Joe William
The more complicated Joe's business
Early in the morning, Roger who had not returned to Dolok Ginjang had been waiting in the hotel lobby when Joe and Namora came down from the top floor, then walked towards the hotel lobby.
After ordering the hotel receptionist that the room where she rested last night should not be rented to anyone else, then Joe went with Roger and Namora to Indra Sakti village to fulfill his promise to Lestari.
"Chairman. Do you want to have breakfast first? Ask Roger.
"No need for uncle. I just want to get to Lestari's house. I have a promise to help his family pay off all of his debts to the people from the black cat gang" Joe refused to the son-in-law.
"Alright, Chief. Let's please!" Take Roger.
The three of them then went to Indra sakti village via a shortcut.
Along the way, Joe only saw a lot of coconut, rubber and oil palm plantations.
Sometimes he saw children his age carrying hoes and other agricultural equipment. They looked happy and joking with the girls who became their companions on their way to their fields.
"What are you daydreaming about, Chief?" Asked Roger who was looking from the mirror in front of him.
"Nothing, Uncle. I was just jealous to see them. There's something I can't have like they have. That is, cheerfulness, freedom, without restraint. I tried to free myself. Sometimes I act like a sane person just for fun. But, it's all fake. There is no written rule that I should not be like this and so. However, I can't stay silent when my family is under threat. In fact, the people I care about are also threatened," Joe replied as if he was pouring out all the uneg-uneg in his heart.
"Everybody born in this world has their way of life. His destiny, and the burden of responsibility he must shoulder. Let it flow. Because, however, we are the cast of a scenario that has been outlined by the Almighty. Who are we to complain too much. So, accept with full gratitude. However, surrender alone cannot be without effort. Trust and leave everything to God. Everything will be beautiful in time,"
"Uncle Roger was right. Everything takes effort. Fate and Destiny are different. I can help you, Joe!" Said Namora suddenly.
"You mean?" Joe asked back.
"I know you love so much, Tiara. I will be happy for your happiness too. I mean like this. What if we switch positions?" Ask Namora seriously.
"you mean? Are you capable of being Joe William? You'll be banged with a very strange affair. I'm afraid you'll be targeted by the Miller family. After all, they all knew that you were Namora, Uncle Tigor's son. What else is a black cat gang" Joe said.
"There's this!" Namora said while showing a black mask with a cat symbol.
"Haha. You're very clever. Alright. After we finish the Lestari family business, I will give up my identity and leave for Kuala Nipah. Wait for me Tiara!" Joe said as he clenched his fists as a sign that he was very excited at this moment.
*********
Indra Sakti Village.
Joe's arrival to Lestari's house turned out to have been waiting for by the family. And this was seen when the car driven by Roger, Namora and Joe arrived in the yard of the house, they immediately welcomed their arrival with great joy.
When Joe got out of the car, Lestari immediately welcomed Joe as a prince.
Especially Lestari's parents. They already knew about the identity of the young man. In the past, Joe once gave a very expensive diamond necklace to Lestari when they visited the city of Kemuning.
"Finally you came too, Joe!" Said Lestari with a smile that expanded on her lips.
"Please enter our rickety home, young master!" Said Lestari's father kindly.
"Oh. Yes sure. Thanks, Uncle!" Joe said while looking respectfully.
"I'm sorry if our hut is uncomfortable for you. Hope the young master can be comfortable here!"
"It's a lot better than when I was eight years old back in the Mountain slope. I can adjust," Joe said. They soon entered Lestari's house and sat on a mat made of pandan woven.
Shortly after, from the back came Lestari's mother to bring a drink, and they finally had a light chat until the point of Joe's arrival to the family's home.
"Congratulations. To be honest I can't linger in your house for some reason. After this, if anyone asks you about me, then don't tell me that you know me. It's for your safety. Know that I have rivals and enemies in the business world. So, I hope you can keep your talk!"
"For, Uncle.., I hope after this Uncle doesn't come into contact with the black cat gang again. They are snakes. Uncle will be entangled by them. I could only help once," Joe said, handing Lestari a check of three hundred million dollars.
"This is the help I promised you last night. I hope you don't work in that elite Club anymore. If you are still reckless, then I will no longer consider you as a friend. Working there is not a good thing for you. I'll also close down the elite Club. Just to ruin people,"
"I'm so grateful to you, Joe! Only God can repay him" said Lestari with teary eyes.
"Well, if so, I beg you!" Joe stood up and stood up from his seat.
Meanwhile, Roger and Namora get into the car after getting permission from Joe.
After shaking hands with Lestari's parents, Joe finally stepped towards the door.
Just as he finished putting on his shoes and walked a few steps towards the courtyard, Lestari suddenly ran towards him then knelt on the ground.
"What are you doing, Lestari?" Ask Joe in wonder.
"I don't know what to say anymore. Words are too hard to express my gratitude,"
"Already, Lestari! Let's wake!" Pinta Joe helps Lestari wake up.
"Joe. I know that after this, we may rarely meet. If you meet, you might pretend you don't know each other" Lestari said, hugging Joe so tightly that the young man became excited.
Long time also they hugged up to one unit of motorcycle rickshaw stopped on the side of the road. And at that moment, came out a beautiful girl with a simple appearance snapping at them.
"You're a fucking shit, Joe! You should have given me a lot of reasons. And you're Lestari! You're a friend who stabbed his best friend in the back."
"Tiara?!" Joe and Lestari muttered simultaneously.
"No, Tiara. You misunderstood. Everything is not what you see!" Joe said he ran towards Tiara. But late. Tiara had climbed back into the motorcycle rickshaw she had been riding and then immediately drove away from the front of the house owned by the Lestari family.
Seriate...
