Eps 04 Meeting with Grandpa

" Good morning sir" said Leo in a voice that turned stiff and bowed respectfully to an old man standing his back to them.

They were in the garden behind the big house.

The old man in front of Raka and Leo turned his body upon hearing Leo's voice.

Maybe this guy that Leo called last night was named Reksa wiratmadja, who he said was Grandpa Raka, thought Raka.

Mr. Reksa looked at Raka from top to bottom full of search to Raka.

The man may be around 65 years old, but still looks very fit, and dashing.

His face also still looks handsome and firm even though it has seen many wrinkles that decorate it.

His sharp eyes and sharp nose reminded him of his father.

The newly awakened Raka felt guilty for having been careless to pay attention to Mr. Reksa.

" Sorry, sir" said Raka stammered as she bowed respectfully.

Mr. Reksa smiled "Totally Tama-like" he muttered as he walked closer to Raka, but could still be heard by Raka.

" You are my grandson, O Lord, thank You for meeting me with my grandson" he said, embracing Raka.

" I'm sorry Grandpa, I'm sorry Grandpa" he said again repeatedly still hugging Raka.

Raka who was shocked by Mr. Mutual's sudden treatment, just silently staring and confused, he glanced at Leo.

Raka emboldens herself to return her Grandfather's embrace after getting a Nudge from Leo.

There was a sense of warmth and joy that spread in his heart, when he was in his grandfather's arms.

"I'm sorry Grandpa was late to find you" said Mr. Reksa looking at Raka full of regret.

Right now they are in the living room, Raka is sitting next to Leo while Mr. Reksa is sitting on the single sofa next to Raka.

" But sorry Grandpa, Raka has not understood all this at all" Raka ventured to reveal her heart to Mr. Reksa.

" Grandfather knows for sure you have a lot of questions about your parents" Mr. Reksa paused for a while before continuing his words.

"Alright grandfather will tell you about your Father and Mother" he said again.

flash back on

" So you prefer a woman who is not as clear of her origin as she is?!" Sarkas Tuan Direja wiratmadja grandfather of Tama Raka's father.

At that time Tama was in a relationship with Larasati, but Mr. Direja did not approve of their relationship, because he already had his own candidate to be paired with Tama.

The hard nature of both makes them equally no one wants to give up.

" He's got a grandfather's name, his name is Larasati" Tama replied in her usual tone.

" I don't care about her name! I still won't condone your relationship with that woman!" The spell starts to raise his voice.

" But I love her, Kek, I don't want to be with any other woman, other than her" Tama said, holding back her anger.

" What the hell did that woman do to you, so you can't turn away from her?!!"

" The two of us are not like that Cake!!" Tama couldn't hold her amarh.

" You have dared to raise your voice to me just because of that woman!!" He was increasingly unable to control his emotions.

" I've grown up Cake, I already know what's good and not for me, so Grandpa no longer need to manage me now, it's been enough all this time I always obey Grandpa's wishes!!"

The debate between Grandchild and Grandfather continued until Direja finally expelled Tama from the house and decided to cross the name of Tama from the heirs of the Wiratmadja family.

" Well, now do you choose that woman or your family?"

" If you still choose that woman, then stay in this house and leave everything I have given you, and you will be scribbled from the inheritance of the Wiratmadja family!!!"

" Well if it's Grandpa's wish, then I'll get out of this house" Tama pulled out her purse and car keys, after which she left the house.

Wening's wife Mr. Reksa, the mother of Tama who had just returned home after a monthly shopping spree, was very surprised to see her son and in-laws arguing, and Tama decided to get out of the house.

He tries to arrest Tama, but it seems that Tama is not listening to anyone right now, until the pleas of her mother are not heard.

" Don't leave Mother Tam" Lirih Wening with tears that had flooded her cheeks.

" I'm sorry mom, this time I can't take it anymore to always be arranged by grandfather. All this time I've always given up, but now I don't want to anymore" Tama said holding Wening's hand, kissing him many times before finally really leaving the house.

Flash back off

" After a week Tama left the house Tama and Laras held a wedding, without telling us" Lirih Tuan Reksa recalled the Son and his wife, even his tears had flowed since.

He felt like a father and husband who could not be relied on at that time. His son was away from home and his wife's health has declined since then.

Raka just kept quiet and listened to everything that Mr. Reksa said.

" We've been trying to find Tama and Laras everywhere, but we always have a dead end" said Mr. Reksa again.

" But how can you not find Father and Mother, while the word Our Mother has been there since Father and Mother just married" Raka squinted at the sign of thinking hard.

" It's all because of your expertise, Tama is very skilled in IT as you Raka, even he can hack government accounts even if he wants"

Raka again surprised by the explanation of Mr. Reksa, his father had never shown his skills to Raka, but now Mr. Reksa said that his father is very good in the field of IT.

Wait, Raka remembers when she was a child her father had a computer and a labtop that was quite strange, because there were many programs in it that he could not understand.

And his father also who unknowingly influenced him to like the field of informatics, Raka just realized all that now.

" Raka, Raka, are you okay?" Mr. Reksa called Raka who had only been dumb since.

" Well, I'm fine" Raka realized from her daydream.

" How can Grandpa find me now?" Raka was still curious.

"One week ago, Leo saw you on campus while visiting there, your face that looked a lot like your father, making him suspect that you were the son of Tama and Laras, so Leo reported it to me, and we decided to find out about you" Mr. Reksa paused.

" Just yesterday we were able to collect accurate data about you, even we already have a DNA test that states that you are indeed my grandson" Mr. Reksa concluded his explanation to Raka.

" Now Grandpa begs you to be willing to replace Grandpa to manage our family company"
