Mr. Stegen: A Man with a Hidden Identity

The Secret of Bone

It was like a dream, when Lilia could again set foot on Lienhart's farmland. It was heartwarming, when he could breathe the scent of the wind blowing in that place.

However, Lilia's happiness became imperfect, when she had to watch the place where she grew up was already level with the ground. There was no longer a magnificent house that became heaven for him. No more bovine bellowing, and the hustle and bustle of farm workers.

The only buildings that remain and stand firm are the wooden huts by the river. Because the building was a few meters away from the farm, it escaped destruction. Lilia and Ludwig also did not understand, because the log cabin could have survived the melee on that gripping night.

“Let's go there,” take Ludwig. He guided Lilia's hand, which was still fixed where she stood.

“No,” reject Lilia immediately. “I don't want to!” The red-haired beautiful woman shook her head. He did not move from where he was, even though Ludwig had already pulled his hand slowly. “In there .. I still remember with the human skeleton, in the closet we found first.” Lilia started to look anxious.

“It's okay.” Ludwig kept forcing Lilia to come with him. He led the woman closer to the cottage.

Ludwig and Lilia stood up for a while. They were looking around, looking around. The cottage is very dirty. Many leaves fall on the yard and terrace of the building which is entirely made of wood.

“You sure this is safe?” asked Lilia doubtfully. “This place has been abandoned for a long time. Don't you think ...”

“We first check in,” invite Ludwig. He again led Lilia up the porch, then turned the unlocked doorknob. After the door opened wide, they stepped in very carefully.

Inside the log cabin the condition is still the same as a few months ago, when before the chaos. The difference, this time there is much dirtier and dustier. The musty and musty smell was clearly smelled in the noses of Ludwig and Lilia.

Ludwig did not let go of his hand. He looked around, before turning his gaze to the uncomfortable-looking Lilia. “We can clean this place,” he said.

“What's your plan?” Lilia asked instead. His tone sounded doubtful.

“Entahlah. I just thought that you wanted to come here. Anyway, I have to take you away from Lech,” Ludwig replied. He put down his tote bag. And Lilia too. Ludwig stepped near the door of the room, where there was a human skeleton in the closet.

“No! Nay! don't go there, Ludwig,” stop Lilia.

Ludwig. He stared at Lilia for a moment, before holding onto the doorknob. Ludwig ignored Lilia's ban. However, just as the man was about to turn it around, a familiar voice greeted them.

“You're back?”

Suddenly, Ludwig and Lilia immediately turned their heads toward the source of the voice. They were wide-eyed, looking at the appearance of a man with a shabby appearance, standing in the doorway. The man with the shabby clothes and the thick beard was unkempt. That was Gunther Lienhart.

“Dad?” Lilia could not hold haru. The twenty-three-year-old beautiful woman immediately rushed into Gunther's embrace which immediately greeted him.

“How are you doing, Son?” ask Gunther while stretching out a hug. He looked at Lilia with his new appearance that looked very different. “Your hair is red,” said Gunther again in disbelief.

Lilia did not respond immediately. He turned to Ludwig who was walking closer to them.

“How are you, Ludwig?” greet Gunther.

“As you can see, Mr. Lienhart,” replied Ludwig normally. “I met with Lilia in Poland. He wants to come back here,” said the honey-eyed man.

“I'm very worried about you, Dad. I thought you ...” Lilia could not continue her words. Moreover, because Gunther directly pulled his hand to the corner of the room. There, he opened the two slats of the board that became the floor coating. There was a bunker under the log cabin.

“Come, Son. Inside there is much safer.” Gunther directed Lilia to jump down.

“Wait, Lilia!” prevent Ludwig. He pulled the arm of the woman who was about to jump down. “We don't know how safe it is there.”

Lilia looked doubtfully at Ludwig. He turned his attention to Gunther.

“Do not worry. The bunker was my hiding place long ago,”, Gunther said. The man took a few steps back.

“Since the first?” Ludwig raised his eyebrows. He walked over to Gunther who was starting to look uncomfortable. “Say, Mr. Lienhart.” Ludwig's gaze was sharply fixed on Lilia's father. “Did your twin brother never come here?” The question Ludwig gave sounded different in Gunther's ear.

“A-what do you mean? How did you know that I have a twin brother?” guther asked a little nervously.

“Didn't you ever tell me about Uncle Dominik? I still remember it, Dad,”, Lilia commented.

Gunther immediately turned his attention to the princess only wayangnya. He became misbehaved. However, the middle-aged man tried to keep looking ordinary, by covering up his nervousness. “Oh, i-yes. I forgot to tell you about that. Yes, you're right.” Gunther.

However, his clumsy attitude can not lie to the vision of a Ludwig. The copper-haired handsome man squinted his eyes. Ludwig seemed to catch something else from Gunther's body language. “Alright, Mr. Lienhart. You might be able to give a little explanation about the human bones in the closet. Lilia was very frightened when she found him.”

“A-what? Bones what do you mean?” Gunther looked increasingly nervous.

“I'm sure if it's a real bone,” said Lilia doubtful. “I didn't go to college, but I know what I saw that night wasn't a toy, Dad

“Lilia ..” Gunther's eyes turned soft. He stared fixedly at the beautiful woman who was now changing her hair color to red. “Lilia, I'm sorry,” Gunther said as he gathered in front of Lilia suddenly. She clasped and hugged her two legs tightly.

Lilia was astonished by the strange attitude of the father. He turned to Ludwig for help. However, the man also looked confused. “Say. What's going on, Dad? Why are you apologizing to me?” lilia Cecar.

“I sincerely love you.” Gunther. He looked wistfully at the beautiful face of the astonished Lilia.

“Of course, since you are my father,” reply Lilia. He also tried to pull Gunther's body back up.

“No.” Gunther shook his head slowly. “I'm not your father. I'm just a useless uncle, son," he argued.

“What?” Lilia and Ludwig spoke at the same time.

“I was a coward who ran away from criminals, then hid behind your father. She ... she died because of my mistake,” raved Gunther.

“What other joke is this, Dad?” Lilia forced her to take her foot off Gunther's hand. Fear returned to the poor woman, so she shuffled away and hid behind Ludwig's sturdy body.

“My name is Dominik. Meanwhile, the bones you found belonged to Gunther, your real father,”, obviously the middle-aged man, like lightning that directly struck Lilia's fragile body.
