PFM: LEGACY

Ep.4 Welcome and Welcome

The next day, Ali came to Grassroot's cafe early. About 8 o'clock. The goal is to find Dino.

When Ali arrived, Dino was eating pecel rice in the kitchen.

“Assalamualaikum, new tumben eat.” Ali said while leaning on the door.

“Waalaikumsalam, oh ye Al. I slept again this morning after dawn. Just woke up. Wanna drink? Free.” Dino said as she continued eating.

“I make my own. Btw, where's Adam's mom? I don't think it's coming yet.” Ali said while taking out a large size glass. Ali wants to make some warm tea.

“Kata masku anyway, earlier sent mom and mbak Delia to the market. Back home. He hasn't been home for half a year.”

“Ooo... btw, I want to thank you. Ratih and I can get a Clan legacy slot at your studio.” Said Ali while pouring hot water into the glass.

“Huh, why to me? If you want to thank me, tell Ron. He made the final decision. I was just talking about you to Ron. When he said he wanted to recruit three members for studio.” Answer Dino.

“Yes because you told Ron about me, so me and Ratih got a chance.” Ali said as he exited the kitchen, towards the empty cafe chair.

“Ok”, replied Dino from the kitchen, not thinking too much about it.

.......

At 8:45 Adam came to the cafe. While waiting for Ratih and his father, Adam chatted with Ali and Dino.

At 9am Ratih came with his father. After shaking hands with each other, Adam explained about the issue of salaries, bonuses and facilities reserved for studio members. It's the same thing Adam said to Ali.

Mr. Rudi had asked a few things and asked for some clauses included in the employment contract.

After the agreement, mas Adam invited them to the notary office in Kediri, to record it to be more legal force.

The process is pretty fast. By 12pm they were back at the cafe. After a short conversation, they went home.

.......

This week was a boring day for Ali. In addition to having to take care of the virtual moving letters, Ali spends his time fighting in the Arena and helping Soleh.

Adam while still living in his parents' house in Kediri. He will return to Surabaya with Ali, Ratih and Dino. Because the studio will start in one week.

According to Dino, the building used was a former boarding house, after the owner died, the building was handed over to his son. But because his son is married, working and living abroad, his son intends to sell it.

The studio bought it quite expensive, about Rp. 7,000,000. When he heard this, Ali was shocked. According to Dino. That's not even 10% of the asset value disbursed by Studio these three months.

Dino even showed off, his assets were sold on server 1, worth Rp. 1,500,000. Please note, Dino was still level 6 when closing his account, and all Dino sold was his equipment.

On Friday afternoon, Ali took the time to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Mr. Umar. Mr. Umar is the father figure replacement for Ali. He gave Ali his name.

To Ali's biological parents, they're dead. Mr. Umar just told me, Ali's mother's name is Salma and his father's name is Faisal. Ali's mother died giving birth to Ali. For his mother's family or his father, in a government database, they have died in a fire in an apartment in the city of Kediri. After the disaster, her mother was accommodated in a social orphanage in the city of Kediri in a state of 7 months pregnant.

After her mother was pronounced dead by the hospital, the social services handed the little baby over to Ar Rohman orphanage. After that, Mr. Umar named the baby Ali. Ali grew up in an orphanage that was taken care of by Mr. Umar and his wife.

After Mr. Umar died, Mr. Umar's wife lived with his son who had a family in Jakarta. While the orphanage was handed over to Soleh mas who had just become a scholar.

.......

A week later, Ali checked back on his luggage that no one was left behind. Actually brought by Ali only a few pairs of clothes, while the other clothes were given to some orphans in the orphanage.

After being sure everything was carried away. Ali came out of the room. In front of the orphanage, Ali salutes and messages the orphans not to be naughty and helps Sholeh, especially those who are already in high school, to be more responsible.

In front of Soleh Ali said, “Thank you for everything. After Mr. Umar died, we took care of ourselves. I know it's hard, but mas never rested a day. If I may suggest, marry me. What about Husna, Mr. Modin's son? Beautiful, graduate cottage and Solehah. Mas Soleh only matches the women of Solehah. Hahaha.”

Mas Soleh's face flushed. Ali knew that Soleh liked Husna, and the relationship between Soleh and Modin was also good. Ali was sure, if Mas Soleh proposed, Mr. Modin would agree, about Husna, I sure also want if his father approved, because as far as I know, Husna is a simple woman and obeys parents.

Mas Soleh said,“You do not worry about me, the soul mate is not going anywhere... Keep the attitude in the oversea, do not forget the prayer. Exercise every morning, and do not eat late, will hurt. If you can come here once a year. This is also your home.”

After saying goodbye, Ali stepped outside the gate of the orphanage. Viewed from the outside, gates, courtyards, orphanage buildings and orphans and mas Soleh.

Ali did not want to leave the orphanage in a sad mood. So Ali tried to smile as wide as possible and said in a loud voice,” I go first. Assalamualaikum.”

The residents of the orphanage replied,” Waalaikumsalam..” then sounded various answers such as, “ cauti”, ”don't forget to here”, ”happy way”, etc.

Then Ali waved his hand and walked with definite steps, towards the Grassroot cafe.

‘I'll be back with success' muttered Ali.

.......

When Ali came to the Grassroot cafe, Dino and Adam had already come and again sat around in the cafe. Beside Dino was a woman with serious-faced glasses. Delia, Adam's wife. Formerly the chairman of Blue Anvil, now one of the vice-chairmen of the studio. By the way, the name of this studio is Frozen Anvil, Ali only knew the name of this studio when he signed a work contract.

Dino is no longer a cafe and cafe manager, because she will come to Surabaya, as a studio member. Grassroot cafes and cafes were handed over to Dino's cousin to manage them.

Ali meets Delia when Ali and Ratih are invited by Adam to her parents' house for dinner. At that time Delia explained that the focus of the studio in the future is hunting, gathering resources, and crafting. Because the main income of the studio later was from the sale of equipment.

The studio will be divided into three teams. Team 1 made up of veteran players, led by Adam. Team 2 consists of Ali, Ratih, Dino, Ron as the leader and 2 other members. Team 3, led by Delia, was in charge of making equipment and potions, some of which would be used by studio members, others for sale.

5 Minutes later, he came with his parents. Mr. Rudi and his wife entrust Ratih to Adam and Delia. To Ali, Mr. Rudi said, “I leave Ratih to you, I calm Ratih with you. Please help me out there. I'm sure, with the two of you working together, all the situations you can go through.”

“Insyaalloh pak” Ali replied.

Hearing Ali's short answer, Mr. Rudi more calmly released Ratih.

After putting the suitcases into the trunk and the rear seats, they enter the car one by one. Dino as the driver, Adam's mas beside him. Ma'am Delia and Ratih are in the middle seat, while Ali is sitting in the back seat with his suitcase and belongs to Ratih.

The car used is a type of van owned by Adam. It is quite large in black. When signing the contract, this car was also driven by Adam to the city of Kediri.

The journey lasted 1.5 hours, their car entered Surabaya. And 5 minutes later, their car arrived at a building in the Gayungan area. The building is located somewhat into a small, iron-fenced street as high as 2 meters. From the outside, the 4-story building looks new in paint with yellow. On the 4th floor there is no building just surrounded by a wire fence, it seems to be used for clothesline.

After their car stopped in front of the gate, a man in a black-and-black security uniform opened the gate. After the car came in, Ali could see, several cars parked in the courtyard of the building.

Once the car is parked, one-by-one passengers get out of the car. Ali came down last with his suitcase and Ratih.

After all came out, Adam turned to face Ali and the others. He said out loud,”For the next few years this building will be our basecamp. Let's engrave the history of ice anvil studio starting from today.” Adam led them into the building.

The doors of this building are in the form of double doors made of translucent glass. On both surfaces the glass door is decorated with a light blue anvil logo surrounded by a circle. Below it is Frozen Anvil.

As they approached the door, two security guards opened the door from the inside. Politely both said, “ welcome”.

Adam then said, “introduce, they are Mr. Wandi and Mr. Joko. They'll take turns looking after us and this building. Introduce, this teenage boy Ali and the female Ratih. They are already members of the studio. Then they get to know each other.

After getting acquainted, they went deeper into the lobby of the building. They were welcomed by 4 women. The four women were wearing long-sleeved white shirts and plain dark blue aprons.

Adam then said“ the four of them will help us cook, wash clothes and clean the building. Introduce, from left, mbak Caca, mbak Dini, mbak Ela and mbak Fani.”

Then Adam introduced Ali and Ratih to the four.

Next, they continued to go deeper. And enter a fairly large room. Inside there are various kinds of fitness equipment in the left corner, home theater with a very large lcd tv along with some carpet in the middle of the room and two dining tables are quite long and mini kitchen set on the right. The three parts of the room were not completely separated, but looked separate.

Ali observed and found that the height of the three parts of the room was different. The floor where the fitness is made is lower about one rung of stairs from the place of home theater and the dining table is made approximately one step higher than home theater.

There were fifteen people doing various activities. Ali suspects they are the rest of the studio.

Adam said, “ini is a recreation room as well as a meeting room. Let me introduce you to the rest of the studio, hey guys, meet Ali and Ratih. Our new members. Introduce yourself.”

Then one by one we got acquainted. Ali tried to remember their faces and names. And make mental notes.

Moments later Fiona, who was previously on a treadmill, approached Ali and said,”Halo Al.. I'm very surprised to see you here. We'll have a team. Please cooperation”. Fiona stretched out her hand to shake.

Ali then regretted it and said, ”of course, it would be great fun.”

Seeing the incident, Ratih looked at them with a sharp look. Then he approached Fiona, extending his hand, saying, “Halo Fiona, I'm Ali's friend, Ratih. Please cooperate.”

Fiona felt something was wrong, but still cheered on Ratih.” Ok”.

In the corner of the room, Ron noticed this incident with a gaze as if getting a new toy. “ini is very interesting.”
