CULTIV

● Mantiv(16)

as promised, unfortunately Evita who held the meeting 3 times because it accelerated. This meeting should have been held for 3 days, but Evita asked her fellow workers to accelerate, which was held for three days, now to 1 day in 3 meetings, he said, the first meeting in the afternoon just arrived in the city of Q, the second at night at 8 o'clock and the third this morning.

Meeting just finished at 10 am, Evita had to return to city A with a 4-hour journey. But it was just the calculation, it turned out that when the trip home, congestion occurred and it delayed his return about 3 hours.

In a Bar.This time Echan, Yoongi and Za intervene in a bar siege that conducts illegal transactions, more precisely women's trading.

They began the siege from 8am, as the bar was open at 9am. So they had done a disguise so as not to be known by the workers in the bar.

It was now 12 noon, where everyone had already completed their respective tasks. Echan was checking the room on the top floor while Yoon-gi was checking in the basement where the transaction or sale was made.

“Pak Za....all the perpetrators have been put in the car.but there is something I want to tell sir..” said one of Za's subordinates. Za heard that only gave a small nod to his Subordinate to continue his speech.

“Servants here have been involved with new people Pak” he said.

Yoongi who came from downstairs heard the conversation. He suddenly recalled the two women he had met in this bar a few days ago.

“What do they do transactions too?” asked Za without glancing at the subordinate.

“No Sir.they just come and go just like that” said the Subordinate.

“means they are not involved, but try to find out his identity, so that we can prevent sales like this” explained Za who then switched his phone screen.

He saw that time had shown the time of day break, thus, he told his subordinates to quickly finish everything and rest while he returned to the residence of the great Zhan family along with Yoongi and Echan.

The detective company is receiving good news. Yes they got news of the siege at the Bar.

“See..after there is evidence the police just intervened” said one employee there.

“ak....but it also can not be said to be their fault, because maybe in the past during the examination of that bar, there is no such thing as a sale like this” explained someone.

“But still, I think the police here actually relax a lot” said the rejection.

“no..you don't just claim bad like that, if they relax, you think why the accident is starting to decrease now, and why the crime case is slightly reduced.

“but I'm right no.. Still they need us to open the mystery in their case” who refused earlier still defend himself.

The king heard the commotion, he wanted to mediate the quarrel by approaching them “that's enough.don't be like this, Elders and Boss don't like it”.

Seeing someone stop there was a sense of relief, but knowing that person was the King who was a new person in this world of work, they were a little dislike, he said, because the King here is one of the lucky people to get a job directly near the position of superior. But the dislike was easily faded because it was always replaced with the courtesy of the King to the workers there.

They regained their composure, and welcomed the arrival of the King to discuss the hard work of Intari and Amelya elders including their boss.

From a distance someone smiled at the interaction. He wanted to join but his intention was lowered because he still had some work to complete.

The clock has shown at 4 past 50. Evita can only calm down when passing through a large traffic jam that occurs, yes this jam occurs because of the siege carried out on a bar. For what reason, he knew that the police arrested the perpetrator who tried to escape, causing a traffic jam.

“Sebastian..just between me.” he said when he arrived at the Zhan family residence. Inside Sebastian's car just nodded. And Evita got out of her car with a bad feeling.

After her car moved away from the Zhan family, Evita stood in front of the pillar of the house like the palace. His heart felt a little calm even though he knew that after setting foot in this residence, there would be times when he really stepped on it or maybe there would be times when he stepped on it and became a part of it.

A servant from a distance stood on the threshold of the entrance of the hall. Evita sees it wanting to say hello, but suddenly...

“WHAT-WHAT...... WHAT TIME IS IT..IS THIS GRANDSON TOO PROUD UNTIL WE HAVE TO WAIT DURING THIS” scream from inside the house was heard in Evita's ear. He just sighed and made the flat face look full of smiles.

Evita did not go straight in because the waiter in front of her blocked her step.“Who are you?”Ask.

Evita slightly tilted her head, describing that the servant in front of her did not know him.Why all this time he was too hidden or because he was rarely seen, his mind.

“I...Heard that, the waiter immediately returned to his friendly mode and happily brought Evita into the hall which was cold but gave a hot air that made you sweat.

“First Master, Second Master,Third Master.ini Miss Evita has come” greet the waiter to the three people who are sitting the middle among the long sofas.

The three people were already aged, yet still looked gallant to walk what else they saw was still able to lead this large family.

Evita who was dragged without her consent could only smile and calm down. He saw all the families here were gathering, or rather waiting for his late arrival.

Evita simply adjusted her breathing calmly and showed her real smile without showing her true nature.

“Sorry Mr. Zhan and all, because of my delay in this meeting.Evita wanted to open the atmosphere to be calmer, and there was a family atmosphere, but not yet finished he spoke someone from a distance cut off his conversation.

“Slow yes late, no need to find excuses.this is the proud grandson of the Alex family?” his speech was cold, loud and also full of emphasis as if he should not be opposed.

Evita heard it just put the right ketelinga and then removed the left ketelinga. He said “I'm not the grandson of pride”

Evita smiled to respond to the words of the person who was now standing not far from her and then sat down like a big mistress.

“Say your name who?” rough was what sounded in everyone's ears maybe, but for Evita it was just a small speech that dodged her in her ear. Because Evita knows that she does not need to introduce herself anymore, people also know if they see her directly.

But appreciating the person in front of him or maybe the big mistress in this family, he replied “I Evita” he said while looking down a little to give his respect.

“Wow.............kau Evita..people known for their cold nature, then you smile like this are you wearing your mask?” all those who do not like his words want to cut but they have no rights.

Right now the Zhan family gathers just to see who is the first grandchild of Alex's extended family who is betrothed impromptu with Za.

Of the 3 grandfathers who were the hosts, and the daughters-in-law and children. They have 5 children and all the men so we can be sure that the woman here is his daughter-in-law.

The call here only mentions Uncle and Aunt and if you want to get to know them, just mention uncle and second or third Aunt. That's probably how this family works.

Echan and Yoon-gi were standing behind the sofa, as their parents were sitting next to each other so they stood behind their parents as a sign that they were the children of the couple. So did the others.

Yoongi and Echan looked at each other when they heard their second Aunt's words. They both shackle each other. “Second aunt passed.supply we are also late” their respective minds.

It is true, because Yoongi, Echan and Za are handling the case a little late, their intention at 12 o'clock is finished but because they need to rest a while and need to take the perpetrators directly to the police station. Until arriving at the Zhan family residence they came at 4 pm. No one said they were late. Yes they know that they are the hosts as well, but there is a sense that they can not bear to see a woman who is only a guest but given a spicy greeting when entering the foot of their family's residence.

Evita was silent to hear that, there was a sense of wanting to laugh freely for her, she said, but he dropped out because he thinks it is time to give his best so that his parents are not insulted by this large family or rather this sitting woman.

“Sorry..this is my character.maybe people think I cool” he said defend himself, in fact he was lazy to do it but what can be done, what can be done, he just needs to get this done quickly and hope it ends soon.

The woman glanced from the feet to the face of Evita, then looked silently and spoke “Alright..seems like you are indeed busy.maybe you are busy holding back your nervousness” he said. Evita just smiled.

“Busy nervous your embrace Big madam...if I can I do not need to participate in this introduction and can casually face my meeting” Evita's mind.

“Already..Do not like that son-in-law...Evita sat” said someone from the three main people sitting at the front. Evita smiled as if she wanted to take a seat but suddenly her steps stopped because someone suddenly questioned her.

“You sit with me” said the woman wearing a sweet pink dress like a gentle mother. Evita smiled she nodded.

The woman who sat decent like the boss was just jostling with annoyance because it seemed like everyone did not want her to interfere too much.

“Known me is Wenki.pangil only Kiki” greet Women who sit beside Evita. Evita nodded her head there was a sense of security in her heart sitting next to this woman. Kiki here is Third daughter-in-law.

“Alright...Therefore we will discuss the issue of this introduction..nak Za do you want to convey something?” ask Grandpa who is standing on the right. Evita was a bit confused to understand the three people in front of this, their auras were indeed spirited leaders but she was confused as to who the three of them were.

“Ah sorry..I forgot that we have not been acquainted...Introduce me is Mr. Zhan.Besides my right is my sister, as well as my left greeting people in the middle, Evita nodded indicating he understood the words of the person in the middle.

“We are called Grandpa.but if you want to distinguish it just call Third Grandpa..” show the person on the left.

“Second grandfather” then refer to the person on the right. “and I am called First Grandpa” he points to himself. Evita nodded again.

“Which is here all our daughters-in-law, I have 3 sons, while beside me they have one son” each he said and again Evita nodded. It's “complex family arrangement”

“You can call them Uncle Bibi first. Or Uncle second aunt as you currently sit with Third Aunt” he said. Evita showed a relaxed reaction and nodded but in fact she stared at the horror about this family arrangement being really complicated in her brain.
