At the same time as his uncle and family left, Brian also went with Alessia to Arnold's house. The girl drove the car while Brian remained where he was."You are okay?" Alessia asked, occasionally glancing at Brian."Yes," said Brian briefly, but his voice couldn't lie and made Alessia laugh a little."You're nervous, aren't you?" guessed the girl.Brian just nodded his head, agreeing with the girl's words. Of course, Brian was nervous because somehow he would hear the story behind all the secrets of his presence."I was afraid of being disappointed," Brian admitted later.Alessia no longer responded, maybe the girl could feel what Brian was experiencing.“I'm afraid that the story I heard doesn't match my expectations. What if it turns out that Mother was the one who kept my secret all this time, and it turns out that all of that happened because—" Brian couldn't explain it in words.However, it is natural that Brian is not afraid of the stories that Brian might hear from Arnold."I
"We have arrived," Alesia said.Brian's attention was diverted to the front. They were in front of a fairly high gate."Here?" Brian asked, a little hesitant."Yes. You should inform the Commissioner because security here is also quite tight. Without confirmation from insiders, we won't be able to enter," explained Alessia.“Oh, that's how it turns out. Pretty tight, too," said Brian."That's normal for a conglomerate like Commissioner Arnold."Brian just nodded, took out the cell phone he kept in his jacket, and dialed the landline number that Brian happened to get from Sean. In his heart, Brian asked why Sean didn't just give his identification to pass through the high gate."Hello? Is the Commissioner there? I'm Brian," said the man as soon as the line was connected and someone on the other end of the line answered formally.From his speaking style, it seemed like the waiter was the one who received the call.“Bryan?” This time the one who said Brian's name was Manda. Brian quite r
As soon as he saw Kiara leaving with Al in the man's car. Manda took Brian deeper into the big house.“Dad wanted us to have lunch first, so we already prepared it. Hope you like it, Brian," said Manda as she walked in front of Brian."Thank you," said the man.Manda looks happy today as if the longing that the woman has been harboring for so long has paid off. In the dining room, Manda didn't say anything apart from a smile, which for Brian was better than hearing a lot of words.The furniture that decorates every place in the house is always classy-, and arranged neatly, and the furniture remains clean, there is almost no fine dust. A fresh aroma greeted Brian, even when he walked through each room he smelled the same aroma. Manda did not explain anything about the long-lasting fragrance.According to Brian, it is like a natural scent like wood or pine and flowers, the smell is calming. And the big house wasn't as quiet as Brian thought, even though what was more visible were the bo
After seeing Arnold calmer, Brian sighed. The discussion they were going to have was indeed sensitive, whether it was for Brian himself or Arnold, but what was certain was that Brian had to listen to the man's explanation, and then after that, Brian would think before making a decision."So, my mother did come here?" Brian asked starting the conversation again.Liam and Manda weren't back yet so they were just the two of them on the back balcony.Arnold nodded his head confirming Brian's question.“I came this time to hear the story that happened. So, I beg you, tell me everything. What happened between them that you don't even know I exist," said Brian without looking at Arnold.The old man took a deep breath, nodded, and seemed ready to tell what happened between his son and Brian's mother.“Your mother has indeed come here,- and knows my wife, who is also your grandmother, well. What happened was all my fault, who separated them by force, whatever the consequences. Because I want m
"I know you want to know why your mother suddenly made that decision, even though I haven't seen her at all for a month. Her relationship with Miles is fine. Unfortunately, Chintia didn't say anything about it, only apologized. Because she felt like didn't belong there."Arnold stopped and returned Brian's gaze to him.“I'm sorry, but Chintia refuses to be defended. I felt something strange about his decision. Chintia's departure was a heavy blow for my wife and Miles, they even blamed me for her leaving. I'm not defending myself because it was like that in the beginning. However, I would be lying if I didn't feel pain when Chintia left. I also consider her like my daughter, whatever the relationship. Chintia is good at everything, elegant, intelligent, likes to tell stories, kind, even fun."Even though he was full of praise for his mother, Brian felt uneasy.What caused his mother to leave?"It was very painful. I decided to bring Chintia back, but for some reason, one night the gir
After they cried together and started to calm down, Arnold took a deep breath, ready to continue the story that had been interrupted. Brian has also been able to control his feelings, although in the future he doesn't know whether he can control his tears or not."Because the accident was serious and involved another vehicle, the police carried out an investigation to determine the cause. Luckily there were no other fatalities besides Miles," Arnold said, his voice breaking as he spoke his son's name when the crash occurred. An accident occurred and took his life.Brian was silent watching Arnold.“If you can't continue, don't force yourself. I think we still have time," Brian said.But Arnold shook his head, refusing to follow Brian's advice."I can confidently say that. I don't want to put it off any longer," Arnold said.This time Brian nodded his head and left everything to Arnold, but Brian asked him not to push himself because he saw Arnold's poor health.“You also have to put y
The story is over-the-top, and many things are unexpected. Brian didn't expect that there was an extraordinary story behind his presence,- and his father's death."That means Sean sent the money to my account?" Brian asked.“Yes, on my orders. Because Sean saw you on that bridge, under the pouring rain of despair. But thank God, that money saved you from death," said Arnold, sounding very relieved but Brian felt embarrassed."But thanks to that money I was able to save Uncle's life," said Brian."I'm very happy because the money I gave could save two lives, yours and your loved ones," said Arnold.Brian looked at him."We did meet your uncle, but it seems Azil doesn't know at all that you are Miles' son. Your mother kept it a secret from everyone. We had to tell him first, tell him what happened. Who would have thought that Azil would have an accident, but right before he fainted, our men heard Azil mention your name,- and the campus where you study."Brian sighed. It turns out that w
The passage of time was visible on the back balcony. Nature begins to lift the dark curtain, replacing day with night. It turned out that the conversation took a lot of time, with emotional turmoil from the story being told.Brian enjoyed this relaxing time,- as if he felt like he was with family. Forget everything that has happened and focus on the story being told right now. Brian must be able to digest what is being said, what lessons are contained in the stories of his parent's past, and the reasons for his presence in the world.Arnold said that Azil confirmed that Brian was Miles' son,- because after leaving, Chintia never had contact with any man again. The money that Chintia had saved had run out to survive, luckily the woman had time to buy land for her residence and bought a plot of land, but all of Chintia's inheritance had been sold by Brian's aunt to cover debts and daily living expenses due to the disease. results of work. There aren't many uncles, especially Dion, who l
