YOUNG MAN BARREL
Bastian's Presence

Bastian closed his eyes, with clenched hands that he had hidden. Trying to assuage the emotions that pervade his soul and mind because of the accusations of Oma Hera.

"sorry oma Hera, I'd rather oma telisik even further before, if it's true I want the company of lina oma, if I want, I have always obtained without having to bother working in the company owned by Mr. Tommy and now I am still an employee in the Tanjung expedition" argued Bastian who followed the sharp gaze of the oma Hera.

"sir Doni can I refuse the will, I will not take a penny" said Bastian, leaning his body on the chair.

"sorry Mr. Bastian, but before Lina's mother died, he had already taken care of the transfer papers on behalf of his company to my office, all he had signed, he said, even Mr. Leo the interim leader has also signed as a witness. Only you as the next owner must sign, and everything is in order"

"but doni sir! Bastian is a step-granddaughter! I am the only member of the Linawati family" said Oma Hera, pointing at her own chest.

"Lina is married to Bastian's op-ed with the status of childless widow. Even when they get married, they don't have children" she said.

"my brother Linawati started the company from scratch! it could be that Bastian who was an outsider so easily got the company without feeling the ups and downs like my brother" the thorny voice again sounded loud.

Bastian closed his eyes with a slow sigh, trying to erode the increasingly explosive emotions.

"sorry oma Hera, as far as I know Lina oma every month sent her money for a monthly ration, it was because Ima Lina cared about her siblings. And as far as I know the company oma Lina stood from the beginning until now there is not the slightest interference from the oma Hera and family" suddenly the sentence came out of Bastian's mouth. He knew the aged woman before him only needed a monthly ration.

Oma Hera instantly fell silent dumbfounded at the words from Bastian.

With a slow thump trying to erode the shame and awkwardness, oma Hera again said.

"i.iya me..it's true like that, so why?is it wrong for my brother to do that?" he said with a face that held shame.

"well oma, Bastian knows now what oma means. Bastian will continue the habit of Lina's oma, and Bastian will also add 10 percent of what Lina gave before, Bastian promises" said Bastian full of assertiveness. And right Bastian guessed, the Oma Hera who heard Bastian's promise immediately smiled like a crescent moon.

"okay.oma agreed and do not let you renege on your promise young man" said Oma Hera with a little look up her face.

Bastian got up from his seat. Take a long breath. Passed out of the room. In his mind he knew what his younger brother wanted from his step-om.

His three older sisters just looked at each other not daring to say anything and protest anything. Getting a legacy of one billion is better than nothing.

All families understand why Bastian should inherit the company of the oma, because all this time oma only believe in Bastian. Even the one who accompanied oma in her old age was only Bastian. Out of the hospital only Bastian cares.

Bastian after graduating High School he moved to Surabaya, accompanying oma who lived a kara he also continued college. Actually Bastian has been asked by oma to lead his company, but Bastian refused on the grounds that he was not able and not experienced.

Bastian also refused to work at the oma company. He did not want to work occupying a high position with instant. So that Bastian willingly looking for work from office to office got the position of ordinary employees no problem for him, the origin of his own business.

The atmosphere of the house Laras was again deserted after the seven-day event of the death of the husband, there were only a few neighbors who still survive to be seen chatting with each other.

"ehhh, yes mbak anu mmm sorry I arrived here did not say the same mbak Laras, and indeed I will not have contact mbak also right" chuckled a little hide his panicked face.

"oh..yeah really too, let's go in, sorry the house is still a mess" with a smile knot he stepped following Laras in front of him. Then take a seat on the carpet in the corner of the living room. Some of the people who were still seen chatting saw him at a glance.

"out of the seven-day event" said Bastian open the chat after previously they were silent.

"mmm yeah, it's just finished, and it's not that today is seven days away from your oma?"

"yes, really, but it's also done anyway, once the show is over I come straight here" Bastian looks scratching his head that is not itchy.

"bu Laras we said to go home first" said a neighbor who was still chatting Laras.

"oh yes sir, thank you for your presence, and I apologize" Laras replied as he stood and followed her to the doorstep.

"yes ma'am, same thing, excuse me.monggo..." Baras just nodded his head slowly.

Barrel returned to a sitting position near Bastian. They just shut up and smile at each other. Not what, for Laras there is nothing he wants to talk about because he and Bastian are not familiar even though they used to be company friends.

As for Bastian, he also almost lost his word. Rotating the brain to find the reason why he arrived at the house Laras.

"sorry ma'am, I don't look like Arya is the same as Naren" he said who broke the barren's stubbornness.

"oh anu, they're still going to some neighbors' houses." then Arya and Naren appear who arrived at the door.

"oh.. there's an om Bas turned out" said Naren with a cheerful face.

"hallo...Aryans.. Naren how are you? nich for Arya is the same as for Naren" Bastian said as he handed over the plastic bag he was carrying.

"wah.. thanks om.." face sumringah Arya also expands to accept the gift of Bastian. Naren and Arya sit between Bastian and Laras. They cheered when they opened the bag of Bastian, which contained chocolate, soft drinks, and some snacks as well.

The boisterous sounds of Naren and Arya fighting over food. Not spared also loud laughter was heard from the three of them Bastian Arya and Naren who were engrossed in chatting and joking.

The barrel that observed his two children only smiled knotingly. The presence of Bastian who arrived has given a warm atmosphere to his two children.
