(Not) Mistake
Chapter 42: The Truth for Celine

It had been 5 days since he was locked up in his room without being allowed to even go out of the room. His mother takes care of all his food and drinks. He repeatedly begged her to be released, but she did not listen. His ego is too high to eat the food, but considering that if he is no longer alone, he cannot act according to his ego.

He spent the whole day in his gallery. Usually he does not have a problem with this activity, even he can do it for a week. However, Olvee did not feel happiness anymore when he painted. All seemed to disappear and filled with thoughts to think of ways so that he could escape from here. That was all he had thought about these 5 days.

“Vee ..” Room lock sound that opens simultaneously with the open door does not divert Olvee attention.

Flora went into Olvee's room with a tray that she carried with her like the days before. There was nothing Flora said after putting the tray on the table that used to be the place. Olvee also this time did not say a word or plead again for free to him.

“Your brother is coming today,” said Flora softly which made Olvee stop painting her paint on the large canvas in front of her.

“He will persuade Papa,” he continued and after that out of Olvee's room.

Olvee doesn't really care about her brother who will probably have the same opinion as her father. After making sure her mother was out, Olvee came out of her gallery and went into her room. Started to finish the food even though it felt nothing. Forcing himself for the sake of the baby in his stomach. Alvaro's words are still imprinted in his memory which makes Olvee strong until now.

After finishing her meal, Olvee walked up to her wardrobe on the walk in closet and picked up the strands of clothes she had been stringing together for the past few days. Go back inside the gallery and open the big window that was there. Olvee threw a large paint can and broke the window. He dropped the clothes and put them on something. Under his gallery, it would directly come out precisely in the garden. It was a quiet place and rarely visited by his father and mother.

After all the preparations had been completed, Olvee began to descend her room in such clothes. Wishing this outfit was strong and would not break as he went down. If it falls, it will result in its content as well. The goddess of fortune seemed to be on his side, Olvee managed to descend his room smoothly without anyone knowing. He immediately ran with his bare feet out of the house, away from him.

A few hours after Olvee's departure

Flora received many messages from her eldest daughter telling her she was coming today. His last message was that he was already on his way home. She did not tell her husband at all that Celine would come home for fear that she would act. Flora felt guilty because this was all she could do.

“Who came?” asked Zahir who came out of his room when he saw a car entering the yard.

“That's Celine,” replied Flora while out of the house.

Celine was right to come, but she came alone without her husband. Seeing that it seemed like he was indeed in a hurry to come here immediately to leave his job. Flora immediately approached him and hugged him.

“Celine ..” He shed his tears.

“What's up, Ma?” ask Celine worried.

“Pa, what happened here?” Celine took turns questioning her father who was quite surprised by the arrival of her daughter.

“Flora, did you call Celine here?” ask Zahir to his wife.

“Because this is all I can do. I as her mother could not see Vee suffering continuously under your dictatorship!” flora exclaimed with tears that had washed her face.

“What is this really, Ma, Pa? We better go inside and talk about it inside,” said Celine mediated the two.

Zahir first entered with a not so good facial expression. While Flora was still crying being in Celine's arms guided inside.

Minah brought the drink at Flora's behest. His hands were trembling as he served the drinks to Celine, Flora, and Zahir. His mouth opened several times as if he was about to say something. However, it was closed again due to the fear of Zahir.

“I received a call from Mama a few days ago and heard that Vee is pregnant with Alvaro's child? And Papa intends to abort the content also tried to marry her to Verald?” Celine finally started the conversation.

Zahir stared at Flora sharply, while the one who was stared down was unwilling to look at his opponent. From the response of his parents, the words of his mother who half he believed seemed to be true. Celine did not think at all that her two sisters were hiding this feeling.

“That's right,” replied Zahir.

“What is Papa's decision wrong with separating them violently because they are brother and sister, Celine?” ask Zahir then.

“Bu-not a sibling? What do you mean?” celine asked so surprised at this fact.

“That's right!” exclaim Flora before Zahir raises his voice.

“Olvee is not actually the daughter of the Marveen family. She is the daughter of the Roxanne family who was dumped by her parents! Your father took Vee when he was a baby and intended to be raised by Bi Minah and Bi Orkan,” Flora said with a hiccup.

“A-what?” Celine who had just come could not let out her words other than a constantly repeated shocked expression.

“Actually what else are you hiding?” celine asked after calming herself down for a while.

Both of his parents were silent and could not answer. Flora, excited to explain the truth, fears that Zahir will stop her and be influenced by her. His plan to save Olvee through Celine could fail.

“Then where is Vee now?” ask Celine later.

“She's in her room, it's been 5 days Papa locked her up.” Celine was once again not finished with her father's actions.

“Alvaro?” ask Celine again.

“She was kicked out by Papa one month ago after being caught in touch with Vee.” All the answers came out of Flora's mouth, while Zahir did not open his mouth at all.

“I want to see Vee,” Celine said as she stood up from her seat.

“Ayo.” Flora stood up to take Celine.

Celine was again surprised by Olvee's room door that was locked. His father and mother had been too late to treat Olvee just to separate Alvaro and Olvee from each other. How could they have such a narrow mind?

“Vee ..” call Flora as soon as entering Olvee's room.

There is no answer as usual. They stepped in and checked Olvee in his cold room, then the bathroom, and the dressing room. There's nothing at all. Then the two went into Olvee's gallery and there they were surprised to see that the big window had broken and there was a rope made of clothes. Celine ran closer and could guess what was really going on.

“Olvee!” flora shouted while crying.
