PART 236'S

Happy reading ....

***************

Indonezsian...

Ramone has arrived at the Villa where Putra and his family live. He had met all the members of the nuclear family except Anthony, who when Ramone came Anthony was asleep after crying for a while.

Addison and Bruna and the Girl have told Ramone about Anthony showing his grief after the Son went to the godfather of the Son who has now also asked Addison, Bruna, Damian and Garret to regard him as the Son considers himself.

And the girl who calmed Anthony and accompanied him, after Addison and Bruna also had time to help calm the handsome boy. And in the end, it was the girl who offered to accompany Anthony in his room. Girls are just as sad as Anthony, and Addison and Bruna understand that.

So both Addison and Bruna give room for Girl and Anthony to calm down. And maybe both are asleep, so Anthony does not know if Ramone has come.

Ramone understood after hearing stories from Addison and Bruna about Anthony and the girl he did not see when he came. So Ramone told the Girl to also take a break to calm her heartbreak like Anthony.

“Vader..”

A voice that Ramone heard called him, making him who was sitting on the terrace behind the Villa turned his head.

Ramone smiled at the person who called him that, and had now taken a seat nearby who chose not to rest in his room.

Ramone was not too tired, nor was he sleepy.

So he decided to look around the Villa, after Addison and Bruna welcomed him, then drove Ramone to a room that had been prepared for him, after Frans and Arthur who came to the Villa with Ramone say goodbye.

“Ad,” say Ramone with a smile.

Addison came to Ramone.

“Why you’re not taking a rest? (Why don't you rest? )”

Addison asked.

“Later. I want to get my grandson first (Later son. I want to say hello to my grandson first ) ..” Ramone replied.

“Maybe Anth will wake up just a little bit more (Maybe Anth will wake up soon ).” says Addison. Ramone also nodded. “Vader.”

Addison called again Ramone who immediately replied to him. “Yes son?..”

“There’s something I want to know (There's something I want to know ).” Addison said again.

“What is that? (What is that? )..”

Ramone asked Addison.

“What is it in Salisbury? (What's in Salisbury? )”

Addison asked Ramone.

“Why Son choose that town? (Why did the Son choose the city? )..”

Addison connected his question.

“I mean, it must be there’s a reason why Putra asked Accursio to prepare those things that Putra asked to him at there (I mean, I mean, there must be a reason why Putra asked Accursio to prepare everything that Putra asked him to the city )”

Addison spoke again. Ramone smiled slightly.

“Because that town has story for him (Since the city has a story for him )” Ramone replied.

“What story? (What story? )”

Addison was a little curious, because despite long knowing the Son, but he never knew if the Son could be said to have history in the city called Salisbury.

“Do you know if Son suffering of something? (Do you know if the Son suffered something? )” Ramone asks Addison back.

“Putra.. is sick? (Is Son... sick? )” Addison frowning, look worried. Ramone smiled slightly.

“Kind of (About like that )” Ramone said.

And because of Ramone's words, Addison so advance his body that had been sitting casually.

Addison's face now looks serious due to Ramone's speech about the Son who said his adoptive brother's godfather, suffering from an illness. An illness that Addison suspected was a serious one. Which makes Addison worried as well.

“How bad? (How bad? )..”

Addison asked Ramone seriously.

“If it’s so bad, then I think that I should go to catch Son to England.”

(If it is so bad, then I think I should go to follow Son to England ).

The worried Addison kept up his words.

“No need (No need )” Ramone said as he shook his head.

“But if Putra has serious condition of disease, he might be in danger—“

(But if the Son has a serious illness condition, he could be in danger-).

“Putra is sick (Son is sick)..”

Ramone cut Addison's speech. The godfather the son smiled slightly.

“Was (Ever )..” connect Ramone. “Well, for at least he’s no longer Son with that ‘disease’ since Rery twine him (Well, at least he is no longer the Son with ‘disease’ since Rery embraced him )..”

Addison frowned inside.

“The disease that Putra ever suffered is not kind of medical disease like I have now.”

(The illness that the Son suffered from was not some kind of medical illness like the one I have today).

Ramone continues his story.

“Putra has (Sonsuffering Son ), ever had (Suffering Ever ) ..”

Ramone spoke again, pausing his words for a moment. And Addison stayed focused on listening.

“He, what? (Him, what? )..” Addison was shocked after hearing the story of the pain suffered by the Son.

“As you heard son (As you heard son )”

Ramone looked at Addison as he folded his lips later.

“Putra got it from his Grandfather from his father.even Putra’s father never thought that the thing that his father has, will be hereditary to Putra whereas Patrick and Layla are normal.”.

(The son has it from his paternal grandfather.Even the father of the Son never thought if the disease that his father suffered, will decrease in the Son when Patrick and Layla normal.).

(Patrick and Layla are the parents of Son ).

Addison further advanced himself in sitting.

Ramone's story about the Son who suffered from something that Ramone said he really never heard in the slightest.

“Putra’s Grandfather is a Psychopath (Grandfather Son of a Psychopath ).” Ramone continued. “And that Patrick found out when he saw his father tortured her mom, when Putra’s Grandmother ever met his friend which is a man... and Patrick’s father was so jealous that time (And that's what Patrick learned when he saw his father torturing his mother, when his grandmother Putra met a friend of his... and Patrick's father was very jealous at the time )...”

“...........”

“Patrick’s mother already explain that she and that guy was accidently met fo a long time haven’t each other. But Putra’s Grandfather cannot except that reason. and that day, Patrick saw his father other side, when somehow, his Mom's friend who met with her, is already in Putra’s Grandfather captured inside their mansion basement. Being tortured until die in front of Putra’s Grandmother and also Patrick, because his father pushed him to saw it.”.

(Patrick's mother has explained that she and the man accidentally met after a long time without seeing each other. But his grandfather Putra couldn't accept the reason, and that day, Patrick saw the other side of his father, when somehow, his mother's boyfriend accidentally met it, already in the captivity of his grandfather the Son is in the treasure of their dwelling. Tortured to death in front of his grandmother Son and Patrick, because his father forced him to see it... ).

Addison is getting serious about listening to Ramone's story.

“And Putra’s Grandfather was totally show his other side after that time. He locked his wife an Patrick at mansion, and fired all of maid they have. Sometimes Putra’s Grandfather come normal as before, and sometimes he get mad when he said that he imagined what his wife did with her friend that he killed and burn his body, and he started to tortured his wife also Patrick if he tried to save her mom, Patrick’s father will become normal then cried seeing what he did to his wife and his son. And that happened for months.”.

(And his grandfather Son really showed the other side after that. He locked his wife and Patrick in the residence, and fired all the servants they had. Sometimes his grandfather the Son behaved normally as before, and sometimes he would go crazy when he said if the shadow about his wife and his boyfriend having an affair that he had killed and burned appeared, then he would start torturing his wife and Patrick if he tried to save his mother, and after that, Patrick's father would be normal again, he cried after seeing what he had done to his wife and children. And it happened for months... ).

Addison is still seriously listening.

“The mount of Putra’s Grandfather sickness is when he killed himself, right after he killed his wife in front of Patrick that he tied at the basement stair (The peak of the Son's grandfather's madness is when he kills himself, right after he killed his wife in front of Patrick who he tied up on the stairs )”

Ramone continued speaking.

“And after that, Patrick’s psychological a little bit disturb.”

(And after that, Patrick's psyche was a little disturbed.. )

“But like you said, and also as long as I know Uncle Patrick, he looks okay, normal. I mean, Aunt Layla and him are looking so happy in harmony.. And so does Putra. Even yes, I admit that I saw his mean side when we already moved to Ravenna. And I thought that because he wanted to protect Rery, Madelaine, Anth and our family.”

(But as you said, and as far as I've known Uncle Patrick all this time, he looks fine, normal. I mean, Aunt Layla and her look really happy and well-rounded.. And so is the Son. Although yes, I admit that I saw the cruel side of the Son when we moved to Ravenna. And I think that he did because he wanted to protect Rery, Madelaine, Anth and our family.. )”

Ramone nodded.

“Patrick’s psychological didn’ became like his father. He just got to became depressed, traumatized and make him just like a living dead. In the same time, he sometimes gets hysteric without any reason (Patrick's soul doesn't become like his father. He just became depressed, traumatized and made it like an undead. And at the same time, she sometimes becomes hysterical for no reason )”

“I see (As it is ).” Addison.

“And one day, Rery’s Grandfather saw Patrick in a place like an orphan house when he did his route visit for a social things. Then he took Patrick home, raised him like his own son, and Kingsley also accepted Patrick very well. And you know, Patrick has Smith name behind him. Cause when Rery’s Grandfather and also Kingsley look Patrick as family, Patrick become better.”

(And one day, Rery's grandfather sees Patrick in a kind of orphanage as he makes regular visits to social activities. And patrick took him home, raised him like he was raising his own children, and Kingsley also received Patrick very well. And as you know, Patrick bears Smith's name behind his name. Because when his grandfather Rery and Kingsley bring Patrick as a family, Patrick gradually improves ).

Ramone paused his story for a moment, to sip his drink in a cup, which Mr. Abdul had prepared for him.

“But still, Patrick was perfect a very closed person. Only wanted to talk with Rery’s Grandfather and Kingsley. But that changed, when Patrick met Layla. When Rery’s Grandfather took him and Kingsley to the Netherland (But still, Patrick becomes a very private person. Just wanted to talk to Rery and Kingsley's grandfather. But that changes when Patrick meets Layla. When his grandfather Rery took him and Kingsley visited Holland )---“

“But I thought Aunt Layla is coming from this country? (But I think Aunt Layla is from this country? )..”

“She. My father look Layla from here, save her when their parents were died when situation in this country was chaos. And then Layla became my foster sister (Yes it is. My father took Layla from here, saved her when Layla's parents were killed when the situation in the country was in turmoil. Then Layla became my adopted sister )”

“I see..” says Addison. “And you know how when Uncle Patrick gets closed with Aunt Layla? (And you knew him when Uncle Patrick was close to Aunt Layla? )..”

“Yes ( Yes )” Ramone replied to Addison's question.

Ramone then smiled slightly.

“Love is a magical thing right? It can turn someone just like that. And that was happened to Patrick. His love to Layla changed him to become Patrick that you guys know all this time. A warm and humble person. Even he throw away all these bad memories about his parents. Living his live with a lot of happiness with his wife and son. Until.”

(Love is a magical thing, right? It can change a person just like that. That's what happened to Patrick. His love for Layla made him the Patrick you've known all along. Warm and humble people. He even threw away all the bad memories about his parents. Live his life with lots of happiness with his wife and son. Till.. ).

Ramone hung up his sentence.

Addison waited for Ramone to continue his sentence.

“Until one day, Son was tortured a girl. Until that girl was dying and locked her up in a hut inside the jungle behind his mansion. All because that girl is chasing Son and Son said he got disturbed with that, so he did all that thing to that girl. And he told that to Patrick and Layla with a flat face like he thought it was an ordinary thing. Even Putra said, he feel happy did that.”

(Until one day, the Son tortures a girl. Until the girl was dying and locked her in a hut in the woods behind her residence. All that he did was because the girl was chasing after the Son and the Son said he was disturbed by it, so he did that to the girl. And he told Patrick and Layla with a flat face like he thought it was a normal thing. Even Putra said, he felt happy by doing this.. ).

“Oh God.”

Addison was shocked.

“And that time Patrick realized that Son has suffering the same mental disorder like his Grandfather-----“

(And it was then that Patrick realized that Putra was suffering from the same mental disorder as his grandfather-----).

“And Salisbury, is a place that Son was ever brought to lock him up? (And Salisbury, is the place where the Son was brought to be locked up? )”

Addison thought and felt anxious.

“If Son goes there, isn’t it can make that disorder that he had, can appear again? And if that happens, maybe me, Bru, Dami and Garret could handle it. But how about Anth and Girls?.”

(If Putra goes there, won't it trigger the disorder he once had, can it reappear? And if that happens, maybe me, Bru, Dami and Garret can handle it. But what about Anth and the Girl?.. ).
