They arrive at the inn that Jean has been renting for a week.
Upon arriving, Jenan was immediately busy with his laptop. Take care of a few things for the opening of the show tomorrow morning.
Zenda was asleep due to exhaustion.
Not with Jean and Joanna busy with their own thoughts.
"If he comes back, I don't hesitate to break his leg."
"Johanna."
"What's? The last time Rosa acted, your company was almost destroyed because of Sean's abuse videos on her then and now, I'm not going to let that demon destroy my Son, Jean."
Joanna swore, will protect her children from the threat of Rosa who did not get tired of disturbing his life.
"Yes, calm down, baby. My men are ready to guard the building."
"Remain, Rosa's existence is a threat. I don't want to see that woman's face again."
"Mommy." call Jenan all of a sudden.
The young man heard his parents' debate.
This is what Jenan was afraid of when he found out Rosa was part of one of his showgoers tomorrow.
Though Jenan hopes, their lives are fine without a shadow of bad mass.
All can not be separated from the story of Mr. Dery to him a few years ago.
Telling the ins and outs of what happened in their family when little Jenan accidentally met Rosa and Mistress Anne.
"Not slept?"
Joanna patted the empty spot between herself and Jean.
Jenan just shook her head.
"Not to worry. Aunty Rosa's name is Papi blacklist. You can focus on preparing for tomorrow's event."
"Why is Aunty still bothering us, Pi? What's our family's fault with her?"
"As Papi said, you just focus on your exhibition, son." said Joanna soothingly.
"Hm, thanks. I hope tomorrow's exhibition goes my way."
"Of course! You don't have to think of anything else that could break your concentration tomorrow."
"Yes, Pi."
Joanna kissed the young man on the forehead, "Sleep, honey. Mommy doesn't want you to stay up late and wake up late."
"Yes, Mommy. Good night, Jenan dear Papi and Mami."
"We love you too, son."
...••••...
This half day event went well.
There was no sign of Rosa entering the building.
Everything is under control thanks to the strict guard Jean takes on for her son's show.
"Zenda can't go there? Take macaron."
"Can. Don't go too far because this isn't your place, remember Ze?"
"Yes yes, Mi. Ze just take macaroni."
"Yes already, there."
The teenage girl walked to a long table devoted to entertaining VVIP guests who wanted to enjoy the dishes after being satisfied to see Jenan's stunning collection.
Frames of various sizes also decorate each side of the wall.
Jenan's first work when she was two years old was also displayed there. To reminisce again.
Brugh!
Zenda accidentally bumped into someone who was in front of him.
"Oh, sick." she lamented.
Then someone reached out one hand, intending to help Zenda stand up.
"Sorry, Aunty didn't see."
"It's okay! Wrong Zenda too, sorry."
Feeling familiar with the face, Zenda's brows furrowed.
"Not–"
"God! Ze wants to go with Aunty, right? You want to talk, important."
Not sure where the whisper came from, Zenda nodded without hesitation.
Receiving a larger finger grip and then exiting the building.
His appearance has been changed.
The guards were unaware of Rosa's whereabouts.
Ja. That was Rosa.
...••••...
"Zenda where, Pi? How I look around the room is not there."
Jenan has been down several places, even looking for his sister near the food table, but nil.
That girl doesn't exist.
"She said she'd take macaron."
Joanna tried to think positively.
Not wanting to make Husband and the firstborn worry.
Although usually the feeling of a mother is very strong, but she immediately brushed aside. I hope Zenda is okay.
"A person with short hair and wearing a casual suit was seen chatting with Miss Zenda ten minutes ago, Mister."
"Ten minutes ago?" repeat Jean.
Joanna and Jenan were silent. Seeing the look on Jean's angry face imprinted on the temple.
"Why are you staying here?"
"Sorry, Mister?"
"FIND MY DAUGHTER, YOU IDIOT!" his yell.
Which immediately attracted the attention of the people there.
No one understood the language Jean spoke to his men but they were sure something bad was going on.
"Je, how's this? What is Rosa?"
"Aunty Rosa." said Jenan.
It's his recklessness that let Zenda go alone.
"The way will continue ..."
Jean sends a message to his men to immediately split up, "You and Mami stay here. Don't let your fans down because you don't exist. Joanna, let's have Zenda, I'll take care of it."
"You promised you'd bring Zenda home safely, didn't you?"
Actually Joanna could not hide her fear, but Joanna also did not want to add to Jean's anxiety.
"Hm, I promise. He wouldn't dare hurt Zenda, trust me."
"Pi, I'm coming, okay? My show is over anyway. Let the rest be taken care of by the crew on duty."
"But never taught you to let go of responsibilities. This exhibition was a dream long time ago, so finish it until the end, champ."
The clap on Jenan's shoulder is a sign that Jean does not want to be denied again.
Aware of wasting too much time, Joanna invites Jenan to go to greet the visitors who are busy looking at her work.
"Hopefully Zenda can be found soon huh, Mi. I'm so worried."
"Believe in Papi, Je. Your sister will meet soon."
...••••...
Five packs of ice cream were scattered on the table.
Zenda rubbed his stomach that felt full and cold because he had finished the ice cream alone.
"Aunty Rosa why dance like a granny?"
Unlike Jenan who is quiet, Zenda is active in talking.
Many things that the boy would be afraid of.
"Aunty wants to see Papi and Mami you, Ze."
Rosa's gaze was full of meaning.
"But Papi and Mami Ze don't allow Aunty in, so–"
Not yet Rosa continued her words, six people surrounded them.
He points a gun at Rosa and Zenda, who have raised their hands to give a surrender code.
"A-aunty, scared."
"Calm down first. Let Aunty talk to them."
Zenda did not answer. His heart was pounding when one of them told him to stand among the gunmen.
"What's wrong? We don't feel like we're making a mistake?"
"It's not you, it's just you, Rosa."
Jean came to interrupt them.
...••••...
That night, Zenda was scolded by her mother.
Condemning the innocence of the girl who wanted to follow the invitation of strangers without saying goodbye to her family until it ended makes everyone anxious.
"But Aunty Rosa is good, Pi, Mi. He bought Ze a lot of ice cream."
"Oh my God, Zenda! How old are you, huh? Good Lord! My head suddenly hurts." moaned Joanna, holding her throbbing temple.
"Mommy, yes! Don't be angry anymore. The important thing is that Zenda's home is fine."
"That's because you don't know what kind of crime Rosa's done to our family. Know what a kid yesterday afternoon was like you, Jenan."
Joanna's emotions began to ignite.
Jean gestures for Jenan to take Zenda to the room.
The boy was already crying sobbing at the anger of his mother who was not as usual.
Even Joanna's voice was heard from outside. Makes the bodyguards wonder what's going on in there.
"I don't like you yelling at Zenda like that, Joanna."
"Why should I advise your spoiled daughter? You know that Jenan's abduction traumatized me and lost half my life, and then you casually say that?"
"Rosa's been taken into custody by Interpol and tomorrow morning we'll meet her at the police station."
"I don't care! Even if he's rotting in prison, I don't want to see him again, Jean."
Jean nosed her nose.
Had to use any other means so Joanna would meet Rosa so that she would be released from detention.
"Tonight I want to sleep in the guest room. We need time to cool off each other's heads, good night."
If this is the case, Jean can only give in. According to the words of Joanna who wanted to split the bed last night.
