In the afternoon, Lidya's mother distributed the souvenirs she brought from the city to her entire family there.
Lastri and Grandma Mirna got a 10-gram gold pendant that she had prepared long ago. And two sets of nice clothes for formal occasions.
At first Lastri refused but not Lidya Sumitra his name if he could not force his will.
The guest room of Lastri assisted Mang Darman and mbak Susi began to prepare picnic needs later in the afternoon to the river. The plan is they'll build a tent there and throw a barbeque party. Because the weather is good.
"Bun, in the river there will be no crocodiles, right?" Ask Lala plain.
"No, baby" Dayana answered while tucking a digital thermometer in Lala's armpit.
"Who said no ad, there is a culture "between mother Lidya
"What a fact, oma. Lala was scared" Lala said shuddering in horror
"The weather, it's nongol first" mother Lidya glanced at Ronny who came out of the room.
"That's an oma" said Lala
"Yes.papa you know the culture. Land crocodile.ahhahahahaa" mother Lidya chuckles crisp herself with her jokes.
Ronny was shocked by the subtle-syndirism of his mother. He could only scratch his head without itching.
"Dad ...later cosplay dad so crocodile yes" plain Lala pinta.
"Loh, why?" Ronny is confused
"Where knows there is a female crocodile approaching, akkwkaka" joked Lala no less crisp with his oma.
Oma and Lala raised their hands for the high five . They're both compact when it comes to bothering Ronny.
The beep sound of the digital thermometer indicates the temperature measurement has been completed.
Lala's body temperature has dropped unlike yesterday. And now Lala has started interacting with the family as usual. It was just that he was still a little afraid of the person he had just met.
Usually Lala can be easily familiar when there is a family that he just knew. Dayana hopes her daughter Lala will grow up well without traumatizing her memory.
At 3 p.m., it was time for them to go on a picnic to the river. Mirna's grandmother lives at home with Lastri.
Lastri's husband Nanang joined the picnic group and will return home in the evening. Nanang uses a motorcycle to follow the car that Ronny brought.
Children play in the water beside the river. They were very happy to enjoy the afternoon.
Dayana, Lidya's mother and Susi's mother prepared the ingredients for the barbeque and steamboat party that night, formulated and marinated so that the seasoning soaked well into the chicken and goat meat to be burned.
After finishing with the concocting activities, the three women came down to the river playing water, while the men built a tent for them to sleep later.
That happy afternoon made Lala slightly forget her trauma. Nosy and ugly nature again appeared when he saw a fish jumping in the middle of the river.
"Lala don't go in the middle" forbid the mother
"Awhile bun" Lala did not stop stepping over the river rocks. Ronny stepped even faster behind Lala.
"Lala... You can't say yes" Ronny lifted the little body of his daughter to his shoulder swiftly.
"Yahh ayaaaahhh... Kasian's the fish" Lala upset to come down from her father's sling.
"Why fish?" Ronny asked continuously walking to the riverbank.
"Lala wants to see the fish drown" he said innocently
"Fish do live in water, Lala"
"You don't look for strange reasons" Ronny said.
Lala pouted, even though she wanted to try swimming in the river but was thwarted by her father.
Lala did not understand that her body was still small. Mana may be able to withstand the flow of the river even though it is not so swift.
Lala thought if she had strong determination then all the things would be passed easily. What a naive thing that innocent boy is.
This beautiful afternoon, Mother Lidya made a dish and lemon water became an appetizing snack for families who were on vacation. Even Lala and Mbak Susi can fight fast in the rujak eating race.
"aaaaahhh, there's a crocodileaaa" shouted Lala suddenly pointing towards the river.
everyone reflexively looked in the designated direction with a face that was already pale in fear.
They observed the area around which Lala pointed, but there was no movement whatsoever.
"Lala... you are so insolent yes" her booming oma screams made the birds that perched on the trees around them fly.
It turned out that Lala sneakyly brought a large plate of curry contents away from her family to eat it herself.
Lala hid behind a small tent set up by her father. Lala giggled amused herself to ignore the angry chatter of her oma.
In the midst of this happy activity, they do not realize that someone is peeping at them.
"I'll crush you soon Dayana" he grumbled his teeth
****
Dingh.dong.
"Good afternoon Mr. Bayu.please enter, it is awaited in the workspace" said Ita when opening the door of the house.
"Thank you, ma'am" replied Bayu politely
Uncle Bayu immediately headed for Johan Barata's study. He knocked on the door first.
"Get in.." said Jo's father from the inside.
"Good afternoon, Jo" Bayu came to Jo's father who was still checking some files in his hand.
"Sore is also Mr. Bayu" replied Jo's father to welcome Bayu's hand as his besi.
"How is it going" asked Bayu without further ado.
"It's been your suspicion all along"
"They've been hiding well all this time. It seems like fate is directly leading us to make a fortress" said Jo sayu's father.
"Until when can we hide this from Dayana".
"I think it's better that Dayana and Ronny know the truth so that they also prepare themselves to protect themselves from a great tragedy" Bayu's uncle suggested
"Maybe after they get back on vacation, we'll tell them. We need more evidence" Jo's father said
"The detective I hired, hasn't been able to capture a picture of his face clearly"
Jo's father gave some photos and opened the recording on his flash.
"The mad man covered his face with a mask. So it's not easy to recognize" added Jo's father.
"Now he has built his own business. Become a rival of this family business"
"It is fitting that he directly targets Barata company the day they start the business. It turned out that the madman wanted to destroy from the outside and in the family he had stopped by" complained Jo's father at length.
"What about the address? Did you get it? I will ask for help from some of my acquaintances" urged Bayu to further speed up the anticipation steps.
"Here's the address" Jo's father sent the address to uncle Bayu's cell phone.
Dying...
Notification of incoming messages, Bayu hurriedly read them. Then smile in annoyance..
"It turns out he's never been far" Bayu grumbled
"Right, he's been watching us all this time" Jo's father's face turned dark.
"alright, I have to say goodbye now, Johan"
"i have to start my own part" said uncle Bayu encouragingly.
"alright, Mr. Bayu. Please help her.." ointa Jo's father was humble.
"Dayana is my daughter, my duty is to protect her happiness and life" Bayu said.
What a disaster will befall his family. It felt, his old body was tired of the tragedy that came and went.
