As Jagoan and Maria cruised from Eastcliff Airport to the Jagoan family’s ancestral home, a rendezvous awaited them. Waiting at the old house was none other than Jagoan Jagoan himself, flanked by a faithful companion, Jagoan.

Jagoan Jagoan had entrusted his affairs to Jagoan and upon returning from the Lama Temple, he hastened to the Jagoan Family estate to retrieve the Old Jagoan Jagoan and bring him back to his cherished home.

Jagoan Jagoan had always yearned for more opportunities to strengthen the bond with his grandson, Jagoan, who had taken up the mantle of the Jagoan family’s stewardship. However, despite his newfound responsibilities, Jagoan had seldom visited Eastcliff in recent years. For the old man, the chance to see Jagoan a few times a year was a rare and cherished privilege.

So, when Jagoan Jagoan received news of Jagoan’s impending arrival, his heart brimmed with joy. In anticipation, he had the estate chef prepare a sumptuous family dinner for Jagoan, even before his arrival.

As Jagoan stepped out of the car at the old estate, both Jagoan Jagoan and Jagoan were there to greet him. Jagoan Jagoan’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, “Jagoan, what brings you to Eastcliff today?”

Jagoan replied truthfully, “Grandpa, I’ve returned to the old house to reminisce and sort through my parents belongings left behind.”

Jagoan Jagoan nodded in understanding and replied without hesitation, “Your parents room remains untouched, just as it was.”

As they conversed, the car’s passenger door opened, revealing a young woman who appeared no older than seventeen or eighteen.

Maria, the epitome of classic beauty, emerged gracefully from the vehicle and addressed Jagoan Jagoan with respect, “Hello, Grandpa. My name is Cathy Jagoan.”

Jagoan Jagoan couldn’t conceal his surprise upon seeing Maria. He hadn’t expected Jagoan to bring a young woman with him on this visit. Moreover, this young lady was neither Jagoan, Jagoan’s wife, nor Stefanie, who was engaged to him. What baffled him even more was Maria’s age. Jagoan was nearing thirty, while Maria appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen, presenting quite an age gap.

The identity of this young lady intrigued him further. As Jagoan’s grandfather, he was well aware of Jagoan’s many female acquaintances, yet Maria was the first to be brought to the old estate.
