"Who are my parents? And if they're still around, where are they right now?"
DEG.
That question was enough to keep Garwig quiet and silent for a few seconds. He was quite confused to answer and explain it, because it was impossible for him to make up a story or answer with a false answer about it.
"Why?" berlin asked again when he found Garwig was silent and daydreaming for a while.
"Ah, there's nothing. I'll give you the answer to your question" said Garwig shaking her head to wake up from the daydream.
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't told you about it all day, and maybe you'd forgotten your memories of it" Garwig said, looking down at her.
"Better, now you're coming with me, and I'll give you the answer," Garwig asked later to Berlin.
Berlin also immediately agreed to the invitation because he really wanted to know about his parents. Memories of his parents are lost along with other memories. So he could not remember what the faces of his parents looked like, and even the names of his parents.

At 14:00 p.m.
While on his way in a private car owned by Garwig. Berlin wonders where he will be taken. The car drove steadily Northwest of the city and left the downtown area.
"Maybe you're confused right now where I'm taking you. Obviously, I can't explain it without showing both of your parents" Garwig said, continuing to focus on driving.
Shortly after, Berlin arrived at a place that was very familiar to him. In a cemetery that is located quite close to the edge of the city. See the place he visited. Berlin already knew and had guessed what the answer to that question was.
Garwig walked through the cobblestone streets and tombs, followed by Berlin behind him. They both continued walking up to two tombs located in different places from other tombs.
The two tombs are located on a small hill in the middle of a small lake in the cemetery. To get there, Garwig and Berlin must pass through the red bridge.
"This tomb is the tomb of both your parents, Berlin. They are your parents" said Garwig when he arrived in front of the two tombs with Berlin.
"Axel Gates" and "Alison Gates". The two names were engraved on the two tombstones on the tomb very clearly.
"They've been gone since you were a child, Berlin" Garwig told Berlin, who appeared to be watching over his parents' graves.
Suddenly Berlin's eyes glazed over as he looked at the tomb of his parents, and heard what Garwig had said. But on the other hand he felt happy because he could find out who his parents really were.
"Can you tell me all about my parents? I want to know" said Berlin and then smiled faintly.
Garwig told Berlin all or everything about Axel Gates and Alison Gates, "in my opinion, they are the perfect couple" he said.
"Your mother Alison is a very beautiful, kind, gentle woman, and a cheerful person."
"While your father Axel was a handsome man, cold, kind, and perhaps a little harsh to others. And maybe also .. all those traits are down on you, including the good looks she has, Berlin."
"Both of your parents are great people, they are both very important people to this city. Thanks to them, the economy and everything in the city is stable and balanced."
"Important person?" cetus Berlin was confused by the intent of those words.
"Yes, they are both important people, and all the people respect them" Garwig said.
"The Axel name in your last name was derived from your father, Berlin. And it seems not only to be his name, but also his nature and greatness and good looks."
"While the Berlin name on your first name is the wish of your mother Alison. Your mother had attended one of the universities in Germany, and was obsessed with the German capital. So he put Berlin's name on you."
Berlin smiled to himself when he heard all about his parents from Garwig. Garwig told Axel and Alison everything she knew about him.
"But I'm still confused, about ... My parents who became .. that very important person," Berlin chirped wondering.
From everything Garwig said at the time. Berlin is still confused by the intent of his parents being 'important' to the city community.
"Then ...take this with me, I will explain it and also tell you about how important your parents are to this city" Garwig replied.

After the funeral. Garwig also took Berlin to go somewhere. And it turns out that place is Gates' residence.
"What's up here?" tanya Berlin got out of the car with Garwig.
"That's it, follow me!" pinta Garwig then walked into the residence.
Passing through the living room, living room, and then the family room. After passing through the three important rooms, Berlin also followed Garwig through the hallway located at the back of the house.
Throughout the hall there are many rooms that turned out to be rooms. The rooms are more than 10 rooms. Just this time Berlin saw all those rooms and this hallway.
After going through the hallway, there is another family room, and at the end of the family room there is a room. The room looked very different from the others. The door of the room is brown and looks very luxurious compared to other room doors. At the door was writing.
"Gates?" berlin murmured to read the inscription engraved on the door.
Without lingering, Garwig opened the door of the room and showed it to Berlin.
When you look at the contents of the room. Berlin is quite stunned. His tears seemed to want to drip but he held it after knowing some photos located on one of the tables next to a very spacious bed.
"Are they ... both my parents?" chirps Berlin when you see a photo of a man and woman side by side on top of a small table located next to the mattress.
Garwig was quite surprised when Berlin asked that. Because Berlin should not know what the faces of his parents.
"Yes, and I'll tell you everything here" Garwig replied.
"Tell me, I want to hear it!" sahut Berlin sat on the edge of the bed looking at pictures of his parents. Garwig, he told it.
"22 years ago, your parents were elected mayor of this city. They get the most votes from the whole community that supports them."
"The former three regions, namely Paletown, Shandy Shell, and Metro City, did not become a single government and also quite often there were conflicts about the territorial claims."
"But, thanks to your parents, these three regions can be peaceful and agree to become one. And they both are more and more favored by the people."
"Then, what happened? Why do you look so sad?" sahut Berlin turned his head and looked curiously at Garwig beside him.
"Do you want me to continue?" sahut Garwig asked.
"Yes, I want to know!" pinta Berlin and stared with a pleading gaze at Garwig.
Seemed forced, Garwig continued. "Just two years after they both took office, and after everything they achieved during their tenure. Suddenly a terrible political tragedy happened and befell them both."
"Tragedy?" Berlin was quite surprised and increasingly curious about what happened.
"This house .. was attacked in the middle of the night .. by a group of armed men. That group of people killed the mayor's guards, some members of the Gates family, and that includes both of your parents who died in this room, too," garwig said with teary eyes and seemed to no longer want to remember the incident.
"They died protecting you, who was a 10-month-old baby at the time" he continued, sighing quite heavily.
Berlin was stunned and speechless when he heard what Garwig said to him. "Protect me ...?" berlin muttered with teary eyes after hearing what Garwig said. His breathing suddenly trembled sobbing and felt unexpected with what Garwig said.
Garwig stopped the story knowing that she had made Berlin shed tears. He approached and embraced the man beside him. "I shouldn't have told you that" he said as he hugged and calmed Berlin.
Berlin shook his head and said, "it's okay, and I should have known as a child."
"Can they see me now?" berlin then asked while taking photos of his parents and looking at the photo.
"They must have seen you all this time" Garwig replied.
"Then, are they disappointed in me? Because .... all this time .. I even became a criminal," continued Berlin again asked and bowed softly.
Garwig embraces Berlin next to her and says, "it's never too late to change, and you can certainly change as long as there's a desire to change."
"Did they want me to change?" berlin thought about it.
"Maybe it's not only the two of them who want it, but Nadia might as well expect it from you, and maybe the people around you want the same thing, too," garwig told Berlin, looking at a picture of his parents in his hand.
Berlin smiled as he listened to it coming out of Garwig's mouth. "Oh yeah ...?" he muttered and then smiled happily.
"Can you tell me more about all my parents? Or tell me about my childhood that I don't remember!" pinta Berlin is back and looks very enthusiastic about it. After being sad, he put on a very cheerful face, and can make Garwig feel that he is now back facing the little Berlin he knows.
"Alright, I'll tell you everything while walking around the house" Garwig replied.
Berlin walked out of the room feeling sad but also relieved to know everything. He now walks around Garwig's yard, listening to Garwig tell him about himself as a child.
After knowing all about what he had forgotten. Berlin felt quite relieved and felt that the search for answers to all the questions in his head had now been paid and found.

At 18:00 p.m.
After a very long time Berlin found out what he should have known, and finally got the answers to all his questions. Berlin had to return home because it had been too long as well, and on the other hand Garwig also had to return to duty soon.
Kreekk ..!!!
When Berlin opened the door. He was immediately greeted by Nadia who put on a cheerful face as usual despite still sitting in a wheelchair.
"Welcome back!" nadia then smiled sweetly to welcome Berlin.
Berlin smiled when he heard the word "welcome" from his lover. Suddenly Berlin sat in front of Nadia and immediately hugged Nadia who was sitting in a wheelchair.
DRAPING.
"Eh?" Nadia was quite surprised by Berlin's slightly strange attitude. But he was happy when Berlin hugged him, and let Berlin embrace him as much as he could.
"Did something happen?" nadia's soft whisper in Berlin's ear as she hugged.
Berlin shook his head. He took off the hug and said, "but there's something I want to tell you." He looked nervous because he was still carried away by the atmosphere before.
Nadia smiled sweetly and then said, "i'll wait for you to tell a story, and don't make me curious, yes!"
"How about we have dinner first?" nadia reached out with the intention of taking Berlin to the dining room.
Berlin nodded and immediately clasped his soft hand and said, "ah, I'm hungry!" he pushed Nadia's wheelchair into the dining room.
"I've been dying to have dinner with you!" nadia Sahut.
"Sorry, you waited a long time, huh?" berlin apologized.
"It's okay. You must have gotten something very important to you, right? So it doesn't matter that I have to wait," Nadia said when she reached the dining room and moved to sit in her dining chair.
"Yes, there are many important things about me that were forgotten and that I have just rediscovered" Berlin murmured and then heaved a sigh of relief and smiled faintly on his own.
On the dining table there are already some very delicious dining menu, and the menus are Berlin's favorite dining menu.
"Gee ...! You're good at cooking, aren't you?" goda Berlin when taking his plates and cutlery.
Nadia just smiled sweetly and blushed a little when she got the compliment. "Here you go, we better eat soon! Otherwise the food will soon be cold" Nadia pinta.
Berlin also immediately ate the food menu with Nadia. After dinner is over. He had just told about many things about himself that he had just known from Garwig to Nadia, one of which was about his childhood.
Berlin also recounted the things in his childhood that he knew from Garwig to Nadia. Nadia seemed very enthusiastic to hear the story. He seemed to be happy when Berlin also looked very happy.
