The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 37

Buugg !!! Buugg !!!

Plakk !!! Plakk !!!

"Are you crazy, huh! Who do you think he is? He's not a part of your women that you can touch, Rico!"

Blows, kicks, slaps, and insults Rico received from his papa. Elena who saw her brother was battered was just silent, occasionally she joined in to heat up the atmosphere. While Ira could only cry on the living room couch, she could not help her wrathful husband.

Yes, Marco was furious when Elena told him about what Rico had done to Jinan. He did not think, his son who had always looked relaxed, almost no problems he heard, was brave to do something embarrassing to women who were like his own brother.

In a free country like this it is very natural for men and women to be in a relationship with each other. Marco also did not mind his two children if they want to make out with his partner as long as the two children were not to cross the restrictions that he and his wife require. It does not touch parts of the body that should only be touched by their husband or wife, and also does not conduct conjugal relations. If it's just kissing, Marco doesn't mind it. Jinan though? Jinan is the figure of a woman who almost never physically touched the slightest item with a non-mahram.

"I'm sorry Rico, Pa. Rico was still drunk at the time, and he was unaware of what Rico had done to Jinan. Rico also has no intention to do all that," said Rico who was still sitting on the floor.

"Drunken? You drunk in the morning?" ask Marco.

"Rone ... Rico–"

"What's? Looking for an excuse?"

Marco was about to hit his son back, but his feet were first held by Ira from behind. Ira who saw her son was in so much pain became unbearable with the condition of his son.

"Stop, Pa. Enough is enough, pity Rico," Ira said with sobs. "He's got a punch from Ardo, that's enough for him, Pa."

"Enough? You're spoiling her too much, Ira. That's why he always does what he wants."

"Mama, stop. Brother Rico deserves it, he's been insolent with Jinan, Ma."

"But your brother's been battered like this, El. Don't you feel sorry for him?"

"It's not Rico that Ma should have pity on, it's Jinan. Brother Rico has almost made Jinan hurt because of his actions on Mr. Octav's son, and now he wants to harass Jinan. Who do you think should be pitied? Because of Brother Rico too, Jinan became afraid to leave the house, Ma," Elena said emotionally when she remembered her brother's actions.

Ira and Marco looked at Elena with shocked gazes.

"Master Octav's son?" marco muttered slowly.

"Why with Mr Octav's son?" ask Marco.

Elena widened her eyes in surprise at what she said. He swallowed his saliva when he saw the gazes of his parents who looked curious at his words.

"Gosh, what did I say?" inner Elena. He held his mouth while staring here and there.

"Elena," cried Marco.

"Aah?" Elena looked at Marco in panic. "A ... What's up, Papa."

"What happened to Mr. Octav's son? Why are you linking Rico and Jian's problems with Mr Octav's son?" marco asked seriously.

"Em, uh Pa. Em ..."

"Mr Octav is the one who's been terrorizing Jinan's restaurant, Pa."

All eyes stared towards the origin of the voice with shocked faces. Where the sound came from Rico.

"Oh my God, what is he doing?" inner Elena.

"What do you mean, Rico?" ask Marco.

"The person who terrorized Jinan's restaurant yesterday was Mr. Octav's errand man ..." Rico told his dad about all Octav's deeds at Jinan's restaurant. He also did not hesitate to tell that Octav did all that because the old man who hurt him because of his daughter who was stressed because of his unrequited love.

Elena who witnessed her brother's honesty to her papa could only bow her head. In his heart, he continued to condemn the stupidity of Rico who had told his papa, even though he and Ria had painstakingly stringed words to cover up Rico's mistakes. But now the man instead said everything casually.

Elena's heart was now waiting for her papa's reaction to all Rico's words. Elena did not even dare to look at her papa face, she was so afraid that she would have to see her papa rampage.

And sure enough, after Rico told him everything, Marco just slapped the man in the face.

Plaac !!!

Elena closed her eyes in surprise. Likewise, Ira who was still sitting beside Rico was surprised by her husband's sudden actions. Ira quickly hugged the tall body of her already defenseless son. As a mother, no matter how bad her child's treatment, she would definitely not bear to see her child tortured to such helplessness as this.

"It's Pa, Enough!" Ira shouted with her shrillness.

"Surge!" marco shouted at his wife.

"Enough, Pa. Rico's been in pain, Pa."

"He deserves to get–"

"Please, Pa, please" Ira hugged her husband's leg. "Please please."

"Ma" exclaimed Rico. He approached Ira and pulled the body of Ira who was prostrating at the feet of his papa. "Don't be like this, Ma. Rico deserves all this."

Ira shook her head. "Mom can't see you like this, honey." Ira rubbed her son's cheek slowly. "If necessary, Mama will prostrate at Jinan's feet so that Jinan will forgive you. But Mama beg of you, never do that again, son. What else is it with a woman like Jinan. Mama knows that such a thing is common for young people like you in a free country like this. But you should also be able to distinguish the types of women, son. Jinan isn't the same kind of woman you've met here, son. Tomorrow we meet Jinan, baby. You apologize sincerely to him, Mama sure Jinan will forgive you," Ira said fondly.

"Jinan doesn't want to see Rico's sister, Ma," Elena said suddenly.

Ira turned to look at Elena, while Rico just lowered his head. He regretted what he had done to Jinan. Because of his foolish actions earlier this morning, his relationship with Jinan has now become increasingly stretched.

"Mama will try to get an apology from Jinan. What Rico did wasn't fatal, El. Jinan could forgive Rico. If necessary, Mama will help the development of Jinan's restaurant so that Jinan will forgive Rico."

"Do you think he wants to be persuaded by money?" ask Marco.

"At any time that won't happen, Ma. Because in the near future, Jinan will sell his restaurant."

Ira frowned, staring in wonder at Elena's words, as did Rico and Marco.

"Jinan will return to Indonesia and will not return here."

Rico widened his eyes in disbelief at what Elena said. Go back to India and never come back to Germany?

Is what he did to Jinan so excessive? As he remembered, he did nothing to the woman other than holding her hand.

"I'm going to miss you a lot. I will also miss playing with baby Ayla, very much" said Ria still hugging Jinan.

"Sister will probably miss you a lot too. You are a very good sister. While here, keep telling Brother ya, Ri."

"Sister who should have told me," said Ria.

Elena smiled looking at the two women. He got up from his seat and approached them and embraced.

"I'm sorry, Ji. If I hadn't been late, none of this would have happened" Elena said.

Jinan broke her embrace, then she looked at Elena with a faint smile. A smile that was barely even visible. "No, El. It's not your fault, it's all my destiny. You don't have to blame yourself."

"I promise you, Rico will be punished according to what he has done to you. I will report all her actions to papa," said Elena who held back her emotions.

Jinan shook his head. "No, El. I don't want you guys fighting because of me. Rico has also been hit by Ardo. I think that's enough, "prevent Jinan.

"You just calm down. Rico deserves it. And for Ardo's punch, it doesn't seem like it's enough" Elena said.

"Really, Brother. You don't have to worry about Rico. Brother Rico deserves to be punished for his brazen actions," continued Ria confirmed what Elena said. Although there was a little bit of pity on his cousin's brother, but in retrospect, it seems like Rico really deserves it all.

...

As Elena walked out of Jinan's room, she saw Rico who was already conscious from his stupor was standing looking at her. With her anger still trying to hold, Elena walked quickly over to Rico, then ...

Plakk !!!

One slap hit Rico's left cheek.

"You're nuts. You're not sane. Who do you think Jinan is?" elena shouted with restraint.

"You ...." Elena pointed at Rico's face, then she clenched her hand furiously and threw her hand into the air.

"Go home right now," cried Elena, then she immediately left the Jinan residence with anger that adorned her heart.
