Rihhane Of Story's
Pantry

Today is Neo's mother's funeral. All the relatives came to the funeral. Neo's father also came in a wheelchair. The lung-aged man was close to having a heart attack hearing two bad news at once. First, his beloved wife died and his daughter was kidnapped.

Fortunately Neo's father, whose real name is Evaninno Jacon Chixeon, has no history of heart disease so the middle-aged man is fine.

The private burial ground was only attended by close relatives so that it could be counted on the fingers. Everyone dressed in all black stared at the mound of land with a name they were very familiar with. Venindara Ranya Chixeon's.

It was seen that the female relatives were crying, while the male relatives were just staring with various expressions. Neo himself holds a wheelchair and stands right next to the mami's grave.

Although it looks beyond their ordinary faces, but believe me, losing someone who means a lot to us is not something ordinary. Both do not know what to say. They could only stare at the grave of their loved one.

Neo clenched his hand which clasped the papi wheelchair firmly. He promises inwardly to avenge the death of his mother and to seek out his sister. After coming home from here, Neo will probably be busy taking care of Phiranita's search. His father will be taken care of by a private doctor.

Rihan with Alex who also participated in the funeral just silent. Both of them also had flat expressions. Rihan remained calm as usual as Neo's mother's real body was with him.

Since Rihan is taking care of the funeral, it's not that difficult to swap Neo's mother's body for another corpse that looks a little similar.

Before the funeral, Rihan had obtained the poison results along with the antidote. When tested, it turns out that the poison is a poison that makes people who consume it lose their heart rate for 6 hours. You could say some kind of poison.

If time passes and the antidote to the poison is not given then the person's heart will completely stop beating and be declared dead forever. Grateful the antidote to the poison was given prematurely to Neo's mother so that the middle-aged lung woman finally regained consciousness.

Rihan now thinks the exact reason the poison was given to both Neo parents. If they wanted to kill, why would they use poison? Whether they're carrying the poison wrong, or it's already their plan, who knows.

It was possible that they had intentionally done that for others to think both of Neo's parents were dead and buried. After that they will tell you the actual function of the poison so that Neo might regret it. When thinking about that, Rihan could only shake his head. Maybe the thought just popped up.

For now, Rihan will be hiding Neo's mother's whereabouts from being noticed by the enemy. After all, the middle-aged woman had already agreed with Rihan's plan.

Despite the pity with the two men who were currently just putting on a flat expression on the mound of earth in front of them, but all for their good as well. Let the enemy be happy first. That's the slogan Rihan always wears.

After the funeral was over, everyone went home. Only Rihan, Neo, Neo's father, Alex and Logan remain. Rihan and the two personal assistants stood two meters from the tomb to give Neo and the papi some space. After they finished, they returned home to the main mansion of the Chixeon family. Rihan and Alex are in the car, while Logan drives for Neo and his father.

...

"Night, Miss Dara will leave for France with some members of the shadow guard. They will use regular flights to avoid being suspicious" Alex reported while driving.

"Hm. Remember not to be careless. I've also told our plans to mama and papa in France so that mama will take care of aunt Dara until she recovers." Rihan replied flatly with his gaze pointed out the car window.

"Good, Sir."

"There's a clue from Tata's search?" Rihan asked in the same position.

"All we got was the footprints of two people who were confirmed to belong to Miss Phi and the kidnapper. Vehicle tracks were also found around the place leading to the motorway so we had a little trouble because there were a lot of car tires with the same brand.

Not to mention the toll road cctv when it's dead so there's no clue whatsoever, sir. But we'll keep trying to find."

"Hm. Where's Brand now?"

"Brand is still in Indonesia, sir. You suspect him?"

"No."

"Isn't he also Mr Neo's enemy? He's also after Miss Phi,"

"If he kidnaps Tata, I agree. But for the plot to kill it's impossible because Brand won't kill Neo's mother whom he's known for a long time."

"So he could have done it because he had taken a grudge against Mr. Neo,"

"Eitherway. I'm not sure,"

"Is this the girl's plan?" Alex muttered and then glanced at Rihan through the rearview mirror.

"Can be. Do you know where he is?" Rihan asked Alex.

"Find it to continue its existence."

"Ready, Sir."

***

The night in the Mlmansion of the Chixeon family was so big, it looked silent. Understand because it's 9 p.m. Everyone has rested. Not to mention they were in a mourning mood.

Rihan had also told Alex to rest so he just sat alone on the bed while leaning on the head of the bed playing his phone. Feeling thirsty, Rihan glanced at the glass on the nightstand beside him, apparently empty.

Rihan finally decided to go out of the room to get a drink. Coincidentally the pantry belongs to the Neo family, rather it was made by Neo who if it was for, or a lot of thought would stop by there. The pantry or mini bar is on the second floor near the guest room that Rihan occupied.

Rihan knew the existence of the pantry because after arriving at the Chixeon family mansion, the butler there took him around with Alex. Because the Pantry is in a room that is also not locked, so anyone can go in there.

The name is pantry or mini bar, but not only provided alcoholic beverages or soft drinks, but also provided other drinks including mineral water because Neo also thought of his family or other relatives who could enter there at any time.

Rihan was already in front of the pantry entrance. Opening it, Rihan then went inside. His eyes first focused on a man sitting with a bottle of alcohol and a glass of alcohol in front of him.

Sighing for a moment, Rihan headed for the refrigerator and picked up a bottle of mineral water then headed towards where the man was sitting. When Rihan sat down, the man in front of him was apparently unaware of his existence.

"Are you okay, brother?"

"Eh... Since when are you there?" Asked the man who was none other than Neo.

"Yesterday," Reply Rihan flatly and open the lid of the bottle of mineral water in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice your arrival." Reply Neo and then smile thinly.

Rihan who saw the thin smile clearly knew that the smile was very forced. That smile in Rihan's eyes was a smile full of sadness.

"It's okay, Brother."

"Why not sleep?" Neo asked after gulping down the glass filled with alcohol in it.

"Sister Neo too why haven't you slept?" Rihan asked back after pouring the contents of the bottle of alcohol into an empty glass belonging to Neo.

"Can't sleep" Neo replies and drinks the alcohol Rihan poured over.

"I can't sleep either" Rihan replied after gulping down the mineral water in his hand. Rihan turned to stare at every corner of this pantry.

"You know, brother, maybe we're feeling sad right now, but believe me, tomorrow that grief might be replaced with another happiness." Rihan murmured when a moment of silence.

"I knew. But why two people at once, Rei?" Neo's voice was slow.

"The word is simply kidnapped, brother. Rest assured if she'll be okay."

"Hopefully," Neo without using a glass, Neo immediately gulped down the contents of the alcoholic drink.

"Why does everyone when in a state of mind like to drink this?" Rihan asked when he managed to forcibly take the bottle in Neo's hands.

"I just want to forget about today, Rei." Neo stared at the bottle of alcohol in Rihan's hand.

"Tomorrow the memory will come again. After that, this drink is again sought. And so on until you unknowingly have damaged your own body." Reply Rihan flat.

"I'm..." Neo doesn't know what to say.

"What do you want Neo to do now?" Rihan asked staring fixedly at Neo's amber eye bead.
