The Undying Past
PART 21 ~ CAN'T BE HIM, RIGHT ?!
Emir's grandfather is now on the highway to his friend's house by being driven by his confidants. Along the way the middle-aged man smiled widely, He will give a surprise to the friend.
"Father looks so happy today," Jonathan glanced at his master at a glance through the inclined mirror and hurriedly refocused on the highway.
"Either Jon, this time I feel very happy to visit my best friend." The Emir's grandfather himself was confused by his feelings. Maybe because they haven't seen each other in a long time.
No more talking between the two. Jonathan focused on the highway through which he passed while the Emir's grandfather was impatient to see his friend soon. Until finally they arrived at a house with a large enough yard. Grandfather Emir immediately opened the window of the car to be seen by the security on duty.
"Doozo, o-hairi kudasai, (please enter)" Security was allowed to enter by bending his body. The man had known Emir's grandfather because he often visited the house of the friend.
"Arigatou goizamasu, (thank you)" Grandfather Emir replied with a smile. Jonathan stepped on the gas again to arrive at the door of the main house. The distance between the gate and the main door is quite far because the yard of the house is quite wide.
As Emir's grandfather stood down from the car, a man of his age came out to greet him. The middle-aged man was surprised not to think that the Emir's grandfather had visited. He only 8hats from the CCTV screen a luxury car entered the gate of his house.
"You surprised me old man," The host warmly hugged the Emir's grandfather.
"How are you, buddy ? You find it healthy and happy," Grandpa Emir returned the warm embrace of his best friend.
"Of course I was very happy, my son and my daughter settled back in Japan after a long time in Indonesia," Akihiro's smile never separated from her lips that had begun to wrinkle.
"Oh yeah ? I'm curious about your adopted son." The Emir's grandfather smiled but his face looked serious.
The two sat in the living room and told a story. Soon the hostess came out and joined the two handsome men in her youth.
"How are you, brother ? When did it come ?" The hostess greets her husband's best friend.
"Thank God, I deliberately came without any news. I miss you guys, oh yeah where's your daughter ?" The Emir's grandfather misses the little girl who used to be so spoiled for him.
"So he said he wanted to pick up his father so that his brother would stay at home,"
The Emir's grandfather just nodded his head at the explanation of his best friend's wife. He then resumed talking with Akihiro while Erin went to the kitchen to guide the maids in charge to cook the favorite menu of her guests.
"Opaaaaaa, "The typical cry of a child stopped the conversation of the two middle-aged men. Followed by a beautiful girl blend of Japan and Indonesia. The little girl looked at Akihiro and Emir's grandfather and sat on Akihiro's lap.
The Emir's grandfather looked closely at the face of the little girl before him. Highlights sharp eyes and the little girl's pointed nose remind her of little Najib.
"There's no way she is, right ?!" The Emir's grandfather involuntarily muttered loudly making Akihiro give a sharp snort.
"Is this child's mother your adopted son ?!" Grandpa Emir doesn't mind his best friend's questions. He had to make sure before he told me.
"of course. You heard that Celya called me opa, my only biological child and unmarried," Akihiro was a little upset that Emir's grandfather did not answer her question and instead asked back
"I have to meet him," Grandfather Emir is not yet one hundred percent sure if he has not seen the mother of the little girl.
"Calm down, soon brother will be here. She couldn't part with her daughter for even an hour, "Keiko chuckled at the thought of Aleya catching up with her.
"Now tell me about what you said. Don't make me any more curious, Emir."
"Son Keiko, take your bangs to the room, it's not good to hear it," Grandpa Emir said softly and his gaze expectantly made Keiko forced to get rid of the two men. Even though he was curious about the story of his father's friend.
After Keiko and Celya disappeared, Emir's grandfather started the story he heard from his grandson. Akihiro could only be speechless hearing and digesting every word spoken by her best friend. He did not want to believe it but his best friend told him with a convincing face.
I want Akihiro to reject Emir's grandfather's story but he also knows his best friend who will never make up the story. There is no good thing that his best friend lied about the existence of Celya in this world.
"Your grandchildren should take responsibility, if your story is true. Akihiro finally made a sound after a moment of silence.
"Of course my grandchildren want to take responsibility but they suddenly disappear.Wait for your granddaughter to come and we'll hear the truth." The Emir's grandfather was a little annoyed at the doubt at the end of Akihiro's sentence.
The two fell back into silence in each other's minds. Akihiro's thoughts go back to the events seven years ago where he and his wife found a college student in trouble with a big belly.
"Don't think like macxm, my granddaughter isn't that bad," Grandpa Emir didn't want his best friend to accuse his granddaughter of being immoral to a girl. The Emir's grandfather trusted his granddaughter whom he had educated well since Nqjib was a child.
Akihiro did not chim in on his best friend's words. He could not wait for Aleya's arrival so that her curiosity would disappear. Until the sound of the car engine stopped in front of the main door and the car door opened and closed again.
