Twelve hours later Rita and her grandfather arrived safely at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Banten province. They were picked up by a Jakarta housekeeper named Ridwan.
“Welcome Sir!” raidwan
“Lho kog you picked up? Which mother?” asked Darmawan, he gave his sling bag to Ridwan
“Sudden mother to Switzerland sir, she got word mba Metha ailing”
“Ooo,.when did he leave? kog not permission to me?” ask Darmawan again
"He panicked sir, got word during the day, he had booked a night flight ticket. He also brought herbs from here”
“Oalaah..Metha is just a fever, the mother is too much, oh yes Ridwan, I've told you, right? This is Rita, this is my granddaughter Eka's son, Andi's sister. Rita, this is Mr. Ridwan, he is in charge of managing the house in Jakarta” Darmawan introduced Rita to Ridwan
“Rita Sir!” He shakes Ridwan
“Ridwan only mba, don't hesitate!”
“No ah, you are much older than I”, Rita smiled. Darmawan noticed Rita's style of speech, and,
“Wan, where's the car? Did we eat at the restaurant here? Grandpa hungry nih Rit”
“Hmm,.grandfather want Indonesian, western or Japanese food?” ask Rita
“What options are close?”
“That's a Sundanese food restaurant, it looks good cake!”
“Yes, just go there. Yuk Wan you also come to eat, must be long yes waiting for us?”
“No need sir, we had coffee outside. So still full”
“Yakin? We eat first huh?” Darmawan embraces Rita, they go to Sundanese food restaurant
At the restaurant they ordered some food and drinks, while waiting for the food to come
“So Rita, since when did your memory return?” darmawan asked, he spoke casually, but a firm tone emanated from his speech
Rita was shocked, she did not expect the play to be quickly revealed.
“Hmm..since yesterday Cake, accidentally Rita sucked the bathroom door. It hurts, uh or Rita can take it all. But this head of Rada Benjol” he showed me where he stumbled
“Have been treated?” Darmawan rubbed Rita's head
“Already, use the oil, still frowning but now it's good enough, How can Grandpa know?”
“Actually grandpa was suspicious on the plane, you went back and forth to the toilet. Many times using eye medicine, your grandfather's guess is crying continues because of separation from Daniel?”
“But Rita's eyes are indeed a bit red Cake!”
“Then I spoke with Ridwan, your style of speech is back as before, no longer centil.”
“Wah grandfather observant once huh?”
“Sure dong, why didn't you be honest from the beginning? Than to force yourself .Separate when again alas?”
“Wh grandpa, kayak son ABG only”
“Grandfather is not against you as Daniel, just go ahead!”
“Rita heard Andi's grandfather and brother chat about Daniel, Rita thought it was a good thing for her, but not necessarily good for our relationship.”
“You mean?”
“The second time that rumor in the office happened, before he was also angry about what Rita thought was very trivial. Angry he was not to curse only us noisily for a week. While the last he was upset because of the rumors, he distanced himself.”
“Daniel like that?”
“Iya Kek, this is not Rita complaining yes, Rita understands the kog that Daniel feels but only he can overcome such feelings of inferiority. Rita thought about it all night, maybe if we split up a good thing. If under normal circumstances, we are difficult to separate, but if separated because of circumstances no one can prevent Kek?”
“Then is Andi also part of your drama?”
“Neither Sister, Andi knows nothing. Daniel is very observant if Rita does not make brother Andi meng”gila” because Rita is new, Rita is sure to be found out”
“So you do plan to transfer schools to Jakarta?”
“Where the hell Cake, follow Sisca to the Netherlands can also. Uh Grandpa chose Jakarta.” instead
“What's off?”
“Don't dong Kek, Rita asks Grandpa to hide Rita from Daniel. Don't let him know Rita's memory is back”
“But you like each other right?”
“Iya anyway Cake, Daniel is good, attention, anyway really husband-material deh. But if the problem ‘itu’ has not been able to overcome, our relationship will not succeed. Brother Andi said, before getting sticky should be stopped from now”
“How about Andi?”
“Kak Andi is so funny huh Cake, she hysterically keeps . Later deh Kek, let brother Andi calm down first” Rita smiled considering his snickering seduces Andi. After all, Rita was afraid that Andi's brother would leak Rita's condition to Daniel”
“How long do you want to talk to Daniel? What if he has a crush on another girl? What else are you guys so far away!”
“It's Precisely Cake, maybe 2-3 years. If a soul mate must meet”
“So the story is you broke up from him? Not cool down, right? The obvious dong. So grandfather also will not be angry if suddenly grandfather saw Daniel go with a woman to an event.”
Rita was silent, then it seemed she was very determined
“Iya cake, we broke up! Rita has let it go, God willing!” Rita said it steadily but her tears kept flowing she could not control.
“That's right, crying continues. Do not force yourself!” said Darmawan, he really did not have the heart to see his granddaughter sad
“Not cake, this is new Day-1, tomorrow-tomorrow Rita will not cry again deh!”
“Beneyes? Don't change your mind! Actually, grandpa made a pact with Daniel to stay away from you this year, which means limiting your meetings. Surely Grandpa was also worried, Andi told Daniel not to stop staring at you during the party. This man's grandfather knows what he has in mind. Hence grandfather thought that if you are not married now, it would be nice for you to keep your distance first”
“Do we look bucin once yes cake?”
“When we were in Dubai, Rendy's parents had a chance to show you two photos. As far as Grandpa knows, you are not this close, but they have photographed you several times looking at each other, according to the grandfather who photographed you had worked in national geography, because the photos are very good. Your eyes are like emitting aura”
“Hah? Grandpa lebay ah!”
“Truly, ask Grandpa Sugi, like he who holds your photo. After seeing the photo of you two Grandpa Sugi until speechless. Rendy's family thinks Grandpa Sugi and I want to lie to them.”
“Lying?”
“Kakek Sugi once told them his granddaughter is still single there is no partner, well the photo shows intimacy. But in the end we decided not to match you with Rendy. Especially for a contract of cooperation. They were insistent, they said that if there is no marriage between you and Rendy the contract will be canceled.”
“Yahhh..then how is the cake?”
“Ya we have said cancel, this cooperation must be based on mutual trust, if from the beginning they put trust based on marriage according to grandfather is not professional! Grandpa Sugi also agreed with Grandpa”
“Cake Caucus? “
“Then one of their staff showed the news about our company's new cooperation with Charles Lucas's company, whose investment value was 2x the value of their investment. After a few days it was their turn to beg us to cooperate with them”
“Oh yes? so you guys continue investing?”
“Ooo so, deserve her pissed”
“Huh?” Darmawan sipped bajigur
“We met at Charles Lucas Kek's party, he was angry with Daniel. Maybe if Rendy's woman could be dubbed Drama Queen!”
“Iya, almost all his family like that, grandfather warned Grandpa Sugiyono, so that later do not carelessly match his own grandson.”
“Wahhh..real grandpa very good huh??”
“Iya dong, uh Rit, from earlier kog food that came out a long time ago huh? it's just bajigur, same bakwan. Which other food? Hunts lost hunger!”
“Shortly Curses!” Rita got out of her chair and headed to the reservation
“There can I help?” ask the booking officer
“I've been ordering since 15 minutes ago, but which comes new drinks and fried, the main food where ya?” rita asked, he gave me a purchase receipt
“For a while ya mba?” the officer called the kitchen, but there was no response, so he went to the kitchen, suddenly the kitchen door opened and pushed the officer down. Someone dressed in white like a chef holding a sharp knife in his hand, he pulled the reservation clerk and held him hostage
“You guys don't come any closer, if you dare I'll stab this guy!” the chef shouted, the booking officer crying in fear. Rita who was near the chef slowly took a silver tray that was quite heavy, then he threw the tray to the chef's seat, he was shocked because he was sick he let go of his grip from the booking officer. Rita quickly pulled the officer's hand away from the chef . Chef, realizing that his hostage had been taken off, attempted to attack Rita with his knife. Agilely Rita catches the hand of the knife chef and slams him to the floor. Rita twisted the chef's hand and kicked the knife away, the chef groaned in pain. All eyes were fixed on seeing the action
“Hey help me!” rita shouted, she used her body to hold the chef's body. Two men who were there to help Rita, the chef was successfully paralyzed. Some people recorded the events of low, boisterous voices of applause from restaurant visitors. Darmawan who saw the action of Rita gawking like he could not believe what he had just witnessed. The chef was taken to the airport security office for processing at the police station while Rita returned to her seat
“You okay Rit?” darmawan asked, he saw Rita's facial expression that implied anxiety
“Nothing Cake, rather surprised also sih” he drank water to calm himself
“You didn't get hurt, did you? The guy held a sharp knife!”
“He held the knife just to scare people away from him.”
“But he had a chance to hold you”
“Actually he wanted to help the girl wake up, but because he was worried that the surrounding people attacked so he changed his strategy to hostage”
“Kog you can know such a thing?”
“Daniel once showed a video of his training as a bodyguard, he also explained about the planned and unplanned hostage-taking.”
“hmm..you guys are scary grandpa only.” Darmawan and Rita continue their lunch
When to go home
“Mba, this is a souvenir from our restaurant, as an expression of our gratitude for the actions of mba earlier”
“Eh no need mba, I was just reflex kog” said Rita low
“Please accepted yes, this message from the owner of this restaurant” the recipient of the order earlier gave a goody bag bearing the name of the restaurant.
“Alright, I accept. Thank you so much” Rita received a goody bag, then came out of the restaurant with her grandfather.
“Can what Rit?” ask grandpa
Rita opens a goody bag
“Mug, Towel and 3 pcs discount cake voucher!”
“Oh yes? what percentage is the discount?”
“15% in all restaurant” merchants
“Ooo, passable. Try grandpa see his voucher”
Rita gives a voucher to her grandfather
“Hmm.I think grandpa knows the owner of this restaurant”
“Huh? Friends grandpa?”
“Not, but your grandmother!” Darmawan gave the voucher back
“Grandma? Grandma's aunt Metha?” ask Rita wonder
“Iya right, wow it's great apparently” murmured while getting into the car
“Grandma restaurant kek entrepreneur? How did grandfather not say before entering the restaurant earlier?”
“hmm..seemat grandfather, Grandmother once told some branches of his restaurant should he loose because it does not develop, but if you see, the franchise chain is still running.”
“Grandpa gives capital to grandma?”
“Metha gives to her mother. Grandpa doesn't want to know your grandmother's business!”
“Grandpa is very cold yes with grandma, are you married because you were forced?” ask Rita
“Your grandmother was Eka's nanny, your father. She was very kind to Eka, but her former husband, her father Metha, was very rude. Likes to gamble, drink alcohol and KDRT. Once, her husband came to Eka's school, when your grandmother was waiting for Eka who was in school. Her husband did a KDRT to your grandmother in front of Eka's eyes. It traumatized her, I didn't accept. His actions scared my son. So I used all my power to throw that guy in jail.”
“Successful Cake?”
“Sure dong, I managed to keep him in jail for 5 years but because his behavior was bad. He died in prison due to brawl between inmates”
“How can grandfather marry grandma?”
“Eka persuaded me, she said she felt sorry for Metha who lost her father. I saw Metha, she's a diligent child. Then I proposed to your grandmother, but our marriage was just on paper. For our respective bed affairs”
“Ih grandfather, do not talk about household secrets with grandson dong, not good to hear”
“ Grandpa just pressing right, our relationship is limited to that”
“Waah pity granny dong, just status”
“Kog pity, since being Darmawan's mistress, she has a lot of her property, I will not let my wife remain poor”
“Yes, grandpa was great. As the name is very generous!” puji Rita's
“Hahaha.iya dong. Btw Rit, last time you beat up the guy, some visitors record you know, grandfather worried your brother or Daniel saw your action”
“ ah right too, can you help me cake? Grandpa could use all the power of grandfather to take-down all the recordings about the restaurant that circulated in medsos”
Darmawan smiled and laughed
“Hehehe..”
“Why cake, kog laugh?”
“Before you ask, grandpa already ordered grandfather's IT team to do as you ask.”
“Thank you very much Cake!” Rita hugs and kisses her grandfather's cheek
Rita breathed a sigh of relief and her Grandfather smiled happily.
