Golden dawn Restaurant....
One famous restaurant in the city next to which Istianti destination. After parking his car, Jaelani accompanied Isti into the restaurant.
The door automatically opened, there were many visitors in suits and tie was sitting waiting in the queue as the main room was still full of guests.
Istianti's footsteps walked gracefully using high heels on the floor of golden marble, green paint combined with yellow scratches, and, medieval European-style classical ornaments and chandelier-looking chandeliers luxuriously adorn the lobby ceiling.
Although Istianti has not been present in formal events for more than twenty years, except to take the semester report Ryan, he can still show himself with a distinguished family etiquette education.
While behind, the big man walked firmly until he let out a loud sound from every footrest. His gaze was sharp, watching every corner of the lobby like a bodyguard who guarded Isti.
"Jae, you don't have to be so stiff, we're not here to find enemies, so relax."
"I'm relaxed, but that's where I come from." Reply Jaelani limp, although the limp face, still looks creepy.
"Oh, I see.'
Looking from the direction of the receptionist's desk, one woman was already preparing to welcome, the smile she showed greeted Istianti with a polite nod of her head.
Whereas when she looked at Jaelani's figure with her sharp eyes, the woman slightly retreated half a step back from feeling the inner pressure, if she had to face someone like Jaelani.
"Good night madam, sorry in advance, for now the table is full, if the madam pleases, we will enter the waiting list." Politely said.
"What ?." Jaelani Saut.
The receptionist thinks Jaelani is angry, even though her words are nothing more than ordinary question marks, but because the voice is heavy enough to make people feel that she is angry.
"You shut up, don't say anything."
"OK." Obey Jaelani with Istianti's words.
Isti smiled back at the receptionist and said.
"Sorry miss, there's no need to be afraid, he's not a bad person, at least for now."
"So there's a chance he'll do it." That's what the receptionist understands.
But Istianti's smile makes the atmosphere relaxed...."It depends on the situation, but take it easy, I'll make sure nothing happens."
"Good mistress."
"By the way, I already have an appointment with one of the guests who booked being inside." Istianti.
"If you may know in whose name ?."
"I'm Istian Azalea Jayanaga."
The receptionist opened the guest book, and there was indeed one name listed in it... "Yes we have received a message to bring Madam Istian into the VVIP room."
"Thank you very much."
Following where the receptionist took Istianti to a special place that has been ordered by important guests.
Unlike the Regular living room where each table goes hand in hand with each other, there is only a barrier to separate them. While the VVIP space is a private place, if you want to use it, then there are additional costs and it is not cheap.
Opening the door of one room that read 'VVIP 07' on the inside of the restaurant, in fact there were three people already sitting with food on their table
"Please madam." Istianti was allowed to enter.
"Thank you."
A special place filled with a variety of wall hangings, round tables for five to ten people and jazz music chants from speakers above the ceiling.
After the receptionist left, Istianti walked up to the three people who were present. Two parents, a boy and a girl, and a teenage girl became their assistants.
Hesitating Istianti at every step of his foot, Jaelani clearly realized, that there was fear from Isti's face even just saying a few words.
But strong hands clenched, convinced themselves and said tremblingly.
"Dad, mom..." Speak slowly.
"It's been twenty-one years that you've been away from home, and yesterday you sent us a letter wanting to meet us, do you know, I'm too old to travel far, my rheumatism can recur." The old man replied with a withered and weak voice.
While one old woman next to him replied to that...."Though you were very excited, when Istian found out that he wanted to meet, and now you're pretending to sell expensively, remember old man's age."
"Although he's still our son, don't be so stubborn."
"As far as you go."
Wirakarna Jayanaga and Dianti Sallsa Jayanaga, they are both the father and mother of Istian Azalia Jayanaga, who for more than twenty years did not meet or just give news.
"Isti, sit..."
"Good mother." Isti obeyed what his mother said.
"Have you eaten." A smile from Dianti offering food.
"It's been...." But Isti didn't want to trouble them.
"You're lying, look at that skinny face, let's eat first." Say the mother figure of the Isti put a plate with all the food on it.
"You always spoil him." Wirakarna was not happy for his wife's attitude.
"What's wrong, twenty years, I've lost my daughter, so I kind of wish I could see her full with the food we've been giving." Answered Anger.
Wirakarna remained steadfast to be indifferent, even though in reality he felt happy to see Istianti eating at the same table.
"Where's my grandson, Ryan, I didn't see him coming." Wirakarna said to one name they expected.
"Ryan, it's home, I can't bring her here." Reply Istian.
"Why ?."
"She still has to go to school, so it's impossible to go home tonight."
"Haaaaahhhh." Limp Wirakarna's face.
Isti clearly did not find it strange why his father and mother who were far away on the island sebrang could know about Ryan. They certainly have sent people assigned to find information related to life in the Isti family.
The expression on Dianti's face that already had wrinkles looked seriously at Istianti..."We both learned from what happened to you, Isti. Father and mother really regretted not understanding your feelings at that time, we were too selfish, thinking that by arranging matchmaking will make your future happy, and in fact we were wrong. Dad and I are hoping that you and Ryan can go home."
"I can't, mother, it's my vow, I won't even step foot into that house once." But the firm nature of the establishment is always Istianti hold.
"Go home, Isti, we know everything, the problems you and Ryan faced after Abram left. We feel angry at all the humiliations in both of you're lives, please don't sacrifice Ryan's future for the oath you made yourself."
"There's something I have to finish here, I can't let Abram's death just be a tragedy and be forgotten. Therefore, this is your son's last request mother, please help me." Istianti said to both of them.
Complicated Dianti's face when she saw Isti pleading so seriously that she bowed and did not care about the oath she made, that she would not be involved in anything about the Jayanaga family.
Wirakarna slowly closed her eyes, seriously thinking, and then saying..."Brahman Ardantio, son of Rohmad Trihartanto Ardantio. I've seen a lot of information from the boy about his vices in business. But as for Abram's death, there's not a single piece of information that implicates him as the perpetrator."
"Somehow, I want to make Brahman pay for the sins he has committed. I realized, I now do not have any power to fight Brahman, so I beg my father and mother."
Seeing how Isti again bowed, Dianti could not resist the guilt until his own son had to beg for a request.
"Dad, it's for Isti's sake...." Said Dianti pleading with her Husband.
"alright. Even if you say it's hard, that doesn't mean it's impossible, but still, it takes time and I want to get this thing done, take Ryan home, and so do you."
"I...."
"You want to reject it?, then, we won't give you any help."
"I'll let Ryan go home, but I..."
"You're stubborn, the vows you make are just a burden in your own life." Resolutely Wirakarna did not give the opportunity for Istianti to refuse.
"Okay dad, I'll do it." Istianti also had no other choice.
After meeting Isti with his parents, now he intends to go home soon.
But before leaving, Dianti gave a parcel of food and an ATM card.
"I don't need this." Istianti.
"Receive Isti, in it contains the money of the company to which you have been entitled for the past fifteen years, the company's assets and the inheritance have been given to all brothers, you're the only one who hasn't received anything." Dianti forced Isti.
Although Isti accepted it, he did not intend to use the money given by the Jayanaga family. At least Isti thought that this would belong to Ryan in the future.
