The Tragedy of the Night

The Part 40

Arsen came out of his room. The man's clothes looked as neat as they would in the mornings. He walked full of energy towards the dining room. When he reached the dining table, he furrowed his eyebrows not understanding why his parents were staring at him so sharply. The man glanced at the father and took a deep breath.

He pulled the chair next to the dining table to let out a loud squeak.

"What happened?" Arsen asked as he glanced at his parents full of questions.

The man took the plate that was there and added the rice in his plate. He took the dishes presented on the table and placed them in a plate that already had rice.

Ariana and Davit did not stop observing Arsen so intensely. Their faces are hard to explain. Until Arsen who never saw the change in face was not calm the parents also put back the spoon in his hand.

He crossed his chest and glanced at his parents. "Why do you keep watching my face? Is the food on the table not as attractive as my handsome face?"

Davit sighed and smiled faintly at his son. In his mind, there was a great war going on. In his heart still having doubts, what is said by Ariana that Arsen has known that he is not Alex is true? He wanted to ask but, he was afraid that this question would bring Arsen to the point of suspicion against him.

" Alex, do you know Arsen?"

Hearing the question from Davit did not make Arsen nervous. The man looks calm. He just smiled at his father.

"Yes he is my twin sister. Isn't that pa?" Davit was silent when Arsen said that. However, the silence he appeared to now did not mean he had felt relieved. But, there was still a hint of suspicion seething in his heart. And that feeling he tried to cover with a light smile.

"Didn't you have the slightest suspicion of us? And don't you get curious about your past?" Ariana asked who finally spoke. His mouth was itching to ask that. He knows what risks he will take. Arsen must have sensed something odd about the question.

"Why did Mom ask that. What's wrong with my past?" 

" ah, nothing, honey. Mom just wants to ask. What about the company everything's okay, right?"

"Hm."

Arsen put the food that had been delivered in front of him into his mouth. He chews so wisdom and permeates every delicacy found in the food. When he felt something dry in his throat the man took water and took it up.

The man was silent. Definitely Sarga before coming to his office, the crazy man had stopped by his house. You son of a bitch, Sarga must have told Ariana everything. The man was indeed troublesome, for some reason he used to be close to the man. If he had known that Sarga had the disorder, he might have stayed away from the parasite first.

"Alex! Papa will be at noon to your office, there's something important I need to talk to you about."

The man raised his head and looked at Davit with a flat expression. He picked up his briefcase and moved from there. Before he left the dining room, Arsen grabbed a glass of milk, drank a little.

"It's up to you. Without you having to tell me, I'm still letting you."

Then Arsen left the room and the people who were there sighed heavily. Ariana and Davit looked at each other for a moment before looking back at Arsen's back, which was increasingly disappearing from their sight.

Davit grunts. His gaze remained fixed on the trail that Arsen passed through. A moment later Davit looked at Ariana sitting beside him. And that gaze was reciprocated by Ariana with a raised right eyebrow.

"Why?"

"Are you sure of what you said this morning?"

Ariana fixed her messy looking hair, then placed it in front of her chest. Ariana is also still in a confused mode, she is unable to translate every word per word that Arsen speaks. The woman is still in a difficult time, she wants to believe Sarga's words that say if Arsen has found out that she is not Alex. But, seeing the calmness in Arsen's eyes just now made the trust waver and melt into a doubt.

"I'm not sure either. But looking at Arsen, it made me think a little. Sarga could have deliberately said that so that we get into the trap that he has made," said Ariana while displaying a look of thought.

"I think so, but baby, I'll try to figure it all out. You take it easy, Arsen definitely doesn't know everything. I'll call my confidant to investigate that." Davit poked both of his lips. The man's eyes look right is calming Ariana who has been hit by anxiety.

"You promised, right? You know for yourself that Arsen never liked Alinta, if he knows who Alinta is surely Arsen no longer wants to continue his engagement with Alinta. Until whenever I never willingly if Arsen is not married to Alinta."

"yeah. I promise."

An SUV is speeding in the crowd, sometimes there are people who are amazed when the car passes right in front of their eyes, when viewed from the flat number only, if seen from the flat number only, many people know whose car it is. The rider who is no stranger to the ears of the community, namely an Arsen Wijaya Altas. A young entrepreneur who is famous for his intelligence and non-tik strategy in the world of economics that can be thumbs up. The assertiveness possessed by Arsen like it had become a character in the man, no doubt sometimes people can be frightened to see the cold flat face was looking into their eyes.

It can be said that once the city of Jakarta on this day there is no traffic jam that can cause a queue of vehicles that are so long. But never mind, he doesn't worry about it. Isn't that a good thing?

"I hope the city of Jakarta will continue like this" Arsen murmured while driving.

However, not knowing why suddenly a face of a boy who was always adorable throughout the day came sneaking out without excuse into his head. Arsen who remembered Gabriel's face that was able to make him calm down was stunned. Ah, why does he suddenly miss Gabriel huh?

Arsen turned directly to the left when he found the intersection. Though from what you know, the road he is going through is not a road to his office. I don't know what demon took him to turn left, which incidentally is the road leading to Nisa's contract.

Half the way the man realized what he had done. Arsen pulled over his car and stopped.

"That you're crazy, why go to Nisa's house, which there will be a woman who will ask all kinds of questions." Arsen prutasi, he looked around the street, one of the many buildings lined up on the side of the road was able to attract his attention. "Didn't Gabriel like pizza?"

A second later the handsome man smiled, he knew what reason he had to do to come to visit Nisa's house so that it was not known that he was missing Gabriel, at the same time with his mother too. Arsen got out of the car and went to the pizza shop across the street. Automatically the man had to cross first against the flow of traffic, but that was not a problem for the man.  For the sake of completing his longing he was willing to do anything, so crossing the road with a vehicle always speeding and very dangerous life for him was just a very easy challenge.

"Back order Pizza two baking pans, wrapped." After expressing his wish, Arsen sat down on one of the chairs available inside this store. 

While waiting, the man pulled out a flat object from behind his pocket. He played it with a serious look, like he was showing this shop customer that he was a serious man.

"This is the order." A waiter who worked at the store handed him the pizza that Arsen had ordered.

"Thank you." Arsen paid for the order with case money, after which he immediately took the pizza handed by the waiter with a haughty attitude that he always showed in public places. Almost all people who do not know who Arsen is, consider the man can not smile and arrogant.

Arsen got back into the car, the man turned on the engine of his car and took the car to the place where Nisa rented which had been the container for the woman so far.

Seconds per second had passed and left a past, Arsen the man had arrived in front of the rented page occupied by Nisa. A sense of uncertainty and want to turn back his car also appeared in the mind of the man. But just as he touched the steering wheel, a boy came from the front.

Arsen raised his eyebrows when he saw Gabriel was not in good times. The face and nose of the child was red, in his eyes there was a puddle that always slid soaked the little face of Gabriel. However, there was one object that caught his attention, however, behind the boy was a group of children the same age as Gabriel who was shouting until the sentence shouted by the group of children made Gabriel more tears.

"Gabriel the board doesn't exist!! Huuuuu!! You little prick, said my mother, your papa will never come back!!!...."

"Say my mother too, you are an illegitimate child. So your papa doesn't exist!!!"

"And you don't be so supportive will buy your papa a lot of toys as your papa. The proof is that Gabriel's not coming home, aren't you friends?"

"Yes. Ha ha ha," they answered compactly and laughed mockingly.

Gabriel who heard the insults of his friends stopped his footsteps. He closed his eyes letting the flow of tears continue to fall. The child was already feeling the heartache right with his friends who every day never absent insulting him, even not only the children who always say it but the parents also often come fair to insult him.  

The boy turned around and looked at the children his age with a horrible look. However, Gabriel's attempt to bully the children was unsuccessful. It was not the fear they had but rather the laughter that made Gabriel slightly bend his face.

"You are all evil!!! Mama said, Iel has papa kok, but papa again kelja far away so can not come Iel!!!" Shouted Gabriel did not accept when his friends mentioned he did not have a father.

"Ha ha ha. Look at him, he's still defending himself. Ha ha ha." Their laughter broke when Gabriel's scowling face was clearly plastered in their eyes.

While Arsen who was in the car and of course had watched everything became furious. What adds to Arsen's annoyance is that, even though not far from the group of children there are parents who stand there. But they just look at it, and worse yet they are seen also mocking Gabriel.

Unable to see the scene that hurt her heart, Arsen came out with a very, very angry expression. Every step of his foot was like a shock ready to tear down whatever was on earth. The people who were there stared at Arsen with interest who was ready to pounce on Arsen at any moment.

What a shock to the living beings who stood not far away when they saw Arsen approaching Gabriel and hugging the child for quite a long time. But, that was not what added to their shock. However, a word that was able to make the audience who was there immediately frightened and approached their respective children and brought them home.

"All of you know, I am Gabriel Ahmad's father!!!"
