DARREN'S HATRED

21. Recount

[DARREN GALERY OF ART]

Rehan and Darel are in Darren's Painting Gallery. Just like Willy, Qenan, Dylan, Axel and Jerry. Darel and Rehan help Darren to manage the Painting Gallery.

Initially Darren didn't have all that effort. More precisely, Darren did not want to bother to have all of that. Because then what Darren had in mind was college and family. He also comes from a wealthy and capable family. And an honorable family. If Darren needs money, he can ask his parents or six brothers.

Darren is a handsome young man. Although Darren is a man, but his face is also beautiful like a woman. When he saw her face it was so cute and adorable.

Darren is also a genius. Smart at everything. Darren has some talents that no one else has shown. These talents are painting, hackers, business, assembling cars, designing luxury cars.

His friends know all that. With persuasion, seduction and sweet words from his friends, Darren finally complied. According to and with one requirement given by Darren to his companions. And with pleasure and sincerity, his companions accepted these conditions.

After debating and fighting between them, Darren began to open one by one the efforts with the help of his friends.

Starting from the opening of Accenture Company. Darren has Willy and Qenan in charge. Second opening of BMW Shoowroom. Darren has Jerry, Axel and Dylan in charge. And the third is the Painting Gallery. Darren asks Rehan and Darel to manage it.

All three efforts were built by Darren with his friends after graduating from Junior High. They use the time off before SMA admission is opened. When establishing these three businesses. His family members did not know. Darren deliberately kept it a secret and there was no intention to tell his family members.

"Han," call Darel

"Hm." Rehan just cleared his throat.

"Have you received a message from Qenan and Willy?"

"Already" replied Rehan.

"Yes, already. Then we check one by one all the paintings. After that we just take it to the front hall for display. You ordered fifteen of your men to take the paintings to the front hall" Darel said.

"Alright" replied Rehan.

"We'll get to 11 noon. At the latest at 1 pm, we are already at the Campus," said Darel again.

"Yes, yeah, bring it." Rehan replied in a annoyed tone. Darel smiled at Rehan's reply.

"Oh yes, Han. I just remembered. Two more days there will be a painting auction. Have you chosen the four most beautiful paintings to bring to the Exhibition?"

"Gosh, Rail. I forgot," Rehan replied as he patted the eel.

"Well, how the hell are you. It's not your job, '" Darel upset.

"Heey. Why is she angry with me?" Rehan stared at Darel's horror. So did Darel. There was a war of glances between the two.

After five minutes give each other a look of horror. Eventually, Rehan gave up.

"Well! I'll call that rabbit demon. Hopefully the item remembers and has prepared the two paintings."

"Yes, already. Call that rabbit demon now" Rehan said.

"Yeah! Why are you being such a bitch today, Rel!" Rehan said annoyed, but still obeyed Darel's words.

[THE SMITH FAMILY RESIDENCE]

Gilang, Darka and the rest of the family were already in the living room, except for Darren.

"Disappear, Darka. If Mama could know. What's Darren gonna talk to you guys, baby?"

"The problem is our campus charity, Ma! Social Service! In every four months Campus we always hold Social Service activities. Sometimes the activity is carried out on the campus grounds and sometimes also held outside the city" replied Gilang.

Erland, Agneta and the rest of the family smiled happily at Jimin's words. While Darka just silently heard Gilang's explanation about the activities of the campus.

Again, they smiled happily. Even their smile this time was a smile of pride for Darren. Especially Erland. He knew nothing of his youngest son from his first wife Belva. He was too busy thinking about his work problems to forget his son. All this time he did not know what had been passed by his youngest son. If it wasn't her sister-in-law Evan who told her everything. He was truly sinful and felt regret in him for his attitude so far that made his son misunderstand and lead to hatred.

When they were all thinking about Darren. They were surprised by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

VAM!!

VAM!!

VAM!!

They all looked towards Darren. Everyone smiled looking at her handsome face and also the neat clothes wrapped her slender and stocky body.

Darren stepped towards the central room. After being there, Darren directly sat his ass on the sofa. It could be seen by him, Darka and Gilang had already prepared all the materials on the table.

"Ren," call Carissa.

Darreb looked at his aunt. "Yes. What's up?" replied Darren who was still upset about the Aunt.

"I'm sorry, Auntie, yeah baby. Aunt was not on purpose."

"Yes. I'm not really angry with Auntie. I'm just pissed off."

"Thank you, baby."

"Hm."

"Yes, already. I'm just straight away. For our departure out of town four more days are canceled!" exclamation Darren.

Gilang and Darka who heard the words from Darren were shocked. The two of them exchanged lyrics, then looked back at Darren for an explanation.

"Why, Ren?" ask Gilang.

"Did something happen?" ask Darka.

"Yes" Darren replied briefly.

"Tell us, Ren what happened? Don't keep anything from us" pleaded Darka.

"I don't know for sure. This is true or just my guess," Darren said.

"What is Ren?" ask Gilang.

"The incident when Adrian and Mathew were slandered on charges of money theft. The stabbing of Darka and Melvin. And the attack on Axel's house. The culprit is the same person. And that person will do it again" Darren replied.

Those who heard the words from Darren were completely shocked. They did not think that the man would do that. They all thought, what was the reason that person did all that.

"Darren, baby." Erland called her son gently.

Darren lazily looked towards the father. "What's wrong?" ask Darren ketus.

"Papa want to tell you something, son?"

"What's that?" ask Darren.

"Looky baby. When Darren was in school, Papa was rarely home. Never even went home. If Papa comes home. That too Papa just took clean clothes. After that, Papa left again."

Darren suddenly recalled his father's attitude all along. His father was rarely at home. His father was busy with his work. Even his father always spent time between work and his five younger siblings. Yahh! That's what he remembered.

Suddenly his face turned sad. Both of his eyes were already glazed. The family members who saw it also felt pain in their hearts. They recalled the incident six months ago where they had a wound in Darren's heart.
