Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 53

Actually Erlita was very sad with the state of her extended family who were scattered because of the inheritance left by her grandmother.

“Fan, what do you think I should share the legacy of Eyang so that my family does not fight again?”

“Do not be silly! Leaving everything to you is not without reason and consideration. Just look, the shophouse that Jihan managed had already transferred ownership to someone else. Kenny's abandoned property is not taken care of at all. Though the place that Eyang choose for them is the best and potential locations. Do you think your hotel and mall will be able to last long if it falls into their hands?”

“But Fan. I don't need any of that! I want my extended family back intact and well-rounded like it used to be!”

“Ta, it's all destiny travel. We cannot impose our scenario. It is not our fault that Om Pras and Aunt Sania are finally divorced. It is not our fault that Jihan had to move abroad and was deprived of all her privileges by Eyang. So do not torture yourself for the consequences of their own actions!”

Erlita understood very well the meaning of the word Nafan. But after all it happened because they were jealous of the privilege that Eyang gave him. If only Eyang treated them all the same, perhaps Erlita would not have had to witness all the chaos back then.

“Lita listen! The best thing you can do right now is to make sure that Susbihardayan Group is able to survive and develop well. So that all the sacrifices of Eyang and your parents are not in vain.”

The first Sunday after the wedding of Johan and Sisil arrived. Erlita prepared all the banquets for breakfast with all her extended family. He hopes everyone will be able to attend, even though it may feel awkward and difficult for the first time.

Not wanting all the preparations to go to waste, the night before Erlita had called all her family to not forget to attend breakfast together at the mother house the next morning. Some expressed enthusiasm, but some looked cold and not interested at all.

But Erlita still did not want to give up. He wanted to prepare the best for the first week. He asked all the housemaids to help him clean the house and prepare a variety of special family favorite dishes.

That morning, Johan and Sisil came in early to help Erlita prepare everything. Despite the newlywed couple arriving, Erlita still feels grateful for not having to have breakfast alone with Nafan.

Shortly after, Sania arrives followed by Kenny and Rania. Erlita becomes more excited when Farah turns out to also be present and breakfast with her as well.

Erlita tried to contact Jihan. He hoped that his cousin would meet and reunite with him and the rest of the family. But in vain because Jihan had absolutely no intention to pick up a phone call from Erlita.

“Yeah, because the breakfast time is almost over and Kak Jihan also can not be contacted, we start only breakfast.” Erlita said trying to cover up her disappointment.

Just as they were about to start breakfast awkwardly, Jihan suddenly came with Dean and Nasya. Even more surprising, Bram came in behind Jihan.

Everyone was aghast to see who had just entered the house and walked towards the dining table.

Jihan hugged Erlita who was still standing due to being surprised by the presence of Bram.

“Thanks ya Ta, have made a pretty festive welcome event for Papa.” Jihan commented a smile full of lips.

“Why? Is it possible that Papa has been removed from the Susbihardayan family tree as well?” Syndicated Jihan again.

Jihan then dragged an empty chair beside her mother and invited her father to sit down. He took a seat next to Dean.

Erlita soon gained control. He then rushed to the kitchen to pick up utensils for his uncle who had just come out of the prison. He himself then placed and arranged Bram's cutlery on his desk.

“Welcome back, Om. Eat a lot of yah? Om looks curusan.” Erlita returned a smile to Jihan.

“Well, since all the family members are already gathered, let's start the breakfast!” invite Erlita to melt the awkwardness among everyone.

Sania is not her name if not slippery and likes to talk.

“so Bram, how many guarantees does Jihan have to pay in order to get you out of jail?”

“Why, Brother? Does that bother you so much?”

“I'm a little sorry for not being able to come to jail. If only Jihan had told me earlier, I would have gone to jail to welcome your return.”

“It doesn't need to be that good! You just make me feel overwhelmed. However, it would be better if you focus on finding a new husband to accompany you shopping. In order not only to avoid every meeting Pras with his new wife.”

“Who cares about Pras? I don't need a shopping friend either. There are already too many mall servants who want to serve me for free and happy.”

“You're still pathetic at this age, brother. If only you were a little smarter, maybe you wouldn't have ended up as a lonely woman who had nothing like now.”

“If only you could be better at looking after your wife, maybe I wouldn't have to be this bad. Isn't that right, Farah?”

Bram stomped his spoon rough onto the table.
