Handsome Detective
Part 72's
All the food that Adam cooked was ready at the table. Lady Sarah calls Ricko and Sandra to come eat together. Even though they had eaten, but seeing Adam's cooking made their appetite back aroused.
" Whoa. I think it's good, ma'am. Who cooks nights like this...?" ask Sandra.
" uh... Adam is cooking. Introduce him to this Assistant Rissa at the office..."
" Hey.introduce me Sandra." said Sandra with a smile.
" I, Adam. assist Miss Rissa.." said Adam briefly because stared dislike by Ricko.
" Oh yeah, Rissa same Arvan where...?" ask Ricko.
" Mister Arvan and Miss Rissa had dinner outside, sir." replied Adam.
" Already - let's eat, mother has not eaten yellow rice for a long time." said Mrs Sarah.
All were very enthusiastic about eating the cuisine of Adam especially Raka and Lady Sarah. While eating, Erina and Arvan return home. They were both astonished because all the residents of the new house ate at the hour that should have been rested.
" Good night everyone." said Erina.
" Where are you guys from...?" ask Ricko.
" Road out for a while, sis.." replied Arvan.
" You're coming here, Adam cook yellow rice Raka requests.." take mom.
" We just finished eating, ma'am." refused Arvan.
: Come on, eat a little to appreciate the hard work that cooks it.." said the mother.
" Alright, mom. Thank you, Dam.. to bother like this because of Raka's request." said Erina.
" It doesn't matter, Boss. As long as my salary does not get cut." said Adam while smiling.
" I don't promise that...!" answer Erina.
" Eh.. I've - already! Don't argue in front of the food." said Dad.
Mr. Regan and Mrs Sarah know Adam well. Even the apartment that Adam currently occupies is a gift from Mr. Regan.
After dinner, Adam said goodbye to go home but was prevented by Lady Sarah.
" Because dinner is over, I beg you to say hello Mr. Madam." said Adam very politely.
" You stay the night, Dam. It's late at night, you don't bring a car either." said Mrs Sarah.
" I can find a cab up front, ma'am..."
" Stay, Dam. It's my order...!" Erina.
Erina doesn't want Adam to be attacked by bad guys who might still be after them.
" But, Miss_..."
" Of course, sleep in the guest room..."
" Uncle, sleep with Raka huh...? Later we will tell stories again.." whining Raka.
Seeing Raka, Adam recalled his younger brother whom he left seven years ago in the village. Maybe her sister was Raka's age when she left. Now his sister is twelve years old.
" Of course, if we have to stay up until morning to tell a story..."
Adam grabs Raka into his arms. Without a single tear drenching his cheek. His longing is increasingly peaking because of the nature of Raka who is very similar to his sister when asking for something.
" Why is Uncle crying...?"
Raka wiped away the tears on Adam's face gently with a smile.
" Surely Uncle Adam misses family in the village huh...?"
Everyone was moved to see the soft side of Raka that he never showed anyone. Erina approached Adam who was sitting on his knees before Raka with a sad look.
" When you want to go home, you can do it. Nothing can stop you from meeting your family. Be thankful that you still have a happy family even without possessions..."
Erina grabbed Adam's hand with a smile. During this time Adam who always calms his heart when he is sad.
" Thank you, Rissa. You are very kind to me and my family. You know, my little sister was very similar in nature to Raka. Every time I get close to Raka, I feel like I'm hanging out with my family in the village..." Adam could not hold back his tears anymore.
" I'm sorry, I don't know what it's like to miss a family that really loves us. I never felt it." said Erina crying.
" Oh, why is it a drama anyway. We better forget the past and plan for a better future..." Sandra held Adam and Erina's shoulders.
Arvan and Ricko who had been moved arrived - suddenly went up in black when the woman embraced Adam together.
" Already - already, the drama continues tomorrow again. Now sleep everyone...!"
Arvan and Ricko pull their wives away from Adam. Mr. Regan and his wife who had shed tears suddenly laughed at the behavior of his two sons who felt jealous of Adam.

On a clear morning, Adam and Raka were running - a small run in the yard before Adam returned to his apartment.
" Uncle, why not just stay here? If there is Uncle, Raka can eat well.." said Raka.
" Can't, Raka. Your father could be upset that Uncle lives here. You know, your mama's pretty fierce, too..."
" Uncle is right, they are very fierce.. hahahaa..."
Arvan who heard their loud chatter from the balcony directly threw Adam with a pebble he took from a flower pot beside him.
The two of them swept a glance all over the place around him.
" No one - who, Uncle. It may be a ghost." said Raka giggling.
The furious Arvan immediately picked up a handful of pebbles and threw them back at Adam and Raka.
" Awww... Hey... stop...!" adam hugged Raka to protect her.
" How dare you say to me...!" arvan shouted from above.
" What's? Papa is listening to our conversation, Uncle.." whispered Raka.
" Gawat, we can be chopped.." said Adam.
" I'm sorry, Mister. We were just joking." said Adam, shouting a little.
Erina who had just finished taking a bath, saw her husband was angry - angry on the balcony.
" Brother Arvan, what is it...? Why angry - angry yourself...?" asked Erina astonished.
" Look at the behavior of the two of them, how dare he say to me. You should have fired your assistant." said Arvan annoyed.
" Here, take a shower! Willy's brother is coming soon. Said you wanted to see the family of the murder victim..."
" Oh yes, until I forget because of them..."
Erina looked down at Adam and Raka who were exercising lightly.
" Mister, Miss. we're sorry...!" scream Adam.
" Hey..hurry up and get ready, come with me...!" arvan's orders.
" Yes, Sir..."
Adam told Raka down from his back which had become a ballast when Adam was pushing up.
" Raka's coming, Uncle...?"
" You're at home, it looks like there's an important job your papa's gonna do. You'd better be home with your mom..."
" Huft's... Raka's bored at home...!"
" Then take Uncle Ricko on the road - the road mumpung they have not returned to Indonesia." suggested Adam.
" Later, Raka wants to go with papa and mama..."
" Yes, let's take a bath before papa you throw us another stone..."
After a bath and breakfast, Arvan and Adam leave immediately because William has already picked them up.
" Where are we going, sir...?" asked Adam curiously.
" Hush! Your mouth is more than women...!" sahut Arvan cold.
" I'm sorry about that, sir. Me and Raka were just joking..."
" Quiet! Once again open my mouth I throw you out of this car...!" arvan Hardik.
William was astonished by the behavior of the two people who were with him. He behaves like a child fighting over toys.
" Hey..stop your chatter, we've reached our destination.." said William.
" Whose house is this, sir...?" ask Adam.
" Just follow, there's no need to talk too much!" Arvan Tukas.
They pressed the door button in a 2-story luxury house with a spacious courtyard.
" The house is quite luxurious, the victim is indeed very rich." said Arvan.
Before long, a servant opened the door. After seeing William's arrival, they were immediately told to enter because the victim's family was waiting in the living room.
" Please, Sir. You've been waiting inside..."
" Thank you..."
William followed Arvan and Adam directly into the living room and greeted each other with the owner of the house.
" Lord William, are there any new leads...?"
" Not yet, now my colleagues and I want to check the CPI once again..."
" Please, Sir. Come with me..."
They began to investigate the murder very thoroughly. Arvan was like getting something that made him smile a little.
