THE BACHELOR?!!

Chapter 23. Ari Truth

Time has shown midnight. Tweet is still up in bed. His body was covered in a thick blanket. His eyes are hard to keep. She was still in great confusion especially when Aunt Rania said something that she thought was very unlikely. His face was still stunned thinking about that. Without realizing it Joseph had been awake since then and was watching him.

"What's wrong? Did I make a mistake that made you unhappy?"

"You're awake? I'm sorry I didn't realize you were awake!"

"You why? How did you talk about that?" Joseph stroked Cicit's face and looked at him gently.

"Actually I was confused thinking about what Aunt Rania said earlier. But for now, I can't tell you that either because I promised not to tell anyone. I was confused too, who was lying? I'm confused myself!" Joseph did not understand what Cicit meant. His forehead wiggling.

"Now I am confused by what my wife said. I don't understand what you mean."

"I'm sorry for speaking so vaguely! Can you come with me tomorrow to meet someone? Also bring Uncle Joni and Aunt Rania, but the stars can't come. I also ask you if until the conditions are chaotic can you protect that person and control Uncle Joni?" Joseph was confused by Cicit's request. Even so, he still agreed to the request of Cicit.

"Yes, get some rest now! If you don't want to rest we continue sports again how?" Joseph scares the great-granddaughter. Finally, the grandchildren agreed to sleep. His eyes slowly began to close in Joseph's arms.

The next morning after the Fajr Prayer, Joseph sent a message to Joni to take Rania away with him. Joseph also said not to take the Star. The great-grandson had also sent a message to the person they were going to destination. The newly married woman also said she was taking others with her. There are important things to discuss.

"Boss, where are we going?" Joni curious.

"I don't know either! You just ask the great-grandchildren!"

"Where are we going, Cit?" Joni is still curious.

"Sorry Uncle I can't tell you now! I hope that after we get to it later, Uncle and Auntie should be able to hold back the emotions huh! This is not sure of the truth! Great-grandchildren only ask for it as uncles and aunts! Promise me!" He asked the two of them to promise. They both nodded in agreement.

"Now fasten your seat belts! I'm sorry in advance because we have to catch up with time! If it's late to eat that person may already be gone and it will take a week to wait for him to come back! I have no patience to wait! As long as I'm driving please don't disturb!" My great-granddaughter is getting ready to step on the gas pedal.

"Bismillbornrohmaaniirrohim!" The car drove quickly. Joseph, Joni, and Rani are shocked. Tweezers turn on the GPS and look for a quiet route. Joseph did not expect that his wife could be so bar-barous. Even so the girl remained extremely dazzling.

Cicit continues to do the car at high speed. Cars begin to slow down as they enter uneven, narrow country roads. Cicit drove his car to the end of the village bordering the forest.

When they arrive, Yusuf, Joni, and Rania are confused as to who they will meet in the small hut. The great-granddaughter asked them to wait in the bale-bale that was on the front of the house. The great-grandson went inside to call the person in question.

When the great-grandson brought out the person in question, at that time Joni was also burned with anger. Joni will immediately hit the person in question, lucky Joseph to avoid it.

"Didn't my uncle promise me that! I know uncle's emotions but can we just sit down and talk nice! Aunt Rania please calm uncle!" The great-granddaughter asks Rania to calm Joni down.

After all was calm, an old woman came out from inside the hut with a drink. That woman is none other than Sindi, Aunt Joni. Joni was surprised to see her aunt. He was confused because before he got married he had takziyah because his aunt died in an accident and only Ari survived.

"Bi. bi! Aunt Sindi! Is this really Aunt Sindi?" Joni rushed straight into his aunt's arms. Sindi who was suddenly hugged could not immediately return Joni's embrace. The savvy great-grandson immediately took the drink from his grandmother's hand. Sindi can now return Joni's embrace. Now they're sitting in bale-bale.

"Aunt Rania! Is there anything you want to say?" Tweet open the voice.

"Yes Great-grandchild! Actually, just now when aunt came down and saw Ari, aunt felt something strange. Aunty felt a different sensation when she met Ari who was here with Ari whom I met first. Aunty is cute but aunty can feel the difference. Actually since a long time ago, aunt also thought why Ari could change so drastically? Is it because of an accident?" Rania is still thinking.

"That's Rania! You don't have to think anymore! Because Ari who came to your wedding and humiliated you wasn't me!" Ari went straight to the point. Cicit was about to tell the events of that day but was detained Ari. Ari meant to tell her herself.

"You remember when you rejected my proposal! After the rejection, I went home. I was going out of town with my mom to do some medicine. Ever since I left the house I have realized that people are following me. That's why I turned the bow to city B. I asked for help from Uncle Krishna. When they arrived in town B they started nudging our car. Striking from the right and left sides. The car lost its balance and as it approached the abyss they deliberately pushed us from behind. God is protecting me and my mother. I woke up after entering the ravine. Since I smelled gasoline, I immediately left with my mother. Troubled I tried to get out of there. When I got the signal, I immediately contacted Uncle Krishna, but was not connected, so was Bima, last I remembered the great-grandson. I called him and asked him to save us. After the treatment is complete, we ask to be hidden. Here we are now!" Ari told me everything.

"Why can Uncle Krishna not know?"

"I'm the one who asked Cicit to keep it a secret."

"Easy! It's already passed! Aunty would rather stay here! More calm and serene. Oh, yes Jon! How's your dad doing? If you had listened to your father's words it probably wouldn't have been like this!"

"Dad is fine! What does aunt mean? Joni doesn't understand!"

"Auntie used to really like your dad. But your father refused aunt. He said there were others who loved auntie more. Your father said he was very close to your father. At the time, I didn't know who your father meant. Until the day of your aunt's wedding with your uncle, your aunt realized that what your father meant was Hengki, your father's friend. Neither did you know that your uncle married your aunt just to heat up your father. Stop thinking that aunt rejected your father's love. Aunty only found out that Singgih was a bad person after Ari was 5 years old. Stop poisoning your father until he has to hand over the company to Singgih and leave the house for treatment. Since then aunt has lost love for Singgih and survived only for Ari's sake. It's unexpected that the more days, your uncle is getting out of control. He even brought a woman home and married her. She did not like the existence of her aunt. That's why he hurt aunty by poisoning an aunt. The goal is only the Wardhana family's estate. Maybe after he gets everything, your uncle will also be eliminated!"

"Why does my aunt think that?"

"Auntie heard it for herself when Marcella called someone. He said to be patient, until we get all of Wardhana's possessions, that woman will get rid of Singgih!"

"It's clear that Ari who came at Uncle's wedding is not this Ari. There's a man who disguised himself as Ari and carried out a bombing on you!" The great-grandfather finally found a bright spot.

"Bombing? You bombed?" Ari was surprised to hear the words of the great-grandson.

"Yes! it happened 5 years ago. A few months after we got married. We suspect you did the bombing because Rania was rejected! But now you are clean. It's just that we're still confused who did it?"

"Rania! Do you remember besides me there's no one you've ever rejected?"

"What yes? I don't even remember anyone else!" Rania tried to remember but still did not remember.

"You are yes! Your habit of forgetting the bad and remembering the good has not changed? Did you forget how you met Joni?" Ari tried to remind Rania.

"If I first met Joni, of course I remember! I may have forgotten my hero! My savior! Then what do you mean?" Rania still doesn't understand.

"Oh my God, my Lord! Rania! You are officially very good! You still remember the same person who almost desecrated you back then, right?" Ari almost ran out of patience to face Rania. It turns out that not only Joni can be impatient if faced with Rania.

"of course! That bastard Dika Setiawan right! How could I have forgotten! Since you brought that up again, it feels like I tore it apart! You mean, he's the one who tried to bomb us and pretend to be you?" Ari nodded steadily.

"Why do you think that?" Joni doesn't understand that much.

"I mean Ari, Dika it could be Ari because Wardhana's current mistress is from the Setiawan Family isn't it?" Yusuf understood Ari's intentions.

"Why are they struggling to get rid of my family, haven't you given up a long time ago?" Joni still doesn't understand.

"Of course to get resources intact for other purposes, for example to defeat other families or revenge to other families or to enrich themselves again can also be. The point is because the original heir of the Wardhana Family is you, of course you should be put away. As for Ari, it was only to get rid of the heirs of Singgih, after Singgih later did not exist and the Joni Family did not exist then all the Wardhana treasures could be obtained in full. You forgot what Wardhana's business is like? It was comparable to the wealth of the Winata Group and Natakusuma. You know what, Jon? Otherwise, you I send to training again later!" Yusuf was upset with Joni who did not understand either.

"Hmmm... Setiawan? It seems like Grandpa Surya once mentioned about the Setiawan Family. Grandpa Krishna also told that the Setiawan Family had almost harmed Grandpa Surya. If what Yusuf said was true, then right now the Setiawan Family is drawing up a plan for revenge with the Dinata Family!" Tweet started to analyze the situation.

"I know the Setiawan Family no longer has power. It could be said that the Setiawan Dynasty had collapsed. But, the remains of the people there may still be some that survive. Like Dika Setiawan also the Cambodian was if not wrong his mother was also from the Setiawan Family. His mother's name if it's not wrong White Cempaka." Yusuf knew that because Andre had mentioned about the matchmaking with Magnolia.

"Jon, I have a task for you! Investigate everything clearly! Because I also have a bad feeling about this! I'm afraid their target is not only the Dinata Family but also the Winata extended family!" Yusuf always had a sharp feeling of something that usually never misses.

"Let's not forget to send a big family reunion invitation! We haven't been together for a long time!"

"Ready boss! What about the wedding reception?"

"If that's just let the elders set up!"

"Ready boss!"

"Uncle Ari, can you come to Cicit's wedding reception?"

"Actually want to come! But as the matter gets more and more complicated, uncle apologized for not attending! Uncle should prioritize grandma's safety as well...!" Ari's speech was cut off because someone called her.

"Mas Ari! What's wrong with rame once?" A woman was standing in front of the bamboo gate.

Ari immediately picked up the woman. The woman who was pregnant was confused by the crowd in her house.

"This is the main reason I can't be present in your recipe. I'm afraid I can't guarantee the safety that's in my stomach! This is my wife, her name is Dahlia! Dahlia, this is my niece, great-grandson! That's her husband, Yusuf! Well this is Joni my cousin and his wife, Rania!" Dahlia greeted everyone there.

"Oo.. So this is Mba Rania! Who ever refused Mas Ari yes, hehe! Rania is so beautiful! Worth the Ari persimmon, hehe!" Dahlia taunts her husband.

"That first! Now of course you are the most beautiful!" Ari replies to Dahlia by looking at her chin.

"His brother brought me a really nice car like this! Don't you think rich people are real?" Ari had only claimed to be an honorary teacher. The man never told his wife the truth.

"Are you sorry you got married?"

"Dahlia never regretted marriage to Mas Ari! Wherever Mas Ari is, Dahlia is still in love! If Mas is from the family, Dahlia just wonder why mas can be here? Why would you marry a poor Dahlia?"

"Marry with Dahlia because of Dahlia's love! It has nothing to do with treasure! If you're a rich man, doesn't Dahlia want to be a rich man?"

"Dahlia doesn't want to! Only yes if Dahlia see in the soap opera that yes, so the rich really complicated huh! Some are kidnapped continue to be killed just for the sake of treasure! Why be rich if life is the bet! The usual mending is like gini! And again, mas! Dahlia doesn't want that Si Bu Tedjo! The New Rich Man! Every day showing off mulu already so mouth nyinyir mulu. Ih Dahlia don't want to like that!" Everyone chuckled at Dahlia's reply. A girl who is very compatible with Ari.

"Yes baby! I know how!"

"O yes, my! Before leaving, the TV antenna is covered, strong checked so that the rain does not shake! So Dahlia's just like you can watch it!"

"The gas is not going! It just so happens that there is a new teacher who came to replace the mas for a while! Take care of you before you give birth!"

"Yes, so sweet!"

That romantic scene clearly made the two partners in front of him jealous. Joseph cleared his throat to stop them.

"Hum.. hem...! Haredang ya!" Joseph insinuated them.

"Eh, Mr. Yusuf is hot! Mas how the hell? Guests are not asked to drink!" Dahlia misunderstood Joseph's intentions.

"Because it's here you should eat first just go home! O yes Jon, you used to say you want to have a house in the countryside. There's land to sell, you want it? How about we take a walk to look around! Let the ladies cook! When it's ripe, just call!"

"Yes to Joni! You guys just take a walk! Rania'll call when she's ready!"

Joni agrees to Ari's proposal. Together with Joseph saw the land that Ari told him about. The women are busy cooking. They look cheerful especially if not the adorable behavior of Dahlia.

"Ri, don't you want to go back to your old life?" Joni asked Ari.

"It used to be, but now I don't want to. Dahlia taught me a lot that we want to be rich or poor what matters is gratitude and love."

"Where are Dahlia's parents?" Joseph asked now.

"They're dead. The Dahlia family was very poor. After his parents died, he lived with his drunken uncle. Dahlia was sold for money. I met him on my way home from school. I saw his clothes tattered and chased by people. In order to remove his tracks, I made footprints at the mouth of the ravine. They thought Dahlia was dead slipping in the ravine. I've also confirmed Dahlia's identity through the great-grandson. The great-granddaughter said she was clean and a victim of human trafficking."

"Pity his fate!" Joseph was eager to hear Ari's story about Dahlia.

"Yes! His fate is worse than mine! That's also why I want to protect her. She's so adorable anyway!" Ari smiled broadly as she said the last sentence.

Before long Rania called Joni, telling her that the cooking was ready. Joni, Yusuf, and Ari rushed home. Joseph's eyes sparkled as he looked at the dish on the table. All his favorite food.

"Sir Joseph, I'm sorry! It's just food like this! Vegetable asem, salted fish, tofu tempeh, sambel terasi, same pete!" Dahlia felt bad about providing a simple meal for her guests. But how else is that all there is.

"No need to apologize! These are all my favorite foods! Especially the big map! There's more, right? I want to take it home for souvenirs!" Joseph smiled happily at all the dishes.

"Calm down sir! There's plenty in the trees. Just get picked later! Let's all eat!" Dahlia invites her guests to eat. Chirping rice for her husband. Yusuf shamelessly sipped the asem vegetable soup from his bowl directly. I don't know how many pete boards he ate. I don't know how many rice dishes he ate. Joseph enjoyed the food today.

"What about Joseph? full yet? Sorry, I can't eat anymore. But the rice is over! If you still want to eat, just wait to cook first!" Dahlia was happy to have her guests eating at her house. It's just that he was confused that Joseph wanted to eat again, the problem was that the rice was also gone. Even so Dahlia still tried to please her guests.

"Not bother! I am full! Thank you!"

Shortly afterwards came a pick up car with a pot. Dahlia who heard the sound of a car horn walked out of the house followed by Ari and the others.

"The sembako message? How much so that we're getting all of them!" Dahlia was amazed by the sembako car that was now parked in her yard.

"Got ah! Not yet payday where dare mas order sembako!" Ari denied.

"That's a gift from me! With a big belly so do not go too far even just to go to the stall!" Joseph told them.

"Oh God! Hatur nuhun oruh sir!" Dahlia was very pleased with the new fortune she received.

"O yes I asked for a photo of your ID card coffee. I plan to enroll Dahlia in a nearby hospital. I see the puskesmas here are also inadequate even the midwife house is also far away. What if after this you are ready to go to the hospital? Cicit said that during cooking your wife's stomach has started to hurt often. Worrying about giving birth is getting closer. Better get ready!" Joseph reminded Ari to act quickly. Without a second thought Ari immediately prepared everything needed. Sure enough shortly after getting ready Dahlia began to feel pain again in her stomach.

Everyone gets in the car. The great-grandson who drives the car. Coincidentally Cicit has often been there so a little poultice with the city. Ari clasped Dahlia's hand. His face looks panicked. So too with Ms. Sindi. Joni and Rania tried to calm them down in the back. About half an hour later they arrived at the hospital. Only 10 minutes later, Dahlia gave birth. They're really relieved. After completing their administration, they went home.
