Stories About the Dark Past

Gavlin smilingly stared fixedly at Sarono's tense face waiting for Gavlin's reply, while Indri, sitting still, watched Gavlin.

"Yes, Sir. That's my picture." Gavlin said casually.

Indri was surprised, because Gavlin admitted, that the photo in the poster on the table was him. Sarono sighed.

"That's why, you were shot and seriously injured ?" ask Sarono.

"Yes, Sir. I was betrayed by someone I trusted so much." said Gavlin, with a disappointed face.

"Betrayed?" asked Sarono, astonished not to understand.

"At that time, I was chasing a serial killer, but, just as I was about to beat up that guy, the police shot me instead" Gavlin said.

"To my heartache, Gatot, the police commander just kept quiet, did not prevent his men who shot me, so I fell into the river" explained Gavlin bitterly.

"What is your relationship with Gatot, the police commander?" ask Sarono.

"He saved my life and my life when I was a kid, sir. Gatot took me to the hospital and orphanage, so I was adopted" Gavlin explained.

Indri was silent, he listened to Gavlin's explanation of the story about him, Sarono stared intently at Gavlin's face, he wanted to know more about Gavlin.

"That means, Gatot is hunting you until now?" ask Sarono seriously.

"Gatot is dead, sir." explains Gavlin.

"Dead?!" Sarono was shocked, as well as Indri.

"Yes, he killed Jafar, a serial killer" Gavlin said.

"That's why, some days I didn't come back here, because I solved my problem with Gatot and Maya, but, he was killed, and I buried him" Gavlin said, explain it seriously.

"Lantas, who's Maya?" ask Sarono.

"Looking son of Gatot, sir. She was adopted since childhood, Maya was a close friend of mine when I was a kid. And him, my girlfriend." Gavlin said.

Hearing Gavlin's words, Indri lowered his face, there was sadness in him, when he found out, Gavlin already had a girlfriend named Maya. Sarono glanced at Indri, he knew, his son was disappointed to know that Gavlin had a girlfriend, because, Sarono knew, Indri had feelings for Gavlin, but he was hidden.

"Lantas, why didn't you bring Maya here? Is not his father dead?" ask Sarono.

"Maya also died, sir." replied Gavlin, with a sad face explaining.

"Died? Why?!" ask Sarono in shock.

Indri was also surprised, he did not expect, Maya, Gavlin's girlfriend was dead, in the face of Gavlin's face, Indri saw the look on Gavlin's face sad when the story about Maya, his girlfriend who had died.

"Jafar wanted to shoot me, but, Maya stopped him, he became my shield and was shot, and then died" Gavlin said, soft and bitter.

Gavlin lowered her face, she held back her grief at the thought of Maya's death. Indri pity and concern for the grieving Gavlin.

"May you know why you're a police fugitive?" ask Sarono.

With heart and fear Gavlin was offended, Sarono asked nicely to Gavlin. Gavlin sighed, then, he stared fixedly at Sarono's face.

"Then, more than 18 years ago, my Father and Mother killed Jafar and his friends, their officials, and important people" Gavlin said, starting to tell the story.

"Father used to work in Bramantio and Jafar offices, as Finance Manager, you saw office fraud, money laundering, fictitious businesses and so on. In short, you do not agree with what Bram and Jafar did, you intend to report it to the police and prosecutors." explained Gavlin.

"Bram tried to persuade the Father, you do not want, he resigned, and chose to work as a street sweeper, Bram revenge, he was afraid, he was afraid, Mr. unpacking his crimes with Jafar and other business friends such as Wijaya and Guntur" explained Gavlin.

"Because of that, Father was killed, he was then framed and accused of being the rapist and killer of the song guide girl in the bar, in fact, Jafar who killed the girl." explained Gavlin, who was the one who killed the girl, hold back his growl during the story.

"And the mother, also killed Jafar, because he witnessed firsthand, Jafar killed his girlfriend inside his office." continued Gavlin's story.

"After that, Bram paid the residents of Rawas village, to burn Father's house. And when the residents burned down the house, I was with my sister and Maya was inside the house." Gavlin explained.

"We made it out and survived the house fire, only that I was separated from Maya. That's where Gatot saved me, and it turns out, Gatot also saved Maya, then made her a child" Gavlin explained.

"When I lived abroad and was adopted, I learned a lot about science, and martial arts, and I always remembered what happened in my childhood. Then, it came to my mind, to get revenge." Gavlin explained seriously.

"After I had a lot of money and capital, I went back to Indonesia, to start my revenge" Gavlin explained.

"One side I became a wax sculptor artist named Yanto, and on the other, I became Gavlin, who had been Bramantio's driver, to spy on him, but I was eventually fired by Bramantio, because he's not happy that I'm his personal driver." Gavlin explained.

"You are Yanto the famous candle maker?" ask Indri shocked.

"Yes, In." replied Gavlin.

"Cock different looks? I know Yanto the artist, he's famous, but, he doesn't look like you." Indri seriously noticed Gavlin's face.

"Because, when I was Yanto, I disguised In. I wear long fake hair, as well as a fake beard and mustache and my minus glasses." explains Gavlin.

"Yes, Yanto is like that" explained Indri.

"Of course, enough in. Please continue your story, son Gavlin." said Sarono.

"The point is I started to take revenge sir. One by one my Father's enemies killed, ranging from Guntur, Wijaya, all residents in the old village to Bram and Jafar I killed." said Gavlin explained.

"So, you are the perpetrator of the burning and slaughter of houses and residents of the old village?" ask Sarono.

"Yes, Sir. I did it, to avenge the actions of those citizens who burned down my house" Gavlin said.

"Before slaughtering and killing, I terrorized the villagers of Rawas, spreading fear to all of them." Gavlin explained.

"Don't you know?" ask Indri wonder.

"Many news, you had read in the newspaper, about the incident in the old village. Before the murder, the village often encountered the appearance of ghostly ghosts and other supernatural things. Almost a month people in the market always tell stories about the incident." explained Sarono.

"Oh." Let Indri understand.

"Yes, Sir. I made it all up, to terrorize them, to make them believe, if the village has ghosts, that way, I easily kill them, because they're already scared, and choose to stay in each other's homes." gavlin.

Sarono nodded his head in understanding and understanding, while Indri quietly bowed because he was reprimanded by his Father. Indri felt guilty for cutting off his father's conversation with Gavlin.

"Lantas, is your grudge now avenged son Gavlin?" sarono asked, with his serious and curious face.

"Not Sir. There are still some people left, and they are important people and have power and high positions in the government, they were behind Jafar and Bramantio, they have acquitted Jafar of the murder charge of my Father." explained Gavlin with a serious face.

Sarono was silent, for a moment, he thought, Indri looked at Gavlin's face, he felt pity and was concerned about what Gavlin had experienced when he was a child, Indri did not expect, he said, how miserable Gavlin's childhood used to be.

"Father silent, are you afraid of me knowing I'm a fugitive and a murderer?" ask Gavlin.

"Do I see you scared of you, son of Gavlin?" sarono asked, looking closely at Gavlin's face.

"No Sir. You used to think I saw, just, I wonder, why you arrived silent." said Gavlin.

"I again think, how heavy the burden that you carried when you were a child, where you had to see reality, the house was burned, and your father and mother were killed." explained Sarono.

"I again think, it's only natural that you hold such a great grudge, considering your suffering is so great." explained Sarono.

"Thank you, sir. You want to understand me." explained Gavlin, smiling happily.

"Yes, son Gavlin. I just pray, hopefully you can realize all your hopes and intentions, and immediately finish your grudge problem." explained Sarono.

"Yes, sir." replied Gavlin, smiling happily.

"Lantas, what are your plans for the future?" sarono asked in curiosity.

"Finding the whereabouts of my enemy's enemy, sir. To take revenge on all of them." Gavlin explained.

"Are they not working in his office? didn't you say they were important people and officials?" ask Sarono.

"Yes, Sir. I haven't investigated them, last I know, one of them was hiding" Gavlin said.

"And from Om Gatot, I know, if they are being investigated by the police about the murder of my father first, so they are hiding" Gavlin explained.

"Oh, like that." said Sarono, nodding in understanding.

"Yes, sir." said Gavlin.

"Sorry Sir. Maybe I won't stay here for long" Gavlin explained.

"Why?!" ask Indri.

Indri who instead asked, why Gavlin did not want to stay with them for long, Indri actually did not want Gavlin to leave, he wanted, Gavlin to stay with them, Gavlin stayed with them, so that he could always be close to Gavlin. However, Indri did not dare to tell the truth, he was ashamed of Gavlin, if he expressed his heart to Gavlin first.

"I don't want to involve Mr and Indri in my problems later" explained Gavlin.

"Involving what does it mean?" asked Sarono, not understanding.

"I am a fugitive, sir. Surely the police kept looking for my whereabouts, and I don't want to, the police can track me down and find me at Mr.'s house." Gavlin explained.

"Then the police came here to arrest me, and they will certainly arrest Mr. Indri, for assuming you are both my plotters, and the police must have accused you of deliberately hiding me and not telling the police about me." explains Gavlin, with a worried face.

Indri was speechless at Gavlin's explanation. While Sarono smiled looking at the face of Gavlin who looked worried to himself and Indri.

"When helping you and treating you, you know, you must have a problem, so that you get shot and seriously injured, you also see how fierce you are to beat the loan sharks who collect debts here" explained Sarono.

"And at that time, you started to think, are you one of the criminals, prisoners who fled, as you read in the newspaper and saw on television." Sarono explained.

"Kalopun is right, the police are hunting you, and you are ready with all the risks, because it has helped you, and let you stay in this house" Sarono explained.

"But I don't want anything to happen with you and Indri if I stay here, sir" Gavlin said seriously.

"What is it that Gavlin, Mr and Indri can take care of ourselves. You can stay here forever." said Sarono, smiling.

"Father is also not afraid, if the police finally find this house as your hiding place, then the police arrest Mr., you are ready to face it." said Sarono, really mean it.

Indri bowed silently, he glanced at his Father who spoke seriously with Gavlin. Gavlin was silent listening to all of Sarono's explanations.
