My Family's Secret

Revealed

I immediately got ready and went downstairs.

"Where are you going?" ask Allard.

"Meet Jessica for a minute" I answered a lie.

"I'll take you" said Allard.

But I immediately rejected it. "no need. I'll bring my own car because Jessica asked to be picked up."

"Alright, be careful okay. Let me know if there's anything" he said.

"Yes, I'll go first. Please take care of Bella as long as I'm gone, she just fell asleep after a long cry" I replied.

Allard nodded.

I took the car keys and drove to Grandpa Dhanu's mansion. I had to lie to Allard because if Allard knew my true purpose, he wouldn't allow it.

When I reached Dhanu's grandfather's mansion, I saw Regan was already waiting at the mansion's doorstep.

"Welcome, miss. Sir has been waiting for you," he welcomed.

"Please take me to where Dhanu's grandfather is" I said.

Regan took me to Dhanu's grandfather.

In garden.

"The Alexa Miss has reached master," Regan said.

"Leave us both. No one comes here until I call!" grandfather Dhanu's orders.

"Good, sir." Regan is gone.

"Hello Alexa, we haven't seen each other in a long time. The last time we met was before you went into a coma" Dhanu's grandfather said.

How did Grandpa Dhanu know I was in a coma? I asked in my heart.

"Not be confused like that. I know everything that's happened to you" he replied.

"Unfortunately you are wrong, sir. The last time we met was when you were sick. I went to see you but I'm sorry now" I replied.

Grandpa Dhanu laughed. "Hahaha so that time was not a dream. It's good that it wasn't a dream, so I don't have to explain who you really are."

"What do you know about me, sir?" ask me to the point.

"Your call to me has changed. It's okay, I also don't want to be called grandfather by you" he said.

"Please answer my question, sir!" my insistence.

"You are so impatient, just like your father," he murmured.

I scrunched my forehead. "You know my father?"

"certain. I know both of your biological parents" he replied.

"Please tell me everything" I asked.

"What reward do I get?" tanyakanya.

"Whatever it is as long as I can give it, I will give it" I replied.

Grandpa Dhanu was silent for a moment. "Then release Rosa and Bella. Give them to me."

My forehead. "Free? I don't lock them up and they're not things I can give them all I want."

Grandpa Dhanu looked at me sharply. "You said you'd give me whatever I wanted."

I'm nodding. "certain. I'll let grandma and Bella go if that's what they want."

"You're a sneaky, Alexa. You must have brainwashed both of them to hate me!" dewynony.

I'm getting confused with him. "What are you talking about? I don't know the relationship between you and them. Don't talk as if I'm the bad one here."

"You are a bad woman!" cerca Dhanu's grandfather.

"Wicked girl? Why do you call me that? I don't even know what I did wrong until you call me that" I said confusedly.

"Ah yes your arrival here is to know your true identity, right? Before I tell you, there are things I want to ask, why don't you ask the family you love? Why did you come and ask me? Oh don't you, you don't trust the two of them?" guess it.

"Of course I trust my grandfather and brother Alvaro, but I want to hear it from you first. Because you call me the wicked woman and the murderous woman. I want to know what makes you call me that. I felt like I had never done anything vile until I had to be called that way" I explained.

"Are you sure you want to know? After knowing it, your life will not be the same as it used to be" he recalled.

"I'm sure because I have to know what happened in the past" I replied firmly.

My heart wanted to explode because it was beating too fast. I'm scared but I need to know the truth.

"You're here for sure because you've found information that the Harrison family actually has only one male heir, Alvaro. It's not mentioned there that the Harrison family has a daughter, is it? That's because you're not part of the Harrison family. You're the only child of the Smith family" he said.

Grandpa Dhanu gave me a chocolate map. "Read this."

I opened the chocolate map and read the documents inside.

"That's a lie, right?" I was shocked when I read the contents of the document.

"There's no point in me lying" he replied calmly.

I looked at him sharply. "This must be a lie! How can I be the sole heir of the biggest arms company in the UK while I never hold a gun. This must be a trick."

"You sure you never held a gun at all?" tanyakanya.

"I'm sure. Why am I holding a gun while I myself fear that it might hurt someone" I replied quickly.

"You've never but forgotten it. Remember the truth, Alexa. You can't keep running from your past. Your parents' responsibility is on you now" he said.

I shook my head. "No. This is impossible!"

Suddenly Grandpa Dhanu laughed. "Hahaha that's so funny. You can treat and hurt someone whenever you want. The choice is yours, Alexa."

"I can't believe this" I murmured.

"Ask your beloved grandfather and brother" replied Dhanu's grandfather.

"Then what's the reason you always call me the bad woman?" my many.

Grandpa Dhanu was silent for a moment. "You know a man named Devan Danendra?"

I'm nodding. "Yes. Devan was my partner at the hospital."

"What was your relationship with that man in the past?" tanyakanya.

My forehead. "Past time? Devan is just a big brother in my college."

"just that? Have you never been in a relationship at all?" ask again.

"No. Actually why did you suddenly carry the name of this unrelated person?" many confused.

Grandpa Dhanu looked at me. "Have you ever heard of Nara?"

"Nara Inez? Yes, I know him. Nara is my college-level sister as well. He's the same age as Devan so I know him" I replied.

"You ever talk?" ask grandpa Dhanu.

"Yes. Nara always told me about Devan. At that time Nara liked Devan very much but Devan was always attached to me so Nara always asked me for help in order to get close to Devan," I replied.

"Devan likes you but what about you? Do you like it too?" ask him for the umpteenth time.

I'm shaking. "No. I had no interest in having a relationship with anyone back then. What the hell is it? Why are we talking about people who have no relationship at all?"

"Nara is my daughter. He died a long time ago from suicide" he said.

Hearing that I couldn't hide my surprise. "Killed themselves?! How could? Nara is a good and cheerful child."

"He and the man were in contact and therefore Nara was pregnant. But the man does not want to be responsible. The man just dumped Nara. After giving birth to her child, Nara committed suicide" she explained.

I was shocked to hear Grandpa Dhanu's story. But there is still something in my heart. What does this have to do with me? I still don't understand why Grandpa Dhanu called me the bad woman. I can't find the reason in that story.

"Then what's the reason you call me the bad woman? I can't find the answer to your story" I asked.

"You also caused Nara's suicide! Devan left Nara because she likes you. Devan prefers you over Nara!" answer with a high tone.

I'm glaring. "Why is it because of me? I can't control how others feel about me."

"If you had firmly rejected Devan back then, maybe he wouldn't have left Nara. You're Nara's best friend but why did you stab her in the back? You know that Nara loves that man but you keep in good touch with the man your best friend loves."

What Grandpa Dhanu said did make sense. At that time I never rejected Devan firmly. Grandpa Dhanu was right, if only I had rejected her firmly maybe Nara would not have killed herself and died.

"Then where's Nara's son?" my many.

"In your house" he answered briefly.

I scrunched my forehead. "My house?"

"Yes because Bella was the child born to Nara and her grandmother Bella was the wife I had been looking for all these years. So I beg you to return them to me, Alexa," said Dhanu's grandfather pleading.

"I-I'll excuse you first." I also left Dhanu's grandfather's mansion.
