You're My Antidote
Other Surprising Facts

"WHAT?! RANI?!"

The king had already guessed that Adit would be that surprised. Even he himself was surprised to know the possibility of Raisa who Adit was looking for was his wife.

Who would have thought that their destinies were interconnected. And who would have thought if the person who had been Adit and his family looking for was precisely the woman Adit loved since adolescence.

And who would have thought, the family that Rani had been looking for was the family of her husband's own best friend.

"That's a new possibility. More details later direct DNA tests only to make everything clearer."

Adit nodded in spirit. "It's fitting all this time I see Rani tuh rich see mother. It turns out he looks like Aunt Shan."

The king ignored Adit's words. He returned to his original purpose of inviting his friend home. "More importantly, I want to know first who Raisa's father is."

The king made sure Rani did not hear what he and Adit were talking about. They're in the workspace. He asked his wife to prepare the breakfast he ordered online. Because when he came down to open the door as the bell continued to ring, it turned out that Rani was daydreaming at the dining table. Although in front of him there were already many dishes that had not been touched at all.

"Why?" Adit looks reluctant or hesitant in the eyes of the King.

"I need to make sure I need to give extra protection to my wife from her own father's family?"

Adit's long breath was heard to the King's ears. The man said. "Lo wouldn't have thought that our world was getting narrower."

"Narrow what?" asked the King to be alert.

"Gue already told you Raisa's full name?"

The king answered with a sledgehammer. He had known about Raisa for a long time. But the king only knows Adit is looking for his missing cousin. Without knowing more deeply.

"His name is Raisa Alana Darmawan."

"Farmers?" said the King to make sure and immediately Adit reply nods.

The king knows the Darmawan family. Large families of the owners of the largest toll road companies are spread across the country. There are two boys whom the King estimates from that age who are the fathers of Rani.

"Whose soldier is Raisa's father?"

"Rio Darmawan." replied Adit with a long sigh.

The King's heart even thumped. That's right what Adit said. Their world is very narrow. They are related to each other.

"You knew that from the beginning?"

Adit nodded. "Since I've often seen mothers cry and I ask the reason."

"Is that why you hated Rere the first time he joined?"

Adit's laughter sounded bitter. "Who does not hate the same people who are related to the Darmawan family if it is in my position" said Adit. "But the more we get along together. I realize, that Rere is also not a child who is treated like a princess. Instead, he had to beg for the attention of his papi. And what happened to my aunt and cousin, not Rere's fault. And I can't hate him since then."

Rere is the only daughter of Rio Darmawan. Or as the public knows, including the King. Rere's life was the same as King's as a child. A house that was supposed to be like heaven felt hell to them.

The king had also heard that when Rere was drunk, the woman cursed the woman Rere called j*lang, which left her family devastated. Without ever attracting the attention of the King who always considered it the wind then without ever asking more deeply.

"Rere knows?"

The king massaged his forehead. If what he has to face is the Darmawan family, it means that the King cannot act alone. His strength had not been that strong to protect his wife from that family. Especially Rere's mom. Because it must be the family that is most opposed to the existence of Raisa.

"Can't, if we hide Rani from her father and family if your test results are positive."

Adit shook his head in regret. "Even my family's movements have been closely watched by Rio Darmawan's men since my grandfather died."

Which means, sooner or later, if Rani is right Raisa, Rio Darmawan will know the news and will pick up the princess who has been in his car.

"If indeed Rio Darmawan was looking for Rani all this time. How could he not have found any trace of his own daughter?" From Adit's arm, the King knew his best friend was the same.

"Gue doesn't even know that Raisa's grandfather is hiding in the orphanage where she's a regular donor."

That fact further astonished the King. That means Adit's grandfather didn't really throw Raisa out. He put Raisa in a safe place and he believed. A place he could monitor at all times.

But if it's Grandpa Adit's goal to hide Raisa. Doesn't that mean there are dangerous things that make him feel free to stay away and hide his granddaughter in an orphanage?

Instead of being calm, the King was getting more worried. Adit's grandfather is dead. Until he can't find out the truth.

"We hid the fact that Rani and Rere were half-brothers. And we postpone the DNA testing process. Or if you need to, let me do the test. Because your movements are being watched."

Adit agreed with his idea. If the King does not want Rio Darmawan to know in the near future about the whereabouts of his daughter, it means that the King cannot do tests in Indonesia. Or at least in a hospital that Darmawan's family doesn't supervise.

Because it could be, it is not Rio Darmawan who knows first. It is precisely the wife or even the family of Rio's older brother that the King knows they are still at odds over the leadership seat. Rani could be a threat.

"What are you wearing? The hairs? Blood?"

The king chose both. But it's not Adit's. Except for Adit's mother. As the closer their relationship is, the clearer the results they get.

"I also need Rere's hair or blood. Can you work on it?"

Rere is still in the hospital, so Adit should be able to get it easily. "Gue went straight to this abis hospital. Please let's process soon so you can also calm down."

The king understood. But he should also discuss the matter with his family as soon as possible. He should be able to get to the Shandika residence without Rani.

"Are there any kids you can trust to take care of Rani?"

"Don't! Lo know for themselves they'd rather lo same Rere than the same Rani."

"I need someone I can trust. The bodyguards that my family has still lost a lot if it has to fight the Darmawan family and its armor."

"I'll talk later. I can help you."

After their serious conversation, Adit immediately farewell without taking breakfast together. Adit had to take his mother to the hospital to get a blood sample. With an alibi visiting Rere so they don't get suspected.
