LOVE BEHIND THE VEIL

79. Hallucinating

Gavino stopped his car in the middle of an artificial lake. Quiet expanse of water, decorated with colorful fountains in the middle. Gavino sat awake on the hood of the car, he took out a pack of cigarettes, took out the contents of a stick, then turned on the lighter. Gavino had never smoked before, this was Gavino's first time, sucking on the nicotine.

The night wind swept over Gavino's face, though his face looked disheveled and dark circles were clearly visible in his eyes, but it did not diminish the good looks and charisma of a Gavino in the least. Gavino sat pensively with thoughts drifting, he thought about what Mr. Danu said about his lover and thought about where his wife was at the moment.

Gavino exhaled a long breath, with a straight look ahead.

" You where Danira is, why is it so hard for me to find you. Are you deliberately hiding to avoid me ?". Gavino.

" I'm here, are you looking for me?". asked Danira, taking a cigarette in a gavino hand and throwing it away. Gavino turned his head, and it was true that he saw Danira standing beside him. Gavino's eyes sparkled, he wanted to hug Danira, but Danira's voice held him back.

" Jagan, stay like this. I'm more comfortable when we sit together like this". Danira said, making Gavino nod, then look back to the front.

" Where have you been, why have you been hiding from me?, are you so angry and hateful to me?". Gavino's line of questions, made Danira smile.

" I have never hidden or avoided you, and I have forgiven you for your mistakes. I just give you time to think, whether I am the person you expect to be with you for the rest of your life, or if I am just the wind, with a straight look ahead.

" I'm sorry, I'm aware of my mistake, and I realize that I really need you, Danira. Will you come back to me ?". Gavino asked, with a pleasing gaze looking at Danira. Danira answered with a bundle of his head, making Gavino wrinkle his forehead confused.

" Why?, didn't you just say you forgave me, then why don't you want to come back to me ?".

" If you haven't decided on your choice of heart, stop wishing for this marriage, and if my name is already in your heart, then God will lead you to meet me again". Danira said subtly.

Hearing Danira's reply, Gavino lowered his head and closed his eyes for a moment.

" I'm sorry Danira I haven't bus....!!". Gavino's eyes bulged, looking right and left. Gavino stands around his car looking for Danira who has disappeared. Gavino raised his hand, apparently the cigarette that Danira threw away was still there in his day.

" Aahhhh shit, am I really crazy now, until I hallucinate like this. must be because of this damn cigarette, making my mind even more chaotic ". Gavino grumbled, took out all his cigarettes and got in the car.

Gavino was driving his family's seven mansions, no matter how long, his car had arrived and stopped right in front of the towering gate. Gavino was worried, should he enter, or return to his penthouses alone. He knew his mother was still very angry with him at this moment. But security opened the gate because he knew it was a luxury car owned by his master. Gavino finally got his car in.

" Thank you sir ". Gavino told Security. Making the security sir stunned, because not usually this master said a step like this.

Gavino stepped into the mansion, and was greeted by several servants who saw his arrival.

" Good night sir ". Greet the servants saluting.

" Eehhmmm...".

" Where's mami ?".

" The Great Lady is in the dining room" sir ". Answer one of the maids. Gavino just walked straight to the seventh place where his mother is right now. He saw his mother sitting at the large dining table alone, with dishes almost filling the table.

" Mi ..?". Call Gavino, madam Calina just glanced for a moment and refocused her plate again. Gavino has been standing next to his mother, wanting to kiss her as usual, but she is. Calina quickly moved her head away from Gavino. Gavino, who realized this was one of his mother's protest actions, could only be silent, then sat there.

" You want to have dinner with what sir ?". Ask bik Sri.

" No need to bik, I'm not hungry yet". Said Gavino, bik Sri just nodded and stood in a place a little far away. Gavino observes his mother, who is still focused on his eating, as if he did not consider Gavino's whereabouts.

" Is mom still mad at me ?". Ask Gavino, but Miss. Calina was silent a thousand languages, only displaying a pouting face.

" Y..!! me and Danira will never get divorced, mom take it easy ". Said Gavino directly, Miss. Calina remained silent giving no response. Seeing that, Gavino sighed softly.

" I've already foiled Danira's plea in court today, so she'll never be able to file a lawsuit against me at any time ". Gavino told me again. Hearing that, Mommy. Calina stopped, put the spoon and fork on her plate. Then I saw Gavino's face.

" Are you serious ?". Myself Mentioned. Calina, looking at Gavino's eyes, looked for her son's honesty.

" I'm very serious mommy, if you don't believe me, you can come to court yourself and ask the truth.

" Then why haven't you brought my son-in-law back here, if you've managed to back him up ?".

" Eemm.that's, I..!! I haven't found her hiding place yet mi ". Gavino replied honestly, looking at the direction.

" Cihhh.you think he's a thief, should hide. You're the stupid one, your time of influence has reached Asia, finding your own wife's home you can't ". Ketus. Calina grumbled back.

" Where are the great people you have, what has become the statues of Pancoran all ?". Mrs. Calina was very upset by the reason her son gave her.

" It's not that mi, but he's like he's been helped by someone to hide from me. As long as you know, all the Cctv footage that leads to looking for it, it's all been sabotaged. Danira couldn't possibly do all that by herself instead, because she didn't have any power. I'm sure there must be someone who did this for him ". Clearly Gavino, with a gaze full of anger.

" Are you suspecting someone ?". Ask Ny. Calina was curious too.

" I was suspicious at first of Doni, but after seeing the last footage. It seems that that helped Danira the owner of Radenayu Group ".

" Radenayu Group owner?, what is my daughter-in-law's relationship with the owner of the company ?".

" According to the company's confidant, if Danira is the closest friend of the owner of Radenayu Group. But I'll investigate everything ".

" Mommy doesn't care if you want to do an investigation or whatever. Who mami wants, you have to bring my daughter-in-law and granddaughter back here in good and healthy condition" said Ms. Calina, getting up from her chair preparing to leave Gavino.

" Fast eat, then go home to your penthouses. Mami won't talk or see your face before you bring them back ". Ketus. Calina went inside her room. Gavino sighed softly, seeing that his mother's back had disappeared behind the door.

Didn't want to talk, but just now gave a lot of questions and orders. Inner Gavino. Gavino Bagun from his seat, stepped away.

" No bik, just later ".

Gavino got into his car, started the engine and left his family's mansion. As Gavino left, Miss. Calina opened the door of her room slowly, peering outside.

" It looks like that rancid brat has left ". Ny muttered. Calina slow. Get out of his room .

" Bikes...Bik Sri's ". Call Mrs. Calina half whispered from behind the wall. Bik Sri cilingak clinguk looking for sound source.

" Bik.i'm here ". Bik Sri turned her body, looking behind the parapet between the living room and the dining room, she saw Ny's head. Calina poked a little there. Bik Sri walked over.

" Mr.a called me ". Ask bik Sri.

" Yes bik, from earlier I called. Has the chicken flea gone bik ?".

" Young Master's gone from earlier Madam ". Bik Sri replied in a whisper.

" Why do you say follow him whispering anyway bik ?".

" Abis Madam also talked whispers, I guess the madam also wanted me to answer in a whisper ". Hear bik Sri's answer, Ms. Calina poked her lips.

" Did aunt hear that chicken flea saying ?".

" Whose words are Madam ?". Bik Sri said confused, because between mother and child is talking quite a lot.

" Iisss you here, saying that he has succeeded in thwarting Danira's plans. Calina folded her hands in front of her chest.

" Oh yes, I hear it Madam ".

" Call the people who work there, ask the truth. Is what Gavino says honest or lies ". pinta Ny. Calina.

" But, ma'am, it's late. Surely the employees there have gone home ". Obviously bik Sri, there is no way he contacted employees who have run out of work hours, thought bik Sri.

" Bik...!!". Mrs. Calina glared, a sign she did not want to deny her orders.

" Good madam, wait a minute ". Pasrah bik Sri, then pulled out her phone trying to contact someone.

" Not appointed Madam ". Bik Sri said.

" Try on, until he picks up the phone ". Declare Ny. Calina. Bik Sri continued to try, until the 6th call was heard by someone from the phone. Bik Sri immediately conveyed what he meant by this call, bik Sri immediately turned on the loudspiker when the person answered all the questions bik Sri.

Mrs. Calina smiled Gilang, hearing the person's explanation. He was really happy, meaning Gavino wasn't lying.

" Thank you for the information, sorry for interrupting your time. Good night ". Bik Sri said, then turned off the call.

" How about Nyon....!!!". Not yet able to make Sri finish her sentence, Ms. Calina had been shouting happily, like a person who had run out of the Lontre draw.

" Yuhuu's...YAY...". Shouted Mrs. Calina glee.

" At last my son did not become a widower, Danira remained my son-in-law's bik". Shouted Mrs. Calina while holding Bik Sri's hand, then jumped up and down while circling.

" Yes, my lady, I'm glad to hear it ". Bik Sri said, following the movement of Ny. Calina.

" It's a bik, I'm tired of jumping around like this ". Mrs. Calina said while Ngos-ngosan, as well as bik Sri.

" Hhuuuhhhh....!! I have to find a way, so that Danira will accept the chicken fleas again ".

" If waiting for that rancid boy to make a move, it seems like it will be decades, so it should be this mammoth that shows the way ". Said Ny. Calina, Mrs. Calina never thought why when it comes to women's affairs, Gavino is so slow as a snail.

" Try calling Danira's cell phone number again bik ".
