The Widow of One Billion
The Part 58



"You're in the hug?” Jack asked Zay.


"Yes!” Zay replied with a pouting face while pursing his lips. Mira also joined in alignment with her son and then, they hugged Zay together.


The little family looked very happy, Sura a small but quite boisterous applause was heard from all that was in that place.


The three of them went to a place where there were some food and various fruits and snacks on the table. They continue to show real happiness.


Jack held Mira's hand, with a big smile, they were a couple who were drunk with love.


"Mas, yesterday said it was just three! Why are so many people here now?” Mira spoke while whispering in her husband's ear. He felt sad and sad.


"Initially, I was just going to be three, because you wanted to take Aunt, so! The first plan failed and now the plan is changed" Jack said. “Our part, right, is married but has not had a party yet. It's not too fancy, but, yes ..at least we share happiness with those closest to us." Get Jack again.


"Thank you, for everything, dear.” Mira unceasingly looked at the face of her beloved husband, with a look of astonishment.


The atmosphere in that place also looks very beautiful and more meaningful because of it. Feast in the open and decorated with stars in the sky, the laughter among all those who were there unceasingly added to the familiarity of the atmosphere. They enjoy everything so much, share happiness, laugh together that Jack forgets that one person has been hurt.


He is the one who is saddened by Jack's departure from home, making the person depressed.


Time is already at sea night, the small but luxurious party event was finished. Zay has gone to his room, accompanied by Auntie. The guests they invited had already returned to their respective inns.


Stay there with a couple, Rico, with Ferdy and Anita. They sat face to face at the same table, and were accompanied by some of their favorite snacks and drinks.


Sometimes their conversation creates laughter in between. They unceasingly tease Mira, another couple that is among them. Until one question made the atmosphere suddenly quiet.


"Do aunt Merlin know, you guys are having this party?” Ask Ferdi about Jack.


Silence, no answer came out of anyone's lips,


hngga in the end, Jack replied, "No,” Jack said as he shook his head, the face that had been radiated full of happiness instantly turned grim.


"Why?” Ask Ferdi again.


"After marriage, I've only been home once" replied Jack flatly. He feels bland with the bond that exists between his family.


"Then, aunty's response, how, you rarely go home?” Ferdi asked, it seemed like this man's question already represented everyone who was also curious about this.


"I don't know, whether it's true or just pretend, Mama asked not to go, but I didn't,” Jack replied with a glaring gaze to the time where he left regardless of Merlin who kept shouting, asking him not to leave.


"Do you know, aunt's current state?” Still ask Ferdi.


"No. .. I don't know." Jack replied while shaking his head


Suddenly Rico spoke up, the man was Jack's confidant. They've been friends since they were in high school. If the middle is like this then Rico behaves like a friend.


"Yesterday the cave, stop by the house, you," said Rico in a distinctive indifferent tone of his.


"Then?” Ferdi chimed in, he was also curious apparently.


"Gua, look at the state of Aunt Merlin but, she is not as usual, I don't know what happened, her body is a little thin and unkempt, hair disheveled and that makes the cave wonder, he said, his eyes were empty, even though he did not know. When the cave talks to him, he has no response, so that's all you can tell to you!” Rico explained about Merlin's current state.


"What a fact, Lu!” ferdy and Anita said in unison while Jack responded in silence.


Mira was still silent, staring fixedly at the face of the husband who looks moody. He clasped tightly onto the hand of the man sitting beside him.  Trying to strengthen his heart because of the situation of his mother who is not okay.


"What, the hell, Lu! Can't you, you're heartened by forgiving him?” Ferdy asked as he nudged Jack on the shoulder, but the man shook his head.


"Nit, please take Mira to the inn first! There's something important we need to talk about!" Ferdy gives Anita orders that they both leave the men who are trying to solve the problem.


"Yes, ayu Mira!” Anita invites Mira to leave the place.


After Anita and Mira leave, Jack rests his body, on the back of a chair, closing his eyes.


"What makes it difficult for you to forgive aunt Merlin?” Ask Ferdi again.


While Rico was still listening carefully.


"You know for yourself, right, the reason? So, no need to explain anymore.” said Jack while glancing his hands over his chest.


"You can't forgive him, because he was involved in Karina's passing?” ferdi asked back.


"Well, that's one of them,” replied Jack briefly.


"Lu must remember one thing ... You must let Karina go, maybe this is the best way for you and Karina, especially now that there is a Mira that you must take good care of, do not let your heart be controlled by anger and resentment, it's all just harming yourself, Jack!” Ferdi.


“Then, what else? When the Cave asks Mama to meet Mira, she even maki-maki cave wife! Though at that time the cave hoped Mama asked Mira to be her daughter-in-law, it turned out that all was wrong ... That night the cave also knew, all the lies that had been neatly covered, it turned out, the cave was just a child connecting from him, Cave is not his biological son, Fer!” Jack's remark surprised Ferdy, but not Rico, because the man knew everything from the beginning. Jack had told everything to his best friend, all about Merlin and from there also revealed the fact, that the accident experienced by Mira had something to do with Merlin.


"Grotto advice, yes, although aunt Merlin like that but, still he who has taken care of you, keep you until you grow into a smart person like this. It's all out of her role, even though she's a connecting mother, but she's pretty responsible for taking care of you all along." Said Rico while staring fixedly at Jack's already tangled face.


"Indeed, an apology is easy to say but, it's hard to do!" Ferdy. Jack is still silent.


"Then, what next step do you want to take?” Ask Rico.


"Yes, I don't know.” Answer Jack Briefly.


"Where is the evidence that already exists, what is it all still lacking to throw Demian and Sania into prison?” Rico asks Jack but is answered by Ferdi.


"That's not too strong yet, we must find other evidence of the crimes they committed!” Ferdy said firmly.


"Do we need to add evidence about illegal business in Demian?”  Rico asked while frowning.


"Well, maybe this is better, but what about Sania, she, right, wasn't involved with the drug business? Surely later he will be free to roam, the cave does not want it to happen! They all have to accept all the consequences of their deeds!” Jack said no less firmly.


"Well, haven't we been looking for solid evidence yet, about the business? Sania could be involved in it, we, right, don't know yet?” Ferdy explained everything. This was justified by Rico, the man nodded his head in agreement.


"If so, Immediately complete all the evidence that already exists.” Jack insists on everything.


The night was too late, to solve all the problems they had just talked about, and if they followed, it might not be finished until the morning. The three of them ended it.


"It's late, surely Mira has been waiting for me,” Jack said as he looked at the clock coiling on his wrist.


"Yes, the new bride." Tempta Rico and Ferdi, “lah us who is waiting?”


The three of them laughed.


"Call down,” said Jack standing up and leaving Rico and Ferdy.


After that the three men went to the place where they each stayed tonight.
