LOVE SONGS OF LOLOBATA

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Grandma came out of her room pushed bi Siti. Had crossed paths with Gufron but did not reprimand each other. I was confused what was going on with my father's family. Why there is no warmth in their relationship. I think in any custom it's appropriate for a granddaughter to respect her grandmother. While Gufron immediately went up the stairs without saying a word when he passed the grandmother.

Grandma greeted me and Bray with a sweet smile as if nothing had bothered Gufron just now. The question arises in my mind, what kind of events like this are common in this house.

Bray approached Grandma, stroked and kissed the back of her hand. Grandma rubbed her back gently.

"I'm Firdaus Sanjaya, Grandma. Fifa's friend."

"Said Fifa just wanted to meet her boss at the store."

"Not the boss, Grandma. But friends. We are bound by a cooperation contract, not an employee employment contract." Bray explained with a polite style of speech.

In my heart I grumbled. The contract is indeed the title of cooperation, but since the planning to date he is all in control. Same with my boyfriends.

Grandma nodded happily at that answer. Grandma's expectations of me are getting higher. Though I was still a child in the interior who was less social and had to learn a lot. All this time I was just a puppet doing activities according to the work plan that has been set. It's more of a lack of Jim and Bray organizing and giving alternative advice, not an idea that pops out of my own head.

"Thank you for being Fifa's friend. Please help take care of him. This fifa is the eldest granddaughter of the grandmother who just emerged from the hiding place. His father had long since gone without news. As soon as I heard the news it seems to have become land."

Bray dressingan rubbed the back of the grandmother who returned sad when remembering her son.

"Grandmother cannot accompany you for long. Grandma's happy that Fifa's got a lot of friends. Please continue the conversation. Grandma's going to rest. Just took the medicine. Head so heavy." Granny complained with a thin smile

Of course we understand. For people the age of grandmothers with old body conditions do need more rest even though they may not be able to really sleep. Bray with his own initiative helped deliver grandma to the front door of his room. She seems to have empathy and is more considerate than Gufron, her own biological granddaughter.

I'm interested in talking about Gufron. But later if the situation is more comfortable and conducive. Bray must know more about Gufron, whose attitude is both indifferent and mysterious. There must be 'something' going on in this house until the atmosphere is cold and unfriendly.

"I want to be honest about something. I think than you know from others I better explain myself. Let's not be misunderstood in the future."

"About what?" I asked while cleaning the coffee cup and light confectionary jar that my grandmother's housekeeper brought for us.

I let Bray enjoy the treats that the assistant's aunt had provided that I didn't know her name yet. There are a lot of people working in this house. I just got to know 3 loyal assistants who took turns caring for grandma and cleaning the first floor room.

"I want to talk about Aga."

"Why with Aga? Do I have to release Aga as per the initial agreement?" I'm a little loud.

Frankly I still find it hard to part from that one confiding friend. I feel one heart. Only 3 days in Makassar, I've missed Aga. Dangerous babbling and his behavior.

Bray had a little doubt. He heard her long breath. The man was quite careful facing me who was not in his adoring position anymore. I can be tough on maintaining my ego. He could read the book.

"Doctor Hans hasn't told you anything about Aga?"

"No. I never even knew about Aga. Doctor Hans has never been to my house."

Bray relaxes his breath.

I don't know what the purpose of this is.

"I've been through a lot after hearing some of your stories from Arfa. I'm sorry about the policy of moving all villagers out of our concession area."

Why did he discuss the wound again. I almost forgot.

"I'm sorry too, Fifa. That's why I'm trying to figure out a way to keep you from getting too late in grief. I know you did it all out of love for your father and your homeland. I happen to have an animal conservation program endemic to the Lolobata forest that turns out to be more dominant than the bird species. Between the program and your love turns out to be a match." Bray smiles at his own smile. Perhaps what he was thinking was a little miss from what came out of his mouth. I don't give a shit.

I took my salary from the bag and showed it, "This is also Bray's idea?"

Bray nodded.

I was breathing a little rough. Being deceived by the flat object that now dominates most of my life. Want to be slammed, already dear. How's dong? Cook for the sake of ego I have to lose something that has contributed recently to giving me a lot of knowledge and connecting me with more friends and relatives.

If it's about the concept of aviary and conservation foundation, I've guessed Bray's idea. There is no way Arfa or Hisham has an idea related to the management of corporate social responsibility programs. Both of them do not occupy strategic positions in the management of the company. Especially when viewed in terms of funding. Only a person of Bray's level can afford to finance the idea without thinking. He must have felt guilty about the parrot and was trying to make amends.

"You're not angry, are you?"

"angry? What is angry for? I'm just thanking you. It's part of the life learning process. If not dealing with the idea of bird conservation, where might I meet Andi Syarif's brother who finally brought me to the baba family here." I finally found a wise answer. However, Bray's efforts have changed my life to be more meaningful and valuable to other beings. I no longer fall into endless sadness.

Bray smiled with relief.

"Are you happy to meet your father's family?"

That question is hard to answer. The meeting certainly brings happiness. But I didn't expect this to be the situation of the baba family. I was shocked to suddenly be in charge of managing the gifts and inheritance of the baba family. It's so heavy. What's more I see not all family members like my presence. Moreover, supporting the decision of the grandmother about the handover of the treasure. I don't know why I feel like my safety is being threatened by my own family.

"Did Bray know in advance who my father's family was?"

Not answering. I asked Bray. Perhaps this was part of his conspiracy. He knew Gufron first. It's not impossible for him to spy on me to such a deep extent. Anything can be done if you have money and power.

"My father has known your late grandfather for a long time. He worked at the Soroaka nickel mine. If Gufron only knew at first glance. I did not expect that you are part of a family of business people who have several companies that operate on a national scale. I'm sorry to tell you the truth, your condition and Gufron's very different."

Bray's right. We are a part of the family that has been wasted. If I can choose, I better not sign what my grandmother wants in the notary's office. Uncle clearly raised an objection. His family would think the same. I'm afraid this will backfire on my life. I don't want to fuss over treasure. Especially with your own brother.

The question is who can resist the decision of the grandmother? He is the most respected in this family. Uncle was helpless. Grandma with her vulnerable body dared to carry out a decision that she thought was fair to all her grandchildren. At least grandma has fought for our rights. It is not natural for me to refuse for reasons that are still anxiety in mind. Fear is so scared. All of that was just a conjecture that had arisen in my mind due to uncle's disapproval and the cold attitude of his family. There's no real evidence yet that they're hostile to me. I am a coward.

The pick-up car arrives moments after Bray writes a message and sends the location to his bodyguard. Bray returns to the hotel after being satisfied to convey something that might have stuck his heart all this time. But he still insists on not being guilty of the murder of the parrot. Tonight he's just revealing his services to turn me into more open to the changing times. He wants to be considered a hero in my life.

"Greet your grandmother and uncle. Don't forget to wait for me! I'm fighting for us." he said softly right behind my ear.

Ah, dreadlocks. I can't believe it. Bray struggles for his own ambitions. It just so happens that this conservation business involves me who is 'prince of the region' and I like to plunge in it. He just took advantage of my love for wild birds and the feel of the jungle environment. In business there is always a return. Nothing is truly sincere. The main motivation is money, money and money.
