In this life, the sentence about 'what we plant that we will reap' is true, although not all is good, but it all depends on how humans process it.


Those who sow evil things, water them with blood and sweat, and are given fertilizer from goat pens, chicken pens or sometimes from dirty human deeds full of gluttony. No one said it would be a bad thing.


Because, a wealth comes because they seek to benefit from others, no matter what way they do, as long as it can enrich themselves, it certainly becomes an achievement.


Forget who is right and who is wrong, because for them, others are just a tool to facilitate their work looking for treasure, nothing more.


Brahman Ardantio, is not an indiscriminate person, he is a human figure who lives to master, destroy, use and use all means in his business.


It was obvious that what he was doing was a dirty way to get all that treasure. But BAK's contractor, his Brahman Ardantio Contractor, controlled almost 10 percent of all construction from government projects only a fraction of the wealth he had.


Behind it all he is the leader of a highly respected mafia group in Jakarta. And use that power to launch all the affairs regarding the project of the company.


Everything he had became tangible proof that he dedicated his life to one purpose, despite it being a dirty muddy road and a stench anyway. Nothing can stop the ambition of Brahman.


This puffed-up man sat casually staring at the phone screen and sucked the cigar in hand, laughed a little, then turned off the screen.


Once the body laughs vibrating, the limp folds will shake with a rhythm in harmony with the sound of the phales like people with asthma.


"Based on the villagers, selling their land for pennies. So stupid. They don't know when the time is right and the tactics are telling, looking to profit on land relocation from the government."


For Brahman the news was just a little drama about a road building project made by the government. Asking for damages on the power of land ownership, and with just a dime, a little legal threat, everything becomes smooth.


But in the end Brahman who benefits more, because his contractor company is the winner of the project manager tender with a large amount of development funds.


"Reza, get the car ready, I'll go home." Call him someone behind the door.


"Good boss."


Today he was quite pleased with the many things that had changed around him, seeing an old photograph tucked away in a desk drawer, revealing three faces full of familiarity and closeness as friends.


"You know Abram, in the end you can't change anything, with the principles of life you've always believed in."


Putting the photo back in the drawer and Abram tightly shut, the look on his face full of age-eaten wrinkles began to laugh to himself, he remembered the life of his past.


"30 years, you really amazed me, and until your death, you were still very concerned about a human relationship, but it was not the same as my principles."


Walking out with all the shadows of the memory of Abram his old comrade, but at first glance changing, the figure became another face he had only met a few days ago.


"Yes he really looks like his father, but .... What makes me feel like they're different." Brahman's mind was reminded of Ryan's eyes.


Blood ties can not be removed, as much as they wash their face, every parent must recognize the sign to his child.


But miraculously, Abram knew it, and he was fine to stay together, indeed the friend he used, always made him feel satisfied, the result of work, competent, diligent, resilient, hardy, and stubborn. Perhaps in the end, only Abram could keep up with Brahman's ambition.


Brahman's car came into the house, the guards and gardeners greeted their boss, but one beautiful 36-year-old woman received special attention.


Istianti, the wife of Abram, his best friend, although the age is no longer young, anyone can admit that Istianti is a woman who looks beautiful and graceful, can even be said to be like a foreign crossbreed artist.


"Why did you sweep the page ?."


"Ah... Mr. Brahman, isn't this what you asked to help at home." Answer Isti.


"Yes I said that, but isn't there anything better for you to do, I even Abram once told me that you're a graduate of a top university in Jakarta, as if it's not worth it to do the hard work."


"I'm used to it, so it's not a problem."


"Why?, if you want, you can be my personal assistant in this house." Brahman answered with his wish.


"I don't want to use that diploma, I'd rather work as a maid, than.... Sorry to forget, sir." Isti stopped talking.


"Alright if that's what you want.... Ratih, you help Isti clean this page." Call Brahman to the other servant.


"Good sir."


Seeing how Brahman walked away, Isti's memory fell into a deep, deep past, where it was the morning with Abram.


Every word from Abram was still clear, as if just yesterday they were still standing together to see Ryan leave for school. Tells about the future, building a simple house, where life is full of happiness until old age, saw Soldiers married, funny grandchildren and waiting for life to end.


A small goal for Abram, he wanted to have a freedom to go far ahead, embrace his own family, without being bound by others.


That day Abram said... "I'm going to get out of the Brahman group, and we can both run a small business, but I'm sure it will work. So wait a little while, then I'll be worthy to take you home to your parents and introduce Ryan to his grandfather."


"I know, I believe that you can actually do all that."


Isti remembered how excited Abram was, where he finally convinced himself to get away from Brahman. Because he saw everything that happened, Abram followed a principle of his own life.


It can't just happen, but Isti believes slowly but surely, Abram is not the one who will give up, and shows himself that he is a responsible man.


And that night.... Istianti heard the screaming voice of one of the men calling her name, she was Abram's coworker, giving a news of a work accident that left her husband dead.


The sadness is still heavy, losing an important figure in Isti and Ryan's life, the humiliation he has received so far is very much, but Ryan still stands and fixes everything. Just looking at Ryan's determination, Isti realized that life would not end even if he wanted to give up.


"Brahman, I will prove all your sins, and take responsibility for Abram's death." That inner voice he had endured for so many years was now spoken once again.
