As Alvin brings Eve in, Kellen sits listless. He thought about the punishment his mother would give him if he knew that his son was doing the thing he hated the most.
Nayla who continues to warn Kellen not to have a vengeful nature that will actually harm others and herself as if only considered mere nonsense. Moreover, the daddy who once said the punishment must be received by anyone who has a mistake, obviously making his guts instantly shrivel.
Regrets seem meaningless.
"Geez, why is this?" asked Nuri as she passed by in the middle room.
"Please get me a glass of water and Nur's food, I'll take Eve up"
"Good sir"
With a nervous step, Nuri headed towards the Kitchen.
While Alvin climbed the stairs and took Eve into Kellen's room.
"Let's sit down first, son" Alvin ordered Eve to sit on the edge of the bed.
His condition is really concerning. Her face was pale and pale, indicating that she was terrified. His body was limp and trembling as if he had not eaten and drank for days.
As soon as Eve sat down, Alvin pulled out a blanket to cover the cold part of the leg to keep it a little warm.
The man then pulled out a chair and placed it beside the bed for him to sit on.
"Don't be afraid Ve, there's an uncle here, there's a genma too"
Hearing Alvin's words, Eve immediately brought together her neutrals, as if glaring in earnest to his uncle's words. As their sight met the reflect of the clear grains falling from the eye rim.
"Uncle will protect you, don't be afraid, okay!"
Swallowed, before then nodding.
"Don't cry, later if Genma knows, it must be sad genma"
"Miss, let's eat first" Nuri said from behind Alvin's back.
Alvin got up, and invited Nuri to sit down.
"Sit here Nur, and please bribe Eve"
"Yes, sir" he said, then sat down. "Feed first non"
One by one, the mouthfuls went into Eve's mouth, until at the last feed Nuri put a glass of clear water in her mouth.
"Mother's asleep Nur?"
"It's sir"
Alvin's eye reflexes glanced at the clock that was almost ten in the night.
"Sit down for a while, no, I return this plate to the kitchen, later I return again ready for warm water for a bath"
Just about to get up, Eve held back Nuri's arm. Automatic pair of Netra Nuri scanned Eve's hand on her arm.
"It needs something non?"
Eve shook with the circle that continued to flow rapidly. His breath snorted withstanding the sobs. The next second he hugged the ART tightly as if he was spilling everything, fear, anxiety, and other confusion.
Alvin who was still standing nearby immediately threw his face in the other direction as if he could not bear to see the scene in front of him that was so beautiful.
"Silence non" comfort Nuri while rubbing her back.
There was not a single word that Eve was able to put out. Just a stuffing that sounds so heartbreaking.
In addition to Alvin who was filled with many questions, Nuri also felt very curious about what happened to her young lady.
I just cried to see Eve's condition, then what about Sister Nay?
How could Kellen have been so cruel to his wife, when she always treated her sisters, Zea, Esther, and Astara so tenderly and affectionately?
He who never hurt Nay, why would that hurt Eve?
What's wrong with the kid?
What's Eve's side of him?
Does Kellen feel that Eve has ruined her future because we set her up?
Because Eve has to be his wife, the woman he doesn't love?
Your attitude is really outrageous, son?
Alvin was impregnated with eyes that suddenly warmed and faded.
The man took a deep breath as he stood in front of the window. His pair of neutrals stared deep into the glittering lights of the night, while his hands entered into the pockets of his pants.
He still could not believe if Kellen had locked Eve in a warehouse with no lights on. I don't know since when he locked Eve was not spared Alvin's thought.
So late with a sad daydream, Alvin until unconscious if Nuri had gone down and went back up to Eve's room.
Satisfied with the behavior of his nephew, the man restored his hair slowly, then stepped down the stairs to the workroom.
In the workspace, there is already Kellen with a body condition that highlights tired, but it does not make Alvin pity.
Alvin puts himself in the chair, while Kellen sits at his desk.
No word, no movement. All Alvin did was remain silent with his eyes gleaming red staring fully in the face of the nephew who was like his own son. His back rested on the back of the chair while his two hands fused under the chin.
The passing gaze was minute. Until he finally made a sound.
"You human or not El?" ask Alvin sarcastically.
Silent.
Kellen kept her mouth shut.
"How many days have you locked your wife in a barn without any irradiation?"
Alvin's tone is still low, because his emotions can still be mastered.
"Why would you do that to her? you got a problem with him? or has he hurt you?"
Kellen who had been down immediately looked up.
Without them knowing, there Eve stood in front of the door of the workspace that was not tightly closed.
"He's my enemy uncle?"
Alvin raised one eyebrow just after Kellen made a sound.
"Has he beat your business?"
"No" replied Kellen lightning.
"Then what?" snapped Alvin with high intonation.
"He's a baby missing at Tania aunty hospital, he's the son of Gautama Nalendra who's already made us lose our only aunty"
Not only Alvin, Eve who is proficient in Indonesian was very surprised by the conversation Kellen and her uncle who use Indonesian.
"Uncle remember, who put aunty in jail?" he shouted out loud with his eyes bulging. "That man is Gautama Nalendra, uncle, Eve's daddy"
Alvin was completely dumbfounded by Kellen's words, like a dry wound, suddenly re-gaping. Moreover, Tania is the younger sister who is his father. Something unexpected if the baby is missing and had shocked the online and print media is Evelyn, who is actually very close to them.
Sighing in a long breath, Alvin let it out a bit heavily.
"Do you mean El's revenge?" ask Alvin who did get the target.
"Yes, because of her daddy, aunty Tania was in prison until depression and eventually died, whereas uncle knew aunty was innocent, but aunty who had to bear her sentence. That's why I'm replying den_"
"Kellen" cried Alvin. "Let down your tone!"
Instantly the man gulped his saliva hearing the interruptions from his uncle.
"It's not Eve our target to avenge Tania's death" the uncle said in a low tone. "But the one who kidnapped the baby is our real target. Eve, just the victim of a crime from someone we didn't know until now, she had to part with her parents even after being born. And Tania as the owner of the hospital who must account for the kidnapper's actions. Because they think we're not prioritizing security at aunty's hospital."
"It's enough and don't you add to your wife's suffering if you don't want to be hostile to daddy and your uncle" added the uncle who inserted a threat.
"Don't be sorry for what you did, it's likely to make Eve leave you. Tell her family and give Eve back to her parents, after that, we'll find out who's behind Eve's kidnapping, we'll punish the real culprit"
"And don't forget" continued Alvin gently "I apologize to Eve as well
his family"
El was stunned to hear the uncle's sentence which was long and wide, he tried hard to digest every word that was arranged.
To be honest there is a wound in the heart of Alvin considering how the journey of life of the little brother that he so spoiled. Not only himself, even Pandu who was a thousand with Taniapun very spoiled him. But as if fate could not be avoided, they had to lose the only sister they had.
While there, Eve ran straight into the room with a rush of tears streaming down.
Now, she knows where she came from and the reason why Kellen was so cruel to her.
A grudge prompted him to do so.
Seriate.
