Gara

Kaivan walked slowly towards the bed where Athreya lay. His heart was sliced with pain seeing the condition of the younger brother—an arm was installed with an infusion and nose was fitted with oxygen, as well as a monitor that recorded his heart rate was very weak.

Kaivan's tears trickled as she clasped Athreya's fingers, it was cold, not as warm as usual, even with a face, very pale and her eyes tightly shut.

"I'm sorry Big Brother isn't taking care of you, Reya" Kaivan whispered.

In the next second, Kaivan's hand stretched out and touched Athreya's stomach covered in a blanket. I don't know whose seed ever grew there, which obviously the guy was a jerk. Dare to impregnate, but do not dare to marry. According to Kaivan's assumption, the man was absent until Athreya committed suicide.

"Come on, Reya, and see how Big Brother will teach you a lesson about the man who hurt you. Brother promised to find the man, even to the end of the world," Kaivan continued with closed eyes.

Then, Kaivan hugged Athreya's body and rubbed her hair gently. Tears seeped out and soaked the pale cheeks. However, it is too beautiful to dream in the subconscious, so Athreya did not open his eyes even though the cold tears did not stop dripping.

After a long time with Athreya, Kaivan came out and changed the incoming Niken. Meanwhile, Kaivan pulls Nicko's hand and takes him to the hospital yard.

"Say whatever you know!" kaivan said firmly.

"I don't know anything, Brother."

"Don't test my patience, Nicko!" snapped Kaivan. He was sure the man was hiding something. Since then, he always avoids his eyes.

Before Kaivan made a threat, Nicko suddenly crouched down and hugged Kaivan's leg. In addition to continuing to say sorry, Nicko also promised to tell the address of a man named Anggara.

"Wake up and explain clearly! I won't be angry if you tell me the truth" Kaivan said.

Slowly, Nicko got up and bowed before Kaivan. Again he regretted the incident past—according to the request of a friend who is often called Gara, which is to introduce him to Athreya. If he knew it would be this fatal, Nicko would never have done it.

"Explain!"

"Gara is my Junior High friend. We were quite close though no longer forging an education in the same place. At that time, he came to the house and met Athreya. At Gara's request, I introduced Athreya to him. I don't think they'll be close. Athreya is a pious girl who never takes off the hijab, while Gara is a drunk, smoker, and her appearance is far from good. I was surprised when Athreya was honest that he had been dating Gara. I once reminded, but not ignored, Athreya actually warned me to keep it a secret from anyone, including Mama and Papa. Stupidly, I followed Athreya's request" Nicko said at length.

"Continue!"

"I often remind Athreya to take good care of herself because I know how Gara is. In the past, he often had to change partners, not infrequently also fuck them. But, Athreya is still dating Gara." Nicko took a long breath. "So, I came home late to celebrate a college friend's birthday. As time passed in front of Athreya's room, I heard a groan. Kugedor-gedor his room, but there was no response. I finally broke down and found him lying on the floor. Beside him, there was an empty insect repellent bottle. In addition, I also found a used pack test on the bed. I immediately understood the problem, but I haven't seen Gara. Athreya's condition was very severe, so I came here first. But, just now while waiting for the doctor, I tried to contact Gara, it's just .. the number is not active," he continued.

Kaivan's fist landed rough on Nicko's face, until his body staggered and almost fell.

"Why did you introduce my sister to that son of a bitch, huh!" kaivan snapped while sending out a second blow.

"Kaivan, stop!" Reza shouted while holding Kaivan's body.

"You have no right to blame my son! If you are now pregnant before marriage, it is your own sister's fault that can not keep the association. It's good we let him stay at home, you don't even know thank you!" mala maki. His emotions were provoked when he saw a bruise on Nicko's face, while his son was not willing to fight at all.

"Ma, already, Ma. Don't make things worse" Reza said.

"Just keep defending him, my dear! You cannot escape the past. Still love, right, same Kirana!" snapped Niken.

"Ma, already. It's my fault for introducing Gara to Athreya" Nicko said. She doesn't want her mother to misunderstand the past.

"If he can take care of himself. Get to know anyone won't get pregnant first."

"Oh, already, everything is. Athreya is being critical there, we shouldn't be making a fuss here." Reza spoke up again.

"You___"

"Ma, don't bring up the past! I've forgotten that since I married you." Reza silenced Niken's speech while embracing it tightly, so that the emotions subsided as before.

Soon, each of them shuts down and returns to the front of the IGD, except for Kaivan. The man remained standing where he was, there was one thing stuck in his mind.

"What does Aunt Niken mean? What's the connection between Om Reza and Mommy?" inner Kaivan.

After making sure that his mother is okay and just in shock, Kaivan invites Nicko to see Gara. This is where they are now, gliding at high speed over the highway in the Capital City.

"Front turn left" Nicko gave instructions.

After traveling for 45 minutes, Kaivan stopped his car in front of a magnificent two-story house. According to Nicko, it was the residence of Gara and her mother.

"Hopefully he is there" Nicko said before stepping down.

Kaivan did not respond to Nicko's remarks, instead directly descended and rushed towards the gate. In a hurry, he rang the bell that was there. Once, twice, up to five times no response at all.

"Ah, fuck!" Kaivan growled while kicking the iron fence that was in front of him.

"Patience, brother, maybe he's still sleeping. It's usually noon."

"You said she lives with her mother, there's a maid too. Did they wake up in the afternoon?" answer Kaivan with high intonation.

Nicko. Then he picked up his phone and tried to contact Gara. However, the results remain nil. Number Because it's out of range.

"Who are you looking for, sir?" ask the adult woman who passed there while carrying groceries.

"I'm looking for Gara, Mom," Nicko replied.

"Wow, Mr. Gara is not around. Last night, he and his mother went out of town, and even his assistant came along."

"Out of town? If you can figure out which city you're in, ma'am?" ask Kaivan.

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know. Last night I asked Mbak Darmi, he said out of town that's all."

Not getting a bright spot, Kaivan and Nicko head home. Nicko put on an anxious look, while Kaivan was more irritated. He forgot about it by stepping on the gas pedal.

"Where is he going?" asked Kaivan without looking.

"I can't guess for sure, brother. All I know is that his father lived in Surabaya. But, whether he's going there or not. As far as I know, their relationship is not very good. His father and mother divorced, since childhood Gara followed his mother," replied Nicko.

"Do you have a picture of him?"

"She, Brother."

"Send to my number!" Kaivan's orders.

"Good, Brother."

After arriving at the hospital, Kaivan did not immediately go down. He doesn't care even if Nicko is out and may have arrived in front of IGD. Kaivan focused on looking at the face of the man plastered on his phone screen. Although handsome, but the appearance is a little bland. Dyed hair, ears fitted earrings, a black necklace coiled around the neck, also a tattoo that adorns the left arm. In addition, his fingers seemed to clamp a cigarette that lived half.

"It feels .. This face is a little familiar. Have I met him?" kaivan muttered.

After observing Gara's face, Kaivan read a chat that had not been opened last night. Aside from Luna, Kaivan also reads chats from three foreign numbers. Two of them were from clients who were grateful for his work, while one from someone who was in contact made his heart beat fast.

Seriate...

In a novel, there are usually many things that are related. Can anyone guess who this is?

A character who has previously appeared (as a side glance that is likely immediately forgotten)

Or someone who has something to do with the characters who often appear?

Who sent Kaivan a message?
