chapter 116

" Race, where's Joe ? Why not go to lunch ?" ask Pratama while drowning.

" Joe went with Brother Ryan Pa. " Answer Tiwi slowly.

" Ryan ? Where ?"

" Picking up the Pa's orphanage sisters. "

" So saying goodbye to you Rass ?"

" Not really Pa. But Laras saw their departure."

" You are calm. Ryan's my man in the shadow army. I'm sure he can take good care of Joe." comfort Nico.

" all right. I'm just worried. "

" Prepared later in the afternoon has been clear all right Pratama ?"

" It's Mama Ayu."

" His orphanage is there anyone who wants to live ?" ask Astrid.

" yes. Ma's. Around here, there's an orphanage that Ryan and his sisters live in. "

" Ryan ? Guards Joe ?" ask Sekar.

Laras nodded.

" Kat Laras knows that Kak Ryan grew up in an orphanage ?" ask Tiwi.

" Papi is the same Joe who told me."

Tiwi manggut-mangut understands. Then he looked back as Mahira touched his shoulder.

" The novel is finished I read. I brought him one. Do you want to read ?"

" Yes Kak Hira." replied Tiwi quickly.

" Peradin as many tissues as possible. I just got my eyes swollen. "

" Really ?"

" yes. Kak Laras emang most good for my heart ketar ketir. " whispered Mahira sad.

" To her side, sister ?"

" yes. I don't know, but I feel like I've been reading Kak Laras' journey all this time. Even though the name and place are made differently. Read it and you will understand. "

" I can't wait, I want to read it immediately."

*****

Ba'da Ashar local residents have arrived in front of the orphanage. Same with the orphanage where Ryan used to live. The event took place solemnly. Even many residents are also grateful because the children of orphanages not far from where they can be accommodated here.

" Thank you Mr. Pratama. It's allowed my sisters to stay here" Ryan said when the show was over.

Pratama who was standing turned to look at Ryan who was extending his hand to shake it. Ryan is nervous right now.

" Why do you have to talk to your parents so much" Pratama replied, hugging Ryan.

Ryan was dumbfounded, his tongue was a joke. An Aerospace Primary considers him his own son ??

Joe and his two papi approached and laughed at Ryan who looked nervous in the Pratama hug.

" Just like Tiwi, you I've regarded as my son as well. Please take care of your brother Joe. Be patient with my son's rancid and ignorant attitude. " said Pratama while punching Joe's arm.

" Not that Ryan. Just call us as Tiwi called us ", Bram replied.

" Papi ??"

The three Papa laughed hearing Ryan still call out to him.

" Ryan, "call a middle-aged woman behind her back.

Everything looks. Bram and Nico shake hands first. Likewise with Joe who already knows Mother Sasi, the mother of the orphanage.

Prita, Laras, Azka, Mei, Tiwi, Mahira and the elders came closer. Same with Ruly, Sam, Rey and Damian.

" Include her Sasi's mother, my mother and the mother of the home.

Pratama shook Sasi's hand. And smile at the family of the woman there.

" Mom, you know Joe. I introduced Joe Bu's family "Joe said as he held Sasi's mother. Laras and his family smiled at the familiarity. Joe looks happy.

" This is Papa Joe, these two people, of course I already knew him first. Because they are older than Joe. "know Joe ignorant of Bram and Nico. Of course it got him a fist on his arm.

" And, she's my mother. Holy Mother. The greatest mother "knows Joe to his mother.

Sasi greeted Saints and smiled.

" And, this is Grandma Ayu. Here, Mama Ratih. This is Mami Sekar, Papi Bram's wife. This is Mami Cia, Papi Nico's wife. Joe Bu's in-laws. "

Everyone was laughing when Joe glanced at Valencia.

" Joe, don't flirt !!" hardik Nico's.

" Iishh, Papi is possessive." grumbled Joe.

" This is Mama Astrid, this is Aunt Lyra. "

" This is Tiwi, I already know dong. It's a prospective mother. "

Tiwi just looked down embarrassed after kissing the back of Ryan's mother's hand. Sassi just smiled back.

" This is Ms. Azka and that's her candidate Mbak Azka. Kahf."

" Joe, "reprove Baras.

" Eehh, eeehh, Bang Kahfi Ma'am. "

Ruly pulled Joe's nose in a fit of rage.

" And this is Mei Ma'am. My wife-to-be. Beautiful maan Ma'am. Blasterannya. "

Sasi laughed as well as the others while sneering at Joe. Makes Mei shy.

" This is Mahira and her future husband Rey. "

" Last Daaann Ma'am. This is Bang Damian, the future husband of Joe Bu's favorite brother. "

Joe moved to hold Laras who made a cake for a moment.

" And this, dear Ma'am Joe Bu. The best kid Joe has ever had. "

" Lebay ah. Then I kissed the back of Sasi's hand. But suddenly Sasi pulled Laras into his embrace.

Laras hit one by one his family who are currently looking at wonder.

" I think we add one more Mother Azka Ma'am. "sindir Joe while holding Azka who laughed. Barrel smiled wryly.

" Thank you, son. May you always be given safety and health. "

" Aamiin's.. Aamminn yes robbal alamin. "

Laras released a hug Sasi who looked still unwilling to do so.

" How could Bu Sasi suddenly hug Laras. Have they met Ryan before ?" ask Nico.

" Never, Pi. This was the first time, "jawab Ryan was also astonished.

" I've felt it too. When I met Baras first. Suddenly I felt like I was meeting my own son. I don't know. It was like suddenly getting to know Laras and doting on him" Astrid said. Remember when I met Baras.

" Because the Barrel has a positive aura. Wherever he is. It is not difficult to make the people he just met become affectionate to him. "explained Mei.

" Bang Dami, get ready to share with more people" Joe said.

" It's delicious. After marriage, Laras was just mine. Not for all. " Damian grunts.

" This is just a dear mother. What if someone introduces him to men. "goda Sam.

" I used to, indirectly, introduce him to my friend from Loondon. He said he didn't like it but, "typically Rey hung over while glancing at Damian who was upset.

" Sam. Not that you have a guy friend you want to introduce to Laras. Or maybe later he too, "Rey deliberately hung the sentence again. Seeing Damian's angry expression.

" You want me to hide Hira again ?!" damian's exasperated.

Spontaneous Rey pulls Hira behind her. Mahira punches Rey's back upset.

" Udah, do not wake the sleeping lion " whispered Mahira afraid.

" I'm sorry. I don't know, seeing Laras is like seeing my dead son. "

Ryan held his mother a little away. Not to disturb the mood. Afraid that the people in front of him are angry.

" The barrel does have a positive aura of Ms. Sasi. Everyone who meets his country must be quick to sneak it. "comfort Grandma.

Damian pulled Laras' hand and made him back by his side possessively. Of course it makes Rey laugh to see it.

" Don't be too kind to the other person." whispered.

" Kok that's it. Don't follow Joe ah. "lazy nagging slowly.

" Anyway, in the future. If not the same as me. You can't get to know people. Especially men. "

Laras chuckles at it, then sees Damian's clearly jealous expression.

" He's a woman. Mothers you know, this is why his eyebrows until wrinkled like gini. "

Laras pointed towards Damian's brows which only shifted his gaze. Still upset.

" In fact, the plan is that I will join Papa meeting with his clients later you know "sorry Laras while his index finger rubbed Damian's eyebrows so as not to wrinkle again.

" Dear !!" damian's growled.

Laras laughs.

" I'm kidding, Mom. Don't be angry anymore. Ugly nih. "

" Call baby first. "

" Wouldn't. Ugly continued. "joked Laras while clasping Damian's hand and holding Astrid who laughed at the jealous Damian.

" Don't hold it Race. You know he's holding back from hugging you. "

Laras chuckles.

" I'm sorry Ma. End of Joe's death. Possessiveness is acute. "

Joe who was immediately not far from Laras just sniffled.

" If not gini. It could be later at home already accommodating the fathers and mothers. I'm not going to regret it later." he said.

Barrel hit Joe so as not to provoke.

" I'm sorry, Ryan has told me so much about all the good things about your family. I feel like I know this family very well. "

" For what sounds faster to the heart than is seen" said Laras.

" You're right, son. " said Ms. Sasi.

" Yes already. It's already night. We better get back to the inn. Let Ryan and his family clean up the orphanage" Pratama said.

" Thank you" said Sasi sincerely.

They all walked towards the inn for a rest. Ryan and Sassi break into the orphanage to help the other children get their things done.
