The Enigma's Lover (PoohPavel AU 18+)

CHAPTER 35

TIN

I stand there in front of my front door confused. Why are these two people here? I don't even understand what they were talking about. Why did they talk about helping Pop? A detective from the Police Force and Ping's ex partner, how did these two have anything to do with someone from Chen's organization?

"They won't open the door for us." said Lee with an angry tone "Let me just..."

We saw him swing his hand in the air and the door suddenly flew open, not only open but flew away from the hinge, almost hit me and Vel and landed with a loud noise near the sofa in the living room. Almost forgot det. Lee is a very strong telekinetic.

They looked surprised when they found us just in front of the place where the door just existed a second ago.

"P' Pavel... We need to talk..." said Lee.

"We were just really going to open the door, you know..." I said pointing at the door that is now laying, sadly and so out of place, in my living room.

"We are really sorry about..."

"How did you know that name?" ask Vel, didn't even let Garfield finish his apology.

Name? What name?

Both Lee and Garfield look at each other with hesitant eyes.

"Pavel? That's your name, isn't it?" said Garfield.

"That's the name the organization gave to me as their product." said Vel with a hate tone.

"No, that's not true, it was the nickname your birth mother gave to you."

Vel looked at them with a suspicious look "How do you know that?"

"Because each and everyone of us have our nicknames coming from our birth parents," said Lee. "The organization didn't make any effort to name us so they just use the name they got from our birth parents as our nicknames."

Ok, this is getting more confusing.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

Lee looked at Garfield like asking for his opinion if it's ok to say anything in front of me. And Garfield gave him a nod.

"You don't remember, don't you? that we were once all children that were raised and sold by the organization. Me, you, P'Garfield and Pop."

It took me and Vel a few seconds to digest that information. That sounds so absurd but not really impossible.

Vel is the one who reacts first by saying "You are lying."

"I don't!" answer Lee with a strong voice.

"You were 5 when you were adopted by your adopted family. But before that, you were the oldest among all of us. I was a year younger than you while Lee was only 3, Pop was literally a baby who barely can walk." explain Garfield.

"But, I still remember you." said Lee "P'Pavel was the one who always protected us when they beat us up. You are also the one who always makes sure we get food to eat even when you yourself don't have anything to eat. When you got sold, I cried for days, missing you, hoping you would come back and bring us out from that place. But when I finally meet you again after so many years, you don't even remember me, you even tried to..."

"Stop!" said Vel with a loud voice to Lee "But... you are not adopted... My family knows your family."

"I was a replacement for their dead son, I live with their dead son's identity. Nobody knows I'm not the same kid that they gave birth to." Answer Lee "I'm lucky though, they treat me so well and I grew up without any beatings or hunger, I even inherited their wealth after they passed away. While P'Garfield here is not as lucky as I am, the family who bought him only wants to use his ability, they treat him like shit. That's why Father bought him back and gave him a new family."
