DARREN'S HATRED

Talk About Rolando Santa

At the Smith house, Agneta is preparing breakfast for her husband and sons. And Carissa too. Both were busy in the kitchen.

Dzaky, Adnan with his father and five younger siblings and Uncle and his three cousins are in the living room.

Davin, Andra, Gilang and Darka are at Darren's house. The two decide to stay at Darren's house for three more days before returning home. While Gilang and Darka remain at Darren's house to guard and accompany Darren.

Erland looked at her seven sons, her brother-in-law and her three nephews with a difficult to interpret gaze. His eyes looked occasionally for something that had not been seen since.

Since leaving the hospital, Erland has been quieter. He will speak if his family members invite him to speak. Even Erland often spends his time in the office and in the workspace in his home.

"Father," call Ivan who sees his dreamy father.

Ivan called his father. Dzaky, Adnan, Adrian, Mathew, Nathan, Melvin, Evan, Daffa, Tristan and Davian looked straight at Erland.

"Papa why? Is Papa sick?" asked Dzaky who had moved to sit next to his father.

"Papa felt that something was missing in Papa's life. But Papa doesn't know" Erland replied.

Hearing the answer from his father made Dzaky sad. So too with the others.

"That's right, Papa! Something is missing in my life. The one who gave the color in Papa's life doesn't live in this house anymore. Papa's made that man not want to live in this house anymore. That man is Papa's favorite son. That man is Darrendra Smith."

Dzaky spoke in his heart as his eyes stared at his father's sad face.

"The one missing in Papa's life is Darren. Papa forgets Darren so that makes Darren reluctant to stay with us, "the inner Adnan who also looks at his father's sad face.

The test!

Instantly Erland's tears fell down his face as his mind and heart thought of something, yet he could not remember it at all.

"Father!"

"Uncle!"

"Sister Erland!"

Dzaky immediately hugged his father's body. His heart was really sick when he saw his father's current condition.

"If Papa can't remember. Don't force. I don't want Papa to get sick" said Dzaky.

Darren and his four brothers had already gathered at the dining table. They will have breakfast together.

When his four sisters enjoyed breakfast the next morning. Different from Darren. He was not at all excited to enjoy his breakfast this morning. He was just stirring up his breakfast.

Seeing the spiritless Darren and seeing Darren who was just stirring his breakfast, Darka who had noticed his sister immediately rebuked him.

"Darren, why? Is the breakfast menu bad? Or do you want Darka's sister to make you your favorite chicken soup, hum?"

Hearing the words and questions from Darka made Davin, Andra and Gilang immediately stop the breakfast. They stared at Darren who had not eaten his breakfast at all.

"Rin! Why sweetheart?" ask Davin.

Darren looked at his elder brother's face, then turned to look at Andra, Gilang and Darka.

"Papa. I miss Papa" said Darren in a soft voice.

Davin, Andra, Gilang and Darka looked at Darren with their sorrowful gazes.

"You coming home, hum?" asked Andra with a gentle look.

Darren shook his head. He was not ready to meet his father. Especially when his father doesn't remember him at all.

Seeing the rejection from Darren made Davin, Andra, Gilang and Darka understand. And they didn't force Darren to go back to the Smiths.

"Yes, already! Now finish the breakfast. There's nothing left. Brother does not want you back to fall ill," said Gilang.

"All right," Darren replied.

Looking at Darren who had put some of his food into his mouth made Davin, Andra Gilang and Darka smile.

On the seventh campus his best friend had arrived since twenty minutes ago. They are currently sitting on the spacious campus courtyard. They were there to await the arrival of his best friend Darrendra Smith.

"Are you sure Darren went to college today, Xel?" ask Rehan.

"Yes. My mother told me that herself. Darren wants to go to college, but Davin's brother forbids him. And you all know what's gonna happen next?"

Hearing Axel's answers and questions made Qenan, Willy, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel nod their heads.

"Continue?" ask Dylan.

"Sister Davin called Mama and explained everything to Mama. And in the end Mama gave Darren a lecture" Axel said.

"And I'm sure at this time Darren must be upset because he went to college one car with Gilang's brother and Darka's brother" said Darel.

"certainly so. They already know how to make Darren submit to them" said Qenan.

"Hm." Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel muttered simultaneously.

When they were gossiping about his rabbit friend, they were suddenly startled by the voice of the gossip victim.

"To the campus to study. Not to gossip!"

Heard the call from Darren. Qenan, Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel instantly looked to the source of the sound. And they could see Darren with his two brothers moving their feet towards him.

Darren paused for a moment in front of his seven best friends, then stared with horror at them.

"Morning is gossiping. Fuck up!"

After saying that, Darren immediately left his seven best friends and two brothers to go to class.

Seeing Darren's departure just like that made them all just smile, sigh and shake their heads.

After that, they all decided to go to her class. Same with Gilang and Darka.

^^^

Darren and his seven best friends are already in his class. Now Qenan, Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel are asking about Rolando Santa. They also asked what would be done to fight the man.

"What's our next plan, Ren? We can't sit around like this without doing anything" Jerry said.

"Jerry's right, Ren! We must immediately think of a plan to fight against Rolando Santa. Like you said two days ago when that bastard called you. He has already started his game. His first target was Uncle Erland" Willy said.

Darren stared one by one at the faces of his seven best friends. Implied worry and also fear in the look of his eyes.

"You don't have to worry. Right now I'm thinking about something" Darren said.

"What?!" ask Qenan, Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel together.

"I'm looking for Rolando Santa's weakness. Everyone has weaknesses, right?! So I'm gonna go find that bastard's weakness. And for you, don't do anything first."

"Well," replied Qenan, Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel together.

"Are we not discussing this matter with our mafia brothers?" ask Dylan.

"We're going to take care of this with our mafia brothers. And I'm sure our mafia brothers have planned ahead of time" Darren said.

"You're right, Ren! Before you get the call from Rolando Santa. Our five mafia brothers have already discussed this matter. They are also suspicious of Rolando Santa" Qenan said.

"Good then. We just wait for news from our mafia brothers," said Darren.

"Well," replied Qenan, Willy, Axel, Dylan, Jerry, Rehan and Darel together.
