Audrey and her parents had just arrived at the mansion. Eldric's phone rang.
" Honey, Daddy answer the call first. You guys just go in."
" Who is dad ... ? " ask mommy.
" Erland ..". Daddy answered briefly while looking at me.
Audrey was curious as soon as she heard Erland's name mentioned. He wanted to know what was behind the name. But to ask, he still refused.
" Oh .. greetings from mommy. You don't nitip greetings too, dear ... ? " said mommy teasing me.
Audrey was just being indifferent to mommy's talk.
" mom ... Audrey take a break. We'll have another chat later." said Audrey as soon as she was in the living room.
" Yes, baby .. mommy's going to the room, too." replied mommy.
" mom ... I love you." said Audrey as she entered the elevator in her mansion.
" Love you too, my baby ... muach muach." reply mommy smile.
Audrey also smiled at her mommy's words. He immediately laid himself on the bed as soon as he entered the room. His body and mind were really tired at this moment.
Audrey wanted to argue about the match, but her little heart said that everything her parents did was the best thing for her.
It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
Mommy was crying alone in the room. He actually could not bear to see the face of Audrey who had looked sad. But the problems that his family is experiencing make Elif and Eldric must tell Audrey immediately.
" Mom .. don't cry. We have to be strong for Audrey's sake" said Daddy, who had just walked into the room.
" Dad ... What if the thing we're afraid of happens ? " ask mommy getting sad.
" Don't think badly, mom. We'll be back with Audrey soon." Eldric hugged his wife.
" What if we can't go back ? What will happen to Audrey ? " Isak Elif's.
" Can't talk like that, honey. Even if we can't go back, I'm sure Audrey will be fine. There's Erland and Kevin guarding her." Eldric tried to comfort his wife even though his heart was also sad.
" Dad ..do we have to tell Audrey" Elif said.
Eldric was silent at the words of his wife.
" Would Audrey really know what really happened ? " ask Eldric inwardly.
" Yes, right said Elif, we should tell Audrey later." he continued in his heart.
" Alright, honey ..you're right. It's best we tell Audrey what's going on" replied Eldric agreeing.
Elif hugged her husband with affection. While Eldric kissed Elif's forehead to calm his heart.
" Well, now we should take a break, then when Audrey wakes up Daddy will tell her."
" Yes, honey. Mommy's gonna have to get Mommy to tell us if Audrey's up."
Mommy calls bik Imah immediately with her phone. After finishing giving a message to tell Audrey to go to their room after waking up later.
After that they both slept while hugging affectionately.
After resting for two hours, Audrey woke up. His body felt comfortable and the fatigue had lessened.
He went to the bathroom to clean himself up. It didn't take long, he immediately came out to wear clothes. After the bath, his body felt very fresh.
Audrey read for a while her script for tomorrow's trial.
Once it felt enough, Audrey stepped out of the room and headed to the first floor.
Audrey doesn't see the whereabouts of her mommy and daddy.
" Maybe they are also at rest" he said inwardly.
" Miss is awake ? " tanya bik Imah hurriedly approached as soon as she saw Audrey.
" Yes bik ... Mom n' Dad's sleeping, huh ? " ask Audrey after answering Bik's question.
" It seems like it's non ... But the Madam said that non Audrey had woken up to the mistress and master's room." clearly bik Imah polite.
" Oh, okay ... Oya, please tell Ani to make hot milk for me, yes .." said Audrey.
" Good .. Would you like a snack too, non ? " tanya bik Imah.
" May bik .. all make for mommy n' Daddy also yes bik. "pinta Audrey polite.
" Well, non Audrey .. " replied Bik Imah and prepared to go to the kitchen.
" Eh, bik ... Where are the others ? " asked Audrey because she didn't see any servants working.
" Ordinary, non .. this hour at a gathering in the back room. Because they know that at this hour sir, mistress and miss on the break they are busy watching Drakor.
" Oh .. hahaha. Yes already so, bik .. I want to go to mommy's room first." replied Audrey laughing.
" Please non ... "
Audrey walked to her parents' room. He still wanted to ask about his match with Erland.
" Mom, dad .. "call her quietly while knocking on the door.
Elif and Eldric who had been awake since earlier and were sitting on the sofa immediately opened the room door for Audrey.
" Mommy's child is indeed very beautiful .. "said Elif saw her son who looked fresh after finishing resting.
" Hee .. mommy is prettier. Yes, dad .. " said Audrey blushing her lips.
" Daddy's love, two - both very beautiful." said Eldric smiling.
" Here sit baby to be more comfortable talking." invite Elif.
Audrey sat down next to Mommy Elif. Then he hugged mommy.
" Mom .. who we obrolin this afternoon is not right ? " tanyanya.
Elif looked at her husband, with her gaze asking him to explain everything to Audrey immediately.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Audrey then opened the door for Imah who wanted to deliver her order earlier
" Here, bik .. Let me just take her inside" said Audrey.
" Well, non .. Then excuse me" said bik Imah politely.
" Mom, dad... drink first yuk." said Audrey while putting drinks for her parents at the table.
" Thank you baby .." said Elif then drank hot milk, as well as Eldric.
After drinking hot milk and eating a snack, Audrey again asked about it.
" Dad, mom ... What about Audrey's question ? What the hell was Daddy talking about Ama Audrey this afternoon ? " ask Audrey.
" sammy ... Everything we talked about this afternoon was true. You and Erland have been betrothed. It's a decision we've made." replied Daddy Eldric in a stern tone.
" Okay ... Can Audrey know the reason why Audrey should marry Erland next year ? " he wanted to know.
" Daddy told you why. Only Erland deserves to be with you."
" What if in a year's time, Audrey knew a man and fell in love with him. While with Erland, Audrey has absolutely no feelings ? " tanyanya long.
" Sorry, honey ... That can't happen. Because Daddy's not sure about all the guys out there."
" Why, dad ... ? "
" Daddy is worried that they're not really sincere with you and one more thing Daddy is afraid that they just want to master everything that Daddy has left for you."
" Why should Daddy be worried ?
There will be Daddy and Kevin, they won't dare like Audrey."
Eldric let out his breath heavily. This is what he has been afraid of all this time.
Audrey is a smart and independent child in every way.
But still as a daughter and always get excessive attention and affection from the two parents and his adoptive brother Kevin sometimes still out his volatile nature. Audrey is still very young.
Moreover, the current situation was extremely dangerous. Many enemies wanted the death of Eldric.
It was because of this that Eldric was very worried about her and immediately agreed to Erland's request to marry Audrey.
Eldric immediately came out of his mind. Elif again - again gave the code through his eyes to Eldric to immediately tell the reason for their concern to Audrey.
It was so hard that Eldric finally decided to tell Audrey.
" Honey .. actually there is something more important that Daddy wants to talk to you about" Eldric said, looking into Audrey's eyes.
" What else matters, dad ... ? Don't scare Audrey .. " said Audrey confused.
Elif clasped Eldric's hand to add strength to it in order to immediately reveal a secret they had kept for many years.
" Well, Daddy will tell you everything, but Daddy asks you not to worry, let alone be afraid after listening to Daddy's story. Can you promise Daddy ?" eldric.
Hearing this, Audrey was shocked. Why his heart suddenly felt afraid to hear his Daddy talk.
But not wanting to make mommy and daddy worry, Audrey tried to cover up her feelings.
" Okay dad ... Audrey promised. "the answer was convincing.
Audrey's parents immediately hugged her. Mommy Elif kissed Audrey's face with a sad look. Actually these few months Elif and Eldric had a bad premonition.
" Daddy's surname isn't actually Cartwrigh. "
Audrey laughed as soon as she heard the words of her daddy who she thought was joking.
" Hear Daddy, honey .. and Daddy hope while Daddy tells you this you don't cut the conversation off one bit. Ok .. " said Eldric.
" Okay, dad .." replied Audrey.
" Daddy's real full name is Eldric William, not Eldric Cartwrigh as you and others know." Eldric said.
Audrey's forehead wrinkled to hear her. But try to keep calmly listening until finished what will be said by his daddy.
" When Daddy was ten years old, Daddy was kidnapped and about to be killed by the enemies of Daddy's family." Eldric tried to see the change in the look on his son's face.
Audrey who heard it went wide in shock. But again - again he cleverly covered it. He was sorry to see Daddy Eldric who was a child at that time had experienced such a terrible thing. He couldn't resist the urge to ask.
" Daddy was rescued by a Turkish businessman who was on holiday with his family. That businessman is your grandfather, Daddy, from mommy. Since then, Daddy has been living in Turkey with mommy's family."
" To avoid the killer from looking for Daddy again, your grandfather changed Daddy's surname to the one we use today. And told everyone who asked him that Daddy was his friend's dead son."
" Dad .. "Audrey can't hold back her curiosity.
" Yes, honey .. what do you want to ask Daddy" Daddy said as he understood my thoughts.
While mommy gently stroked Daddy's back.
" Who wants to kill Daddy ? Did they also kill Gema and Gepa ... ?" I just mentioned the call to grandpa and granny, Daddy's parents.
" Yes, honey .. those who killed Daddy's parents" replies Eldric, who looks to start glazing.
" Who are they, dad ... ? ".
" They're Gepamu's half-brothers. Son of Daddy's second wife. They do not accept that Gepamu inherited almost all the wealth from his parents. So they planned the murder to kill Gepa, Gema and Daddy."
" Where are they now, dad ? why didn't Daddy report it to the police."
" They're all in England. Since the death of Daddy's parents and assuming Daddy has also died from the abduction, they have taken possession of all the relics.
When Daddy grew up to finally get married to mommy, Daddy kept quiet - silently trying to gather evidence of the crimes they had committed."
" Is the evidence enough, dad ... ? ".
" Already, honey .. but looking for evidence of it, they seem to have found out that Daddy is alive and already has a family."
" How do they know about Daddy. Has Daddy changed his family name ? "
" That's what Daddy still wants to investigate. Looks like someone's been betraying Daddy all this time."
" So that's why tomorrow Daddy n' mommy goes longer than usual ? "
" Yes .. and Daddy hope that as we go, you will be more careful when you meet someone new to you" Daddy reminded Audrey.
" Daddy don't worry about it. Audrey will be very careful." said Audrey sure.
" Good honey ... Daddy has moved some of Daddy's company here under your middle name "Kimberly". Because no one knows your middle name. That's why Daddy always prohibits you from mentioning it either in public or in your campus environment" Eldric said.
" There are only two here who still use the name Audrey, while the company in the UK is in your name and the company on behalf of Daddy so Kevin still runs it. Because no one knows Kevin's connected to us." Eldric continued his words.
" Dad, Audrey's kog is scared to hear it. The effect is kog like a will. " said Audrey lirih.
Hearing Audrey's words, Eldric and Elif looked at each other. Then quickly the two of them covered the worry in their hearts.
" It's natural dong, baby .. if we leave assets for you. Just you and Kevin our son."
" Mommy has also changed the name of the mommy boutique as Daddy did and mommy also left two in the name of Audrey. We do this so that no one suspects that the name of another asset has changed to Kimberly's.
Audrey frowned and thought hard. He tried to digest every word his parents said.
As if - there will be something very urgent until they make a detailed plan.
Seeing Audrey frowning, Elif understood that her son was thinking about this.
" Don't be confused, baby .. This has been a long time we have prepared. We do not want if something bad happens later, we will regret not preparing everything for you" Elif said softly.
" Mom, dad... Anything you haven't told Audrey ?" tanyanya.
Hearing this, the two were immediately shocked. Audrey is really smart. He suspects something.
They finally decided to tell him what was going to happen.
" All right, Daddy hope you're ready if daddy says something bad that could happen" Eldric said in a heavy tone.
" Yes, don't worry ... Audrey's ready, dad." she said sure.
" A few years ago someone tried to kill Daddy. Even the last one they tried again on Daddy and mommy a week ago" Eldric said furiously.
Audrey, who did not expect that something this bad had happened to her parents, was really shocked and scared. He did not expect them to hide such a terrible thing from him.
Audrey really can't say anything right now. Turns out what Daddy said was true, he wasn't ready to hear it. His body suddenly drowned.
" Don't be afraid, baby... Whatever happens, you must remain our strong, brave and smart daughter." Elif said.
" Right honey .. You must not be weak let alone give up. You're Daddy's toughest daughter. You can face any kind of problem." Eldric added.
Audrey could not hold back her tears that came out. He was afraid of losing both his parents.
" Mom, dad .. Anyway Audrey don't want to know tomorrow you guys don't go. If you keep going, Audrey won't be in court, so Audrey won't finish college." she cried
Eldric and Elif were shocked to hear the threat Audrey was saying. They understood Audrey's reaction would be like this out of fear of losing it to her parents.
" Well, honey .. we'll postpone our departure tomorrow. But the day after tomorrow we have to leave, because there are still many things that we have to finish.
Don't be like this anymore yeah .. You have to think about your future." said Eldric persuaded Audrey who continued to cry.
" Now, don't cry ... Kimberly William, mommy's son will not be beautiful anymore." Elif accidentally teases Audrey.
" Mommy ... " Audrey hugged Elif's body tightly.
" Daddy not in the hug ... ? " said Eldric sadly
" Here dad ..let us hug all day. Anyway Audrey wants to sleep with you today.
Audrey didn't want to be far away from mommy n' Daddy" said Audrey, hugging her daddy too
" Yes .. Yeah .. okay honey. Today we sleep three as we used to." said Daddy and mommy at the same time kissing Audrey's cheek.
Audrey is starting to look happy to hear her parents are not leaving tomorrow. Especially after a long time they can go back to sleep three more. For a moment he could breathe.
" Baby. go to your room first, change clothes and pray to be calmer. Mommy also wants to take a shower .. so hot."
" Yes, mom ... Audrey's gonna take another shower. But mommy's room door can't be locked, let's be easy."
" Yes, go to prayer first. Read your script again .. "send Elif.
" Yes ., but promise me the door is not locked."
" Yes .. if you have finished preparing everything for your thesis hearing for tomorrow .. then you can go to mommy's room "
" Okay, mom ... "
Audrey stepped out of her parents' room and took the elevator to her favorite room.
