After reaching the village where Xabiru and Asta lived before, Xabiru did not rush to visit his mother's grave, but gathered everyone together. The most important were his grandfather and Asta. Nira himself was left to walk around the house.
The three now sat in a circle facing each other on top of the kang. Xabiru himself stared at the two alternately, then sighed to calm himself down before he revealed what was on his mind.
It was too heavy, until he sighed before actually speaking. But Asta understood, though he did not know the full extent because he did not listen further when Xabiru and his father chatted. He only knew the outline, if his father was forced to do this on the basis of the good of both mother and son.
Is correct. His father accidentally seizes the family head's rights for himself and expels Xabiru and his mother to the village just to protect the two. Under the pretext of a bastard and a traitor, his father was willing to be stamped so for the safety of both.
Xabiru himself felt heavy because he was still accepting the facts he had just known. He was devastated, especially his mother is gone now. His father was also jailed for protecting him. He felt so stupid and useless for not finding out everything clearly.
But, his father did not blame him, because that was his wish. Only, his father also regretted the departure of his mother. He was also devastated by not paying attention to both during his time as the head of the family.
Now, Alexander has also been destroyed. But the problem also did not disappear completely. Only one-eighth of the problems were finished, and the rest, his father bestowed everything on Xabiru to solve them.
"Grandfather, since grandfather was arrested, second uncle took over, but second uncle was sick and died, then second uncle passed his position to me, and Xabiru took over the position of head of the family finally. It went well at first, but unexpectedly in just one year, Dad took it all in, loved me and even drove me and my mom to this remote village. We lived a difficult life, until I couldn't stand it and finally left me and Asta who couldn't even walk." Xabiru said explaining the beginning of the problem that occurred.
Conflict breaks out when the grandfather leaves, and is pronounced dead. The second uncle took over, as he was the only person in the residence at the time who was very capable of leading.
But 9 years later, his uncle fell ill and eventually died, Xabiru was not willing to replace his uncle because at that time, his father's position was abroad. And the uncle gave a will so that Xabiru would take over.
Although there was his first uncle and older cousin, but his second uncle gave Xabiru a big responsibility. And Xabiru took it on the basis of his second uncle's last will. Without thinking much, without knowing if the first uncle who supported him, secretly turned out to plan bad things for him.
Small problems he had solved and he made the Alexander family become better every month. But after a year, his father returned. Not only did he betray her, but he also took the woman by his side, and drove her and her mother away.
Xabiru inhaled a deep breath, looking at her grandfather with teary eyes. "Then yesterday Dad told me he was doing everything for my and my mom's good. He took on all the big problems just to protect us. The matter in question came from the first uncle's family. They intend to kill me and mother, do not hesitate to also harm the paralyzed Asta at that time, who just entered as my wife." Xabiru said with a trembling voice. He took a deep breath again. "They want the power that grandfather has built, they want to take it away from me. Then, grandfather, before killing them intending to take down the three of us, intending to slander and make bad news about the three of us. But Dad found out first, he finally took a big step by expelling us. It kept us temporarily safe, but instead, it was Dad who was pressured by them." Xabiru continued to explain. "And the second uncle's problem, it turns out that the first uncle is the one behind falling ill and the death of the second uncle."
Xabiru was inexperienced, and he only knew if his first uncle was very good to him, not bad-minded at all, so he never suspected him at all.
"Grandfather, these past few months, Dad was arrested several times by the first uncle's man and attempted murder. His back was scarred, his hands full of injection marks, his stomach even had stitches. I saw him yesterday, but Dad still smiles at me. And apologise for everything. He loves us, grandfather. Me, me, I feel ukh-huhuhu." Xabiru said, not continuing his words because he was unable to.
His cry broke, even Asta who had switched to embrace him joined in crying without a sound, although the pretext calmed Xabiru, but he also joined in crying.
His grandfather had even thrown away face with a parched face, holding back tears even though his tears had already come out. He also blamed himself for being stupidly trapped, making his descendants tormented. The beginning of the problem is him too, right?
If he is not trapped and locked up in prison, everything is very unlikely to happen under his supervision. Then his first child, although not a real child and adopted by him, he did not expect if he would destroy this big family.
As long as he was in charge, the extended family lived peacefully despite several conflicts with competitors. Even with the state, although the state feels pressured by the power of his family, but all coexist safely.
Who would have thought this would all happen? Even the nephew, who was raised as a child even dared to betray him like this? How hard he was.
This nephew, was the first child and adopted son of Xabiru's grandfather who was a descendant of the original Alexander family. His grandfather, who had adopted his first uncle Xabiru, three years later, present his second uncle, who is his grandfather's biological son. Then there is the younger brother of his second uncle, Father Xabiru.
His second uncle had no children, and his wife was sickly, not long after his second uncle ascended to the position of head of the family in place of his grandfather. On the other hand, there was Xabiru's father who had married first and finally there was Xabiru. But when his uncle died, his father was taking care of a branch of the company outside the country.
"Grandfather, sorry." Xabiru said after calming down a few minutes later. "I didn't investigate it clearly at the time. But now that I know, also Dad told me that if the first uncle's family wasn't at the residence, they had escaped. So, even though our family was destroyed the family of the first uncle still exists. Father told me to finish the rest of the business with first uncle, also told me, telling us to be more careful in the future. Because first uncle, will never be satisfied before he sees us all completely miserable and helpless." Said Xabiru again with eyes gleaming full of emotions, mixed emotions.
"Uncle still doesn't know me and grandpa are alive. So, grandfather, hold Xabiru up so that Xabiru can solve everything later." He said in an instantly changing tone, sounding serious and full of rage.
