Chapter 29 - The Reality

"!!" The surprised Lucas turned to look at Aidan who had just pulled his body and then gave him a rebuke.

"Are you stupid?! This is a time when the situation in the region is very hot. You can die if you walk around without a badge!" Aidan scolded Lucas who could only frown now. Lucas looked at Aidan who was now tearing the shirt he was wearing and then tying the torn shirt to Lucas' upper arm.

"Is the dress you're wearing right now an identification uniform?" Lucas asked who guessed this, which made Aidan not answer the question and just stood up from his position. Aidan patted Lucas on the shoulder gently then asked him to leave the place.

"Come on!" Take Aidan to Lucas, who was disappointed because his question was not answered by Aidan, he stood up and walked after Aidan who walked leisurely. Aidan's relaxed attitude made Lucas, who was walking beside him, follow suit as if they were part of the Devil Rebel gang.

"So that's right… You guys are wearing uniforms so you can be easily recognized. Is that so?" Guess Lucas again that he threw at Aidan made Aidan couldn't help but admit it and nodded his head to justify it.

At this moment Aidan walked ahead of Lucas who was confused by Aidan's hasty steps, which made him look like someone who needed to see someone else soon. Lucas who was left behind tried to keep up with Aidan's footsteps then asked the man, "Where are we going?" The question didn't make Aidan stop in his tracks or turn to Lucas. He kept walking as he answered the question.

"I want to see my mother! I didn't get to see my mother today, the day she had a heart attack." Aidan said, while Lucas who heard the answer frowned, he became curious where Aidan was at that time so he didn't have time to meet his mother.

"Where were you then?" Lucas asked, staring at the back of Aidan who was walking in front of him because his steps didn't keep up with Aidan's steps.

The man turned into a small alley and stopped in front of a door that looked comfortable.

"At that time I was given the task of helping Uncle Dhan go to the border and treat the injured people in the area!" Aidan answered Lucas' question again before he finally entered the house and slowly opened the door.

This of course made Lucas check the situation and situation around him, before then he followed Aidan's footsteps into the house.

The two of them entered the house through the back door and walked towards the stairs at the side of the hallway. But when Aidan's footsteps had just stepped on one of the stairs, a voice that was very familiar to Aidan's ears finally made him stop his footsteps and fell silent.

"Aidan?" Lucas called Aidan in a low whisper because he was afraid that his voice would make their existence known to others. Aidan didn't respond to Lucas' call and only turned his head towards the room where the voice came from.

Aidan also turned and walked slowly, then he peeked between the doors that were not tightly closed. Aidan looked at who was in the room at the moment. Dan found Belinda and Vernandes in the room, which of course made Aidan confused and had a big question in his head.

One thing that made him feel confused was because he knew that when Belinda died, that night Vernandes was on guard on the north side and not in the center of the headquarters. Aidan also realized that there was something they were hiding from him, and he only knew it now.

…

That night Vernandes deliberately told Dhan and Aidan that he was in the north to guard there. But in reality, he didn't, instead, he went to meet Belinda without the two of them knowing.

"So… What exactly did you want to talk to me about, Belinda?" The question that Vernandes asked Belinda made Aidan frown. He saw Vernandes who was now strolling into the house and then just sitting on Belinda's long and soft sofa which then made Belinda could only exhale and turn to Vernandes who was sitting comfortably.

"How long are you going to treat him like this, Vernandes?" A question that Belinda posed to Vernandes also made the man frown and chuckle for a moment after hearing the question, even though the question didn't sound funny.

"What is the meaning of your question, Belinda? I do not understand." Asked Vernandes who did not understand the question that Belinda had just asked him at this time. Which then made Belinda exhale loudly.

"Are you stupid?! Ron just passed away six days ago, and you've already given Aidan a mission? What are you doing?!" Belinda asked Vernandes who only frowned at the question, then got up from his seat to approach the place where Belinda is currently. Then he said,

"Don't you also know the reason for this? We need him at the border because currently our situation with the government is getting hotter. Belinda, please… Understand a little!" Vernandes said which made Belinda frown and shake her head rejecting Vernandes' words and reasons.

"No, I shouldn't be the one trying to understand the circumstances. But the one who should understand is you." Belinda said to Vernandes who was now chuckling hearing it while shaking his head slowly. At that time, Belinda stood up and walked to take out a large suitcase that Belinda had already prepared which of course surprised Vernandes.

"What are you going to do with that big bag?" Vernandes asked Belinda who was now looking at him sharply when he heard the question.

"I will leave this territory together with Aidan. I don't want your son to be a tool just to enrich and expand this party even further!" Belinda said to Vernandes who immediately became panicked and annoyed with what Belinda had just said to him.

"What? What are you saying hmm? You can't go take the child, Belinda! After all, he's not your son." Vernandes shouted at Belinda. Even now Vernandes stood up from his place and held Belinda by holding the suitcase that Belinda was pushing to leave, which was Belinda's house, to be precise.

Realizing when Vernandes was blocking her, Belinda also violently and violently threw Vernandes' hands to get rid of him from in front of Belinda. The woman stepped out of the house again, but Vernandes who was behind her did not remain silent and quickly pulled out a weapon. He also shot Belinda with a weapon that turned out to contain a poisonous injection which of course made Belinda surprised to feel that she had been injected.

DARR!!!

"!!!" Belinda stopped in her tracks when she felt pain in her back from the shot. He also turned to Vernandes who was now staring at her so sharply.

"No!!" When Vernandes was about to take a step, he heard a loud shriek from someone behind the door of the hallway that was not tightly closed. Vernandes was surprised too, he quickly approached the door and saw who was there who might be a witness to what he had just done. But Vernandes found no one in there, and then closed the door tightly again.

…

Without Vernandes knowing, Aidan and Lucas had witnessed all of Vernandes' murders. And when Aidan shouted earlier, Lucas swiftly took him away from that place, so that Vernandes couldn't catch the two who could be more dangerous for them.

Shut!!

Lucas took Aidan to a place that was quite quiet at that time. Lucas looked at Aidan who was currently looking very shocked and shocked to learn the harsh reality of Belinda's real death.

Aidan just found out that Belinda did not die of a heart attack, but because she was killed by Vernandes. The person he trusted the most right now.

"The two of them fought and Vernandes killed her… Just because of me?" Aidan muttered to Lucas who was now breathing slowly in response to the question. Aidan who felt weak finally sat down hard and felt very guilty for this incident that happened because of it.

"What have I done? I have followed him until this very moment and have faith in him," said Aidan, who now looked very confused, he again realized something that then made Aidan's breath catch and feels angry at this time.

"If Vernandes killed Belinda just because of me… Maybe he killed Dhan because of me!" said Aidan who then turned to Lucas who just stared at him silently.

"Hey! I want us to go seven years from here, there's something I want to confirm. You can?" Aidan asked Lucas who nodded his head and extended his hand to Aidan.

The two of them went from that place to seven years ago from the incident of Belinda's death.

One snap of Lucas's finger… Then they disappeared.
