Then it was time for us to go home, and I went home and told him everything that happened at the museum. I brought home 5 billion dollars, and I kept it in my room after telling my parents that I got money from the mentor.
But it seems like the mentor is the owner of this museum. But that's just my guess. Do I work as a painter? with a large income from one painting alone can earn so much money, probably exceeding my parents salary haha.
"Is this really the money you're selling?" asked my dad to be surprised.
"True dad, do you want this money" I said showing it off.
"Hoho you're arrogant, too, son, but my salary is enough to support this family" my father replied.
"Never fight, oh yes Claude! try mommy want to see your painting? did you take a picture of the painting?" ask mom.
"All right, ma'am, here it is." I said to give her picture on my phone.
"When the painting is this bad how it can be sold at a high price" my father quipped.
"What's? can you paint?" I said.
"Of course, you're born of a genius like a father. Of course you can do whatever you want" replied my father who did not want to lose.
I don't dwell when you tell me the facts, because it's true what you say. I am a descendant of geniuses, as well as my sisters, Elijah, and Yohan being geniuses.
When we finished talking, I went to my room to save the money. Then I lay down on my bed to relieve the fatigue. But suddenly I remembered what happened in the painting room.
About the painting Robin painted, and the suspicious smile from Robin. For some reason I hate him so much, I can't stop thinking about him. That painting really bothered my mind, what movie did Robin say at the time?.
Then I took my phone, and I sent Robin a message, "Hey Robin.." I said waiting for a reply from Robin.
I waited a long time to hear Robin's reply. But Robin didn't reply to me because she probably wasn't using her phone. Because Robin didn't return my message, I became more and more upset that the incident made me keep thinking about it non-stop.
"What's wrong?" ask Robin who suddenly just returned my message.
"At last you replied to my message as well. oh yes earlier when you presented the results of your painting. What movie are you talking about? I want to watch it" I said.
"What movie? did I say that?" ask Robin.
I was surprised, too, "Huh!? of course you said something about the movie" I said.
"I don't remember, probably because I was so tense talking in front of so many people. To the point that I don't remember what I said at the time" Robin said.
"Oh. well then, see you later" I said ending the message.
Robin forgot about the movie he said while standing in front. I don't know why I didn't believe it, and it made me even more angry, and upset. Because I can't figure it out, that painting.
It felt like everything he said, was like he was stabbing me through his words that were like he was insinuating me. Something that happened in the past, something no one should know about. But why would I think Robin knew about my past.
Or maybe it's just my feeling, but it doesn't seem like it. Because usually what I feel is the truth. I am very sure that this feeling I am feeling is true. Maybe Robin's hiding something from me.
Then little by little he wanted to remind me through his insinuations that he had been doing. Since the beginning of meeting him, it has made me think of Eren, the person who was in my past. The past I wanted to forget, the worst times for me.
Does Robin have a relationship with Eren? that's why he knows about my past. It's very suspicious, I need to find out. So that no more secrets are kept from me.
I'll soon prove the truth about who Robin really is. Is it true that he had a relationship with Eren, my friend in the past. From the beginning I also felt something strange like he was hiding, but I didn't care.
"Sister!" my brother shouted that he broke down my bedroom door.
"A-what's up?" I said surprised to wake up.
"Dad.dad." said my brother Elijah, saying in a stammer, then he let out his tears.
I who saw my sister like that, made my mood even more chaotic. My heart rate became heavy, I immediately ran to my sister. My body was filled with cold sweat.
"What's going on with dad!" I shouted while holding my sister's shoulder.
"Dad..dad died, huhu!" my sister cried loudly.
My heart rate seems to stop beating for a second. Then my body was so limp once I heard Elijah's words, it felt like I couldn't get up, and could only bow my head while kneeling like this.
Then drop by drop my tears came out so hard, and step by step I began to rise to my feet, and to walk limply. I staggered, I felt my head hurt. I was shocked to see what was happening on the first floor of my house.
I saw my father dead lying in the living room, and there was my mother, and my sister Yohan crying over his disappearance. I immediately ran away staggered, and wept loudly toward my dead father lying there.
I hugged my father with tears. My tears wet my father's clothes, and also my feelings are currently being mixed. Irritated, sad, angry, hated, I had no idea what I was feeling.
But there is only one determination, namely, revenge on people who have done this to my father. Then suddenly there was a hand that stroked my head gently. I raised my head slowly, and again I was surprised that the one who stroked my head was my father.
I'm not dead yet, but I'm dying. With a wound with several knives stuck in his body, "Dad!" I shouted loudly.
"My boy... Claude" said my father limply.
"Let's get me to the hospital ma'am!" I shouted out loud.
"There is no need. son. it seems. Dad's life is only up to here" said my father who was convinced by his words.
"Have a son, I just wanted to tell you something" said my father.
"Dad..."
"Please take care of this family. All this time you've been.. pendam.. and if. you want to avenge. Then do it. but remember. you did it. not because of your anger.
Then.. take care of your friends.. and one thing again... never.. hate your friend... because he is enough.... injured" said my father.
And then suddenly he didn't say any more, and he didn't open his eyes, he didn't breathe, he didn't move, he didn't beat his heart. I was determined to avenge that murderer, the murderer who killed my father.
"YAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!" I shouted out loudly with explosive anger.
About keeping this family. I will definitely take care of him as a father taking care of this family. Then the matter of getting out of reality that I've been quieting, how do you know that I still have that past.
What I thought at first was that I didn't pay attention to this family, I noticed it a lot. Then about looking after my friends, I promised my dad, I will take care of them, because they have become part of my life.
Then about not hating my friend. In his words this time I only mention friends with one word, which means one person, and again I say that person is my friend.
Who exactly do you mean? I had no idea what you meant at the time. Then continue with the word "don't hate" on him. Which means that the guy made a mistake with me, or I don't know if I understand.
Then it continued with the word that he, "had been hurt enough all this time". What did my father mean at the time, if I combined the words. It means that I have a fault with him. But I didn't know who it was, until dad mentioned the guy in his last words.
Then if it's about avenging my father or because of my current anger. I don't know.I can't promise those words to my father. Because it feels very difficult, because now my heart is in a big rage, which maybe if I let out this anger can destroy the whole world.
I'm sorry dad.I can't promise you with my words about taking revenge for you. Since I can no longer control my anger at you, I am really very angry with you. I will avenge this with explosive anger.
...*****...
A month has passed, now is the time for me to go back to school. I was a little far away from where I lived, and I went to school with my friends from that hell-like old school.
Now that I've changed father, I'm no longer what I used to be. I care so much about the people around me, even before I left school I saw an old grandmother carrying heavy things. The grandmother seemed to have trouble carrying the heavy item, and I came to her to bring the item.
Then the grandmother thanked me with a warm smile. My heart could feel that warmth, and then it wasn't just grandma that I helped dad with. I also help people around me who are in trouble. Then again, I defended my friends who were bullied by their evil friends.
I have to teach that bully a lesson with violence. Because if not by violence they will definitely repeat the mistakes they have made. Then the friends I defended thanked me, and they became my friends.
Then the fate of the bullies was that they had become my friends, and became good people. They no longer bothered the children weaker than him. They defended me against the bad guys. Then one more thing dad...
After school I helped the people around me again, and again.
A few months went by. I kept doing that dad. I never let them suffer or suffer. Everyone around me became very kind to me, they often gave me gifts because I had helped him.
I'm no longer like I used to be, a cold person, who doesn't care about other people's circumstances. Which is just a book to read. While there are things that are more valuable, or more useful than just reading a book.
That is, caring for others, feels very fun compared to me who used to read a book alone. The warm feeling, and the smile from them made my heart open even more, and always smiled broadly at them.
"If you think you've changed, have you? Claude" said Glasya who was sitting in front of me.
My relationship with Glasya, and Yaomi is now also improving. Like a friend again, but still if I change, I still want to read books to learn. But I don't mind if anyone wants to talk to me. I will serve him directly.
"Haha... changed like what do you mean? do I look more handsome? haha" candaku.
"Haha what the hell, but it's also true what you say, damn it!" glasya Gumam.
"Hey earlier he muttered that you did look more handsome" said Yaomi who passed by.
"Thank you, Yaomi, so yeah, haha" I said, waving my hand.
Well. although it seems like Yaomi wants to distance herself from me. But I don't have to think about it like I used to, because it just gives me a headache. I no longer think of anything that makes me suspicious, or think of it all the time.
I'm different from the old days who always suspected my friends because of his very strange attitude. I took their treatment for granted, regardless of the bad side towards me. Because I know the reason they're like that, it's because they don't want me to know.
"Hey Claude! it's a gift from people, and he also wants to thank you for helping him" said Robin.
"There should be no need to bother, but how else" I murmured.
"Enak once so you yes, you are liked by many people. Other people are being nice to you, huh I envy you so much" Robin said.
"What the fuck are you. Be nice to them" I said.
I also no longer suspected Peter as he had before because of his very strange attitude towards me. I no longer think about it, and only accept its existence. Although he still tried to remind me of a right that happened in my past. But I don't think about it anymore, because it just gives me a headache from thinking about it.
"Claude! let's go to the cafeteria!" peter said with a burning spirit.
"I'm sorry I can't" I said.
"Well if you're stubborn too, I'll drag you Claude!" said William.
"Ah... well then I'll go to the cafeteria with you guys" I said.
That is how this new life began months ago. My social life has changed completely compared to the previous one, and of course I prefer a life like this. The warm life of the hearts of those around me.
