The Forest Behind the House
25. The Sacred Self

Since he knew that mother really hated him, now Budi more often moody and locked himself in the room. He also broke off contact with the Saints.

He turned off his phone a few days ago. Neither did he visit the Saints any more. Because of Yuni's warning, the creature was always on guard in the Holy House. The creature can also see the Budi tribe. Hence, Budi decided not to visit the Saints.

"Get." Yuni called out to Budi who was pensive.

"What?" ask Budi slowly.

"Why don't you concern yourself with things that don't make you think of the Saints anymore."

"You mean?"

"Well, you don't think about your lover all the time. He's fine under his mother's control."

"Did you come just to tell me that?" ask Budi pissed.

"No."

"Then, what else do you want to say?"

"I have something that can make you not feel guilty about the mother's treatment of your lover."

"You mean?"

"Do you know, actually, that saint is not Sarah's biological child?"

"What's!? Don't lie to you" said Budi in surprise.

"Dude." Just then, Irfan listened to Budi's uncontrollable shouts of shock. Being too shocked, Budi did not remember that he was talking loudly alone.

"Who's talking to?" asked Irfan while looking around Budi's room.

"Ti-no. I'm just talking on the phone" Budi told a lie.

Budi was forced to lie to his sister, so that his sister did not worry. Because actually, all family members think, Budi is free from the interference of subtle creatures now. Hence, he did not want Irfan to know that he was talking to himself, because Irfan could not see Yuni.

"Oh." Irfan nodded with doubt. How not, he felt his brother had lied to him. His brother said he was talking on the phone, while his phone was on the table.

"What are you doing here, Fan?" tanya Budi shifted the subject quickly.

"Nothing, I'm just passing by bang."

"Oh."

"Yes, I went out first, bang, there is something I have to do," said Irfan as he walked out of Budi's room.

After Irfan's departure, Budi hurriedly called out to Yuni. He wanted to ask the certainty of the news that Yuni had told him just now.

"Yuni."

"What's wrong?" yuni asked with an annoyed face.

"Tell me from where do you know that Suci is not Aunt Sarah's biological child."

"I guessed it, if you call me there must be a need."

"Here you go, just answer what I'm asking. Isn't it your job to answer my questions?"

"Basic man. Wants to profit by himself."

"Yuni, do you want to answer or not. If you don't want to, I don't force." Budi showed his unfortunate face to Yuni.

"Alright, all right, all right. I'll answer what you ask. So please, your face is not like that. I don't calm down to explain what you're asking if your face is so ugly."

"Don't say much, say it immediately."

"Yes, Suci is not Sarah's son. He is the son of a woman named Susi. Susi and Sarah were best friends before. Susi and Sarah are very different. Susi has a soft and very kind heart. But Sarah, she's greedy and has a rotten heart." Yuni stopped the story for a moment, making Budi feel curious.

"Then, where's aunt Susi? Why did the Holy One become Sarah's son? What the hell is going on?"

"Susi died. Sarah killed him."

"Why did aunt Sarah kill her best friend?" ask Budi as if in disbelief.

"I've said before, Sarah has a foul heart and a greedy nature. He knew that from Susi's womb would be born a child of holy blood, who could open a wooden box left by his teacher, so Sarah felt jealous of Susi. She killed Susi after she gave birth to her baby. Then, Sarah with the charade she had planned, became a helper angel to take care of baby Susi who was named Holy to be her adopted child. Unable to have the Holy One, Sarah chose to marry the Holy Father, making the Holy One her stepson."

"In that way, he could have everything Susi had, including the wooden box that their teacher passed on to Susi," Yuni continued.

"So .. is it possible that someday, aunt Sarah will hurt Saints, Yuni?" ask Budi worried.

"That's possible. Because Sarah's not a good human being. While his best friend alone could he kill, let alone Saints who became his stepson."

"Tell me, what should I do?" ask Budi in a desperate tone.

Does ... does Suci know that she's not aunt Sarah's biological child?" ask again.

"Not yet."
