THE SECRET OF SANDRA

The Revealed Facts

"I've contacted Leo's brother, he said he and Ayu's sister will be staying at Leo's apartment tonight. Then should we also discuss everything with them tonight, pa?" ask Sandra to Papa Luis. When it was late afternoon but Leo had not yet returned, Sandra contacted Leo to ask about his condition. It turns out that Leo also told him that he did not stay at the mansion tonight but returned to his apartment because he had brought Ayu along.

"Leave it first. They need both time. Tomorrow we talk back to them" replied papa Luis and was accepted by Sandra.

The next day, Leo and Ayu come to the Sandra mansion because today is Sunday all the residents of the mansion are off from their activities. Leo wanted Ayu to get to know the people who had been by his side.

"Good morning" said Leo and Ayu to everyone in the family room of the Sandra mansion.

"Morning" answered everything together.

"Let's go, brother, join us" Sandra asked Leo and Ayu. Leo and Ayu immediately approached towards them.

"How does Ayu live with Leo? It seems you will often be left alone if you live with Leo" said Papa Luis.

"For one day yesterday has not been left alone om, if tomorrow-tomorrow yes maybe left alone hehe" Ayu replied casually while joking. He had been warned by Leo while in the apartment not to be awkward when dealing with his girlfriend's family.

"Hahaha right, so it's better that you stay here with us. Besides this mansion many rooms, afraid of being visited by demons if eventually not inhabited hahaha. And if here do not call papa om, call papa just like the others" suggested Papa Luis with a crisp laugh. Making everyone who heard the words chuckle, not usually also Papa Luis want to joke like this.

"I go with Leo wherever he is. Good pa" said Ayu.

"How's Leo?" papa Luis asked for a response to his advice.

"Yes pa, I agree. Anyway I will often leave Ayu to work. It would be safer if he were here" Leo replied casually.

"You hear what your brother says? You live here with us" said Papa Luis and embraced enthusiastically by Ayu.

"Horay... My brother became more and more" cried Alin while standing by shaking his butt followed by Akbar and Damar made everyone there laugh because of the actions of the little boys.

Now Sandra, Leo, Ayu, Yusuf, Willy, Sandro, and Papa Luis are in Sandra's study. Papa Luis and Sandra want to talk seriously about their families. Everyone sat on the sofa in the room, fortunately Sandra's workspace was very spacious.

"Is there anything papa's collecting us here?" ask Leo curiously.

"What is pa?" ask Leo.

"You two misunderstood your parents" said Papa Luis.

"meaning pa? As far as I know our parents never cared about us, even for breakfast together almost never. We were always taken care of by babysitters and a few bodyguards who sometimes they also neglect their duties" Leo exclaimed.

He recalled how when his parents were busy working, they left early in the morning while his two children were still sleeping and came home late at night when his son was asleep. For breakfast together is rare, even seeing their faces is also rare. The babysitter, who scolded us sometimes, yelled at us with harsh words when we were having trouble sleeping or eating. Guards whose job is to keep us safe and home, in fact they just relax drinking coffee and smoking without wanting to know that their employer was yelled at by a babysitter. It was all completely imprinted on his little brain to date.

"What Leo's brother said, pa. Even when I was 8 years old, my mom and dad kicked me out on the grounds that I was naughty and disobedient to the babysitter. They have been lazy to take care of a bad boy like me, he said I was always angry with them, when all of that was clearly the opposite of the hyx" Ayu told in tears which was then embraced by Sandra.

"What's? You were expelled when you were 8?" surprised Leo who really makes anger in Leo's chest peaked.

"Son Leo, wait a minute. Papa wants to explain something" Papa Luis stopped when he saw Leo was about to leave.

"Explain what pa? Isn't it clear that they abandoned my sister at a very young age? I can't accept this pa" Leo exclaimed in a high tone.

"Sister Leo" remembers Sandra when Leo is completely overpowered by her emotions. Leo suddenly regained consciousness after hearing Sandra's call.

"Sorry pa, I'm really upset" lamented Leo by lowering his head feeling guilty.

"What a hell, kid. Sit back" Papa Luis ordered, directly obeyed by Leo.

"It is true that your parents are wrong to do something by dumping you for work or other reasons. But your parents aren't entirely wrong either, this is all they're doing for your good. It's not that papa defends, it's just that we have to assess everything from two sides in order to really know what's going on" said Papa Luis.

"Both of your parents actually want to protect you. The babysitters and bodyguards who look after you are not your parents, they are the messengers of your family business who are told to monitor the activities of all your parents. Both of your parents were forced to accept them into your house because they were both threatened with killing you both. Both of your parents who were worried at that time could only resign and finally have an idea to avoid you from danger. That is by not caring about you so you will run away from home, but it is a pity Ayu when it does not follow Leo. So that your parents think to expel Ayu with unclear reasons in order to save Ayu's life" he continued.

"What's? How could pa? Dad, you're not kidding, are you?" asked the surprised Leo, as well as Ayu.

"Yes, last night you got that information from papa's men. Both of your parents used to be rich, but the company that was managed at that time was on the verge of bankruptcy so he had to indemnify the company they were collaborating with. But it turns out that the partner company has indeed planned it all to pressure your parents so that your family company is lost and has no heir in the future. It's your parents' fault that they didn't try to seek the help of other companies to help their companies. And finally your family's company has now been destroyed, but your parents are grateful that you two were not targeted by the cruelty of the business world" he replied.

"What's? Our family company went bankrupt. Who made our family bankrupt?" ask Leo.

"He is..."
