Bayu and Arman have just arrived at the apartment they usually visit if they meet the Successor. However, after they pressed the bell many times, the door of the apartment did not open.
“Why didn't anyone open Dad's door? We've been here fifteen minutes but no response at all. Is there no one inside?” Ask Arman to Bayu.
His feet were already getting tired if he had to stand like this. There was also no seat for them to sit and wait. For fifteen minutes Arman just stood up while pressing the door of the apartment. This irritated him because no one responded.
If Arman came here alone, he would have left in the fifth minute. There was definitely no one in the apartment. So, what were they standing around waiting for all this time. Like a fool.
“Besabarlah. We are asking for help. So you need to be patient. Hold your anger it.”
Arman could only obey his father. They waited again and pressed the bell every minute. Fifteen minutes had passed, but the door in front of them had not yet opened.
“It looks like inside there's no Dad. Do we just go and come back tomorrow morning?” Ask Arman.
“It looks like so.”
When they were about to leave, the door of the apartment opened. A person wearing a silver mask with a necklace with a pendant number one was seen behind the door.
Although unable to see the expression of his masked face, but from the tone of his voice Arman and Bayu knew that the person was angry right now.
“What are you guys doing night after night without making an appointment? Do you not know that what you have done is very disturbing my sleep.” Say Number One.
Number one doesn't live here. However, his cell phone is connected to the security system of this apartment. So, when anyone presses the bell of this apartment, Number One will definitely get a notification on his phone.
The notification that came in so much that it bothered him. When he checked from the staff camera, in front of the apartment door was already standing this father and son couple. Initially Number One wanted to ignore all that. He thought they would leave soon.
Unfortunately it didn't happen. They still survive and press the apartment bell without understanding when to give up. Unfortunately Number One can't just turn off the notification. Therefore, he's been coming here all night.
Number One intends to expel this father and son couple so as not to interfere with his time.
“Sorry Mr. Siji has interrupted your break. I came here because there was an urgent incident. I want to see the Successor now. Can he be found now?” Rama asked politely.
“Here is not the residence of the Successor. This is the place where the Successor meets you. Don't you guys know that already?”
Hearing the word Number One makes Bayu just remember about it. Maybe because the problem with his grandson made Bayu forget something as important as that.
“Did you also forget not to find the Successor if it is not being called?”
“I'm sorry Mr. Siji. I forgot something as important as that.”
“If you really want to meet the Successor, make an appointment first. The Successor is busy enough to take care of his other affairs. His time is not only for you guys.”
“I'm sorry Mr. Siji.” Say Bayu again.
“What are the urgent events that make you like this? Just tell me everything. Later I will convey that to The Successor.” Say Number One.
“This is the matter of my grandson Mr. Siji. He was imprisoned by Rama and Dirga. I implore The Successor to help free my grandson from prison.”
“Hem…. Well I'll pass that on to the Successor. Now go home and don't come back here again if you don't make an appointment.” Without waiting for a response from Bayu and Arman, Number One slammed the apartment door in front of them.
Number one does not need to listen to their explanations. Finding out for yourself about the incident was more accurate than trusting Bayu's words.
Treated like that, the anger that Arman had been enduring, erupted like a volcano. “Abless once. We've waited thirty minutes here, he doesn't allow us to sit at all. Instead he slammed the door like that.”
“Daddy are you sure they are really reliable? The more I come here the more convinced they will not make our family successful, but the closer to destruction. They just used us Dad.”
Bayu did not stop the rapprochement made by Arman. The longer he heard it, Bayu felt that what was said by his son was true. They seemed to only be used by someone with the title of successor.
It makes Bayu think, whether the person is really the original Successor, or just someone who claims to be the Successor. The description of the Successor given by His Father to the Successor he met now is very much different.
“Hah.” Bayu took a deep breath. “For now we take care of this problem as much as possible. It seems we cannot expect much from this Successor. After he returns our money that time, we will stop our cooperation with him.” Obviously Bayu.
*****
After evicting Bayu and Arman, Number One immediately works to investigate what really happened. He needs to clearly understand what case is happening to the grandson of Bayu. After the information is collected, then Number One will report this to the Successor.
Let the Successor decide for themselves whether or not they will help the Bayu's grandson. But number one will do that tomorrow morning. It was certain that the Successor was resting at this time. So it's only tomorrow Number One will report this.
Coincidentally tomorrow is the Number One schedule delivering a report to the Successor. So, he no longer needed to make a promise to convey this.
….
Ten o'clock in the morning Number One was already standing at the door of an apartment. He rang the bell. Now he's just waiting for the guy in there to open the door for him. Not long after, someone opened the door to the apartment.
Standing in front of number one was a young man wearing an unarmed shirt. It makes the muscles in his hands clearly visible. When he saw that what came was number one, the young man frowned. He showed a dislike expression to Number One.
“Young Master.” Say Number One while nodding his head to the young man.
“Heh.” The young man responded to the number one greeting with a snort.
“You want to see my cousin yes.” Ask the young man.
“Ya Young Master. I want to meet him.”
“He's taking a shower now. So, you wait here.”
The young man showed his face. His hands were full of muscles, he folded in front of his chest. The young man had absolutely no intention of letting Number One in. He let Number One stand in front of the door, while he guarded the door.
Between the two, no one spoke. They just looked at each other without anyone intending to take their eyes off. The glancing activity stopped when someone came from behind the young man's back.
“You have come apparently.” Say that guy.
“Bos.” “Dek.” Say hello to Number One and the young man simultaneously.
Hearing that, the young man gave his number one sharp gaze. Then, his gaze softened as he looked at his cousin.
“Dek, since you have a guest now, I'll go. I don't want to interrupt your very secret conversation.” The young man said sarcastically.
He then went into the apartment to collect his belongings. Before leaving, the young man looked towards his cousin.
“Tomorrow I'll come back here again. Do not eat late again. Don't waste your time taking care of that useless thing.”
After saying so, the young man left his cousin's apartment without waiting for a response. The young man did not like what his cousin was doing. According to him, it was all just an emotional drain and a waste of time.
Forgiveness is not that bad. By forgiving, the heart will be much calmer and more peaceful. There will be no weight in the heart.
Revenge will not stop the problem. That would even make things worse. Revenge will always spin without an end. We take revenge, then the other side can do the same, then our side will do it again.
Therefore, the young man thought that his cousin had better let go of his family's grudge, which he himself did not engage in the chain of vengeance.
