Al had been in a taxi for nearly five minutes, waiting for Robby to get out of his parents' house and let him in.
"Anybody, why does he have to permit Barent first. Wouldn't I go into my own house, see my Papa?" Grieved annoyance.
"Awhile, sir. Later I added the bonus," pinta Al on taxi drivers who already look restless.
"Yes, sir I've been pressing up. Fear of being ordered again," explained the driver.
"Oh so. Turn off the app first. If I hadn't met, I'd charter to that place,"
"Alhamdulillah, fine sir," exclaimed the man so pleased. Al took the wallet out of his pants pocket, he pulled 3 pieces of money a hundred thousand and gave it to the driver pack.
"This, sir,"
With a face of wonder and doubt, the man looked at Al seriously. He has not extended his hand yet,
"Mostly, that. The cost is only 55k, "the man pointed to the app he just opened. There's a nominal amount to be paid by Al.
"Udah accept it, itung-itung sustenance father," Al gave an excuse.
"Wow, I can't refuse if it's like this. Thank you, sir. Hope the recovery gets better,"
"Amijin,"
The car door was knocked, Al could see Robby and his stepbrother were already standing on the side of the car. Barent gave the code for Al to open the door.
"We talk outside, let's walk, sir" Barent ordered as soon as he sat down beside Al.
"Why can't I see him? I saw Naria was out a few hours ago,"
"They were noisy this morning, Dad was still angry and locked himself in the study. I don't want to bother him" explained Barent.
"Let me do the talking" forced Al
"Not now, you can come back next time,"
Al lazy to argue, he chose to stay silent and let the car drive away from the luxury housing complex.
"It's good to see you again" Barent opened the conversation. His left hand patted Al's thigh slowly.
"You're shocked?" tanya Al probing. He removed Barent's hand from his lap.
"Why think that?" Barent asked back. He was quite offended to get such a response.
"I'll make sure you know what happened 10 years ago, but you didn't talk to Papa. Let Mary hysterical until she lets me go,"
"You know for yourself, if she's angry no one can stop her, even if she has to lose her life. I shut up so mom can be quieter and use her logic, but you're out,"
"Hemmmm.. ten years old, the acting is still amateurish," whispered Al inwardly.
"Is Papa still in Sudirman?" al asked his half-brother.
"Rarely, a week isn't necessarily going there?"
"Why?" ask Al curiously.
"His disease wanted him to have more rest at home" Al was quite choked. He did not know that his father was sick. He could see the man was healthy.
"Who takes care of his business,"
"You don't have to worry. For a while I've been taking care of everything the last three years,"
"Dad had a stroke not years ago, although he looked fine but could not think hard. That's why I'm asking you to talk outside. I'll tell Dad if you want to see me, but not now. I'm afraid he dropped again,"
"I came here 3 days ago and talked to him with four eyes,"
"Oh, yes," Barent put on his shocked face.
"Damn it, again acting amateurs,"
"I'm sure you know who it is from. I can make sure the people who followed me these few days are your people, right?"
"You're still suspicious of me?" Elak Barent's.
"Not suspicious, that's a fact. Do I need to break his hand let you believe," Al grew furious at Barent's attitude of not admitting his actions.
"Sir, we're down at the cafe ahead of us" Brent told the driver.
"Good, sir,"
Arriving at the cafe in question, Al followed Brent who first got off the car. He also walked behind Barent, following his steps towards the private room on the right side of the cafe.
"Please" Barent pulled the chair and let Al sit down. Before long he called the waiter and made an order. Al smiled wryly as Barent ordered his favorite food and drinks.
"I remember very well you loved seafood fried rice and dragon fruit juice" Barent said as he handed the order list to the waiter waiting beside them.
"The company I run Dad's business with, I'll keep this a secret from Mom until she can take you back,"
"Receive me? Do you realize what you're saying. Everything you enjoy right now belongs to my father. You have no rights as long as he is alive. Remember that! You're only given the confidence to manage it instead of feeling like you have it," Al's tone began to be unfriendly when he heard Brent's words that offended him.
"I'm not asking for anything from Papa, as long as he's healthy and wants to believe that I'm not as bad as he thinks, that's enough. If you want to take what you have right now, go ahead. I won't mind it," Al was forced to talk like that to provoke Barent's emotions.
"What is your current job?" ask Barent seriously.
"It's none of your business. I can live and not be a beggar that's enough,"
"Sorry,"
"For what? You're aware of your mother's mistake?"
"You have to trust me. I didn't know anything ten years ago. What business is it that snare mom to the bars and make you khilaf want to wipe out Om Ryan's life, I don't know at all,"
"I can't believe you're much older than me. Your brain must be smarter than you, too" Al's getting cynical.
"Trust me, I've been trying to be honest with you,"
Al did not reply, he immediately grabbed the Drink that had just been placed on the table by the servant. Al sipped the dragon fruit juice slowly. He likes this drink because the mother often makes it and also Papa.
"Well, Ryan is alive" asked Al. He put the glass on the table.
"Still, his life was saved,"
"Why did he keep his mouth shut?"
"I don't know. Since then, he has never appeared at home again,"
"Is he your father?"
"Why do you think so" asked Barent puzzled.
"You have a similar nature,"
"Ha.ha. But why did it come down like this. Similarities from Hong Kong," joked Barent,"
"I'll find out about that,"
"Al, stop to ignite this hostility. Although not blood, we are brothers,"
"Hem...," Al just muttered. He was actually lazy to linger with this man. Finally choose silence and let Brent ngockeh not care.
The man kept asking her to work to help him manage his father's discotheque. Barent deliberately persuaded Al to be able to monitor the activities of his stepbrother more easily, not because he really wanted it.
