Khanza and Gracio

24. Edgar Wirayudha

Morning at Artawijaya's private residence.

Cia squirms on the bed. He raised both his hands upwards stretching out his stiff muscles and joints due to a long sleep.

Cia regained consciousness after recalling this time being in Rafa and Ara's room. He saw his left side empty. Daddy and Antenya were no longer by his side. Of course there is no, because after dawn the two couples who have been considered papa and his mother will prepare to work.

Last night, after arriving from Bali, Cia went straight to her Daddy's room after changing into a nightclothes. Wake up the two couples who are resting and sound asleep after a day of activity with a lot of work. Cia went straight to the bed and slept in the middle of them. Hugged Daddy and Antenya. Things Cia often does, so Rafa and Ara are not surprised anymore. Because this is not the first time for him to sleep in bed with Rafa and Ara at this age. Daddy and his aunt were not bothered in the least.

Bad events in Bali that Boby did still scare him. He was afraid of sleeping alone, as the shadow of the man's treatment danced in his eyes. But he did not want to share his sorrow and fear for not wanting to bother and worry Rafa and Ara.

Cia got out of bed, seeing that it was 8 in the morning. Cia immediately came out of the room to look for her Daddy.

"Where's daddy?" ask the waiter.

"Master is in the den."

"Ante?"

"Mrs Ara is in the kitchen preparing something! Is Miss going to have breakfast?"

"Yet. I'd like to see Daddy first." Cia's headed to Rafa's office. He's knocking. Then get in. His gaze immediately turned to Rafa who was sitting in his chair.

"Daddy....!" call her slowly, her typical spoiled voice. He walked over, sat directly on Rafa's lap, peeked at Rafa's forehead and cheeks, then hugged his Daddy spoiled.

"Away awake?" Rafa landed a kiss on his forehead. Gently brush this daughter's hair. Rafa was a little surprised. Not because Cia was sitting on her lap, but right now she was not alone in this room. And Cia doesn't realize there's anyone else in this room besides her Daddy.

"Why doesn't Daddy wake up Cia praying at dawn?" Cia looked at his Daddy's face. A face that was still very handsome did not wrinkle despite being almost half a century old.

While from the sofa a pair of eyes looked at Cia without turning away with a face adorned with a smile.

"Cia's no longer an obstacle?"

"Udah was finished yesterday afternoon. Cia started Isya last night."

"Ohh, Daddy and ante don't know. Pray for Dhuha for a moment...!"

Cia nodded.

"Cia take a shower first, keep on breakfast. Don't eat late to get a stomach ulcer. Once it's ready ready we'll go to the main house as usual!"

"Good Daddy!" Cia immediately descended from Rafa's lap. He already knew their purpose to the main house every Friday.

Cia was shocked when she turned around. I saw a man sitting on the couch.

Turns out his dad has a guest, and he doesn't know? Cia misbehaving.

"Daddy has guests?" look at Rafa.

Rafa nodded with a smile.

"Dear on, Daddy's got a guest!"

"Yes my. Cia really doesn't know! Sorry Daddy!" Cia looked again at the guest and immediately gave a smile to say hello. The male guest smiled at him. Cia saw the man was young, had a handsome face that was charismatic. With formal suit. Maybe this guy's a business friend of Daddy's, he thought.

A few seconds passed, Cia nodded. He remembered this face. Last night's face had helped him when he almost fell into the pool.

She was nervous and getting more wrong. How come he's here? Who her? What's Daddy's coworker? Why is he here? Or is he Daddy's man and telling you about last night's incident? Questions in Cia's head.

"This is my nephew. But it's like a real princess herself. Cia's name!" said Rafa saw his guest watching Cia. The guest immediately got up from his seat to greet Cia.

"Darling, this is Mr. Edgar Wirayudha" Rafa told a nervous looking Cia.

"I yes Daddy..... Excuse me first!" leaving Edgar who was giving his right hand to shake with him.

But he suddenly turned around when he remembered something. Don't don't let this guy tell Daddy last night? his inner.

Cia walked up to Edgar, then took the man's right hand.

"Sir, please don't know Daddy last night? I beg!" the door by welding. Then he immediately went hunting.

Edgar was back in shock. So did Rafa who saw the strange daughter.

"I'm sorry for my daughter Mr. Edgar's attitude."

"Ah, it's okay, Mr. Ravendro......!" edgar said hurriedly, immediately commenting on the smile.

"Cia's son is like that, he's so spoiled! But his son is kind and polite!" rafa said smiling again.

Edgar's smile widened.

"I saw that. And naturally girls have a spoiled nature, because of the attention and affection of parents" said Edgar again looking at the door that no Cia was there.

"We meet again sweet lady.It turns out you're a very spoiled girl.God reunited us. And I didn't expect you to live in this magnificent palace and be the daughter of a humble successful ruler!" edgar murmured. She really hopes to see Cia again. Didn't expect to even meet here. The night after she found Cia's whereabouts, but said the security guard and the entrance, Cia had already left the hotel. Disappointed that Edgar felt because he wanted to know the girl. Through his private secretary, he told me to find out about Cia.

And after the wedding was over, Edgar flew straight to this town to do something very important. Want to meet two humans who were very good to him in the past. Who has changed his status that was once low and very poor, is now a successful person, and has everything.

Do you remember Edgar?

Edgar Wirayudha is a child peddler for various snacks and food on the coast of Kuta bali. The son of a low caste who offers his wares to every visitor of Kuta beach, including Raka and Ara. Then he was given by Raka and Ara a million dollars. Well, the money was used Edgar as best as possible by opening a small business. From his passion and persistence never give up, make him successful and become a great entrepreneur with only a million capital given by Raka and Ara.

He came here to thank Raka and Ara at once. Remembering first Ara had asked him to come to their residence.

After several days of searching for information about Raka and Ara, he finally found their address. But it was unexpected that Raka had died a dozen years ago as Rafa and Ara said when he expressed the intention of his arrival. Ara herself was shocked after remembering Edgar.

Edgar asks Rafa and Ara for permission to make a pilgrimage to Raka's tomb. They were talking about it now, and Edgar met Cia in sleeping pajamas with a tangled face typical of waking people.

The day today is Friday. The day on which the Artawijaya family always visited the tombs of the great masters Artawijaya, Revan, Raka, and Maya to send prayers directly at the resting place of the deceased/eternal deceased.

The main house became the residence of Nesa. He lived alone in the mansion with the servants. Nesa chose not to remarry because of her love for her late husband. She rejects the proposal of several men who want to marry her including Frans Setiawan, Rafa's financial director who has now become a successful person, has his own company with the help of Rafa. Frans has become a widower after 6 years ago in a dead stay by his wife. But Nesa also rejected him after being repeatedly applied.

Nesa felt not lonely in her life, because she was busy with a lot of work. Sometimes the three sons Rafa and Ara stay at the place to accompany their aunt. So did Cia and Rara. The five children had their own rooms in the mansion if they came to visit.

Rafa and Ara take Edgar to Raka's grave. Cia is coming too. Cia did not know and was confused as to why Edgar visited their family tomb. On the way, Cia chose not to ask questions and was more fun with Rafa and Ara as was his habit since childhood. And Edgar just smiled a meaningful smile looking silently.

"It's really very spoiled!" inner Edgar.

Nesa was already waiting for their arrival and was acquainted for a moment before the pilgrimage to the tomb. In the family cemetery there are already some fresh flowers. Nesa said Rafa Ara's three sons had arrived this morning. Cio and Rara also send flower packages between Cio's confidants. And by phone they both sent prayers from Europe.

Edgar was impressed with the family togetherness. Although busy with many work activities, still prioritize family and worship. Families who respect, respect, care and love each other.

After the pilgrimage to the tomb of the Artawijaya family, Edgar still had a little chat with Rafa, Ara and Nesa. Eventually Edgar knew the whole thing about Cia as well as his persona. It was only fitting that the girl was so spoiled for Rafa and Ara. Because since childhood did not feel the love and affection of a father.

Although spoiled but good kind and polite in his judgment. His worship is also good as he heard earlier in the workspace when not awakened dawn prayer.

Edgar still took the time to see the big house. Photos of Cia and her twin as adorable cute little girls, photos of teenagers and this big.

Edgar remembered Cia's request in the workspace earlier. Who asked not to tell Rafa last night. Wh why?

Cia should have told her parents.

Edgar himself saw what Boby was doing to Cia as he stepped inside. Again he sees Boby harassing Cia.

He was told by his personal secretary, about the identity of Boby who is the son of a business relationship friend. He was also told about Cia and Boby's relationship. Who used to be in a relationship as a couple until finally Cia decided and left Boby unilaterally.
