LOVE & VENGEANCE

Important Thing!

“Loh Father here?”

The man snorted as Aretha called him with the call of Father.

“Don't call me Father, Tha. I'm still young and I'm not your father either,” refused the Man.

Aretha chuckled while lowering some paper bag groceries. Toby approaches and helps before the man pulls the chair for Aretha to sit down and joins her.

“Call Darren alone let it be nice to chat.”

“OK!” answer Aretha briefly.

Toby gave the menu book to Aretha. “Pesen lunch first, Tha. We ordered first.”

Aretha gave a nod and opened the menu book.

“So you two know each other?” toby asked, looking at the two people in front of him.

Both of them nodded, surely familiar. “Who does not know the beautiful woman in his party Mr Lukman.

“Even this woman will almost be mine if not my brother first who narik him,” said Darren.

“She's my client is also in the office.”

Toby's eyebrows shot up at Darren. “Lo is better than Xandra?”

Knowing Aretha worked at XS-Empire, of course Toby also knew with Ceo who was none other than the younger brother of Anshell and adopted sister Darren, unfortunately the relationship between the two did not get along.

The man pulled the corner of his lips to the side.

“Since when do you use the services of Xandra company, instead of you both have been like a cat and mouse if you meet?” toby looks at his best friend.

Darren hela breathed slowly. “If it is not Aretha who comes to the office, I will not use the services of arch-enemy,” said Darren, sitting casually still looking at the beautiful face of Aretha.

“So Father, Uh. You always refuse and do not want to use our office services because that is the problem.”

Darren nodded, that was indeed true. Aretha who was sitting opposite Darren also snorted.

“Personal issues are brought in anyway. You are not professional know,”.

“He was like that, Tha. Not professional.”

Aretha nodded softly, Darren as well as Anshell it makes no difference. “That's not a problem to be discussed. It's stale!”

The man did not want to discuss the problem with Xandra, he took the coffee in front and took a sip.

“In fact I want to ask, you met Aretha and it's been the same long time he why not tell me. All this time I was looking for him.”

“Lo where there is contact me. You're super busy managing your bokap company. I also do not know you will find Aretha,” replied Toby ketus.

“Oh, yes. There is an important thing what the hell By, until ngedadak gini ngajak meetnya.”

Aretha tried to divert the conversation of the two men, honestly she was still curious about what Toby wanted to convey.

 “Well, I forgot. I want to let you know the search about Uncle Dany who was Beby asking me at the time.”

Aretha's eyes were shocked. “When Bebby asks?”

“You don't know?”

Aretha shook her head not knowing, as she remembered Bebby only asked for a photo of his uncle dany and also his aunt.

 Aretha did not know that Bebby had so far asked the handsome bule man.

“Two weeks ago if not mistaken.”

Aretha shifted her seat to get closer to Toby. “Terus. Has uncle Dany been found? I want to meet him, By.”

Toby was silent for a moment, look at Aretha. He knew that the girl was hoping to meet her uncle, the man who had made her like this in pursuit of her debt and threatened to be his fifteenth wife.

“By, tell me. Uncle Dany has met, right?”

The man did not directly answer Aretha's question, but took a slow breath before explaining to Aretha.

“Uncle Dany managed to escape from my people.”

Aretha's eyeballs were glaring. “He's one of the top villains in this city too. Uncle Dany ex-con, Tha.”

Aretha smothered her own mouth with her eyes whizzing. “She has done a lot of crime here.”

“Looks like you need help Andreas, By. He ganster capital city certainly to catch one person for him is easy,” advice Darren who is called Aretha.

He remembered about Andreas Lukman one of the dangerous gangsters in this city.

“Later to contact him.”

Aretha looked at Toby in silence thinking, all this time she and Grandma did not know how the fate of uncle dany who worked in the city. His uncle was a criminal.

“I found Aunt Nella the wife of your Uncle.”

Aretha blinked her eyes slowly, the girl gasped from her daydream. “Bi Nella?”

“Yes. You know him, right?”

“Of course I know him. Where is he now, By. I want to meet my Aunt.”

“I'll take you to meet Bi Nella, but you have to have lunch first after that I'll drop you off where Bi Nella is.”

Aretha agreed, she had to eat a lot before going to the place where Bi Nella was.

“Yes God, Bi Nella.”.

Aretha stared sadly at the situation of the twilight woman.

Aretha was about to open the door, but Darren immediately pulled Aretha's hand so that the village girl did not come into contact with Bi Nella, even though the two men knew that Aretha missed her aunt.

“Do not approach, Aretha is enough there,” said Bi Nella, weak.

Aretha broke into tears staring at Bi Nella. As she remembered, Bi Nella's face was very beautiful, smooth-skinned even though she had come to the village to bring a small child.

 However, after fifteen years of not meeting Bi Nella looks very old.

“This is an isolation room, Aretha. No one can enter anything else hug him,” said Tobby, looking at the sign in front of the room.

“Why is Aunt like this, Bi?”

The old lady was crying in there. “Maybe it's Auntie's way, son.”.

“What pain do I get, By?”

The man looked at the village girl who seemed to be hit with the condition of Nella. “

“Later I'll tell you,” Toby whispered in Aretha's ear.

“Speak first, Darren and I meet the doctor first,”, said Toby, who is called Aretha.

The two talked warmly with the distance of the two women quite far.

However, it did not reduce Aretha's longing for Bi Nella as well as the twilight woman.

Bi Nella, is notoriously friendly and also kind.

 “That's well yeah, Nak.”

 Bi Nella asked Aretha to save something that the twilight woman had said that this item was a very valuable item.

“I'll take care of it.”

Bi Nella mangosteen believe. “Don't move into the hands of your uncle,” he said again.

Aretha Pandangi was confused, staring at a diamond ring.

“Aibi misses Agita, Nak,” she said softly while staring at the ceiling of her room.

“Let's Aretha ask Agita to come here with Grandma. Aunty want to meet Grandma?”

Bi Nella's tears broke, Aretha who saw being outside also wanted to wipe away the tears.

“Aibi. Aunty wants to apologize to Grandma, Aunty much wrong.”

The twilight woman took a breath for a moment.

“But, is your sister willing to admit this sickly old woman is her own mother?”

“His biological mother?”

“Agita's a good boy, surely she wants to accept Auntie. Isn't it time that Agita knew who her own birth mother was and who her father was?”

Nella nodded weakly. The twilight woman took a deep breath that was painful. Sicker than the disease that gnawed at his body.

As long as she gave birth to two daughters, there was none that the woman took care of by giving love like a mother out there.

“When God, take my breath out. I want to meet my kids first. Aunty would love to meet Dessy, my little daughter whom your uncle sold to the rich.

 The twilight woman looked to the side and looked at Aretha

. “Do Aunties have a photo?”

The twilight woman took a deep breath with a squeak on her forehead.

“All about Desy is in the diary Bibi.”

The sister approached and asked her to get a journal book when she had written all the important things there.

The sister gave the red book to Aretha.

 “Aibi won't burden you Aretha. Auntie knew it might be hard to find Dessy because it had been so long ago. Twenty years ago.”

“Aunti does not want to bother your family anymore, Auntie does not know how to return the kindness of Nek Lastri, your mother and also you who have helped keep Agita.”

“Don't give up Bi, Aretha will try to find Dessy. Aunty needs to be healthy again in order to be able to get together with the kids, Bibi.”

Nella gives Aretha a smile as a sign of gratitude.

“What do you read?”

 Toby turned to the side where he had been since returning from the hospital Aretha was busy reading the red book.

“Daily book Bi Nella. She asked me to meet Agita and also one of her daughters who was sold by uncle Dany.”

Aretha gave Toby a black and white photo, maybe it was Dessy Bi Nella's first daughter who was told about it.

“Cock his face familiar yes,” Toby said slowly.

“I feel like I've seen this little girl. But where is..”.

“By me see.” Darren was also curious about the small photo.

Given the black photo to Darren, the handsome face turned to look at him sharply.

“You know that little girl, Ren?”

Darren looks at Toby for a moment and turns to the same Aretha waiting for an answer.

“Yes, I know him. This girl is...”.
