CHAPTER 74

Arthur, panicking at Alex's condition, is shocked by the arrival of a servant.

" This sir Mr. Khalid called. He said he wanted to talk about something important" the waiter said, handing over the cordless phone to Arthur.

" Hello. Khalid, what important business do you want to talk to me about ?"

" It's about Alex. Where are you now ?"

" In Alex's room. Looks like Alex is sick."

" Me and Aurora will be there now !" Khalid ended his talk.

\* \* \* \* \* \* \*

" Mister, doctor Lee has come !" Said the Chief Servant who came with the doctor.

" Lee, check on Alex !" Arthur who had been panicking since then now felt helped by the arrival of his doctor.

" Here let me check first." Lee also checked on Alex.

" Alex's pulse was too fast and his sweat kept coming out. Why did this happen ?"

" I don't know what - what ? Because Alex's situation is like this ?"

" It's best that Alex be treated in the hospital,"

" What's the pain of Alex badly ?" There was fear on Arthur's face.

" Alex....!" Aurora screamed as she entered Alex's room.

" Why is this so ?!" Aurora asked with her high tone.

" Explain to me Arthur. Why is Alex this how she is ?" Aurora asked with a look of guts.

" Sorry Aurora, I don't know either. I just got back from Europe." Answer Arthur.

" Oh. Irene must know why Alex could be like this ?" Now Aurora looked at Irene more intently.

" I don't know what either. I've been downstairs waiting for Arthur." Kill Irene.

" Hey..." Alex moved his body.

" Alex ?" Aurora sat on the side of the bed.

" Sorry Irene.... Ii'm sorry.... I promise I won't complain to Daddy !!!" Alex screamed under his consciousness.

Everyone there was shocked by Alex's screams. And now everything turned its attention to Irene.

" What does Irene mean ?" Arthur stared intently at Irene for an explanation.

" I don't know, Arthur. Yesterday I just punished him a little bit for being too naughty."

" What has Alex done ?" Tanya Aurora growled.

" Running around inside the house carrying a bowl of ice cream. Though it's been told but Alex doesn't rub it." Irene replied lying.

Alex is awake. And Irene stood near him. Alex was only focused on Irene so she was not aware of the other existences.

" irene's.... Ii'm sorry.... Keep the caterpillars away from me. I promise I'll shut up and not tell Daddy anything !" Alex sat on his bed, clenching his hands on his head.

Hearing that everything there was so angry. Because they all know that Alex has a phobia of caterpillars.

Fatih and Willi, who had been standing at the end of the bed, approached Alex. Because they know Alex is freaking out.

" Alex...." Call the two kids.

Alex, feeling the sound of Fatih and Willi, turned his eyes, to the source of the voice.

" You guys don't play here !"

" Hurry home !!!"

" You'll be punished with Irene later, if you get caught playing with me."

Alex encouraged his two brothers, as they stood beside him. Aurora immediately hugged Alex, and cried roaring - roaring to see the state of her favorite cousin.

" Aunty, Alex is scared...." Alex said back to Aurora's embrace tightly.

Arthur checks Irene's arm and drags her out of Alex's room. In Alex's room only lived Aurora, Doctor Lee, and the two boys who had been following along crying with Aurora.

" I'd better give Alex some intravenous fluids." Doctor Lee said.

Because Alex won't let go of his embrace of Aurora. Alex was in the infusion while sitting on Aurora's lap.

\* \* \* \* \* \* \*

On the lower floors all the workers of the mansion, either servants or guards were gathered in the living room. Arthur and Khalid hold them all accountable for what happened to Alex.

" Irene explained the meaning of the caterpillar - the caterpillar that was said by Alex !" Said Arthur.

" It was in the back garden of many caterpillars. And I didn't know Alex was afraid of caterpillars. Usually, children like caterpillars. When I showed the caterpillar, Alex was terrified." Irene answered by lying.

" What is this !!! Why is everyone gathered here ?" Great Lord Andersson came in and added tension there.

" Daddy what's coming here ?" Arthur asked the middle-aged man.

" I want to ask Irene something. Why does he always lie to Aurora that Alex is away with me, when Aurora wants to ask him to play." Said the Great Lord.

" Yes, that's what Aurora wants to talk to you about, Arthur."

" Every time Aurora would pick up Alex and ask him to play. Irene said that Alex was leaving with her Grandpa. Out of annoyance, Aurora comes to Andersson's mansion. And going to pick up Alex, it turns out Grandpa never brought Alex. Means Irene's been lying." Khalid told that became the rage of his wife these few days.

PLAAAK, PLAAAK,

PLAAAK, PLAAAK,

The enraged Great Lord Andersson instantly slapped both of Irene's cheeks.

" How dare you lie under my name."

" Arthur see what I found in Irene's room!" Lee said down the stairs and brought a box.

" Look at !" Lee opened the covering cloth and saw many caterpillars inside.

" Irene what is the meaning of all this !" Ask Arthur.

Lee told her what Alex had told her. Punishment - the punishment Irene always gives, if Alex does something wrong. Starting from the pinch, punch, lash, and put a lot of caterpillars in his shirt. Which made Alex faint.

Lee also told Alex's pain was due to excessive fear.

Irene who was already unable to dodge anymore finally spoke honestly.

" It's all because you're Arthur !"

" If you give me your love and attention. Then I will love Alex too !" his yell.

" Don't you already know that my love is only for Anatasya. And from the beginning I told you." Said Arthur.

" But I'm a normal woman, who needs inner satisfaction. As long as we're married, we haven't made love yet." Irene let out her heart.

Hearing Irene's words everyone who was there was silent and looked towards Arthur. Arthur also did not expect that his lack of attention to Irene, making the woman become evil to Alex. Actually Arthur's desire to make love seems to die with the death of Anatasya. She doesn't act when she sees a sexy woman or when she sees her co-workers making love. And when I saw Irene wearing lingerie she was not aroused. At first Arthur thought he was sapping. Moreover, his marriage to Irene could still be counted with fingers.

Great Lord Andersson, retrial everyone there. And it was decided to imprison Irene. Although he actually wanted to punish Irene heavily first. But because Arthur was the beginning of it all, Irene was immediately reported to the police. And Irene was severely punished for her crimes.

Aurora also gets custody of Alex. Great Lord Andersson and Arthur entrust Alex to the care of Khalid and Aurora. Because of Anatasya's desire, Alex became a child like Fatih. Who has a good and intelligent personality.

Aurora takes Alex to Indonesia with her. It turns out that Willi who had been used to Aurora's care for one year also wanted to come with them. Aurora re-raised three boys.

\* \* \* \* \* \* \*

Aurora ends Alex's story with Irene, her abusive stepmother. And Cantika sobbed - listening to Alex's story as a child.

" How can there be an adult woman so cruel to a child, because of the lack of attention from her husband." Cantika said in her tears.

" Yes could have been. Because everyone is different."

" Thank God Alex was able to be a cheerful child again growing up here."

" He's also a smart, ignorant kid. He has many friends too, because of his open personality and love to help others." Aurora.

" And for Sylvia...."

" No, Mah. I don't need to hear her story !" Decline Cantika.
