(Family) Bound
Meaning of Friend

"Oom Justin..!!" Rania shouted as she ran over to Justin who was seen entering her house.

"Hey, baby." Greet Justin with a glowing face.

Rania immediately hugged Justin's body which the man replied with affection. Rania's body which was taller than the average child her age made the little girl seem more mature.

"How are you, Ra. ??" Justin asked as he gently stroked Rania's head.

"Good, oom. Oom Justin has eaten..?? After school, I was cooking lunch for Justin." Rania asked while pulling Justin's hand to follow her.

"Hi, Shaka. Kira's brother.." Say hello to Justin when he meets Shaka and Kira.

Shaka looks to have changed his work clothes with long blue jeans and a plain dark gray t-shirt. Although the shirt was quite loose, it still could not hide the muscles in Shaka's body.

Kira could only let out a long sigh and shook her head at her daughter who was so excited about meeting Justin. While Shaka snorted annoyed at feeling neglected by his daughter every time Justin came.

"Lunch first, tin. Rania's been cooking for you." Kira said without taking her eyes off the hands of Rania and Justin who were still holding hands.

"eeeeeh.. Yes, sis." Justin said awkwardly then slowly released the link of their hand.

Justin sat down at the dinner table and savored the food that Rania had prepared voraciously. The more days the girl is getting good at cooking. Justin had just finished eating when Leo and Alex came along. Although the mouths of the two men were already itching to tempt Justin, but finally they chose to silence when they saw the sharp gaze of Kira that looks deadly.

"Gather in my study." Shaka. The three friends follow Shaka's steps into his study.

"Where's that list..??" Ask Shaka as soon as they sit down.

"This is a list of people who worked on the day of the incident. Complete with their current job." Justin replied while thrusting the blue map.

Shaka accepted the map and started reading a fairly thick pile of paper. Leo and Alex also received a copy of the paper, and they were reading the list carefully.

"There are 26 people in total. It'll take time to find them one by one." Said Justin.

"It is better to focus on the people who work around our room. We're just moving on to the others." Saran Shaka's.

"Lo really, Ka. I think it's more efficient." Alex Sahut.

"We choose who we go to. The rest let our people take care of it." Shaka.

"Gue equals Alex datengin them." Leo said while pointing at some people on the list.

"Where do you think..??" Ask Leo to Alex.

"Ga problem." Answer Alex.

"How are you..??" Alex asks while alternating looking at Shaka and Justin.

"Ka..??" Call Leo because Shaka looks focused on the list in his hand.

"You look at this guy." Shaka said as he pointed to the photo and profile of one of the people on the list.

"Whose name is Doni..?? Why..??" Ask Justin.

"remember me. He was a supervisor at Orange Clock. He used to be Fabian's intermediary. Really, ga..??" Tanya Shaka made sure.

Alex and Leo looked at the photo. They seem to be trying to remember about the person whose picture was pointed at by Shaka.

"Lo bener's. He's Vino's direct superior." Leo shouted while flicking his finger.

"It's like I take care of Justin. I feel like I told you this guy knew the real thing." Shaka said as he tapped his finger on Doni's photo.

"Where do you think..??" Shaka asked Justin.

"No problem. We're directly samperin him now." Answer Justin.

"I just hope it's all over soon. After today I will be busy. And I can't empty the schedule like you guys. I'm afraid I can't help." Justin answered with a grim face.

"Lo don't worry. Other than us, there are others who help. Brother Adam and Hans have sent their men. And I think they're better at sniffing out the evidence." Shaka.

"Weekend this I can still walk. So off today we're with Doni's samperin." Alex said to Leo.

"I think it's enough that I'm both the same as Justin." Shaka.

"Doni's former one of Fabian's important men, Ka. We don't know what he's like now. You read it yourself, right now what is he doing..?? Bookies and loan sharks. That means he must have someone to help him get into debt. So we're hanging out with the four of us just in case." Said Alex again.

"Lo forgot now there is a diem always follow Justin from afar..??" Cibir Shaka reminds Justin of the bodyguards his grandfather sent him. Justin just grunted annoyedly at Shaka's teasing.

"Setep aja I'm not calm letin you two alone met with Doni." Urge Alex.

"Same. I'm also." Sahut Leo's.

"Yes already. The four of us met Doni." Shaka said surrender.

"It turns out that today has not been done. We can continue this weekend." Said Leo.

"But I can't. Saturday tomorrow Edo wants Lamar Luna. So my family's all gonna be busy getting ready for Edo's proposal." Shaka Sahut.

"You're gonna be a ghost, Ka..??" Alex asked in surprise and was answered nodding by Shaka.

"Lo is 33 years old. Next year you will be called Grandpa. Belom again if Rania is married to Justin, so young grandfather donk lo..!!" Tempt Leo while laughing loudly.

"Belvin. I'm sure I'll be hot grandpa. I'm gonna be the prettiest and sexiest grandpa." Sergey Shaka won't lose.

"Iyaaa. trus lo children who are babies will also be oom or aunt." Alex said chuckling.

"Udah.. So the road now ain't it..??" Shaka asks sewot because he continues to be teased by his friends.

"We are walking now. It's still clockwork." Justin replied before his two friends began to switch by making fun of him. The four of them came out of Shaka's study.

"Dear." Call Shaka as he approaches his wife to say goodbye.

Kira seemed to be reading a book while sitting on the sofa in the living room with a blanket covering her legs.

"You want to go, Bie..??" Ask Kira.

"Yes. There's something we need to take care of and maybe I'll be home tonight." Shaka answered while gently tasting Kira's fingers that felt cold.

"Are you okay..??" Shaka asked because he saw Kira's face that was paler than before.

"Hey. alas papa. You guys take good care of Mom. Don't get too excited about playing. Your mother's ass." Shaka said as if he was reprimanding the two children in Kira's womb.

As if understanding what Shaka said, the children in Kira's womb took turns to give a slow kick. Makes Shaka and Kira laugh slowly.

"I love you, my pigs." Whisper Shaka before tucking Kira's stomach a few times.

"I'll go first. Don't wait for me if it turns out to be home too late. Rest." Shaka said then kissed Kira on the forehead.

"Be careful, Bie. Sorry I can't drive you up front." Sahut Kira then kissed her husband's hand.

"It's okay. Rest here." Shaka said while stroking Kira's head.

"Titip my husband yes." Kira said to Shaka's three friends.

"I'll take care of him, brother." Justin's voice was without a doubt followed by a nod by Alex and Leo.

"thank you. You guys be careful too." Kira's Message.

"Good, brother." Answer Shaka's three friends almost simultaneously.

"Rania, oom go first huh." Pamit Justin when he saw Rania approaching with cut fruit and water for Kira.

"Be careful, oom. Papa too. Careful." Rania seemed to know where Justin and his father were going.

The atmosphere of silence enveloped the journey of the four friends. Both Justin, Leo, and Alex know for sure that Shaka is being rocked by a lot of problems. Starting from Kira who is sick, the company that is being shaken, threatening letters that are still coming, Edo's problems with Luna, plus the death of Vino who also dragged Shaka. Secretly the three of them salute Shaka who looks to remain calm facing all his problems.

Justin turned several times towards Shaka who seemed focused on his steering wheel. Although he looks calm, but he can see a heavy burden in the eyes of his best friend.

"How many weeks is Kira's kak's content..??" Justin asked, breaking the silence.

"33 weeks." Shaka answered while looking at Justin for a moment.

"Do you know the sex of the twins..??" Ask Justin.

"Y..!! As always, I'm just as unwilling to know the sex of the babies. We'd rather keep it as a surprise "Shaka replied.

"How is Kira's condition..?? Is there any progress...??" Ask Justin again.

"Yes. Fortunately so. The doctor Peter brought from Germany was very helpful. Kira's condition has been much better since her treatment." Shaka replied with a smile even though it still looked cloudy on his face.

"Trus how is Kira's birth preparation, Ka..??" Ask Leo. Shaka was silent for a moment.

"We are still trying to find information on people who have the same blood type as Kira. Just in case Kira will need more blood transfusions. It would be dangerous for Mama Edna to rely only on blood donors from her. Adam could not donate his blood. Because after giving birth and her condition is stable, Kira will undergo a spinal cord graft and Adam's legs are suitable to be a donor Kira." Answer Shaka.

Shaka seemed to harden his jaw when he said Kira needed a spinal cord graft.

"Why can that be..??" Justin looked surprised. Shaka took a deep breath before answering Justin's question.

"Leukemia stage two. Kira's blood disorder caused her to suffer from leukemia." Shaka replied in a cold voice.

"We only found out about the disease after Kira had bleeding for the third time. It is not possible for Kira to undergo chemotherapy let alone a spinal cord graft with the condition of her who is pregnant. Mira's doctor had suggested that children be born sooner through a cesarean section. But Kira doesn't want to. Because the condition of the children in the womb Kira is good and there are no problems. He wanted to wait for enough gestational age when the surgery was performed. As long as there are no problems with her womb Kira does not want the children to be forced to be born prematurely for her sake. So now we can only hope that Kira's condition won't worsen and she will survive until delivery time arrives." Shaka continued while continuing to stare into the streets.

"But fortunately, Joseph's doctor was able to make Kira survive even better." This time Shaka spoke while smiling expectantly.

"Gue is concerned, Ka. But you are patient. This is an ordeal for you and your family. I'll help find someone to donate Kira's blood. You know for yourself that I too am a bule. Who knows if any of my relatives could donate blood to Kira." Alex said as he patted Shaka's shoulder gently.

"So my family doesn't exist, so most likely none of them can help. But I'm still gonna help you find someone who can help you donate blood, Ka." Sahut Leo's.

"I'll help too. We'll be together to deal with this, Ka. You're not alone." Justin said as he gently patted Shaka's arm sitting beside him.

"thank you. You guys are my best friends. My true friend." Shaka said to his three friends.

"That's what friends are for, bro. We also know it for two years. We used to be so depraved together. Praise God we can finally improve ourselves. It means we're destined to be friends, Ka." Sahut Leo's.

"It's like you're really repentant." Alex Cibir.

"Yes, I'm still naughty. But it's not as bad as it used to be. And the important thing is that I'm loyal to Sania, my wife." Sergey Leo did not accept it.

"Diminishing your habit of raging in the cage. Because the stone just knew the taste of lo..!!" Tegur Shaka's.

"You know for yourself sometimes I like to need an impingement." Leo murmur.

"It's up to you to do something. The important thing is that we go back and forth to know. But if you've already started to delay, don't mistake us if finally to interfere." Shaka again.

Leo's three best friends know very well the habits of Leo who he has long wrestled with. Fight at a fight club every Wednesday night. The fight was held in an indoor court where at night a circular trellis was installed at the center of the field. Inside the trellis that was laid out to resemble a cage was a bare-handed fight.

Leo, who joined the club as a teenager, has become a legend among fighters. He is known as one of the strongest fighters. Leo will fight like a hungry Lion when he is frustrated and needs an outlet.

"Iyaaaa. yaaaa. thank you for keeping me up. As Shaka said, you are my best friends. Except Justin. In 6-8 years he's not Shaka's best friend anymore, but his son-in-law." Alex says he's starting to tease Justin and Shaka.

Shaka seemed to snort angrily at Alex and Leo's increasingly excited babble making fun of him and Justin. Justin prefers to ignore his two friends.

"Maybe it's time to take advantage of the Wongsonegoro family's facilities to help us." Justin said as he spread his shoulders.

"For me, you want peace with your family nyokap lo..??" Tanya Shaka could not believe it.

"Ga for GR..!!" Justin said as he pushed Shaka's head slowly.

"I thought about what you said the other day. After I think about it again, you have a point too. I realized mom actually held back the longing for her family. But I kept quiet because I kept my feelings. I don't want to be selfish by continuing to obey my ego and letting my mother be tormented. After all so far, other than continuing to urge me to accept the family legacy, they have never bothered me." The Justin cuek.

"From the first time you were the best, tin. You didn't pick the wrong candidate for the ghost, Ka." Leo said back to tease his two friends to melt the atmosphere.

"What sich lo..??!! I also haven't accepted her as my future ghost." Sahut Shaka sewot's.

"Heeeeeh.. start again dech prestige." Justin said, taking a deep breath.

"As far as I dong..!!" Shaka Sudang.

"It's up to you. The Rania boy lo. Time is up to me. If it's up to me, I've given my blessing to Justin. She's handsome, kind, rich. Less what try..??" Alex's voice chimed in.

"Dialang lo on. Now I'm really into my olokin." Shaka Protests.

"That's what friends are for, Ka. In addition to helping each other also to make his life miserable." Said Leo then laughed loudly at Shaka who looked increasingly upset.
