Little Dandelion
Chapter 40. Heart Stone

Angered by Heru's father, Heru asks Sonia to meet her family first.

"Pa, why is papa doing all this? didn't Papa say that Nael and Caca were married?" ask Nael while he is sad.

Heru sees Nael grieving he can only apologize to Nael and answer Nael's question with a heart filled with grief, "Sorry Nael papa did that so Satya doesn't hurt you Son, Satya has sent a threat to keep you from being with Caca."

Nael was annoyed by the reply from his father, he was dissatisfied. "But Pa, look at Caca he's been so hurt he feels betrayed, just out of fear by Satya we've hurt him. Caca is so brave to face Satya's family alone and we should support Caca. We should have been with him Pa, Nael was embarrassed to see Papa become weak like this."

Heru wept at the words of Nael, and Heru said to Nael, "Nael. This Papa is your father, which father wants to see his son in danger. Please ask that you understand, son."

Nael is upset and angry he leaves his father and goes to see Caca. Valen was saddened by this and disappointed with his Husband and Father, they had done something wrong.

…………………………………………………………………………

Caca was gone, she was incessantly crying, Mr. Tris then hugged and tried to calm Caca down.

"Don't be sad Ca, I know how you feel, I didn't expect Heru to do that to you. Nor will you forgive what they did to you Ca."

Caca was unable to say his heart was too sick, he could only hug Mr. Tris who had been loving him sincerely. Mr. Tris and Sandy then drove Caca home

***

When Caca got home, she was shocked to see Caca coming home crying. Caca then rushed into his room and did not want to talk to anyone.

Mr. Tris then explained to Ms. Caca what had happened to Caca at the party. Mother was then angry and sad, why did her daughter have to experience such a sad thing.

While the sad Caca went into the room and reflected, she stared at Nael's gown and immediately opened and replaced it. Caca also took off the gifting necklace from Nael and removed the bouquet from Nael.

Caca came back crying loudly, Caca recalled the incident last night, he was sorry. She should not have given Nael that kiss, she would have cried again.

I could not bear to see Caca who locked himself in the room while crying, Mother tried to ask Caca to open the door but Mother's efforts failed because Caca did not want to open the door. Mom was very worried about Caca's condition and she cried too.

***

Shortly afterwards Caca finally came out of his room. She then walks up to Sandy and asks Sandy for no one to find her including Nael. Sandy understood she was waiting at the door outside the house.

Caca approached Mom and Mr. Tris who had been waiting for her to come out of the room. Caca's face was so flat his heartache had made his heart turn to stone.

Mom cried and hugged Caca who was still shedding tears. Grandma and aunt also approached Caca and tried to comfort her.

"Relax Ca, we're still here, we'll never leave you."

Caca looked at everyone gathered together. They are the ones who sincerely take care of her. Caca then hugged them all.

A little while later Caca wiped away her tears and she said to everyone beside her, "Look Mom, Caca won't cry anymore. Thanks for everything, from today Caca will be strong. Caca is already big and can not be whiny, Caca must continue the struggle Papa and also Dad."

They were moved to hear the words of Caca who was trying to toughen up when they knew very well the state of Caca's heart was being broken.

***

After conditions have calmed Mr. Tris asking permission to the Caca family to go home, he will think of the best thing for Caca.

Mother escorted Mr. Tris to the front of the house while Caca passed into the room with his cold face.

………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile.

Nael arrives at Caca's house, where he wants to meet Caca. Sandy who sees Nael then prevents Nael from going inside due to orders from her young Miss. "Sorry Miss Caca doesn't want to see anyone."

But Nael ignored Sandy's words, calling Caca out of the house, "Carisa, Carisa! please come out, horrify me first Carisa."

Caca unmoved he just closed his ears and did not want to hear the voice of Nael who was screaming calling his name.

***

Mom opened the door and walked out of the house and told Nael to get out of here and say, "Please understand! Caca doesn't want to meet anyone." Mom then closed the door leaving Nael alone outside.

Nael finally leaves with a hollow heart, remembering the beautiful events of yesterday and why they could change in the blink of an eye.

Caca then broke down and pulled the blanket and started crying.

………………………………………………………………………

Satya's Residence.

Satya, Sony and Cindy did not expect that Caca could say so firmly and boldly.

"Caca, he's like Djuanda his stern father. The beauty of her mother and the courage of Burhan. Hem is quite interesting," said Satya.

Cindy who still did not expect with the courage of Caca then replied to his father's words, "Caca could be against us someday Pa. Should we just shut up, why don't we do something?"

Satya took a deep breath and replied to a question from Cindy, "We must not rush, Papa does not want to go back to prison. Papa should do it carefully."

Sony, who was silent, listened to Dad and Cindy's conversation, said something in annoyance. "Always fail to get Caca! why is that woman so hard to conquer? it's so different from the girls out there that it's so easy to get."

Sony then played the ring that Caca rejected earlier. Satya looked at Sony and smiled and said, "That's how it is, just like Felicia's mother who is very difficult to get."

Cindy and Sony looked at each other when her father hooked up with Caca's mother, they didn't understand her father's intentions.

………………………………………………………………………………

To esokan day.

There are so many people talking about the problem that happened yesterday. They all just found out that Caca is the son of a Djuanda conglomerate.

They goosebumps hearing Caca's words that are undaunted against Satya's family. They are also saddened and moved by Caca's struggle alone against Satya's cruel family.

Ahmad, Mul Lista and Mba Dewi were upset with Nael and Pak Heru. Ahmad did not want to talk to Nael.

Meanwhile Nael is agitated in his study. He looks forward to Caca never coming, Nael hopes Caca comes and wants to erase all these misunderstandings.

Nael will also soon cancel her engagement to Sonia even though Nael knows her father will reject her.

***

The day is getting late but Caca has not shown his form, Nael was sad he thought Caca would not come here.

They saw a different aura than Caca. Caca looked cold, icy cold, there was no laughter or a smile on his face. Caca then stepped into the office. He doesn't say hello to everyone, he keeps heading to his desk.

Nael stands in front of Caca, but Caca continues without speaking. Caca then took the key and retrieved the contents from his desk drawer. Caca hugged the memory and put it in the bag and passed it out again.

Nael stops Caca from leaving her room. Nael doesn't want Caca to leave and wants Caca to follow him into his room to explain something. Caca then calls Sandy and gives her the item she was carrying.

Nael is glad Caca wants to come with him. Caca then sits in Nael's room, then gives all the gifts Nael gave to Caca. A gown and gold necklace from Nael, Caca gave it to Nael and said, "Here, all I give back."

Nael refuses Caca's gift and replies to Caca's words. "No Carisa, this is yours, I give this specifically to you."

Nael then clasps Caca's hand but Caca refuses to be touched, she then gives her resignation letter to Nael. Nael grieves, he feels Caca will go far away from her.

"I'm sorry, I have to get out of here" Caca told Nael.

Nael stands up and confronts Caca who wants to get away from her. "Where are you going Carisa? no, you can't go. Sorry for me and Mr. Heru."

"Please step aside .." said Caca in a slightly shrill voice. Caca held back her tears.

Nael looked at Caca who was starting to grieve, he knew Caca was very hurt. Nael then hesitates to hold Caca tightly until Caca can not move, Caca who can not stand to finally cry again in Nael's arms.

Nael looked at Caca's face, then quickly Caca pushed Nael and said, "Please let me get out of here."

Heru comes to Nael and Caca. Then Heru tells Nael to release Caca because Sonia is coming here.

Tris who knew Caca coming to the office, she immediately approached Caca and took him away from there.

Soon Sonia came in and approached Nael. He saw Caca he remembered Caca yesterday at the party, he was sad too. Caca did not budge, he also passed leaving Nael with Sonia. Caca paused for a moment and looked at Sonia and Nael before finally turning away. "Congratulations to your engagement."

Tris and Heru were both unaccompanied, Heru understood that. They then left and left the company.

***

Sonia sees Nael being sad, she feels like there is something special between them, Sonia then starts asking Nael, "Do you love that girl?"

Nael just nodded while looking at the item that Caca had returned. Sonia understood, she also spoke to Nael, "Please don't be sad, I have no intention of taking you from Caca, this is all Mr. Heru and Peter's plan so that Satya doesn't target you."

Nael looks at Sonia and replies to Sonia, "Is that true?"

Sonia then explains and answers Nael's question and reassures him.

"Right, for a while we've been in a relationship like this, your father Heru is desperate for a threat from Satya that will destroy Valen's marriage as well as yours, he was trying to find a way to keep that from happening, Peter came to me and asked me to help him, I agreed for you."

Nael was relieved to hear that, it turned out that Sonia's heart was very good. But how did she explain to Caca about this, seeing Caca turn cold. Nael is afraid Caca won't believe him.

………………………………………………………………………………

On the other side.

Mr. Tris then invites Caca to drive around in his butut car. Caca then smiled.

"Eh, don't get sucked, even if this is my favorite car. The engine is very good and not inferior to the new one," said Mr. Tris proudly.

Caca just smiled, they went with the old car until Mr. Tris took Caca somewhere.

Caca knew the place, well it was Caca's house that used to be with Papa Djuanda. Caca is happy because the building is still nice and well maintained.

Mr. Tris then took Caca inside. Mr. Tris thinks it might make Caca's heart better to let Caca go around his house.

Caca walked into her room as a child. He saw his room was still neatly arranged, the decoration of a royal princess was still there. Her parents' room did not change. Caca later recalled her happy childhood.

He thanked the guards and servants who had taken care of his home.

***

Mr. Tris then took Caca back for a walk, this time he took to one of his father's big companies.

Caca saw the company still stands strong even though there is no production activity, but its greatness never collapsed.

Caca entered the room where his father worked to lead a large company, from which he carried out an assignment and several other charities.

Caca smiled, he approached his father's oversized chair, and touched the large black chair.

"The seat is comfortable, warm and tender" Caca said in his heart.

Caca looked around his father's study, he saw many pictures of his family. Caca then grieves back, but she remembers she has to be strong face all her.

Caca thanked Mr. Tris for bringing her here. "Thank you Mr. Tris for bringing me here."

"Together Ca, well look at the room," replied Mr. Tris.

Caca looked at the room appointed by Mr. Tris, then Caca walked over and asked, "Whose room is Mr. Tris? the room is so close to Papa's workspace."

"That's your mother's office, Felicia," replied Mr. Tris.

"Mama's room, well, she can see Papa working from here," Caca replied and smiled.

Then Caca recalled her workroom which was close to Nael's workspace, just as Mama could see Papa clearly here.

Moments later Mr. Tris gave the keys to the house and office to Caca.

"This is all the key, you leave it to you, one day you have to run this big company."

"Thank you Mr. Tris, I'll try" Caca replied.

"But before that you have to learn a lot, you have to go to college to be able to add knowledge, later the rest of the father who will help you live this company."

"Well Mr. Tris." Caca agreed.

They left the place and returned home.
