The flashback
'"Why did you ask me?'' Bastian asked with a tone that sounded faintly at Arfen's hearing.
''Because I think you know everything.'' Answer Arfen quickly.
''And Lo thought I'd tell Lo?'' Ask Bastian not lose fast.
"Yes. Because we're best friends."
Bastian chuckled across the street at the word of a friend coming out of Arfen's mouth. "... Arphen... Arfen.. if you want to ngigau, you should not sleep first!" Bastian Eject.
"Bas! I'm serious!" Rebuked Arfen and managed to stop the oddity of Bastian which still sounds clear. "... All this time I still thought you were my best friends. So please, answer my question!"
Not immediately getting an answer, Arfen even heard Bastian sigh. The two remained silent until a few minutes passed.
"In fact a friend will maintain the privacy of his best friend, Ar! I know a lot about them. But sorry! Doesn't mean I can sassy to know that to Lo."
"Cckk." Arfen clucked at Bastian's words. Bastian is right. If he was in the position of Bastian as he is today, he would definitely do the same.
"Gue can't tell you Lo .. but I can give you advice!" Arfen didn't say. He chose to shut up and listen, what Bastian would say afterwards.
"Needing Axell where to go, then Lo will get all the answers you're looking for."
"Axell's Demons??" Arfen sounded unconvinced, "... Lo crazy!"
Bastian chuckled back there. "Lo just found out? Not among the four of us, Lo's the saneest?"
The two remained silent, until Bastian spoke again. "...I'm serious, Ar! You'll get what you're looking for if you follow my advice!"
Flashback.
Arfen sighed after recalling his conversation with Bastian some time ago over the phone. And who would have thought? He really followed the advice of his best friend. Counting, this is the second time he followed the crazy advice of Bastian.
Follow wherever Axell goes.
And this is where Arfen is now, down the street near the mansion that belongs to the Marvellyo family. The house he visited a few years ago.
Yesterday Arfen tried to follow Axell starting from school and ending at d'Axe cafe. From those who use the services of others, to themselves. But, unfortunately, he has not found anything.
And right now, Arfen will try again.
Counting on the passing of 30 minutes Arfen waited, Arfen's head fell to the side when he realized that the high gate was starting to open, then three people in black uniforms appeared, two of them foreign according to Arfen.
Arfen pulled one eyebrow. The door was perfectly open, but no car came in or out of the gate.
Waitaminute! Not nothing, but not yet. Because it passed from 10 minutes later, out came a luxury silver sedan car. The car with the license plate is still very Arfen remember who the owner is.
"Om Marvell." Arfen muttered with narrowed eyes, when he saw the father of Axell sitting behind the driver.
The car drove slowly to cross the road, then faster when it was on the right road.
Arfen sighed, it's getting late. Even the watch on his wrist had already shown at 06:25. Arfen knew very well, Axell always left early in the morning for school, and at this hour, the young master should have left his house, right?
Or maybe ... Axell's not home?
Choosing to go from where he is silent now, Arfen's hand was raised to reach for the sunglasses located on the dashboard of his car. Just about to wear it, suddenly the sound of the roar of a motor sport engine trapped in Arfen's hearing. He turned his head and found an Axell riding a black sports motorcycle, out of the gate of his house. Together with a girl in his arms.
Arfen's eyes narrowed, unsure of what he saw. Until finally the pair of eyes widened.
"Dira!" Sluggishly.
Arfen couldn't believe what he just saw. They left for school together from Axell's house.
Did Dira accidentally come to Axell's house early in the morning just to go to school together? Or maybe ...
'Gue often mergokin the Dira-Dira, in and out of Greenland Residence along with an Axello...'
'They live together...'
Bugh!! Arfen hit the driver of his car strongly. Derry's words some time ago somehow always appear when he thinks of Dira.
Arfen is forced to believe the facts. Including the facts Derry gave. But can he believe what he sees? Still he held firm his judgment about Dira which is still the same as before, the girl he knew innocent and innocent?
He rejected reality, but ..everything was like encouraging him to believe.
Enough's enough! Arfen can't keep quiet in the car like it is today. He must find the answer.
Arfen sighed again, before he finally started his car engine and crossed the road.
...***...
"Arphen?" Sapa Mommy Resty does not believe, but still sounds friendly. "... Waahs... It's a surprise, baby!" Continues sparkling. The middle-aged woman walked over and welcomed Arfen's outstretched hand at her. Let the boy who was the same age as his son kiss his hand.
"Morning, Mother." Arfen said after kissing Mother Resty's hand. "... Mommy healthy?" Ask.
"Healthy dong, baby! You don't see, you're healthy like this?" Answer mother Resty lightly. Arfen chuckled confirming mother Resty's reply.
"Have Arfen not played here in a long time? Tumben playing to mom's house?!" Mother Resty suddenly looked at Arfen's appearance because she was aware of one thing. "... You're truant!" Accuse Mother Resty with such confidence. Because, now Arfen is wearing school uniform pants, only his clothes are covered with Hoodie that Arfen deliberately wears.
Arfen again chuckled, "So stuck in the street, Bun. From onward to school punished, mending Arfen here aja, meet mother and hitchhiker breakfast." Answer Arfen origin. "... Arfen's hungry, Bun .. hasn't had breakfast." His complaint.
Mother Resty shook her head, she was inexhaustible with the thought of this young man in front of her. "You are this, yes. Pinter if you find a reason to express your speech. Class 3 as well. Take the test, Fen! Don't let you not pass the school exam because most of you are skipping!" Tegur mother Resty.
Arfen laughed softly, "Mother calm down! Arfen must have passed." Arfen said with such certainty. A second later he leaned his back against the back of the sofa, then sighed with a lowered look afterwards.
Mother Resty watched Arfen silently. The boy in front of him was holding something back, that was what Mother Resty was feeling right now.
"What's Arfen?" Mother Resty's question sounded soft. "... What brings you here?" Ask Mother Resty again.
Arfen. He sighed again and shook his head slowly.
"Don't lie to you! You know, there's gotta be something that brings you here?" Guess mother Resty.
"... And that's a big thing." Added mother Resty.
Arfen raised his gaze. Why is a mother always strong?
"Arfen really wants to come here, bun. Arfen hasn't been here in a long time, has he?" The real Arfen replied could not be said to be lying. Arfen has not come to visit for a long time, although in fact that is not the reason Arfen came this morning.
This time it was Mother Resty who sighed. He knew something was troubling Arfen's mind at the moment. Shortly thereafter, Mother Resty nodded in understanding. He knows now.
"What this has to do with ... The ira?" One question that managed to keep Arfen glued.
Yep. For some reason just by hearing the name Dira out of the mouth of Resty's mother, Arfen felt like he was now surrounded by thousands of bombs ready to blow himself up. Stiff and unable to move.
"Mother knows Dira?" Asked Arfen after successfully mastering himself.
Mother Resty was silent for a moment then nodded slowly. The reason Arfen came this morning was indeed because of his beautiful daughter-in-law.
Mother Resty looked at Arfen pity. Obviously, there is a sense of being buried in Arfen like what his son said. Arfen was even silent, as if waiting for the sentence that Resty's mother would say afterwards. Feeling unbearable, but Mother Resty thought Arfen should know the truth.
"He's my mother's son-in-law."
ALFIEUR!!!!
