EIGHT TARGETS
81. A Lonely Grandpa Who Makes Sensations

“Once again I thank you for your help Mr. Muhaimin.”

Said Mr. Sudarmin to an old man before him with a smile that could make people rise in blood.

Grandpa Muhaimin just looked at the face of Mr. Sudarmin who from his appearance already looked like an antagonist.  He then turned his face away, gazing far into the horizon from behind the window of the room where he was resting.

The grandfather's body had been so weak that even the road had to be helped by his caretaker so that he could only lean on the bed to welcome Mr. Sudarmin.

“I am old.  But I have no one else.  When I was little, even before I could remember, my mother died of leukemia, leaving behind my father, me, and my four brothers.  My three sisters couldn't even feel their adulthood for having to die from an epidemic.

However, my father still did not give up, even in the midst of the upheaval of the formation of this country, he was able to achieve success and was able to send us both to school in the Netherlands.

By the age of 21, it was my brother's turn to die of leukemia, the same disease that took my mother's life.  But my father kept smiling because he was grateful to still have me.

I finally met Sudarti and married him.  I thought, after that time, there would only be happiness waiting for us.  But in the end my father, my only family left, breathed his last at the age of 49.  And my wife Sudarti is having fertility problems.  However, thank God, we can still be blessed with a child.

My son also grew up.  After receiving primary education in Indonesia, I also sent him to America to continue his education in college.  However, I shouldn't have done that.  There, he meets the seductress and falls in love with her.

He took my only child.  Ruhan, who is usually obedient, chose to leave home and flee to Thailand to be able to marry the seductress without caring for her father and mother.  However, even though a child's affection is only along a pole, the parent's affection is wider than the ocean can not even be measured by any measuring instrument.

I let him marry the seductress and ask her to return home.  I thought it was all over and I was finally able to live a quiet life in my weapon age.  But again, the curse took away my family.  Now it's my son's turn to be the only one to be snatched away.

Even before Ruhan was brought to the side of the Almighty, my wife first had to breathe her last breath of stress with our son's condition.

It is not enough to get there, now the only relic of my son, my precious grandson, must also die.  Maybe I can take it for granted if even my granddaughter dies naturally like my other family-outlookers.

But he was brutally murdered.  How could I possibly take it?”

Grandpa Muhaimin also dropped his tears, lamenting his misfortune.  Mr. Sudarmin who was at his side, was seen patting the old grandfather's shoulder as if to give him spirit.  However, what was really in Mr. Sudarmin's heart was the wrath.

Mr. Sudarmin was angry with Grandpa Muhaimin's condescending attitude Vet Tcin, the woman who was actually loved by Mr. Sudarmin.  He was angry that Grandpa Muhaimin did not appreciate his son-in-law at all.  But his anger was withheld, for a greater purpose.

“Whatever it is, of course I will, as long as the perpetrator of my grandson's murder can be dragged to the execution place.”

“Don't worry Sir.  Help Mr. Muhaimin has been very large by utilizing the relationship of the Father with old friends of the Father in the field of journalists in the Netherlands.”  Said Mr. Sudarmin with a very upsetting smile on his face.

“Unfortunately I'm old so can't do much.  Even now in order to continue my long and lonely life in the midst of my bankruptcy, I have to rely on the donations of benefactors.  What a shameful life.”  Said Mr. Muhaimin with tears.

“Let's just calm sir, the rest leave it to me.  Father rest well to be healthy again soon.”  Said Mr. Sudarmin with a smile full of conspiracy on his face.

[In that case, just die there quickly, Old Man!]  But that was the sentence he really wanted to say.

***

That night, it appeared that the entire Kaiser family was gathered in the large living room of their home.

“How can everything be like this, Honey?”  Rajuk Bu Nana to her husband.  Mr. Lucias stroked his wife's hair covered in the black veil.

“Sister Dwinda!  Brother said like that.”  Mom Nana was angry.

“Darling, did you realize that your words just now could hurt our nephew?”  Mr. Arkias gently scolded his wife.

“Soalnya magazine article from the Netherlands that looks very convincing.  I'm in doubt, darling.”  Ms. Dwinda responded to those comments.

Ms. Dwinda noticed Kaiser's blue eyes were brighter than her son's blue.  He stretched out his hand to touch Kaiser's face in the area near his eyes.

Kaiser smiled as he gently stroked his aunt's hand that was in gentle contact with her cheek.

“Temper alone Aunt.  The rumors are not true.  Where is there anything like that?  The news of the awakened person was just sheer nonsense.  Kaiser doesn't have such supernatural powers.”  Kaiser.

In the Dewantara family itself, only Kaiser, Mr. Lucias, and Mr. Arkias come into direct contact with the world of the awakened person and also know about the awakened power of Shinomiya Airi.

Even Kaiser's own parents, Mr. Lucias and Ms. Nana, knew only the rumors, but did not know the details of how the world of the awakened man was.

Seeing his son say that, Pak Lucias and Bu Nana looked at his son with a very worried look.

The two of them hugged Kaiser warmly.

Ms. Nana said, “No matter what you are, you are still my son, son.  As your parents, we will protect you no matter how.  Because we have always been convinced that this son we have raised and educated with great difficulty is a kind and gentle-hearted child who will never be able to perform deviant actions.”

Both of Kaiser's parents smiled softly at his son.

Kaiser's expression showed astonishment at his mother's intentions, but in the end he drowned her head in her mother's arms.

“Thank you Mom, Dad.”  Kaiser said as he wet his mother's dress with his tears.  The father and mother then stroked the soft hair of his son.

Mr. Arkias' phone suddenly rang.

“What?”  Apparently the one who called was Mr. Astra, his assistant.

Mr. Astra called Mr. Arkias with an unexpected message.

That night, it was still not even a day of the publication of the hot article in the Netherlands, Nepnieuwsbron Magazine expressed its apology to the public for their ignorance in delivering fake news.

The magazine has clarified that the news that cornered Kaiser as a member of the Trans and the perpetrator of the Black Joker serial murder is untrue and was written baselessly at the request of political opponents of the Dewantara Group.

The magazine's management acknowledged their negligence in controlling its staff and as a form of accountability, the management would hand over the person responsible for writing and printing the news to the local police station.

That same night, Ye Lifei, another survivor of the bloody massacre in Shanghai, died, revealing in his press conference that the two Trans members attacked Lu Tianfeng on the issue of the incompatibility of the amount of honor given by Lu Tianfeng to the promised one.

Without the Dewantara family having done anything, the problem has been resolved by itself.
