Santri Famiglia's

Cassava Boss

Kelana immediately said, "Aspetti, signor Aeneas! Sembra che voglia dire qualcosa."

(Hold on, Mr. Aeneas! He seems to want to say something.)

Aeneas lowered his hand. He put the gun back on the table, giving them a chance to talk. Information from them is still very important. Aeneas still needed to hear their testimony in order to crush the threat to its root.

"I have absolutely no intention of hurting Sanum. I was just doing someone's orders. I had to do it because I needed money. Please forgive me!" said the man to be bland.

"Who told you to?" ask Kelana.

"A man" replied the man.

"What's his name?"

"I don't know. He called me with a secret number. The money I received was suddenly in the yard. We never met" the man explained.

The kidnapper's boss also started speaking up after the man opened his mouth. He said, "We're just doing our orders."

Another kidnapper chimed in, "Rubber. There was a woman coming. He gave me a lot of money. We never saw him again."

"What's his name?" tanya Kelana turned to look at the kidnappers.

"We don't know either."

"Do you remember how he looked?" ask Kelana again.

"He didn't show his face" one of the kidnappers replied.

"He wears a mask and sun glasses" added another.

"We knew he had white hair" added another.

This investigation is still deadlocked. Two different people pay a criminal who has nothing to do with it. Kelana also can not guess whether the two messengers are related or not. Kelana conveyed their answers to Aeneas.

The information from the suspects did not help at all. There is no point in holding them for longer. Aeneas again raised the handgun belonging to the kidnapper who had been seized.

Without further ado, Aeneas instantly shot their forehead one by one. After that he left the room without a word. She followed him from behind.

Kelana told the people in the house to clean up the bodies of the criminals who had dared to harass the Aeneas family. Aeneas does not talk much when acting. All his men are required to understand without any orders. Kelana have been accustomed to this condition quite often.

Next, they returned to the hospital and acted as if nothing had happened. Aeneas welcomed his son's embrace with a warm smile. He also devoted his affection to Sanum.

The second week Sanum was admitted, they decided to return to Italy. Sanum is stable enough. Further treatment and treatment will be carried out in Italy.

Thursday morning they landed in Italy. Like when Sanubari first went to Italy, this time they also brought a lot of Indonesian snacks. Sanubari got off the car while eating an extra large pack of spicy cassava chips. Aeneas holds Sanum. Kelana took out the wheelchair folded in the trunk and prepared it in front of Aeneas.

However, Aeneas told Kelana to bring in the wheelchair without passengers. Aeneas kept holding Sanum.

"Madonna!" shouted Sanubari who immediately ran to hug her grandmother.

Nonna is Italian for grandmother. Sanubari used to call Asia that way since it was first introduced. Asia warmly welcomed her new granddaughter. Soon after, Asia stared fiercely at Aeneas who was holding Sanum.

Aeneas felt dejavu. Matilda stood beside her mother. This time the woman did not hug and kiss Aeneas as usual. Maybe because in Aeneas's sling there's Sanum.

"Aeneas, la mamma vuole party."

(Aeneas, I want to talk to you.)

Aeneas lowered Sanum into a wheelchair. Then he told Kelana to bring Sanum and Sanubari. Asia asks Matilda to accompany Sanum. After that they both spoke in separate rooms.

(Why did Mom bring Ilda here again?)

"Da oggi restorative qui.

(From now on he will stay here.)

"The fossa? Non ho detto prima che non l'avrei mai sposata?"

(What? Didn't I tell you that I'd never marry her?)

"Non ti ho detto di sposarla. Rimarra qui per accompagnare e badare a Sanum."

(I didn't tell you to marry her. He will stay here to accompany and guard Sanum.)

"Posso prendermi cura di me stesso."

(I can take care of it myself)

"Cosa puoi far? Fatto perdere a mia mama la sua unica nuora e un nuovo. La moglie incinta stata lasciata. Che cosa hai fatto, eh?"

(Can what? You almost made me lose my only son-in-law and future grandchild. Pregnant wife left behind. What are you doing, huh?)

Aeneas was silent and admitted that he was wrong. As a husband, he paid little attention to his wife.

Actually Aeneas did not agree too much with Asia's proposal. Somehow he did not like the presence of Matilda around Sanum. But he could not fight his mother.

From this day on Matilda lived with the Sanubari family. He painstakingly takes care of Sanum, helps him with road therapy and becomes a tutor for Sanubari. They are getting closer too.

Over the weekend, Sanubari conducted a C1 level Italian language proficiency test. However, he failed. Sanubari had to wait two years to attend public school.

He also became more studious as Kelana threatened that he would have to wait another year if he failed the C1 exam. Sanubari can't wait to quickly expand the friendship network. He wanted to market his checkered cassava to school friends. Dantae who sometimes comes too often he tawari. As a result, Dantae always come home with a lot of cheese cassava. Sometimes Sanubari gives it away for free. Sometimes he also asked Dantae to buy it.

All the Aeneas men who had stopped at the Lake Garda villa no one had ever tried Sanubari cheese cassava. The boy always approached everyone without hesitation. Then, he would have them buy the offered cheese cassava without any sinful taste. Of course the workers working under Aeneas no one could refuse the Boss' favorite son's offer. Aeneas' men began to dub Sanubari as the 'Little Cassava Boss' because of his habit.

*****

Two years later, the United States.

The summer sun is shining. The sound of water splashing dominates in a large room with a transparent roof. The ripples collided with each other in a deep and wide puddle of water.

Sanubari pops its head out of the water. He immediately breathed a lot of air. The water drops, adding to the ripples around him.

"Fourty seconds to two hundred meters," Kelana said, stopping the timer, "this is your best record, Sanu! I think you'll get gold this year too."

"Two gold. That means taking another walk. Yup! Yup! Yes!" Sanubari laughed and raised his hands still floating in the water.

"Street the way you think. Remember that! In September you start school. In December you have a noken schedule" Kelana said.

"That's thought about later. The important thing is I can travel the world by swimming and then make everyone feel the pleasure of cheese cassava." Sanubari laughs.

Kelana sighed. Everywhere the edges of cassava are still carried. Sanubari has never changed from the first time Kelana met him to the present.
