PURPLE WITCH

47. ELSEWHERE

at that time, in the back garden of Siska's house, Siska and Ayu were talking while enjoying a bottle of wine.

"huaemmm.. ah, it feels less exciting if only two...! if only there were a Via here...!" said Ayu half-vaporized.

"already, Mon..., don't think it...! He has found his purpose, you should be able to let him go...!"

"i know, Sis.., I know...! I'm just missing him...!"

"if you miss, why don't you call her...?"

"already...! daritadi I've tried to contact him, but haven't been picked up yet...! looks like he's busy looking for his gear...!"

"well, it could be...! let's just wait, maybe he'll call you back in a minute...!"

"yes..."

for a moment Siska and Ayu were silent, busy with their own thoughts, until suddenly Siska said,

"Yuk, by the way you want to borrow money for college...?"

"so, Sis...! but I don't know when I can turn it back...! maybe later after I'm done and get a job...!"

"already, Mon..., don't think about it...! I thought of you as my own brother...! no, you're not back, it doesn't matter...!"

"where can that be...! borrow it borrow it...! one day I will give it back...!"

"well, it's up to you...! emmm..., by the way, when did you leave for the Capital...?"

"about two months...! my college started again in three months, so I wanted to get there faster to adapt, all the while looking for a side job.., well, anyone knows if there's a good fit...!"

at that time, in front of the house Bladuk, Bladuk, Hengki, Bram and Tommi were sitting happily while enjoying a few bottles of wine.

"so you and Melinda have decided to get married at the end of next month...?" ask Tommi to Bladuk.

"yes, that's...! we think the sooner the better, so that I can concentrate fully on preparing for the conscription...!" balas Bladuk's.

"ah, that's just your excuse...! what should be prepared for conscription...? just tell me you can't bear to spice it up in bed...! hehehe.." said Bram.

"well, what do you want to say...? what is clear is that later I ask you as the host...! you can, bro...?" Blend back to ask.

"sorry, bro. I can't seem to...!" reply Bram.

"why...? do you have an event...?" ask Bladuk again.

"it's not so, but it looks like next month I will have to go to the capital to audition for the Star of Bali...!"

"lho, does the Bali Star start in six months...? why are you going there next month...?" this time Tommi asked in wonder.

"the new panel called me, they said all this time the participants only performed well during the audition, while during the final round, all appeared less satisfactory...! therefore they want to quarantine all participants who pass the selection, in order to perform optimally when the final putran...!" bram.

"oh, thats...! so that means next month you're not here anymore...!" ask Bladuk again.

"well, that's...! wish me success, yes...!"

"of course...! we hope you can achieve your dream, become a famous star...!!!"

at that time, in the city of Tanadewa, in the yard of a house that is quite luxurious, a man in a red suit walked hastily.

"young master..., young master...! just now I got word from our spies in Darmateteen village...!"

"what news...?" asked the young master who was none other than Brandon.

"they said, the enemy of the master has been invisible for three days...! it looks like the girl has already left her house...!"

"yes, do they know where he's going...?"

"they don't know, young master...! but they say, lastly the girl was seen going south on a pink motorcycle...! after that the girl never came back again...!"

"hmmm.., looks like that damn girl is having some business out there...! yes already, then pull all our spies from there, just leave one alone to watch his house...! I'm sure, wherever He goes, He'll come back one day...!"

"well, young master...!" the man in the red coat left Brandon.

after his men left, Brandon grabbed his cell phone from the table and contacted someone.

"good night, young master..., is there anything I can help you with...?" answer the man across there.

"how was the task I gave you yesterday, have there been any results...?"

"then, what did the man say...?"

"He said he was ready to help us...! soon He will find fault with his father, and fire him...!"

"what money do we give you enough...?"

"enough young master, even more than enough...!"

"great...! and what about her mother...?"

"as the young master wished, his mother had already signed off on the purchase of luxury items that we sold for half the price with a reverse payment...!"

"great...! then continue with the plan, make sure they immediately go bankrupt until they can not pay their debts...!"

"get ready, young master...!"

"tutttt..."

after calling, Brandon immediately laughed,

"hahahaha.. hahahaha.., look at SONIA...! soon your family will fall poor and beg for my help...! at that time you will not be able to reject me anymore, and inevitably you will accept me to be your husband...! hahahaha..."

at that time, in a simple house, a middle-aged woman was talking on the phone.

"good night..."

"aunty night, this is Adi...!"

"uh, Adi...! how are you...?"

"well, aunt...! aunt herself how are you...?"

"well, where are you...? has it reached the New Continent...?"

"already, aunt..., just a week ago...!"

"oh, so long ago...?"

"grass aunty, there's a little problem at sea, but thankfully everything's fine...!"

"oh, thank goodness then...! hmmm..., by the way, what did you call here...?"

"i'd like to talk to Via...., Via is...?"

"oh, Via...! He left two days ago...!"

"where to...?"

"go home, meet her grandmother...!"

"his grandmother...?! via has a grandmother...!"

"yes too...! do you think aunty was born of stone...?!"

"hehehe.. sorry, aunt, sorry..., I mean, is Grandma Via alive...? isn't her grandmother dead...?"

"hush...! don't kill someone...! since when did her grandmother die...?"

"sorry, auntie.., I think her grandmother is dead, because Via never told her grandmother was alive...!"

"never a story doesn't mean it's dead...!"

"hehehe.. once again sorry, Aunt...! by the way, how long did Via go to his grandmother's house...?"

"maybe about three to five years...!"

"three to five years...! how long is it...? what's the matter with Via at her grandmother's house up to that long...?"

"He is studying traditional medicine...!"

"traditional treatment...! aunt Via meant to be a shaman...?"

"not a shaman, but a Physician...!"

"oh, yeah.., that's it....! emmmm..., can I have a TG number Via...? TG I lost, so I lost all contact...!"

"oh, it's worth calling here instead of the TG, yeah, you note yes, the number is blah.. bla... bla..."
