After Erich's death from his cafe, Isabel's feelings were made unsettled. He decided to go home. Maybe it would be better if he talked about Retno's problem to Ratih or his other family. He will not hold it alone, considering that what happened also concerns the lives of others.
Once entering the new residence two months Isabel, he was greeted by Thomas and his wife and child who are now sitting on the living room sofa.
"Uncle, aunt, sisters" Isabel greeted as she smiled at those who were waiting for her. "It's nice to meet you guys" the girl continued, kissing the couple's hands and also kissing the cheeks of her cousin's sisters.
Thomas rubbed the top of Isabel's head in love.
"We missed you. Since you've lived in this house, you've rarely visited our house." Thomas' wife showed her protest. He who loved Isabel so much, like not accepting when the girl decided to buy her own house and had to leave her house that some time ago the girl lived.
Isabel chuckled softly, bringing the body of the aunt into her arms.
"Sorry, lately the cafe is having a lot of customers. Isabel must also help to ease the work of the employees a little. Yes, understand, the cafe is still new with a small number of employees." Isabel gave a little explanation. He gave understanding to Aunt and her uncle so as not to misunderstand.
Ratih emerged from the kitchen with some fresh drinks. When looking at Ratih, Isabel also spontaneously recalled the conversation back with Erich a few moments ago who discussed about Retno.
"Auntie," call Isabel to Retno. "Come here, sit with us" the girl who made Ratih was immediately overwhelmed with many questions in her mind. Nothing could happen if Isabel did it by putting up her serious facial mimic.
Isabel sat on a single sofa, while Ratih approached and sat on the sofa located beside her. Not much different from Ratih, Thomas and the Wife were filled with curiosity. The two looked at each other, with a pair of eyebrows intertwined as if asking 'what's the matter?'.
"Did your aunt remember Mr Erich?"
Practice trying to remember.
"The CEO of the company where Aunt Retno works?"
I don't know. Ratih may have only heard his name but never once saw his face.
"Remember, miss. It's just that aunt never saw what her face was like."
Isabel nodded faintly and then sighed deeply. He behaved as calmly as possible, hoping that Ratih would not be surprised to hear the words that would come out of his lips.
"So Mr. Erich came to see me. He said something important to me about Aunt Retno."
The coach was surprised. He hasn't even contacted his sister since he moved.
"About what, miss? Definitely Retno over there is fine, right? Nothing bad happened to him, right?" Ratih's face was now beginning to imply anxiety. He leaned his body to get closer to Isabel.
Flowing all the explanations from Isabella's lips. The girl repeated all of Erich's words without reducing or adding in the slightest. Isabel chose to be honest and told everything to Ratih and his Uncle and aunt. Ratih could not help but cry. Never thought if his former employer would drag others as an outlet of his anger. Meanwhile, Thomas's hands clenched. It's amazingly furious. It is impossible to think that women like Arum can act as anarchists.
"I won't stay silent. Maybe it's time for us to make the calculations." The man's jaw is hardened. His calm face was now turning fierce. He must quickly strategize. Gather as many reinforcements as possible to deal with a lioness like Arum.
"But in what way uncle. Isabel knew Arum's mother well. That girl is so sly and slippery. It's hard for us to beat him."
Also true. Killing will not solve the problem. Thomas just wanted to see the haughty woman lost and destroyed as destroyed, so as not to have the courage even just to hold her head up.
"Uncle can pay for some bodyguards. At least we can sneak into town xx to soften Bi Retno to the capital to be safe with their help." But Thomas also seemed unsure of the idea that sparked in his mind.
"Mother Arum has many treasures. With money, he could buy everything. He must have paid a lot of bodyguards to protect him. Including paying people to take our lives. It's too heavy uncle. We don't have the strength to match him. The bodyguards that uncle sent must have lost a lot to the people of Arum's mother who must have been scattered in the city xx." Isabel pasrah's. For him it was too cloud to survive the clutches of the stepmother.
"Isabel," call Thomas.
"Yes uncle."
"Isn't the property that the woman claimed as hers, aren't there still your rights as well?" It is impossible if Arum has already moved all assets on his behalf. Although Praja was once so sweet on Arum, but Thomas believes that from all the wealth that his brother-in-law has, there must still be the name of Isabel as the owner of the patent on his property.
"Of course." Isabel is not interested at all when it comes to the property of her parents. For the girl, treasure is the number one cause of all the tempests that occur in her family. If his parents were poor, his mother would still be alive today . And if his parents are poor, of course Arum will not be a thorn in the marriage of his parents. For the main purpose of Arum to raise with the Father, is not because of love alone but tempted by the property owned by Praja.
"I'll ask your father directly. After all, your father's condition is starting to improve now. Uncle is sure, if he will no longer be silent if it concerns you and the lives of others. The woman did not need to pretend anymore, after all, as long as your father was paralyzed, he must have seen clearly what his own wife's temperament was like. Cunning, greedy, and betrayed. So Uncle I think your father has no reason to keep that woman to be his wife. Divorce, and return the woman to her place of origin, that's a fair price to avenge all the evil she's done."
Isabel was silent. It's not easy as people talk. He's not sure. To return to his residence and seize all the property of his father, is not he the same as just delivering lives? Arum has a sturdy fortress that is difficult to penetrate the opponent. Especially after the escape he and his father from home. Of course care will be layered firm.
No, perhaps taking it all is the most appropriate path.
But what about Retno? Isabel closed her eyes. The situation is really tight right now.
"One side of the uncle is optimistic, but on the other side the uncle is pessimistic. Come to think of it, maybe our strength is not worth them. But Aunt Retno's life is threatened. The only way to be able to fight them was to strengthen the escort. But who are we going to look for help with?" Actually Thomas has many colleagues who offer help. It's just that the man does not want if the family's personal problems of the late brother became public consumption and known to the public. Wasn't this like a disgrace, and Thomas himself was as much as possible to keep covering it up.
Assistance.
Isabel gamang's. Hearing the complaint of the uncle now actually reminds him of Erich.
Do I just take help from him?
