In a dark room, Lucas sat limply with his feet and hands tied with a chain. Lucas, who had just woken up, realized that he was currently locked up in a place. "Hah..." Lucas sighed heavily after he realized that the efforts he made to convince Aidan yesterday were in vain, and now he can't run away from there because the energy he has is drained and the anesthetic injected by Aidan also worsened the condition of his current body.
"Well… well, there's nothing I can do right now but wait until my condition is much better than it is now!" Lucas said to himself and nodded his head slowly. Convinced that it was the best thing he could do.
…
In another room which at that time was located two floors above the place where Lucas was being held, Vernandes was sitting and exhaling while looking at Aidan who was now standing in front of him and looking at him with a very serious look.
"So… that person blew up the base and released all the captives?" A question was asked by Vernandes to Aidan who immediately answered it with a nod of his head. Which then made Vernandes believe and nodded his head. But one second later Vernandes again asked Aidan a question.
"Where did he take all the captives, Aidan? Did you know that too?" Aidan who received the question nodded his head, admitting to Vernandes that he knew where the captives were.
But then Aidan asked a question that was still in his head Vernandes, "I know where they were run to. But Vernandes… Why didn't you ever talk about or even tell me that we all have captives?" The question that Aidan said at that time made Vernandes now look at the child seriously, then he cleared his throat before finally answering.
"Because I don't want to make you misunderstand me, Aidan… I just want you to focus on your task without knowing anything else." Vernandes' answer to Aidan also made the younger man frown and then he gave a protest to Vernandes.
"You should have told me this, Vernandes… So that I could at least know all of this directly from you, not from anyone else." That's what Aidan protested to Vernandes who just smiled then exhaled. The man walked over to Aidan, then patted his shoulder lightly and said, "We'll talk about this later Aidan… It seems that neither I nor you are currently equally tired. We'll meet tomorrow morning to talk about the captives as well as the boy." Vernandes said to Aidan before the man finally left Aidan in the room.
Aidan who was still silent in the room turned his head and looked at Vernandes who just walked away when he started to talk about the prisoners that Vernandes never told him about their whereabouts. Which finally made Aidan could only exhale and move away from the room to his bedroom.
Along the way to his room, Aidan kept remembering the memory where Vernandes killed Belinda with a syringe, and then he felt like he was thrown into the moment where Vernandes shot Dhan in the fatal body. Although Aidan could help at that time and heal Dhan, even save him from death, at that time he did not do that because of Vernandes.
The man stops Aidan's action from healing Dhan and tells Aidan that Dhan is a traitor. Which in the end made Aidan not help him, letting Dhan just die.
All these memories made Aidan feel indecisive… But when he remembered a word Dhan had said to him, he stopped his footsteps.
"You have me now, Aidan." Those were the words Aidan remembered that Dhan had said to him. The words that kept ringing in Aidan's head finally made Aidan realize and understand that Vernandes had been hiding something from him all this time.
Aidan also remembers when Vernandes killed Belinda. The man did not show a look of surprise or guilt, but Aidan could see the look on Vernandes's face at that time which showed that he was disgusted and disgusted by Belinda's actions. Actions that Belinda took to keep Aidan away from the Devil Rebel.
I don't know what Aidan is feeling right now, but a vision suddenly appeared in his vision. It was as if he saw firsthand when Belinda was writing something about herself in a book that she believed to be a diary. As Aidan recalled, all of Belinda's belongings were in the archive room, which of course made Aidan think that he should see what was in the book.
Something attacked him, Aidan didn't understand why he could see the image of himself. Which he had never seen before, but because of the curiosity aroused by it, finally made Aidan walk quickly to the archive room which was in the building next to the headquarters he was currently walking on.
Step by step Aidan passed, and the more he stepped he felt that there was more and more something wrong with Vernandes' behavior, he was sure that there was something strange inside him that made him stupidly continue to defend Vernandes who had killed his mother, namely Belinda.
Aidan's current steps were walking towards the file room and when he got there, he looked around to see if he was the only one in the room at the moment. After realizing that no one was there, he immediately entered the archive room.
The archive room is a room where all personal data and also some items from the Devil Rebel members are stored, Aidan's eyes are currently looking at the guard sleeping on his chair, which makes Aidan walk very slowly to pass the guard. Footsteps from Aidan currently traced the tall shelves neatly arranged with names listed on each shelf. Ozerbert Belinda. That's the name Aidan is currently looking for.
He walked through shelf after shelf until he finally stopped at a shelf with an O symbol which became a marker if the shelf was a shelf that stored all data with the name O, and he was sure that Belinda's data was in it. Not hesitating anymore, Aidan opened the cupboard and looked inside. There were several boxes neatly arranged inside and one of them was the name he was looking for.
Without much thought, Aidan immediately took the box and opened it to see its contents. There were several biodatas of him along with objects that were kept for memory and one of them was the diary he saw a while ago, which made him immediately open the book, start reading the contents of the diary.
July-09
'Today is the day that the leader of our gang found a baby boy, who was finally named Aidan. It was an extraordinary day because I could feel that at that time Ron… For the first time not lying to all of us members, and I also felt that Aidan was indeed a child who fell from the sky and was sent down deliberately to change my and Ron's lives. '
"!!"
Aidan was transfixed when he finished reading the first page of the diary that Belinda had written directly twenty years ago. He was quite surprised when he realized that he was not Belinda and Ron's biological child, and what surprised him even more, what Lucas said to him about the shooting star was true.
