“Dad, I think my guess all along was right. The true Successor is not as great as our ancestors tell us. Or if not so, The Successor we meet is the False Successor.” Arman.
In Bayu's mind Arman's speech increasingly stated the reality that exists. Especially now that they have no clarity on where the Successor is. All contacts just broke up.
Bayu immediately turned his gaze to Darsono and Rusdi who were beside him. He gave a sharp look to the father and son pair.
“This is all because of you two. Surely you guys deliberately introduced a fake successor to us, right? Just confess you guys.” Saying Bayu while pointing his index finger towards Darsono.
“Why are you accusing us like that? It is indeed I who introduced you to this Successor, but instead of You alone have also ascertained its authenticity? You said he was indeed the original Successor.”
“Now, you accuse us like that. You think you're the only one who feels deceived? We also. Our family is now in disarray due to attacks from the Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family.”
“Now we are also looking for the existence of the Successor to solve our family problems as well. Not just you guys.” Darsono said with a sigh.
Previously Bayu himself also check the authenticity of the Successor who is now. The head of the Sanjoyo family had already declared that the necklace belonged to the Successor. So, Darsonos also believes more with this Successor.
It depends a lot on this Successor. Now, when they have a big problem like this, people who trust are lost without any clarity like this.
“So you are also being attacked by the Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family?” Ask Bayu wonder.
Bayu and Arman are too busy dealing with the problems that befall their families. So, only now did they know that Sasongko's family was also in considerable trouble.
“Yes. Nearly seventy percent of our wealth is lost to this crisis. If we don't deal with it immediately, then our family will go bankrupt in the near future.” Rusdi.
“I didn't expect us to suffer a similar fate. I think it's the retaliation of those two families for what we've planned. Before this we had intended to finish off their family members. Now, they reply to us like this.” Darsono.
“That's all because of that fake Successor. Wasn't he the one who told our family to destroy Sasongko family and Sanjoyo family. Now when this vengeance comes, he's the one who disappeared first and let us overcome everything by ourselves.” Arman said.
“We can no longer depend on the fate of our family to this Successor. If we still want to be safe, we need to work on it ourselves.” Darsono.
“Hem... Can we ask forgiveness to the Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family? Who knows if we do they'll stop all this.”
“Heh.” Arman snorted softly after hearing the words from Rusdi. “Indeed, what else can you offer as compensation for our deeds, if your treasure will now run out like this?” Ask Arman to Rusdi.
If they really want to ask for forgiveness from the two families, they need to provide compensation so that their apologies are considered sincere by the Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family.
For the two families, they stayed one step further to control the property of the Sasongko family and the Sanjoyo family. So, it was too late for them to apologize now.
“The Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family are eating up our family. So, there will be no big changes if we do that.” Imbuh Arman's.
“So, we can only surrender to this destiny and wait for the destruction of our family?” Ask Rusdi.
No one answered Rusdi's question. Because they themselves do not know what to answer.
*****
In the morning Andi had come to his luxurious house in Surabaya. Here his family members who would be evacuated for an indeterminate time gathered. The atmosphere of a house that is usually quiet is now turning into a crowded one.
They are now deciding which country they will choose. They had already decided where they were going. But that's just the whole thing. The country has not been determined.
Some will be flown to the United States and Canada, some will be flown to Europe, and some to other countries in Asia. There they will still have to split up again. No one can gather in one place in large numbers.
Andi then approached Anisa who was now checking the completeness of the items they would bring. Beside Anisa, Amira and Arfan looked a little anxious. The two did not exude the slightest sense of pleasure even though they knew they were going out of the country.
If the reason they are out of the country is for a vacation, surely they will be very happy. Unfortunately, their purpose is not that. They need to hide to protect their lives.
“Is everything ready?” Andi asked her mother.
“Yes everything is ready. I only brought a few important things. If anything less, we will buy it in Paris later as your suggestion.” Obviously Anisa.
Indeed, previously Andi asked Anisa to prepare an important item only. Others can be purchased later in Paris. This will facilitate their mobility later.
“So, will everything be okay later?” Arfan asked filled with worry.
“You just calm down. We'll deal with it as soon as possible. We also don't want our family to just live on the run like this. So, we will do everything to win this fight.”
“As long as you hide, you can still help us. Just pray that we can succeed in the mission this time.” Obviously Andi.
“Of course Brother, I will continue to pray for the safety of Father, Brother Andi and the others.” Answer Amira.
Andi then stared fixedly at Anisa. He took out a file and handed it to Anisa.
“This what?” Anisa asked after receiving the files from Andi's hand.
“That's some property I have overseas. It would be difficult for others to keep track of all that. So, I just hold onto all that.”
“Then,” said Andi while thrusting an ATM card to Anisa, “ ATM card that I have prepared for mother. It's pretty much. That is enough to meet the needs of life Mother, Amira and Arfan.”
“I've also contacted Brian. As long as Mom and sisters are in Paris, she will help you if you need help. Don't hesitate to ask Brian.” for help Obviously Andi.
Anisa's eyes glazed over after receiving all of that from Andi. These are not the tears of a mother who sees her child succeed. But these are tears of sadness.
“Why are you doing all this Nak?” Anisa asked with a trembling voice.
“Hah.” Andi took a deep breath. “I'm just preparing for the worst possible Mom. Although I am strong and have a fairly high martial ability, but I do not guarantee that I will be able to survive this.”
“We don't yet know the enemy's power completely. Do they only have sharp weapons, or do they have firearms. So, any possibility could happen. Mother should also prepare for the worst possible.” Obviously Andi.
Andi knew as perfectly as any plan they had put together, it would not guarantee that there would be no casualties on their side. Either it's just a wound, even a death toll. So, Andi wants his family to be ready with all that.
“Do not talk like that.” Said Anisa with a trembling voice.
“What Andi said is true, dear. So, this will probably be an ordinary farewell, but it could be this is the last chance for us to come together as a family.” Said Aripto who suddenly joined in their chat.
“Mas...” Anisa.
Aripto shook his head slowly. “You should be able to take good care of our two children. Don't let them do anything later. Raise them well. Make them good-hearted men and women.” Aripto's Message to Anisa.
Not only the Andi family who had a heavy chat like this. The rest of the Prayudi family are the same. They say goodbye to each other.
Destiny no one knows. As Aripto said, this could have been the last time they spent time together. So, all of them took advantage of the time left before their flight arrived, by chatting with each other.
