Part 36: Breaking the Boundary

"Aren't there a lot of work in the office now, Fan?" asked Erwin to Refan who was focusing on driving.

"It just so happens that I'm on leave, sir," replied Refan smiling.

"Don't call me, Father!" erwin said while confirming the location of Zahra's head that was leaning on his shoulder to make it more comfortable. The woman fell asleep, because the journey from Jakarta to Malang was quite far and tiring.

"Actually I was told by Mr. Dendy to see Mr."

"Why?"

"I want to inform you, that.." Refan let out a long sigh while braking his car because of the red light. "Pak Dendy's company is bankrupt."

"How come? The company's products are no longer on the rise. The features inside his phone are also advanced. It's impossible if they lose the competition in sales." Erwin looked surprised.

"In terms of sales, our products still dominate the market. But, Mr. Rustam has hacked the entire system in the company. So that the income that goes into the stock account flows into his account."

"Not only that, Mr. Rustam has also shared some system secrets on our products to outsiders via email."

Erwin pensive.

"I think you can understand after hearing the story," continued Refan glanced at Erwin from the rearview mirror.

"That's why Rustam and Viola escaped to Paris and couldn't be reached?" erwin asked with an intimidating look.

"Rubber." Refan nodded. "Sir Dendy asked Father for help. To return to being CEO of his company."

"I can't, Fan."

"Please, sir, at least to help companies create new systems so that their data can no longer be hacked or hacked by hackers." Refan pleaded with Erwin.

Erwin seemed to think.

"We're all asking for help, sir. Only the Father can count on. We need your father's intelligence."

"I don't deserve to hold that office, Fan."

"How many times has Mr. Dendy said that he has considered the Father as his own son. Although, Father is no longer his son-in-law. I hope you appreciate Mr. Dendy who already considers the Father as his own son."

Erwin admits that Refan is good at seducing people. In the past, when Erwin married Zahra was the idea of Refan. Although Erwin had refused, but Refan continued to seduce Erwin to obey his crazy idea that still for Erwin is a sin. For intending to marry Zahra just because to rival Viola's cheating.

"So, Sir?''

"Hufftt, yeah." Erwin nodded. Demi, helping people.

"Then what about Viola now?" erwin asked Refan.

"There's no news at all from Viola's mom."

"Didn't anyone follow him to Paris?" ask Erwin to worry.

"They must be fine, sir. They just ran away."

"But Rustam is dangerous, Fan. What about Rena's fate? Still remember Rustam's plan to get some people to fill me up last time?"

Reflections on Erwin's speech. "Sir Dendy must have other plans to save her daughter."

"But what about Rena, my son, Fan?" Erwin raised his tone. Before he could take part, dousing the flames of his anger. He must be aware that everything that happens is God's will.

After traveling for about three hours, finally Erwin's car arrived at a village located in Malang district of East Java, where Erwin's parents lived.

Erwin felt a deep longing for Rena. So that his little heart realized Erwin that both his parents also felt the same longing for him.

"Start, Mom." Zahra confirmed the location of her messy hood before getting out of the car.

The cup!

Erwin kissed Zahra's forehead gently then smiled. "Let's be more excited to see Mom."

The three got out of the car and knocked on the door. Erwin smiled at the thought of his childhood playing hide-and-seek with his cousins, and behind the henhouse was always his favorite place to hide. It would be great if he went back to childhood. Living quietly, when asking for toys during a neighbor's celebration is the only problem that makes him cry. Everything in this house seems to put Erwin on a time bomb that was pulled back. 

"Where was I?" murmured Erwin in the heart.

"Mas" Zahra nudged Erwin to wake up from his daydream.

"Eh, yeah, what?" ask Erwin clumsily.

"I'm afraid of scolding your mother." Zahra put on a face that was so adorable for Erwin.

"Why should my mom be angry?" asked Erwin to hold back a laugh.

"I'll be suspected of being a bad actor again." Zahra ************* the game is nervous.

"My mom knows all the stories. You forget that I sometimes call Mom late at night?"

"Yes, right, take it, Mas." Zahra pouting.

"I fuss over the dam, huh?"

"Issh, I'm a child." Zahra pinched Erwin's arm. Erwin laughs.

Repan knocked on the door many times, but the owner did not open the door.

"Try me to call." Erwin grabbed his phone in his pants pocket. Not yet had time to press the dial button, there was a girl in school uniform into the courtyard of the house riding his duck motorcycle.

The girl called Zifa gawked at Erwin, to the point of hitting the chicken coop beside the house. The girl cursed because she did not focus on riding her motorcycle. Fortunately, it did not fall.

Erwin, Zahra, and Refan laughed. "Awas nabrak!" erwin yelled at his youngest brother.

"Udah hit!" Zifa snorted then took off her helmet. The girl approached Erwin with a look of longing.

"Here's no news, brother." Zifa hugged Erwin then kissed his hand. "If you know here, you must have cut chicken."

"Where are you going?" ask Erwin.

"Hmm, I don't think I'm going back to school yet."   Zifa turned towards Zahra and and Refan. "This is his personal driver, brother?" tanya Zifa pointed at Refan, whom Erwin replied with a nod.

"Well, if this." Zifa shook hands with Zahra awkwardly.

"This is Brother's wife."

"Huh? So, is this what you call Brother Zahra?" Zifa looked up at Zahra.

"Kok, cute gini like a high school boy." Zifa pinched Zahra's adorable cheek.

"Don't be polite!" Erwin glares.

Zahra smiled sweetly, so sweet that the lizards on the wall quietly crept a mosquito, hap, and then caught.

"So cool, go find a wife." Zifa was amazed to see the beauty of Zahra.

Erwin smiled. Not wanting to explain to Zifa that she and Zahra were the same age, perhaps a year older than Zahra.

"Eh, come on in!" Zifa opened the locked door and let them in.

The atmosphere inside the house remains the same as it used to be, although there are some renovated interiors. Erwin and Zahra lay her body on the sofa stretching her stiff muscles because they had just traveled a long way.They decided to take a short nap while waiting for Father and Mother Erwin to come home from school.

Erwin's father did prefer to stay in the village and become an ordinary person. Instead of having to continue his parents' business in town.

Fortunately, Erwin as the grandson wanted to continue the struggle of his grandfather.

"The same miss Papa, Ma!" Rena continues to whine in Viola's arms.

"If you cry, you won't see Papa." Viola snapped at Rena annoyed. "Luapin your Papa!"

Rustam came out of the room while carrying a broom handle. "I'm dizzy to see you cry!"

Plaque!

Rustam hit Rena with a broomstick without mercy.

"Rena!" yelled Erwin taut.

"Erwin…"

The soft voice woke Erwin from his sleep. Just a short sleep had made Erwin sweat, the cusp of his fatigue to the point of not realizing if everyone was staring at him.

"Why does your sleep seem so restless?" ask the hooded woman.

"Mother.." Erwin immediately kissed his mother's hands sincerely then hugged her tightly, letting go of her longing. Erwin till he shed his tears.

"Sorry, Erwin, Mom." Erwin tightened his embrace. Zahra looked overwhelmed.

"I'm sorry, why? Your people aren't wrong?" his mother replied confused. What a soft hand that makes Erwin miss.

Erwin took off his embrace and turned to his father. "Sir, Erwin kangen the same father." Erwin immediately hugged the body of someone who was always doing anything for him. Although now the body looks fragile and not as strong as before, but still he is a hero for Erwin.

"Why are you, anyway, Win?" His mother rubbed Erwin's back.

"Now Erwin understands, Mom, it's like missing a child." Erwin sat back down and wiped his tears.

"Owh." Mother smiled. "Doain the best so that your child is okay with his mother."

"Owh, we're cooking, yuk!" Zifa tried to divert the atmosphere that had happened.

"Come, we're eating, yeah, today." His mother answered enthusiastically. "Mbak Zahra said pinter cook." Erwin's mother pinched Zahra's cheek.

"Come, brother, we're going to the kitchen." Zifa pulled Zahra into the kitchen.

"Sometimes in our lives it must be ready to accept suffering. When we pedal a bike to climb a mountain, it's not heavy?" ask Erwin's mother. Erwin and Refan's father observed enthusiastically.

Erwin nodded slowly.

"What should you do if you ride a bike up a mountain? Sad what's happy?"

Erwin fell silent.

"You should be happy. Because soon you get to the top, and your load will feel light because you will slide smoothly when you go home, even though your bike is not pedaled but certainly can get to the bottom easily."

"That means, if you pedal a mountain bike you should feel happy, because soon you will get to the top of happiness, then again continue the journey smoothly because back down from the mountain without difficulty. At that time, you should not be overwhelmed with happiness. Because after going down the mountain, there is another mountain that you have to pass. That's life, son. As long as we live, we will always go up and down the mountain."

Erwin's mother patted Erwin's shoulder. At that moment Erwin felt homesick with his mother's soothing joys.
