The End of the Road
The Chapter 70

New Steps

A week has passed. Arin's wounds are dry and he has started to be able to move like before. Arin has also been at work. And then he could go to college too.

And so is Fian. He's healed too. I can go to college again. Fian is ready to live his new life. He will certainly move towards his goal.

Semester exam in a moment . Fian had to prepare for it all. He wanted to maintain the student duty he had earned all this time. Given all his parents' treatment, Fian was always determined to be independent. He promised himself not to trouble his parents.

Although his parents also still bear all the costs of education and tuition. But all the money his parents gave him saved in his savings without any reduction. Fian had been working without his mother's knowledge. Fian is smart and he uses his intelligence to work part-time. Without anyone's knowledge, even Nando doesn't know. Fian purposely hid Everything for the good of all.

Fian was not as smart now. But since the incident Arin who had been sick for six months, he began to think. He was always dependent on Arin. And by the time Arin was sick, his academic grades were coming down and that's when Fian's mind started to open up, Fian promised not to depend on Arin. He began to work hard to learn. Either from books or from the internet. And it's true that there are results now. Even her parents did not know about it. Didn't know that Fian was now reliable. Didn't know that Fian went to college with a scholarship.

"Ma.. Fian left first, yeah."

"Yes Fian. Go home from college straight home. What semester exams are over."

"Not yet, three days less Ma."

"OK deh. Studying hard yes. Let what you aspire to achieve."

"Yes ma, Amin thank you Ma.Fian left first."

Fian kissed Mama's hand with reverence. The feeling is always warm if you see the attention of mama like this. But other times mama will look so hearty to him. However, the attitude of his mother, he never hated his mother.

Fian drove his bike slowly, he did not want to rush. There's still plenty of time. This time he deliberately did not go with Nando because Fian wanted to stop by first to the company where he worked.He received services to make financial statements for small companies that need his services. His salary was enough to pay for college and also make him snack for a month. Because indeed he holds not only one company but there are several companies that believe in it.

This job used to be done accidentally. One day while he was shopping in a store, the store was having financial problems and at that time Fian came and could find out the fraud committed by the store employees. Until now the store owner still uses the services of the Fian. I also believe in Fian. And Fian just found out that it turns out the store has three branches.

The shop owner was very good. He recommended Fian to his friends. Be the Fian as you are now. Get an offer also from the friends of the store owner. He's been doing this job for two years.

"Finally arrived too. May Adam come."

Fian stopped his bike at a grocery store that looked so rame even though it was still early in the morning. Many buyers are lining up at the cashier. Time still shows at nine in the morning. The shop has rame. Because it is cheaper here and the service is satisfactory.

"Santi, has Adam come?" Fian asked Santi one of the employees who worked at the store.

"Not yet, it may still be on its way. Please wait inside as usual." Answer Santi. He was serving a slightly chatty buyer. It's this and that. But as employees we must serve the buyer in a friendly and courteous manner.

"Ok San, I'm in. Who's inside?"

"Obsually, there's mbak ika and Mas Haikal."

"OK deh. There you go."

Fian walked towards the office room from the store. He was used to going in and out freely. Fian already knew some of the employees who worked at the store. The owner of the store, Mr. Adam, believes strongly in Fian.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Uh Fian came in here. I was asked yesterday by you." Haikal who was busy typing reports stopped his work and welcomed Fian's arrival. " Please sit down . The boss is coming soon. It might be jammed."

"Yes mas. Just continue with Haikal's work. Let me wait there."

"Yes Fian. Sorry I can't accompany you. Understand the end of the year. Work is a lot."

"Yes mas. Please."

Fian sat in the chair reserved for the guests. He sat down while looking at the room that looked quiet. There are usually only five people in this room. The owner is Mr. Adam. This is a special room for confidants, Mr. Adam. Other employees are provided with their own room.

"This is Mas Fian drinking it."

Fian was surprised that suddenly Santi had come with a bottle of mineral drink. He was focusing on looking at a room that looked different.

"Thank you San."

"Cie.. cie. the gercep."

"Ohukk.."

Haikal and Ika tease Santi. They both know that Santi likes Fian. And Santi would definitely catch Fian's attention if Fian paid a visit to the store.

"What the hell are you guys. Kan Mas Fian guests. Guests must be in the jamu. Don't overdo it." Santi looks relaxed. Because what he did was still within the limits of reasonableness.

"Diminum mas Fian. In a moment you come earlier I have already told the father that Mas Fian has come." He said again, looking at Fian.

Fian just nodded. He looks unaffected by Ika's jokes and Haikal Fian is used to it. Surely every come is always treated in such a way by Santi.

Santi is Adam's nephew. His age was like that of Fian, twenty years. Santi is the son of Adam's brother. He came to Jakarta at the invitation of Adam . Because according to Adam Santi can work in his shop and can while continuing his education.

Santi sat at his desk. He just checked the inventory of goods sold in the store. He is very thorough and quick to learn. Adam believed in Santi. Not because Santi is a brother but because of Santi's ability no doubt.

"I'm working with Mas Fian. Another minute, the boss is coming."

Santi is getting serious. He must be professional. It's time for work. Can't mess around.

"Assalamu'alaikum."

Door opens. Adam entered the room. Even though he is old, he still looks handsome.

"Wa'alaikumsalam. Good morning sir."

"Good morning too. Uh Fian's here. Let's go to my room."

Fian nodded. He followed in the footsteps of Adam who walked into his private room.

"Please sit down Fian. Has a drink been provided."

"Thank you, sir. As usual Santi has served me."

"Goodoo. We sit on the couch. Be more comfortable talking."

"Good Sir.. Let's." Let's."

Fian sat down in front of Adam. Fian glanced at Adam's face. Suddenly he remembered someone. Adam's face was similar to someone's. Or the face of someone like Adam. But who is yes. Fian was still trying to remember. He tapped his finger at the table.

"What's up Fian. Is there a problem.?"

"Eh .. sorry Sir.. No. gabe..No."

"Why dream."

"No sir, sorry again."

Adam smiled. Adam remembered someone. Fian's habits are exactly the same as his best friend's. I don't know where his best friend is. Adam took a deep breath.

"It's okay Fian. Where's the report this month."

"Oh yeah.. This sir."

Fian opened his bag and handed Adam a map.

"This is what I checked first. Just a minute."

Adam opened the map. And check the contents. He skimmed through the report Fian had written. Very neat.

"This I've saved in a flash."

Fian handed the Flashdisk he held to Adam. Adam cradled the flash for a moment. Then save.

"Fians. I'll check it later. Thank you for helping me."

"Sama-sama sir. I'm so honored and grateful to be trusted to help you."

"Fian wait a minute.There's something I want to ask."

"Yes sir. Please."

Adam thought for a moment. He took a deep breath. There's a little tightness in the chest. He remembered his three best friends who had just disappeared. Adam shook his head.

"Sorry Fian. Just later. You can go home."

Fian was confused. What's with his Boss it .But Fian did not want to ask. Fian did not want to offend Adam.

"alright. Then I beg for permission to resign first."

"Yes Fian. Your salary this month I'll transfer soon."

"Thank you sir. Excuse me. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa"alaikumsalam's chat. Careful, Son Fian."

"Thank you sir."

Fian left Adam's room. He has to get to campus. The class will begin soon. He doesn't want to be late. There's still thirty minutes. The distance between the campus and the store is not too far away.

After Fian died, Adam was still pensive. He remembered his best friend who had a habit like Fian. He still remembers well everything that happened twenty years ago. He still remembered the most bitter memories of his life.

"Where are you guys. I miss you guys. I miss all the struggles we have had together. When can we meet again."

Adam squeezed his temple which suddenly felt pain. The shadow of the incident twenty years ago flashed in his memory. There is sadness just like that. The sadness and sense of loss that he had long kept tight, appeared again. Adam rubbed his face violently. She's sugar her partially bleached hair.

Adam got up from his seat and headed for the door. He's bending his head.

"Santi.. Please make me some hot tea and bring it to my room now."

"Good sir."

"Oh yeah.. Then put it on the table. "

"Good sir."

Adam went back into his room. He's back pensive. There is a burden that he is bearing. There was a bit of fret that bothered his mind. There was a sigh that suddenly disturbed his heart.

What made Adam feel that way. What exactly happened.
