The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 32

During Jinan's fainting spell, Ardo and Ria's family just sat quietly in the living room while waiting for Jinan to wake up. When Ira asked Ardo about what his son had said, Ardo simply said, "we wait for Jinan to come to his senses first."

Ardo deliberately did not open his voice, he did not want Rico to admit his mistake when Jinan was unconscious. He wants Jinan to see for himself that the closest person is the mastermind behind all these events. And he also wants to erase all the charges Rico has been giving him for the past few days. He did not want his image to be bad in front of Jinan. His mission to get Jinan's heart is not finished, he does not want Jinan to stay away from him even when they have not had time to get close.

Long enough they wait there awkwardly because Rico continues to stare sharply at Ardo. A few seconds later, finally the atmosphere can melt a little because of the presence of baby Ayla who became a toy for the parents and also Ria. Although Ardo and Rico were still silent to each other, they did not care about the two men. As long as they don't throw tantrums in front of baby Ayla, that's enough.

...

Half an hour later, Jinan now began to open his eyes. He held his head which still felt dizzy. Simultaneously at that very instant, Ria who had just wanted to enter the room was shocked when she saw Jinan was already unconscious. No need to wait for long, Ria just walked over to the woman.

"Sister," he exclaimed as he walked over to Jinan. "Still dizzy?" tanyanya when she saw Jinan massaging her head.

"Brother's head is dizzy, Ri," said Jinan slowly.

"Judah Brother just rest, I'll make warm tea ya." Jinan nodded her head.

Ria went to the kitchen to make some warm tea for Jinan. Not forgetting he told his parents that Jinan had regained consciousness. And at that moment, Ira and Sila went straight into Jinan's room, while the men just stood in the doorway to see Jinan's state. They did not go into the room because Jinan who did not allow the men to enter his room without his permission, anyone was no exception brother or papi Ria.

"Alhamdulillah you are aware, dear," said Sila while rubbing her forehead to Jinan's head.

"You sick, son?" ask Ira.

Jinan shook his head weakly. "Just not feeling well a little, Ma. Maybe because of lack of sleep," replied Jinan slowly.

"You've got to get plenty of rest, honey. Don't think too much about yesterday's problems. Mami, Papi, and your uncle here will take care of this matter immediately. You take it easy, son, God willing, things like yesterday won't happen again."

Like what Marco said when the blood incident at Jinan restaurant one month ago, when the carcass incident at Jinan restaurant yesterday occurred, he had already made a move asking for the help of his friend who happened to be working with a group of underground people to find out who and what the motives of the person who wanted to harm Jinan yesterday.

Jinan's gaze now turned to look at the few people standing in the doorway of his room. He looked at Rico with his eyes. He stuck Rico in the face to find out what Ardo was saying. But unfortunately, he did not find a guilty look or anything suspicious on Rico's face in the slightest. He only found the anxious look and emotion remaining on the man's face.

"I want to talk to Rico" Jinan said softly.

Sila and Ira arranged Jinan in wonder. Why does Jinan suddenly want to talk to Rico?

"Excuse me," exclaimed Ria suddenly from the front door.

The three men in the doorway gave way to Ria who was about to enter the room with a glass of warm water in her hand.

"Drink first, Brother."

Jinan drank the warm tea that Ria brought twice a sip, then he gave the glass again to Ria.

"You rest, baby. Don't be too tired." Please rub Jinan's head with affection.

"Sorry, Mi. I'd like to talk to Ria, Ardo, and Rico for a minute in the living room."

Jinan deliberately did not want to include parents in his conversation because all this is not clear. He did not want the parents to think negatively of him if he asked something that was hunting Rico later. And he also deliberately invited Ria because he needed a girlfriend to accompany him to talk to the opposite sex.

Ira looked at Sila, then Sila nodded her head, giving the code for them to obey Jinan's will.

...

In the living room, now Jinan and Ria, Rico, and Ardo are sitting in their seats. Ria is with Jinan on the double sofa, while Ardo and Rico on the single sofa are facing each other.

A few minutes passed and they just kept quiet there. No one wants to open a conversation. Rico was busy with an unhappy look at Ardo who was staring at Jinan. Ria who was busy observing the situation, she did not know why Jinan wanted to talk to her and the two men. While Jinan himself still controls his feelings if it is true that Rico is the mastermind of all these events.

Actually he did not believe that Rico had anything to do with all this, but if he did not ask and find out, he would never know the truth.

Jinan sighed, hopefully what Ardo said was not true.

"Do you know Mr Octav, Co?" jinan asked with a look towards Rico.

"Sister Rico." Ria kicked Rico's leg because the man was still busy staring at Ardo.

"At the same question, Jinan," said Ria.

"What's up, Ji?" ask Rico to Jinan.

"Do you know Mr Octav?" ask Jinan back.

Rico clenched his forehead with a astonished face.

"Which Lord Octav?" tanyanya's confused.

"There are indeed how many Octav masters you know" Ardo said.

Rico looked at Ardo not like it. "Not to interfere. The one who asked me was Jinan, not you."

Ardo poked his shoulders, then he looked back at Jinan. It is better that he is busy staring at Jinan alone than having to serve a tempramen man like Rico, he thought.

"Jawab my question, Co. Do you know Mr Octav?" Jinan repeated the question.

"Mr Octav I know is papa's business partner, Ji. Is he what you mean?"

"Do you know Clara?" jinan asked without responding to Rico's question.

Rico again scrunched his forehead. He wondered why Jinan could find out with his papa business partner and his daughter.

"Why are you asking me that, Ji? Do you know Mr Octav and his daughter?" ask Ardo.

"So right, you know Clara."

"Y .. yes. A...what's the matter, Ji?" ask Rico nervously. At this time he had already had an unpleasant filling of what Jinan said next.

"So right too, if the terror and the events at Ayla's baby aqiqah event have anything to do with you, Co?" jinan asked with a voice that began to wilt. He could not believe that what Ardo said was true. He could not believe that the cause of all this chaos was Rico. People nearby. The person he already considered as his own brother, like Ria and Elena.

Rico widened his eyes as Jinan said something outside of his mind. Why is he the one being blamed, inner Rico.

"Ken .. Why did you suddenly accuse me, Ji? What's the matter?" ask Rico to be confused.

Ria who heard that was also no less surprised by Rico. How could his brother be the cause of all this, he thought. Because to Ria's knowledge, Rico is just a normal guy who is a little naughty, like a young person in general. Rico had never even been seen in contact with people in such an underground world. Rico is a very loving person according to him. How could Rico possibly do such a disgusting thing.

"Sister, why did you accuse Brother Rico? Brother Rico could not have anything to do with it all," said Ria defending Rico.

Jinan was silent for a moment. Again, he also did not believe that Rico had anything to do with all these events. And he also did not want to accuse anyone. But from Ardo's story a few hours ago and all Rico's answers to his questions, he becomes a little suspicious of Rico. But he didn't want to suspect anyone, either. What's more Rico is one of his closest people besides Ria.

"Can you tell Rico everything?" ask Jinan to Ardo.

Ardo raised both eyebrows. "By pleasure, princess."

No one responded to Ardo jokingly as they were all currently in serious mode with their respective minds. Ardo shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then he began to recount to Rico and Ria what he had told Jinan before.

"Cannot be. You don't just make up stories. Mr. Octav is unlikely to do any of this" Rico denies everything Ardo told him.

"Do you want me to meet the man directly so you can trust my words." Ardo raised one of his eyebrows.

Rico clenched his hands tightly. "Dam. The old man did not play games with his words. I thought he was going to attack Elena, but I didn't think it turned out to be Jinan. It was only fitting that Elena was still fine until now," inner Rico growled furiously.
