It Turns out I'm the Second

Ch.56 Knocking on the sky door

Without hesitation, Gathan stepped into the house painted in ivory white shades. The servant inside the house widened his eyes at the sight of Gathan and he wanted to run to the back garden immediately to inform him of Gathan's arrival, but Gathan first stopped his steps while staring intently made the servant stiffen.

Gathan can read what situation he will be in at the moment. And as he expected, in front of his eyes, he saw Reza standing while talking to Freya in the back garden.

Prok prok ...

Gathan clapped his hands with a cynical smile looking at the two people who were now tense and paled when he saw Gathan caught them chatting casually in the back garden.

"Great. Really great." she sibirnya with one corner of her lips rose to the top.

Brukkka ...

Suddenly Reza fell to the floor. He feigned difficulty standing back up making Gathan smile mockingly. Aware of Reza's intentions, Freya immediately crouched down trying to help Reza to stand up.

"Mas, help papa! Freya was helping papa with walking. Papa this week has been able to stand but not strong for the road." lie Freya smoothly like a toll road.

"Oh ... is walking practice. Papa's feet are healthy! Actually the deformed one .. foot or mental one?" cibir Gathan sat his butt in one of the garden chairs. His right leg is folded over his left leg with his right hand propped up over the handle of the chair while squeezing his chin.

The eyes of Freya and Reza glared sharply upon hearing the sneer.

'Did Gathan know about our lies?' freya muttered with a stiff stiffened body.

"Mas ... What the fuck are you? You think we cheated you? Isn't your assistant always sending you a report on your routine checkup?" hiss Freya with a reddened face. Not reddened by anger but instead, he is now feeling thin, afraid their lies have been revealed. "You're outrageous, mas!" added again.

Freya helped Reza by breaking him up and sitting him in a chair near Gathan.

"Here ... already, maybe Gathan's son misunderstood because he saw papa standing earlier." said Reza with his pale face.

"But pa ... "

"Have .. "attack Reza again in a high voice.

Gathan chuckled cynically at the charade the father and son were playing. It turned out that the two of them were so compatible, the son and foster father were both con men.

"Had been caught off guard but still tried to act." she sneered cynically as she shook her head. "You think I'm that stupid for you guys to cheat, hm? Just 1 year you tricked me raw, but not for next time. Stop boasting and making jokes because I already know all your rottenness." sighed Gathan with a flash of anger in his eyes.

"What do you mean, mas?"

"What do you mean, son?"

Exclaimed Freya and Reza along with choking breath.

"Do I need to go through the law to prove that you've been deceiving me all this time? Already manipulating accidents? Exorcise me for reasons of treatment? Trapped me in the marriage?" gathan said coldly. "Or do I really need to maim Reza's honorable leg so you can admit your lies?" his his hiss again with a terrible grin made Freya and Reza shudder in horror.

"Mas .. we ... we ... " Freya was confused as to what to say. Looks like he's dead lice and can't give up. But if he admitted his mistake, he was sure Gathan would soon divorce him. He would not be separated from Gathan. He does not want to live hard. Moreover, his status is only the wife of Siri, if she is divorced

"Son, Gathan, please forgive us son, forgive papa and Freya."

"Ma ... " Surprisingly Freya. He didn't want to until his father revealed everything.

"Stop Fre, it's time for Papa to be honest. Hopefully this will save your marriage." cut Reza.

"Son Gathan, forgive papa, Papa has to do this, because actually Freya has liked you for a long time. So papa purposely did this so you could be her husband. You didn't love her then but I thought that with the change of time, you would slowly fall in love with her. Freya really loves you, son of Gathan. So please forgive us." said Reza with a clear face. Hearing Reza say that, Freya immediately put on a face of compassion.

Gathan grumbled when he heard the booze coming out of the mouths of the two men. He wanted to put the two men in jail, but he did not have solid evidence. Tio's story this morning was indeed recorded, but it could not be evidence for the deception of Reza and Freya.

Lazy to respond to the two men's boast, Gathan immediately stood up and set his feet about to go from the rogue's nest. He should get that evidence right away. He had asked someone for help to investigate everything.

Seeing the departure of Gathan, Reza and Freya growled furiously.

"You are, how to conquer a man is not a becus." sissed Reza annoyed at the sight of Gathan does not seem to have the slightest taste in Freya.

"I've tried, pa, but it's very difficult for Gathan to be conquered. Freya had even tried papa's advice on using drugs perangs@ng but Gathan's mas control was very strong. He even had time to threaten Freya in the midst of her unconsciousness." said Freya did not accept underestimated Reza.

"Stupid! You see for yourself, it looks like he already knows everything but since there's no evidence he can't do much. We have to do something before he suddenly divorces you. At this time he can't because he is still bound by the agreement, but when he starts to get caught off guard, he could suddenly say talaq to you.

As per Reza's estimation, indeed Gathan has prepared to stop Freya. But he wanted to do it all at once. After finding evidence of the two men's fraud, at that time he will divorce Freya.

...***...

As is his habit lately, before going to bed, Gathan will have a little chat with Nanda about his daily activities, especially those that escape from Nanda's view such as when working or more often called pillow talk.

Gathan also told what happened in his study including about Tio's honesty with him.

Nanda was shocked when she heard it. He was also pityed by what happened to Tio at this time.

"Mas, Nanda knows mas angry with Tio's actions, but do not you feel sorry for his foster children in the orphanage ? Mas, Nanda also grew up and grew up in the orphanage, mas, so Nanda knew how confused Tio was at this time. Can't you give Tio a chance to get back to work or at least give him another job at the company?" nanda's suggestion made Gathan a little stunned and thought of a way out.

"Well, will be considered. It looks like I will be rolling the post to another position as you suggested." Gathan agreed to Nanda's advice, which Nanda replied with a warm smile because his advice was accepted.

"Where's Doni, bik?" radika asked as she entered her parents' house.

"So the auntie came into the room of non Nanda, sir." said the art.

Radika sighed heavily, this is how her brother's last 11 years, slept in Nanda's room to treat her longing all along.

tok tok ...

There was a knock outside the door, Doni immediately invited the knocker to enter.

Radika looked at her brother's pity who looked pensive looking at the photo of the boy who was wearing an SD uniform. The boy's smile looked so bright and carefree. Radika still remembers the photo, the photo she took when the boy just entered SD class 1. At Doni's request, he washed the photo in a size large enough to stick it on the wall of Nanda's room. Right across the bed where little Nanda slept.

"Sister, sister can not keep gini" said Radika.

"So what should brother be? Until now Brother has not been able to hint the existence of Nanda at all. She misses him, Ka. I miss Nuri too. Where exactly are the two of them? Confused to find where else. Nanda has been missing for 11 years and Nuri has been gone for a dozen years. Brother confused, Ka." breathed Doni frustrated. Even now he shed his tears feeling sorry for hurting the hearts of the two women.

"Sister must be strong. Brother must be healthy. Dika believes, sooner or later, they will all return and sister's life will become more beautiful and colorful. My brother must continue to pray. If humans can't help, knock on the sky door through a third of the night, hopefully you'll soon get a clue to find them both." concluded Radika slowly before coming out of the room Nanda who was occupied by Doni to release his longing.
