The Successor of the Family
Other Side

"What's? So Andre's been in a jail cell for two days? Not out yet? Because beating up the kids makes Arnold wretched," asked Papa Reza who was surprised.

It's only fitting that his son was unable to be contacted for a few days. Even after the incident at the office that time, Papa Reza only met a few times in the hospital. But lately Andre has not come and contacted his family.

Somehow Mama Anisa and her two children heard this shocking news. He did not think that his son would be willing to go to prison to vent his emotions. On the other hand, Papa Reza is happy because Andre wants to repay people who hurt his grandson. But on the other hand, he was very upset by the careless act.

"My battered. Even until Mr. Andre throws Arnold's examination results into the faces of the police and the perpetrator. Which ended up being like this. Mr. Andre does not allow me to say the same to Mr. Reza, but I am afraid of lying to my parents" Bayu said while scratching his neck that does not itch.

"It's okay. What you did was right. Just let Andre be in jail and solve his own problems. This can be a form of learning for Andre," said Papa Reza tried to calm down.

"Are you sure you don't want to help Mr. Andre get out of jail?" asked Bayu with a bit of surprise.

"Yes. Let's think there. He is just as bad as the perpetrators. This he has hurt and hurt his wife and children, too" said Papa Reza casually.

Bayu could only scratch his nape that did not itch hearing what Papa Reza said. Didn't expect Papa Reza to let his own son solve the problem. But it's also not his business because everyone has their own way of solving the problem.

"Damn it... Just watch. When I get out of here, I'm gonna take down the people who played a major role in this. Especially the mastermind of this incident. Just because they are underage, they are not detained and only required to report. Surely they manipulate age data so as not to be punished like this," said Andre regretfully.

He had been stuck in an iron cell for two days. He wanted to teach a lesson directly to the culprit. Arnold gets critical and Alan leaves. His family life is comfortable and serene but there are those people.

"That's the food, mas. Fighting culas also needs energy" said one of the inmates who was in the same cell as him.

"I think I can buy sneaky brains if I have the energy," said Andre while chuckling softly.

It turns out that living in a cell like this changes Andre's view of the people in it. There are some people who are indeed scapegoated to be the perpetrator even though he did nothing wrong. Hence who is cunning and ingenious would definitely win in a matter like this.

"Let them find their karma. If it does not happen in the world yes in the afterlife," said Soni, one of the inmates there.

"Sok really loe, Son" said Ricky who is also a friend of Soni.

"Once in a while it's a real talk" said Soni with a laugh.

During the two days here, Andre learned a lot. Especially about the friendship that's in here. Not a bad friendship, even their thinking is broad. Some are smart in honing their talents and pouring their business knowledge.

"Where is your child's critical condition?" ask Soni.

"Don't know yet. I'm here, how can I know he's in the hospital. Want a phone is complicated," said Andre while shaking his head.

"That was two days ago. If so, he doesn't know yet. No family has yet caught up. That time came the assistant in the office," replied Andre.

Recalling about his family, Andre immediately lowered his head. Behind his lowered head, he hid his sadness. At a time like this, no family would visit him. He realized that a little careless in doing something to enter the bui like this.

"Ah... If only Alan was here. I must have been wronged for going to prison like this," murmured Andre who immediately remembered the fuss of his youngest child.

"Nadia who nagged because of my behavior which even plunged into things that are not good" he continued.

All the memories of the togetherness of him and his family immediately entered his memory. If he could, he would like to repeat the same thing as before. When there is a problem, everything is shoulder to shoulder. Even if someone is sick, everyone is worried and takes care of each other. Not even split like this.

"I'm sorry, Alan. Papa is indeed not becus to be the head of the family and a figure who is your role model. If you have a chance, please help me be a better person. Don't leave papa alone like this" he murmured softly.

Her tears rolled down her cheeks. He remembered his mistake to Alan who had repeatedly done so. Even Alan seemed to dislike him a lot yesterday. It looks like Alan can't understand his mistake this time.

"Nadia, return. Me, the kids, mama, and papa need you. We need you two to be the lights in our lives" he murmured.

Everyone in the cell remained silent and let Andre cry. They don't know what the details are like anyway. There may be some serious problems that they cannot possibly tell.

"How, doc? What happened to my granddaughter" asked Papa Reza, who is now in front of the ICU.

Several doctors and nurses ran into the ICU. Papa Reza who sat outside with Bayu was immediately shocked. Moreover, both of them just realized that the lights above the ICU room door was burning red.

"Quiet, sir. Your granddaughter has improved. Even the patient has passed his critical period. It was convulsing, it was just a normal effect and nothing to worry about. We keep the beach 24 hours ahead, if the condition continues to stabilize we will move to a regular inpatient room" said the doctor explained.

Just the explanation from the doctor made Papa Reza so relieved. At least one problem they have been through. A stressful situation will soon be passed even though other problems are in plain sight.

"Bay, this is real, right?" ask Papa Reza who still feels that this is a dream.

Plakkkp...

Awwww...

Bayu immediately clapped Papa Reza's upper arm quite tight. It made Papa Reza immediately realize that all this is not a dream. He was very happy and not angry with what Bayu did.
