Descendants To Seven
A Name
A large book is located on a table, with a pen, which dances on it.Its letters per letter to make a word arranged in such a way.
...The old man frowned for a moment. Choose the right words. Before he continued his writing. After he finished writing. He looked at the old clock that was the size of a closet....
The book was then closed and kept in a drawer. And after making sure nothing was forgotten, the old man left the table where he wrote.
...He immediately got ready for bed. For tomorrow is the wedding day of the son of his seventh son....
...The party preparations are over. All just waiting for tomorrow....
Although he wanted to sleep, but drowsiness had not yet reached him. It is very difficult to close the eyes, even though it feels sore because of flushing due to fatigue.
He looked at the ceiling of his room. It instantly crossed the shadow of his past. About being sad when his wife was alive.
And when he has responsibilities that are passed down in generations. That is to continue the message so that the grandson from son to his seventh use a special name.
"Sean, remember your grandfather's message well, one day if you live long and have children. You must forward this message. A name, which if calculated from the lineage that gave it is a name for the child of your grandson," said Sean's grandfather at the time.
...It is always ordered repeatedly when he wants to sleep. So it was clearly imprinted in his memory....
On the same day in a different place, his son and daughter thought about many things. They are invited to a wedding that will be held tomorrow.
"Can't we refuse that invitation?" said a middle-aged woman to someone across the line.
"I don't want to go to the wedding, either. But I don't want papa to be angry. For the one who will marry tomorrow is papa's favorite grandson."
"Ah, don't say anything that makes me feel nauseous. But fine. If you come to attend the wedding, then I will also come" said the middle-aged woman.
...Then he ended the last call. Not for five minutes, her husband came into the room wearing sleeping pajamas. Then sit next to the middle-aged woman....
"Merina, who were you talking to?" ask husband.
"Oh, I just contacted Moris for the matter of tomorrow's departure to the unlucky boy's party" replied his wife.
...The middle-aged woman emphasized intonation in a few words. To show his dislike for the bride-to-be, who is getting married tomorrow. One of the brides is his nephew....
"Aren't we agreed to come?"
"Yes, but who knows they will change their mind," Merina replied to her husband who looked confused while holding her chin.
...Then she hugged her husband spoiled....
...The next day, the wedding party was held. Merina and her husband look good. He used clothes that were prepared long ago....
Although she is not a bride, but the thirst for attention makes her always want to look stunning. But her beauty is still inferior compared to the bride. Who now sits in the chair.
...The groom and the lady should occasionally stand up to welcome the invited guests....
...And occasionally the groom introduces the bride to his guests....
Likewise with the bride, she introduces the groom, to the people she invites.
And all those invited by the bride and the groom ask for one wish. They take pictures together as a memento.
...And in every photo taken, there is a figure that is not visible to ordinary people. It can only be seen by certain people....
...A figure that exuded hatred in his eyes and was filled with resentment. But the figure smiled meaningfully....
A guest who could see the figure felt that these brides would suffer bad luck. But he could only be quiet. Not wanting to ruin the mood on a happy day. Enjoy the dishes at the table. As well as entertainment provided for guests to feel at home for a long time at the party.
The guest knows neither the bride nor the groom. He was only invited by his acquaintances, who happened to be close friends, as well as employees at the groom's company.
"Please this time, pretend to be my partner. I'll buy you anything you ask for" said the young man, who was a close friend of the groom three days before the party.
..."Really?" tanyanya....
"Yes, really!" said the groom's best friend raised his index and middle fingers parallel to his right ear.
...Guests who could see the spirit sitting in the temple suddenly came to their senses from his momentary daydream....
"Hey, why daydream? Let's say hello to the bride. All gifts for them," said the friend and employee of the groom.
"Oh ok, but where's the card?" ask the Indigo girl.
"Here! A honeymoon ticket," said the groom's best friend.
...The Indigo girl just nodded. When greeting the bride and groom, the Indigo girl acted as if she did not see the vengeful spirit. And he hugged the bride while saying congratulations....
"Congratulations. May you be happy. Take good care of yourself" she said with a smile, but there was emphasis in her pronunciation.
...If anyone heard it, they would think something. Maybe they just thought that this Indogo girl was just teasing the bride. And others might think that this girl is threatening the bride who snatched her lover....
"Thank you, yes I will be careful" replied the bride who did not take the Indigo girl seriously.
...At the end of the wedding party is over, it looks like some wedding decorations are starting to be cleaned....
...Starting from beautiful flowers, both fake flowers, and live flowers, which are picked and strung together, into different shapes....
...And add to the natural beauty of the flowers after being in a series....
"Look at this flower, very skillful yes the finger that makes it, he said designed by a famous flower stylist," said the young woman in a maid uniform on the sidelines of her time carrying out the task.
"If you feel love, you have taken it and keep it in your closet. Before the garbage truck car took the flowers away!" said another young woman in the same uniform as him, with a tone of judes.
"He also felt it was a pity to throw it away. But, for what else is concerned, if it is no longer there, people who are in this place, to enjoy its beauty, even for a second. Then it is better that the flowers, be thrown into the trash. So that we can get some rest" said the middle-aged woman who was also wearing a maid outfit.
"Everyone must be thinking how lucky the girl who got married today is. No need to think about his future anymore. The future of them both is like a prince and princess in a fairy tale only. They will definitely live happily ever after" said the first known young woman named Ros.
"I've lived here for a long time, but I don't have any luck. I heard the bride's last education was just High School. Same with my last education. And he was just a laborer working in one of Dion's factories. But he managed to steal our young master's heart" said another servant girl.
"Let's not talk about the bride! Do you know that today the great lord gathers all his children, what are they going to talk about?" asked the young lady called by the name Vivina curiously.
...Vivina feels jealous of the bride, as she is also attracted to the good looks and well-being of their young master....
...To cover up the jealousy, then he switched the conversation about the good fortune of the bride who married today, with the news that he heard accidentally....
"Huh really?" said the middle-aged woman who is often called as aunt Kinan.
"Yes, I just saw some of them receive a call, then go to a special room," Vivina replied seriously and with a non-blinking look.
...Just as Vivina had said if their great master Sean had called all her children....
...It is not difficult and it does not take long to gather all members of his family, in a special room that is quite spacious....
...It seemed like mister Sean felt that the day would finally come,...
...then he made a statement about a will....
...A will about an inheritance, for every summoned person gathered in the room....
Everyone was wondering what they were going to talk about today. For they were only told to gather by a call, but were not told why. But no one asked, even to break the silence in the room.
After all gathered, except for his last son, master Sean looked at the faces present. There was a sense of anxiety that he kept in his mind.
The decision he has chosen. So inevitably he began to speak with his distinctive voice. The voice of an elderly grandfather.
"Dion, my grandson, son of my seventh son. Grandpa was happy and at the same time relieved, because you're finally married. Grandpa congratulates you on living a new life, may your marriage last until the end of your life" said the grandfather.
The initial sentence Mr. Sean had spoken to break the silence. He did not feel excessive of course, to say congratulations to Dion. In front of all the family members gathered today. Because considering today is the wedding of his granddaughter.
Although actually Mr. Sean knows what will happen to the household life of his grandson. But he can't tell Dion. Especially if you tell them to their children. Let it be a mystery and let them solve the mystery in their future marriage, the old man thought.
Then he spread his eyes to his remaining children. Because he lost one son. That's Dion's parents. Grandfather regulated his breathing as if it was heavy for him to exhale every single breath. It was as if he had to iron it out to be enough for some more time. So that he can still breathe until all his tasks are done.
"For my children, papa has made a will for you" he said to his children.
Master Sean's children glanced at each other between them. They were wondering how much they would receive. And in what form will the inheritance be given to them.
Then grandfather gave the code to the lawyer standing next to him. To submit documents.
To each of the people gathered there. Each of them received a document with a flat face, trying to cover their minds.
Then they read carefully each letter listed there.Sadap flat face that stores emotions is now changed.
They wondered why the amount they received was so small, when compared to the entirety of his papa treasure. Even more surprising to them, is when lawyers read out the division of the entire inheritance received by each person.
Dion's legacy turned out to be much larger seven times that of the others.Of course it made the other children protest.
"What does this mean, pa?!"
"It's not fair!"
"Why the amount of inheritance for Dion is greater, there must be a mistake here. Isn't it pa?" said Mr. Sean's children chimed in on each other.
Their real faces could no longer be covered. The response they could have guessed from the beginning, long before this day arrived, long before the words contained in the paper into letters that interlocked making a line of sentences.
Although the children protested and expressed their dissatisfaction through spicy words. And without the slightest censorship, mister Sean accepted their words calmly and breastfed. Because Mr. Sean is aware that his children do not know, what will happen to the greatest beneficiary.
"Papa also got the inheritance because his grandfather gave it to him. It is a hereditary legacy. It should only be given to the seventh lineage" said the grandfather who tried to explain the reason for the uneven division of the inheritance.
This explanation is certainly not enough to make the listener calm. The protests continue. In the end, nothing changed from the will.
But in an instant the attitude of the grandad's children to Dion changed 180 degrees.
They went straight home without even saying goodbye, and with sinister faces stared at Dion briefly before finally throwing their faces away and leaving.
"Grandpa why is Grandpa doing all this?" dion asked after the whole grandad's kids were gone.
"Can his will not be changed anymore?" ask Dion again.
"Dion, before Grandpa wanted to apologize to you. For your descendants will experience many trials. The legacy has been passed down through generations. Only the seventh child can take it. And all Grandpa gave you was a little help. Grandpa just tried to ease the burden on you two later" he told Dion.
Dion did not understand the meaning of grandfather's true words. He only thought that the trials that his grandfather meant were trials in the household, as experienced by other families. He did not ask more clearly the purpose of grandfather's speech, and he saw the condition of grandfather who looked increasingly weak.
"Dion, Iina. If you have children. If a man gives him the name Te Apoyo and if a woman names him Te Espere" he said.
And the new destiny of the two brides has just begun.
