The sound of sweat dripping on the floor of the Dojo is a karate training ground. A little haired boy stood with narrow eyes and his paonya cheeks were training hard. Sometimes he rubbed his tears that kept dripping. He remembered his mother. Mother who always accompanied and supported him until reaching a point like this. But her mother left her. Mother who gave him the spirit to his ability can be this reliable. That little boy was none other than Long An. Although Long An was still sad. He should remain focused on being the pride of his mother. Long An wanted to show the world. That her mother was a great woman. The woman who raised him could become a karateka like this.
Mama, I promise to be your pride. Stepping towards the highest point. Then avenge the actions of the bad people who make mama suffer, Long An said in his heart. He wiped away her tears that were dripping. Then with a sharp gaze back to practice strengthening the horses and techniques in karate.
In a park called Aksara Park. Ravindra is seen standing in the middle of a pond filled with colorful Lotus flowers. Her memories are with Irene. It feels like just yesterday Rava, Irene and Long An were on vacation together. Passing a beautiful day. Even Rava planned to propose to Irene and formalize the relationship. However, reality is not as beautiful as wishful thinking. It all ended pitifully. Ravindra tried to hold back her tears. Holding his chest that felt tight. It was so painful to lose the woman he loved. Why Ravindra was so stupid and got into Rosalind's trap. If only Rava found out the truth sooner and trusted Irene. Maybe Irene won't be leaving so soon. I will not suffer such a tragic fate.
Ravindra tried to strengthen herself. He remembered that he still had Long An. Rava must accompany his son. After all, Long An was still a child. Of course, such a small child feels more devastated by the departure of his mother. So, Rava must be a strong father. Then, Rava picked up a red box. The box contained the ring of the couple who had originally proposed to Irene. Rava could only stare sadly at the ring.
Then Ravindra looked at the Verbena flower pot Irene gave her. It was then that the shadow of Irene who was smiling warmly danced in Rava's eyes. Ravindra could no longer hold back her tears. He cried while sitting holding his chest that felt tight. Ravindra who for years became a cold man who never cried. This time I must feel the sadness.
“Rene... Irene... Arghttttt!!!! Excuse me…. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.” said Ravindra shouting loudly in anger at himself. But the most heartbreaking thing was the pain and pain in his heart.
Next day.
In a sports hall, the Minister of Sports is opening a karate match event for National athlete selection. After the opening and welcome from the Minister of Sports. The committee asked Long An to give a word. An is considered an icon of genius child karateka that is widely known to the general public. Of course it will increase the number of spectators and more introduce the sport of karate. To be better known to the public. At the event was also attended by Ravindra and Mr. Marvin.
Mr. Marvin's been outpatient. Even if you have to sit in a wheelchair. He is excited and wants to give support to his favorite grandson who will compete. For now, Mr. Marvin realizes that his little grandson needs more support. After losing his mother.
Not long after, Long An's name was called to give a speech. The boisterous sound of applause called Long An the Karateka Genius of the East. Long An went up to the podium. He looked at the people around him. Before starting to speak, Long An kissed the Lotus flower pendant that belonged to his mother that he was now wearing. Then speak in front of everyone. The camera lens shot Long An who was about to speak. The show was broadcast through various TV stations in the country. So that everyone can see Little Long An who wants to give a speech.
“Thank you for the opportunity that has been given to me. I'm just a little kid. A child who still has a lot to learn. For me, this event is very important because it can be a place for talented young athletes in this country. The talent of young seedlings should not be wasted because they are the generation that will scent the name of this country in the future.” Long An was silent for a moment as the audience clapped and praised Long An's courage which smoothly spoke in front of the crowd.
After Long An closed his speech. The audience stood up and clapped loudly. Mr. Marvin clasped Ravindra's hand. Rava who had since noticed Long An felt very proud. Irene has raised a great child. Deep inside the heart of the man who was no longer cold. Secretly missed the figure of Irene. If only Irene were still here. This happiness will be complete. They will be a happy family. When Mr. Marvin clasped Ravindra's hand. Rava turned his head and looked at his father who was sitting in a wheelchair. Mr. Marvin threw a warm smile at his son.
“Stay strong, for the sake of taking care of your son. I'm proud to have you. Having a little granddaughter like Long An. Irene will feel happy if you can keep Long An.”
Ravindra's eyes look teary. Now, he feels the warmth of the family thanks to the presence of Long An. But on the other hand, why did he have to lose Irene? It feels like the happiness that Rava has will not be perfect.
Somewhere else.
Rosalind and Liam were watching a broadcast about Long An. Rosalind just grieved and smiled cynically.
“The boy still wants to fight hard like this. Even though she lost her mother. Really similar to Irene.”
Liam who was sitting beside Rosalind stared while chuckling.
“What do you think the boy will do? We can't underestimate it just like that. Experience the other day. That boy can track where we are. You also have to prepare a new strategy to trick it.”
“Just relax, the boy won't find this place. This place only my father knew. Once there is an opportunity and a safe situation. Father will prepare the way so that we can get out of this country.” replied Rosalind with a confident smile. That he will escape all these evils.
But Rosalind never learned. That what is called rottenness will always be smelled. Crimes committed by a person will also get a proper reply. It is only necessary to wait for the right time for the hand of God to play its part. To give proper punishment to a man who has committed a heinous act.
