Adek I'm BAD

83. The Painful Facts

Apocalypse and his eldest son were having dinner. There was no discussion between the two, except for the sound of the clanking of spoons accompanying their dinner. The mansion has always been quiet since his son-in-law took his daughter to their own home. Sometimes, they also come to dinner here, considering that they are no different complex, just a few houses away.

The grizzled man put down his spoon and fork after the last mouthful was over. Looking up, turned his eyes to his eldest son. "Van, meet Dad in the study after dinner."

Rivan stopped chewing, seemingly nodding. "Good, Dad."

The revelation goes first. Samuel's men managed to get a sample from Darel Ario, despite having to get into a ruckus with the man's men—which seemed like someone else's company. In the end, the unexpected bodyguard instead gave a sample willingly to research. This is really weird.

First, Zahra's inaccessible personal data. Secondly, all the info related to it is also difficult to access. Third, those bodyguards seemed to be the messengers of others as well. They look like they're being watched by someone.

Revelation massaged her head dizzy, she took out a brown envelope containing a photo of her newly printed son and grandson yesterday. He can open it now. Take all those photos. The top photo is of his two daughters, the picture was taken when they were just two days old. The fourth day, they wore necklaces sign that they were twins. By the time they were one week old, one of the babies disappeared.

The man turned his eyes to a large photo of his wife, who suffered a heart attack when he was declared in a coma. At first his wife was fine, but because she did not go to the house after one month, the state of his wife increasingly drop from day to day. In fact, he who was not conscious at that time could not take his wife to the final rest. His wife wanted to meet the last child he had born.

"Train, forgive the new mas can find clarity about our child. For so long I searched for our baby, it never came to fruition. One year ago, I met him." The man sighed. "Mas wasted a lot of time not immediately looking for his identity, but mas has felt this bond since first knowing him. You must be so happy to meet our daughter there." Revelation rubbed some of the feathers flowing down her cheeks. "But don't worry, soon enough, I'll introduce you to our grandchildren. Honey, you must have known, if we also get a grandson from Rivan. That's really the kid."

Revelations leaned back on his body, his gaze turning back to the photos he had printed. The man reviewed a faint smile, something he had been yearning for years would soon materialize.

The sound of knocking on the door rang out, he could already guess that it was his son. "Come in," he said.

The room was opened from the outside. The man who was almost half a century old immediately sat down without being invited. As soon as his son sat down, Wahyu's hand moved open his work drawer— took a map in light blue and he threw it at his son.

"Explain to Dad!"

Rivan was surprised to find a map thrown at him. The man scrunched his forehead. "What is this, Dad?"

"You still ask? Read it!" say the Revelation firmly.

Rivan, feeling erratic, began to open the map. His eyes moved to scan the title listed on the first page. His eyes rounded instantly, his vision began to scan the writings beneath him. His brain started to work hard, what exactly is this document? Why does his father have this? Rivan looked back at Revelation, shuddering in horror when he felt the anger of the father who had been at the end.

Rivan put the map to the table, trying to look ordinary—ia ventured back to look at Revelation. "What does this document mean, Dad?"

Revelation exhaled a rough breath, still dare this son ask so? He did not want to lose control in front of his son. Although his age is said to be no longer young, but his physical strength is still qualified to lead the Red Devil five years into the future.

"You're still asking what does that mean? Now Dad asked. Since when did I teach you irresponsibility, Rivan?" ask Revelation with a high voice.

Rivan looked down, the man flinching. He didn't know his father knew this. At first he never thought if he would find the boy and prove something straight away. At first, the speech of the girl he hit two weeks ago was ringing in his brain. With all the anxiety, he decided to look for someone similar to him.

...***...

Rivan had just come out of the flower garden he managed, the lunch break had already arrived. He invited his employees to lunch at the cafe in front of his garden.

That afternoon, somehow his head got a little dizzy. It seemed like he was lacking rest, as well as the effects of too many thoughts lately.

"Thank you, Ma'am" he said, smiling at the waiter who had just put down a drink.

He sipped a little lemon tea in front of him. His mind was glaring back at someone he met two years ago. He had passed the boy, a child who was said to be similar to him. He slightly forgot his face, but at first glance it was similar to him.

A tan-skinned man next to him seemed to nudge Rivan who was still speechless. The boss was daydreaming again, this was the umpteenth time his boss daydreamed after recovering from his illness that day.

"Huh? What's up?" rivan said surprised, the man was a little misbehaved because he was caught again daydreaming. Mind fucked!

"What's wrong, Bang? I see, lately you seem to have a lot of thoughts," said the man. Putting the phone in his left hand, looking at Rivan seriously.

"Come on .. I'm also confused as to what happened to me, Rud," Rivan replied, re-enjoicing at what was troubling his mind.

"Oh yeah, Bang. Yesterday the day after tomorrow, there was a beautiful girl looking for you. I gave her your number, the girl called, did she?" ask Rangga, one of his other employees.

Rivan and Rudi looked at Rangga for a moment.

"You didn't tell me if there was a pretty girl visiting that day, cheat this time you did, Nga!" rudi said he was upset. He also wants to have a beautiful girlfriend is okay.

"God! You don't remember Lita? Less beautiful is that your boyfriend. I'm stirring you up too! That girl is mine, because that single one is me, not you!" rangga did not want to lose.

"Don't fuck with you!"

"Have it done, you guys. Mouthful when you talk about girls." Revan this time turned his eyes to Rangga. "The girl had contacted, she asked for her necklace that had fallen when we accidentally collided that day. But baby, I can't get that necklace back to her. Ay—"

"Why?" asked Rangga and Rudi simultaneously.

Rivan looked wryly smiling. "Haishh, you guys. Don't cut when people talk! Once a habit, change your attitude ...." Rivan was tired.

"Yes-yes, continue. We will not cut it again" said Rangga while chewing his mayo risoles.

The man seemed to shake his head. "I told my sister the necklace, because it was very similar to hers. After being found out, the necklace I found seemed to belong to the girl. Considering the necklace is only my family has, because it contains a photo of twins. My sister figured, if the necklace actually belonged to my youngest brother who went missing as a baby, so that girl I could call my niece, maybe."

Rudi and Rangga only heard while eating risoles, it seemed like an interesting story.

"My father seemed to be looking for the identity of the girl, to prove whether she was really my family's descendant. He always questioned the same thing, I also teased my father—but he said he wanted to return directly to the girl. I'm tired of being on the phone, so I change the number. He also came to the garden some time ago, fortunately I have some business." Rivan stopped the story, then drank his lemon tea to the end.

"Mas, here!" he said to the waiter who accidentally passed by.

"Yes, Sir. Can I help you?" said waiter.

"Please fill in the lemon tea again and I want the bavaroa pudding" Rivan said, citing his order.

"Well, wait a minute." The waiter left.

"Well, if he's really your nephew's boss, I can bust him. She looks good in a dress. Yesterday ...." Rangga stopped his speech, he smiled faintly, "He came yesterday with a casual dress like a naughty girl, very suitable to his face. I want to get close to him."

"Here you go, don't fuck with him. I'm going to the toilet for a while, it looks like my bad disease is coming back." Rivan stood up from his chair, immediately walking to the toilet in a hurry.

After completing his wish, the man immediately came out of the bathroom. Not yet had the man stepped up, he was startled by a young man who was about to crash into him.

They both distanced themselves, staring at each other with shocked faces.

"Sorry" said the young man. He turned around, not going to the toilet.

"Tu–wait, I want to talk," said Rivan, for some reason. This young man in front of him, the figure he met two years ago by accident, the young man who had been plaguing his mind lately.

The incident a moment ago turned back like a movie, when the faces of the two were close together and shocked each other. That face was truly his duplicate, his heart was as calm as it looked at the young man in front of him looking fine.

"Sorry, I'm busy!" the young man said and prepared to step up. The young man walked a few steps, Rivan uttered a few sentences that made the young man stop. He turned around, faced off with Rivan. He looked at that face with courage. Damnit damnit! It's like mirroring.

"You, Revan, right? Son of Kirana? My son!" rivan said confidently, the man seemed to be smiling faintly. I feel regret when I remember her past.

The young man in front of him seemed to display a sinister smile. "I'm sorry, sir, it looks like you've got the wrong person. My name is Revan and my mother is Kirana. I was born without a father, but I don't want to have an irresponsible father either." Revan chuckled softly, still with his cynical face. "It's funny you know, admitting a stranger as his son. Re-picking the things you throw away. Really awesome. Excuse me, sir."

The young man passed by after saying a long barrage of words. Rivan was still stuck in his place. His mind branched back, would he still deserve to acknowledge the young man's son? He felt ashamed of himself.

Rivan sighed, walking towards the sink. Wash his face and gently rub his hair. "Son, forgive your father who is too cowardly to admit you" he said.

Rivan came out of the toilet uninspired, returning he breathed many times. His heavy steps again lead into the cafe, his maniknya grazed to the corner of the cafe. His son was enjoying lunch. He's happy to see that. "The boy, growing up to be a charismatic young man with a high career, judging by his suit. He must be a successful kid."

Rivan smiled faintly, coming back to his employees. He was pleased, in the midst of the search for the child, God was the one who met him with the blood of his flesh.

...***...

"Well," said Rivan, putting the map on the table, looking at his father's face a little awkwardly.

"Dad disappointed with you. How you been thinking all this time, Van? I never stopped looking for your sister, but why did you even shed your flesh and blood?" Revelation massaged her head dizzy. "Dad met him a year ago, just looking at his face made my mind negative. Dad found out and it turned out to be true, he's Dad's grandson. Truly you, leaving behind the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of Father."

"Sorry, Dad. Rivan was not ready to have children. And also, she's from a small family, I'm afraid Dad doesn't like her." Rivan scratched the back of his head that was not itching.

Revelations closed their eyes for a moment, this eldest son really made his head throb pain. He breathed many times he did, to regain his composure. "Van's? I taught you to be responsible since you were a kid. You don't think about the future of your boyfriend and your son? You're selfish, Van! And since when do our families attach great importance to social status? You see your sister-in-law, is she from a high caste? He used to be a hard worker, but see now? He wants to work and learn to be successful. Building his own business. While you? You have everything, just stay responsible don't want to?

"Your mother was also disappointed Van, knowing this. If you are not ready to have children, why do you do that? You have a mother, you have a sister, how would you feel if they were treated the same? You think I don't know, if you go to Daddy's granddaughter's office just to apologize? You are indeed treated like that, not worth their suffering all along.

"When your ex died, did you know? Engga, right? Granddaughter of father, not allowing you to find her mother, she's too good for you. Oh, maybe not Dad's grandson, but God won't let you. At that time, the news of Kirana's death had been disseminated. But somehow, the news didn't get to you. At that time, Kirana's body was buried in the afternoon. It seems they are waiting for your presence. But God does not want it. That's what I know, along with your son's investigation."

Rivan was intrigued, was his ex-girlfriend really dead? Even waiting for his presence at the final resting? "Well, is Kirana really dead?" His heart was sliced, until now he still loved Kirana, only the girl was able to shake his heart. Therefore, Rivan also chose to be alone even though he was no longer young. It's the brengs*k guy who usually destroys the girl's life.

Kirana is so enthusiastic about telling about her pregnancy first, surely she hopes to get married soon. Yes, he remembered it .... The last time they met, they argued about abortion. She wants Kirana to have an abortion, while the girl is determined to take care of her own womb if she does not want the baby. At that time, Kirana also told him, if the fetus he was born with, it will be given a name similar to him.

Rivan decays, slaps his face on the surface of the table. Her tears were unstoppable, dripping more and more. Revelation only looked at her son in silence.
