"Who said we broke up? We love each other, and we'll never break up." Elle approached Rihan and the others. Rihan himself just grinned and sat casually in his place. Phiranita who heard the voice, immediately turned to the source of the voice.
"You..." Phiranita was shocked when she saw Elle's face.
"Sister.the woman. I clearly remember her face," Phiranita now stood looking at Elle sharply. Rihan just sat back on the couch.
Elle who heard Phiranita's words, stiffened in place. Just one minute, then the woman returned to normal. He did not want to display a suspicious expression. His disguise could be exposed.
"That can't be Ira. I've known Elle for a long time. He couldn't have done that. After all, there is no profit for him to harm lapi and mami." Neo shakes in disbelief. The man then approached Phiranita and lowered his sister's hand which was still pointing at Elle.
"No, Brother! I can't be wrong. I still remember his face. He brought us the drink. By the time he delivered the drink, he was wearing a mask so that he could not see his face. But after he came for the second time, he no longer wore the mask, so his face was clearly visible. My memory cannot be wrong, brother.
If I see the undercover man again for the second time, I will definitely recognize him, even if he wears a mask. I remember clearly what his eyes looked like. I remember, Brother. Trust me!" Phiranita stared pleadingly at Neo.
"Sister believes in you, but sister also believes in Elle." Reply Neo and hugged his sister.
"I can't forget the face of the man who killed my mother, sister, please trust me. Hicks..." Phiranita muttered that she started crying in Neo's arms.
"Calm down, honey." Neo whispered while patting slowly on the back of his sister.
"Han... You believe me, don't you?" Phiranita said after taking off her embrace and looked sadly at Rihan who was still lightly in his place. Rihan did not even turn to look at Elle who was standing behind the sofa he was sitting on.
"I believe in you. But there's no evidence for that. But one thing you should know, Tata. The woman who disguised herself as the nun, would not be able to last much longer with her disguise.
He could have fooled everyone, but not me. The look in someone's eyes clearly shows who he really is. Although the color of his eyes changed though, but that look would never change." Rihan replied flatly and glanced slightly at Neo.
"It's not yet time, Tata. Let the woman do all she can. We just need to sit back and watch the drama he made. If the time comes, all the aces just need to be unlocked." Rihan continued inwardly and then sipped a cup of milk in front of him.
After Rihan said that, there was only silence there. Until Alen came and told him that breakfast was ready.
"If you want to know whether Elle is that sister or not, then from now on get to know yourself so that you know what her true nature is like. If she seems forced to accept your presence, then you must know the answer to her own," Rihan opened his voice before he finally left.
"That bastard! this can't be allowed to." Elle in my heart. Both of his hands were tightly clenched.
...
At the dinner table, everyone ate quietly. Only Neo and Elle look unfeeling. Neo still thinks about Rihan's words. Obviously, the word insinuates someone.
Unfortunately Neo does not want to be prejudiced. The man always muttered in his heart that what he thought was impossible. Sometimes Neo would glance at Elle and then shake his head.
As for Elle, the woman was still upset because of Rihan's words. Several times he had to exhale trying to calm himself.
"If you do not like the food, you should not disturb others who are eating. Their appetites can go away." Said Rihan flat after just a few spoons of him bribing into his mouth.
"Ekhem." Neo exclaimed after waking up from his daydream.
"I'm sorry, too" continued Elle and then ate but was forced to.
After breakfast, Rihan moved to his study. Alex was behind him. As he was about to enter the elevator, Neo suddenly appeared and entered. He said he wanted to come to Rihan's office.
Arriving at the workspace, Rihan immediately headed for his seat of greatness. Alex also joins in but only stands in front of Rihan with his desk limited. Neo himself, sat down on the couch and started reading the files.
"Just..." Neo calls after a few minutes he reads the paper in his hand.
"Hm."
"Do you know anything? I'm sure you know something. It must have something to do with my mother's death."
"No."
"Your words just made me think that way."
"Just your feelings. Don't bother me,"
"Good."
"Sir, there's an email for you" Alex opened his voice after reading the incoming email through the iPad in his hand, then pipped the iPad at Rihan.
"Next week, yeah. Prepare a flight there. I wonder what they want" Rihan replies and gives Alex back his iPad.
"Business trip?" Ask Neo curiously.
"Hm."
"Don't they know who owns R.A Group yet? Why are you going there?" Neo asked frowned.
"Do I have to report all my business plans to you?" Ask Rihan flat.
"Eum... Not really, but.. can I come?"
"Lex, how do you handle people like that?" Rihan looked at Alex in front of him.
"Kill it on the spot, sir." Answer Alex casually.
"I'll try later." Reply Rihan and nod slowly.
"You. sometime we have to duel." Challenge Neo to Alex.
"If you're alive, I'm ready." Alex answered without looking at Neo.
"What do you mean?" Pissed Neo.
"Before we duel, Young Master will definitely shoot you dead first." Reply Alex then glanced at Neo at a glance.
"Ohuk..." A slow cough came from Rihan. Rihan did not expect Alex to be able to say that.
"Please drink, sir." Alex calmly offered a glass of water to Rihan.
"I can't speak. You bosses like to piss people off." Neo muttered and then kneeled his temple.
***
Today is Phiranita's birthday. Mr. Evan has been here since yesterday. Rihan had also prepared a room for the middle-aged lung man. The plan they will do a barbeque in the mansion garden for Phiranita birthday celebration today.
Indeed, after Rihan's previous proposal for Phiranita to familiarize themselves with Elle, it was done tomorrow morning. It was indeed Rihan's plan for Elle to have trouble moving or contacting someone for her plan. Phiranita happily always clings to Elle by force.
Elle, the woman was also forced to accept the presence of her sister-in-law who she thought was very annoying. He always tried to be sincere in front of Phiranita, even though he was looking for an opportunity to harm her, unfortunately always failed.
"What about all the preparations?" Rihan asked Alex and Alen who were standing in front of him. Rihan's two hands were adrift to each other while propping up his chin.
"All preparations are ready, sir. We are already anticipating an attack or interference from outside. We don't want to be cheated again like in America at that time." Alex's voice represents Alen.
"That's great. But, the lack of help is no problem either. That'll add to the excitement tonight." Reply Rihan and grin.
"Ready, Sir! We've also prepared a backup plan anticipating failure later,"
"good job. How has the woman been moving for these few days?"
"He seems frustrated because he's always being watched by Miss Ira." Alen replied and chuckled in light of the events of a few days ago.
"Tata is reliable. You can come back."
"Good, Sir."
After the departure of her two assistants, Rihan was seen pondering.
"Elle's identity is hard to find. It could be that he had something to do with that IT company. Their system is hard to break. Not to mention that underground organization. I was curious about the organization. Hm.. It is very troublesome to interfere in the affairs of others." Rihan murmured in the heart.
"I can't wait for this business trip either. What do they want by inviting to a meeting at their place?" Rihan murmured then leaned back in his big chair and kept thinking.
...
At 7 p.m., everyone was ready in the courtyard of the mansion. Not too many people were invited. Because Phiranita has no friends here, so she asks Rihan to invite David, Albert, Dian and Beatrix. Rihan will meet Beatrix with Phiranita. The rest are just people home.
Among them are Rihan, Alex, Alen, Neo, Logan, Brand, Dom, Phiranita, Max, Elle and Mr. Evan. Everyone is dressed formally tonight because there will be a photo session together later.
In the front yard of the mansion decorated with flower gardens and fish ponds, it became a strategic place for the event tonight. The weather also supports the many stars that adorn the night sky. Phiranita is very happy today, because for the first time she is celebrating a birthday with her family. Unfortunately there is no Mami Dara here. It will feel complete.
The event started at exactly seven o'clock after everyone was present. Albert was chosen by Rihan as the host of this event. Although impromptu, the man only frowned for a while because if told before the event, he could host the event as well as possible, he said.
The show began with the host Albert singing a song for the show's owner. The man also accompanies his own singing with the piano that Rihan prepared there. After that Albert invited Dian to contribute a song with him playing his piano. Lastly, the owner of the show sang in his mediocre voice.
Everyone applauded for the three who were already singing. Next the candle blow event and cut a sizable cake Mr. Evan prepared for his daughter. Phiranita was so happy and moved to make a request before finally blowing out the candles and cutting the cake after everyone sang. Albert also guided the birthday cake to completion.
"Next the gift of the birthday." Albert instructed with passion.
"Sorry before, there was a bit of a technical error. We'll enjoy the barbeque first before the gift." Albert interrupted his own words after Alex came to whisper to him.
Rihan did not want those who saw the reward from him, to faint because they had not eaten. Better to anticipate first.
The waiters then brought barbeque produce to each table to enjoy. About 5 long tables prepared. Before the barbeque is placed on the table, there are already various cakes and drinks for guests, ranging from healthy, fizzy and alcoholic drinks are provided there.
After the waiters served the roast meat at each table, Albert guided the guests to a meal. Lastly, she went down to eat together at a table with David, Beatrix, and Dian.
First table, there's Alex, Alen, Max, Brand, Logan and Dom. The second table is Rihan, Neo, Elle, Mr. Evan and Phiranita. The third table is David, Beatrix, Dian and Albert. Two tables left for the servants and guards.
About an hour later, everyone was enjoying the barbeque, Alex came back to Albert to guide the next event, the gift. Gift giving is done while some people still enjoy the barbeque results no problem. It's past 9 o'clock anyway.
"Guests, we'll be at the gift-giving event for our Princess tonight. Previously, I invited the Princess, to stand in front of here so that everyone could see how beautiful she was. Please, Princess." Albert greeted Phiranita with a big smile.
Phiranita who was sitting next to Mr. Evan immediately stood up and headed forward while raising her little dress dangling on the ground.
"I'm like a little boy you call the princess." Decak Phiranita after standing not far from Albert.
"You are indeed the princess tonight. Really!"
"That's it."
Albert only smiled faintly at Phiranita then turned his gaze towards the guest and began to continue.
"I'll invite the guests sitting at the third table to give me the gift. Please!" Albert stared at the table in question where David and the others were sitting.
The three people sitting at the third table, immediately went forward and gave their respective gifts in quick succession. Starting from David, Dian, Albert's last Beatrix. Phiranita received gifts from them with pleasure. Up to Beatrix, Phiranita was so happy. He hugged his friend happily.
Next the first table. Alex and the others. Upon arriving at Brand, Phiranita stiffens a split minute and returns to normal after recalling a few days ago Rihan explained that Brand had not done anything bad to her. It was the man who helped her. Rihan also added some evidence so the girl believed.
Neo who saw the reaction of his sister to Brand frowned then smiled proudly because he thought his sister was not afraid of Brand at all. Phiranita actually looks to smile sincerely without burden. Neo kept looking at it, and came back to thinking.
"Meanwhile, what that bastard said was true?" Neo murmured in the heart. The man then shook his head in disbelief that Brand was not the traumatized perpetrator of the sister.
The gift giving continued until Rihan's table and the others.
Everyone gave gifts but it was not opened at all by Phiranita. He said he'd open it himself. Up to Rihan, the girl gave a small box containing a necklace that was purchased at that time.
"I have another gift for you too." Rihan said and looked at Alex.
"There again?" Tanya Phiranita frowned.
"Hm."
Alex swiftly stood up and pressed something beside the back sound equipment, until the 2x2 meter monitor screen in front of the guests who have since displayed several photos of Phiranita from the age of 5 years until now, stop.
Now only show the basic color is white. Everyone stared curiously at the monitor screen. Of all the curiosity, only Elle was worried.
"Will that bastard dismantle all my disguises?" Inner Elle was nervous. The woman started biting her fingernails.
Those who sat at the second table were still in front of Phiranita. Including Elle. All eyes are on the monitor screen. Until, the monitor screen displays the face of a middle-aged man who smiled sweetly.
Elle who saw the middle-aged woman's face stiffened in place, and took a few steps back. He was in shock and almost fell, if only Albert would not have held him back.
"How can you?" Elle Mumbled.
"Mommy/Dear baby?" Neo muttered, Mr. Evan and Phiranita almost simultaneously.
