THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE

Efforts to Remove Revenge

In Azka's room, the younger sister kept questioning Rio's relationship with Ratna. He is like an amateur journalist who is picking up news from sources.

Rio was also happy to serve his best friend's chat. He told me about how Via and Farhan shot him in front of Ratna.

"So, Mas Farhan and Ma'am Via shot you? You didn't shoot Ratna? Ish..ish...." Azka commented on Rio's story by ending the Upin-Ipin style.

"Indeed why? I'm a grin, really. I don't have to bother stringing words to express my heart. I'm not a poet" Rio said.

Azka was heartbroken at Rio's reason. He thought his best friend was so innocent.

"If not urged by Mas Farhan, I have not dared to propose to Ratna. I don't have enough capital. Your brother is good. Those who prepare all the props. I don't know at all. Via said it was okay. I'm just leaving. Ms. Aminah, the caretaker of the parlor, is also ignorant."

Azka chuckles. He remembers Meli and Mira's application procession. All taken care of by Via. Of course Via is assisted by others.

"Hhhmmm, who was his sister?" Azka patted her chest.

"Cih, it has nothing to do with sister," Rio sneered.

"Eh, there certainly is. His sister is handsome and good at maximum gini, certainly impact to his brother," said Azka

Rio again poked his lips. They haven't been involved in a fight for long.

"Ga back?"

Azka chuckled at Rio's question.

The two continued to chat until they forgot about time. By midnight they had just awakened. They soon went to sleep too.

At breakfast, Mr. Candra alludes to the problems that Via and Farhan are facing. Especially if it's not a problem with Rahardian.

"You already know the condition of Rahardian's company, don't you? Are you going to act now?" ask Mr. Candra after sipping water.

"What about Candra?" ask Via back.

"With unfavorable conditions like this, you can pressure Rahardian to follow your will" replied Mr. Candra.

"Via was worried about this condition for only a short while. If directly pressed, once their position is back, they push back. Via look at the situation first, Om," replied Via.

Mr. Candra smiled. It gives off an aura of leadership.

"You don't have to worry. Om guarantee the condition of Jaya Sakti Persada will not rise quickly. Take advantage of this opportunity!" said Mr. Candra.

Via and Farhan looked at each other. Both are at the same time.

"What are you talking about, anyway? Aunty doesn't understand" lamented Lena.

Mr. Candra and Via and Farhan laughed. They only realized that the conversation was only understood by the three of them.

"Yes, Aunt. I don't understand either" Azka said.

"Yes, let's talk about this later Via. It's just the three of us not to disturb the others. O yes, so you guys went to the washroom this morning?" Mr. Candra switched the subject.

"So, Om. But, can it? It's still very early in the morning" Rio said hesitantly.

Mr. Candra smiled. He understood Rio's question because Azka's best friend had not known him.

"Just relax, Rio boy. Om has contacted Om's lawyer to take care of a special permit. You just go to the washroom," explained Mr. Candra.

"Would you like to come, Dek?" farhan asked his sister.

"of course. I want to accompany Rio. Pity him if alone witnessed the intimacy of Mas Farhan and Mbak Via," Azka said with a smile.

"We want to be friendly all the way? Just you, ", Farhan grumbled.

"Well, who knows? Anyway I will accompany Rio while here," Azka said.

"Thanks, Bro," Rio said sincerely.

Fifteen minutes later they were escorted by family driver Candra Wijaya to the prison. Rio was already looking forward to meeting Aurelia, his adoptive sister.

Rio was stunned to see Lia's appearance. The girl who used to know Rio likes to wear sexy clothes and can not be separated from make up, now looks different. Aurelia wore a long-sleeved prisoner outfit fitted with a simple headscarf. Her face was plain without make up. However, Lia actually looked graceful.

"Lia? Is this really you?" hissing Rio while staring fixedly at the face of the foster sister.

"Mas Rio, Lia Kangen. Lia doesn't have anyone to see Lia."

The girl suddenly hugged Rio. The hugged one returned the hug with the affection of a sister.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry your sister never saw me. Not that I do not love, but Jogja-Medan is not a close distance," said Rio.

"I'm sorry Lia, I'm sorry too. We've been so evil to dump Mas Rio, "sobbed Lia.

"Oh, forget it! Maybe you were in a state of turmoil at that time. Anyway, I'm currently fine." Rio let go of his embrace, sitting Lia on the chair.

Rio forced a smile on his lips. Actually, he has not been able to forget the bitterness when he was dumped by the family who had been nurturing him for years.

"Don't bring up those bitter memories, Lia. Now, focus on the future" Rio said calmly.

"Then Lia thought she had no future. Hence, Lia had once attempted suicide. Lia felt alone facing this pressing problem. It was fortunate that Via and Mas Farhan were resuscitating Lia."

Rio turned to Via and Farhan. His gaze hinted at a deep gratitude for what Via and Farhan had done for Lia.

"When Lia fell, they reached out to me. I repeatedly did evil. They still care about me. In fact, my own mother doesn't even care about me," lamented Lia who returned with tears.

"Maybe this is the path God has chosen for you to go to good. Be patient, yes!" Rio advised Lia.

"Yes. It was hard to accept this reality. Now, Lia can already have a chest even though sometimes the pain is present."

"How were papah and mama before you came here?" ask Rio.

Lia took a deep breath. He made a heart first. He could not deny the heartache of his mother.

"Father can't wake up without help. It's like a living corpse. Mamah is no longer checked by a neurologist. The cost for that is not there. Om and aunty no longer want to be burdened with medical expenses. Well, they want to bear the cost of our living alone is good," said Lia bitterly.

"Can I have their address?" ask Rio again.

"Make what? Is Rio going there? Rio want to meet papah mama? Not afraid of mamah scolding Mas Rio again?" Lia was poking Rio with questions.

"Lia, no matter how many people I've had in my life. I could be a scholar because of them. Towards an important moment in my life, I must ask for my blessing to mamah and papah."

Lia knitted her two eyebrows. He looked hard at his foster brother.

"Mas Rio wants to propose to Ratna, Lia," said Via.

Lia jerking. He still gave a sharp look to Rio.

"Really, Mas?"

"Yes," Rio replied briefly.

"Ratna do you mean Ratna's your best friend?" Lia looked at Via.

"Yes." Yeah." Via also answered briefly.

"When have you been dating?" Lia asked back.

"No dating. We want to get married immediately if Ratna's parents agree," Rio replied steadily.

"Without dating? If it turns out your character does not match, how?"

"Your brother must have asked Allah for guidance through the prayer of istharah. Isn't that right, Rio?" farhan.

Rio nodded. A smile rose on his lips, a sign he was indeed already steady with his choice.

Lia doesn't think. How can people get married, be able to understand each other without dating?

"Tomorrow you ask your spiritual companion. We're going to see your papah and mama. Can you give me Om Danu's residential address?" insist Via.

Lia wrote the address on the paper that Via offered. He also explained the route to get there.

"Mas Rio really sure to meet mama? Is Rio not afraid of being rejected?" Lia seemed to doubt.

"I'm disappointed, therapy I don't hate let alone grudge. I will also try to cut down on this disappointment. May Mamah also remove her grudge against me and the Via family. Would you like to leave a message for mamah and papah?"

"Can? If I talk about it then Mas Rio recorded, can I? Later Mas Rio show to mamah and papah, said Lia spirit.

Rio nodded. He pulled out his gawai. Then, Rio recorded Lia's speech.

After feeling enough, the group of Via say goodbye. With a heavy heart, Lia let go of them. That means he came back without any relatives.

Lia was still staring at Rio back. He felt guilty for the man, the foster brother who loved him but often he ignored.

After traveling for almost an hour, the group of Via reached the address that Lia gave. The house looks empty.

They rushed down. Rio was in front. He rang the bell near the door.

After three times pressing the bell, the door opened. A woman around 50 years old was staring at Rio.
