“Where is the woman now?” tanya Yazza tried to calm herself.
Uncle Mail seemed to be trying to remember, “Said the hell, the woman returned to the city and she met her son's biological father to hold him accountable.”
“So, Vee and the woman split?”
“I've never heard from Vee's best friend since he left the coast,” took a long sigh, “They often say twins! Why the same fate ... both have children without a father!”
“Really, I will be in charge, Yve has also met with me. He is not a child born without a father anymore from this moment on!” Yazza was reassured.
Smile, “See your photos, it looks like Yve is indeed very happy!” down sad, “I miss them so much!”
“Do not worry, my goal is here to bring you to meet them!” Yazza smiled looking at Uncle Mail.
“Yes, I was already very impatient once someone told me about this earlier!” uncle Mail is enthusiastic.
That's what the two thugs said when they met Uncle Mail before Yazza met him.
They said someone wanted to invite him to meet with Vee and Yve.
Yazza had planned a dinner to bring them together.
Who would have thought, his meeting with Uncle Mail actually spread to this important conversation.
Yazza never thought, if the past that Vee hid was far more complicated than he thought.
Even he was still unable to find out the truth even though the awkwardness for the sake of awkwardness seemed very clear.
“Em, does the house Vee used to live in still exist?” ask Yazza in a calm tone.
He was just trying not to arouse suspicion.
Nodding, “My married daughter always cleans her house once a week. It was because of Vee's request that we take care of the house. Said a lot of memorable stuff there!”
“Really?”
If the house is still cleaned often, and he says a lot of memories .. isn't that very interesting?
Yazza thinks of an idea, “Can I have a look?”
“Ah, sure! Of course!” uncle Mail smiled enthusiastically.
Maybe the Yazza will find something useful to know more about Vee.
Uncle Mail looking out, “it looks like you are not an ordinary person. Even you were escorted when you came here!”
Mr. Ardi and the two thugs were waiting outside the house earlier.
Smile, “Vee knows my grandfather, maybe you have also met him before!”
Squinting, “Vee know your grandfather?”
“Once, on the eve of Vee's father's death anniversary, he will also come to sow flowers.”
“Wait, I remember someone fairly close to Vee. This old man is indeed from a family that is quite well-respected.” try to remember, “Name sir Gio!”
“Yeah! He's my grandfather.”
Surprised to look at Yazza with wide eyes, “Don't tell me you're the little guy who was one of the survivors back then?”
Nodding, “That's indeed me!”
Her breathing seemed to stop, her mouth gaping wide this time, “Children who gave the fairy nickname to Vee!”
Smile sipu, “I don't know if the people here come call him like that!”
Shocking amazement, “Really God is so awesome. Although the road looks steep, but in the end you are already destined!”
“Do you also agree with this destiny?” smile anxiously.
“Vee saved her future husband as a child!” grunting smile.
“To be honest, Vee is still in doubt about this. Maybe he's still not sure if I'm really going to take responsibility and start all over again.”
Sighing deeply, “I told you, that boy is always stubborn!”
“I agree with that!” chuckles softly.
...***...
Vee's old house is very small.
But at least, the items there are neatly arranged.
Only one bedroom, one small madi room, kitchen and living room are very narrow.
The Yazza looked around, apparently often cleaned.
Not much dust to cover.
“Pak Ardi, look for something suspicious!” hiss Yazza.
“Good sir!”
“Don't be too flashy!” Yazza turned to Mail, who was looking at a picture of his old friend.
Mr. Ardi nodded, retreating to the small cupboard near the kitchen door.
Mr. Mail nodded with a smile, “He raised Vee by himself .. It has been since childhood that he always took Vee to the ocean. Until almost all sailors living on the coast consider Vee like our own child!”
“That's why he was also at sea on the night of the incident?”
“Yeah ... The ocean is so hard and unpredictable! Although it is terrible, if we do not go to sea we will die of hunger!” smile small, “If Vee becomes stubborn, of course because he's been dictated to be like that since he was a child.”
Yazza smiled considering Vee's character.
“Our talking style is rough, our voice is loud and our muscles are strong. But we never forget our main goal, which is to go back to the mainland. Meet the ones we love, with results that will make them smile!” uncle Mail is passionate about telling stories.
“Although sometimes up to days in the middle of the sea, we always remember to go home! The people we love wait with anxiety. They held a cup of warm tea and we could only continue to get cold. Isn't that alive?”
Yazza squinted, seriously listening.
“We are only small people, certainly more often feel the suffering. But if we're always united, we'll be great! Who will dare to fight us?” smilingly staring at Yazza, “That's what Vee once told people on the coast as thugs tried to set up the dock.”
“It looks like it's indeed Vee!” Yazza smiled.
“Since that time, we did look after each other. Vee managed to keep us all free from wild tax levies. Not really, but people like us, pennies mean a lot!” uncle Mail smiled laughingly, “Haiz! The girl's youth never escapes the fight!”
But is it true that Vee is as powerful as he is told?
Against me alone can't!
“Many things that Vee has done until everyone is so scared and hesitant to him. But one weakness ... As I said earlier, he actually prefers his name ugly to keep the thorns that he refuses to remove from his life!”
“His best friend?”
Mr. Ardi squinted at the baby bottle and some toys stored in the glass cupboard.
“Yeah!” grunting smile, “Vee is very loyal and does not care if it has to hurt itself for the sake of this best friend!”
Mr. Ardi opened the closet next to him.
He widened his eyes even more surprised to see the contents.
White Lotus employee ID card?
Why were his name and picture lost?
Mr. Ardi muttered inwardly, he began to suspect.
“That time, he already got a job in the city. But after a few months, they came back. His friend came home with a disgrace, making Vee have to work harder to finance his second life!” uncle Mail sneered, “The boy went to a street game to collect the cost of giving birth to his best friend. His face always gets new bruises every night!”
“Why Vee so come hard because of this woman!” Yazza was upset to hear that.
Some baby clothes and blankets neatly arranged in the lowest pile of clothes closet in front of Mr. Ardi.
Although unsure, he once again checked and picked up a few pieces of clothing.
“Entaih! That girl is stupid!” uncle Mail turned the body around looking at Vee's childhood photos.
He smiled wiping the frame that looked worn out already.
Mr. Ardi found a small piece of paper tucked between the clothes.
“Master!” mr. Ardi stood turning his body.
The sculptor stared at Yazza while holding a thin sheet of paper elongated in his hand.
Yazza squinted.
Uncle Mail turned his head, saw Mr. Ardi standing next to the closet, “Ah … it was the remains of the item the woman left behind while still living here before she finally went back to the city to hold accountable to the man who had impregnated her!”
The deg!
A powerful punch again hit his chest. The Yazza slowly approached Mr. Ardi.
Whether out of fear or speechlessness, Mr. Ardi just fell silent while thrusting the paper into the Yazza.
Not wrong anymore.
This blank check!
The check he once gave to one of his subordinates to keep his mouth shut, so as not to divulge the incident when the Yazza was drunk.
Instantly Yazza dropped his hands limp.
The paper flew to the floor in the wind.
His heart was so sick and painful.
On the other hand he felt deceived by Vee and on the other hand he felt more guilty for really robbing Vee of honor while in this new Bali.
“How can her daughter be born a year early, whereas she is still here without anyone knowing if she is pregnant!” yazza sizzle shut his eyes, raising his head.
Mr. Ardi lowered his head not daring to comment.
