Happy reading..

The Adjieran Smith Company

“Heart.” Andrew approached Fania who was sitting waiting for him while reading a magazine on Andrew's private indoor sofa at the Company.

“Hem?.” Fania turned to Andrew who was sitting next to her, and Fania closed the magazine she was reading. “Why did you forget again if there was a meeting?.” Reciprocity. “Ga what – what the hell, I can kok see the land for my cafe itself.”

“Not it.” Andrew Sahut. “I forgot to say that the day after tomorrow we are going to Jakarta.”

“Sudden pocket?. Two J already got a place in Jakarta, or you have a job there?.” Fania was a little surprised because Andrew arrived – to take her to Jakarta.

“Not two – in both.” Andrew again.

“Then?.” Ask Fania.

“There are a few problems I want to take care of in Jakarta.”

“What problems?.”

“Jeff.”

Fania was a little surprised.

“Why with Brother Jeff?.”

“It looks like he is already a Dad now.”

“What?!.”

**

Fania and Andrew and Andrea of course. Dad and Mom arrived in Jakarta.

“That's how the story knows – know Jeff Kak has a three-year-old child?.” The soul of kepo the Kajol squirms.

“That's why we hunted – to fly here. Mom is also curious.” Sahut Mom's. “There are – in Jeff.” Mom geleng – geleng.

“It is not yet clear exactly. Because Jeff has not been able to find a woman who is suspected of being pregnant and giving birth to her child, then hide it for three years.”

“Tumben. Usually he works if he is looking for info.”

“He's trying, Heart. Already searched the address listed in the Company but it turns out the woman had moved since four years ago. It was not a house, but an apartment. And the woman is just a rental.

“Emang doesn't have that family?.” Ask Fania again.

“Kan still wanted to know, Mommanya Andrea ...”

Andrew squeezed Fania's nose. Dad and Mom just chuckled.

***

The Adjieran Smith Family Formation was almost complete when five people who had just arrived from London arrived at the Main House in Jakarta.

Minus Michelle plus the Cemara Family is not there. Including the gods.

“Sini, Andrea equals me.” Ara grabs Andrea from Mom's cradle. “I changed her clothes all ya Sweety?.”

Ara held Andrea in a fit of anxiety.

“Sini let me change, Kak.”

“Udah yes, you rest first. Mommy's guy misses this. Is it Dad R?.” Said Ara again along with Reno and Varen who were already standing near her. “Kaka Varen also misses. Right my Prince?.” Varen was enthusiastic.

“Ya udeh, iye Fairy Godmother.”

“I take Andrea to the room first, yes?.” Said Ara while walking towards the stairs. “Bi Cici or who's gonna bring Andrea's equipment to my room.” Say again.

“Iya Nyah.” Sahut Fania and the others just chuckled. ‘Heran, whose mother is Andrea anyway?.’

“Start talking Jeff.” Andrew opened his voice.

Jeff took a breath.

“Well, so that time I was the same John again ate at .. bla .. bla ..” Jeff started his story. From the start of the John who saw it was a child similar to Jeff until finally Jeff got a CCTV video recording from a restaurant where there was a boy – boy who said John like a replica of his small face Jeffs.

“It is you, Jeff. (This is you, Jeff ).” Dad said as John showed a copy of the video footage on his phone to Dad.

“This is definitely your son Jeff, no waste at all.” Mom who watched the video.

“Yes, I guess so. (Yes, I think so ).” Jeff said with his breath. “But that woman was hiding him from me!. (But the woman hid it from me! ).” He seems a little angry. “Why?. ( Why? ). Does he plan to blackmail me through the boy?.”

“Ya you don't think about it either. If he wants to blackmail you why he hid it's a child, try?.” Fania. “Surely he has another reason if in my opinion anyway.” Added.

“Gue agreed with Fania. If the woman was going to blackmail you, she could do it when she found out that

herself pregnant child lo.” Andrew.

“But I was right – really did not think, why did he hide that child from me, if it was my child?.”

Jeff's face was full of question marks.

“The bottom line is that you still have doubts that the child is not a child lo?.” Big brother comes to voice.

“If I say not sure, it's son, like you guys see (as you guys see ), right – really looks like me. And guepun also did not deny the resemblance.”

“But ...?.”

Fania gave Jeff a question mark.

Jeff again – again sighed. “But I have to keep meeting them face to face. The boy and his mother.”

“Lo have a photo of that girl Kak?. I want to see the face of a girl who is willing to become pregnant with a child lo trus want – want to give birth

and raising a kid playboy big kayak lo.”

“Ga to avoid.” Timpal Jeff's. “Nih.” Jeff gave Fania his phone.

“This Brother? She's the one?..” Fania looked at the photo on Jeff's phone and then looked at Jeff.

“Iya, dia.” Jeff Sahut. “Gue inget never met him at the club and well, you know what happens after (you know what happens next ).”

“Fortunately tuh cewe sake also.” Chirps John. “Lumayan is Jeff buy one get one..  So Dad equals Mom ..”

“This is Jihan.” Fania made a sound before John finished his sentence again. All eyes turned on

Fania. Moreover, Jeff who was rebutted because Fania mentioned the name of the woman in the photo that he showed on his phone, even though Jeff had not told the name of the woman. And the picture of the woman he caught on his cell phone from the identification mark was just his face.

“Lo... know, Jol?...” Jeff asked half stuttered.

Fania nodded for sure.

“Chel, I love you. But baby I just love a sister to her sister. Ga more. And I'm married now. Sorry, Chel ...”

“What...?.”

Michelle was shocked to death. Said quietly and softly. He looked into Ryan's hand. And well there's a wedding ring around there.

‘How can I don’t see that ring?. (How could I not see the ring? ).’

A tear fell on Michelle's cheek. Ryan tried to remove it.

“I can delete it myself.”

Michelle slapped Ryan's hand spontaneously. And he immediately positioned his seat upright, facing straight while holding tight in the throat and squeeze that felt so painful in his heart.

Ryan seemed to be breathing heavily. He felt a little guilty and also did not have the heart for Michelle who seemed as hard as she could try not to cry at this time.

“I’m so .. sorry ... Chels. (I'm right – right.. apologize... Chel ).”

“You don't need to apologize, Yan.” Michelle said slowly. “I'm the one who should be apologizing.”

“You're not wrong, Chel.”

Michelle chuckles bitterly. “Bitchy me, huh?. (What a cheap one am I? ). Kissing people's husbands lips ..”

“Chel ....”.

“I first yes.” Michelle stood up from her seat.

Ryan stood up spontaneously.

“I inter.”

“Ga required. I can go home by myself. Excuse me.”

“Gin Martinis!.” Michelle was at a pub in Italy.

“Si, Signorina. ( Fine, Miss ).” A bartender agreed to Michelle's order and immediately made a drink like the young Miss in front of him asked for. Then gave it to Michelle who immediately downed her in a hurry.

“Ancora!. ( Again! ).”

“Si. (Good ).”

“Ancora!. ( Again! ).”

 “Sei Sicuro, Signorina?. (Are you sure, Miss? ).”

“Ancora! One more! Do you get it?!. ( Again! Do you know the hell lo?! ).”

“Hey, Michelle?!...”

A man held Michelle's hand, wanting to drink in her hand. Michelle was half surprised to see someone holding her hand. But the girl was half drunk.

“What happened to you?. (Lo why? ). “

“Don’t mind me ... (Don't mind me ..... ).” Michelle's tears escaped to her cheeks.

“Don't think I don't care, look at you like this. Chels. Why are you this?. Let me take you home.”

Jakarta, Indonesia

“What?!. ( What?! ).”

Andrew's shrieking voice that was receiving the phone made Fania surprised and immediately approached her husband.

“CK!.” Andrew clucking. “You find out all her friends in Italy. I’ll call August. (You find out all his friends

in Italy. I'll call August ).”

“Why, D?.” Fania immediately asked when Andrew had finished receiving the phone call on his phone. “Is there something with Michelle?.”

“He didn't come to the office yesterday. Her phone died, Beatrice said. And Beatrice checked that kid into her apartment and Michelle wasn't there. Haish!.”

Andrew panicked and was upset.

Fania was worried.

‘Duh ilah one, belom kellar. There's aja.’ Fania.

“I want to call my guy first in Italy, Heart. You got off first huh?.”

Fania nodded. He grabbed his phone.

Trying to call Michelle's number. Although Andrew said his sister's phone was dead.

Who knew Fania was lucky, right?.

“Haduuh Michelle. Lo why si ..?.”

Right what Andrew said, if Michelle's phone seems inactive. But Fania did not lose her mind.

He opened the sosmed application, because Michelle is classified as active in using it.

Fania opened Michelle's account. Michelle's last post was like it was on the roof top of a cafe.

But Fania saw nothing strange.

“Eh wait, wait.”

Fania remembered something like that. As soon as his face was over, he half ran back to his room to see Andrew.

“D!.”

“Sh ..” The surprised Andrew did not continue his curse. “Yes Lord Heart.” Andrew said, holding his chest, and Fania showed me his teeth.

“That's a shock, Donald Duck.” Fania chuckles while menoel Andrew's chin.

“Wah asked to be tied in bed. Don't know anyone else panicking?.”

“What's the connection try, panic the same connect me in bed?.”

Andrew chuckles. “Ya can eliminate my panic for a moment.” He hugged Fania's waist. "Come on."

“Sempet – perfect ish!.” Fania chuckled and Andrew chuckled again.

“What's up, hem?.” Ask Andrew.

“I know who can find Michelle in Italy.” Answer Fania. “Nih, she is also again in Italy.” Fania shows the screen on her phone to Andrew.
