs up more information from Dewi about the other side of his family life. Rosyid looked at her hatred and dad must have been the trigger.

“What om Ardi died has to do with his father or business competitor?”

“That doesn't know. You never said anything before his death. Not even giving a hunch. If according to the narration of Mr. Safi earlier, PT Cantika Bestari was almost bankrupt after the death of you and

just got up again these few months after your father's intervention and Goldlight's management."

“Dad?”

“Ya.”

“So according to eyang is there still a link between the death of om Ardi and father?” Faiz asked again so that he could get a more definite answer

“That doesn't know.” The Goddess continued to answer in the same word.

“But said aunt Nisa, Fathia's grandfather and father both died, sacrificing for Goldlight and the family of Wirajaya Halim. Is it possible that the old owner of PT CB does not like Goldlight to acquire the factory and kill Ardi who might be considered to be the reason Goldlight can acquire the company?” Faiz tried to guess something based on his logic alone to dig more information from the side of the Goddess's eyes.

“That doesn't know, Iz. Om you never told me anything. Everything is always said to be okay. You misunderstood me, son. Um you died before the shares were acquired by Goldlight, so Ardi's death has nothing to do with Goldlight. One day, your mother and Ardi initially bought PT CB's shares on behalf of private."

Faiz grimacing. Alright. One key word can be concluded, the death of om Ardi has nothing to do with sacrificing for goldlight as was echoed aunt Nisa.

Eyang took a photo and 2 small vandals belonging to om Ardi then put it into the cardboard he had prepared. His face still looked grim. The lines on his face were becoming more real. Although his lips smiled wisely, the lines of his face still painted a deep sadness.

“Eyang only knows this problem version of your father and mother after eyeang forced him to tell a story. A few months before you died, you offered your father to buy shares of PT CB because at that time the company did not have fresh funds for production due to the owner losing a business dispute with a foreign company. At the same time, the owner's son was also involved in drug cases and the prospective regional head he supported in the elections lost. In essence, the company's money is widely used for the personal interests of the owner to disrupt the plant's operations. But your father at that time objected to buying it for different reasons and did not like the old owner."

Eyang switched to open the drawer om Ardi work table that had been locked. He had called the locksmith earlier this afternoon to make a spare key because no one ever knew where the lock of a work desk made of solid teak wood was. Until now sought never to meet. Not in the safe. Nor is it in storage places such as in closet drawers, clothes bags, pants or other places.

“Later your father found out that the one who later bought the shares of the company was your bundle. According to the mother, the biggest reason to buy PT CB shares is so that the company's operations can still run. The company needs fresh funds for the survival of hundreds of factory workers who rely on daily life from the salary he earned.”

“Mother?”

“Your mother's father had a big fight over that problem.”

“Those who saw themselves they had a fight? Likewhat?" Faiz.

The Goddess shook her head. "Your parents never fought in public, Iz. Since marriage, he has always seen them as a compatible couple who support each other in every way."

“Tante Nisa also don't know?”

“Nobody knows your father's household affairs. Maybe even employees or household assistants do not all know. Anyang just found out after your departure because he had bad thoughts on your father.”

“What father and mother still quarrel about it?”

Eyang smiled, “Eyang thought no. Last year your father finally wanted to buy shares on behalf of Goldlight and intervene into the management of the company PT CB.”

“What does that mean dad bought stock after mom failed?”

“Your mother is experienced and great at designing buildings and managing construction project management, but is not good at managing cosmetics companies."

Hm. Spontaneous Faiz smiled cynically. Though the mother is a beautiful woman why can not take care of the business that has to do with beauty. In fact, he likes to hang out with artisans and project foremen who look shabby and sunburned. Mother prefers to be in a male-dominated world. Wonder.

“Ohya. Eyang said he had bad thoughts about dad. Why?”

“Because your father was questioned by the police for a few days. Your aunt said, before returning to Sukabumi om you received a call from your angry father and threatened to kill him."

Faiz glaring. Until Dad gets angry? There is a big problem what is really between them until Faiz who does not know anything is also affected by the hatred of aunt Nisa and Rosyid. Why did you get that angry at Ardi? On the same day, Ardi meets a mysterious shooter and dies in the accident. A big question mark appeared on Faiz's head. So big question marks that it felt very heavy burdening his head.

“What's the reason dad was so angry?”

“Jealous because your bundle helped om Ardi secretly without his consent.”

“So dad is angry with mom and om Ardi? They cheated?”

"No. Your mother is not like that, her intention is purely to help. Mommy believes that Ardi can manage PT Cantika Bestari better if it is not disturbed by the personal interests of the old owner. Especially Ardi's brother's husband."

"Yet your father was only angry for a moment. Not really going to kill Ardi. Somehow it just happened that the incident happened and until now has not been found who exactly the mysterious shooter and what his motivation is."

According to Faiz, there are no coincidences. There must be people who intend to be evil and capture this moment as the most appropriate time to harm om Ardi so that the accusations will be addressed to father.

"Thank you, it wasn't you who told the shooter, was it?"

Eyang Dewi removed the water droplets in the corner of his eyes that began to wrinkle with a scarf.

"Thank you, it's definitely not your father. Your father was a responsible knight. It is impossible to throw a rock hiding a hand. He respects and loves me. It's impossible to lie to you."
