The Destiny of Love You Choose
Chapters 140. The Village Juragan.
Everyone laughed again when they heard Weny's grandmother's clumsiness, while Domi's grandfather just kept quiet while holding his wife's shame.
When it was over, Lewis decided to go home. Before leaving, Ryder asks Lewis not to say anything about Zafran's wounds to anyone, including medical personnel.
"Please tell me if you've come to check on your grandparents' health" Ryder said.
Lewis nodded in understanding. "Well, I won't say anything to anyone else about Zafran. But, may I know what happened to him?" He was curious.
Ryder then says if there is a traitor who wants to destroy it, and all of that is known by Zafran until finally the man's legs become injured.
Lewis nodded his head again. "Alright, I understand, sir. If you need help, then just say it. I'll be happy to help."
Ryder smiled happily at Lewis, Yara's co-worker was already well-known. However, he must remain careful. Do not let events like Bayu happen again.
After taking Lewis away, Ryder went back inside the house and joined the others.
"So, what should we do now?" ask Zafran when Ryder is back.
Ryder speechless. He was still thinking about how to dismantle all the actions of Bayu, also destroy the man for daring to harass him.
"Now I'm sure he's ordering his minions to find you, Zafran. And I'm sure if he finds out that your leg is hurt" Ryder said. "To allay his suspicions against us, tomorrow you must remain before him in good health, and let him know if your foot is hurt."
Yara gasped in shock at Ryder's words. "What do you mean, Ryder? How could he possibly behave as usual while not being able to?" He felt unacceptable.
"What Ryder said is true, Ma'am. If I hadn't been seen in front of him, he would have suspected me and investigated until he finally found out everything" Zafran said.
Yara fell silent. His head throbbed pain from thinking about all this, and he also felt worried about what was happening.
"Wait a minute, it looks like I remember something," Yara said suddenly making everyone turn to look at her. "The night I was at the factory, I accidentally collided with Bayu while going to the bathroom. I think he's eavesdropping on your conversation." He looked towards Zafran and Ryder in turn.
Ryder and Zafran looked at each other in confusion. "Tell me how it happened." Pinta Ryder, she doesn't remember what Yara said.
Yara immediately told the incident when she was in the factory and accidentally collided with Bayu. The man left in such a hurry that he accidentally hit him, and Ryder and Zafran did not come from the same direction for long.
"Are you with him at the time?" ask Yara.
Ryder and Zafran shook their heads simultaneously. "really. He must have eavesdropped on our conversation about the beam hook, and then he must have changed the hook. Because when I looked, the hook was different from what Zafran said." Ryder.
Well, everything makes sense. Meaning that Bayu has always been watching them, only those who are not sensitive and are not aware of what the man is doing.
"Tomorrow morning I will meet Mr. Edward, he is the owner of the factory first. I have to talk about this and ask for his help" Ryder said. Not knowing anymore who he could trust in this village other than Domi's grandfather and Weny's grandmother, that's why he chose to ask Edward for help.
"Grandfather agrees, Ryder," said Domi. "Edward will definitely help expose Bayu's bej*at behavior all along, and he also still has some people who are very loyal to him."
Ryder nodded. Then she told Yara to rest in her room, as it was no longer possible to drive the woman home to her usual home.
"I'm going to sleep outside with Zafran, so get in my room and get some rest because it's late" Ryder said.
Yara nodded. He then went to the bathroom first to wash his face before going to bed accompanied by Domi's grandmother.

The next day, as Ryder said last night, she rushes to Edward's house after escorting Yara back to the house she was in.
Ryder did not go alone because Zafran was with her, but was banned and had to stay at home. The man was even forced to wear socks so that his wounds would be invisible to others, really very stubborn.
Zafran. "I can still stand it if it's just like this, come on!" He got off the motor while frowning in pain.
Ryder gave a rough sigh. Somehow he felt more guilty about what Zafran did. He promised never to forget all the sacrifices of the man, and promised that he would always help Zafran under any circumstances.
"Why dream?"
Ryder gasps at Zafran's voice. "Yes-yes. Come on, let's go in!" He came down from the bike and walked slowly beside Zafran, it was clear that the man was currently holding back pain while stepping foot.
Ryder then knocked on the door of the house in front of him. Not long after that the door of the house was open. "Sorry to interrupt, Bik. I want to meet Mr. Edward."
"Well, Mr. Ryder. Please come in, sir," said the middle-aged woman, inviting Ryder and Zafran to enter. She was a maid in Edward's house. "For a moment, sir, I call Mr. Edward first. Please sit down."
Ryder nodded her head and sat down on the sofa in the living room, as did Zafran who had even sat down before being invited.
"Astaghfirullah, the pain," murmured Zafran. His feet were like walking on a needle until the pain reached the crown.
"That's why you're at home for a break, but you're willing to come along" Ryder said, upset with the man's stubbornness.
Zafran just smiled. He wanted to know what they were talking about later, and he also wanted to meet a man named Edward.
"Well, who's my guest of honor?"
Rayder and Zafran immediately looked up at the stairs when they heard someone's call, a handsome middle-aged man smiling towards the two of them.
"Good morning, Mr. Edward. I'm sorry to interrupt" Ryder said with a smile.
"No, you don't bother Mr. Ryder at all" Edward argued, shaking his hand. "I'm glad you came here after all this time."
Ryder nodded. Indeed, they had not met for a long time because Edward spent a lot of time in the city after handing over the entire plantation and factory to him.
"How are you, hem? I hear you've got a lover now," asked Edward in a derision making Ryder chuckle softly.
"of course. I'll introduce him to you later. But don't stare at him for too long, or later you'll be hooked."
Edward immediately laughed at Ryder's words. Somehow he always laughed easily when he was with the man, just when he was with his son.
"Yes yes. Then you must be careful of me" cried Edward. He turned to look at the man sitting beside Ryder. "Who is this handsome man beside you? Is he Zafran?"
Zafran was surprised that the man already knew his name, while Ryder was no wonder because Edward already knew his name before they met.
"Really, Sir. My name is Zafran, I am the younger brother of Doctor Yara who was assigned to this village" said Zafran.
Edward nodded his head. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Zafran. I've heard a lot about you from the neighbors, it turns out your good looks are comparable to Ryder. Eleven twelve." Clumsily.
Ryder and Zafran chuckled at Edward's rant, then suddenly Zafran's gaze locked onto a photo located above the nightstand right next to the middle-aged man.
"Wait, why is the person who was photographed the same face as the person I saw at the factory that night?"
