Xena
89. Opening a New Branch

Now Vano and his friends are in Yani's hospital room. Vano initially doesn't want to leave, but Arlan and Jhody forcefully pull him to get there.

Inside the inpatient room there are already Bram and Ferry who take care of Yani, there are also two parents Ferry. Yani's parents are on their way home from overseas, after hearing from her daughter.

Vano just kept quiet while playing his phone, while the others chatted with each other there talking about what happened to Yani.

"How did this happen Fer?" ask Jhody.

"I don't know, I was also surprised when I told the hospital that Yani had an accident" Ferry rubbed his face.

"Have you reported the police?" ask Bram

"Already, but the police said if Yani was hit and run, there was no evidence there. Because the road was deserted and there was no CCTV" Ferry said

"How's Yani's parents, is he coming?" ask Bram again

"They are on their way here from abroad" replied Ferry's parents anxiously staring at his nephew.

"I don't know how to explain to Yani's parents, I can't take good care of her" Ferry said

"Don't turn on yourself, it's not your fault. We all know that Yani is a difficult woman to manage. Maybe he let his guard down until he became a hit-and-run victim" Arlan said.

"But what if Yani can't accept her condition as she wakes up. He's lost both legs, his life must have been ruined" Ferry said, feeling sorry for his cousin.

Everyone fell silent, it was true that they did not like the cousin of Ferry, but they also felt sorry to see the current condition of Yani.

Among the others, Vano simply listened. He did not have the slightest sympathy for Yani, but in his heart he was very satisfied and grateful to the person who made Yani disabled.

It was the right reply for Yani who had dared to harm her beloved sister.

His other friends are not strange if Vano is silent, because Vano is indeed typical of people who do not talk much. So they don't have a problem with that.

....

The day passed quickly, Ray was still out of town for a promotional event. Xena is also in the sport with the opening of a new branch of her Restaurant.

The new restaurant branch is in the southern area of the capital, Xena has already reviewed the location with Citra and bought the land and building in advance.

After the building is repaired and decorated as beautifully as possible in accordance with the theme that Xena wants.

Citra has opened job vacancies and got 1 professional manager, 1 bookkeeping administration, 6 experienced chefs, 12 waiters, 4 cleaning services, 6 security after screening from hundreds of applicants.

And today is the inauguration event, unfortunately Ray still has not returned. So it's just being attended by certain people.

Xena's parents came to the inauguration of her daughter's restaurant. Olive, Wenda and Vano also came up with a congratulatory wreath representing Dirgantara Group.

Bram, Arlan and Jhody also came, only Ferry did not come because he was still waiting at the hospital. Arsy also came alone there, he wanted to congratulate his best friend.

Reksa's grandfather also came to represent Octavio Group, which surprised everyone with Xena's connection to the country's richest man. Even the richest man brought gifts for Xena.

"Congratulations on the branch of Your Restaurant Xe, The restaurant is very large and comfortable" said Reksa's grandfather proudly to his future granddaughter-in-law.

"Thank you, Come on in" said Xena smiling warmly.

Reksa's grandfather then talks to Xena's parents, saying that tonight he will come to discuss Xena's engagement. He also said that Ray still had a promotional schedule, so he could not attend the opening ceremony of the restaurant.

After Grandpa Muta left, Olive who was walking with a cane approached Xena and Arsy. All three are now sitting on one of the benches in the restaurant.m provided for guests.

"He's Ray's grandfather" Xena said, not covering anything from Olive.

"What????" olive said in surprise and closed her mouth.

"Ja-so, Ray's the heir to the mysterious Octavio Group?" asked Olive and Xena just nodded.

"Jeez Xe, I'm so glad to hear that. Doesn't that mean you'll be Octavio's young mistress" Olive said.

He was happy to hear the news, then his gaze turned to Arsy who was staring at his brother from a distance.

"Hey, you've been staring at my sister since, look at your eyes until you get out. Is my brother handsome? Do you like it?" ask Olive to the point.

"Eh, eng-not really. I-I saw the others too. I have eyes so look around" said Arsy nervously.

"Accuse my best friend this one of his face flushed red. I told Napa" to Olive.

"What the hell, not Liv this because I ate spicy food that was so red" said Arsy.

"Ngeles aja you rich bajaj" said Olive laughed with satisfaction.

Xena who saw her two best friends just chuckled, she also knew that since the attention of Arsy centered on Vano.

It does not matter if his best friend approached Vano, any germs around Vano will soon be eliminated. The man was unable to walk and was still in a coma in the hospital. So there's nothing dangerous if Arsy decides to go after Vano.

Yeah, the germ that Xena was referring to was Yani!

"I'd like to help you if you really like my brother, but it seems like it's going to be hard for you to fall in love with him" Olive said.

"Why? Does your sister have a boyfriend?" ask Arsy curiously

"Jiaaahhh, finally I'm telling you that you're the same big brother" said Olive laughing loosely.

"Isshhh, you pranking me Olive!" said Arsy upset and pouted.

"He-he, I'm sorry about the sister-in-law. But I seriously said that. It will be hard to make him fall in love with you" Olive said again

Called the prospective sister-in-law made Arsy's face red instantly. But he was also curious about the reason why his best friend's sister had such a hard time falling in love with him.

"Why?" ask Arsy again.

"That's because her heart is just as strong as a child's" said Olive pointing at Xena with her chin.

"Xena? Isn't Xena the same Ray?" arsy was surprised.

"Sister's love claps one hand, he's also wrong. Because it used to be a waste of Xena's feelings. I can't lie to you because you're my best friend, Ar. So I said it early, I don't want to be misunderstood later if it's not straightened out from the beginning" Olive said

"Wasting Xena's feelings first?" ask Arsy.

"I've loved Vano since I was a little girl, but I gave up a long time ago. And I met your cousin, and then I was devastated by his sincere love for me. So you take it easy, I have no feelings for Vano's sister, because my heart now belongs to Ray" Xena said.

"Cousin? Wait up! Ray and Arsy's cousins??" olive said she was shocked to learn of the other shocking news.

"Yes" replied Xena and Arsy compactly nodded.
