TURNS OUT MY DAD WAS A HOTSHOT
Chapter 1 (Revised)
An old man looked so excited as he blew out his birthday candle. Today is Raden Wijaya's birthday.
Although not a noble descendant, Hari is proud to bear the name Raden as a symbol of the greatness of his family.
Amidst his happiness to receive various gifts from his son and daughter-in-law, he was so absorbed when he received a gift from his youngest son-in-law Ali.
"This fire!" Excited Day while receiving a multivitamin gift from Ali.
"That's a good dad's multivitamin for dad's health, so if you take that supplement you don't get sick easily anymore" Ali replied
*Brakk!!
"Baseless son-in-law how could you possibly pray for your father-in-law to be sickly!" exclamation Day then threw multivitamin giving.
"Haish, you son-in-law Kere, everywhere that birthday in-laws give me motorbikes, cars, these even multivitamins are really sad!" sindir Dirga the family's richest son-in-law
"I shouldn't give you my blessing when you whine asking to marry that trash. In addition to your life suffering I also have to bear the shame of having a daughter-in-law who works as a laborer. You'd better get a divorce with Ali, you're beautiful, and very educated anyway I'm sure there's still a lot of men out there who are interested in you" Hari told Regina's daughter
Ali was so fed up when she found out that the in-laws were always provoking his wife to divorce from him. He chose to leave the room instead of hearing their insults.
"Dad why talk like that, after all this is my life so I have the right to manage my own life. Although Mas Ali is indeed a person who cannot make me happy materially at least he still wants to be responsible and still love us" replied Regina
"It's up to you to Re, but if you don't mind you can stay here again. That way the money that should be made to pay for the contract you can use for the needs of Beni and Dayu," said Hari
"Yes, I'll talk to Mas Ali" Regina replied
Seeing her Husband who chose to sit on the porch of the house made Regina immediately leave and take her children home.
Upon arrival at the house the woman immediately invited Ali to talk in her room.
"Why the attitude of mas like that, it is not good when you visit and instead sit in front of the house instead of inside" said Regina
"I'm just trying to keep my heart Re, I don't want to be an ungodly daughter-in-law who hates her father-in-law for always insulting her, that's why I chose to pull over" Ali replied tearfully
"I know how you feel but at least you can hold on for a moment" Regina replied
"It wasn't enough all this time that I've been holding everything back. You know your father and all your family always insulted me when I visited that house, you never even defended me even as if they agreed, regardless of my feelings," Ali replied
Not long after Beni came out, the young man actually wanted to ask Ali to take him to his friend's house, but seeing their quarrel made him undo his intentions and snatch the key of the motor lying on the table
" Where are the nights like this?" ask Ali
"There's group work," replied Beni flatly
"What group work should be done these nights?" ask Ali
But Beni did not answer and left.
"Ah you son of a bitch, why is he always so disrespectful to me!" gerutu Ali's
At one in the morning, Ali woke up when he heard the sound of a motorcycle stopping in front of his house. He immediately went out and saw Beni just coming home with a disheveled shirt and the smell of cigarettes.
"Why the clock just came home so you know what the hell until late at night like this. And also why does your body smell like cigarettes, are you starting to smoke now?" ask Ali
"Dad does not need to know the affairs of young people, better father just find a lot of money so we can live decent!" suhut Beni then slammed the door of his room
*brakkk!!
"The more days why his attitude is getting brazen," said Ali sighing
Upon returning to her room she saw Regina awake and sitting on the lip of her bed.
The woman then conveyed her father's message asking him to return to live with her, but Ali refused because he wanted to live independently without the interference of his parents.
"Our economic situation is getting here is getting more difficult, how if we move again just to the father's house, then we can save money on rent, so we can save money, it's enough that one million dollars can be used for the needs of school children," said Regina
"Always, free to live independently if the wife also has to intervene to make a living. Not that I have a husband I live a good life even I have to intervene bone support family!" regina then immediately turned her back to her husband
"From the first I've said that you don't want to work nor papa, I never told you to work. But you yourself are determined to work, continue if this is why I should be wronged?" sahut Ali's
"Of course, because if I don't work continue to make the cost of daily living from where. If you take it from you we can starve to death!" regina then covered her body with a blanket
"Ah shit!" pekik Ali then immediately woke up from his bed and chose to sleep on the sofa.
In the morning as usual Ali seemed busy preparing breakfast for his children who were about to go to school.
"Fried rice is ready!" exclaim Ali with a face sumringah
"Ashik, thanks dad," said Dayu so happy to receive fried rice made by his father
"I don't want breakfast, bored. Every day, eating fried rice is nothing else!" beni
"There was no Ben, if you had asked for it, it must have been the other father of the rice," Ali replied as he looked at Beni's bruised face
"Why did someone hit you with your face?" telisik Ali
"Yesterday I fell while playing futsal" Beni replied
"Oh so apparently, do you want me to make toast?" ask Ali
"Not to,!" yelled Beni then moved from his seat
"If so just bring father's supplies," Ali hurriedly gave his box to his son, but Beni denied it until the box fell to the floor
"No need, I'm the son of Tk what brings all the supplies!"
"If you don't want to let Ayu do well," said Dayu immediately pick up the box and put it in his bag
Seeing his wife come out of his room, Ali then gave him a serving of fried rice, "This is his breakfast dear,"
"Today I didn't have breakfast, because there was a morning meeting so I was in a hurry," Regina said immediately rushed out and turned on her motorcycle.
Ali only sighed seeing Regina and Beni leave.
"Do I have to go back to being a mercenary again, so that everyone respects me and does not look me one eye?" murmured with a sad look in the eyes
"Dad, let's go, it's late!" exclamation Dayu disperse daydream Ali
"Yes son," replied Ali then picked up his backpack and rushed out of his house.
After taking Dayu to her school, Ali headed to her workplace.
Just now that he was wearing his work clothes, suddenly his phone rang. Hisham, Beni's homeroom teacher, reported that Beni had an accident during sports.
Ali looked so panicked after hearing the news. His usually excited face suddenly felt like a young man who had just lost his lover.
Many times he could not turn on his motorcycle because it was so tense that a colleague volunteered to take him to Beni's school.
On arrival at school his wife and in-laws had already arrived there first.
They're explaining the chronology of how Beni fell. Hisham then takes them to the school clinic where Beni is treated.
Seeing Beni's condition, Ali found some irregularities in his son's body. He began to compare Hisham's explanation with the wound on his son's body. Ali began to look suspiciously at Hisham who dared not look at him as he explained the chronology of the events that befell his son.
"Your son fell when he failed to jump at a height of 140 cm" said Hisham then turned his face away
As a mercenary Ali could not believe the man's words one hundred percent. He then examined the wounds of his son and began to analyze them.
"I'm sure it wasn't an accident, but an assassination attempt,"
