Feeling their strange position, Rihan immediately woke up and put on a flat face while staring at Neo who was also trying to get up.
"He's a man, why am I the one pounding? Is it because it takes too long alone? It can't be!" Inner Neo shook his head.
"Are you okay, Uncle?"
"Yes. I'm kind. How's yours?"
"I'm good too."
"Eh. she..." Shocked Neo, because when he turned his eyes towards the leader of the group, there was only his corpse which was being stared at by his fellow members.
Rihan did not answer Neo's curiosity because Rihan believes Neo will definitely think for himself who did it, considering Neo had seen the action and Gledy earlier.
"Tell Brand not to lure me." Said Rihan to those who were sitting in the middle of the road.
"This time I'll give you a chance to get out of here. One. two. ti..."
Not reaching the count of three they had all forced themselves to run quickly towards their car without caring for the bodies of their two friends.
"Bring up your friend's corpse and bury it properly." Rihan sighed because of their unfaithful behavior.
After saying that, four men got out and carried their friend's corpse into the car and they then left after saying goodbye by honking the car horn.
"Where do you know that's Brand's job? Didn't he have his own subordinates, why pay for the group?" Neo asked while shaking off the dust on his clothes.
"Of course." Rihan is lazy to explain right now.
"Hm. Still want to go there?" Neo asked stared at Rihan intensely. The one being stared at was just ordinary and returning the gaze was cold.
"Serah Uncle. If uncle feels tired, we should just go home. There's still another time."
"I'm doing fine. Come on!" For Neo, this was nothing with his training all along. Wrestling was only considered as a small exercise stretching the muscles.
Rihan only replied with a nod of his head and switched to his car. The two then go hand in hand with Neo as a road-bearer.
Rihan just relax driving his car while occasionally looking at the surrounding wild plants on the left and right side of the road until they finally arrived at the river bank.
...
"We are like lovers hahaha..." Canda Neo opens the conversation.
The one who saw it would think they were lovers because to meet alone one had to get to the exit of the capital and end up in a quiet place.
Neo actually does not like to talk much, but if he does not open his voice first then the interlocutor who also seems to be indifferent to the circumstances, will remain that way.
Rihan himself knows what he's thinking. His gaze was straight ahead. There was no intention to answer Neo. Not because Rihan didn't hear what Neo said.
"What are you thinking?" Neo asks and gently touches Rihan's arm with his index finger so that Rihan is aware that he is being spoken to.
"Eitherway. At least this tiredness is a little less." Reply Rihan who realized from his daydream then inhaled a little air that felt refreshing.
"You're right! It's the umpteenth time I've been here but it still feels good."
"Usually this river will be visited by several people to play. And the first time I met someone who came at dawn. I don't know why he came at that time." Neo remembered the person talking to him back then.
"Then what happened to him?" Rihan asked who was suddenly curious.
"Just talk as necessary, because our positions are sitting far apart without knowing who is being spoken to. At least his arrival back then made me feel better."
"Did he do something for you, Uncle?" Rihan asked now aware of who Neo meant. Who else if not him alone.
"I'm worried about that name. Can you call me by any other name than uncle? I feel old." The Neo protest looked at Rihan annoyed.
"Since I called you uncle, you didn't protest. Why change now? How old is uncle?"
"I was worried for a long time too. I'm 24 years old. You yourself must be a dozen years old, right?"
"I'm 18 years old. I think 27 or 28-year-old uncles remember this big uncle." Rihan looked at Neo from top to bottom, while Neo was in a sitting position.
"Well..so my face is that old?" Neo did not believe it.
"I'm kidding! I'll call Makak then." Break Rihan up and then nod.
"Now answer my question."
"He didn't do anything for me. It's just that his presence at the time made me feel better. I wanted to thank him but didn't have time because there was an urgent situation."
"Oh, yeah. Does your sister know him?"
"No. Nor does his face know."
"What about the sound?"
"The voice..." Neo's words are stuck. The man turned to stare probing at Rihan.
"It certainly wasn't me. It's my first time here." I don't know why Rihan doesn't want Neo to know it's him.
"yes too! Some people have the same voice." Reply Neo looked back at the river in front of him. Rihan only replied with a nod.
"I'm curious about something," Neo asked turned his gaze towards Rihan. Rihan raised his eyebrows next to a question mark.
"Why did you refuse the cooperation I proposed for the Faithful Hospital?"
"If you were in my position, would you accept it?" Ask Rihan back.
"yes too. At least give a logical reason why you rejected it?"
"No reason whatsoever."
"All right, I get it."
After that, the two of them quietly looked forward.
"Would something be built near here, a halfway house for example?" Rihan fishing rod because it was only remembered if Logan this morning sent a resort development proposal to the branch director of R.A Group.
"My company plans to build a resort here." Answer Neo honestly.
"Recount? That's a good thought. When will it be built? "
"depends."
"depends? " Return Rihan.
"Yes. Depending on what proposal we submit for R.A Group is accepted or not."
"Why wait for their approval? Can't you build your own resort without the help of funds from anywhere?"
"I understand that! Unfortunately, this land until now had no idea who it belonged to."
"yes too. This land is listed as belonging to the R.A Group." Inner Rihan nodded.
"All I know is that this land is under the auspices of the R.A Group, so we have to put a proposal on them."
"Hm. Why do you want to build a resort here?"
"Just want people who enjoy the beauty of this river can enjoy it longer without having to go back and forth every day to here."
"A good plan. Try brother, I'm sure the proposal will be accepted."
"I know."
"It's late afternoon, we'd better go home. I have something to do." Rihan stood up to leave.
"yes too. Comeing! I also hope that our relationship will be better in the future." Reply Neo stood up.
"Look at it later." Rihan's inner but nodding affirms Neo's words.
The two then returned to their respective homes because the time had shown at 5 pm.
