Reva and Ericka take turns telling stories about their late mother's past, including the estate their grandfather gave to the mother, and now belongs to them.
Ericka also told me all about her abduction by Zacky and his siblings, one of whom was Arlon, the mastermind behind all this terror. They also told about Harja's grandfather who came on the day of his father's death.
"And it all has to do with the estate, Ren." said Reva.
"Then Zacky and his family would know about me, right? They dare to kidnap Ericka, there's no way they don't know about me.. Moreover, they move very planned and organized.
And this was definitely planned in advance, maybe as long as I go to school and college well" said Rendy trying to relate everything.
"More than that, Ren.. Maybe since my mother's death, or.. When he was born maybe" said Reva again.
"Well, they're really psychopaths! To the extent that the matter of possessions was concerned, the family was extremely dangerous. How could grandfather be in a toxic family!" said Rendy shuddered in horror.
"Not everything, Ren. There is aunty Sonia and om Seno who are not like that. They are her children oma Mariani, they are not like her mother and uncle, they are very sane and still think clearly.
It's just that the husband and wife are also their children unlike them, all crazy possessions" said Nico as well.
"Well, pity them, stuck between the family." muttered Rendy.
Ericka looks daydreaming suddenly his memory floated on the day at the funeral of the father, he remembered with a father with his wife and daughter.
"He said, mother's cousin's sister." she muttered unconsciously.
Making her three brothers look at her, they were confused about what Ericka said. Then the child realized that he was currently being noticed by them.
"What did you say, Ericka?" ask Reva curiously.
"Ah, I almost forgot to tell you everything at my father's funeral. I knew at the funeral that someone had come to my mother's grave, and she said she was the mother's cousin.
Brother Nico, there was a big brother at that time too, right? Still remember that uncle, whom you kindly greeted?!" ericka asked happily because she remembered something.
"Uncle? Oho! Om Richard, of course he was a business friend of my late father, he was also a very good person" said Nico also just remembered.
"Sister, at that time I could not hear all his words clearly and still did not understand everything, now I can only understand his words first.
He's Richard, the late mother's cousin. He said that when the mother was born, she was declared dead, and the mother was exchanged while in the hospital with the baby who had died. And mom was put in an orphanage until she grew up.
They only found out after the late eyang uyut died, so they tried to find mother. But unfortunately they only found the mother after the mother was also gone," Ericka told of the incident during her father's funeral.
"Keep, what's he telling you again?" ask Reva curiously.
"Not yet to tell everything, they rush home because their child is exhausted, it seems they came from out of town or maybe abroad" said Ericka again.
"Look at me he lived in one of the big cities in the country, but it's been a long time so I don't know where he is now. But his company includes big companies in the country and is constantly growing and advancing.
If you want to meet him, it's easy, we'll just meet him at his company. And I'm sure he'll be found if he hears your name" Nico said.
"Can I just meet without making an appointment?" ask Rendy again.
"We tried to find out first, afraid he's not in this town. Last I heard he said he was very busy going back and forth from the country to expand his business to abroad" replied Nico again.
"Well, it's not a middle-class businessman anymore, but it's already top-level. The conglomerate!" sahut Rendy again.
"So, when are we going there? Meet him.." asked Reva impatiently.
"We find out now." said Ericka.
From that moment he was silent was looking for information about the uncle, and rightly said Nico he is one of the successful and advanced entrepreneurs, currently developing his company abroad.
"Not so long ago he was doing an interview in one of the television media, he said he is currently here, in Jakarta. Do we go straight to his office tomorrow?
I've also found the head office address and email as well, maybe it can be connected to his personal email address." Ericka said again.
"Absolutely, try emailing them to make an appointment to meet tomorrow." said Rendy.
"Can you make an appointment via email? It's outside of work hours!" reva said astonished.
"The problem is, many companies provide email for customers or the public, asking about their products or services, just try it.. Who knows" said Rendy again.
Ericka actually sent a request to meet with the big boss of the company, there were three email addresses, she sent all her requests, hoping one of them worked.
Ting!
And it turned out to be true, one of his emails replied to Ericka's message, and the reply was very casual, not as formal as usual.
[Good night, can we make an appointment with Mr. Richard Pohan. If it's acceptable, please make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon, thank you..
By. Ericka Victoria Wijaya]
[Who is this?]
[What is this with Mr Richard Pohan?]
[Nobody mentioned my name with that last name, except.].
[Because we are family, Om]
[Who are you?! Because I don't have a niece, except my cousin's.].
[How about we meet tomorrow? We will meet again.].
[All right, I'll see you tomorrow. Meet me at the sushi restaurant on X Street, not far from my office. Lunch time well, around 12, I'm waiting for your presence!"]
Everyone was surprised to see his response so quickly, according to Nico om Richard, he also did not like to interact with the crowd except with people who had been close to him for a long time.
Just this time he responded to an email message so quickly, with an awesome reaction.
"Maybe when Ericka mentioned the last name of the family, so she was interested.." said Reva as well.
"But he didn't realize my father's last name?" ask Rendy confused.
"The father's family is indeed a big family and one of the big conglomerates in this city, but that was then. Before this family was destroyed, and in the media there was only all the junk news!" reva was upset.
"Patience, patience." said Nico to calm his wife.
"Okay, so tomorrow afternoon we'll all hang out at that restaurant, huh?" ericka asked for everyone's approval.
"Well, tomorrow I will be quick to do my job so that it is not too late to come to the meeting!" rendy was excited.
"Hurry up! But must be careful well, there can be no mistakes!" sahut Reva.
"Ready, Boss!" said loudly.
Buk up! Buk up!
Reva beat him with a pillow on the sofa he was sitting on, she was shocked to hear the sound of Rendy being so tight. While Ericka just gawk at the random behavior of her two brothers.
"Relax, it's commonplace." Nico told the confused looking Ericka.
Then Ericka just smiled, and Nico just shook his head he was only worried about the contents of the wife.
.
.
Next day.
In accordance with his plan, Rendy immediately cleaned up his work as soon as possible, he asked Andriana to finish her unfinished work.
This time he did not take Andriana with him, he thought it was not time for Andriana to find out about other secrets of her mother's family. Luckily Andriana understood and let Rendy go with her brothers.
"I'll drop off the office, well, if there's a problem, call me!" said Rendy.
After giving up his job, Rendy said he wanted to go out, he did not know whether to go back to the office or not, if it was late afternoon he had not returned, he asked Andriana to go home first.
While in Ericka's office, the atmosphere and busyness are also not much different. He also rushed from his office to their appointment last night.
If Reva has been picked up by Nico since then, they have even arrived before the appointment time.
"Isn't it okay we came first?" ask Nico nice of him too.
"Just shut up, just follow my advice!" reva cuek.
It's nothing, because eleven o'clock in the afternoon they were at the restaurant, still an hour away from meeting, while Nico began to fidget, he did not feel at home sitting there for long unless there was work.
"Calm down, now it's half twelve more, soon Ericka and Rendy arrive." said Reva casually.
Another reason he chose to come first is so that he could eat first, he was afraid that later he would meet even busy discussing or telling stories about their problems, until lunch was missed.
When pregnant, it is natural that women eat more, so she greedily eats there with leisure, enjoys every bite, no matter the husband is bored grumbling.
"Prophey yes, sir.. Have a wife who is pregnant and more - a lot of eating, calm all the food also flows to your child" said Reva chuckled to see the husband saw it strange to eat so much.
Suddenly Nico's eyes were distracted by someone walking towards this restaurant, a man with a girl, they looked so friendly.
"Reva, down!" he said as he grabbed the wife's head to come down with him.
"Nico, what the hell? It hurts, if I'm in trouble how?!" reva was upset.
"Shut up, Reva. Nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here, just shut up and obedient." she half-whispered.
And sure enough, the person they wanted to hire last night was here. Arlon hugged Rania towards the seat at the restaurant.
Nico gave orders to his men who were on guard outside to ask the manager of the restaurant not to accept Arlon and Rania at the restaurant.
Of course Nico can do that, because the restaurant belongs to one of his business partners and friends, namely William, so it is not surprising if Arlon comes to eat for free there. They always make fun of William, but almost every day for a free meal at his restaurant, sickening!
"Sorry, Sir. As per Mr. William's instructions not to accept and serve you again to eat here, unless you can pay all the bills you left behind so far" said the restaurant manager still polite.
Of course it makes Arlon and Rania embarrassed, especially they are being observed by some visitors there.
"It's so arrogant of him! Just got a small restaurant and it doesn't feel like it's bad for me, don't think I can't pay yah!" yelled Arlon not accept humiliation.
Eventually he left, they thought he had gone to take the money to pay his debt, but it turned out that he had not returned either until this very moment.
"Felt! Tell me it's a small restaurant and it doesn't taste good, but every day you eat here. Where proud that has again, turn there are people insulted mulu, it is called hypocrites!
Amit-amit, don't let you kayak that's it baby, have to get along with his brother, don't stingy and eat bone brother, remember it's baby's?!" said Nico while rubbing Reva's stomach.
