My Family's Gift
Engagement Day

The day that Ai and I will be engaged, now the time is 6 pm and the event will be held in the backyard of Mr. Gumelar's house.

I wear a black suit with a white shirt as an interior, and also a black tie.

actually I was very lazy to come to an event like this, although there was a sense of pleasure that I would soon be engaged to Ai, but I think this event is a bit excessive, he said, because I'm sure behind this show Dad has a plan.

Then my mother and father boarded the same car and immediately headed for Mr. Gum's house.

"Liam.." said Dad.

"yes yeah?". my saut.

"watch. look...study..."

The words of my father wrapped with the exact same smile when brother Ai died at that time, even my hair came up to be creeped out just because he saw his smile. I was immediately afraid that if anything happened to Ai, would he kill Pak gum this time? or maybe his wife?.no. like it's not that, because dad is not a person who likes to do things that are too flashy like that, what else will be attended by some officials and also father colleagues, then what he is planning.

About 30 minutes on the way we arrived at Ai's house, with mixed feelings, because I was still thinking about what plan my father would do, I also had to force a smile on my face to greet the many guests present.

When I wanted to go to the kitchen to go to the back garden, suddenly there was a woman calling me.

"liammmm... how are you.." said the woman.

"cindy? you cindy? it's been a long time". said I with a big smile.

A short-haired woman with a neck, with thick eyebrows, as her trademark. Cindy is the son of one of the father's right-handers in her company, and Cindy is also my SD friend, too, but the last time I met him was probably about 5 years ago when there was a big event from my dad's office.

"wohh now wants a fiancee". Cindy said with her sweet smile.

"haha yeah that's it.

We had a long conversation, until Pak gum and his wife came to me to say hello, and I had to leave Cindy.

"wah handsome really our future daughter-in-law pah". said Bu Yuhiko.

"ahh aunty can, by the way Ai where aunty?" ask me.

"still on top, her makeup is soon done.

In the middle of my conversation with Ai's parents, I suddenly got a whisper from the elder, he asked me to go to a quiet place because there was something he wanted to talk about, I followed him and went to the front of the house.

"Liam.. I felt Khilaman being barren around the house.

"the glitch? what is that?". I asked.

"khilaman is another name for such a large black sea serpent with a dragon-like head.

"what is she on? do you know anything about Dagon?". I asked to call Dagon.

"the ordinary glare will appear only when there is a great calamity such as an earthquake or a mountain eruption, to eat the souls who will go to the afterlife... but I don't know the reason why he's here". said Dagon who also did not bring his form.

"by the way, if the silence is so great, why can't I see it.

"it is precisely because the bigger it is, even I did not realize that the sky has been covered by his body.

"Where mung-"

My words were cut off when I looked up, I realized I could not see the moon or the stars in the sky.

"oi elder. don't tell me.." I said.

"yes as I said before, he is so big that I did not realize that his body was already covering the sky.

I just saw total darkness in the sky there, what exactly is he doing here? was this part of my plan from the beginning, then what I should do.

"can't we just kick him out?" ask me.

"no.. it is impossible. Because it is so strong, he is like an untouchable creature to us Devils, the nation, my old friend said he was one of the 3 Dajjal pets, and yet he had no sense, unlike his other demons, he was like a lion who always felt hungry, and will eat anything as long as he can eat.

"Is there really no other way? because my feelings are really bad.

"Should be able to find out who called him, but be honest.. I still doubt that man or genie can call him, because I have never heard of a Ritual to summon him.". answer Dagon.

"Top group? who has--"

Suddenly I remembered something, about a demon whose strength was even on par with an angel.

"Chairman... do you remember about the genie who was in the Asem coral Castle at that time.

"yes.of course I remember".replied the elder.

"he said that there is a demon who has the same power as the angel of God, and the only reason he is not called an angel because he is a dissident..do you think there is a connection?". ask me

"it can be. because not just any creature can call it.

I was busy talking to my khadams, near my father who came from home.

"just calm down. I promise I won't touch your fiancee, as long as you're the boy you want to be.

Like his father realized that I was talking about the glare or about his plan.

"then what is he doing here.

Although father is a very devious person, but he is the one who will always keep his promise, then do I have to eliminate my worry this?, I still can't guess his plan.

Then while occasionally looking up at the sky, I went back inside the house and tried to dispel this misgivings, because the most important thing for me right now is Ai and I don't care about anything else.

While I was chatting with my father's colleagues, I saw Kristin coming down from the 2nd floor with a woman in a white dress, which was very attentive to the guests, including me.. who else if not Ai.

"long wait, huh? sorry yes.was her fairy stuck, so late deh.

"pub? hellooo?" her word

"a..ahh.pardon ..he just relax".say me with a smile.

Though this was not the first time I met Ai, but this feeling, was exactly the same as I felt when I met her at the restaurant back then, I became nervous in front of her and did not dare to look her in the eye directly.

"very repot deh mamah.masa must wear a long gini dress.

"y.ya. her name also wants her daughter to look ca..cantik". said I groggy.

"you why the hell? very strange tumben. yaudah yuk, the event wants to start". he said while pulling my left arm.

Then Ai invited me to go to the back garden, but on our way there, I saw Mr. Gum was looking to pick up the phone, and when he picked up his phone, he said, his face instantly 180° changed, looks anxiety and fear that looks so clear on his face, actually who he was on the phone.

Then I realized that my father was staring at Mr. Gum from the front door, with a smile filled with mystery as to whether the phone was included in his plan.

Ai who was unaware of that, still pulled me to the back garden. When we arrived, there were a lot of guests present, and a stage that covered the pool.

Not long after Pak gum and his wife went up on stage, looks anxious and frightened face still not gone from the face of Mr. Gum, the, however his wife is also like her yet to realize about her husband's situation.

"te..thank you.su.su already want to attend". said Mr. gum stammering.

Then his wife looks a little pinch pak gum thighs with the aim so as not to embarrass them.

"Before we start our son's engagement, I have something to say... That I will sell 60% of my parent company shares to Mr. Hanum.

Immediately, the look on his wife's face turned to be so shocked, not only him.. Even the guests were surprised by his statement.

A look of confusion also appeared on Ai's face, he also seemed to not believe what his father had just said. But when I looked at my Father and Mother, their faces showed a satisfied smile that was directed at all the guests.

"We both decided to unite our two parent companies, thank you for your attention and please enjoy the party.

Then it was our turn to take the stage, just to introduce ourselves.

Long story short, after the event was finished we immediately went home with a sense of question marks.

"pah.. actually Mr. Gumelar why? and why did papah call the creature?". asked me in the car.

"the father just threatened her a little". she said with a sly smile while stroking my head.

"threatening? by summoning such a creature? I don't understand it at all".I replied.

"no.. the creature was prepared for the real plan, papah just wanted to be more efficient. because my target is not just him.

"what exactly is papah's purpose? until I have to unite me with Ai". I asked again who ventured.

"Father wants to control the entire company of the gumelar, that's all." he said.

"Why is my father so obsessed with Mr. Gumelar that it's like this.

"Liam is enough, your questions are too many.

"it's okay... This child will inherit everything I have later..Why am I obsessed with gumelar? I admit that there is a bit of a grudge, but. gumelar will only be a rung for us to go higher.

I was more confused with the behavior of my father, starting from about a month ago, his nature was like a drastic change in me, usually he was very cold and lazy to interact with me... but now, he always answered my questions, even stroking my head often.

Don't mistake.. I still hate him as such a cunning human being, but in my heart, I don't spare my feelings, that I like this change in his attitude, but, I began to recognize the figure of my father trying to get close to me.

"Well..may I ask you one more thing.

"hmm.

"Actually who can summon the creature?". I asked curiously.

"Our master." she replied with a faint smile.
