The White Lotus Science
Part 111 Unexpected meeting

“Dad, did Uncle meet Dad?”

“Uncle has long been looking for your whereabouts, even Uncle has been looking for you everywhere.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, do you know where your father went?”

“No Uncle, I have even gone home, but Dad has gone wandering away from me.”

“Your father did not wander Tiara, but your father is now in Muaro Padang.”

“I mean Uncle, my dad lives in Muaro Padang?”

“Iya Tiara, Your father is currently a teacher at the White Lotus Padepokan.”

White Lotus Padepokan, where is Uncle?”

“It's near Muaro Padang, there's a long-standing storehouse and it's where your father taught so many santri.”

“Oh, thank God, it turns out that You have protected my Father.”

“Do you not want to see him?”

“Sure Uncle, sure. But for now, I can't go back to see Dad.”

“Why?”

“Actually, I live here with my foster father, he's a rich merchant. She asked me to be her personal bodyguard, coincidentally because she had no children, she raised me to be her daughter.”

“That's lucky your fate Tiara, you get rich adoptive parents. Rarely is there anyone as lucky as you, for that Uncle's message not to let you disappoint him.”

“Good Uncle, God willing.”

“Then, Uncle goes first, later if uncle has time, Uncle will come again.”

“Do you not want to stop by, go to my house?”

“Lain times only, dear.”

“Come, Uncle. Please stop by for a moment, who knows Uncle knows my adoptive parents.”

“Lain times only dear.”

Because his teacher's Uncle refused, Tiara felt a little disappointed, because Tiara was so eager between the teacher's Uncle and his Father to know each other.

“Alright, if you keep forcing, then Uncle will stop by for a while.”

“Oh, thanks, Uncle.”

Accompanying his Uncle from behind, Tiara went straight in to meet his father who was sitting in the living room.

“Assalam’alaikum,” greet Sutan Mudo.

“Wa’alaikum salam,” replied the rich merchant while standing, approaching the door.

“Dad, introduce this my Uncle teacher.”

As Sutan Mudo emerged from behind the door with Tiara, Abdullah saluted immediately, bowing his head.

“Mr Sutan?”

“Waah, apparently here you stay Dul.”

“True Mr.”

Seeing the familiarity of the two of them, Tiara was astonished at that moment, with the curiosity she had, Tiara tried asking her father.

“So, I know my Uncle teacher?”

“Know dear, our merchandise it, is the property of your Uncle teacher Sutan Mudo.”

“Ooo, so, Uncle teacher a Merchant too huh?”

“It was a long time ago dear, but at this time, Uncle was no longer able to trade, so Uncle just told others to work on Uncle.”

“Kok, I never said yes?”

“By what?”

“About Dad's trading during this.”

“Dad doesn't know, if this Mutant Mudo is your Uncle, dear.”

Hearing the explanation from Abdullah, her foster father, Tiara could only smile sweetly. Their meeting that night made the atmosphere of Abdullah's house become crowded and full of happiness.

“Dad, said Uncle teacher, My father turned out to have been in Padang, if Dad doesn't mind, can I come with Uncle teacher to see my Dad?”

“Of course, darling, it hasn't been so long Dad told you to look for your real father's whereabouts, because I don't want you to regret it later.”

“O yes wait a minute, Sir,” Abdullah said, rushing to his room.

“Where is Uncle going?” tiara asked astonished.

“Stop it, we'll see later.”

After waiting for a while, Abdullah came out with a small bundle in his hand, and Tiara, who saw him, was astonished.

“What is Father?”

“Money the result of our sales during this darling.”

“Ooo,” says Tiara briefly.

“This is Mr.” Abdullah said, while presenting a bundle to Sutan Mudo.

Then Sutan Mudo opened the bundle, in the bundle, there were a few small pockets of money that had been packed into several coffers.

Then Sutan Mudo gave five small coffers to Abdullah. But when the five small coffers were received by Abdullah, the look of the face was different from the look of his eyes on Sutan Mudo.

In response, Tiara commented on her father, who looked a little stunned.

“What's Dad?”

When the question was asked by Tiara, Abdullah did not answer, because the astonishment still lingered in his mind.

“What is this Sir? Why so much?”

“The rest is for you, share it with your members, it's a gift from me.”

“Oh, thank you Mr.”

“Waah, Uncle teacher very generous turns out.”

“Neither, dear, coincidentally for this year, our trades sold so much, that we profit more from the proceeds of that sale.”

“That's why, Uncle splits the profits?”

“Quickly once.”

“Ooo, so yes.”

“If you become a merchant, you must understand the condition of your members, you see for yourself no, how dangerous the merchants sell their merchandise, they are attacked and even robbed.”

“Yes, Uncle, I have witnessed for myself, what my Father has experienced.”

“Yes, that's how they brought the merchandise, even they some who died to save the merchandise.”

“Uncle is right, then, if their merchandise is robbed, do they still pay it to Uncle?”

“In trading, and carrying so many goods, Uncle always reminds them, if on the road they meet with thieves, then avoid it if no one is able to fight, just give it, give it, how much did he ask.”

“Ooo, so yes, Uncle.”

“Iya dear,” replied Sutan muto while holding the head of her nephew.

After they had finished talking, Sutan Mudo and Tiara asked for their leave, they both left the house of Abdullah, a wealthy merchant, whom Tiara had considered his father.

With Sutan muto and Tiara quickly leaving Abdullah's house, the two of them went towards Muaro Padang.

“Have you lived with Abdullah for a long time, baby?”

“Already Uncle, it's been almost four years.”

“Abdullah, dear good man, he never had any problems with Uncle when trading.”

“Yes, Uncle, my Dad is so nice, he even offered me, to invite Dad to stay with us.”

“Means you're in his heart.”

“Iya, Uncle.”

“if it is like that, please you keep her trust, don't let her down.”

“Iya Uncle.”

After they ran for so long, they arrived in front of the White Lotus Padepokan, at that time Datuak Malelo was training the students, in the Padepokan backyard.

“Does Dad live here now, Uncle?”

“Iya, darling. Your father became a teacher and guide at this Padepokan, since the white robe swordsman killed Mayangsari,” replied Sutan Mudo, while holding Tiara's hand entering the Padepokan.
