101. The Truth of the Year 2044

“Adrian?”  Airi quietly called out the name of her youngest son.

However, it is precisely the full face frustasilah shown by Adrian.

“Why?  Why are you just back now?  Just so you know, I don't need your whereabouts anymore!”  Adrian's words loudly accompanied by very warm tears very much implies a heartache.

“Adrian, relax.”  Syifa immediately ran and hugged her sister who looked so fragile.

Seeing this, both Andika and Airi were stunned for a moment.  They felt they deserved such treatment from their two children after their neglect of them both for fifteen years.

However, it was Professor Melisa who took the talk to relieve the tension of the parent-child relationship.

“Adrian, Syifa, give both of them a chance to give an explanation.”

“What more explanation do we need to listen to..” Adrian said angrily.  However, once witnessed the expression of suffering both parents, Adrian can only be reduced.

“Alright, I listen.  But don't hope that after I listen, I will forgive you.”  Said Adrian who although it looks harsh sentence, he said it so softly.

Thus, the two old couples began to tell what really happened in 2044 ago.

At that time, Danial and Litia, Kaiser's father and mother eventually discover their secret research progress which they cover as a game development research project.  But behind the scenes, they were actually researching on how to open the gate to the virtual world.

However, there were few problems in their research.  They still could not find the right coefficient to stabilize the gate that connected the two worlds.  Be they ask for advice from professors they trust the most who are also their former favorite lecturer, Professor Indro Nuryono.

However, for unknown reasons, a letter they sent that contained an invitation from both of them to Professor Indro Nuryono to tell their secret research, which was, it never reached the hands of Professor Indro Nuryono until the end of his life.

Know-know-\, the letter is actually in the hands of the demon organization ******.  Be Danial and Litia become the target of these otherworldly demons who sneak among humanity to seize the results of their research.

And at that time, the EDEN organization faked their deaths so that they would avoid being chased by otherworldly demons.

Hearing what Andika and Airi said, Kaiser could not hold back his tears.

“So, my father and mother are still alive?”  Kaiser asked hopefully anxiously.

Responding to that, Airi then smiled while saying, “Yes, they are still living healthy wal aviat.”

But suddenly Airi's expression changed.  But before Airi could continue her words, Andika was the one who continued,

“Just like we left our family so as not to be targeted by the organization *****\, Danial and Litia also decided to leave you two to your grandmother to be safe from distress.  Who would have thought\, it is you yourself who are involved in this matter.  I guess\, I should ask for a satisfactory explanation after this\, Melisa.”

Andika said as she looked towards Professor Melisa.

“Enough with all that shit!  If you are so worried about us, you should protect us by our side, instead of getting divorced and then leaving us abroad.”  Adrian shouted loudly in anger at his parents.

“Oh, regarding the divorce..” Continued Andika who seemed hesitant to continue her words.

“What do Papa and Mama mean by not getting divorced?”  Hearing this, Syifa could not help her curiosity, then asked.

“We are simply divorced through a document to have our family card removed to prevent the organization ****** find traces of our relationship with you.”  Andika answered the question of her eldest daughter.

“Lantas should have been at Kak Faridh's funeral.”  Syifa.

“On that, we are actually coming.  We were actually so sad back then and almost came up to you to hug the two of you, it's just that.” Airi stopped in the middle of his speech.

“Organization ****** damned it is still trying to track our footprint.”  And it was Andika who continued her words.

“Originally you know, our lives have been so hard since your departure.  Grandfather died two years after your departure, followed by Grandma's departure a year later.  We had a hard time after that.  If it wasn't for the help of Grandpa's best friend, Grandpa Lucias and Grandma Nana back then, I don't know what would have happened to us.  Even Kak Faridh who was still young at that time, was forced to work part-time in order to make an additional living for us.”

Adrian was no longer able to hide the heart of his heart that had to live in poverty in a house that looked quite magnificent after his parents left them who were still small.

“What are you saying, Adrian?  Have we not left enough inheritance to you?  Also what about the monthly money we send alternately every month?”  Airi asked in astonishment as she did not realize it could happen at all.

“Dad, Mother, we don't understand how you were when you were little.  But try you think what would happen if a little child was left with a huge legacy?”  Syifa asked a question to her father and mother.

“What do you mean, Syifa?”

“Hmmm?”

Both Airi and Andika seemed confused by Syifa's question.  How could Airi not be able to understand it, as a daughter Shinomiya, she had been raised by never once involved in the details of family household affairs because everything was left to the servants.

Airi was absolutely never understood how greedy someone because of money due to him so far who just continue to be comfortable enjoying his position above without having to see the competition of the people below him in seeking sustenance, including after he married Andika who is also a conglomerate.

As for Andika, the heir of the Setiabudi group who is always scattered with treasures, is not much different from Airi.  He also did not understand at all about the greed of those who licked under the feet of his father, Mr. Suwirno, all this time.

In the end, the abundant wealth of the Setiabudi family that should be the life support that means a lot to his children, he said, lost was drained just like that after Grandpa Suwirno's death by the parasites claiming to be the family.  Funnily enough, none of this was realized either by Andika, nor by Airi who had been too focused on their revenge for their most precious friend.

Therefore, they feel very sorry for their decision to leave their children behind who they think can be strong as they are strong in taking care of themselves.

In fact, at that time they were still children who still needed a place to shelter.

What makes their hearts sicker is that their monthly remittances for their children sometimes still have to be cruelly seized by children from their distant relatives.

It was nothing but to bully the three unfortunate children that caused their children without their knowledge to have to grow up in deprivation, he said, while their father and mother were conglomerates and still live until then with a lot of wealth abroad.

They won't stay silent for that.  They will reclaim what was taken from their children, even though it is just a snack buyer for those who have nothing from their total wealth both for Airi and for Andika who are successful in various businesses in all fields in various countries.

They were only unwilling if the inheritance from Andika's father that was supposed to be reserved for the welfare of her son and daughter was enjoyed by the rats from the branch family and enjoyed a luxurious life with it while laughing at the sight the misery of their sons and daughters.

However, let's not discuss it in detail in this novel, because this is not a novel about family intrigue, but a fantasy novel in the genre of sci-fi.
