(Not) Mistake
Chapter 35: Surprising Facts

Alvaro parked his car right in the yard of the mansion in front of him. It took quite a long time to get to the city where a pair of grandparents lived. For the size of a pair of middle-aged women and men, this house was so large that it looked enough to be referred to as a mansion rather than a house.

Not much attention, Alvaro got out of the car to immediately enter and meet the two owners of this house and say the goal. In front of the mansion's door, there were two maids who welcomed his arrival. Alvaro screeched in a lavish style that was very typical for both his grandmother and grandfather. They so uphold luxury and glamour just because it bears the title of the name Marveen inherited from his parents as well. Without knowing the hard work behind it.

“See who came?” The voice of Laila Marveen who is none other than her grandmother, welcomed her arrival after she entered the house.

“Where's Opa? I want to talk to him.” Alvaro immediately said his goal without bothering to stale.

“She'll be home soon, let's go in and drink something.” Laila Marveen went inside who was inevitably followed by Alvaro.

“Opa should have retired and enjoyed his fortune,” Marveen said amid their runs.

Laila Marveen grunts. “That's the plan if your father doesn't break up badly like that.”

Laila took him to a room that looked the same as the living room, but seemed more informal and could be called a lounge. He seemed to have been here before he came. Laila sat down on the sofa and reopened the book lying on the table. Alvaro said nothing and joined his grandmother. They did not speak until the waiter came to bring him a drink.

“Do you want to see your op after a long time do not want to hear our name?” laila asked without looking at Alvaro, opening the conversation.

“There is something I want to talk to him and also Oma,” replied Alvaro who also did not stare at Laila.

“Cih! If you have a purpose, you just came here. While when there is none, you do not visit even just send news. You bastard boys!” Alvaro did not want to answer those words again.

Behind their haughty and gluttonous attitude, the more Alvaro matures the more Alvaro realizes that they too are a middle-aged couple who only yearn for life like any other middle-aged couple. Living together with her children and grandchildren. He was sure that if all the spicy words that came out of their mouths for his parents there would be no evil intent at all. From what Alvaro guessed, they were just too embarrassed to apologize and covered it with those scathing words.

“This is about Vee,” said Alvaro changed the conversation as well as the purpose of his visit.

Laila stopped looking at the book she was reading and looked up at Alvaro who was waiting for his eyes. He kept the book and seemed to want to focus on this conversation.

“If that's your purpose here, we have nothing to say. Don't mention the boy's name again in this house!” laila said firmly staring at Alvaro.

“What's wrong with Vee other than she doesn't have Marveen family blood? Why do you hate him so much?” ask Alvaro.

“So, did you know that the child was not the daughter of Zahir and Flora?” ask back to Laila who Alvaro belonged to.

“Indeed it is not one of the reasons we hate the child,” continued Laila then who increasingly makes Alvaro curious.

“Looks like we have a guest, Laila.” Another voice that had just come distracted their conversation

“Kenar, have you gone home?” Laila stood up from her seat intending to approach the husband.

“No need to come here, sit down.” Kenar stepped closer to Laila and sat down to join. They have a romantic side as well even though the age is not young anymore, Alvaro thought.

“So, what's with this uninformed boy here?” asked Kenar directly after he sat opposite Alvaro while loosening the tie still attached to his neck.

“I want proof from your words that Vee is not the biological daughter of Papa and Mama,” said Alvaro who also directly without being stale.

“Haaah... What is so special about that son of a bitch's daughter that my family would accept her?” muttered Kenar annoyed.

“Who exactly is Vee's family, Opa?” alvaro ignored Kenar's words.

“She's the daughter of our family's sworn enemy, which is why I hate her so much. Coupled with Zahir who received the child who had been dumped by his parents. Really annoying.” Alvaro was a little surprised to learn that new fact.

“Which way does Opa mean? And why did Vee's parents throw it away?” ask Alvaro again quickly.

“Where are they now?” Alvaro asked again.

“Her parents are dead, there are rumors saying that they died at the hands of their own son. I haven't heard from their family in a long time either, although their family is still as famous as ours.” Alvaro was again surprised to hear this new fact.

“For what did you ask them?” ask Laila.

“I have to meet the Vee family to bring her from Papa so I can marry Vee with her real family blessing.” Kenar and Laila glared sharply, surprised by what Alvaro said.

“You're going to marry the kid?!” Laila asked half-screaming.

“No, we already disagree he became part of the Marveen family, moreover he actually became the Marveen family by becoming a son-in-law. We won't-”

“I will take over the entire Opa company and make you retire as desired. I'll also make Papa apologize to you guys.” Alvaro believes this offer will not be rejected by both of them.

"You won't be able to easily return the girl to her family because Zahir has taken care of all the paperwork necessary to make her his son. Even since he was a baby" Kenar said shortly after his stint.

"That's let me take care of it. I just need a vindication if Vee is really their family. Do you have any evidence that Vee is really their family?" ask Alvaro.

"No, we don't have it." The hopeful Alvaro suddenly came back desperate to hear it.

"So where did you guys find out Vee was their daughter?" ask Alvaro annoyed.

"Our butler saw for himself that his parents had thrown the baby on the street. She picks it up and plans to raise it along with her sister, but Zahir sees it and decides to raise it himself. Her sister is a maid working in your house right now."

"So, I just need to bring your butler along to make him a witness, right?" asked Alvaro felt the bright spot was still there.

"Whatever," answered Kenar.

"Who's that family?" alvaro asked again as he stood up from his seat with vigor.

"His son who led the company made a new center in the city of X." After hearing the information he needed, Alvaro left just like that.

"Hey brat, is this how you can meet Oma and Opamu?" yells Kenar.
