Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
The Murder Tragedy? #55

After work or work all day. Finally it was time for Prawira to rest. In the evening. He decided to visit Gates' residence before returning home.

The situation along the way in the middle of the city is not too crowded, because indeed the day has begun towards night. Local time showed exactly ten p.m.

Arriving at Gates's House. Prawira got down from her parked car in the yard, and then walked into the spacious house.

"Not locked?" muttered Prawira confused and wondered when pulling the handle of the entrance of the house. He always locked this residence, and the keys of the residence were only owned by the people he chose, especially by members of the Gates family.

When walking through the living room to the family room is very spacious. Prawira felt that someone had entered this residence right before her.

KleeK ...!!

Suddenly there was the sound of an open door coming from the main room. Prawira, who heard this, spontaneously picked up a gun hanging from the holster in her belt. With a slow step, he passed through a dark passageway that consisted of several rooms.

"Who?! Raise your hands!" prawira snapped firmly when she found a man standing behind her in front of the main room. The situation was dark enough that the visibility Prawira had was quite minimal and could not recognize the man before her.

The man turned around when he heard Prawira's voice and said, "um .. This is me, Prawira," he said, raising both hands.

Prawira lowered his firearm's stump, and slightly shifted to the wall and turned on the light through a switch there.

"Gosh, sorry, I can't see you," Prawira said, brandishing her pistol back when she found out the man was Berlin.

Berlin laughed and said, "calm down! I can't rob my own family's house, really." He lowered both his hands.

"What are you doing here? What makes you come all night like this?" prawira asked with a glance, looking at the door of the main room that opened right behind Berlin.

"Last afternoon I went to my parents' grave, and I don't know why .. I thought I wanted to visit this room," replied Berlin, turning and looking into the spacious main room. His eyes were glazed as he looked at the room, and it happened not just once or twice.

Prawira only smiled faintly at the answer. For him it was only natural that Berlin wanted to visit the room. Because it was a room belonging to both Berlin parents, as well as Berlin's own room when he was a baby.

"Prawira, there's something I want to ask you," said Berlin, staring intently at the man in front of him.

"Ask what?" sahut Prawira's.

Berlin again walked into the room, followed by Prawira behind him. He stopped his steps right in front of a small table beside the bed. Without further ado, Berlin opened the desk drawer and picked up a brown book stored there.

When Berlin opened the book. He found a small flash stored in it. "Can you explain what this thing is?" tanya Berlin took the flash.

But Prawira immediately fell silent and it was difficult to talk anything about it. He seemed confused to have to answer the question that was thrown.

"Please tell me, Uncle!" Berlin insisted on wanting to know. Plus before Prawira came, he had read the contents of the book. The book contains a chronological account of the murder tragedy that occurred in this room. Tragedy in which both of his parents were tragically killed inside this room.

Prawira was stifled when she heard the call Berlin had used for her. Indirectly, he suddenly recalled some memories of 19 years ago when Berlin was four years old. He often heard the call coming out of Berlin's mouth as a child.

"Has there been anything hidden about the tragedy from me?" Berlin let out a heavy sigh, before then walking out of the room with the flash in his hand.

Prawira just stood there. He absolutely could not bear if until Berlin knew about the contents of the data from the flash.

"You, Gates. Aren't you satisfied with taking away all the memories of my childhood in this family? You let me wake up at the age of 17 confused, not knowing where my own origin is, and at that time I did not know, even then I was confused where my family was."

Berlin stopped his steps when he got to the door of the main room, and then spoke a few sentences before leaving.

***

Arriving at his private residence. Berlin immediately rushed slowly towards the second room on the top floor. He really noticed every step of his foot, because he did not want to wake Nadia who seemed to have fallen asleep in the first room.

The room was not too big, but it was also not too small. The room is located right next to the room used by Berlin and his wife. Because this room is not too used for now. Berlin used this room as a place where he stored some electronic objects such as mobile phones and laptops.

Berlin immediately used a laptop located on a desk in the room. It seems that Berlin is very curious to know what data is stored in the flash he brought from the Gates Residence.

When opening the contents of files stored on the flash through his laptop. He only found a data that was a videotape. He found no other data in the file. That's the only tape he found.

Out of curiosity and curiosity so high. Berlin opened and watched the stored footage. Apparently the footage was a snippet of footage taken from a surveillance camera attached to a corner of the living room of the Gates Residence.

"What ... happened?" berlin muttered confused by the content of the video footage he saw. The footage showed a number of people dressed in all black running through the attached surveillance cameras. The people shown through the video footage also appeared to be armed with fire.

Berlin's eyes did not blink at all. Especially when he saw the men shooting blindly inside the residence. Plus he caught the figure of a man who made his heart fret. He did not know who the man was, because indeed in the video recording was not too clear and dark. But he felt that his heart knew the man.

The man in the tape was dragged forcibly by another man in all-black clothes out of the main room. He also appeared to be putting up a fight when the gunmen were about to rush into the room. But in the midst of his resistance only by using his bare hands. Guns or firearms carried by the men immediately shot the man, and then penetrated into the main room.

After all that brief incident. The video footage that Berlin witnessed immediately came to a halt, because it was very short in duration.

Berlin was instantly speechless with suddenly teary eyes. His heart was completely restless and shattered after seeing the surveillance footage. His chest felt a little tight all of a sudden.

KleeK ...!!

"Darling, are you okay? You ... Why are you crying?" Nadia suddenly opened the door of the room and saw Berlin's teary eyes.

Spontaneous Berlin instantly closed his laptop and rubbed his eyes, "who's crying? Coincidentally ... My eyes suddenly hurt, probably because I was already very sleepy."

Berlin immediately smiled and looked quite imposing that smile. He then moved out of his chair, and invited his wife to return to the room. The false expression remained, until Nadia fell asleep again when she was in her room.

When Nadia fell asleep. Berlin is still awake. He sat on the edge of the bed, and at that time he received a message via his cellphone from Prawira. The message said, "I know you must have seen the contents of the flash, and maybe you're guessing whether the footage in it is a recording that records the events or tragedies that befell your parents."

"And if you are looking for or asking the answer, then the answer is. I can and am ready to explain it at our next meeting, Berlin."

After reading the message. Berlin suddenly felt weak. He put his phone on a small table right next to the bed, and then lay his body right on the side of Nadia who was fast asleep.

"Whoever, your parachute almost always manages to treat my mood," murmured Berlin by itself. He looked at the beautiful face of the wife who was sleeping soundly and smiled at her. He even rubbed the cheeks of the woman.

"Hmm? Kok ... You haven't slept, anyway?" muttered Nadia who suddenly woke up a little due to the touch given by Berlin.

"It's just going to bed, baby." Berlin smiled in response. She slowly hugged Nadia's body under the blanket so gently and sincerely. Plus one of his hands can not be silent when on the stomach of the wife's. He can feel a little movement coming from the stomach of the wife who is pregnant.

"Honey, if we're sleeping, does our baby sleep too?" berlin chirps with one hand still stroking the belly of the woman.

"Berlin, your question is ridiculous." Nadia answered him in a very soft tone, before finally going back to sleep again. While Berlin only laughed a little after hearing the answer from the wife.
