"May I take Kirana to meet my grandparents?"
The request that Aslan had just made managed to grab the attention of the three people in front of him at this moment, Kirana who was hugging fully with Vania suddenly turned her head quickly towards him as well as Shaka who immediately raised a full gaze of inquiry towards Aslan made the man display a face of confusion.
"Is there something wrong with my words?" asked Aslan with one eyebrow raised, then he straightened his back which was originally attached to the back of the chair to see the faces that were originally relaxed now stiffened again by throwing a glance at each other.
"There's nothing wrong actually, but do you think this isn't too soon Mr Aslan?" shaka shouted after the silence struck long enough.
Aslan shrugged with his relaxed face. "Nothing is too fast in my opinion, Shaka sir, especially even though from the previous story my grandfather was indeed the mastermind behind our separation but I believe he still holds affection for his grandchildren, moreover my grandmother she is innocent in this situation, she just obeyed what my grandfather said."
Vania kept it short, as if she could already guess what Aslan was thinking right now. And Vania completely disagreed with Aslan's request given how dangerous Mr. Pangestu and his minions were.
Recollected by Vania, his conversation with Parwita's grandmother who said that Aslan Although always look sad is also fierce but actually he is the type of person who is easily influenced and sometimes careless in making decisions, but in fact he is the type of person who is easily influenced and sometimes careless in making decisions, parwita's grandmother said all of Aslan's traits were inherited directly from her mother.
"That's not what I mean Mr. Aslan, it's an important reason but it would be nice to wait for a good time first. Especially now that I know Mr. Pangestu mavendra is in a strange problem, as the president director of the Mavendra group, which is one of its branches still working with my company, I know very well the internal problems that are happening at this time and you must be confused as well to find a solution nya right? so I think your proposal to introduce Kirana as Chiara mavendra in a situation like this is quite risky Mr. Aslan."
Aslan the mangosteen heard the reason that Shaka, who thought it was true again, could not risk Kirana's safety because of this, he could not risk, initially because so happy that he felt because he met his sister again made him take a very quick decision before being thought about again carefully. Aslan nodded in agreement with what his sister-in-law said. "So how good do you think it is?"
"It looks like we have to wait until the situation that happens to your current company can be controlled at least let everything calm down first. Most importantly now you won't be separated again with your sister right, nor will I ban you if you want to meet Kirana, just remember the time!" after saying the last words Shaka deliberately squealed fierce eyes as if not messing with his warning it suddenly made Aslan laugh out loud.
"Jeez, take it easy, my sister-in-law, I won't bother you two" Aslan chuckled in amusement, and then her gaze coolened again as she pointed at Kirana, her big hand rubbed Kirana's face with affection.
"Although I hate you so much if you remember what you did to my sister, but Shaka I entrust her security and happiness to you," aslan said that he showed to Shaka by casting a serious look at the man.
"You take it easy, I admit I'm a jerk, but for Kirana's happiness, it's number one for me" Shaka said with optimism, as if trying to gain the trust of her sister-in-law.
"I don't just want to hear words but actions" Aslan said, suddenly the situation became more tense for the two.
Shaka's face turned resolute, trying to catch Aslan's expression and he realized that this was no ordinary talk.
"certain. I'm not just going to say it out of my mouth, you can find and beat me up if I hurt Kirana."
"All right." Aslan nodded. "I hold your word."
Kirana and Vania throw one another a glance, as if they were watching two boxers who were ready to fight in the ring make both goosebumps to see how terrible the two North and South poles are fighting each other at this time.
"Oh come on, why do you guys look so serious, let's enjoy the dish," concluded Kirana tried to melt the already clumsy atmosphere and then after the situation began to be conducive both Aslan and Shaka had begun to interact as usual and they ate food while joking.
...----------oo-------...
At Rajendra's mansion, after a meeting and a flashback of Kirana's life and the revelation of Kirana's true identity, the, now it is the turn of the house who knows all these facts when Kirana speaks directly to her mother-in-law and grandmother who still uses a wheelchair to support her life.
Renata is astonished to hear every word from Kirana and Shaka's mouth that helps the wife to explain the situation to them.
"Mavendra groups? god, isn't that the biggest real estate company in the country? even Shaka's father used to have a long dispute with his owner, the priest. Their company had been an enemy for decades maybe even to this day" Renata said with a burning spirit telling how he had felt the tension between the Rajendra company and the mavendra group.
"Yes, but now it's no longer Bun, now the pastor no longer meddles in the internal affairs of the mavendra group all taken over by his grandson, Mr. Aslan. The two companies have now made peace and instead, Aslan and I have several cooperation contracts in the future" Shaka explained.
Renata nods his head, he is not too familiar with the business affairs but shakes if there is no more cold war between the two big companies now.
"Kirana, the mother even just found out if the Mavendra family has another grandchild who has been missing her existence and did not think the lost grandchild was here, it was you." Renata shook her head slowly while clucking quietly still unexpectedly with all these astonishing facts.
Kirana smiled bitterly. "Don't you, I just still can't believe it until now."
"Then how? did after the DNA test, the priest and his wife also trust you?"
"That's the problem Bun, honestly I'm not ready to meet them both." Kirana let out a long sigh, her mind was already raging, would her grandparents accept her presence or not?
Renata smiled soothingly, he took Kirana's hand and clasped her tightly. "Not to be so thought out. Everything is already the way of God, about how it will be only He who knows. What matters now is that you and your brother will no longer be separated."
Kirana nodded while curling her lips with a smile. But honestly his heart still wasn't calm."
...****************...
In the stuffy and dimly lit room dominated by dark colors with a lot of furniture and antiques that make Aslan feel the painful Dejavu. It was still clear in his brain in this room that he was tormented mentally and mentally, in this place his grandfather dictated it very hard and full of discipline. more precisely it was like a torture for Aslan despite his goal for Aslan to excel in achievement and always be number one. here he studied desperately so fiercely without sleep or should not eat at all before getting the results of the value that the grandfather wanted, considering that just made Aslan's head feel swirling. The memory of his grandfather punishing him by whipping him with a thin piece of wood until it bled if it became a traumatic memory for him.
"Stand with you Aslan," the priestess who looks like a cruel and ruthless emperor in the seat of his current power.
While Aslan himself sat in one of the ordinary chairs more ordinary than the place where Pestu sat that looked so luxurious, making Aslan look like a defendant at the green table.
Aslan also stood up, in fact he was very tired after a day struggling with office affairs but even so paid for by the relief of his heart after gaining the trust of Kirana aka Chiara has now returned as his sister.
Plakk!
Everyone held their breath for a moment as Pangestu so desperately slapped Aslan. His voice was extremely loud as if the priest was exerting all of his strength as he thrust his hand into Aslan's cheek.
Pangestu's eyes stared dumbly, his two eyebrows swooping his wrinkled face looked many times more terrible because of the anger that he had been pendam.
Meanwhile Parwita who was originally standing next to her husband sat down, hurriedly circled the long table that became a distance barrier and immediately approached Aslan who was rubbing her face while grimacing.
Parwita was sobbing that she saw her beloved granddaughter who was now seen withstanding the pain on her cheek when Parwita saw clearly a large blue bruise on Aslan's jaw and cheeks. That must have been very painful.
"Mas, why are you doing this?" Parwita turned to look at her husband who was still unmoved on the spot.
"Ask that to your granddaughter, what has been done to make me unable to resist spending it directly here?!" snapped at Pangestu with great anger.
Then Parwita turned to look at Aslan with tears that had run down the river. "What really happened to Aslan? what made your grandfather so angry?"
Aslan was only silent with a flat face but both of his hands clenched tightly holding in fury. His grandfather must have known first before he told me about his sister who had been found at this time.
"Aslan just wants to bring Chiara back to our family" the man said with great emphasis.
Parwita's face suddenly turned turbid. "What are you talking about? stop talking about your sister she's already Matti Aslan is dead!"
"No grandma." Aslan shook his head violently looking dislike his grandmother saying that. "Chiara's alive and I'll bring her back here!"
"You see that Parwita? look at how this brash grandson of yours is! what did you teach him until he became a dissident like this?!"
Brakk! Pangestu then threw the files on the table, Parwita immediately opened it to find out. While Aslan himself seems stunned on the spot, worried that if there are pictures of Kirana or something and if his grandfather if Kirana is the missing Chiara, Kirana will be in danger.
"What's? so you've been secretly looking for information about Chiara?" Parwita glared dumbfoundedly long after seeing the report on the file.
"Not only that, he even secretly met with Sari. The cunning woman must have brainwashed him," Pangestu concluded fiery.
In Aslan's heart sighed in relief, it turned out that his grandfather had not known about Kirana. And not so far as his minions find out about what he's been doing all this time. That means Kirana's safety is safe.
"No matter what grandfather says, my face now I will no longer be restrained by you! let me do what I should have done a long time ago!" aslan said giving an ultimatum he looked at his grandfather and grandmother who were still in shock only a short while after that he was about to turn around to get out of the room but suddenly his leg movements were locked when he heard the call was satirical from the priest.
"The seedling of the la curr woman is already flowing in her blood!"
Aslan who had reached the door knob suddenly hot heart heard that until he unconsciously squeezed the doorknob very strongly.
"What does grandfather mean?!" Aslan turned around with a face that began to be shrouded in anger.
"Otherwise? I'm just talking about the facts here" Pangestu said.
"Be aware Aslan if it wasn't for our mercy, you would never be here."
"So grandfather never thought of me as your grandson?"
"Ck. ck. You just realized? there was no such relationship between us. You're just lucky to be born as Baskoro's son to my son who's gone because of your mother's greed."
"Stop concerning linking everything with my mother kek, father's death is because of his own karma."
"Karma said? your mother that was the initial cause of the destruction of this family happened, the girl jalllang do not know the self that gave a ruse to my son!"
"Quite a cake stop talking bad about my mom!" yelled Aslan who was already very angry.
"You want to hear more? listen to this your mother is a selfless, poison-carrying woman in this family,"
"And now his son has inherited the filthy laccur blood from him. If it ends up like this I'm so sorry that you grew up, you should have just died with your mom!"
Aslan shook violently to hear the curse that was thrown from his grandfather's mouth. His blood boiled for a moment.
"OK if it's grandpa's, I'll get out of here!" Aslan gave his decision.
"Go if you can? you wouldn't be able to do anything out there without us" said the priest, remaining calm and even smiling as if disparaging. While Parwita was already crying as she stood there wanting to approach the granddaughter, her husband quickly blocked her hand. The priest will not let him get close to Aslan.
"The place where my mother was humiliated, I never set foot again in that place!" Aslan stared intently with anger. Jaw hardens.
"Alright." the pastor replied casually. "Go and don't come back. Whether or not you exist has no effect on your family or company! because you've never been the rightful heir to the mavendra group!"
