BLESSINGS OF LOVE
The Big Beauty Resto 3

Flashback this morning when Kristy had just come down from upstairs to make a lasagna for her eldest brother.

Before entering the kitchen Kristy had to go through the main door, and she met Soraya who had just come with her eyes moist.

"Mother Soraya, how are you? What the hell is going on? Why did you cry?"Kristy asked what it was when she saw Soraya's condition.

Soraya just smiled as she put her arms around each other and stuck her right left cheek with Kristy.

"This is my friend, Mr. Fuad and Ms. Aletha. We're going to have lunch while we're talking here for a long time. Can I?" ask Soraya.

"Greetings to Mr. Fuad and Ms. Aletha. Please want a long chat is also okay from the origin of a lot of food messages. Hahahahah," Kristy greeted Fuad and Aletha and teased Soraya.

But Soraya just smiled as she shed more tears on her cheeks.

"Mom, what's wrong? try saying, who knows I can help," Kristy felt sad to see Soraya talking to him as her tears continued to pour out.

"Mister, sorry I cut. Better please find us a more private seat. Because there are things that we need to discuss together," Aletha interrupted while clutching Soraya's shoulder.

Hearing that Soraya just nodded to Kristy by trying to smile while her tears still fell.

Kristy apparently does not understand, Soraya does have a weakness that if you are feeling sad it will continue to cry even all day.

Soraya herself had told Aletha and Fuad earlier in the car.

"I'm sorry, I have a shitty weakness. I can not hold back tears, all day I will continue to cry even though I can master the feeling though".

"I'm sorry if it's going to look excessive, because if someone asks, I'll cry again even if someone else's question has nothing to do with my problem," that's what Soraya told Fuad and Aletha in the car.

When heading to the restaurant from the Asmila boarding house, Soraya sat in the back seat of her car.

Eliminate anger and resentment by putting himself to sleep for a moment in order to master the feelings.

Only after waking up, then spoken to then he immediately out tears, although not crying sobbing but tears will continue to pour even though he can actually master his feelings.

Then Kristy showed me a table and a chair in the corner of the room not far from the toilet.

"This place is usually used by teenagers who are dating. Maybe in this corner is more privacy than the other table," Kristy told Soraya and her two new friends.

"Okay, thank you Kristy. The important thing in this section is far from other tables and there is also a socket, because we need to connect to the laptop," Soraya said.

"Well, then what does Soraya's mom want?"kristy asked with a smile and her tone was soft

Seeing Kristy say as softly as it makes Soraya again shed tears, anything makes her touched.

If said young people today his name is more alias excessive.

"Don't call mom, call me brother. Just call brother Soraya, I'm happy with you" Soraya said as her cheeks wet with tears.

While Fuad and Aletha who listened held back laughter, because they knew Soraya was very melow.

Kristy becomes unwell and sad to see him, and he asks Oci to serve food at Soraya's table.

Meanwhile Kristy went to the kitchen to make her eldest sister's favorite food and drink.

Oci then went into the kitchen and said, "Beautiful boss, pity Soraya's mother cried constantly. They had ordered food and drinks, but Soraya's mother ordered while continuing to shed tears".

Apparently Oci also became worried about Soraya, and Kristy asked him to immediately make their order food while she thought about telling Jimmy or Aliong about Soraya's situation.

While delivering the food upstairs, Kristy sees that Jimmy is just about to start a presentation in front of his two brothers.

Of course he couldn't have bothered, because at least that time Jimmy was being asked to explain the offer for the campus over his mother's plans.

After Kristy teased her brother a little about the payment and asked for more transfers for him, she approached Aliong's seat.

"Ko Aliong, sorry to interrupt, do you know Soraya's mother?" whispered Kristy to Aliong's ear.

"Yes, of course. What's up?" tanya Aliong astonished.

"Soraya's mother is downstairs with two of her new friends she said. But since he came to this day, he still cries" Kristy told Soraya's condition.

"Oh so, well I'm down now," said Aliong as he stood up while asking permission to Jimmy to go down following Kristy.

Jimmy just nodded as he continued the presentation in front of Louis Orlando Handoyo and Andreas Cheung.

"Sit where's Soraya?" aliong asked when there was no Soraya at any table.

"There, behind the kitchen by the toilet. There's a privacy corner there" Kristy and Aliong answered, walking quickly to get there.

"Soraya, what's wrong with you?" aliong asked when he saw Soraya's figure.

Of course Soraya immediately looked at the direction of the sound and when he saw there was Aliong, then immediately his tears fell back to his cheeks.

"Ko Aliong.huhuhu," Soraya sobbed sadly when she met Aliong.

"What's this about? who are you two?" Aliong looked astonished to see his best friend's wife crying accompanied by a person he did not know.

Then Aliong sat down beside Soraya, and looked at his best friend's wife with questions.

"Ko Aliong, this is Mr. Fuad and Aletha's mother. They are both families of fellow victims of the accident in Palembang yesterday," Soraya explained while slightly huffing.

"Pak Fuad's wife is Asmila, and it turns out.huhuhuhu," Soraya was now right to cry sobbing in front of Aliong.

Collapsing was already the strength of holding back her feelings, now Soraya was crying full of a wound in the heart.

"What's real?" Aliong wants to know.

"Sir, my wife was found to have been having an affair with Soraya's mother's husband all this time" Fuad tried to answer Aliong's question.

"Mario cheated? hmmm, I'm not sure" Aliong argued Fuad's statement.

"Right, we just got out of Asmila's boarding house. A lot of Mario clothes, even the manager of the place said that Mario often stayed there," Soraya explained while crying.

Aliong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Soraya and said, "I used to even take Mario drunk, sing in karaoke, call the lady at night to accompany him to sing. But only Mario has never been interested in those women".

"If he's drunk, he's his champion. But playing girls at all he doesn't want to. That's why I can't believe she's having an affair".

Soraya took a heavy breath, then looked at Aliong and said, "I didn't believe it at first either, but the reality and the evidence are all there".

Fuad glanced at Aliong while one of his chins was propped up by his right hand, while the fingers of his left hand tapped on the body of his laptop.

"That means Mr Fuad has solid evidence? can I see it?"aliong asked while returning Fuad's gaze.

"There is, but first let's look at the condition of the car that crashed into the river yesterday. I took some pictures of him, so we can all see together "ujar Fuad invited Aletha, Soraya also Aliong photos on her laptop.

Then Fuad turned on his laptop and opened a folder titled Palembang which contains photos of cars that crashed into the river yesterday.

"This back glass broke, and there was wood piercing my husband's chest" Aletha said as her finger pointed at a picture of the back window of the smashed car.

Soraya goosebumps hearing that, then looks at Aletha.

"My husband was hugging his baby. And said local people at the scene, the wood stuck in his chest was accidentally pushed by one of the search team. And the body of the baby poked out to the surface of the water," Aletha continued as her eyes began to turn red.

"Your husband is only with the baby? Why didn't you participate at that time?" tanya Aliong did not understand the story.

Hearing that Aletha smiled, then fell silent for a moment while taking a deep breath, and continued her words.

"My husband is with his wife, and that's their baby. His wife was a girl I considered my own sister, because she was my sister's best friend on campus".

Soraya was startled again, then as she tearfully, she immediately clasped Aletha's hand trying to give her some spirit.

Aletha replied to Soraya with a smile alone with water flowing slowly on her cheeks.

"Then my husband is sitting in the middle seat here. Why didn't he open the car door?" Soraya stared fixedly at the picture on Fuad's laptop.

"Can't be opened, ma'am. The middle of this door juts inwards so that the door cannot be shifted" Fuad said, pointing out the condition of the car door.

"Soraya, look at this car door type sliding door. If it bends the rail, it cannot be shifted at all. Just look at it, this section of the rail is bent inward" Aliong pointed to Soraya for what he saw.

"Means Mario at that time must have tried to open the door but the water coming in from the window broke. So that she was out of breath in there," Soraya imagined her husband during yesterday's incident.

"My wife broke her neck instead, the possibility of her hitting something hard or being hit by something hard that was in the car," Fuad also shared his wife's condition.

"If people say around, the best corpse is a white man. Maybe Mr. Mario, because my husband had his heart stuck in wood, then his wife's sir's head cracked in a heavy suitcase," Aletha said what she had heard from people around the river yesterday.

"Even those sitting in front, there are eyes pierced by glasses and the driver has his hands wrapped around the steering wheel and his feet are stuck on the pedals" Fuad added.

"Indeed when my husband's body arrived, there were not many injuries. Only his body swelled blue, and it turned out Mario had lung cancer," Soraya said as her tears flooded back.

"Well, that means exactly what my wife's friend said yesterday. It turns out that my wife has contacted her friend who is Palembang. My wife wants to take her friend to Kyai there. Means right my wife takes your husband," Fuad immediately remembered Ratna's explanation while in Palembang yesterday.

Soraya covered her face with both hands.

"Mario had an older brother of a famous doctor, even he treated his sister's friend. All this time we didn't know and weren't told Mario had lung cancer. We only knew when we died. What kind of wife am I," Soraya sniffled again.

"Soraya, don't cry anymore. You have to be strong, you have to be sincere. Perhaps it was a powerful statement that Mario had to die like that" Aliong persuaded Soraya.

"Yes, I've been trying hard. But why, why Mario had to tell me all the pain even went to treatment with Mr. Fuad's wife. Why not me, why didn't he tell me and ask me to accompany him. I am his wife, huhuhuhu," Soraya cried again as if she did not accept the reality that had happened.

Fuad sighed, then smiled as he said, "Soraya, if you will. I can too, mom. Asmila my wife, why should Mario come to my wife. Teasing my wife, maybe even fucked my wife. Asmila also has a husband, I'm her husband".

Aletha saw it seemed that between Soraya and Fuad there was a bit of tension, then she immediately tried to mediate.

"Ooo. Don't blame each other. It's all been happening. The three of us have the same fate, losing a partner, being betrayed by a partner. No one can be blamed or justified".

"Both Asmila and Mario certainly have a reason until they establish a relationship and betray you. Even my husband must be like that".

"We're now gathering three not to blame each other. But we should be able to be compact, we can be friends and even brothers".

"If Soraya's mother still can't hold back her feelings. We'd better end this meeting, don't pass on the next piece of evidence. Because it would definitely be much more painful to see," Aletha spoke at length warning Soraya and Fuad.

Soraya was still crying, and Aliong returned to give him some water to drink.

"True mother Aletha, you are ready not to know the truth. Also ready yet to see the next evidence. Because later you get carried away again, then start blaming yourself and spreading to others again" Aliong explained to Soraya.

"I'm past his hurt and anger. Maybe it was because Soraya's mother had just understood, so it must have been a little shaken, "Fuad started to lower his tone again.

"Yes, I'm trying to contain all these feelings. And I need to be able to see all the evidence. Ko Aliong, don't go. Accompany me here," asked Soraya.

"Okay, if Soraya's mom is sure. I want to continue with the next folder. Please, don't get carried away by emotions. Because it was true, even more painful," Fuad tried to make an offer to Soraya.

"I'm ready, please continue," asked Soraya.

Fuad momentarily looked at Aletha, then Aletha smiled awkwardly while shrugging her shoulders. Then Fuad looked at Soraya, and was replied with a nod by Soraya.

"This photo was taken from Mario's camera phone. This possibility was taken secretly, and if I remember this was two years ago. The first time my wife got an award from her director," Fuad said, showing a photo of Asmila wearing a red dress at an event.

"Wildan !!!?" Soraya and Aliong were surprised and said the name together.

Then the other photo shifted, it also looked like Danu was talking while turning her back to the Asmila event.

"Do Wildan and Danu know anything about their relationship?" Soraya asked while looking at Aliong.

"I don't understand, at that time I was still inside" Aliong said.

"I'm sure Wildan knows, just remembered. During the cremation event Ko Aliong's mother's body. If I'm not mistaken I saw Wildan talking to Asmila, and they seemed familiar. I had to question this truth to him," Soraya suddenly became excited again.

"I'm sure their relationship started from the event at the hotel. But I forgot the name of the hotel, and in the photo there is also no name of the hotel," Fuad said while researching the photo display.

"Tomorrow I asked Marsela, she's Mario's secretary. And now still working in my husband's office first," Soraya sparkled her eyes.

"Well, the next photo of the mother was out of the country with her family apparently".

"Yes, I used to go to school in New Zealand for one more year".

"Well, it could have been the beginning of it," Aletha suddenly interjected.

"Maybe".

"Where else?" ask Aliong.

"This is a chat conversation, please read it yourself. There's some screenshot chat on my wife's phone as well as Mario".

Aliong, Soraya and even Aletha also joined the chat message.

Then Aliong chuckled with his head, while Soraya and Aletha looked confused reading the chat.

"There's nothing in their chat, just asking where, then being answered in a regular place, then on the way. Just like that, there was no seduction or dreadful sentence," Aletha was astonished.

Fuad and Aliong looked at each other, and then both chuckled, ", Mr. Aliong, girls don't understand".

Aliong nodded his head in response to Fuad's words.

"How do you mean?" Soraya asked while looking at Aliong.

Sighing, Aliong replied, "They're already in the relationship, so only the two of them already know the place they used to be meeting the two".

Soraya tries to digest Aliong's sentence, then realizes that actually between Mario and Soraya has a secret place that only the two of them know.

Without the need to write at length in the chat, but the two already understand each other to meet where.

His tears fell again, Aletha and Fuad looked back at each other while shaking their heads, because Soraya had been crying incessantly.

"You guys here?" suddenly a voice came from behind them.

Fuad and Aletha were quite surprised to see a man whose face resembled Mario.

It was seen that the man approached, then conversed with Aliong and Soraya. The man passed by and went into the toilet.

"If you can, my husband's family should not know about this problem first" Soraya said as the man passed.

"Who is he?" ask Aletha.

"That's my husband's brother, his name is Jimmy" Soraya replied.

"Yes, Jimmy and I are presenting above. But Kristy, the owner of the diner, told her that Soraya was crying. So I got off to leave the meeting room" Aliong explained to everyone.

Fuad and Aletha understand that Jimmy's presence happened to be working at the diner.

"As soon as I get there, I'll join here" Jimmy said as he finished the toilet.

Soraya and Aliong did not answer anything, only staring at Jimmy confused because they did not know what to say to avoid not having to join them.

"Already, photos of the two of them and also chat, I keep it somewhere else. Later the mother's husband's sister can see the photo of the car toppling over," Fuad tried to calm Soraya.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Kristy was practicing what Jimmy had told her, she did the short recipe that Jimmy had mentioned.

"Yes, true Joy, this is more fragrant and tastier. We were wrong, apparently," said Kristy when her woku fish was ripe.

"That means we have to patent this recipe for the next one" said Joyo, the cook in Kristy's kitchen.

"Deal, now we are more confident that next week we launch Manado cuisine," said Kristy eagerly.

"It's like a love recipe, ahem...

ahem...ehem..," interrupted Oci as she passed from the kitchen.

"Oci restless," Kristy sighed with a sigh.

"If the recipe is panada, how is it, ma'am?" ask Joyo to Kristy.

(Manado special cake that contains spicy tuna, shaped like pastels)

"That's it, back when I was a kid, my mama used to order pancakes from Liz's mom by her name. Only the man is dead, I don't know if his family continues the business or not. Because it used to be what I heard from my mom, if Liz's mom was making cakes on a whim," Kristy remembered her mother's old days often ordered Manado's cake.

"Well, there's a Manado. Maybe he understands the cake-making family. Usually people from other tribes, meet on the island of Java like to form their own community. For example, the Sumatran community, the Sulawesi community, Papua and so on,"Joyo tried to provide input to Kristy.

"It could be, later try Oci ask Mr. Jimmy," Kristy became excited again.

Then she calls Oci, and asks him to ask Jimmy about Liz's mother's family of panada cake sellers.

Jimmy is done dealing with Louis Orlando Handoyo and Andreas Cheung. Tomorrow he awaited them in the building Margo's Tower in the number of downtown Jakarta.

Before the two return home, both Louis and Andre ask Kristy to prepare the upper room later tonight.

It seems that their extended family will be having dinner at this place later tonight.

"Okay, I'll get ready" Kristy said, hugging and kissing Louis Orlando's left and right cheeks as well as Andreas Cheung.

They say good-bye, and after leaving the restaurant door immediately Kristy turned her back without looking at Jimmy and Ferry who were also at the door.

"Ferry, you go to the office first. Just take my car, I'll go back to the office again with Aliong and my brother-in-law" Jimmy told Ferry.

"Ready boss" Ferry said as he passed and Jimmy stepped toward Soraya's desk earlier.

"I'm Jimmy, Soraya's mother's sister-in-law. I'm sorry I was with a client" Jimmy said as he greeted Fuad and Aletha.

"Sir Why are you crying?" ask Jimmy astonished.

"This is Mr. Fuad and Aletha's new mother from Palembang. They were family members of the victims of yesterday's accident. And then Mr. Fuad showed a photo of the accident yesterday, coincidentally the car that crashed has not been pulled ashore" Aliong explained to Jimmy.

"Oh, can I see?" pinta Jimmy to Fuad.

Of course Fuad showed while trying to re-explain the conditions during the accident as he heard from residents around the scene.

"I didn't expect my brother to die this way. Well, of course my father and mother are also the same as us, not expecting it to happen like this," Jimmy tried to comment when he saw the photo.

"May I have a copy of that photo?" ask Jimmy to Fuad.

"Of course you can, via email or bluetooth?" ask Fuad.

"Bluetooth only," said Jimmy while activating his device.

"Jimmy, don't show it to mamih and papih. I'm afraid they're sad just like me" Soraya said.

"No, I'll show you to bang Robert. Take it easy, brother Aya," said Jimmy.

"It's two in the afternoon, I have to pick up the kids," Soraya was suddenly shocked when she saw the wall clock.

"Come, we'll pick it up together. Ko Aliong is driving, " Jimmy said.

"We'll just take a taxi, yeah," Fuad and Aletha felt bad.

"Don't, let's be together. We need to get to know each other better, have the same experience then it would be nice for us to be brothers" Jimmy patted Fuad on the shoulder and both smiled.

"Sir Jimmy!!!"call Oci suddenly.

"What's wrong?" ask Jimmy.

"Boss, the beautiful boss asked me to ask Mr. Jimmy. Do you know Liz's mother's family, the Manado who used to love making pancakes?" ask Oci.

"Oh, you know what dong is. Why indeed?".

"Oh, so. Pretty boss wants to learn how to make that cake, does boss Jimmy know the address?" ask Oci again.

"That's all I'm saying, too" said Jimmy again.

"Seek dong for the address".

"Take your boss ask me for it myself".

Oci giggles at hearing that, then immediately enters the kitchen to deliver it to Kristy.

Aliong was paying for food and drink from Soraya's desk.

It appears Fuad also pulled out a wallet feeling bad, but Aliong refused because he was already holding money from Marsela this morning.

Aliong immediately asked for a receipt, and it turned out that the order he paid was only from Soraya's desk, because the meeting order had been paid by Andreas Cheung.

Kristy came out of the kitchen with a pouty face, then approached Jimmy.

While holding back his irritated feelings he tries to talk to Jimmy asking for Liz's mother's address.

"There are three conditions" said Jimmy.

"What the conditions are" said Kristy tightly.

"Hmmm, number one I'm sorry for what I said yesterday. So please forgive me," Jimmy said as he looked at Kristy.

Gulping, Kristy replied, "Yes, I'm sorry".

"Number two, please unblock my number on your phone".

"Okay, I've unblocked it".

"Well, number three." Jimmy deliberately held back his words.

"What's number three?"ask Kristy.

"Later number three. Now wait for tonight I'll chat Liz's mom's address" said Jimmy with a triumphant smile.

Kristy looks annoyed and annoyed to see the actions of Jimmy who seemed to play tricks on him.
