My Cold Chef's
Bonchap - To Jakarta



Frank's House, Connecticut


Gandari's mouth seemed gaping as Abi made such a conclusion. Are both of her parents really dead, not by accident?!


"Since, try to remember what your parents have been, especially your mother once advised" urged Abi.


"Mama just asked for this bag I should take care of and. that time I saw mommy Jen who looked panicked ... " Gandari looked at Jennifer.


"I saw Gandari looking limp but could still say pull this bag and then faint. I just put it in my bag and immediately take care of Gandari to the hospital" Jennifer continued. "And I forgot about this bag until we finally tried to find Gandari because we heard she was put in an orphanage from the police because her family could not take care of her..."


Abi's face looked hardened and it felt like he wanted to go to the gym to beat up the samsak there.


"We're going to Semarang soon!" hiss Abi growled.


"You want to go to Semarang?" ask Jason.


"Yes Dad. Mas Abi wants to help me take over the house of mama and papa" replied Gandari.


"We're coming!" jason and Jennifer Frank. "For we want to see the bad guy get his punishment!"


"What does Mr Frank mean?" ask Abi.


"Because at the time we told Lukman about Gandari's condition, the man just put his shoulder around and said he wouldn't take care of him because his life was mediocre. Even he did not want to spend a penny to take care of the funeral of his two brothers" Jason said.


"We took care of everything with the help of the police because the families of her parents Gandari left their hands" Jennifer continued.


"We were only witnesses when Gandari's car experienced slippage and tire rupture at the Semarang toll" Jason continued.


"Is your family just your uncle?" ask Abi.


"My father was an orphan when he met my mother. Mama had a sister Oom Lukman and at that time she was married to a widow of three children. And I don't know why Mama and Oom Lukman don't get along."


"What do you think your father does?"


"Papa continues the architectural office owned by eyang because papa is an architect while the mother takes care of the family property for rent. As I recall, we have some property in Semarang but where I don't know."


"Mr and Mrs Frank. Would you like to come to Semarang?"


"Yes Abi. We want to protect Gandari even though we know you can, but Gandari is our son" Jason said.


"Please pack up because my plane will be flying tonight."

JFK New York International Airport


Tonight Abi, Gandari and his two adoptive parents fly to Jakarta first. Abi wants to meet with his lawyer cousin, Travis Blair, who has been informed before.


Abi's group departs on a private plane belonging to the Blair family who are unemployed while Kaia and Rhett still have O'Grady's plane.


Travis sends his men to investigate the safe deposit box numbers owned by Gandari's parents and find out who his lawyer is.


"Blair ? You want to bring that famous lawyer?" jason asked in surprise when Abi told him she was going to Jakarta first to pick up Travis.


"Of course, he's my cousin. And what about the two of you who just left without telling Yale?" ask Abi who knows the two lecturers at Yale was playing away without permission.


"Just take it easy, Abi, we'll send a leave of absence to campus" said Jennifer.


Abi nodded.

Halim Perdanakusuma Jakarta


Travis is waiting for Abi's plane to land perfectly on the edge of the hangar. The reliable lawyer looked relaxed while playing his phone.


Before long the man saw his cousin get off the plane with a beautiful girl and a pair of men and women who were the same age as his father James.


"Hi" said Travis, who was wearing a blue shirt that night.


"Travis!" abi smiled and immediately hugged his cousin.



"Who is this Bi?" ask Travis.


"Did you introduce your prospective client, Gandari Pramudhita and these two adoptive parents, Mr Jason and Mrs Jennifer Frank."


Travis greets them one by one.


"It's an honor for us to meet a famous lawyer from a famous family as well" Jason Frank said.


"Let's go to Blair's house to rest" Travis asked. The three then headed for Travis' Range Rover.


"Your girlfriend now who's bro?" abi asked after sitting in the car with Travis driving.


"There's in Aussie. An Indonesian child too, his name is very Javanese as well as Gandari" Travis replied with a smile.


"Ohya? What's name?"


"Rahaji."

Travis' Range Rover arrives at the mansion that once belonged to Stephen Blair who is now inhabited by the Blair family.


"Tonight you all rest here. Take it easy, our room is a lot so it has been prepared all" said Travis.


A servant delivered Frank's husband and wife a guest room that had been prepared, as well as Gandari. Abi asked them all to rest first in their rooms.


Abi himself chose to enter the workspace James and Travis.


"Opa Neil and Oom James where are you?" ask Abi.


"Opa has clients in Texas while Daddy takes care of clients in Hong Kong. So I take care of your problems" Travis said, taking a drink from the refrigerator and giving it to Abi.


"How's your investigation bro?" Abi opened his rootbeer can.



Seriously very mas...


"Lukman Kristiawan is the younger brother of Lahita Kristiawan. Lahita is married to Gavin Pramudana and has a daughter Gandari Pramudhita. Lahita and Lukman's father was an architect who owned many assets in the expensive area of Semarang. For some reason, all the above assets are named to Lahita all while Lukman only get some rice fields in Pengging Boyolali."


"Reason?"


Travis read the reports of his men. "Because Lukman was married to a widow with three children when he graduated High School. His father punished him by not giving the part in Semarang."


"It is not really a matter of marriage to the widow." murmured Abi.


"It does not matter if the widow is good but this Lukman is asked to ask for his inheritance first when his father has not died and after his father died, still Lukman did not get any of the assets in Semarang any. Everything is for Lahita who has been taking care of all income."


"Is Lahita greedy?"


"No Bi, even Lahita still sends rent-sharing money to Lukman because his sister only odd jobs after being fired by Gavin for mending money for his architectural office relics in-laws."


"That means he's a bad seed, bro. And after Gandari's parents died?"


"He didn't want to take care of their funeral and the two men, Frank's husband and wife, paid for everything. I even got this information directly from the police who used to take care of me even though I was retired." Travis downed his rootbeer. "All Lahita and Gavin's insurance money was taken by Lukman on the grounds that Gandari was a minor. The house on Kawi Street was also taken by Lukman, his wife and three children."


Abi spends his rootbeer and re*mas his can until it is out of shape.
