THE SUCCESSOR.
PERSUADE

Still in the prayer room.

Diana took out a paper from her pocket and gave it to Bayu.

" This is dear..The test results are.." said Diana.

Bayu accepted and opened the paper and read in his heart.

It was a letterhead from a private hospital.

After reading the letter, Bayu picked up the hape and stood up and walked to call Malik.

" Where are you going, baby?" said Diana.

Bayu stopped walking and looked at Diana.

" Want to call yank." said Bayu then walked again.

Tuout....Tuout....Tuuut....Tuuutts...

Tuuut....

" Halllo.ni ciapa." Bella's voice Malik's son.

" This is Bayu...Is Bella's dad around? Om wants to talk." said Bayu.

" Op om bental...."

" Dad...."

" There's a phone call from Bayu." Bella's voice.

" Yes hello...Piye kabare Bay "the voice of Malik.

" Thank God...The sampeyan pripun kang?" say Bayu.

" Thank God...Ono opo Bay?" malik's Voice.

" Kok sampeyan weruh yen I ape jaluk tulung.." said Bayu.

" Yes you know...Malik it...Astrologer.." Malik's voice.

" o ...Yo..."

Grandpa Zhang appeared from behind Bayu. Bayu thought it was the Princess. So he didn't look back.

" I'm looking for a gawekno passport...I am arep nang cino kang." said Bayu.

" Nang Cino? Ape nang cino Bay?" malik's Voice.

" Don't go.." said Zhang's grandfather.

Bayu flipped his body backwards.

" Diaaampuu..Kirain Putri.." said Bayu inwardly looking at grandfather Zhang.

" I'll call broo again." said Bayu then turn off the call.

" Mbah's....If Bayu doesn't get there... Later Job will be crushed mbahh.." said Bayu.

" That's the risk... Don't go there." said Zhang's grandfather.

" Mbah's... "

" If we don't go there, they'll come looking for us." Bayu said.

" You guys stay safe. Just don't like to wander outside this housing." said Zhang's grandfather.

Bayu left Grandpa Zhang with a lot of anger inside him.

Want to feel scolded or scolded his great-grandfather. But Bayu did not want to do it, not afraid of the quality and also he was fasting.

" Wait Bayu.."

Bayu stopped his steps.

" Did she give me any important information?" said grandfather Zhang.

" Yes, Bayu has..But..."

"Sorry mom..."

" If Bayu is not allowed to go there.."

" Bayu will not tell anyone...And if Sulis and Job why - why..."

" The first person Bayu salahin was Mbah....For forbidding Bayu to go after him to save Sulis and Job who was my son...My flesh blood." said Bayu then walked again to his room.

After arriving at the room. Bayu was lying in bed thinking of how to go to China without his family's knowledge. Until Bayu sleeps.

1 Hour before magrib time.

Bayu is awakened by the Princess.

" Mas.." said the Princess while wiggling Bayu's arm.

Bayu opened his eyes, he saw his beloved wife.

" Deck...If only I had gone to save Sulis..."

" And mas died...Is she looking for my replacement?" say Bayu.

" no... And please don't leave us here alone without you..."

" We want to raise our children together." said the Princess.

Bayu woke up and touched the shoulder of the Princess sitting nearby.

" I'd love to be by your side..."

" but...."

" If you don't save Sulis immediately..."

" So sooner or later they'll find out where we are..."

" They'll ask any of his friends or family..."

" Mainly kang Ahmad dek..."

" Kang Ahmad may tell anyone about Sulis' girlfriend or ex and other families..."

" Secret Family could be dangerous..."

" For he also has eyes like gold.."

Bayu believed that Sulis would not tell the enemy about himself, for when Job was born. Sulis didn't tell his family that, not even himself.

The princess seemed to be silent thinking of Bayu's words.

Bayu saw his watch

" More prayers...Adek has prayed." said Bayu.

" It's been mas...Sorry I didn't wake up to the Ashar prayer...There was no sahur." said the princess.

" Yes takpapa dek.." said Bayu.

Get out of bed to the bathroom. He felt his stomach rumbling to want to eat and drink immediately. As strong as energy Bayu resist hunger and thirst. He did not want to fast because he did not eat sahur alone.

Finish Bayu prayers Ashar. Bayu wants to see his mother.

" Deck...You're home, right?" said Bayu saw the Princess folding clothes.

" It's been mas...I'm cooking in the kitchen." said the princess.

" okay...Go down first." said Bayu.

Bayu exits the room to the kitchen. As he walked into the kitchen. Bimo approaching Bayu.

" Bay.." said Bimo.

"Opo Bim.." said Bimo.

" I want to say something." said Bimo.

" Yo ndang said.." said Bayu.

" Yok is killing me." said Bimo.

Bayu delays to see his mother. Then follow Bimo.

Apparently, Bimo took Bayu to his room. Then Bimo closed the door.

" What do you want to say to Bim?" say Bayu.

" Nganu Bay..."

" Last night Clara called... He wants me to go to his house.."

" I want to go there." said Bimo.

" He uh...Keep going.." said Bayu.

" Nah...Up at the fence, your bodyguards are holding me. He said don't wander...In the house." said Bimo.

" Yes...You can't wander.." said Bayu.

" Why can't Bay...It didn't matter before that I went out to see Clara." said Bimo.

" Tell me no yes." said Bayu in his heart.

" Take you Bim...I just can't wander. " said Bayu.

" Why didn't Bay come home last night?" bimo.

" I have very important business Bimo." said Bayu.

Docs....Docs....Doc..(door sound).

" Bim....Ojo turu..10 minutes more magrib loh.." Lukman's voice.

" I don't mess with Man." said Bimo rather loudly.

" Y wes...I don't think you're getting lost." Lukman's voice.

" Now Clara's parents are eager to see me...Piye Bay?" bimo.

" Helmmmm..."

" How about yes..."

" I can't think of Bim... Wetengku luwe....Engko...Yen wes bar buko yoo." said Bayu.

" Yo wes." said Bimo.

They then left the room.

" If you meet...There are 2 versions of Neh Bim.."

" First...."

" Clara's parents will ask you about your seeds and weights about your work..."

" Keep your house..."

" Your parents..."

" The second one...."

" Clara's parents don't like you and she'll tell Clara to stay away from you.."

" The first one I can still help.."

" The second one can't.."

" If Clara's parents are stubborn." said Bayu.

" The first one was how did Bay go?" bimo.

" Eat...."

"Wetengku luwee." said Bayu.

They reached the dining table and sat in their chairs.

Shortly thereafter, Magrib's time had come in.

Bayu leads the do'a to break their fast, and they eat and drink together.

" Thank God..."

10 Minutes later.

Bayu and the others rushed to pray Magrib. They only eat wet cakes. After the Magrib prayer, they ate rice.

Skips.

After the prayer of Tarawih.

Bayu went to see his mother.

Bayu was in his mother's room.

" Mom..."

" If Ahmad or Sulis open his voice memgenai anyone's family, friends - friends.."

" And Ahmad was asked who his ex-girlfriend was..."

" Automatically Bayu and Sandi's family will be their target ma'am.."

It looks like Mum Hana thought Bayu's words just now.

" So sooner or later..."

" Our family is also their target..."

" Because..Sulis previously lived with us ma'am." said Bayu.

" Later mom will say the same grandfather, dear." said Ms. Hana.

" If you can now, ma'am..."

" Bayu is afraid that Job will be killed by them if we are late to save him." said Bayu.

" all right...I'm going to see Grandpa now." said Ms. Hana.

They then walked out of the room, then exited the house towards Zhang Yong Han's residence.

***

Zhang's grandfather's house.

Bayu and Ms. Hana arrive at Zhang's grandfather's house in a car. They got out of the car and walked over to Grandpa Zhang's house.

" Ashalam mu'alaikum... Mbah.." said Bayu standing at the door.

Kakashi appears from the inside.

" Bayu chan's...Hana...Let's go in.." said Kakashi in Indonesian.

Bayu shakes hands to Kakashi, doesn't forget to kiss hands.

" Where is my grandfather?" said Ms. Hana.

" I'm eating..."

They then sat in the guest chair. Kakashi speaks Japanese.

" Morrow...Uncle's family will be here." said Kakashi.

"# Are you two dad?" say Bayu.

" no...They are crowded." said Kakashi.

" Wired...."

" It may be too late for me to go there." Bayu said in his heart.

Shortly after, Zhang's grandfather appeared.

Bayu and bu Hana shake hands and don't forget to kiss hands.

" What are you guys doing here?".

" Is this about Sulis?" said grandfather Zhang.

" Yes cake.." said Hana's mom.

" Come with grandfather." said Zhang's grandfather.He did not want his words known by Kakashi.

They were in a closed room.

" According to Bayu..."

" If Sulis and Ahmad open their voices to any of their friends and family.."

" Our families can also be threatened." said Ms. Hana.

" They will arrest me and also hunt down Sandi Mbah's family." Bayu said.

" Let them hunt down the Teak family, the important thing is that our family is safe" Zhang's grandfather said.

" Bayu does not want them to target the family of Jati Mbah." said Bayu.

" They have hurt your mother and sent you Bayu..."

" Why do you still care about them.."

" while...They just don't care about you..."

" They didn't come to apologize to you." said Zhang's grandfather.

" Yes seh...They didn't come to see me.."

" Just Sandi and Sandi's father came to see me." Bayu said in his heart.

" Mr...."

" So sooner or later..."

" They're gonna be looking for us..."

" Sulis once lived with Bayu.." said Bayu.

" As long as we have a bodyguard..Then we're safe from them.."

" And remember...Don't wander if it's not important..."

" Grandfather will provide a home for your friends to live outside our housing, if they object to our rule "

"But..."

" If they're why - why..."

" It's not grandpa's business anymore..."

" Don't try to save them if they're arrested" Zhang's grandfather said.

" Asem...Hard also the rules of this family." Bayu said in his heart.

Eventually, Bayu and his mother returned home empty-handed, unable to persuade Zhang's grandfather.

" It's better to live in the village ya ma'am..."

" Free...Wherever no one forbids." said Bayu when in the car.

" Yes, baby..."

" I want to go back home..."

" In jogja." said Ms. Hana.

" Come on, ma'am...We go to Jogja." said Bayu.

" Later I will think dear." said Ms. Hana.

They arrived home.

Bayu met his friends who were on the balcony on the 2nd floor. Before that, Wood picked up the tea box and choki - the choki in the kitchen.

Bayu arrived at the balcony of the 2nd floor, then saw Nuan Wei and Melisa.

" Tumben.." said Bayu and sat between Nuan Wei and Lukman.

" Bete' sis.." said Nuan Wei.

" Bete' why?" said Bayu while looking at Nuan Wei.

" Can't go anywhere else" said Nuan Wei.

" Yes patient.." said Bayu.

" When did you...?"

" My friends make sure I get together..."

" But I can't come.."

" And I heard..."

" If hemmpph...Hemmpph.." said Nuan Wei could not continue his speech because it was fixed by Bayu.

Bayu shook his head as he smothered Nuan Wei's mouth.

" Well..."

Bayu released his provisions.

" We know about Job from Zahra." said Lukman.

" Zahra?" say Bayu.

" Zahra's son Haji Yu sir.."

" We called Annisa yesterday..But not in the lift.."

" I did call Zahra.. He said Job's eyes were the same." said Daniel.

" He looks like Bayu's sister." said Melisa.

" Eh....!!!!??? Bayu surprised.

" Sorry Bay...We're talking again..."

" It's a egret (Lukman points to Melisa) sniffing our conversation." Lukman said.

Bayu looked towards Melisa.

Melisa smiled as she raised her right hand and formed her finger the letter V.

" Is this the cause of our problems in being banned out?" nuan Wei.

Bayu took a deep breath - deep and then exhaled it.

" Yes..."

" I'm sorry." said Bayu.

" I've been filing from the beginning with Yu...Job left your son when I saw his face like yours.."

" Mergo Kowe says it with Sulis.."

" Tak sawang Ahmad, is very similar.. "

" But take a closer look at how much you look like." said Bimo.

" If only Sulis had told me about Job.."

" I'll take care of him...And give it to him." said Bayu.

" It's Bayu's destiny." said Paijo.

" I told Mbah Zhang...Want to go to China to save Job and Sulis.." said Bayu.

" Amad is not Bay?" bimo.

" Yes...He too.."

" But why is she the head of the household short-minded.. Just say their words.."

" Why don't you ask her sister who goes to medical school..."

" What kind of husband is that." said Bayu who was annoyed at Ahmad's decision.

" Maybe they're panicking Bayu...And also they force quickly - quickly force to be immediately brought to China." said Daniel.

" Yes also seh.." said Bayu.

" The one called panic...Definitely can not think long Bay.." said Paijo.
