The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 26

The next day Jinan with Elena immediately went to the restaurant to see the situation there at this time, while Ria had to go to campus early in the morning and would follow if her activities on campus were finished.

Hearing news from Rico, the restaurant now has no smell of carrion anymore, but even so the restaurant still has to be emptied because it must be cleaned again and sprayed with room fragrances first before the restaurant is ready to reopen. But even so, Rico has ensured safety for baby Ayla if Jinan wants to visit her restaurant that day.

Arriving there as Jinan and Elena were about to open the door of the restaurant, they stopped her movement when someone from behind their bodies called out Jinan's name. As they turned their heads, it turned out that the voice came from a handsome man with glasses perched on his face. That man is none other than Evardo Rafandra.

"This guy again. Why else would he call me, "inwardly Jinan was astonished.

"Gosh, how handsome. Where's this prince from?" elena looked in amazement at the figure of Ardo who was walking closer to them.

"Hi, Jinan. Hi too, Miss," said Ardo as he stood before Jinan and Elena.

"Ha .. hi, sir," Elena replied. He was also quite surprised when Ardo mentioned Jinan's name.

"God, how did Jinan know this handsome guy?" inner Elena.

Ardo smiled at Elena, then his gaze now turned to Jinan for a moment, then he looked at baby Ayla who was facing the right side in Jinan's sling.

"Hi's beautiful," Ardo said to baby Ayla. He was about to rub the cheek of baby Ayla cubi, but quickly Jinan dodged.

"I'm sorry" said Ardo.

"What's wrong?" ask Jinan.

"I was here yesterday, but it turns out your restaurant is closed. Wh why? Is there any more repair?" ask Ardo.

"There's no repair. It's just that there's a little problem, sir."

It was not Jinan who answered, it was Elena.

Ardo and Jinan looked at Elena with surprised looks. As well as Elena, she was just as surprised at her own words.

"What's the problem?" ask Elena. 

Elena scratched her non-itchy head, confused as to what to say.

"Em, no problem. He just wanted to talk" said Jinan, who tried to dissuade Elena from telling Ardo anything about the state of the restaurant. He even clasped Elena's hand tightly, hoping that she would understand the code from him.

"Sorry, Miss. What's the problem with your restaurant? Who knows, I can help your problems" Ardo told Elena, ignoring Jinan's remarks.

Elena seemed to endure the pain as Jinan tightened his hand.

"Ji," cried Elena.

"Hey, you're making your friend's hand hurt" Ardo told Jinan.

Instantly, Jinan released his hand on Elena's hand.

"Geez, I'm sorry, El," said Jinan, surprised by what she had done to Elena. He rubbed Elena's wrist that he was holding, but Elena quickly pulled his hand. He was afraid that Jinan would hold his hand again.

Sshh ...

Elena hissed feeling her hands numb.

"Why are you? If you are fascinated by this handsome man, do not make my hands crumble too," Elena whispered to Jinan in Indonesian.

Jinan looked confusedly at Elena. Whatdoes thatmean?

"What do you mean?" ask Jinan slowly.

"You're enchanted too, won't you see this handsome guy?"

"Huh? Kam– intent"

Eid ...

Jinan's speech was cut off by Deheman Ardo's voice. They both stared at the origin of the sound.

"Sorry, today's restaurant is not open. You can come back here again tomorrow" Jinan said. Then he pulled Elena's hand to enter the restaurant.

"Jinan, wait," cried Ardo while holding down the door handle that Jinan was about to close.

"You haven't answered my question. What's the matter with your restaurant?"

"No problem whatsoever. You better just go home. Sorry," said Jinan. He was about to close the door, but Ardo quickly held the door with his feet to keep it from closing.

"Hey, get rid of your legs."

"No, before you tell me what the hell is going on with your restaurant" Ardo said.

Jinan opened the door of his restaurant in annoyance.

"seen? There is no problem here" Jinan pointed to the contents of the restaurant.

Ardo's eyes stared into the restaurant. There is nothing suspicious at first glance. There were only a few employees who looked like they were cleaning there.

"What's this?" ask a man from behind Ardo's body.

Just contact the three of them just stared directly at the direction where the sound came from.

"Sister Rico" said Elena.

Yes, that voice came from Rico. Rico, who spent the night at his friend's house, had to come longer than Jinan and Elena to the restaurant. The plan today is to see the results of cctv recordings inside and outside the restaurant. Luckily after the incident one month ago Jinan has installed cctv cameras in various corners of the room. Hopefully the culprit this time can be found out, hope they all.

"You again?" rico said when he saw Ardo there.

"Why are you here again? Ever since you met Jinan at this restaurant, Jinan's restaurant has been terrorized twice by unknown people. And I'm sure it's all related to you" Rico shouted as he pushed Ardo's body straight.

"Good, Rico!"

"Sir, Rico!"

Jinan and Elena scream at the same time when they see Rico starting to play hands on Ardo. Elena quickly approached Rico to pull her brother's tall body. Do not let them fight here and become a spectacle for the people around. While Jinan at that time immediately hugged the petite body of her daughter. Don't let her daughter see something that Ayla's age shouldn't. She was afraid it would affect her daughter's mentality.

"Already, Brother. Don't make a fuss here. Don't let Big Brother's behavior make people come here" Elena snapped to her brother.

Ardo who feels strange looks confused about the current situation. What does this guy mean? Why did this man suddenly get emotional and say something related to terror. What is this, Ardo thought.

"Shut up, El. He is definitely the cause of the terror that is currently going on in Jinan's restaurant. Every time Jinan met this man, the next day surely Jinan's restaurant would get terror," Rico snapped no less emotion than Elena.

Elena remained silent. Is it true, he thought. Because he did not know anytime this man met Jinan, because lately he rarely played to Jinan's restaurant.

"wait. Whatchu mean?" asked Ardo who couldn't help but ask.

"Heh, you better not pretend. Isn't all this ad–"

"That's enough, Rico," cried Jinan annoyed.

Ooeekk ... Ooeekkk ...

Baby Ayla's cry broke out instantly upon hearing Jinan's cry. In a panic, Jinan immediately hugged the body of baby Ayla while swinging her child's tiny body.

"Us us us, sorry Mama, honey. Sorry Mama" cried Jinan.

"Ji, it's better that baby Ayla be brought in. It's a pity to see this happen" Elena said.

Jinan nodded her head. "Don't talk recklessly" Jinan told Rico.

While calming his son, Jinan walked into the restaurant alone.

"If I see you approaching Jinan again, I'll make sure that I'm the one who's going to finish you off" Rico said, threateningly. Then he walked into the restaurant following Jinan.

Ardo just silently looked at Rico's departure. Is there a serious problem with Jinan's restaurant, her inner self. Ardo's views now meet Elena's.

"Miss," cried Ardo.

"Yes, Sir?" elena hesitated.

"Can you explain?"

"Huh?" elena looked confused at Ardo's question.

"Can you explain the problem with this restaurant? If this has anything to do with me, I'll sort it out."

Elena bit her lower lip in consideration.

"I promise I'll help you if I can" Ardo said again because Elena was silent.

Elena's eyes looked back and forth, she looked like she was thinking about speaking.

"Em, okay. I'll tell you everything, but not here" Elena said with a smile on her back.
