The Lost Sense

The Lost Sense
Chapter 58



"The money is just a number, not an obstacle to filling it with new things. Personalize in order to become a useful figure. If there's a chance, why not change fate?"


Six months have passed, I learned to be unrelenting. As Mom and Dad said, they would bring in an instructor to teach me at home. My brain base that has begun to dead end, continues to be added to me who is clumsy. The learning process is sometimes exhausting.


Sometimes I want to give up. No matter with all*****bizarre the learning process. There's still so much I can do, for my future. Without having to get involved with the business world that papa does.


Papa has been born to be a reliable businessman, and that in my opinion is not relegated, but because of tenacity and persistence in the business world. I think it's definitely not my world.


I'm more interested, in the world of cooking. Rather than taking care of engaging the world of agriculture, plantations, and hospitality that has been cultivated by papa.


While papa wants to make me pursue the same field. Papa wants me to be the heir to the throne of his business empire. Though I have a younger brother, I think he is the one who deserves it more but because he always does trouble, papa and mama no longer respect him. Except, there's a magic Arby changed. But there was no way he would change in an instant.


I was quite surprised as well, why did my sister Arby waste her future with a drink and dugem every night. Does he have a hidden problem, while he can not share because of the busyness of papa or the indifference of mama.


It felt like he wanted to take her to sit together, wanted to hear and get to know her more. But the awkwardness still holds me. Especially because Arby seemed to avoid me and reluctant to meet. Especially since that night.


However, my instinct seems to say that Arby is carrying a burden, which he is also confused about who to share with. It was all clear I saw in his eyes and somehow I felt something to do with it.


With my presence in this house, it was obvious that she felt insecure. Because maybe he felt threatened because of his position as an adopted child. But I didn't have the slightest chance to shift his position. After all he was still my sister, because he was the one who was present to accompany papa and mama all this time.


It is precisely I who feel awkward because all this time the family I know and always with me is Father and Mother.

I was busy reading a book about personality when I heard Bi Elis's voice was meeting. I was a little surprised, why did Bi Elis come when mom and dad were not home. I grew more astonished, when I went down to see Bi Elis. I saw him walking into Arby's kama.


The deg!


Is Bi Elis related to Arby? It's rude of Bi Elis to come straight into Arby's room. Can't wait for him to come out first. And I'm sure Arby must be asleep, because he came home 15 minutes ago.


With a sense of god-level kepo, I descended towards Arby's room. I want to know what they're going to talk about in the room. It just so happened that the door of the room was not tightly closed, so that I could clearly hear their conversation.


Bi Elis calls herself a mama for Arby? So, Arby is the son of Bi Elis, how could he be the adopted son of papa and mama? Didn't you say Arby was found on the porch, because someone threw him in there?


"Get out of my room. All aunty has in mind is money and money. In fact, if it's true I'm your son. How can you blackmail me every time. It's not my property, not even a speck of debt I'm entitled to. So don't come to me talking about money. Because your son died 25 years ago, ever since you dumped him on his uncle's porch!" snapping Arby, makes me jump in shock.


So, Arby Bi Elis's son? I could be a mom and dad's foster kid. Ah, the abandoned child Arby said. So he deliberately dumped bi Elis on the porch of the mama's house, let in the adoption of papa who notes bene is his own brother? Wh-wh-what for? Why that way, if you want to be adopted. What purpose? Hiih, I don't think Arby's problem is more complicated than I thought. That's why he changed and hated Bi Elis so much. So always avoid Bi Elis every time you come home, as your mother said.


Then what was Bi Elis' motive for doing all that? Is it money and legacy? Obviously if papa and mama died for example, of course all the inheritance fell to Arby. Arby as their son would not refuse if he knew that his parents were Bi Elis.


Is it possible that Bi Elis was behind my abduction 30 years ago? If Arby can decipher one by one the tangled threads, of course he will find the point of the knot. Is this what changed Arby? Because he couldn't decipher it but he clearly knew the root of the problem. And all that burdened his mind?


Holy hooch!


I just wouldn't be able to deal with that, Arby could see that his parents' motive was money. Throwing it away for adoption for the sake of treasure, even though it was his own uncle. But how did Mom and Dad not know about it?


Didn't Papa and Bi Elis live in one city? Maybe they were far apart, or to which side. Well, I was so confused.


While in the room Arby and Bi Elis were still fighting.


"Arby, you can't ignore us this way. Please, please, mom, son. Do you want to be an ungodly child, for ignoring us your own parents."


"Is Bi Elis not an ungodly parent, having thrown away his own child for money? You selfish parents. How do I get that kind of money, robbing? " Arby's laughter broke out full of ridicule.


"Can you ask for it, or can you borrow it from your papa?"


"Why didn't Aunt herself ask, wasn't my papa a brother, Auntie. Why, Auntie, don't you dare shut up? Afraid of not being loved? Especially me, who is not his son. Just one flick, I can get kicked out of this house."


"Handoko doesn't know that you're my son unless you tell her. But I'm sure you won't dare to unlock that secret. That's why, before you get kicked out of this house, take what you can take. So that you don't become a street child. Otherwise, get rid of Handoko's child, so that your position as sole heir is not threatened. Don't pretend not to be threatened by Reny. Crisp is a big threat to you. Before he is given power, just get rid of that woman!" seduced Bi Elis with a hateful look.


"Sneaky ground, how dare auntie threaten me. I warn you once again, auntie won't get a penny because it's not your right. I made sure of that, so don't threaten me.****
