"Riu, so you mean..."
Tata lifted her head from Riuga's chest and looked into his eyes looking for the truth.
"Yes Tata, your father is Uncle Haikal, right? He is my uncle who I love very much. Before you were born, I was his favorite son." said Riuga, shedding tears of longing.
"Riu, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you!"
Tata feels guilty for accusing Riuga who is not. The beautiful woman hugged Riuga's body tightly and drowned her face in the chest of the handsome man.
"Since the departure of my parents, only this box remained. I tried to find you at that time, but my situation at that time was not possible. I lost everything, I also had to bone down in a mine to continue my life and Adelia who was too small" Riuga said in tears.
Riuga drowned her face on Tata's shoulders and returned her female embrace no less tightly. Tears were unceasingly dripping, making the clothes of the Order wet Riuga.
"Riu, then what happened? Why did your life turn out like this?" tata asked without letting go of their embrace.
"In the mines, I was treated like a dog. Even children my age who work there, often rebel because the wages we get are not worth the energy we have spent."
Riuga begins to get fixated and recalls the bitter events she had gone through while surviving for Adelia's sake.
Flashbacks
A few weeks after the departure of his parents, the handsome man always gets a threat from some people who want to take over the property that actually belongs to his Uncle Haikal. It makes Riuga take the decision to leave everything and move out of town for the safety of her little sister.
After arriving outside the city, Riuga began to be confused because he already had no money at all. Even to buy food, Riuga was not able to.
For two nights Riuga and Adelia had to sleep under a bridge, following people who did not have houses like them.
That night, Riuga could not close his eyes at all. His eyes began to sparkle looking at his little brother who was sound asleep on his thighs. Sleeping on a cardboard file without a blanket, rolling your own body withstanding the piercing cold to the heart.
"Hi, what's wrong with you?" ask a boy who just came to them.
"It's okay, I'm just a little sad thinking about my sister's fate!" riuga said as she rubbed her eyes.
"You've eaten? I have a little food, eat first! We'll talk again!" said the boy who was the same age as Riuga.
"That's your food, you eat it! I'm full." said Riuga lying, but Riuga's stomach at that time was very hungry.
"Don't lie, I know you haven't eaten before! I slipped this food from my workplace, you eat first! Before I came here I had eaten." said the boy as he put the food into Riuga's hands.
"Thank you!" riuga said that she finally received the food.
With trembling hands holding back the hunger, Riuga began to open the rice wrap and devour it with tears.
"Don't cry, life is cruel! You must be strong for your brother!" said the boy who was still sitting in front of Riuga.
After eating, the two of them went back to talking and introduced themselves to each other.
"I'll introduce you, my name is Riuga. And this is my sister Adelia" Riuga said as she extended her hand towards the boy.
"My name is Febrian, just call me Febri!" sahut the boy while shaking hands with Riuga.

"Riuga, you want to not work at my place? It's a little heavy, but it can at least help you support your sister!" take the pity Febri to see the fate of Riuga.
"I want to, but I can't leave my sister alone! He is still too small." said Riuga thought about the condition of his sister at that time.
"Come with me, I have a safe place for your sister!" said Febri who began to step out from under the bridge.
Riuga carried Adelia on her back and followed Febri's footsteps towards a house not so far from where they slept.
"What's this place, Febri?" riuga asked in confusion.
"This is an orphanage specifically for girls. You can leave your sister here first! You can visit her whenever you want!" said Febri who made Riuga's eyes bulge instantly.
"How could I leave my sister here alone?" riuga said with a worried look.
"You should be able to, Riuga! If not, how can you meet your needs?" febri said to strengthen Riuga.
Inevitably, with a heavy heart Riuga finally left his brother who was asleep in his carrier in the orphanage. Riuga entrusts Adelia to the mother's home, and promises to pick up her sister as soon as possible.
*****
After several months of working in the mines, Riuga had never once visited her sister, she was afraid Adelia was sad to see her coming. However, Riuga always sends gifts to Adelia and money to the housewife through her best friend Febri.
"Riuga, your sister is fine! I've given you a gift from him, he's so happy! But, she was also sad for wanting to meet you!" said Febri who just returned from the orphanage.
"Thank you, Febri. You are the best. We'll pick him up soon and get out of this place as soon as possible!" riuga said while smiling wily.
"In that case, it's time for action!" sahut Febri who came to smile cunningly.
The two men went back to the mine and began to set up their schemes.
Since working in mining, Riuga began to be trained to be a hard and cruel man. Being treated like a dog, it was no longer a problem for Riuga and Febri. Being hit, whipped even trampled, was already a common thing for the two of them.
In recent months, Riuga and Febri have managed to embezzle the proceeds of the mine and sell it at a fairly low price.
Of course, many people are racing to accommodate their loot. All that they are forced to do because of the cruelty of leaders who only use their energy.
That morning, Riuga and Febri got the task of bringing the mined goods to a fairly distant place. That's when, the two friends began to do the action and took everything away without a trace.
After exchanging the stolen money for money, Riuga and Febri parted ways for a while. Febri flies overseas, while Riuga immediately picks up Adelia at the orphanage and takes her sister away from the place.
From then on, Riuga's figure turned into a stone man who had no feelings at all. Even that handsome man never hesitated to eliminate anyone who dared to oppose him.
Several years passed, Riuga managed to grow his business and become one of the successful young business people. That is what makes him a very respected entrepreneur by his business opponents.
Riuga also had time to return to the mining and compensate for all the losses he had stolen. The handsome man even gave compensation many times, which made the company immediately closed the case that had been handled by the authorities.
