Hoshi, My Tiger
The flashback 3

Bagas immediately booked a ticket to New York the next day after he took care of a visa at the United States embassy. Arriving at the office after finishing his business, Bagas asked Indra, his assistant to hold temporary business during his time in New York.

"What business do you have in New York? How is it so sudden?" ask Indra..

"This life order, Ndra!" bagas said seriously.

"What's right, sir?" Indra looked agitated and scared. "Who is he, sir?"

"My life."

***

Bagas arrived at JFK airport after an 18-hour journey that made his body sick. Even though he had taken the business class that he considered the most comfortable, his body still felt sore.

Coming back from here, I seem to be asking for a massage! But do not go to a place of massage plus-plus sort first, look for the right one.

A driver had come to pick him up and they were headed to a hospital where Javier was admitted to the Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

"Did Mr Javier stay there?" ask Bagas to Javier's driver.

"No sir, this is a chemotherapy schedule. Mr. Arata asked me to take you there" the driver replied.

Bagas nodded.

After traveling nearly two hours from the airport, Bagas arrived at a hospital that specializes in cancer patients.

Bagas went into a spacious lobby and sat on one of the sofas there. Javier's driver told him to sit there and wait for Javier to finish chemotherapy.

While waiting for Opa Falisha, Bagas opened his iPad and began to open the job report sent by Indra. His handsome face is typical of Indonesia, making some people whispered about him but Bagas ignored and remained focused on work. The 11-hour time difference between Jakarta and New York made Bagas late to read his report.

"It's been a while, Bagas?" javier's distinctive baritone voice was heard by Bagas who raised his head.

Bagas stood up and kissed the back of Javier's hand which immediately embraced him. The attitude of the man known as the businessman was cold and cruel, not felt in Bagas at this time. Javier's body is more take care of than the last time he saw at the wedding of duo F.

"Mr Javier okay?" ask Bagas after Javier breaks his embrace.

"Well, and chemotherapy! Make eating bad!" javier's kekeh. "You know Gas, I can't eat goat satay!" Javier sat down in front of Bagas. Assistant and nurse Bagas sat on the other sofa.

"Astaghfirullah's. Don't be that first..."

"Call Opa like Fa, Freya and Sapphira. Aren't we on a job?" javier's smile.

Seriously? I call opa? Is that true sir?

"Good O.pa" Smile Bagas.

"How does it feel to be called 'mas Bagas' by my careless grandson?"

Bagas scratched his head that was not itchy. "Well, it's a little bit quieter than being called 'Oom', feeling my old."

"I get a story from Fa and Freya if you ask them and Arimbi watches over Sapphira so as not to be careless. Right?"

"It's Opa."

"And Safira chose you to release her from airport custody?"

"That's me not expecting it either, Opa."

"Have Nathan and Haura met you?"

"Not yet Opa, said Safira, Nathan's doctor and Haura's doctor were going to London."

Javier nods. "How did you feel about Sapphira? Honestly?"

"To be honest sir, I am often anxious with that clumsy" smiled Bagas.

"Clummy?"

"Eh? That's my call to Safira anyway, Opa."

"Oma Agatha where, Opa?" tanya Bagas is looking for Javier's wife.

"Agatha was gathering with Rhea and Yanti. Let her have her own time because I know, she's tired all this time accompanying me check, control, chemotherapy. There comes a time when he enjoys 'women day' with his brother." Javier softened his face while talking about Agatha. Bagas can see how much Javier loves his wife.

"You know Gas, I'm not afraid of death but I'm more afraid if Agatha is sad for a long time in my absence. We were married for almost 50 years. You can imagine what we've been through all that time. The birth of Davina, the marriage of my daughter to Kareem, the birth of my two grandchildren Falisha and Fathir until Fa married Aji."

"Oma Agatha is a strong woman, Opa" Bagas said.

"Agatha savage is out but she's the same as a woman who's afraid of losing her partner" Javier smiled. "OK, Bagas. No more messing up?"

"Alhamdulillah is far away Opa. Since meeting with Falisha, I have been on auto treatment and I prefer a healthy lifestyle. Oom Kareem is where I discuss various things if we take time to meet lunch or play golf."

"Alhamdulillah. I'm happy to come along. Still checking routine, right?"

Bagas laughed a little. "There's really nothing that can get away with a Javier Arata."

"I couldn't have been called the sly of the Pratomo clan if I didn't know everything. Even what caused Rina to cancel the marriage with Yudha I know."

Bagas. "That means Quinn managed to corner just as slickly as you, Opa."

"Well, cunning no but the name of the carcass will someday be exposed also somehow." Javier smiles smirk.

"Well, Opa really is" chuckles Bagas.

"Rina was lucky to escape from the grave digger and I wish she was with the mouth of the chili. I've loved that kid since I was in high school with Arimbi and Falisha."

Bagas shook his head. No Opa no grandchild if you give the name as good as his speech. Uh but I also gave Safira the Clumsy name as well Ding.

"So Bagas, how Safira. Has it started to diminish recklessly?"

"At least Opa, at least the wallet, mobile phone and car keys are not left behind anymore."

"Hmmm. Scalpel's gone, right?"

Bagas. "Worse is Safira. But Quinn's word still mending than Glock or ppknya kebawa."

"Can Opa hang the beautiful child in a chili tree if you bring his gun through the regular lane not the VIP lane as usual." Javier's holding his temples in a daze.

"Can Safira shoot, Opa?"

"Safira is like my other grandchildren, except Anandhita who won't take martial arts classes, she can shoot and judo."

Bagas could only nod.

"So, does Safira know about your past?"

"I've told Safira everything including how my bastard used to be."

Javier nods. Bagas was very gentlemanly telling his grandson and it was not easy for a man to admit his ugliness to a girl who was nothing.

"How did Safira respond?"

"Safira told me that she respected and respected my honesty. At least I admit and try to emigrate. If I may quote 'I appreciate a repentant bastard more than a look of piety in front but a bastard in the back '. It was like getting cold water in my heart. At least Sapphira didn't denounce my past life."

Javier nods. "Do you love Sapphira?"

Bagas looked at Javier. "I..."
