Mentari in the Night Sky
The Past: Traps
It was still day and the rain was falling. The rain creates warmth for those who light up the room's heat and creates coldness for those on the streets. And here I felt neither warmth nor cold, as if my body was numb.
I'm preparing a dinner with Stephanie and Caroline. Grandpa and grandma have affairs with their friends, affairs that seem sudden to me but not to them. Arthur didn't come home with us and was still accompanying Olivia, it seemed like she was changing the days that they were apart. Ken's asking for a plane to return to London. I was watching the rain.
I wanted to return to London with my father and mother after resolving a misunderstanding about the divorce papers but the school forced all students to come to school. Police are investigating the alleged bullying as part of Natasha's death and they called the students as witnesses. Seeing how the police involved the bullying issue, I don't think father interfered in the investigation as a whole. I'm just giving you big evidence and the rest of the police work or maybe someone reported bullying.
This investigation has been going on for 2 weeks and today is the last day of the investigation. If Ken and I hadn't come to school today, the police would have asked us to come directly to the police station, something that would have been more troublesome.
"The plane's waiting, we can leave now if you want."
"Ken?" call me without me noticing.
"Yes?"
"If Natasha comes back one day and she wants to get into your life, what are you going to do?" I asked to get my brain to process what just came out of my mouth.
"I don't know what I'd do if it really happened but I've promised not to play behind you and I'll keep that promise.
"Give it to me" I said as I gave Ken my right palm, causing him confusion.
"I know you've always wanted me to put my aunt's bracelet back on" I continued.
The day I returned Aunt Lily's bracelet was the day Ken also wanted to give it back to me. From then on, he always carried the bracelet, wherever and whenever he went, he always kept the bracelet and waited for the right time to give it back to me. I knew it and pretended not to know because I didn't want to get back tied to something that wasn't meant for me.
Ken pulled something out of his pants pocket. She took my hand and put on a bracelet. There was something different about the bracelet that was now on my wrist. He added something to the bracelet in my hand, something he could add and something he shouldn't add.
"You crazy? How can you engrave my name on this bracelet? This bracelet is a bracelet that will be passed down...."
"Why?" reply Ken as soon as I stop my words.
"Forgetit."
"You'll pass it on to our future son-in-law."
"Stop it" I said in an angry tone.
"You started it."
"Ken!!"
"They!!"
Ken and I went straight to the source of the voice calling my name. The source of the voice that was running towards us in a hurry. Caroline tried to lean her body against me but Ken directly blocked her and pushed her away from me.
"Sera, she suddenly mentioned your name as the one who did the bullying to Natasha. William had already tried to keep this news from coming out but the Tindall Family gave false information to reporters and now the situation is completely out of control."
"What about the others?" ken asked as he pulled my hand and followed him into the house.
"They decided to keep quiet because the news of Zeta's parents' divorce was also widespread. Everyone chose to remain silent until they knew which side would be more favorable," Caroline replied breathlessly.
...-----...
Caroline nudged my arm and gave Ken a question mark. Caroline and I kept watching Ken stuff my stuff in the suitcase. He didn't even pack his belongings and focused on looking for my belongings.
"I'll be back here again. Stop packing my things" I said, preventing Ken from putting more of mine in his suitcase.
"Did something happen?"
The sudden question mother managed to make the three of us surprised, Caroline even shouted.
"Zeta has to go back to school. You don't have a problem being alone?"
"What does Zeta mean by being alone? There are many servants in this house."
"Going home? Is this house now home to Zeta?"
"..."
"I'm sorry for your question" she said as soon as she saw the change in my face.
"Wherever will be home to Zeta as long as Mom is in it."
"Mom will pack some food for Carol" she said as she walked back to the kitchen.
"Mom, I'll be here soon too."
"Mom knows," she replied with a smile, a smile that made my heart uncomfortable.
...-----...
"The weather is so hostile, we can't fly now."
"Can we go back home?" my many.
"..."
"I don't want to wait any longer at the airport, Ken. I think 2 hours is enough to wait. The problem of bullying will also not be solved this time either."
"Well, I'll call my secretary first."
I looked back at the planes that were still parked on the runway and the people who started to get off the plane. Many flights were canceled because the weather was not supportive, the rain was getting heavier accompanied by wind. It seems like God wanted me to be with my mother more than being in an environment that would just make me have trouble breathing.
I turned my attention to someone who was talking to Ken, someone I knew very well. Since when has Uncle Stephan been at this airport? Did you ask your uncle to watch me once you got home?
"What's Uncle doing here?" I surprised Ken and Uncle Stephan.
"Mr Allison's flight cancelled. Mr. Allison is still in London,” replied uncle without further ado.
"What does Uncle mean? Zeta called my dad 3 hours ago and I said I'll be in Wales soon."
"After saying that something happened and you asked me to leave for Wales on schedule."
"Something what?!"
"Zeta," call Ken to try to keep me in control.
"The matter with Mrs Sei."
I immediately twisted my body and walked up to pick up all the items I had placed on the chair. Ken came up to me and immediately took all the items in my hand and gave them to his bodyguard. He held my hand, trying to win me over.
"Let's go home" he said as he pulled my body up to follow him.
"Zeta, Sera never mentioned your name to the police. Your mother, I mean Aunt Zelia who asked journalists and journalists to write the bullshit," Stephanie gasped at me.
"Steph just got this information from William," Caroline said as she noticed the change in look on my face.
"Divority news?" my many.
"Many already know but not Aunt who spread it, not Uncle."
"Ken, find out all the contacts of the people who work at grandfather's house and call them, ask them where they are" I said in a frightened tone.
