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
“I'll look around, is that okay?” Brian asked after seeing Arnold lying in his lounge chair."Of course. I'll also go out after dinner is finished. You can do anything in this house. But, don't go too far," suggested Arnold.Brian nodded his head and got up from sitting."Okay then, I'll go out," he said."Yeah. You, just follow him, so you don't wander off alone," said Arnold before Brian moved away from him.Brian had a smile on his face and thanked him. Arnold sighed heavily, but seeing Brian who looked happy, he had no choice. As soon as Brian came out, Arnold smiled broadly.“He's still small,” he commented.Liam just smiled."Dad just had fun doing it, didn't he?" Liam asked.Arnold looked at him.“Putting the girl next to him,” Liam said.A smile appeared on Arnold's face again.“I know better about it, that's why I assign. Of course with Sean's permission," explained Arnold.Both men smiled, while Brian didn't know anything.The man looked around him, he saw many servants. I d
Brian turned around and faced the two people who had just arrived, his gaze flat as he welcomed their arrival."What are you doing here?" asked Kiara, the person who had just arrived with Al."Are you home yet?" Said Brian, ignoring the little girl's question."Yeah. I wasn't planning on going out to dinner at first. Is there a problem? Why is your tone so flat, Uncle?" Kiara answered as she walked over to Brian."That's none of your business," said Brian.Al nodded his head at Brian like his typical greeting.“Don't look at him too hard, Uncle. He's still little," Kiara whispered in front of Brian.There was no response from Brian other than a sharp glance at the girl."Welcome," Brian greeted Al.A smile appeared on the boy's face, and he nodded his head.Kiara chuckled at the stiff interaction between Brian and Al.“So, what are you guys doing here? I thought you were home, Uncle?" Kiara spoke again.It seemed like the girl couldn't stop talking when she was with Brian, she liked b
