Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 28

“Why don't you tell me if you still have a grandfather and grandfather lo again critical and now dead?” Erlita started crying because she was sad and disappointed.

“It happened so fast,Ta. I also misunderstood because I thought you were deliberately going to leave me. So I dare not bother you for my personal affairs like this.”

“Personal?! Your grandfather's business, your only family, got sick and died you said personal business? So you know what I am?”

“I'm sorry, Ta. I was wrong. I promise I will take you to the tomb of Eyang so you can get acquainted.”

Erlita realizes that Nafan is as sad and down with her. The man had just lost the only family member he had. Erlita stopped crying and getting angry.

He then nodded, “Gue will be beautiful and wear the best clothes that day.”

Nafan tried to laugh while hugging the girl he loved so much.

Because the condition of his grandmother's heart and blood sugar is not too good, Erlita became diligent in studying and preparing healthy and nutritious diet foods to help her grandmother's recovery.

Every morning, Erlita took her grandmother for a leisurely walk in the yard and streets around Nafan's official house. Then occasionally Erlita also invited her grandmother to garden in the small garden Nafan located next to the house.

Pratiwi was happy to live there, especially knowing that his two grandchildren could get along and love each other.

“Ta, you know what nothing less than your home?” pratiwi asked one night when the three of them had dinner together.

“What's That? Does anything make Eyang feel uncomfortable?” asked Erlita plain

“Child.”

Erlita and Nafan choked together.

“You've been married for a long time and have been this choking together, then why are you delaying having children?”

“Yang, we haven't even been married three years. It's still new, so there's no need to rush to have children. Ribet!”

“Jihan already had a child even before they were married nine months.”

“Oh yes Yang, by the way about Kak Jihan, how's it going now? Lita has contacted him many times but can't. Lita contact Eyang also can not.”

“It looks like Bram accidentally blocked your number from all family members.”

“But why, Yang? What's wrong Lita?”

“He's afraid of you Ta.”

“Fear?”

Pratiwi nodded, “She is afraid you took what she thinks is already hers.”

“Oh yes, Yang. Speaking of Om Bram, the day before we came back here, Lita had to go to jail for nengokin Pak Bin. And Mr. Bin tells the same story Lita. But Lita was confused, Yang. Which one should Lita trust.”

Pratiwi finished his dinner, then told him the truth.

“A few days after you left, Eyang asked Eyang's confidants to uncover the corruption and money laundering scandal that Eyang knew long ago was done by Bram. Eyang asked you to leave so you wouldn't get dragged into that case. They have planned everything carefully. You missed only one thing, Bintoro. Since you are not there, it is Bintorolah that they make scapegoats. After the investigation, they manipulated witnesses and evidence to incriminate the charges against Bintoro. Eyang was shocked to hear that Bintorolah was finally detained to account for mistakes that he did not make at all. At that time, Eyang could not do much because of the deteriorating health condition of Eyang and Bintoro who always helped Eyang already languished in prison. To atone for Eyang's guilt in case, Eyang secretly put Rani, Bintoro's eldest daughter into the company.”

“Ta, you will only be able to investigate this case if you enter the company. Many people suffer from Bram and not a few losses that must be borne by the company because of Bram. You are Eyang's only hope to clean up and continue the company that Eyang Kakung and your daughter raised.”

“But Yang, after all, Om Bram is the son of Eyang, the successor and heir of the company Eyang.”

“Bram is not Eyang's biological son, Ta. He's your grandfather's bastard son with a maid in our house.”

“What?! Then why would Eyang want to take care of Om Bram so far?”

“Because it's the only way to cover our family's disgrace and also save you from the greed of Bram.”

“Meanings?”

“Bram knows that he is just an illegitimate child who has no rights to Susbihardayan's wealth. Therefore, he was determined to get your father killed in that fire.” Pratiwi began to shed her tears. “Because he knows that your father will be the sole heir of Susbihardayan Group.”

“What?! So it was Om Bram who killed dad?”

“Eyang has investigated and tried to bring Bram to court. But Bram threatened to harm you if Eyang did that.”

“Why Om Bram can spare it, Which?” erlita could barely believe what she heard.

“Sorry, The. But if it's true that Om Bram can go that far, isn't it very dangerous for Erlita to get into that Company?”

Pratiwi. “True, that's why Eyang wants you to always keep and protect Erlita. No matter what the circumstances are, Eyang is sure only you can help Eyang.”

“But why Nafan, Which? Why is Eyang so sure that Nafan can take care of Lita?” Erlita again asked her old unanswered questions.

“Because Breath of a good and responsible youth and because he is the chosen youth of your mother.”

“What does Eyang mean?”

“Ta, I'm sorry about you. But your mother died saving me.” Nafan finally told the secret he had been trying to keep from Erlita.

Erlita was shocked and could not believe what she had just heard. “So Eyang has also known about this for a long time? And accidentally marry Lita the same person who has caused mother to die?”

“Lita, it's not Nafan's fault. It was an accident.”

Erlita had already entered her room without even listening to any more explanations. He felt angry, disappointed and hurt because he was lied to and played with. How could he possibly live happily with the person who had taken his mother from him.

Erlita recalled the moment she heard the news that her mother had fallen into the river and had not been found until now. He did not even know where to go to his mother's grave when longed and lonely.

It wasn't easy for him to go through his days as an orphan when he was only six years old, when he desperately needed the presence of his parents.

“Ta, please open the door, we can talk about this carefully.”

Erlita did not touch Nafan who kept talking to her from behind the door.

Brakes.

Suddenly Pratiwi fainted and fell from the chair.

“Ta, Eyang Ta!”
