Have you ever asked why it is so rare or even never to hear a cry from a Father . No other because you want to look strong in front of your family .
A Father wants his wife and children to take refuge in his hands and chest without ever doubting it . He wants to give his family a sense of security when they feel threatened .
It should be like that, but not for Risa .
Everything that others say about the Father is inversely proportional to the statement that the Father shows .
Through her father figure, Risa sees how the world works which is really unfair .
Risa wants to avenge the deeds of those who have deprived her of her rights arbitrarily.
And it feels like the way to reply is open at this moment .
“ It's about Ortiva Construction ,” Gio's speech paused , He realized the look on the girl's face changed .
“ I'll help you guys destroy it ,” bargain Gio .
Instantly the atmosphere became silent . Risa, Esme, and Amora looked at each other.
" What do you mean ? It seems you were wrong to give us the offer, "Amora replied evasively .
Amora's hand clasped Risa's hand, She knows how Risa's trauma to her father . Moreover, some time ago he heard the news if the man came to Risa and threatened her .
Gio laughed, He took the file given by Albert and put it on the table .
" It's Brisa Elzavira, stop pretending . I have all the evidence and data if you're the girl . " she said .
" The girl who 10 years ago suddenly disappeared from the hospital while being treated ."
" Honestly Risa, please, I have no evil intentions towards you . " Pinta Gio turned soft .
Echa who had been just a listener, now looks interested in our discussion .
" Yes right, I'm Brisa Elzavira . And I'm not pretending to be anyone else Gio . Brisa is a weak girl, who can't do anything when she sees her real mother being murdered right in front of her . " Say Risa lantang .
" Brisa Elzavira is dead Gio . He was already dead when he chose suicide as a way out to end all his suffering ." he continued .
Even now Risa has started sobbing.
" How far have you found out about me, Gio ? " ask Risa .
" All about Brisa and everything your family did to Brisa . " Answer Gio honestly .
There was a little relief in Risa's heart, when there was no Rani's name mentioned by Gio .
" I'm sorry Risa, I didn't mean to open your old wounds . But please take a look at this first Risa, "pinta Gio .
This time the moving Esme retrieved the file that Gio gave her . He turned back all the files one by one .
" We already know the evil of the devil, except regarding the accident of this project in Kalimantan . " Say Esme .
" Imagine how many future girls from your area he's damaged . And that infuriated me, because he dared to use my company to take advantage of workers who were victims of work accidents . " Say Gio .
Albert stared in amazement at the tomboyish figure before him, Esme . His style is relaxed, but when serious he is fascinating .
Gio realized the doubt in Risa . He understood that after all, the person who would be their target was his biological father.
" Risa, listen to me, don't think if we're going to reply then we're no different from them" Gio said guessing what made Risa hesitate .
" We are different . We do not avenge him Risa, but make him responsible for what he has done . " Clearly Gio .
" I could have easily avenged that old man, even if I wanted to right now I could have sent him directly to meet the demons in hell . "
" But I think of you Risa. That's what I'm asking you to do the same - the same, we help your father atone for all his sins . This is one way you thank him because thanks to him you can be in this world . " Say Gio .
Risa stared at Amora and Esme .
" Actually appa and eomma we've wanted to take over all this for a long time, but Risa always refused" said Amora.
" I think everything Gio said is true, maybe at this time you should focus more on this first Risa" he continued .
Risa turned to look at Esme and the woman also nodded .
Gio smiled with satisfaction .
" That means we agreed to this ? " tanya Gio reached out his hand to shake hands .
" Basic entrepreneur, you think it's a business deal . " Reply Risa while laughing .
" Can I have an opinion ? " ask Echa.
All gazes were now focused on the man .
Realizing that everyone is now waiting for what He will say .
" Thank you, but may I take something first . Just a minute, " said Echa .
" Who is he really ? " ask Albert .
And sure enough, it didn't take long for Echa to return with a stack of maps, complete with reading glasses perched on her nose .
" I finally saw this wonderful figure again . " Murm Esme lirih .
Echa gave her business cards to Gio, Albert, and Amora .
Then he put one by one the map that has been labeled with the name of the case .
" Isn't this all the case of the devil ? " ask Esme .
Echa nodded .
" Who are you really ? " ask Risa .
His suspicions regarding Echa's father figure seem to be true .
" I am Reza Anggoro, I am the son of Mr. Rifat Anggoro and Ms. Dyah . Do you still know them ? " ask Echa .
" You mean Uncle Rifat who was my grandfather's secretary first ? " ask Risa to make sure .
" I know he wasn't just your grandfather's secretary . But he's also your grandfather's best friend . "the answer .
" Sister said you ? back then I may have been a child, but I never forgot if my grandfather kicked your father out for betraying him . " Say Risa .
" Risa I don't know for sure , I myself am the adopted son of the couple . All I know is, by then your grandfather and my father had planned this . " Echa Clear .
" It would have been better if my father had explained everything . What I want to tell you is that my father has been asking me to find you since you were 17 years old . " Tell Echa .
" I'm looking for you to Palembang . But your house has been sold & the info I can you move to Jakarta . That's why I stayed in Jakarta . "
" I looked for you where - where, it turns out you were very close . " Come on, then laugh .
" What are you looking for me for ? " ask Risa .
" My father wanted to give you what your grandfather left my father with, "he answered briefly .
" What is that ? "
" Plants and coffee plants in Mandailing - Sumatra, plantations and chocolate factories in Bali, and tea and strawberry plantations in Bandung . "
Everyone stared in disbelief alternating between Risa and Echa .
" What is all that for me ? " ask Risa .
" Yes, and it's clear in the will your grandfather made . Ferdinand did not know about the plantation and factory owned by his father-in-law . All he knew was that his in-laws only owned land there . And those land letters are what Ferdinand has been searching for until now . " Echa Clear .
Risa was still silent, He digested all the new information He received .
The plan with Nino alone had made him dizzy . Added Echa which reveals new facts .
Silence happened for a while ', before Albert finally broke it .
" I'm sorry Boss, there's a phone call for you ." he said .
" Say I'm busy . " Reply Gio .
" This is from Mr. Aydin . " Albert said softly but can still be heard by Risa .
Risa rests her head on the back of the sofa, a sign He is already very tired for today .
" Hmmmm ... , "Gio cleared his throat on his phone .
"................ "
I don't know what Aydin said, though,
" It's none of your business . Risa is also sleeping . Don't bother us, I'm sleepy too . " Say Gio .
Risa threw a pillow at Gio when she heard what the man said .
Gio only chuckles when his face is hit by a pillow from Risa's throw .
