(Not) Mistake
Chapter 43: The Arrival of Dylan

Zahir fell silent in the living room alone after Celine's arrival. Do not come to just see the condition of Olve that he has made up like this. Reflecting on the attitude he had been doing to Olvee. The fear that had really haunted him lately, did not happen either has not happened as he had thought so far.

In the middle of his mind, the sudden arrival of someone made Zahir again feel anger. However, it is not anger like the one he felt when he first learned Olvee and Alvaro were caught having a relationship. Anger at Alvaro, who he felt had stolen Olvee from him.

“What need are you here for?” zahir asked looking at Alvaro who had just arrived.

Before Alvaro answered the question, someone else entered the house and Zahir shifted his attention. And then Zahir rounded his eyes and was surprised to see someone he knew. He doesn't really know her, but he still knows who the person who came with Alvaro was.

Seeing Alvaro bring a Dylan Roxanne here, Zahir already knew Alvaro's true intentions. It was expected that Alvaro would steal Olvee from his side.

“What brought you here, Mr Dylan?” Zahir turned to ask the guest brought by Alvaro.

Dylan stepped arrogantly until he stood beside Alvaro. His view circled the living room which became the first object his neutrals saw. Lots of family photos on the wall. All the family members are complete, they look very harmonious.

Dylan's cold feeling again felt strange when he saw the photo of one woman that Alvaro had shown at the beginning. At that time, he did not respond too much when he saw the photo. But this time, the same photo and the same person of different ages, Dylan felt so emotional.

“I'm actually not too interested in going far from my city, Mr. Marveen. But your son told me if my brother was here and detained by you. Can I see my brother?” dylan asked in a lazy tone after his gaze was fixed on Zahir.

“Your Brother? Who do you mean?” zahir asked back to choose to pretend.

“Pa, don't deny it anymore. I've brought Vee's only real family. Papa should be happy, not like this!” cut Alvaro.

“Where is he?” dylan asked back a little urgent.

“Olvee!” Flora's screams heard from upstairs shocked everyone and shifted attention to the top floor.

“Vee?” Alvaro immediately ran without a second thought to the top floor. Followed by Dylan who somehow felt panicked.

Alvaro and Dylan gasped for air as soon as they reached Olvee's room. They enter to find Olvee's whereabouts, but arriving at his gallery, they find no Olvee but Flora and Celine.

Celine looked at Alvaro who had just arrived. With a stranger to him. He doesn't know who that man is. However, the first impression this man had was that this man had the same aura that Olvee had. This was their first meeting.

“Where is Vee, Ma, Sister Celine?” ask Alvaro.

Flora cried as she pointed towards the large window that had already been hollowed out. Alvaro immediately approached and looked down where Olvee's clothes had all become ropes to escape. Seeing that, he already knew in advance how his parents treated Olvee the last time they met for sure.

“Do you have no sense anymore until you lock Vee in his room until he chooses to escape?” snapped Alvaro at Flora and Zahir who had just arrived at the gallery.

“Alvaro, don't yell at them like that!” scold Celine.

“What is it now that matters? You don't know anything Vee's been through to date. The two of them who claimed to be his parents, had dark eyes to make Vee stress and do not trust them anymore!” Alvaro vented his anger while pointing at the broken window alternately with his parents.

“Ma, I hope for you! Vee is pregnant, Ma! Does Mama have no compassion?” ask Alvaro.

Celine could no longer answer Alvaro's words. A lot of new things he just knew, his family has changed a lot. He who had just come could not comment on anything. Likewise with Zahir who at that time also felt very guilty. All the mistakes are on him.

“Soaring!” dylan exclaimed at Zahir as he smashed into his body, rushing out of the room, beginning to look for Olvee.

"Ma, what exactly happened and what did you guys do to Vee?" Celine's tears finally poured down her cheeks.

"Papa has really gone too far to keep Vee in his room!" celine exclaimed before she finally came out.

"Zahir, did you see what you did? It's all because of your selfishness!" Flora, the only one who always sided with him, also blamed him.

The guilt became even greater for Zahir. Greater than his own fear. The object of fear moved, becoming on Olvee who would hate him. Not only Olvee, but also his children. He has failed to be a good parent and a role model for his children. In that instant, Zahir realized his mistake.

"What are you waiting for, Zahir? Quickly find Vee!" flora's orders jerked her husband. Without thinking twice, Zahir finally left.

"Evan, go through all these housing complexes to find Vee!" alvaro's first commandment to Evan.

"Sir Vee? What was? What's she-"

"Don't ask too many questions!" snapped Alvaro who eventually followed Evan.

Dylan had already left in the car he had brought. Alvaro got in the car looking for Olvee. While driving, Alvaro calls someone who Olvee might be aiming for.

"Zara, is Vee at your place?" ask Alvaro as soon as the phone picks up.

"none. What's wrong with Vee, Alvaro? He's fine, right?" Zara is heard panicking when she hears Alvaro asking for Olvee's whereabouts.

"He's gone, it's gonna be a long story. You helped find him, too." Alvaro hung up the phone one-sidedly after saying so.

"Damn! Vee, where are you?" muttered Alvaro with a frustrated face.

Dylan drove his car slowly down a road that was quite unfamiliar to him. This was just a case of a woman escaping from home, plus the woman was a woman he had not fully trusted as his brother. However, his heart was so unsettled. He was moved to find this woman immediately. Unmitigated even Dylan has contacted his people to help find Vee's whereabouts.

For hours he drove his car until the night, but he had not found the whereabouts of the woman at all. He has not received any news from Alvaro. Dylan stopped by the lonely roadside, leaning his head to think more calmly.

A woman he does not know at all. He doesn't know anything about her. But it feels like he has a bond with her. His feeling is very uncomfortable.

In the middle of his mind, Dylan heard a loud female scream. Dylan straightened his body and turned around his car. He immediately went out and looked for the origin of the sound.

As his voice drew closer, he found a woman surrounded by several large men holding bottles of liquor. One of the men hit the woman on the shoulder with booze because she rebelled from them. The woman was the woman he saw in the photos Alvaro showed. Dylan's eyes darkened to see that. His instincts as an older brother rose up right then and there.

"Hey!" scream Dylan.
