CEO Rescue Me!
CHAPTER 23 – THE CLIFF

“Hotel?” Grand guess.

Bramasta shakes his head, “There should be no permanent buildings in this place. It's too narrow and dangerous for a permanent building here. Given the Lembang area is an active earth fault area. And this site is located on a cliff that is not too wide.”

Bramasta unrolled the blue print, then widened it on the hood of his car. Assisted by Agung who held the A2-sized paper so as not to roll, Bramasta used his cellphone and car keys to hold the paper.

“This is the construction plan,” said Bramasta pointed to a picture of the face of the building. It does not look like a building in general. Only visible slashes and steel and concrete configurations. Some shapes are angled like a boat sail on the top.

Everyone looked at the blue print. Bramasta laughs. Then he called out to Indra. The standing senses watched the workers cutting steel, approaching them.

“Bring laptop no? Wanna see his 3D picture.”

Indra took a laptop in her car. And then handed it to Bramasta.

“Difficult to understand yes the picture. Same. I also initially did not understand with such slashes. The power of Anton's imagination and his team is indeed extraordinary,” said Indra.

Bramasta opened a file called The Cliff_Bluff_.

The screen of the laptop was filled with the words The Cliff and B Group as an opening. There's background music. Then the screen changed into a display like a satellite map. Pointing to the location of The Cliff on a map that is getting bigger and clearer, the location where they are today.

The camera moves over the land with a white roofed building like pieces of cloth that are pulled at different angles and heights.

“That's the roof. Anton designed the tent membrane roof for the impression of light, unique and elegant. The formation of a roof and cliffs that rise behind it will become an icon of The Cliff.”

Camera dropping. Showing the face of The Cliff. Everybody gasp.

“Bang, really cool,” says Adisti.

“Disti likes?” ask Bramasta. Adisti smiled. Indra cleared his throat while smiling widely.

The camera moves following the flow of space division. As if being a visitor of The Cliff, down the entrance, there is a small Balinese-style pool, which divides 3 directions to enter the building. There was a step then the vast stone floor, there was a low wall of coiling stone, there was another step for the next flat floor.

“The concept is open space,” Bramasta directs the cursor mouse, “This animation The Cliff with furniture and lights.”

The Cliff building at night with yellowish-orange lights and long tables and square tables and chairs.

“Masyaa Allah, very good. This, amazing.” Mother looked in admiration.

“Cafe & Resto?” ask Great.

Bramasta. “The plan is cafe & resto for families. There is also a nature play ground for children. For teenagers and adults we also use the cliff behind to learn rock climbing.”

“Safe for novice climbers?” ask Dad.

“Insyaa Allah is safe, Sir. We've checked the slope and rock cliffs.”

Father, Mother and Great are still very enthusiastic about the animated video. Indra explained to them. Bramasta invites Adisti to where Adisti used to sit on his knees the first time Bramasta saw him.

“We're there again. Try to sit in the same position as at that time. And look around it. Who knows Disti can remember again what made Disti desperate down the rock cliff,” said Bramasta.

“Be careful Yes Deck,” says Mother. Disti nodded.

“Repot yes his left hand is still held so,” said Bramasta while walking beside Adisti. They walk side by side keeping their distance.

“Iya. Difficult to maintain body balance.”

“Be careful the way.”

They both sat on the edge. Still in safe distance. Agung watched his sister and Bramasta from a distance. Then look at the laptop screen again.

“What made Disti enter this site at that time?’ ask Bramasta.

“You honest answer?” Bramasta.

“But don't tell Daddy, Mommy or Sister ya.” Bramasta nodded again.

“Disti tired,” Disti hugged his knees, his chin was placed on both knees, “Capek was treated like a person to be guarded his feelings. Fatigued by constant worry. And tired of being pitied.”

Bramasta said nothing. He only listened while occasionally glancing at Adisti.

“It's his destiny, Disti's engagement and marriage are off. Disti is okay,” Disti explained,”I mean, Disti has accepted it all as a destiny that must be Disti lived. Disti does not want to be pitied and considered weak. That's it.”

Bramasta straightened his legs. Sit slouched. The end of his shoes was above the ravine.

“Disti needs a place to escape all those feelings that burden Disti. The shadows of the incident in the room fittings are unforgettable _not to be forgotten_. Not to mention the feeling of being betrayed by the day H. Receiving a suratan destiny but the shadows sometimes still haunt.”

Bramasta was still silent because she had never felt what Adisti was going through.

“Disti found this place, fascinated by the scenery. This place is a complete package for refreshing, healing and escaping.”

“Wah, can also be the last sentence. Can be used for the jargon of this place,” said Bramasta staring Disti. Disti turned to Bramasta and laughed.

“That time, Disti yelled at Tiyo and the woman here. On this cliff. It feels so satisfied. It feels like being free from the crush of their shadows in the fitting room.”

Bramasta's eyebrows raised next door, “Disti can cuss?”

“When needed Bang. Table buzz is also brave.”

“Waduh, Brother so scared nih.”

“Fear what?”

“Disti fierce.”

“If not fierce, Disti will be clammy with Tiyo, Bang.”

Bramasta turned his gaze away and his smile disappeared. He did not like to imagine Adisti being clammy to Tiyo.

They were silent for a moment. Disti felt bad for Bramasta.

“Good Brother shoes. Cool.”

Bramasta wiggles her shoes, “By Layla as she and her husband honeymoon to Switzerland.”

Adisti raised his head. Look at the mountains far away. See the expanse of gardens and green house domes under the cliff. Then his eyes swept around him. Plants around the cliff. His gaze was fixed on the bonsai tree growing on the rock jutting towards the ravine. His eyes focused on the stone crack wrapped around the bonsai root. The sensation of deja vu struck. His ears were ringing hard. His head was in tremendous pain. Adisti screamed withstanding the pain in his head. His right hand held his head. Banging his head. Body drops.

Bramasta who was sitting next to him directly touched Adisti's two arms. Invite him to stand up.

“Why? What's up?!”

“Sick. Sakiiiit!”

“Sakiiiiit. So sick!”

“Sssshh quiet, Disti calm down first. Istighfar while taking a deep breath, throw it slowly.”

“Saakiiiiiit,” Adisti inserts his head into Bramasta's chest. Banging his head against Bramasta's chest. Bramasta. He saw Agung and Indra running over. Adisti's breath.

“Adek why Bang?”

“Don't know, suddenly he said his headache.”

“Your sister has asthma, Gung? Bring the inhaler?”

“No, Adek has no history of asthma.”

Bramasta massages in the nape of Adisti.

“Disti hear Brother?” Disti nodded.

“Breathe properly. Don't freak. Don'worry. There are Abang, A Agung, Bang Indra, Father and Mother here. Don't freak. Ssssh...”

Father and Mother approached anxiously.

“Bring to the hospital only, Nak Bram?”

Disti gripped the front of Bramasta shirt. She shook her head.

“It's already gradually subsided. But it still hurts. His ears also hurt,” Disti banged his head again into Bramasta's chest.

Bramasta massaged the point behind Adisti's ear. Press it gently for 3 seconds, then release. Repetitively.

“Still sick?”

“It has not been as painful as it was,” Adisti held his nape. He was in Bramasta's arms. Immediately he stepped back with a reddened face, “Sorry.”, looked at Bramasta then lowered his head.

Bramasta felt wrong.

“Disti remember why Disti came down to the cliff,” Adisti turned his body facing the ravine, “It. Because of that.”

“What?” everyone asks.

“The bonsai tree. It grows on top of a rock crack that juts out toward the ravine. Disti intends to take the bonsai for Dad,” Disti turned to his father.

“Why Deck? Why did Adek endanger Adek's own safety to take the bonsai?”

“Adek wants to give something beautiful to Dad. Father who has always been encouraging Adek.”

“Not just Dad, Deck. Mother and Sister too,” said Father.

Adisti hugs Dad, “Pardon Adek, Dad. Pardon. Sorry to make you all so hard because of Adek.”

She hugged Adisti. He understands Adisti's feelings. Ever since she was born, she had always been a princess to her father.

“Dek, the bonsai tree is difficult to take without tools. Minimal crowbar. How can I think about taking the bonsai?” He stared at the bonsai tree.

“That time did not think to bring tools. I think it's easy to take it. Because it grows in rock cracks, kirain lives comot aja.” Adisti stared at the bonsai tree with a sad look.

“Basic girls.” Indra muttering. Adisti turned towards him.

“Iya, Bang.. Adisti admitted wrong.” Adisti.

Bramasta. He turned to face Mom and Dad.

“Pak and Bu Gumilar, forgive me. I did not intend to hug and touch the daughter of Father and Mother.”

Father and Mother were stunned. Then nod.

“We understand, Son Bram,” said Father.

“But such an incident has happened several times,” Bramasta paused to take a deep breath, then added quickly, “So, please allow me to protect, guard, worry, please, happy and guiding girls Father and Mother.”

Bramasta looked at Father and Mother with a serious look. Mother tightened her grip on Dad's arm.

“Give me, Bramasta Sanjaya, marry the daughter of Father and Mother Gumilar, Adisti Maharani.”

Suddenly silent atmosphere. No drill sound, no sound of grinding steel cutter, no sound of bulldozer, also no noise of generator engine. There was only the sound of the wind.

Bramasta holds his chest, “This is a new thing for me. The new feeling I feel. I'm not good at words to express my feelings. But allow me to justify the daughter of the Father and Mother to be my wife, my partner until jannah later. Allow me to perfect half of my religion by marrying my Father and Mother's daughter.”

Dad wiped away the tears that ran down his cheeks. Stepping closer to Bramasta. Hugging Bramasta and crying haru. Mother approached and hugged Bramasta. Crying with Dad. Great to wipe his tears. The senses standing near him were the same. Adisti held his sobbing by covering his mouth. His cheeks were wet from earlier. His shoulders shook from the sobbing.

“Tonight, God willing my parents will come to the house of Father and Mother to propose officially.”

Dad nodded.

“Adek is willing to accept Brother Bramasta's proposal?” tanya Agung while embracing her sister. Calm down from her sobs.

Adisti did not answer, he looked at Father and Mother and looked at Bramasta who was staring at him waiting for an answer.

Bramasta stepped closer to Adisti.

“Disti, Brother has never been in love before. My brother has never dated either. People say, Brother is a hickey. But you do not care about the words or thoughts of people, because you do not want to slip,” Bramasta look fixed eyes chocolate coffee belongs to Adisti, “So, so, will Adisti date with Brother after we get married later?”

Adisti wiped her tears violently. He stared back at Bramasta while crying and laughing at the same time.

“Abang why the sentence is magical anyway?” Adisti wiped his nose.

“So, would you like to?” Bramasta smiled broadly seeing Adisti laughing.

Adisti looked at Bramasta. Looking for the seriousness in his eyes. Then nod.

“Alhamdulillah.” Bramasta rubbed his face.

Everybody laugh.

“Hhhh! What kind of application is that. Very strange sentence,” said Indra while shaking his head. From a distance he saw Anton brandishing his camera and thumb. Indra held back his two thumbs while laughing.

Small Note:

Deja vu is a condition where we experience situations that are familiar with the conditions around us, as if we have experienced it. It is a French phrase.
