Part 119 Alan Cha's

"Bi, wakeup! There's someone outside!" vin said, shaking Abhimanyu's body. The young man then slowly opened his eyes lazily. "What the hell, Vin?"

"There's someone outside!"

Hearing that sentence, Abi immediately glared, "Wake the others up!"

Vin runs into Allea and Ellea's room, while Abhimanyu peeks out of the window. He shook the curtains and watched the movement outside. There were about 10 people wearing all-black clothing, head coverings, and face masks. Not only that, there were bulletproof vests protecting their bodies. They wear very safe protection. "Who, huh?" asked Abhimanyu muttering to himself.

"Bi! Come on!" call Vin at the end of the door, there's Ellea and Allea there too. They came out of the room, then headed for the corridor that led to the back door. When the door opened, apparently the men had already intercepted them in all corners of the house. They're cornered. But, as someone walked closer, he removed his face mask. "Pump! Austin's men are coming here soon, we have to go right now!" ronal said and made them all relieved.

"God! I thought who!" said Vin pressing his chest.

"Ron's? Who the hell are they?" tanya Abhimanyu still put on a suspicious look.

"They were Wah Ching's plotters. Alan Cha told me to pick you up!" ronal said, he was agitated, kept staring back and around. "Come, hurry!"

Abi finally complied. They immediately left the place, passing through the main house earlier, but strangely he did not use the exit as when they entered the 3D painting yesterday. Ellea's forehead was wrinkled but Abi's handrails made her steps not stop.

"Where are we going, Ron?" ellea asked half a scream.

"Go from here! Where else is it?" cetus Ronal is leading the line. Abi, Vin, Ellea and Allea were in the middle of that army. They also continued to pay attention around, being alert if any enemies approached. Several rows of tall trees had already passed, their journey still had not found the end point. Ellea asked to stop for a moment.

"dither. I was tired," he said with a sigh, and held Abi's hand which had been holding her hand ever since. Ellea bowed, making Abi pity to see her. Abi crouched down and looked at Ellea's sweaty face. The young man turned his head, "Ron, rest awhile."

"Huh, yes I did!"

Allea and Vin come closer, and are worried about Ellea's situation. The girl glanced around.

"Ell, you're okay, right? Still strong path isn't it?" ask Allea, worried.

"There's something weird!" ellea said, whispering. Abi and Vin who heard that became alert and noticed around them. Afraid that this conversation will be heard.

"You mean?"

"If Ronal is Grandpa's man, why doesn't he go through the main house? Why go around this place and waste time. Though the open air like this is much more dangerous, right?" ellea asked for their opinion.

"Maybe the Austinites are waiting inside the house, so Ronal can't get through the main house" explained Allea trying to look at the answer to the question Ellea said earlier.

"But I feel weird. "

"We need to stay alert" Vin added.

Abhimanyu continued to stare in the glare of Ellea's eyes which were still filled with anxiety. He swept a sweat across Ellea's forehead, and made Ellea smile. "I'm okay. Sorry, yeah."

"Sst, why apologize? If you don't have a strong way, I'm just carrying, yes," said Abi tidying up Ellea's messy hair. Ellea looked at Abi and purposely made the young man's palm remain on her cheek. He feels calm. "No need, Biyu. I'm still strong" replied Ellea.

Vin felt glare in one corner above a building. The houses around them can still see the roof, because the buildings here are all made up high. He turned his head and looked for what was blinding his eyes in the dark tonight. In a few hours the sun will appear on the eastern horizon. But things were still quite dark now, resulting in their visibility being limited. There was a point above, Vin was surprised because there was a red dot on his body. It was a laser beam from a long-range firearm.

"Bi!" vin said as if he could no longer wart, he continued to pay attention to the red dot that was now moved to one of Ronal's colleagues. The four of them who first realized it, then slowly tried to get away, looking for a safe place, behind a tree whose trunk was large enough.

"Hey! What do you want?" ronal asked, pointing at the four of them who behaved in an unusual manner. Ronal slowly realized that there was danger lurking them. The red dot that was originally only one, now instantly changed more and more. Each body standing there is about 5 red dots. Ronal screamed for his men to hide, but at the same time, a flocking bullet was glued and made them razor-shaven. Although they wear bulletproof vests, but the feet, and hands can not be free from bullets that penetrate into the bone. Blood spurts everywhere, Abi and Vin take Allea and Ellea away to avoid the brutal attack. "Go back to the house!" said Vin.

As they run back home, Ellea pulls Abi's hand and makes them turn to Allea's main house. Vin and Allea followed, at a time like this they should not split. Enter the dark corridor, again. Their breathing is irregular, but at least they are still safe so far. At the end of the corridor, they stopped for a moment. Trying to sharpen your hearing, whether it is safe outside or vice versa.

"It looks safe" Vin said. Abi nodded in agreement to his opinion. When they came out, their hearts stopped beating. They were surrounded by people with each holding a weapon.

"Keyword!" one of them spoke Spanish.

"Nosotros somos una family." Hearing the words spoken from the girl's mouth, the gun was lowered from Allea's head.

"Come'on!" he said he walked first and asked them to follow him.

They left the house, escorted by heavily armed men to a car parked across the main road. They realize that this car has been here since yesterday, and now they know who the owner is. They came in and are now taken away.

"All right, where are we going?" whispered Ellea with a very reasonable question spoken in this precarious atmosphere. They were taken by strangers, and they knew where they were going. While they also did not know who the people who brought them were now. Friends or even opponents.

"What did you say, All?" now Vin is curious about the sentence that Allea said some time ago with Spanish. Allea brought her body closer to the three of them. "That's the phrase people used to say when they were going to enter our house. Grandpa always makes keywords and only the people can answer, so if there is an intruder, they will be caught immediately."

"Are they grandfather's men?" ask Ellea.

"Maybe."

"But Ronal?" asked Vin with his hands pointing at the place earlier.

"Eitherway. We can't trust other people. Although Ronal's explanation makes sense, but not necessarily he's really on Grandpa's side, right?" obviously Allea. And that sentence makes sense now.

"We'll see where we're going now."

The journey felt a bit long, because now the dawn has begun to be seen in the sky. The morning sunlight made their minds calm. All are silent with their own minds. Ellea wrapped her hands around Abhimanyu's arms, leaning on the young man's shoulder, staring at the scene at the window beside Abi. Silence not a word was spoken from their lips.

In the back seat, Vin and Allea were both staring at the same side, Allea leaned on Vin's arm despite not hugging the young man as Ellea. They began to enter a long street with a place surrounded by high and thick walls. The sharp wire was on top of the wall making the place difficult to enter.

The gate was opened, displaying a fairly spacious courtyard, with a well-groomed expanse of green grass. A large building is in the middle. Here, countless guards were scattered all over the point. The engine of the car was turned off, the driver and the person sitting in front were down. Passenger side doors were also opened from the outside. Two people looked the same as the others, lowered their heads as the four of them got out of the car. His hand allowed them to go inside immediately.

Someone appeared from within, a middle-aged woman that Allea was very familiar with. Allea's eyes sparkled as she looked at the woman ahead. "Aunt Darci!" he immediately ran over to her. They hugged like a child who had just returned home and now missed his mother. Allea thinks of Aunt Darci as her own mother. Darci, who has been caring for Allea since childhood, also considers this girl to be her child. His heartfelt affection, made Alan continue to employ him to take care of the grandson. "Where's grandfather?" ask Allea.

"Inside" said Darci with a smile, he turned to look at the three people behind Allea who slowly approached even with hesitant steps. Allea, conscious of her aunt's gaze, whispered, "It's Ellea, my twin sister," she said.

Darci looked at her now-grown little girl, "Yet you guys meet again."

____________

Go inside, be free of the guards. It seems like the guards are only outside the house. This room was big, even bigger than Allea's house earlier. Some displays that look expensive do show that the owner is a rich man. Same photo, here too. And a photo of Alan Cha that was affixed to the wall with the largest size of photos and other paintings. "That's grandpa!" show Allea trying to introduce Ellea.

Ellea smiled faintly, looking at the face of a man she was about to call grandfather, just like Allea. The sound of footsteps could be heard from within. Everyone stared at the direction the voice came from. "That's grandpa," said Darci staring into a corner with a curtain covering him in half.

The face they had just seen in the paintings and photos of this house, now appeared in real sight in front of them. The figure of Alan Cha who was the grandfather of Ellea and Allea was now in front of them. Allea smiled broadly, and hugged the man with a stick in her hand.

"Grandfather where have you been? Why don't you come, please, Allea?" sulk the girl with pursed lips.

Alan just smiled at his grandson's behavior. He stroked the tip of his head and looked at the other girl with the same face as Allea. "Ellea?" call Alan with a question that the owner of the name wants to convince him of. Allea took off a hug to her grandfather, ran a little to Ellea and pulled her closer. "Sir, this is Ellea."

Alan's eyes glazed over, he was seen trying hard to hold back his tears. Feeling homesick, guilt makes Alan can not dwell when he saw his other grandson. Her face was the same as Allea's, but she was different. They have a different appeal. And that's very much Alan's aware. He widened both of his hands, giving Ellea wide space to hug him. Without being told again, Ellea immediately hugged Alan without embarrassment and hesitated again. Their cries broke, not just the two of them. Allea was also absorbed in this grief. Alan opened one hand and welcomed his other grandson to join him. The three of them finally gathered again. Vin and Abhimanyu turned their heads in the other direction, because it felt like the scene in front of them would make their tears wriggle out. While Darci has swept away many times the tears that have fallen freely since a while ago. He was glad that Ellea was with them.

The table is full of food, they will have breakfast together. The sound of laughter started to echo throughout the room. Alan continued to widen his lips while listening to their stories one by one. Although he already knows a lot about Ellea, Abi, and Vin, but he still likes to hear them tell it repeatedly. Alan continued to place his men near Ellea even though he was not next to his grandson. Alan was always well informed about all of Ellea's activities. He even knew that Abi and his grandson had been in love for a long time. But since Adrian's death, his communications with his men have broken up. Austin actually acted quickly and made her lose the people she loved. Adrian and Ruth are one of his most trusted men, when the Austin attack occurred a few years ago, Alan deliberately told Adrian to take Ellea away. Because the situation at home is not conducive. He sent Adrian all the way to Indonesia, while taking care of his business there. Well, dark business. And Ellea doesn't know what her father's job is, Adrian. Adrian is a busy businessman.

"Then Ronal?" asked Abhimanyu, recalling the incident earlier.

Alan took a deep breath. "He was originally my man, my confidant. I told him to bring Ellea and Allea back here, but it turns out he conspired with Austin and betrayed."

Well, it's true. Do not carelessly put trust in others, because basically, humans are unstable creatures, now he can be the closest person we believe in, but someday, he said, they will slowly stab us deeply.
