Chapter 642 - The Dark Past II
For Oscar, every day is a day of fear and confusion. He didn't know what would happen that day or the next. Oscar really had no control over his life.
Every day Oscar only saw the prison cell filled with darkness and the naked body of the man. No sunshine, no birdsong, no soil.
After telling about his dark past, Peter's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know that his son had fallen into drugs and almost killed himself in a prison cell! All this time he thought that Oscar studied seriously in Sweden so he didn't have time to contact his parents for more than 6 months.
Just as Greta couldn't believe what she heard. Why didn't anyone tell him about the trouble Oscar was having!? Why didn't Clara say anything?
Oscar kept his back to them, not daring to see the look on their faces. Actually he wanted to know what expression Greta had on his face, but he was too emotional so he didn't have more energy to just turn around.
Oscar was afraid that if he turned his head, Greta could see himself becoming weak. He didn't want anyone to find out that he was actually a fragile man.
Apart from Dani, the man who accompanies her on her happy and difficult days, Bryan, a friend she met in Sweden, helps her see the light of the sun again. They both have sworn by the thing or the person they love that they will not tell anyone about their past.
Actually Dani is a man who is both in a prison cell. It was just that the man wasn't highly regarded so he wasn't ridiculed too much. Every day the burly man could only watch from afar, not daring to do anything.
One time, when everyone was asleep and only Oscar and Dani were awake, Dani ventured to introduce herself. From that day on they always talked when everyone was asleep. Then came an opportunity for them to get out of prison.
Whether it's what day or what date Oscar can't remember. What is clear, when the prison cell door was opened and his name and Dani was called, they rushed out without looking back.
Since that day the two of them were always together. Wherever Oscar went, Dani always followed behind him. He continued to follow Oscar until finally Oscar was called to Jakarta to continue his family business.
Incidents like that make Oscar trust Dani with everything. That's why he cares so much about Dani.
"I still vividly remember the time I was locked up in that cramped prison cell. Every day I always stand in the corner, looking at the darkness that always greets me in the morning or evening. Every day I see them 'killing' each other, mocking each other until they finally look battered. Then one day Dani came and held out his hand. He is the one who accompanies me in times of darkness."
At that time, after he met Dani, his spirit to live again slowly emerged. Dani was the one who made him see the bright side in life and others. Therefore Oscar felt very grateful he had met Dani.
If only they had been in different prison cells at the time, maybe Oscar would be dead by now.
"Oscar, you've been through a hard road it turns out..." Greta sobbed not expecting it. Tears continued to flow down his cheeks. The look in his eyes looked pained at the sight of his son's back. "Why didn't you ever tell Mama and Papa about this matter!?"
Oscar was silent for a few seconds and replied, "What's the point of me telling you this?"
Even if Oscar tells his parents about his dark past, what can they do? Telling him to stay away from drugs and his ill-intentioned friends? Forcing him to return to Jakarta?
Especially?
Moreover Oscar decided not to tell them for the sake of their future as well. He couldn't imagine what would happen if the whole world found out about his dark past. What will happen to his father's company? What if they went bankrupt just because of their mistakes when they were young?
"Some people come and go in life, bringing either happiness or sadness," Oscar finally turned and saw Greta's eyes, "Just like Lisa. I think of Lisa as a light sent from Heaven to me. He has saved my broken heart, and made me feel like a human again. It's not just the undead who continue to live because it's not time to die yet."
Peter could only look at Oscar in disbelief and shock. This time he really felt like a failure as a parent. He who thought that he had been quite successful as a parent because he could send his children to a prestigious school in Sweden and make a living, was wrong.
"Oscar, I'm sorry Papa. papa is really sorry for not being able to help you that time. Papa should have called you often and visited you in Sweden, to be your friend..." Peter lowered his head and wiped his tears, "Not just as a father."
"It's okay Pa, this all happened not because of Papa's fault. This all happened because my destiny was like that, Pa. Now that I've found my reason for living, Lisa, she's the woman I want to survive. I tell all of this to you so that you know and understand about my past. And I'm here to tell you that I will never leave Lisa. only death can separate us, no one."
At the same time, right after Oscar closed his mouth, he felt his phone vibrate. He quickly grabbed his phone and turned on the screen.
Dani
Where isMr. Oscar now?
Here is a… problem.
If Mr. Oscar wants I can pick up Mr. Oscar now.
Reading that suddenly made Oscar frown. A feeling of panic immediately filled his chest cavity.
Oscar
I'm at my Papa Mama's house. No need to pick me up, I brought my own car.
Wait for me.
After that Oscar put his cell phone back in his pocket and looked at Greta, "If for example I didn't meet Lisa, I might be walking around like a undead right now. Lisa is the woman who helped me to feel alive again."
"Oscar, Mama has done everything for you. Why don't you understand that this is all Mama did for your good?" Greta asked with tears welling up in her eyes.
Oscar laughed dryly, "Even now Mama still thinks that this is all for the best for me. Pathetic.. So sad."
