Time Turner

They have to wait for Aurina to finish reprogram the device for four days. They were excited when Alfizar sent them a message about it. And now...

"It's nothing but a broken trash," Aurina words surprised them. Was Aurina that upset that she actually say that to her own creation? Even if the device was really broken beyond repair, there rarely any creator that say their own creation was trash.

"Thank you, Dioz," Aurina smile slightly, careful not to hurt her lips. She took the pieces of the device that used to be smooth but now broken. But she didn't look upset at all.

She turned her head to look at Zio, "Let's go home."

"But I haven't treat that boy yet-"

"Don't bother, dad," Alfizar cut him off as he sent a terrifying gaze to Desta. "If you treat him now, then you will have to treat him again at home later. Let me 'fix' him up first, then you can treat him at once later."

Desta looked at Alfizar in fear. But for some reason, he won't plead. Not that Alfizar hopes for it, but after seeing the visions where the three immoral men plead at him, Desta looks more dignified in Alfizar's eyes.

And in answer, Zio nodded and began to pack up his things. Aurina pretend as if she didn't hear anything and Henry stares at Alfizar in surprised.

No one seems to notice how unusually quite Rachzi and Vianzo were.

"Then we will leave now. See you tomorrow, Alfi." Rachzi wave at Alfizar. And soon they go to their separate way.

Zio drove them home along with the extra 'guest'. The moment they get in the house and Zio had locked the front door, Alfizar forcefully dragged Desta by his collar to the living room.

Desta Carazo, like what Dioz said, was a new instant food company that began to rise and doing well in the market. Carazo Co. everyone who has watched the news about the opening ceremony, that was rather extravagant by inviting a lot of celebrities would know that the whole family of Carazo attend the party and everyone know the Carazo only have a son.

Alfizar could ask Aurina to confirm Desta's identity later. But now...

BRUK!

Alfizar pushed the boy to stand in front of him rather harshly, behind him, Henry persuades Aurina to go back to her own room, which she did. Zio himself only took a seat on the sofa while watching the boys with a calculative look. Henry stood not far, trying to make sure that Alfizar won't go too far later.

"No matter what the reason that drives you to do what you did. I still won't forgive you for what you made Aurina gone trough." Alfizar said as he towering over Desta.

Desta would like to dodge the punch that came so fast towards his face, but with the number of times he got hit whether from things the girl threw at him back then, or the punch he got after. He was exhausted, more so mentally than physically.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Blood began to flow down from Desta's nose down to his chin before finally falling to the marble floor.

Desta's hand shot up to his nose as he staggered backward and then fell on his a.s.s. His face twisted in pain, but the more his face move the more it hurts his nose. Desta keeps his face straight with all his might so he won't cause any more pain to his now broken nose.

The mist of unshed tears formed in his eyes, but no tears fell to his cheek. Desta whimpered in pain. Did someone curse him? Why did he living through such a cruel day?

Alfizar cracked the join of his fingers, he looked down to Desta. The should thank him for not hitting him with all his might. The anger in his heart hasn't dissipated yet, but a hit could calm him a little. Alfizar was not aware of his uncle who was facepalming in the background because Alfizar just adds a new wound for him to fix, a broken nose.

"Get up and sit on the sofa," Alfizar ordered with a cold tone, Desta fear that if he disobeys he will get another hit. So he obeyed without saying anything.

Alfizar then sat down right in front of Desta, arms crossed over his c.h.e.s.t as he leaned back to the sofa, his eyes sharp piercing Desta whole being. His whole demeanor saying 'you will answer all my questions honestly, or else...'

Zio and Henry only looked at the whole exchange feeling something weird. They have never seen this side of Alfizar.

"Aurina said you were forced." Desta nods multiple times hurriedly. With one eyebrow raise, alfizar asked again.

"By who?"

"Harloz Sweinzrev," Desta said in fear, but it's not towards Alfizar. He was fearing his father's company. What will the Sweinzrev do now that Desta revealed his name? He probably knew that Desta already forcefully taken to Leonore's home by now.

"Sweinzrev?!" Zio suddenly exclaimed as his eyes widened in surprise, he just planned to stay silent and watch how Alfizar going to deal with the Carazo boy, but this one piece of information force him to opened his mouth in disbelieve. How could he not? He just called Harlock, Harlock Sweinzrev to send his men and help to look for Aurina just a little over an hour ago!

From Alfizar and Henry's expression, Zio could tell that the two didn't understand why he suddenly exclaimed. Henry even jumped in surprise because Zio's voice was really loud just now.

After looking at Zio in a questioning gaze, Alfizar decided to redirected his attention back to Desta.

"I know Harloz has this horrible reputation at GIPEC. Now tell me? Were you forced to shoot an arrow at Emma days ago? And why did he targetting Aurina now?" Alifzar's voice was dangerously low after he thought about the possibility of Aurina get target again.

"We have to move again!"

"Didn't you notice any men wearing a black suit at GIPEC?!"

"HENRY!"

"Then how did you know it's Sweinzrev?"]
