THE GRUDGE THAT BURNS

A painful fact

After dawn prayers, Shifana and her grandfather set off for the village of banyan.At first Edrick wanted to leave at eight o'clock only, but Shifana insisted on leaving early.Shifana said the trip was far away,and he didn't want to be late to come and watch Argana's wedding.

Seeing Shifana insisted that Edrick finally relented, when he knew that the condition of his favorite grandson was not stable right.But he still obeyed his wishes, because he did not want to make his grandson disappointed in him.So much affection for a grandfather,though his real father Shifana himself rejected it from the beginning.

Edrick's attitude to others and Shifana is very different.If against others he will be flat, while towards Shifana and Takeshi he will be very friendly.Whatever his two grandchildren want, he will definitely grant.

The warm treatment that his grandfather gave him, made Shifana so at home with his grandfather rather than his parents.

Because the weather is good, it greatly facilitates the journey of Shifana and her grandfather.Before, Edrick told Shifana to sleep alone.Because Shifana had told him, if the distance traveled is not close.

At first Shifana did not want to sleep, because indeed she was not sleepy.But, Edrick forced her to stay asleep so that she would not be exhausted.Especially her condition had just recovered.Finally Shifana relented and closed her eyes.

Shadows of togetherness with Argana appear in his memory.Togetherness that makes him comfortable and eventually fell in love with the young man.However unfortunately, his love is not hairy.His feelings for Argana clapped one hand.How sick his heart, his,but he realized that love could not be forced.

Shifana feels no one loves her other than the nanny and her grandfather.Even her parents were not that close to her.What is her wrong until fate is so cruel.She just knew if Daddy and his mommy married because of an arranged marriage he knows, if the Daddy has married and has another child with his new wife.Mommy also only loves him at his leisure,in fact, the mommy prefers to work and work.To eliminate the pain of his heart on the daddy.

Since childhood Shifana was indeed taken care of by her housemaids and every time she asked her parents for time.They seemed to not care and busy with their respective affairs.Both parents will act friendly if in front of the grandfather from the side daddy and grandpa from his mommy side.

After not being in front of them, Daddy and his mommy will be indifferent.Especially the daddy, the,she very rarely comes home.She is very at home with her new family.No matter how much she wants little Shifana to get affection from her daddy.

Disappointment that she felt she could not tepis anymore.She was disappointed in her parents.If all this time she was considered a mistake, as her daddy said.Then what was she present to this world? If he could choose, he also did not want to be present and live a life like this.

Shifana crave the full affection of her parents.She does not need luxury.She has seen the life of people whose economy is below average.Although their hard life remains grateful.And they are also always happy.

Talking about Shifana's life with her parents is very complicated and there are no happy memories.

Too late in painful memories, Shifana ended up falling asleep for quite a while.

The car that brought them into the village banyan and Edrick did not know where the party would be held.Finally he called Takeshi.No wait long, finally Takeshi picked up his phone.

"Hallo, kek." said Takeshi across the street

"Hallo Takeshi, where are you?"ask Edrick

"We're at the door of the cake, what's the matter?"ask the young man behind his phone

"Grandpa and Shifana have reached the village of Banyan, we want to go to your place.But do not know where the house is." said Edrick

"So grandpa came here? Why not tell me? And why did Shifana go here, wasn't she not well?"that was the line of questions Takeshi had said

Edrick answered his grandson's question."I got an invitation from your friend's grandparents.And I said it to Shifana last night.And she was kekeh wanted to come here, but she just recovered.Grandpa can not refuse his wishes. Quickly tell me where's the house, Mr. Kades?"said Edrick

"Hehehe sorry cake, grandfather just tell the driver to run the car continuously.Later I will tell you to stop if it gets here." said Takeshi

Edrick also obeyed the orders of his grandson, then he told his personal driver to run his car.And sure enough, in front of a house looks like Takeshi who stood up.And raised his hand to stop the car,Edrick pu woke up Shifana who had fallen asleep.

"Have you got to the cake?"shifana asked as she looked at her grandfather and looked around, and she saw her cousin standing outside the car.

"Here we go down" said Edrick, stroking Shifana's hair gently

"Yes cake."sahut Shifana

"Slow down, if you're tired tell grandpa." said Edrick, and Shifana nodded quickly

"Shifana." said Takeshi as his cousin's sister got out of the car

"Takeshi." said Shifana too, then they embraced.They embraced as if releasing a longing that had been hidden.From small they are indeed familiar to this day.

"How are you? Why come here? You still sick?"takeshi said while staring at Shifana, this beloved little girl is getting thinner.A lot of injuries that her cousin felt, even Takeshi knows if her cousin is very loving Argana her best friend,this girl even came here.Pun is in a newly recovered state.

"Hey, I'm fine.No need to worry." said Shifana while smiling at Takeshi

"How come I'm not worried, you just woke up from a coma.I know you haven't recovered and I also know with your feelings for Arga.Don't be too forced Shifa, I know you're not,if the pain is also not good finally.You still have me and grandfather who is always there for you." said Takeshi while staring at the girl

"What are you talking about? I realize how, Argana's choice of girl is better than me.I really ahh why do this flickering yaa hehehe." said Shifana then she laughed.She too while raising her head, he said,so that his tears do not drip.He feels fragile at this time.Especially his condition is now not okay.However, he will try to be fine.

"You're a hobby of lying now.Here you are, calm down."takeshi then grabbed Shifana's body into his arms and stroked the girl's hair.Shifana was surprised by Takeshi's treatment.However she did nothing but cry in silence.

"No, I'm fine." said Shifana firmly

"Then wipe away your tears and snot." Takeshi said with a mischievous smile

Shifana also wiped her tears, then she wanted to wipe her nose.And she glared at Takeshi's words."No snot." he said in an annoyed tone

"Hahaha yes sorry sorry, I just marked ehh joking.Awww sick." said Takeshi while rubbing his arm that had pinch Shifana

"May I say that." said Shifana while glaring at Takeshi, but she felt relieved now.At least she should be strong when she saw Argana getting married later.

"It's joking."tegur Edrick

The two Edrick grandchildren turned their heads and laughed a little.Then they entered the house with Takeshi entered first.Shifana walked along with the grandfather.

"What are you doing here?"bima asked the young man in front of him

"Sorry uncle, I just happened to pass by." said the young man politely

"You who?"ask Bima search

"I'm the groom's family uncle, why?"ask the young man again

"Ahh nothing." said Bima

"In that case, I'll excuse you first uncle." said the young man and replied to a nod of Bima

After the young man's departure, Bima sighed."I hope he doesn't hear our conversation" he said, hoping to move forward

Meanwhile, the young man who spoke to Bima earlier came out of the house casually.He did not want people to see him walking quickly and suspiciously to him.

He listened to the conversation of his future wife and future in-laws.He was very surprised to hear the conversation of the father and son.Fortunately he recorded their conversation, and lucky also he quickly kept his phone while recording earlier.If it was discovered, he was not,very dangerous.

The young man is Biantara, assistant Argana.She did come to this village as well.She came to the house of the bride just wanted to mingle with the residents there.When she wanted to wc at Yasmin's house, she was,he heard the conversation Yasmin and her father had inside.It really surprised Biantara.

He knew that Argana was an orphan, because Johan was the one who said it.And he did not know the incident that befell the two parents of Argana.

"Should I tell the truth to Mr. Arga." said Biantara after arriving in front of the house, everyone was inside

"Said about what?"asked someone, and Biantara quickly turned his head after hearing the baritone's voice.The voice belonged to Jefri, Argana's uncle.

"Master." said Biantara surprised

"What do you want to say to my nephew? Is there anything important?"ask Jefri

Biantara was silent, should he tell his uncle from his master this.If he said that fact, Biantara was sure if his master would not believe.Perhaps by telling the truth to Jefri,maybe he'll find a solution.

"Sir, so this is.So I mingled with the villagers who were at the bride's house.Well, when I was going to WC I heard a conversation in a room,I was very curious about their conversation, when I did not know if it was the bridal room." said Biantara, then he told me everything from beginning to end.

"That's the story, when the future in-laws of Mr. Arga had caught me.Lucky I quickly went from there.And before, I had time to record their conversation." said Biantara explained and gave up the recording to Jefri

Jefri who listened to the explanation of Argana's early men do not believe.However he took the young man's cell phone and listened to the recording.After that he was very surprised.Emotion peaked on him, all the years he waited for the presence of his twin sister back.However, he,after the big one he never met.

Until finally he met with Argana, who is the biological child of his sister.And he also just found out if his sister had died with his wife in a tragedy.Tragedy that he himself did not know what happened.

After hearing the explanation of Biantara earlier, it feels Jefri very dilemma.Especially the girl who will be his nephew's wife turned out to be the son of the mastermind of the tragedy that befell his sister and sister-in-law.

"IMPOSSIBLE." said someone behind them, the two men turned their heads and they were shocked to find out who the owner of the voice was.

"SIZE." "LORD ARGA" said the two men at the same time.

Not far from them standing, Argana and the others stared questioningly at them.
