Sudirja Residence


             The sturdy building was luxurious and majestic, with a spacious courtyard still looking the same as twenty years ago. The silence that once gripped since the departure of Bram and Anita now began to be colored since the arrival of Celine Burhan Sudirja.


 


                "Wah...wah.., it turns out that this papa's son, has business talent too.?" Burhan praised his daughter.


   


                "Yes dong pa, if not Celine, who nerusin Sudirja Corporation.?" Celine chimed in on Burhan's words.


            


              " It seems you are having fun, in what order.?" 


 


               "Was your show a success.?"  


             Oma Yana unhappily stared intently at Burhan and Celine.


                "Mom…"


   


              Burhan and Celine's voices were almost at the same time.


    


               "Oma, Celine Kangen."


    


              " Why the hell, oma from the first like not liking Celine.? 


              


              Celine walked towards the direction of the oma Yana, then hugged the oma Yana who was standing not far from them.


   


              "Oma.." - Celine.


   


             Oma Yana just silently froze, slowly her two eyes condensed grains of crystals falling down her cheeks. He imagined that if the one who hugged him at this time was his biological grandson maybe at this time was a happy cry.


  


            "Let go..!" Ima Yana sidestepped.


 


             Oma Yana walked slowly leaving the two of them.


 


              "Ma.." Burhan's voice called out.


    


              


              "I don't want to talk to Burhan.! The Oma Yana.


     


         


  Passed away without looking back.


               


                "Why pa, Oma has never loved Celine.?"  Looking up at Burhan.


                "Just let it go, is there a papa.?"  Burhan said comforting Celine.


 


               With hardened jaws Burhan clenched both of his hands. Resisting his anger was disappointed by the attitude of his mother who never thought Celine existed.


   


            "Go to your room, papa will see your mama.?"  Buryhan to Celine.


    


                "Prepare yourself for our new project meeting." Burhan reminded Celine.


                 "Good,pa." 


   


         Celine walked towards her room. With a sad heart he still questioned his oma attitude. Celine never knew what was going on between her parents and her mom.

            Oma Yana walked combing the room. His eyes rotated to every corner of the room, holding a cane he tried to climb down the stairs trying to find something


 


               "Come.inah." Oma Yana's voice called out to her maid.


    


               "Yes, wait a minute."  Inah ran small towards Oma Yana.


 


                "Here..Sarinah.." Oma Yana's voice shrillly called out.


 


                 "Yes, Oma, what's up.cock yelling, this.this is right here, oma."  Speech of the house that came in tergopoh - gopoh .


   


                 "You're a prank ya, called from earlier where the hell.?"  Said Oma Yana snorting in annoyance.


 


                  "Oma, is Inah cooking in Oma's kitchen." Sarinah gave an explanation.


 


        "Where's Anton.?" Ask Oma Yana.


            "And, Mr. Anton is out of town."


          Sarinah said slowly.


    


            "Oh my goodness, Kan..Oma who told you.?" Sarinah answered his hand 


while scratching - scratching his head that does not itch.


           


            "When did I tell him to get out of town.?" Oma Yana asked confusedly.


 


              "Well.kumat again deh pelupanya." Gerrutu Sarinah's.


 


             "Heih..kamu inquanya even talk yourself start senile you yes..?" Oma Yana thrust her wand towards Sarinah.


      


           "No Oma, Inah just remember today if it's not wrong Mr. Anton came home Oma.?" Sarinah.


      


              "Mom."


   


        The sound of someone greeting, the instant Oma Yana turned her back she confirmed her glasses ensuring her vision.


 


            "Anton." Oma Yana said softly.


    


           "Yes.selamet ..selamet.." said Sarinah stroked the chest many times.


            "Is there anything you want to say, Anton.?" Oma Yana flat.


      


              "Yes Oma." Anton lowered his head respectfully.


    


             "Come with me." 


   


          Oma Yana walked, accompanied behind Anton following his steps towards a library room. Where they talk about things that no one else wants to know.


 


              "Say, what news do you want to tell me.?" Oma Yana stared intensely at Anton.


   


             


               "Oma, we're late to learn about the young lady's whereabouts, once our team gets there apparently they just moved in." Anton said with his head down.


 


              


                 "Where did they go.?" Ask Oma Yana.


      


                  Anton.


            


 


           "Anton, as you know I'm old, don't come to my death to pick me up yet to find my grandson Anton." Oma Yana said in her sobs.


                "What's the fate of my granddaughter out there, is she eating and sleeping in a decent place." Oma Yana tergugu.


    


              "While I'm here I don't lack anything."  Instantly broke the cry of Oma Yana that he had held all this time.


               


                "Oma calm down, we are still in search of only prayers from Oma one day can bring home young lady" Anton said trying to convince.


   


               Undeniably the longing that has been buried so far makes the attitude of oma Yana change. He wants his rightful heir right back.

                Gubrakk…


   


       Burhan slammed the door of his room.


 


              "Right pisses me off, you old man why not m4t! only !." Burhan said.


      


                 HAHA…


 


                 PRANK….


    


             A flower pot becomes the target of Burhan's anger.


 


         


               "Oh my goodness, papa, are you okay, pa.?"  Miranti's eyes widened to look at the room full of shards of shard.


 


                "If there is a problem, do not play dong dong , kok..pot flowers are targeted.?"  The voice of Miranti protest.


 


            


             "Say there's a problem what pa.?"  Miranti asked her husband very carefully.


   


             


              "If only I had disappeared, maybe now it wouldn't have blocked my path." Burhan said, annoyed that he clenched both hands.


 


          


                Burhan's fiery red eyes bore anger, his jaws hardened like a starving lion ready to eat its prey alive. It harbors a deep hatred.


 


        


              "Papa quarreled with Oma.?" 


               Miranti asked.


        


         Like understanding the situation Miranti walked up to her husband who was angry. Both of her hands were wrapped around her husband's waist she hugged him tightly.


   


               "Pa, who are you angry for.?" 


 


               "Oma, love you so much, otherwise we might not be here right now.?" Miranti said gently hoping her husband's anger would subside.


 


               " But I hate 'Oma not like the old days who loved me so much." Burhan said in annoyance.


 


         


            "Oma, so long as her grandson is missing pa, so the attitude of oma is fickle ."  


   


            "If only Bram and Anita were still alive." Miranti did not continue to speak.


 


          


            "Enough, don't mention that name anymore."  Burhan let go of Miranti's hug his eyes stared intently.


 


           "Did you forget 'cause Bram I got rid of by Oma ." Burhan ketus.


 


            "Papa don't be selfish, Bram's Oma pa's biological son." Miranti explained.


 


      


              "Should have been, we've been looking for where Bram and Anita's kids are."  Miranti tried to persuade her husband.


 


     


              "Enough, shut up, shut up !"  Burhan looked up at Miranti.


 


             Instantly Miranti was aghast at the sound of her husband's clasping she took a few steps back . 


 


          "Pa .. mama doesn't want papa to go the wrong way, if Celine's missing what will you do.?" 


     With a trembling voice Miranti spoke so that her husband would not be offended by her words.


   


           Silent. Miranti's Words 


making Burhan silent no longer make a sound.Burhan looks restless he went to his bed and then lay down his body. 


 


            


            "What.?" 


 


          "So papa's not Oma's son."  Celine muttered softly.


 


               Celine overheard the debate between her parents.  He stood behind the door, his ears he stuck on the door leaf he sharpened his hearing.A great secret unknown all along. Trying to digest the words of his parents slowly he left his parents' room to walk slowly towards his own room. Her heart is deeply agitated after hearing Burhan and Miranti's debate her ambition of being the sole heir should be delayed as she is not Oma Yana's biological granddaughter.


        


   


            In Celine's room, walking back and forth, she was planning something.


   


              Celine grabs her HP shift trying to find the contact she was looking for.


 


               "Hello, Lisa's aunt "Celine greeted the person across the phone.


 


                "Yes hello, what's the aunt's nephew suddenly calling aunt.?" Lisa answered across the phone.


 


                " Tan, we can't see anyone that Celine wants to talk about."  Say Celine .


    


                "What the hell, that doesn't make a auntie's niece, where do we meet babe .?"  Lisa chimed in on Celine's words.


    


                "Ok, auntie we met at Oxford's cafe." Celine finished her talk.


    


                 Celine rushes to the bathroom cleaning herself up preparing to leave .
