"Hah?" Of course, this made Alessia surprised and confused.
"Sorry. It suddenly occurred to me. I need to know about you if I want to stay here. By opening up to each other there will be trust," explained Brian.
Alessia was silent when she heard Brian's question. The girl looked confused now.
“I… I think maybe a year above you, or maybe below you. "I'm twenty-two years old," Alessia said then, moving her eyes as if answering thoughtfully,- as if she wasn't sure.
Brian's forehead frowned.
"Twenty-two years?" Brian repeated.
The girl nodded slightly.
“Then we are the same age. What month were you born in?" Brian asked again. It was a surprise for Brian to find out Alessia's age.
Alesia's eyes widened, a sign that

Brian's recent meeting just discussed some campus assignments which are divided into jobs. Brian will face an internship program from his campus as a graduation requirement as well as experience in the future. The campus will determine the location. Brian just followed the instructions given.“Your meetings usually go like this?” Alessia asked, not understanding as soon as Brian returned to his car.Brian turned his head and nodded. “Yeah, like this. Why?""It's just a short time," said Alessia.The man was silent, quite aware of what happened at each meeting."They were busy, so they only met briefly. Besides, I already had my share of assignments so it wasn't a problem," explained Brian.Alessia didn't say anything now but kept quiet and focused on driving. The roads are busy in the afternoon, especially on weekends, when vehicles are usua
The Mission of the Lost Heir 26. Another Story
Two days passed so quickly that Brian had already memorized a lot about Kent's Group, the company Secret had asked him to look for. Of course with Alessia's help too. The girl looked more excited than Brian himself.Yesterday there was a message from The Secret asking Brian to summarize what Brian knew, studied, and noted about Kent's Group,- so that Brian could get the next clue.Rain has been pouring on the city since noon. Brian has finished doing what The Secret ordered him to do for his mission."So the next mission will be given as before?" Alessia asked while giving a cup of warm drink to Brian who was watching the rain."Yes. It's a secret to say it in the message. As usual," said Brian as he took the cup that the girl had provided earlier."Secret? You named it Secret?" Alessia asked.Brian's head nodded in confirmation. The girl laughed.“Why do you call it that?”"Because he doesn't show who he is in the slightest. Everything he says is confidential, that's why I call him t

Again, Brian couldn't believe how the letter was always there on his living room table when the morning greeted him. Brian was curious to see firsthand how this mysterious figure could enter so easily.“Does Secret have access?” Brian asked himself.Brian stood up while putting his hands in his trouser pockets. Just like before, Brian had showered and changed clothes before coming down. Not only every time there is a new lead, but every morning Brian is so neat."Didn't read it?" Alessia came carrying a tray containing two cups of warm drinks as usual.The girl was still standing next to Brian, who just stared silently at a small box on the table containing a letter in an envelope.“I was just thinking, how can Secret get in and out without waking me up,” Brian said. “What about you, did you hear or see anything?” Brian asked, glancing at Alessia who was focusing her attention on the table."No," answered the girl briefly. "I didn't hear anything," said Alesia, returning Brian's gaze.

What they saw in the garage was not far from Eagle's previous car. Just as luxurious and branded, only this car is pure white. Brian gasped when he saw it.“Just like the previous car,” said Brian."That's right," said Alessia, who was watching the car.The car doesn't seem to be as new as the Eagle. However, both are BMW types. The Secret seemed to know that Brian wouldn't like being given the sports-style car that conglomerate kids often show off to ensnare girls. Brian is not the type of person who likes to spread charm.The inside of the car is not much different from the Eagle, the features are almost the same, even the dashboard. Brian was surprised by what Secret was thinking when he decided to give the car to Brian."So what do you think?" Alessia asked when they were in the car with Brian sitting behind the wheel.The garage is quite larg

Day by day began to pass. Brian returned to his previous daily activities, only what was different now was that Brian no longer needed to work from morning until he met in the morning again just to fulfill his girlfriend's wishes or collect a salary from work to pay for college and living expenses, for his uncle in the village.Brian carried out his activities in a relaxed manner. Now Brian can get a driver's license so he is free to take his car wherever Brian wants, while Alessia waits at home while doing the girl's work.Currently, there are no missions from The Secret. Brian is also still trying to solve the clue that Brian last received. Sometimes Secret sends him text messages on his cell phone.

Brian arrived in front of his house. The gate opened slowly. Tiredness began to set in when Brian turned off the car engine. The man took a deep breath then got out of the car and walked towards the stairs connected to the lounge.Alessia greeted Brian with a happy smile, but then the girl's smile disappeared when she saw the blood stain on the corner of the man's lips."Oh my God. You're bleeding," Alessia exclaimed.Brian ignored him, just walked towards the sofa, and landed his butt there. Alessia followed without asking but was worried to see him.“I'll get the medicine box. Wait here," said the girl and immediately got up to look for the medicine box.Brian's eyes were closed, his body felt so tired but comfortable from sitting on the soft sofa.Alessia returned not long after with a medicine box and a glass of cold water for her master.

The two remained silent after distancing themselves. Both Brian and Alessia became nervous and embarrassed. Brian even felt embarrassed in the corner of the sofa. The man was struggling in his heart, between justifying his actions and blaming her.Not much different from Brian, Alessia also looks embarrassed. The girl bit her lower lip in embarrassment."Oh my God. This is so embarrassing. What have I done?" Brian thought to himself as he closed his eyes. "Oh come on."They didn't speak for a while, still busy with each other, arguing with their hearts and minds over the incident."That -""Yes?" Alessia answered spontaneously then looked away again.It was clear that Brian was surprised by Alessia's spontaneity and Brian didn't even say anything."Sorry," the girl said quietly while avoiding him."Oh no. I should be the one apologizing. I just got carried away," said Brian in a low tone.Alessia didn't say anything.“In my opinion… it doesn't affect the contract. Let's just say I was

After falling asleep again and crying in the middle of the night, Brian woke up again that morning. His eyes opened slowly, and the morning light visible from behind the thin curtains greeted him. Brian took a long, deep breath and then moved slowly.Brian lay on his back on his bed and focused his attention on the ceiling again, and again it had become a habit for Brian to daydream.“Mother, I miss you. But Mom can rest easy there now because I'm no longer in trouble. However, do you know who the Secret is?” Brian said silently.After lying in bed for a while, Brian realized that he hadn't changed his clothes at all, let alone showered. Brian had just fallen asleep last night and woke up in the middle of the night only to cry sadly about missing his mother.While sitting down, Brian sighed again, the memory of Brian kissing Alessia flashed back into his mind making Brian feel embarrassed

His watch was on, and so were his shoes."Let's go, Young Master," said Kiara, peeking at Brian from behind his bedroom door. The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

163. The Effect of Sorry
Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop

162. Jennifer's Confession
Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”

After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would

"I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise? Brian doesn't know, but now the question is why his mother left after trying to survive

“You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so

"So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?" Brian asked in a weak voice.Brian's chest was now rumbling, there was a feeling of tightness touching his chest. What might Brian have heard from Azil about his mother making secret decisions?Azil sighed, focusing his gaze on Brian who was waiting to hea

Brian's busy life is always the same, studying, practicing, and working. Spending time doing many things doesn't make him feel bored, the man is enthusiastic about continuing. If no one reminded him to rest, Brian would drown in his busy life.Alessia is like a living alarm for Brian, the girl reminds Brian when it's time to rest, have lunch or dinner, and when he should go to bed early and wake up. Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now? I'll pick you up," said Brian."No need. "I've arrived," said Azil."Here?" Brian turned around and looked for his uncle."Yes

Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
