THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Wijaya Family

Just as Via and Dini finished praying, one of the ART approached. He told Mr. Adi's message.

"Non Dini and Non Via, Mr. Adi is already waiting in the dining room."

"Yes, Bi. We're going there now. Thanks, yes," said Dini.

Dini pulls Via's hand towards the dining room. Because Dini has often been to the house, he knows the location of the room.

In the dining room, Mr. Adi was already there. He sat opposite Farhan.

"We're just four, Cake?" ask Via.

"Yes. Papah mamah Dini has not arrived. So, let's start eating," Adi replied casually.

She brought rice to her husband and grandfather. After that, he picked it up for her and Dini.

"Sister, let me take it myself! Older Sister serves my younger self" protested Dini.

Via just smiled. He handed a plate containing rice to Dini.

"Let's eat, don't argue!" said Mr. Adi.

They also eat quietly. No one makes a sound when eating. The earliest completed.

"Sir, can Via ask?" Via seemed a little doubtful.

Mr. Adi nodded. He took a sip of the water that was available in front of him.

"If there were no us, would Grandpa eat alone in this house?"

"of course. Who else is it?" said Mr. Adi with a big smile.

"It's good to eat alone? Wouldn't it be better to eat together?" ask Via again.

"Are you guys going to stay here with Grandpa?" reply Pak Adi.

"It's not so, Cake. There are lots of ART here, drivers too. How many people are there?"

"What does Kak Via mean, anyway? How to use the sum of all ART?" inner Early.

"There are 8 people working in this house. Why?" Mr. Adi did not understand the direction of Via's conversation.

"Why aren't they here to eat together? Try eating with them. It must be better than being alone" said Via.

"Where is it possible, son? They're helpers, drivers, security guards. Meal time one table with the employer, "kilah Pak Adi.

"They are equal to us because they are God's creatures. The difference before God is the degree of faith. There is no harm in eating with them. Via and Mas Farhan are too, Cake."

Farhan gave a smile at his wife's words. He just found out the other side of a Via.

"I'm proud of you, love. It turns out that you are not a quiet person, who does not dare to straighten out a crooked thing. I love it more and more" Farhan said in his heart.

Mr. Adi and Dini flinched. They didn't expect Via to say such a thing.

"Is my mindset of distinguishing employers and maids a mistake? I think what my grandson said was right too. Employers and helpers are both human. If I eat with them, there will even be friends. Maybe it can be tried," thought Mr. Adi.

"Via misspoke, huh? Forgive Via, Kek," said Via lirih while looking down.

"No. Grandpa is contemplating your words. Maybe dinner could try eating with them. O yes, Din, what time did you land?"

Dini still thought about Via's speech. He did not hear his grandfather's question.

"Here, are you daydreaming?" reprimand Pak Adi.

"Eh, yes. How, Cake?" Dini jerked from her daydream.

"What time is your parents' landing schedule? You want to pick up enough drivers?" Adi repeated his question.

"Hour 3pm, Cake. Dini want to pick up, yes," said Dini.

"Just you, yeah. Grandpa's at home with Via and Farhan."

Dini nodded in agreement.

Sorenya, children, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren Pak Adi had gathered. Adi sir looks happy.

"Via and Farhan meet Ardi for the first time. You can later chat the four of you in the back garden," added Mr. Candra.

"But, you guys listen to what Grandpa will say first," continued Mr. Adi.

The room became quiet. None of them spoke. All the waiting that will be delivered by Mr. Adi like patih waiting for the king's order.

"You need to know, Via. The Wijaya family is big. For the most part, they are entrepreneurs. We're still in touch, helping each other."

Pak Adi paused for a moment to take a deep breath. There seemed to be a burden in his mind.

"Actually, if your late father continued to use the name Wijaya, Grandfather believes there are descendants of Wijaya who help when the company is troubled."

"Alright, Cake. Do not bring up what has passed" said Via softly.

"Yes, Son. Grandpa continue. Grandpa's company is pretty big. Farhan who's been into the business world probably knows."

Farhan smiled and nodded.

"Because Grandpa had two children, Grandpa's company was passed down to Beni and Candra. Since Beni is gone, you, Via, are his successor."

"Grandfather, sorry Via interrupted. Grandpa is not dead, he is healthy. Why talk about inheritance? After all, Via had already bothered to take care of Wijaya Kusuma.

Mr. Candra looked at his nephew. A faint smile adorned his lips.

"The half of Grandpa's company has already been handed over to Candra to manage. Later on, you will get the one Grandfather is managing at the moment. You gotit?"

Mr. Adi looked at everyone who was there. Everybody nodded.

"good. Grandpa doesn't want you guys fighting over Grandpa's treasure. O yes, Via, Farhan. Right now your sister, Azka, isn't just in college. He was also given the task of managing the plantation," continued Pak Adi.

"Plantation? Who's the plantation?" ask Farhan

"Yes. That's mine. Candra's keeping an eye on me, okay."

"Relax, your sister's pretty good at her performance. As per his field, right, he manages a business related to agriculture?" Mr. Candra added.

"Thank you for Grandpa and Om's support to my sister. Om Candra just give us a ride where we have been very grateful," said Farhan.

"You don't think so! We are family" Adi said. "O yeah, don't forget tomorrow we're going to Alza's company's birthday."

"When did he marry? Ah, her brother hasn't, has he?" Ardi interrupted.

He looked at his brother. He poked his lips.

"Related in America to the point of not knowing the latest developments. Alza is married. His wife's name is Tiara. She's a country girl. Beautiful and innocent. Actually the guy's cool. Only, like his low educational background makes him inferior. Uh, why is Brother asking Kak Alza to marry or not? Have you got married?" ledek Dini after giving an explanation.

"Ish, you just want to know" said Ardi.

People laughed at Ardi's reaction. His face was red with embarrassment.

"If you want to get married, that's okay. Now the impromptu marriage is no complicated. We can use the services of WO," his mother chimed in.

"Ah, mama's right. The daughter of Mr. Mayoko Mahendra, a friend of Papah, will work in a company that takes care of wedding organizers. Her name is Keyra Angelista Mahendra. The child is beautiful, friendly too" said Mr. Candra.

"Tuh, Brother. Mom and Dad gave me the green light. Gasp! Uh, bride-to-be what's up yet?" ledek Early again.

Everyone laughed at the last sentence. The atmosphere is really familiar.
