The Inland Youth of the Heir

Learn to be cruel

Toni kept her head down not daring to look at Arka who was questioning her, nor did Victoria and her children dare to speak.

"Jawablah, don't just shut up! Take responsibility for what you did!" Grandpa Dirga said with a cold expression when he saw Toni was just petrified.

Suddenly Toni dropped to her knees and held Arka's feet, then wailed for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry uncle Arka, this is all pure uncle's fault, it has nothing to do with uncle's wife and children. So just punish me and please let them go" Toni blared as she hugged Arka's leg.

"Stand uncle need not be like this, uncle just explain the problem, I want to hear directly from you"

Arka grabs Toni's arm to stand up, however Toni is much older than her. From the very beginning Arka saw Drako in handcuffs and Toni's flexed facial expression, Arka already understood the situation. But he wanted to hear directly from Toni, so he asked for an explanation at this time.

Seeing Arka who seemed calm and not provoked by his anger, Toni clearly dared to admit all his evil deeds so far.

Toni admitted several times sabotaging the company project for his personal benefit precisely often he did that, he also admitted several times had tried to poison Dirga's grandfather but always thwarted by Diki's sectarian, Diki, until the last he intends to eliminate Arka in order to eliminate the sole heir in the Dewantara family whose clear purpose is so that he who controls the property of the Dewantara family.

"Want to die, truly deserving of death" Curse Grandfather Dirga with a burning aura of fury.

"It's cake, the important uncle has admitted it now, after all we are cake brothers" said the arch trying to calm his grandfather.

"Grandfather had known all his crimes from the beginning, but grandfather always forgave him because grandfather looked at him as a nephew of your grandmother even more so he was already considered his own son, I think, but his plan to kill you really can't be forgiven" Dirga's grandfather's words were full of emphasis.

"I understand grandfather's feelings, uncle planned a murder for me that I can forgive. But uncle trying to poison grandfather was also difficult I forgive, but at least at this time I'm fine cake" Arka again tried to calm his grandfather.

"My grandson Arka, sometimes there is a time to be cruel, sometimes by being a cruel person we can make many good contributions, if you are always kind to the enemy it is not wise, sometimes you have to break the evil steps of your enemy, if when your first attack is killed, who carries on the good plan you want to do?" Said Dirga's grandfather who could not bear to see the kindness of his grandson.

"And all the evidence of his crime has been handed over to the police, is that not so Mr Tanoto?" Said Dirga's grandfather again.

"True Mr. Dirga, all the evidence is clear and plus the immediate confession of the suspect, I make sure he will not be able to escape the law" Tanoto said.

Arka was stunned for a moment to hear every sentence that her grandfather and also the police chief Tanoto said. "Study to be cruel? Even to those close to us?" The whispers in his mind echoed as if giving instructions to be cruel.

Arka had seen the situation, there were many police who of course had all been prepared by his grandfather from the beginning, on the direct recognition of Toni at least prison for several years is not too cruel, it is not too cruel, thinking of that Arka had finally decided.

"Well cake, seeing uncle's bad deeds all this time, I won't hesitate anymore"

Arka took a deep breath and continued her words.

"Sir Tanoto please proceed legally with this uncle of mine, and uncle Diki I request his case"

"For all the assets on behalf of Toni's uncle, Victoria's aunt, and her children to be sure are confiscated until due process is complete, and I don't want to see aunt, Bagas and Clarissa in Jakarta" Said Arka firmly.

"The one who made a mistake, why did we get affected?" Clarissa's grouse did not accept Arka's words.

"Your father should think before doing, he should know the risks involved, and that I decided that you should consider not to make the same mistake later on" replied Arka coldly.

"All have been decided correctly, Diki take care of everything, lest anyone be left behind" Grandpa Dirga gave the order.

"Good master" replied Diki's secretary.

On Toni's side, he did not dare to protest demanding leniency for his family, it seems that this time he really regretted his actions, the police handcuffed Toni's hand and then led to be thrown into prison with Drako

Victoria, Bagas and Clarissa apologized to Dirga and Arka's grandfather, but that did not shake Arka's and her grandfather's decision, but they were asked to leave the capital, they did not dare to refuse the orders of Dirga and Arka's grandfather, and they hurried away from the Dewantara residence.

After everyone left the residence, there were now only Arka, Melanie, Diki and Dirga's grandfather left. The atmosphere was silent for a while until finally Melanie broke the silence.

"Grandfather, stay strong, yes, this is all a test of the Almighty"

"This is indeed a very heavy decision, but all problems must be resolved" replied Dirga's grandfather with a heart of relief.

After the atmosphere melted, they switched topics and forgot about the previous events, they talked about the preparation for Arka and Melanie's wedding to be held in Bali.

*****

A few days had passed after that incident, and the wedding day would last Five more days, all the members of the Arka and Melanie family had already left for Bali, as well as Dion, Dewi and Diki's secretary.

Arka who first visited Bali was really amazed by the natural beauty he saw, when others were preoccupied with wedding preparations, he said, Arka and Melanie spend more time on the beach and occasionally visit tourist attractions that become one of the attractions of the island of Bali.

"Darling I'm so happy" said Melanie, who was leaning her head against Arka's lap.

"I too, dear, never did I imagine a courtship pretending we would become a reality, even going to the guarantee" said Arka while enjoying the breeze of Nusa Dua beach.

"Can I kiss you?" Melanie got up from the fall and pursed her cute lips for a kiss.

"Eh we have not come to faith, besides there are many dear people, later after I will legitimately give a thousand kisses" Goda Arka while clasping Melanie's nose.

Both of them really enjoyed their time before the wedding, to the point that their skin seemed to turn brown due to frequent sunbathing, but they do not care about the important thing they are happy and can enjoy alone time without caring about the busyness of people who are preparing everything for their wedding.
