Dandelions

39. Facts are exposed

Slowly the eyelid opened showing the young man's golden iris looking cute. He blinked his eyes adjust the light that entered the vision nyam his whole body felt weak at that time.

"Aware?" A sound entering his auditory senses made him slightly surprised.

However, the next second his eyes instantly rounded, his body stiffening instantly as a blade suddenly slid near him, barely scraping the young man's cheek.

His breathing was hunting, he was still trying to understand this situation. His heart rate is starting to beat fast. His hands and feet were tied to a chair that made it difficult for him to move.

He tried to remember what happened to him before he was there. The last thing he remembered was that he was walking towards school and suddenly some people pulled him into the car while silencing his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"You're lucky too. Rarely do I miss a throw. If you hadn't missed it, the knife would've stuck to your cheek." Said a man with a smile.

Ken's gaze was now fixed on a money man sitting on a sofa quite far from his. The darkened room and only the slight infiltration of light from the vents above the walls made it quite difficult to guess who the figure of the man was. But from the voice he heard, somehow he felt quite familiar with the man's voice.

"Who are you! What do you want huh?! Let go of me, damn it!" Ken cried out loudly, while trying to break away. In fact, he was hiding the fear in him. How not? Being kidnapped and almost stabbed by a knife is certainly not a fun thing.

"Gosh, you don't remember me at all? You seem to be really forgetful. " The man walked up to Ken while playing a knife in his hand.

A sneer formed on the face of the man who saw Ken's expression change. He brought the knife closer, making Ken close his eyes.

"Take me off!"

Spring...

Ken grimaced with the pain on his cheek that was scratched by the sharp object.

"unleash? Unfortunately, it's not time to let you go. I still want to see you and your family suffer even more."

"Honestly, I'm a little disappointed. Even though we have met. Well, no wonder you can remember our brief encounter, you were 5 years old. I'm also sure your father never told you anything."

Degs..

Ken's manic returns to patterning when he calls someone so familiar. One person who did not escape from the strands of prayer that he always neatly every time to sleep with the night. Hope to meet in the dreamland. Removing longs, even though they are pseudo-existent.

But, how did that man get to know his father? And what's the reason for doing all this?

For a moment the man returned indifferent to Ken's existence. The man took out a cigarette he took from his suit pocket complete with a lighter. He lit a fire that burned his cigarette, then his gaze was reverted to the figure of Ken who was still pensive in his mind.

"You grew up well without parents, huh?" It's a little stale. His view is now shifted to the sky of the room that looks some net profit there.

Ken clenched his hand load. He doesn't like it when someone brings up the problem.

"Who are you really?" Garang asked.

"You really don't remember me? I'm your father's co-worker."

Ken was silent, but his mind tried hard to remember the figure of the man he was sure he had also met long ago.

"If you're my father's friend, why are you doing this to me?" Ken's question was not thought out.

Right no? If that man was a friend of his father's, there's no way he'd keep him in this stuffy barn for no reason. "That friend was, long before your father ruined my life. I didn't take it when your dad reported me for ruining my business. He reported me when he found me embezzling company funds. My life has been over since then! And now, I'm going to make her whole family suffer. Including yourself." Her babble with a small laugh accompanied.

"It was also your own fault! "

"Let me tell you one interesting thing. Remember well my name until the end of your life, boy. My name is Mervin, the man who killed both your parents, and the man who will take you to them. But take it easy, you're not going alone. After your two brothers come, you can go together and gather in the afterlife like a whole family." He half whispered.

In that instant, the time seemed to stop, it felt like Ken wanted to laugh and thought it was just a drama.

Unfortunately, the harsh reality is what he accepted.

"You don't lie!" Ken refused to believe it.

The man laughed, "your reaction is like you think it's just drama, huh? Unfortunately, this is a reality you must accept. "

Ken silenced. He still wanted to dodge, but there was no way he could forget a knife that almost stuck in his head. If it was true what Mervin said, he would definitely not hesitate to finish his life right now.

"Hm, how can you believe it?" He puts on a thinking pose. "Ah I know, you want to know about your parents?"

"About my parents?" Ken's forehead wrinkled. His expression that was too innocent made Mervin grin with pleasure.

"Yes, about how death picked up your parents. You should have seen how when both your parents were roasted alive lived in the flames. Ah, what a beautiful sight... Listening to their screams of pain is like a soothing song." He said with a big smile.

Ken is holding back his emotions. His hands clenched firmly, but this time also endured the pain in his chest and the tears that began to pool in his eyelids.

"You mean the fire was you planning? You're really outrageous! Don't you have a heart!?" yell Ken emotion.

"By the way, how's it going with that blue guy? Is she still okay?" Ask Mervin suddenly. Eleven of his eyebrows shot up, implying another intent behind his words.

The blue one he was referring to was Typhoon, Ken's second brother after Hali. la had no idea what he had to do with the man, but he didn't really want to know.

"Don't switch the conversation!" Ken exclaimed without taking off his sharp gaze.

"Hey, don't be like that. You should thank the man who saved your brother. Although it also made him have pneumonia that's getting worse." His speech made Ken flinch confused. Again his expression invited a grin grin on Mervin's fierce face, as if to be his own entertainment.

"Yes, I made it that way."

"You mean..." Ken stuttered. Her lips were trembling no longer able to speak.

"It's a shame he survived. Even if it would not be very good if he also roasted in the fire. But good, her trauma of it also made her condition worse. I don't think I need to bother, but I'm also going to die."

Ken's speechless. There was no word he could say. So what he thought all this time about his second brother was wrong. During this time it seemed the same, the Typhoon also felt the same loss. Plus had to endure the pain due to his attitude all this time. Somehow Typhoon can still smile after all that.

But now he knows, that smile and joy are nothing but a mask and a mere escape from all the suffering that he himself harbors.

Forgetit. He was stupid because he never understood the Typhoon, too quick to assume and selfish. Maybe even his own brother doesn't know how about it.

Now everything makes sense when he knows the truth. He could not imagine how sick and wounded Typhoon had to bear the hatred for a mistake he did not make at all. And even he took part in incising the wounds.

If he could turn back the clock, it would feel like he changed and erased all his treatment all this time on his older brother.

Unknowingly tears dripped from her eyelids. The regret he felt, and how did he improve after this?
