Roger stood in front of the entrance when he heard his father's voice and Ethan was arguing. Roger overheard a lot of conversation between his father and Ethan. He did not expect that all this time apparently not only himself who suffered alone. Maybe it was because he was too immersed in his assumptions about Ethan and his mother, so he turned a blind eye.
' It turns out I'm not the only one who suffers alone. Ethan suffered more than me. But I always felt that I was the one who suffered the most.' Inner Roger monologue.
" rion.. You here?" Ask Ronald.
" I lived here a few days ago." Roger Sahut.
" But haven't you hated Ethan all this time.?" Ronald did not understand.
" It used to be, but then I realized that it was actually him who cared about me the most. ??" Roger said as he stared at Ethan's door.
"What do you mean, I don't understand.. " Said Ronald.
" Do any of you care about me? You know, all this time even though I hated Ethan, Ethan still cared about me. That's what makes me ashamed of myself." Roger Said.
" But I don't know if you're hurt, you don't tell me either." Ronald defended himself.
" Don't have to wait for me to get hurt, all this time I was in Nusa Kambangan were any of you who came to visit me?. What's the matter with you coming here?" Roger Said.
Ronald was silent, he could not answer Roger because he had never visited Roger. They will only meet when there is a family event.
" dad.. Wanna know your mother's situation." Ronald's Sahut.
" Dad, sometimes the things we ignore are the most important things we forget.Not everything should be the fault of Ethan and his mother. Right here.. The most guilty father. " Said Roger.
"If you hadn't cheated on Ethan at the time, there wouldn't be today. Or at the very least, if father could firmly mediate us then, then maybe we could all live harmoniously and happily. Even Ethan's name is embedded in the family card of father and mother. It doesn't say Ethan's mother's name on our family card. That already proves, that Ethan's mother is a good woman." Said Roger again.
Ronald just bowed silently, often his selfish nature more dominating, to not realize that he had forgotten something important, and made a mistake.
" dad.. Here, Ethan suffers the most. He's been fighting alone all this time, I hope you don't make it hard for him again, you come back." Roger said then he stepped up to leave Ronald.
" How's your mother.? " Ask Ronald.
Roger stopped his footsteps and lowered his head without turning to face Ronald.
" He's fine." Roger said with his eyes closed.
After saying that, Roger immediately took his big step and left Ronald alone in the big room.
Behind the room, Ethan was sitting quietly looking at a photograph. The picture shows a family that looks harmonious. Ronald looks young, with two women beside him, as well as two boys of different ages. It was his family picture when he was a kid.
" It used to.. I spent the whole day looking for a little attention from you. I learned to die in order to master various things, in order to get praise from you. But I always forget one fact, that I'm a child who doesn't want his presence." Ethan looked at Ronald's face.
" I don't give up, and keep learning and learning. Until I had the power to protect my family. And then I found out, you guys I protected wanted me dead. Where is my fault, exactly.? I'm good, you all stepped on me. I'm cruel, you're saying I'm heartless and selfless." Ethan said again.
Ethan grew up without a father's affection, don't think Ethan got Ronald's attention. What looks photographed is not as beautiful as reality. His mother was just a weak common woman, saying that as long as Ethan could live happily in Dominique's family, he didn't care if he wasn't publicly acknowledged, he will remain hidden behind and will never appear to the public.
It is also what makes Ethan hate his mother, his mother is more concerned with the future of Ethan berbelimang property and guaranteed, rather than thinking about Ethan's own feelings. His mother was willing to give his guardianship to Kristin as a biological mother written in the family card, while he could only stay home without knowing what Ethan was going through.
Ethan gives up on his father's attention. Luckily, Roger still cared for her, until the day Kristin was pronounced dead in a plane crash. That day, the day begins Ethan's change of attitude from cheerful, to cold.
Tok..
The sound of the door being knocked from outside.
" Get in" Ethan said.
Roger opens the door to Ethan's room and walks over to Ethan, who is sitting at his desk.
" You okay.?" Ask Roger.
" What could happen to me.? You're thinking too much." Ethan.
" I'm sorry.. " Said Roger.
" For??" Ask Ethan.
" I am late to realize your suffering. All this time I thought that I was the one who suffered the most, but it turned out that I was just too selfish. Not thinking about your feelings, nor your suffering all this time." Roger Said.
" Once, who has been passed, then it is. At least that's what made me grow up to be the strong man I am today." Ethan
" Thank you.." Roger Said.
Roger was about to leave Ethan's room, but Ethan remembered Yara's words, asking him to hold Roger for the next three days. He became confused himself, if only it was Roger who used to be maybe he would not be in a dilemma, but this is Roger who has changed better.
" Sister, if there's a day you see your mother die.. What are you gonna do.?" Ethan says it's coming.
Roger stopped his steps, then turned to look at Ethan.
" If it's his destiny then what can I do.? I can only let go of it." Roger Said.
" If he died of someone's revenge, what would you do.?" Ask Ethan again.
Roger knew who Ethan meant, and Ethan meant Yara. Hearing the question, Roger bowed his head and replied..
" That too is his destiny. He only paid karma for what he had done." Roger Said.
Ethan sees a deep sadness in Roger's eyes, but he can't do anything either. However, Kristin is too dangerous to be alive as before.
" Yara asked me to lock you up for three days." Ethan.
Roger raised his face then looked at Ethan with a puzzled look.
" Why are you telling me?" Ask Roger.
" I just don't want any more misunderstandings. I'm telling you this, so you can judge.. That what we're doing is for your good, and everyone." Ethan.
" Then just do what you're supposed to do. " Said Roger.
" You don't mind.?" Ask Ethan.
" No.." Roger Said.
" Thank you that you're still thinking about my feelings, then from tomorrow I'll be at home." Roger Said.
" all right.. " Say Ethan.
Ethan deliberately does not lock Roger up like a prisoner, Ethan tries to put his trust in Roger.
' May your mouth be none other than your heart. I'm trying to trust you, brother.' Ethan's inner monologue.
.........
Elsewhere, Yara's residence.
" Who are you?? " Task Kristin to Yara.
" I'm one of those people who's been through your life." Yara.
Yara did not want to mention her name, because she did not want Kristin to remember it in her subconscious.
" Can you explain, what happened to Damian Maxwell's grandson.?" Ask Yara.
Yara was trying to pry information about what Kristin had talked about. But because the drug's effects suddenly disappeared, Kristin did not continue he said.
" Mamer maxwell... " Said Kristin. For some reason, when I mentioned Yara's grandfather's name, Kristin became so vengeful.
" Is there anything going to happen to Damian Maxwell's grandson?" Ask Yara again.
" Damians.. He's already taken my father's seal. Then he tried to control my father's mafia. Fortunately he was cursed by the dragon symbol of our group, hahaha.. " Said Kristin.
" What will happen to the cursed child.? " Task Yara.
" he.. Will have a dragon tattoo when he is 19 years old, and will die within 1 year, if the tattoo does not light up under the full moon." Kristin.
" How do I get the tattoo to light up.?"
Ask Yara again.
Suddenly Kristin looked at Yara sharply, but Yara tried to act ordinary.
" With the seal stolen by Damian.. " Then Kristin fell unconscious.
" His gaze earlier, had he woken up before the effects of the medicine ran out?" Said Yara who saw Kristin losing consciousness at this time.
" A little more.. I have to do the seal." Say Yara again.
Yara got up from her seat and walked out of the room, but Kristin opened her eyes wide and looked directly at Yara's back. At this time his condition is not bound, because Yara wants Kristin to be more free to tell stories.
Kristin slowly got up, and ran about to stab Yara from behind. Yara, who felt a movement behind her, turned her head and was surprised when she saw Kristin running to attack her.
Fortunately, she responded very quickly, so the knife in Kristin's hand did not hit her because Yara swiftly kicked Kristin's hand and made the knife bounce.
" How dare you.!!" Shouted Kristin.
Hearing the commotion, Yara's men who stood guard at the door went straight inside and surrounded Kristin.
" Miss is okay.?" Ask Ralf.
" It's okay, tie him up and don't let go. Keep all sharp objects out of the surroundings." Yara.
" Nice miss." Ralph Sahut.
Yara was surprised, if not because she was sensitive to the circumstances around, it was likely that she was currently dying. But one that made Yara confused. How Kristin arrived could be immediately aware like that, even when she was still under the influence of drugs.
" Release.!!! Brengs*k you Yara.!! What are you doing to me.!! " Shouted Kristin raging, but for free it rages. Currently he is in the middle of 4 large-bodied men.
" Rest in peace, Miss Evron, there's still so much you can tell me later." Say Yara, then get out of there.
Yara walks into her room, opens her phone and sees some missed calls from Ryu. Yara finally called Ryuchie back.
" My sister.. You finally contacted brother, you're fine right.? " Say Ryuchie after the video call is connected.
" I'm good brother.. Gosh darn.. Why don't you wear clothes.? Am I bothering brother.?" Said Yara who was shocked to see her brother bare-chested.
" Disturb what? You don't think like okay. Your brother is not that kind of man." Ryu.
" Hehe.. Then why are you bare-chested? Aurora brother where where." Yara.
" Aurora.?? " Sahut Ryu was confused.
" Yes, that's aurora brother mana." Say Yara again.
Ryu increasingly does not understand the meaning of Yara's words, he looks around and looks for the aurora that Yara means. Seeing the brother confused, Yara then laughed out loud.
" Is there anything funny huh.?" Ask Ryu.
" Cute sister, the aurora I'm referring to is sister's body." Yara.
" Aurora's.. You naughty girl. " After realizing the meaning of the aurora meant by Yara.
" Hehehe.. " Yara's laughter sounded.
" Sister just changed the bandage. Hows it? Is there any development from Kristin Evron? Forgive brother for not hitting you too much, brother is having his own difficulties." Ryu.
" God.. What you do is more than many. Kristin's still in brackets, she just told me about the curse that John's grandfather meant back then." Yara.
" then?? Is there any way to break the curse?" Ask Ryu.
" He said with the seal. If we're 19 and one of us has a dragon tattoo, then we should hide out." Yara.
" why.? Is that so glaring?" Ask Ryu.
" Because Kristin said that after the tattoo appears and within a year it doesn't light up under the full moon, it hasn't been broken, and we'll be dead." Yara.
Ryu realized the seriousness of the matter. He was also surprised, in an advanced era and all sophisticated, there was still a curse, and it was from ancient times. But he could not consider it trivial, because it was related to the life between himself and his sister.
" We must continue to force Kristin to tell us about the curse." Ryuchie.
" Sister, today as he was telling a story, I realized he seemed to have awakened in the middle of his subconscious. When the effect of the medicine ran out, he immediately attacked me. Why could that be?" Ask Yara.
Ryu is surprised, for years he developed the drug and used it to the enemy to tell a story, there has never been such an incident.
" It is likely that he is too strong and domineering. Like there's something he wants to hide from anyone." Ryu.
" Such a condition has never happened before, you have to be careful." Said Ryu again.
" All right.." Yara said
" Dear, we'll finish our conversation. I have to take care of something with Sandy." Ryu.
" Alright, take good care of yourself until we meet again." Yara.
Ryu smiled widely, then waved his hand at the screen, then the call ended.
" sister.. Fathering.. Mother.. Hopefully we can get back together and be a normal family like everyone else." Yara.
