This afternoon was scorching, Erlangga felt the excitement of being in his room. He walked over to the wall to get out of the small room. A room that only contains one bed with a drawer cabinet in it.
Indeed, during Erlangga's stay at Rafika's house, she occupied the girl's room. While his clothes wear the clothes of his late father Rafika. Only in the clothes that Rafika's mother bought for the young man.
"Asep, where are you going?" asked Sofie who just came from the kitchen.
"You're ahead, Mom. It was very hot today" Erlangga replied.
"You just sit down first. Later I make syrup," said Sofie while helping Erlangga sit on the chair.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Either. Asep should not be confused with Mom. Since you've been here, I feel like I've had two kids again. Fika used to have a sister, but she died when she was six years old, because she was washed away in the river when this village was hit by a big flood."
"It's like me, huh, Mom?"
"Maybe similar but your child is not as lucky as you. Yes, I went to the shop first." Sofie went straight to her stall in front of her house.
He was always sad whenever he remembered his first child. She, who was pregnant with Rafika, did not realize that her son was sneaking out of the house out of curiosity to hear the rumbling sound of water in the river. However, ill-fated for the little boy, he slipped and fell into the river when he saw the flood on the bridge.
The citizens who saw the incident could only scream but no one dared to help him. They just ran to the dam to find the body of the boy. However, when found, her brother Rafika is in a state of lifeless.
Sofie returns to her house with a glass of syrup in her hand. Along with two shiny black luxury cars stopped by the roadside. Sofie's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she saw four men in expensive suits and one beautiful woman get off the luxury car.
"Come, the rich man is back" Sofie said in a trembling voice.
"Mother, don't be afraid! I will face them" said Erlangga.
"Assalamu'alaikum" said the young man Sofie knew named Calvin.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Sofie and Erlangga in unison.
"Can we come in?" ask Calvin.
"Please, Master!"
Again and again, none of them would want to sit in a chair. They choose to stand. Calvin and a Bramantyo family lawyer are eager to sit down. However, they feel reluctant if Mr. Ageng chooses to stand up. Moreover, Madam Merlina, stepmother Erlangga and Leonardo, her half-sister Erlangga also just stood up while looking at the state of Sofie's house.
"Elang, Grandpa has brought a lawyer who will prove that you are Grandpa's grandson. In addition, Grandpa has brought your important papers. If your ID and SIM and ATM card are not found. It may be lost in the river, or hidden by the girl" Mr. Ageng said, glancing at Sofie.
"Sorry, Sir. When Fika found Asep, she did not find her identity, so she was brought here, "Safie said.
"Mother please look at my diploma and liken the photo to my face" Erlangga said
"I'm sorry, ma'am can I explain a little! The man I used to call Asep was my best friend. We both studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and majored in Mechanical Engineering. He's the best graduate of our class." Calvin sighed for a moment before continuing his words.
"At the time of the incident he was drifting in the river, in fact we had just won an industrial land auction. If you still don't believe me, please check out this album. I deliberately brought him to further corroborate the evidence that Asep was actually Erlangga Bramantyo, the new CEO of Elang Group company." Calvin glanced at Merlina who looked uncomfortable there.
Sofie, who received Calvin's album, opened it page by page. There are photos of Erlangga and Calvin of them wearing red and white uniforms to yoga clothes during college graduation. Calvin deliberately kept all his memories with Erlangga in one album.
"A-Asep, you're right this Lord's grandson. I've seen it" said Sofie nervously.
"Well, I believe in what you say that I am Erlangga. But sorry, I can't come now." Again Erlangga refused to participate with his family.
"Elang, what other reason will you wear? I'm looking for your whereabouts day and night. But when you meet, you refuse to come. Don't tell me you want to stay here forever. Listen Eagle, your place is not here. You don't deserve to be here. The company and all employees need you. Do you want those thousands of employees to be unemployed because the company is managed by the wrong people?" sentak Tuan Ageng's.
He felt very upset with Erlangga who did not want to go back to him. Not without reason he insisted on bringing Erlangga home immediately. In addition to worrying about seeing the state of his granddaughter who is sad according to him. He also thought of the company he had difficulty building until it was as big as it is now.
On the other hand, Merlina kept asking him for the CEO position to be given to her son Leonardo. While he knew, his second grandson could not be given a big trust, given his habit of changing girlfriends and wasting money.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa! I'll go with Grandpa after saying goodbye to Fika and Kiran. Those who found me in the river. I also asked, Grandpa gave them a scholarship to continue their studies. I would definitely go with Grandpa if it was true that Grandpa was the family I had. I just ask Grandpa to fulfill my wish before I leave here" Erlangga said softly.
He could feel the desperate tone of the Master's voice. Hence Erlangga softened her voice and directly called Grandpa to Lord Ageng. He felt unbearable to Taun who thought he was arrogant
"Good! Whatever you ask, I'll give you." Mr. Ageng instantly agreed to his granddaughter's wishes.
"Sorry, Asep. I interrupted, I sincerely take care of you here. No need to give ...."
"Sorry, Mom. I ask you to agree with Erlangga's wishes. Don't make it difficult for us to bring Erlangga home!" cut off Calvin who was standing near Sofie.
"Yes, Mom. You better follow. Can I talk to Grandpa and Calvin first?" pinta Erlangga's.
"Oh, yes please! Then I'll go to the stall first!" pamit Sofie's.
Sofie and the other three people chose to leave the house. They deliberately gave space to Erlangga and his Grandfather. However, when Sofie is going to her stall, Merlina suddenly pulls Sofie's hand.
"Listen, Mom! After Erlangga came home, do not let Mother and the girl he mentioned to meet Erlangga. He's not cut out for you guys. Especially if you have a relationship with one of the girls. Let's just say the money my in-laws will give me is compensation because my daughter's mother helped my son."
