One week later ...
Joanna was cured and allowed to go home by the doctor. With note Joanna must maintain her diet and not consume food carelessly first so that the stomach acid does not return.
"Suddenly kangen Papa." murmured Joanna who was still clearly heard in Arjean's ear.
They're in the living room. Watching Joanna's favorite upin and ipin series.
Yes despite its age is quite old but the cartoon from the land of the Neighbor is attractive to all ages, including Joanna.
"When we go there."
Lies.
Arjean is still busy mobilizing his men to find the whereabouts of Soraya who has fled carrying several important letters containing the legacy of the Ruby family and a power of attorney over the ownership of the Wafer factory that has been changed hands to others.
Luckily Arjean managed to retake it so that the Wafer factory owned by the late Bu Anne did not fall into the hands of others.
All thanks to the power of Arjean's money and a little threat as well.
"Tomorrow? I'm gonna go see Papa, Je. I don't know, I miss it even though Papa is evil as me but Papa is my parents." said Joanna, tightening her arms to Arjean.
Before that, Joanna had a dream about her Father and Mother.
They were wearing the same white clothes.
In the dream, Mr. Derryant said an apology and looked so sad.
Joanna had no idea what the dream meant.
His feelings were suddenly not good.
"Can't, Jo. I'm busy."
"Yes already. I'm getting Zelo or Lian, what?"
Arjean rubbed his wife's cheek, "Just like me. But it can't be tomorrow."
"But I want it tomorrow, Jean."
Joanna's eyes began to tear. This makes Arjean worried, if until Joanna knew Mr. Derryant was dead one week ago.
The news of Mr. Derryant's death was deliberately closed tightly so that not much negative speculation was circulating.
"Yes already. Tomorrow we go to Papa's house ..."
Arjean cupped Joanna's face and made their eyes meet, "But I want you to promise me."
"What about?"
"Whatever happens, trust me if everything will be okay. Justice will exist."
Joanna frowned, "Ish! What the hell are you talking about, Je? I don't understand."
"Promise first, Joanna."
"Yes, I promise. Then tomorrow we go to Papa's house?"
Arjean nodded. Forced to comply with Joanna's request that can not be delayed again.
Ready or not, tomorrow Arjean must tell all the events that happened to Mr. Derryant.
"Je, there's a phone" said Joanna pointing to a flat object on the table.
"Just a moment."
"Hm, pick up first."
...••••...
Soraya chuckled when she saw the mound of red earth that was still wet, coupled with the tomb of Bu Anne who always looked neat.
"Mas, I'm coming."
There is no remorse. Soraya was seen rubbing her still flat stomach.
"Just try you don't like hitting me, maybe it won't be like this."
The mask and sunglasses covered his face from the possibility of someone being aware of Soraya's presence.
He must not underestimate Arjean who could have known of the murder that Soraya had committed.
Moreover, Ruby's residence seemed quiet and the gate had been padlocked when Soraya deliberately passed the front road of the house to make sure.
"Where are you going?"
Two men of great stature blocked Soraya's path.
Soraya was about to run away but her arm was blocked by one of the men.
"Follow us!"
"No! You can't make me come!"
"Much bcot! Drag him!"
Bugh!
As he continued to wriggle, the man hit the nape of Soraya until he fell unconscious.
And carried him to the car.
...••••...
Lian sat pensively thinking about Arjean's words yesterday.
"Papa Derryant passed away a week ago. He killed Soraya with arsenic powder ..."
"Lian, I'm afraid Joanna will be shocked when she knows her father died even though their relationship has been bad."
He broke his face rough.
The sight did not escape the eyes of Zelo who had since noticed Lian beside him.
"Lo why?"
They were in the office rooftop, enjoying the cool breeze of the afternoon because it was time for lunch.
"No papa."
"There's a problem with my story, even though I can't help .."
"But not being able to reduce your burden! Don't beat yourself up, Lian."
"Joanna's father died."
Zelo was surprised to hear the news.
It's not funny if Lian was joking about Joanna's parents' death.
"Your brother who told me yesterday and now, Jean is confused, should tell Joanna how. He wants to make it to his Papa's house tomorrow."
"Can't you?"
"Lo know Joanna's Stepmother? Jean said he killed Mr. Derryant, Ze."
Zelo couldn't believe what he just heard.
Shocked because this important news was hidden from Joanna. The girl has the right to know the situation.
Don't let Joanna know it before anyone else.
...••••...
The next day, Arjean and Joanna arrive at Ruby's house.
Joanna's eyebrows wrinkled when she saw her father's house being padlocked from the outside.
"Totally quiet?"
"Where's Papa? Is it possible at the factory?" murmured, again.
"Jo, there's actually something I want to tell you."
Arjean's face turned serious. So Joanna got back in the car.
"Don't scare me, Jean."
"Jun, take us to the tomb."
...••••...
Joanna cried as she hugged a gravestone bearing her father's name.
"Father!"
"This is impossible! You can't leave me, Jean!"
"Pa, why is Papa this bad as me? Aye! No papa, if Papa wants to maki Joanna but as unwilling as Papa don't go kayak gini."
In the midst of that cry, Arjean recounted all the events that happened a week ago and Soraya who had been captured and thrown into prison by Arjean.
"I love you very much Papa. I ... I'm sorry, Pa. I shouldn't give up on Papa if Soraya's a bastard!"
"Dear, is it? It's not your fault. Doain Papa, just calm down there."
"No, Je. Why does it have to be this piece? I hate to know Papa likes to be rude Mama but as much as I hate Papa Deryyant, he's Papa's tetep who has adopted me, hks!"
"Yes, I know. But it all happened. Even if you lament, it won't make Papa wake up."
Joanna's cry broke even more after hearing Arjean's words that hurt her heart so much.
So Joanna's dream yesterday was this.
Mr. Derryant apologized for all the wrongs he made on Joanna.
"Let's go home. You need to calm yourself first. It's raining, honey."
"I want to get them. Nemenin Papa's with Mama here, Je."
Joanna let the tears run down her face.
Look alternately at the tombs of his parents who are deliberately juxtaposed.
Not yet dry wounds on the death of Miss Anne, now Joanna again swallowed the bitter reality if she also had to lose the Father forever.
Sorry Joanna, Pa, Ma.
