ALVARO BETTING GIRL
184

"Frey, don't get close to him. How do you know that guy?" kriss said he felt angry and anxious because the person who destroyed his family and also his friendship is now back and targeting his son. 

At that time Kriss thought that Brandon was dead in the hands of Ben Elard but it turns out after a dozen years he heard the name again and unfortunately went straight from the mouth of his son. The danger alarm had certainly sounded in Kriss' head, he did not want any more such events at that time. He had enough in prison to pay for all his crimes, not for his son.

"This is Pi …."

One year ago ….

Frey had just walked out of the bookstore, he came straight to his car but someone from behind patted him on the shoulder. Frey turned around and raised next to his eyebrows from feeling unfamiliar with this black-clothed man. 

"Sorry, introduce my name Tora, my master has an interest with you. Can you come in for a minute? I guarantee your safety" said the man.

Although feeling strange, Frey followed and arrived in the car owned by the master who was meant by Tora. Frey feels foreign to meet a man who is almost the same age as Prayoga's grandfather, only this man looks a little younger and his appearance is also able to disguise his age.

The man smiled, "Don't be afraid, just call me Grandpa Brandon. My name is Brandon Elard," he said, which immediately made Frey reduce his level of vigilance because he knew this man must be the brother of his uncle – Ikram.

"Oh hi, Grandpa," said Frey.

Brandon smiled, but that sweet-looking smile was full of plans that Frey himself did not realize. "You seem to be big. Did you forget about me? When you were a toddler, you used to stay in my house" he said again and it was true that he used to hold Miranda and little Frey to threaten Kriss.

Frey was quite surprised and also felt bad because he did not remember it at all. It was long enough and even he had forgotten how he used to live with the Prayoga family.

Seeing Frey's reaction made Brandon smile, "You don't have to try to remember it because it happened when you were a toddler. Haah .. It's a pity that I had to leave you at that time because of them" Brandon said again and he began to get into his game.

"They?" ask Frey.

Brandon nods his head, he looks pusar towards Frey then he points towards his feet and Frey was surprised because this man turned out not to have one foot.

"That night all just happened. A dispute that eventually caused many lives to fall, including your mother. I still haven't forgotten how Ben and Genta came to attack until finally your mother who saw the bullet pointed towards Kriss, she confronted him and finally the bullet penetrated his vital organ and he died. I who tried to fight was attacked and eventually lost my leg. If Harist hadn't come in time to help me, I might have died at their hands. I don't know what my fault is with them. Maybe it's because they don't accept that I support your parents' relationship."

Frey frowned, he did not understand the story just now. And it makes no sense in his opinion. But that one missing leg could also prove that there is a part of the story that is true. Too bad Frey can't remember. 

Actually Frey harbored a deep trauma over the incident because everything happened in front of his eyes. His guts were read by Nurul and Alvaro so they did not waste time directly bringing Frey to a psychiatrist to help Frey out of his trauma. Until finally he recovered but he forgot some of his memories, especially the memories that traumatized him.

Only, Nurul and Alvaro still tell if Frey has biological parents and all this time Nurul and Alvaro always loved him so much that he felt there was nothing wrong with the Prayoga family.

"You're storytelling?" ask Frey who still does not believe he said.

Frey picked it up and said goodbye to leave. In the car, Frey was very curious. He wanted to ask his adoptive parents, but he was afraid to hurt them. The only one who could confirm the real answer was his papa and the old man did not want Frey to come see him.

His intention was to go home instead he turned his car in the other direction. Frey pulled over in a quiet place and he immediately opened the book. His eyes looked at each of the writings. She was very surprised because in the book there was so much outpouring of hearts of her mother where she said that she loved Alvaro very much and did not forget she also wrote about her pain when her husband – Kriss she still loves Nurul.

Of all that writing Frey became dizzy himself. He was confused about what was the relationship between his parents and his adoptive parents. He repeatedly muttered the word 'impossible' because all this he could not accept.

Not to forget there is also an additional story where Miranda said that all the events that happened to her came from the Prayoga family who continued to reject her until her parents cut off contact with her as a child. In the next sheet, it is suggested that Ben Elard has killed both parents Kriss Griffin because of the division of inheritance. While what Frey knew all this time the Elard family was so very fond of him.

"It doesn't make any sense!" frey then threw the book into the seat beside him.

Frey then drove back to go home with a bad feeling. Even at home he unknowingly does not care about Nurul's attention to him. He's still confused.

A few days later, he meets Uncle Bastian and the man recounts the problems between the Prayoga, Elard and Griffin families. Of course the story with their version. 

"You can't be stupid Frey, they're all fake. They don't love you sincerely. All because they tried to cover up the events of the past and avoid punishment. You should have avenged everything. Reply to the heartache of both your parents and your grandparents. You've been deceived by them, demon masked angels. My dad has lost one leg, your dad's in jail and your mom's dead. Then you? Are you just gonna shut up? Ah ... or have you loved them especially Aluna? You'd be a fool if you fell in love with that girl. Your family will be very angry in nature. Remember that Frey!"

Currently ….

Kriss clenched his hands tightly, he was furious at this moment. But fortunately his son is not easily instigated even though everything they try to entrap Frey along with them is perfect. 

"It's not like that, son. Don't trust them because they're the masterminds behind all this. Fortunately you are not fooled. The bad one here is papi. Remember this papi remark, you should not be easily instigated and keep believing in your parents now. They're good people and that's why I put you on them" Kriss said, then patting Frey on the shoulder.

"I'm getting dizzy Pi" said Frey, frustrated.

Kriss smiled, he understood because his son was very young. He was so easily instigated and ended tragically like this especially his son who was so young.

Soon the warden who was in charge of entering the room and reminded if the visiting time had been completed. Kriss and Frey stood up and hugged each other.

"Two more years papi will be out of prison. Oh yeah, if you want to know the real story you can ask the person you trust the most. Come to her, Daniyal Axelle Farezta. You know him, don't you?"

Frey is a little surprised because Uncle Axelle who lives far away is precisely he who must be met. And Kriss did choose Axelle, he knew Brandon and Bastian must be targeting his best friend's family that they would be watching and Kriss did not want any more victims. Axelle was the only witness to the night's events that could not have been the target of Brandon.

"Oh yes Pi, but is it true that my mother used to love Papi Varo and papi also love Mother Aina?" ask Frey.

Kriss replied with a smile, then patted Frey on the shoulder. "We failed once. And now papi hope you don't fail to reach your love. Believe what your heart says, go home."
