“Kak, I want to say something.” Amira asked after they reached the hotel where Andi was staying.
“OK. Arfan you wait in the lobby. I'm the same Amira want to chat first.” explained Andi.
Andi followed Amira's steps. He had no suspicion of his sister. When he arrived at the hotel park, Amira invited Andi to sit there. Afterwards Amira immediately grabbed Andi's hand.
“Eh what are you doing?” Andi asked when she saw Amira opening her gloves. Andi grimaced slightly as Amira put a little pressure on the wound on her hand.
“I have guessed that Brother hid the wound behind this glove.” Amira said when she saw Andi's hand wrapped in bandages. Andi wears gloves to cover the presence of bandages on her hands.
At first Amira thought her brother was wearing gloves for style, but she was suspicious at the outbound location. Andi pick out the outbound rides he plays. And all the rides that Andi avoid have one thing in common, the rides use the palm of the hand to enjoy it. This made him suspicious of Andi about his hand
“This sister's hand is why?” Andi could hear the worry in Amira's tone.
Andi took a deep breath. “This is the burn I got when helping someone who was in an accident.”
“Why sister is not careful. Look now you get burns like this. Helping someone is a good thing. But, do not also help someone so that brother is hurt.”
“If I don't monolongnya, the person will die roasted in his car.”
Hearing Andi's words, Amira fell silent. Carefully the girl again put the gloves into her brother's hand wrapped in bandages.
“Don't tell this to mom, I don't want to make her worry.” Andi Pinta.
*****
Andi arrives at Dinda's birthday party. The party was held at a hotel run by the girl's family. As Andi remembers, the ballroom where Dinda's birthday is on the fifth floor of this hotel. Andi needs to take the elevator to get there.
When the door of the elevator that Andi was riding on was about to close, the young man heard someone asking him to hold the elevator door. Shortly after, someone entered the elevator. Andi raised her head to see who was the one with her. How surprised Andi saw who was in an elevator with him.
“You.” “You.” Said Andi and the person simultaneously.
The person who had just entered was intending to get out of the elevator. He refuses to be in the elevator with Andi. However, the elevator they were riding on had already moved up.
“Cih.” The man grieves. “Sial once I one lift with a guy like you.”
“Heh.” Andi grunted softly. “I didn't think you were out of the hospital. How are you Jony?”
“For what you pretended to care about me like that. All these wounds I also get because of you.” It turns out that the person who had one elevator with Andi was Jony, a schoolmate who had been beaten by Damar.
“I didn't tell them to beat you, did I? Then, why are you saying as if I told those thugs to beat you up?”
“Heh.” Jony grunting. “Indeed they beat you up not because of your man. But they beat me up because they were afraid of getting beat up by your uncle. So, anyway, this is all your fault.”
Andi shook her head slowly. “You could say, it's all your own fault. You started telling those thugs to beat me up. If only I wasn't good at martial arts, it would have been the person who entered the hospital instead of you, but me. Never play with fire if you are afraid of getting burned. Never wear thugs if you yourself are afraid of getting beat up.”
“Do not doubt you have an uncle a thug you can do as you please. Don't feel in the wind because you won. For now you win, but not for the future. Remember Andi all this is not over.”
“In our province, the strongest group of thugs is not just your Uncle's lead group. There are still some groups of thugs who have power on par with your uncle group. I hope you are ready to face those who want to take down your uncle.” Jony said before exiting the elevator.
Andi followed the young man from behind. However, Andi stopped his steps a few steps before the entrance of the ballroom. If only his hands were not injured, it was certain that Andi would clasp tightly this time.
For Andi, this is a stern warning. Jony warns Andi that he will carry out a greater retaliation than ever before. Indeed Andi did not know how big of a problem Jony would give, but clearly it was a big and serious danger.
What makes it all dangerous is that Jony has information about his family. Whoever they are, where they live, the work of their family members, all that basic information Jony knows. That would be a pretty big danger.
Andi knew that her father could protect himself. But, what about his mother who can not defend herself, Arfan who is not so good at martial arts, and Amira who despite being able to defend herself, Arfan is not so good at martial arts, but the girl was weaker than the leaders of the thugs.
If Jony were to target him later, it wouldn't be a problem. However, if his family members were to be targeted, wouldn't that be a considerable danger?
Andi needs to find a solution on this. At least, his family needs to know there is a danger that might have been lurking them. Thus, his family could be wary of strangers around them. But this is a little more difficult, because Aripto and Andi are still in a condition not getting along like this.
“Looks like I have to see dad after this. I need to straighten out all these misunderstandings.” Andi murmured in the heart.
Previously Andi intended to set things straight at the annual gathering of his family, seven days later. But that must be done andi. There is a serious problem that must be found a solution immediately, and this he can not delay any longer.
For now, Andi needs to attend Dinda's birthday party. He's already got here. It would be unethical if he suddenly left without greeting the one who had the event. At least Andi needs to provide action figures from Hinata that he had previously purchased.
Dinda's party now looks pretty crowded. Several people were seen already in the ballroom. Andi could see some of her classmates were already inside the ballroom. Andi circulated her gaze looking for the whereabouts of the party owner girl.
‘That's him there.’ Andi murmured inwardly when he saw Dinda's presence near the stage.
Andi walked closer to Dinda. On the way there, Andis could hear the whispers of some people who were there. Andi could guess that he was the one who became the conversation pamphlet of those people. But Andi ignored him, walking confidently towards Dinda.
“Hai Din, happy birthday yes. Here's a little gift from me.” Said Andi when he got near Dinda. The young man also handed a paper bag containing action figures to Dinda.
“Ah thank you Andi, it has come. I don't think you'll come like before. Actually, you don't need to bring me a gift.”
“No problem. Think of this as my apology for not having been at your birthday party before, Andi.” explained
Hearing Andi's words, inevitably Dinda must receive a gift from Andi. “Alright, I'll take this gift from you. Thank you yes.” Dinda guess this gift isn't worth much. Even so, the sincerity of the person who buys is what he values, not the price of the goods used as gifts.
“Wah-wah, I didn't expect you to also give Dinda a gift. What is that gift you gave Dinda?” Jony asked who had suddenly come to them.
Andi frowned. It seems like Jony is indeed a person who likes to make trouble. If not, why did he suddenly come here?
“Do you want to come here Jony?” Tanya Dinda was still quite polite.
Jony shook his head slowly. “I just want to know what this guy gave you as a gift.” Reply Jony who refused to mention Andi's name. “Try to open what this man gave you. I'm curious about the contents.”
“Iya Din try to open we want to know. Andi is becoming a great person now. His uncle is a famous person in Surabaya, it is clear what he gives is not ordinary.” Answer someone Jony's henchman.
When Jony sees Andi carrying a paper bag, he knows that Andi came with a gift for Dinda. Jony could have guessed that what Andi gave was a bargain. Even though Uncle Andi is a big thug, it is impossible not that his uncle gave Andi money to buy gifts from others. Therefore Jony intends to humiliate Andi in front of many people.
Jony had already asked some of his loyal henchmen to slightly corner Dinda. That way, inevitably the girl will open the gift of Andi. If that happens, it is certain that the goal will be achieved.
“No. I don't intend to open these gifts right now. So, no matter how you ask, I won't open my card.”
Andi smirked a little at that. They wanted to embarrass him. Obviously that's not going to happen. What Andi gave for Dinda's gift was not a luxury item that cost dozens or tens of millions, but an official action figure. Although it looks trivial, at least such action figures cost millions to dozens of millions. So, it was clear Jony wasn't going to get what he wanted.
