THE BACHELOR?!!

Chapter 24. Ari Truth (2)

Adzan Ashar. Time showed the afternoon. Joseph invited his wife to pray Ashar. And so is Joni. After the prayer they did not go straight away. Joseph asked them to take shelter under a tree. Actually since coming to Ari's house, Yusuf felt there was something strange with Ari. It was just that he did not dare to reveal it. Somehow also every time he remembered Ari, he felt a bad feeling approaching.

"Jon, which one of your people is in the area around here?" Yusuf tried to take preventive action on his premonition.

"What's the boss? How come all of a sudden...?" joni's words were cut off by Joseph.

"Who's Jon?" This time Joseph said with great emphasis.

Joni who saw Joseph's face turned sinister to fear. "Jajang boss!"

"Make him here in 10 minutes. Now too!"

"Ready boss!" Joni immediately contacted Jajang. Jajang was not far from the hospital. Directly to the designated location. She was amazed at her husband's behavior. He refrained from asking. It's better later if you're back in the room.

Five minutes passed, Jajang had arrived in front of Joni.

"What's up, Jon? How did tumben call me?" Jajang wondered what purpose Joni was calling him.

"The boss wants to give you a job! Hit the Boss!" Joni and Jajang went to meet Joseph.

"Can I help you, boss?" Jajang direct to the point.

"You keep an eye on the patient in the VIP maternity room in room 305! I want a full report without exception! If there is a direct attack evacuate them to the usual place! If you need someone else just do it!" Joni was shocked when Yusuf told the patient in room 305. Ari and her family were in the room. Joni wondered in her heart the reason Joseph did the act.

"Ready boss!"

"O yes 3 more days if there is no obstruction they will go home. Safely escort them and protect them from afar!" Yusuf recalls the return of the Ari family.

"Ready boss!"

"Yes you can go!" Jajang immediately went to carry out his duties.

The great-granddaughter felt there was a strong reason Joseph did that. He will ask her in the room. After that, they went straight to the hotel. Before leaving, Joseph asked Joni important things.

"Jon, how are you preparing tomorrow? Already settled?"

"Ready! Beres boss! Just wait for the boss to come!"

"Good! This month I doubled the bonus!"

"Thank you boss!"

Joni immediately drove a car to the hotel Dinata. It was almost two hours drive to the hotel. Time is almost showing magrib time. They went straight to their rooms. Not to mention the great-grandson had asked about Joseph's attitude earlier they had been summoned by the elders in the dining room. Tweet so I asked. Joseph understood their calling.

"Where are you going? Don't say it again!" Mama Aiu who opens with a typical tinge of mother-mak.

"Former race with Sri!" Bima who was eating watermelon was surprised. Lucky not to choke.

"Squeaks!" Bima immediately sounded a bit high. The great-granddaughter who heard his father's voice was just grinning. Because Cicit has promised not to speed while driving a car.

"Sorry dad! That was the case, hehe!" Tweet scratched his head that was not itchy.

"Reason! You promised! You...!" Bima's nagging was cut off by Joseph.

"Bima's Father! Is there a reason why Sri did that? If it wasn't for Cicit's expertise maybe we'd be late to meet an important person!" Bima defends Cicit.

"Important person? Who?" Bima wondered who the person meant.

"Ari Wardhana and Sindi Azahra!" Joseph's reply made everyone surprised. They were shocked that they knew Sindi was dead.

"How is it possible? Isn't Sindi dead?" General Krishna did not believe what he heard.

"That's right cake! Grandma Sindi is alive! The Ari Wardhana we met earlier wasn't Ari who used to hang around in magazines!" The tweet again surprised them.

"Cicit apologizes for not telling father, mother, and grandfather because of Uncle Ari's request. All this time they lived quietly and peacefully in a hidden place. O yes today also we helped Uncle Ari's wife give birth!"

To corroborate the information conveyed by Cicit, Yusuf showed photos of them as they gathered after lunch. Krishna and Doni look at the photo. They finally believed what Joseph said.

"If the one who wanders around is not the real Ari, then who is he?" Bima is confused. Although they are distant brothers and Bima is also not too close, but still there is a sense of compassion for them after listening to the story of Cicit 5 years ago.

"It's possible that she's Dika Setiawan, although not entirely certain, but my instinct says so!" Yusuf assumes.

"Dad! Setiawan Family!" Mr. Surya shook his head in disbelief if time could not even erase the grudge.

"What's Surya?" ask Krishna curiously.

"Have you forgotten the death of Budi Setiawan and his companion Mr. Vincent's been jailed for life?" Mr. Surya tried to remind Krishna again about the events that occurred 30 years ago.

"Astaghfiullah! Though time has passed for so long, why isn't the grudge gone as well?" Bima recalls his mission with Laras 30 years ago.

"What happened 30 years ago?" Adrian was curious about the incident.

"30 years ago we lost our best friend, Budi Setiawan. With the death of Budi Setiawan and the capture of Budi's parents, all Setiawan Family businesses were destroyed. There was also an American investor arrested and sentenced to life, Mr. Vincent on the human trafficking and drug trafficking case!" Mr. Surya explained briefly.

"It looks like there's going to be a storm coming back!" Andre implies something bad is going to happen.

"Therefore Ucup asks Joni to hold a reunion next week! It has not been a long time since we have gathered together! Ucup hopes Grandpa Surya, Grandpa Krishna, father and mother are also present! Hopefully everyone can be present. No, everyone must attend! Jon, add it to the Urgent invitation level 5!"

"Ready boss!"

"O yes Uncle Doni, I feel there is something strange when I see Ari! I met Singgih Wardhana. I wonder why Ari's face does not resemble Singgih's? They look very different!"

"You're right! They are not similar! More precisely Ari is not a child Singgih!" Doni's face looked up considering what happened decades ago.

"When Singgih and Sindi got married, I only saw the happy face of Sindi! I just feel that Singgih's decision to marry Sindi is nothing but to make me angry! Stop thinking that I've been rejected by Sindi. Actually contrary. Sindi I refused. I told her that there was someone who loved her very much. Sindi mistakenly thought that Singgihlah was the one. The person I was referring to was Hengki Gunawan. At their wedding, Hengki came and saw them from the balcony. It was unexpected that Singgih had prepared a grand plan to expel me from the Wardhana Family by making a scandal. That night without us noticing, my drink was already inserted stimulant drugs. So too with Sindi drinks. Unintentionally Hengki who was sad even drank my drink. After that we went back to our own rooms." Doni paused for a moment and sipped a glass of water.

"When dawn came, Doni rushed into my room! He's like a confused man! I asked him. He said he had slept with Sindi and desecrated her. He told me that after we separated, he met Sindi who was staggered. Finally Hengki took Sindi to his room. Hengki told me why at that time his body also felt uncomfortable. Seeing Sindi who was also clinging to him, they unconsciously did so. When the adhan Subuh reverberated, Hengki immediately woke up and realized he was beside Sindi without clothes. He got dressed and ran to my room. Even when Singgih wanted to catch Sindi, Hengki was already nowhere to be found. The Stopover Plan failed! Two weeks later I heard that Sindi was pregnant! I can be sure it's Hengki's son because the morning after their wedding, Singgih went overseas for business and only returned 3 weeks later. Sindi always assumed that Singgih was the father of her son without knowing the truth." Mr. Doni lowered his head after telling a story. He felt sorry for Sindi and Hengki.

"Why can Hengki not know about Ari? Doesn't it look like his face looks exactly like her?" Andre curious.

"After the incident Hengki left without a trace. I had trouble contacting him. Perhaps because of her guilt, she decided to leave Sindi's life without knowing the truth." Mr. Doni has been trying to find Hengki but there have been no results.

"No need to search anymore! It was likely that he would come by himself!" Joseph assumed again.

"Why is that?" Mr. Doni was curious about Yusuf's words.

"Maybe Cicit and Joni don't realize that since we got out of the hotel there's been people following. I'm ready if they're gonna cause any trouble. I'm looking forward to it as if they didn't take action. They just observe. They reacted when they saw Ari and Sindi coming out of the hut. But they also did not plan to attack. There is a possibility that Mr. Hengki has seen a fake Ari photo in the magazine. It is also possible that Mr. Hengki wants to find grandfather but news reports say that grandfather is dead. So they can only scout for the Wirabuana Family." Joseph explained his assumptions.

"Hopefully so!" Mr. Doni hopes if it is true that way.

"Grandfather Doni just calm down! Ucup has asked people to protect Ari and the family!" Doni felt relieved after hearing that.

"That's papa's new kid!" Andre praised Joseph's actions.

"That's my son-in-law!" Bima does not want to lose.

The great-granddaughter also felt relieved because all the things she wanted to ask already got the answer without asking.

"O yes pa! You don't want to attend tomorrow's show at the office?"

"No! Papa's still on vacation with your mama here! Make sure they know who's boss!" Andre reminded Yusuf.

"Ready!"
