Mandarin Oriental Hotel Manhattan, New York
That night the plenary men of the fifth generation chatted last night while eating and drinking until dawn. Since it was Sunday and Rajendra - Abi - Joey had already booked about ten rooms for them to rest, they ended up all wearing reserved rooms for sleeping. Chris has a room with Benji and Fathir.
***
"No need to think about clothes. It's here" Benji told Chris.
"There already? What does Ben mean?" ask Chris while yawning.
"My brothers were always prepared in advance so they knew who was coming and they had prepared a change of clothes according to body size. So tomorrow uh it will be noon if mas Chris wakes up, after bathing there is a change of clothes" Benji replied.
"They were like that Chris. So even if we forget to bring clothes, the assistant must have prepared everything" said Fathir.
Chris just nodded and the three of them went into the room with a large double bed.
"Benji is sleeping. Sleepy!" Without getting stale, the bontot immediately threw his body into bed. "If Benji ngorok, yes maap" he murmured with his eyes closed.
Fathir and Chris just shook their heads.
"You're reportedly dating Alea?" ask Fathir while putting down his Balenciaga duffle bag.
"Yes. I'm with Alea."
Fathir made a hot tea that gave one cup to Chris.
"Thanks Fathir" Chris said as he received the teacup.
"Alea it bontot us after Benji. Oom Ezra and Aunt Keia took a while to get Alea so it's only natural that we all love that girl." Fathir sipped his tea. "If Benji is indeed a fifth-generation bontot guy."
"How's Aussie?" ask Chris.
"Challenging! I would rather live in Queensland. You know, my savings went out to buy land there to make my dream of owning a sheep, cattle and chicken farm. And it's not quite because I just want two years of farming."
"Both your parents?"
"Daddy berserk! Haha. I wish I could be an architect and become an angon wedhus. Oh, that's Javanese for goat herder." Fathir chuckles. "But I want to prove that I can! Moreover, my Opa supports my work. You know, Opaku Javier, is the most important person in the business world belonging to the Pratomo clan but he is very open minded to the wishes of his granddaughter. Different from Daddy who still hopes I continue his business. But it was all this time that Falisha had been helping Daddy so I thought, why don't I realize my passion."
"Your family is great Fathir. But aren't you afraid your names are tainted?"
The handsome Turkish man looked over. "Oom Ezra's in the cell?" his bracelet. "We killed people once!"
Chris gawking. "Huh?"
When Rain is kidnapped, Alexandra kills Martinez with a scalpel, Kaia blows up Yuna and Edward's killers, Aidan and Arjuna ransack Dubai and some of their criminal activities.
"Did you know? Our Opa-opa many who participated in hell week Navy Seals even Opa Javier escaped five times. Aunt Keia's a military hobby, Chris. He can even drive a tank and a sniper but still lose to Aunt Sabine's mother Ayrton. So Chris, about Oom Ezra being jailed last night, for us that's normal and trivial. The point is like this, we won't be stuck if it's not staged first."
Chris gawked at Fathir's story. "What do I not know about you?"
"We can all shoot and defend ourselves except Anandhita. He prefers shooting rather than martial arts because he does not want his hand injury that can affect the performance he became a surgeon. Oh Chris, Alea that besides pencak silat, he can eskrima you know."
Chris held his temple. Yes, forgive my Humaira.

Three days later the members of the Pratomo family began returning to their respective countries by private plane. And families in New York are back to work as usual.
Aminah had warned not to carry around the Hamilton surname for not bothering Ezra and Keia.
"Don't be arrogant you'll be Hamilton's daughter-in-law, Chris. Because we won't know what the future will look like. Stay the Chris who has been educated and dear Umi." Aminah gave a message to her adopted son.
And Chris also obeyed the words of Aminah and he was grateful that he could accept Alea and her family with open arms even though it was a bit inferior at first. But the kindness and the way Keia approached Aminah, making the Palestinian woman could accept the Sultan's family known humble.

Two Months Later
Fayza and Pramana are getting ready to fly to Seoul for business. Both were transferred by Ashley Sky to JFK airport. Despite disagreeing with the two of them on a commercial plane, Fayza reassures Ashley that they are fine.
The couple who wanted the proposal also said goodbye to Ashley and Pandu. And Ashley in her heart prayed that her daughter and her lover would be safe in Seoul.

The AJ Corp Building Manhattan New York
Alea was finishing the final picture when he heard the news of the Emirates plane crash headed for New York - Seoul, immediately gawking in disbelief.
"Oh Allah, Mbak Fay and mas Pram" he whispered and soon Keia entered his daughter's room.
"Lea! Your brother Fay and Pram were in an accident!"
Alea immediately limp.

News of the accident Fayza and Pramana immediately spread to the entire family of the Pratomo Clan. All hoping to get a quiet result but found at the site, Marco managed to recognize Pramana's body. Bryan Smith assisted the SAR with the use of advanced sonar tools along with the Japanese and American SAR teams located in Okinawa.
Ashley and Kristal who arrived in Seoul with Pandu who immediately did a DNA test proved that it was the body of Pramana, his sister.
The sad news made the Shailendra and Sky families in particular as well as the Pratomo extended family generally sad. Moreover, Fayza has not found either the body or any sign of him.
Pandu brought his sister's body to Jakarta to be buried there after the request of Shailendra's father who had retired.
Ashley and Kristal remain in Seoul until all the bodies are found. But for up to a week, their daughter remained nowhere.
The cloudiness in the Pratomo family still continued when they got word that Mamoru Al Jordan died in The Hague due to his illness.
Alea heard the news of his opinion dying during dinner with Chris immediately crying sobbing in the arms of his lover.
Fayza's story continues in Love and Revenge of Mr. Mafia
