Bento: The Real Bright Star
The Mystery of the Betrand Accident !

~ Author's POV ~

Because he could not bear to see the atmosphere that was so very stressful, Thoriq also opened his voice...

" Betrand...., what if we go to the park near this hospital ? " he asked as he stroked the head of his best friend's sister.

" Well... Good idea, brother ! What, Betrand want to ? " tymphal Aulia.

" Mau Kak" he replied with a faint smile.

" good. Come deck...! " said Aulia while helping her sister sit in a wheelchair, while her infusion fluid was held by Thoriq.

After that, Aulia slowly pushed her sister's wheelchair towards the hospital garden.

A few minutes later a very cool air hit their skin. They stopped in front of a fountain not far from where they were standing.

The small figure of Betrand looks enthusiastically staring at the fountain, seeing the beautiful scenery that immediately spoils his eyes, he became reminded of his sister's advice some time ago about all the little things that were so simple that he wanted, Betrand took many lessons behind them.

On the other side...

Thoriq was engrossed in his thoughts, he was very confused by all the events that had befallen his best friend's sister. He thought it was nothing ordinary, and Thoriq knew Betrand's attitude even though he wasn't his brother.

Because it could not stand the curiosity that raged in his head, Thoriq slowly pulled Aulia a little away from Betrand who was busy looking at the beautiful panorama of the hospital garden.

" What's the matter Riq ? " Aulia felt a little shocked by the treatment of Thoriq who suddenly pulled her.

" I'm sorry Ul, I want to talk to you for a minute ! This is very important, especially regarding your sister " replied Thoriq with a serious look at his best friend.

" Oh yeah, why Riq ? " reply Aulia curiously.

" Do you feel something strange, with all the events that have happened to Betrand ? " ask Thoriq quietly while occasionally turning to Betrand.

Aulia looked at her best friend's eyeballs very seriously and seemed to be panicking with all the unnatural things.

Aulia was silent for quite a while. Deep down, he confirmed the words of his friend...

' It turns out that Thoriq also understand the strangeness ' Inner Aulia while looking at her sister who is still engrossed with what she saw in the park.

Slowly, Aulia answered Thoriq's question...

" Yes Riq, I also feel something strange. Yep... It felt like the accident that hit Betrand was unnatural ! Especially after hearing the word mbak - mbak yesterday if Betrand ngamen. It's weird, isn't it ? "

" Truly Ul "timpal Thoriq

Aulia just nodded.

" So the plan was to ask Betrand about it. Maybe he still remembers. What do you think Ul ? " cetus Thoriq.

" No problem Riq "typical Aulia.

🌈🌈🌈

Then they approached Betrand...

" It's so exciting to see the view ! " said Aulia while stroking her sister's cheek.

Betrand just smiled as he held the hand of the elder brother.

Aulia was silent for a moment, trying to catch her breath so that she could ask her sister smoothly.

A few seconds later...

Slowly Aulia held her sister's hand gently, and she said...

" Betrand, sister asked Dek. " pause Aulia with heart - heart.

Betrand turned his head slowly, then answered the brother's question...

" Yes Brother "

Aulia and Thoriq looked at each other, and Aulia looked into the eyes of her brother and asked...

" Betrand still remember, what happened before the day of the Betrand crash ? " ask Aulia while holding her sister's cheek gently.

Betrand looked at his brother like he was remembering something. Then he innocently answered the question of the Big Brother...

Oh no...!

The pain was very stabbing in his head, even though Betrand still remembered the incident that had made him wretched like that.

Slowly, he recounted all that and continued to try to remember perfectly the events after events that made him very miserable.

~ Flashback On ~

Not as usual, on that day Betrand had 4 days to go to school alone without the company of the Big Brother.

Actually that day if he wanted to, Betrand didn't have to go to school. Bi Surti had told him that he would return home because his son was sick and he also invited Betrand, but only Betrand would not.

💙💙💙

" Betrand went to school first huh Bi "he said slowly while kissing Bi Surti's hand.

" Yes Den...Den Betrand really don't want to go with Auntie ? " ask Bi Surti with a worried tone.

Actually, he was worried that there would be no one to take care of Betrand, Bi Surti was also afraid that Betrand would get unpleasant treatment from both parents.

" No need to Bi ! Betrand was still in school " answered Betrand innocently.

Bi Surti just fell silent while looking at his master's son with a pushy look.

Shortly thereafter...

" Have Bi, don't worry ! I will take care of Betrand ! " said Silvy, Mother of Betrand.

" Seriously Mrs ? "

" Yes I am serious ! " reply with Silvy with a smile.

Although it is fairly unusual, but Bi Surti believes - just trust with Mother Betrand. He even assumed that Silvy had begun to give affection for his son.

On the other side...

Betrand immediately smiled faintly when he heard her Mother's conversation with Bi Surti.

Innocently, he immediately approached his mother...

" LADY...! " call him softly.

" Eh Betrand, here baby !" welcome Silvy and hug her son.

Betrand smiled happily, he felt really peaceful in the arms of the Mother he had long been waiting for.

Really poor boy...!

He did not know that behind the Mother's attention, only the attention and affection that was full of falsehoods !

Behind the embrace that felt very warm to his body, Betrand did not see the smile of the Mother who was very cynical and full of hatred.

A sweet word came out of Silvy's mouth as he had realized all the wrongs he had done to Betrand.

With that masked face, with words that pura - pura softened - softened he held the smooth cheeks of his son...

" Betrand is going to school ! " silvy said with a big smile as she stroked Betrand's head.

" Yes Mother ! " return Betrand then kissed the hand of the Mother.

With small steps, he walked outside the house. Sometimes he turned his head, looking at the Mother who smiled widely while looking at him.

Along the way to school, the moment of saying goodbye continues to ring - ngiang in his mind. Sometimes Betrand smiled wryly while humming along the sidewalk that led to his school.

Maybe he was so happy that he didn't realize there were two masked men following his footsteps. With a small hum, Betrand turned into the hallway that is now not far from the school.

The hallway was very quiet, there was only him there.

Oh no...! Betrand was not alone, the two masked men also followed him and prepared to launch the action to Betrand.

As he was in a careless state, swiftly one of the men drugged Betrand. Betrand tried to release the man's burly hands that covered his mouth and nose. But whatever the power, the strength of the two men was extremely strong. Betrand struggling, he wanted to try shouting but couldn't ! Shortly thereafter, Betrand was finally unconscious due to the drug.

After that, he did not remember anything else !
