Billionaires Falling Poor

"That's grandpa!" exclamation Laras while pointing to a hut in the middle of the rice field.

Zayyan helped Laras walk the small road of rice paddies. The two of them walked hand in hand like little children who wanted to cross the river. What a sweet sight. Help each other if the road is slippery. Some Tarjo cake workers saw the two thinking they were lovers.

"Well, handsome is also his girlfriend mbak Laras ya."

"Yes when compared to Bejo's son, mas Rendi, yes mending this anyway, hihihihi."

"Eh on know the news that is circulating anyway. If the son of the jury Bejo was beaten the same mas because of the Rendi godain mbak Laras. Wah turned out to be real now the same way mbak Laras. It means they both have a special relationship."

"It looks like Tarjo cake will be the daughter-in-law of his granddaughter. We are ready to help if the Harjo cake makes a celebration," exclaimed one mother and greeted the other with enthusiasm. Because Tarjo's cake all this time good to the employees. So do the other Sukamaju residents.

"Grandfather" said Laras and kek Tarjo who saw the arrival of his grandson looked so happy.

"Well, you have come too, uh Zayyan you have come, too" said kek Tarjo.

"I went to my grandfather's house" Zayyan said briefly.

"Yes, my brother came to the house, but because my grandfather was not there, so I asked you all here" said Laras, explaining Zayyan's short speech.

"Where's cake?" asked Laras who didn't see his little sister in the hut.

"He's there under Soleh's help," pointed to Tarjo's kek.

"Hadeuh the child yes, it's really nice to have a mud bath," said Laras with a smile.

"You just give this breakfast ration to your sister down there" said Kek Tarjo.

"How's Vraka? Do you like living here?" kek Tarjo asked the young man before him.

"It's peaceful and quiet compared to living in the city but it's not easy to leave what we started instead."

Cake Tarjo smiled at Vraka's words. Truly descended from Vranko Lewis. Starting from the face and thoughts are also very similar to the grandfather.

"Venom was created by the master to be able to protect himself from the cruel world of business. Because as many people have wanted to destroy the glory of others. And they try to justify everything. You want to protect the company and its family. That was his initial goal. But the name of man will never be satisfied with what he already has. The bigger our name, the bigger the enemy that comes threatening. And that afternoon a dark incident made the master a different figure. The departure of the mistress left the master devastated and suffering. He lost his heart. Half his soul is always there for him. The figure of Mr. Vranko who had been warm now turned into a cold and untouchable figure. The grudge he had from the death of the mistress further made him a ruthless figure. Master destroyed the mafia that made him lose his mistress. Not only that, but you also exterminate anyone who dares to betray. And at that time Venom became the only mafia group feared by many people and also the head of the mafia."

Cake Tarjo let out a rough sigh. He recalls his uneasy youth. The dark path he once took in the venom made him an untouchable figure but one day something made him have to retreat from the venom.

"I went from there because I found the love of a woman. I can't live in hiding. I also want to be a normal human being. I want to be able to go anywhere with him without having to be afraid of anything. I ask permission from you and say my resolve is complete. The master initially refused but somehow ended up being approved on certain terms. I agreed and went away from Venom. But who would have thought that there was still an enemy that grudged me and knew of my whereabouts that your grandfather had hidden."

"They're after something from me and my family that's been targeted. My wife, my son and my son-in-law died in an accident. And I just found out that it was my enemy first. They know my true identity. I slaughtered them all. After everything was sorted out, I decided to live in the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of city life. With my two grandchildren who survived the tragedy."

Kek Tarjo ended his story while exhaling a long breath. Zayyan just silently listened to Tarjo's cake story. It turned out that it was not that easy to escape from the black world that bound him. Like eating the fruit. Zayyan knew this was what would happen to his life. And that was why he had never been in contact with a woman in the past.

But his arrival to Sukamaju village actually made him think again. His encounter with Laras gives rise to strange seeds in his soul. There was a vibe that he had never felt was now present whenever close to the dimpled sweet girl.

"What was your real purpose in coming here Vraka? What are you looking for from me?" ask kek Tarjo with the look of his old eyes that set.
