BLUE METAVERSE

WHAT'S LEFT

Eyang Dewi still smiled wisely with his graceful style. There was no hatred in his eyes. He still adores Satya as a lord despite knowing many flaws in his life. Occasionally there are water droplets pooling in the corner of his eyes that have revealed many noticeable wrinkles. Eyang Dewi rubbed it with the tip of a silk scarf that was always draped on the shoulder. It was hard to show any firmness among the gentle turmoil of his heart. The Goddess remained a fragile mother. There is no mother in this world who is not hurt by being left behind by a child who is loved very much.

“Your father often threatens to kill people if angry or jealous, but that's just the expression in the tongue. He never really intended to kill people. Many witnesses confirmed it, including your mother. Your father has not been shown to tell anyone to shoot at Ardi.” Eyang Dewi again emphasized that it was not his father who caused the death of his ashes Fathia.

“Why did the incident happen almost simultaneously huh, Yang? Do you know that until now Rosyid and aunt Nisa still look at father with a look of hate?”

“What does it look like?”

Faiz nodded.

“Rosyid also does not like me.”

Eyang Dewi embraced it and kissed the sweet potato gently. “You don't get mad, honey. Be patient! Rosyid and her daughter have not sincerely lost the person she loved so much. This misunderstanding will not be resolved if the shooter has not met. Your father is in a difficult position to defend himself in the presence of his brother-in-law and nephew. I'm sorry I can't heal a wound that's been so bad. The incident still inflicts a deep trauma on cousin's sister and daughter.”

Faiz nodded, trying to understand by thinking from their point of view. If the opposite happened, maybe he would also feel a very deep pain and anger. It was not their fault that Faiz's father was angry and threatened to kill. Shortly after the threat, his loved ones were killed. Anyone would attribute the threat to the bitter event even without evidence.

Eyang Dewi took out some files from inside the drawer he opened using a duplicate key that had just been created by an expert locksmith. The file is neatly arranged in a plastic map.

“Eyang, want to order dinner what?” Fathia suddenly appeared in front of the door with a spoiled smile and a slanted head.

“You order food online?”

“Neg, Which. I'm going out with brother Doni and brother Hani.”

“Where?”

“Ke Siyeun restaurant at the end of that road.”

“Kak Faiz not invited?”

Fathia blushed. Actually he went to the room all together to persuade Faiz to enjoy a night in the frigid suburb of Sukabumi. But it looks like his cousin's brother is seriously talking to his eyes.

“Kak Faiz want to come?” Fathia asked as she blinked her eyes.

“Neg. Still want to talk to both equally. Kangen.”

“Ya. What message do you want?”

“Nasi fried aja deh.” A standard option that Faiz says is in every restaurant is fried rice. Regardless of the variation there is always a fried rice menu in this remote archipelago.

“What message?”

“Order unsweetened fruit juice equal milk UHT plaint.”

“I added the same menu with eyang.” sela Faiz who was spontaneously interested in healthy dinner menu ala eyang Dewi.

“That's expensive, Brother.”

“Later brother transfer deh.”

“Totally? A lot of transfers, brother! Brother Faiz is the best brother in the universe. Thanks yes, Brother.” The boy was busy mucking around Faiz and kissed him on the cheek.

Oops. Is this a gift or a disaster? Be able to kiss the cheek of the pretty responsibility girl and have started looking agile again tonight. His cheeks were already looking fresh with a reddish tinge that blushed near his cheekbones. Feels warm.

Faiz took his salary then activated m-banking for the transfer of dinner fees to Fathia's account. With just a click, the funds have changed accounts.

The Goddess was fixated on the file that was now in her hands. Seemed to be thinking hard about digesting something heavy. Faiz peeked at the contents. It is a stack of PT CB newspaper accounts whose transactions are marked with bright yellow. The marked transaction is on average a transfer to the account of the owner of the company and some of the same names that are allegedly not company partners. From the date of his transaction the newspaper account occurred 2-5 years ago.

“Yang, can Faiz not bring this file?”

“Make analyzed. Who knows in this file there is something that can prove someone's crime against Ardi. This must be an important file. Hence om Ardi store in a special place whose key no one knows.”

The Goddess nodded. He put the files in the plastic folder into a carry-on bag that was probably Ardi's laptop bag. There was a famous laptop brand logo on the front of that black bag.

“Laptop om Ardi where, Which?”

“Lost. Your aunt and people home no one knows where the deceased's laptop is.”

Gone off? Could someone have stolen it? There must be a lot of secrets in that laptop. It's a shame why it's gone. Though in it there may be evidence that can confirm Satya's father's innocence. Faiz believes his father can't be evil to Ardi. I just miss saying something and there are people who take advantage of that moment for revenge.

"What do you want to do, Iz?"

"Help to investigate who sent the mysterious shooter."

"You sure you can?"

"There's no harm in trying, Yang. If all the roads are dead, just give up."

The Goddess Eyang looked at him with a brightly lit twinkle of hope. "Aren't you scared?"

"Please pray that Faiz can help uncover all this."

Eyang nodded surely and smiled.

Faiz helped to dismantle the items in the drawer of the work desk relic om Ardi. He saw a black agenda book sandwiched between the top drawer and the bottom drawer. Position's bent. It cannot be forced by hand without damaging it. He forced the top drawer until the drawer separated from the table. The book fell into the bottom drawer and Faiz picked it up.

A photograph fell as Faiz flicked the agenda book from the dust. A photo of a young mother in a mangrove forest area. Real pretty.

"Om Ardi keeps a picture of your mother in his agenda book." Faiz spoke flatly while opening a daily agenda sheet containing schedule activities and meeting notes with various business relations.

The Goddess let out a long breath. His breathing sounded a little harsh.

"You know that Ardi loves you?"

Faiz. She said she deserves to be loved and admired by many people.

"But mother loves your father very much."

Poor o'm Ardi. Does he still keep his love for his mother until the end of his life?

"Why did Ardi marry Aunt Nisa?"

"Because according to your group, aunt Nisa deserves more to be with om Ardi because it is better religion and more beautiful."

"Is their family life happy, Yang?"

"happy. Everyone sees it that way. They never argue and understand each other. Love comes from being used to it. There's never been a big deal in their family life."

"Did you get jealous often?"

The Goddess smiled. "Your father is jealous, dear. He often threatens people he considers impolite or bothers his wife with the words 'mock your eyes' or 'kill you ya'." Eyang Dewi imitated the father's speech with the intonation of the voice and the appearance of a typical angry face of Satya's father. Faiz laughed because it was funny.

Yep. Faiz had also heard these words while he was still in the office. Father always scolded the officer or new person who dared to look at the mother with a gaze that he considered perverted, impolite or unpleasant. Most employees choose to greet with a smile and their heads lowered as they passed in front of them.
