Brian finally calmed down after a while. The man remained where he was, only now he changed his legs to cross-legged on the carpet. Brian's surroundings looked messy but he didn't care and started to lose himself in thought.“I have to know the truth. I will believe the evidence. However, I need a reasonable reason for the blood flowing in my veins," Brian said to himself.His cold and sharp gaze focused forward, on the photo frame showing his mother's beautiful face illuminated by moonlight from the window with the curtains closed. That woman was his mother who had secretly brought Brian into the world. Throughout Brian's life until now, he never thought that maybe his father would still be around, Brian never hoped again. Brian's small heart decided to bury that hope,- and confirmed that his father had died.But apparently, the whisper in his heart at that time was a prayer. His father was no longer in the world, but there were still people who could tell Brian about this man, and t
After everything that happened, Brian seemed to have lost his enthusiasm. His gaze was still blank even though he woke up in the afternoon and took a shower, completely different from usual. Brian seemed to live in another world.After showering, Brian felt fresher, but his head remained empty. There's nothing Brian can think about right now other than the picture of the test results in the file stored on the table not far from Brian's bed. It looks like Alessia put the brown envelope there. But Brian only glanced briefly then walked out of the room.Slowly descending the stairs, Brian's enthusiasm for life seemed to disappear. Although his footsteps were slow, he almost tripped. Was that fact so surprising that it changed his every expression and even his steps?"You're here," said Alessia who met Brian at the bottom of the stairs.Brian's gaze fell on the girl's hand which was holding something.“Oh, here. I did a little shopping and delivered Kiara's things, like the ones you said
As soon as he finished telling what happened when he met Kiara's family and revealed the test results that Brian got to Alessia. Brian was surprised to see the girl's expression."How is that possible? You… is that –" Alessia stuttered.Brian observed the girl's surprised expression. His expression was so natural, like when Brian found out the test results.“That's what they said, and from the test results,” said Brian.Even so, Brian still kept an eye on Alessia. Something made Brian believe in the girl, that Alessia had another boss, in other words, Alessia had a job but who knows what it was. Brian didn't know for sure, but to some extent Brian was sure.Alessia really couldn't believe that fact. He even looked more surprised than Brian.“So that's why you shut yourself away and changed a little? This news has shaken you up,” said Alessia.Brian nodded his head, confirming what the girl said. That's why Brian is like that, but that hasn't changed completely. However, it is still di
Curious about what happened and who was looking for Brian, the man got up from his seat and walked over to Alessia who was still receiving a call from the guard in front of the entrance gate to the housing complex where Brian was now.Standing next to the girl, Brian paid close attention to what they were talking about."I see. I'll say it first. Wait a moment," said the girl, and took the telephone receiver away from her ear and turned to Brian.Brian's gaze turned to Alessia, asking who was looking for him.“Someone is looking for you, but the guards can't let him in without your permission. Here they are waiting for confirmation from you," explained Alessia as she handed Brian the telephone receiver."Who is looking for me?" Brian asked again.“Hm. Who knows. But the doorman said the person said it was your uncle," answered Alessia.Brian's eyes widened when he heard someone coming who claimed to be his uncle. Did Uncle Brian come? How could that be?Receiving a call from Alessia,
"I've come back and brought him," said Alessia, reporting to Brian, whom she met in the yard.Brian nodded his head and directed his gaze to the three people behind Alessia.The first person Brian saw was a middle-aged man whose skin was blackish brown due to being exposed to the sun for too long and the result of his hard work earning a living for his family. The face that was once brightly smiling and the calm eyes that Brian had always missed were now present in front of him, soothing Brian's heart, who was not feeling well, his heart seemed to be doused with morning dew."Uncle," said Brian to the man who was quite tall like Brian."My son," answered the man, smiling broadly.Even though his smile and gaze were still the same, the man's body was no longer the same, he looked frail and thin as if he had not been taken care of.Unable to resist the growing longing, Brian approached the man and threw himself into his uncle's warm embrace.Brian would only be spoiled by his uncle, but
"It's nothing. As long as I can give you something, Uncle," said Brian quietly.“You have always been like that, even since childhood. You look a lot like your mother," commented Azil which made Brian smile a little.Azil began to explain his purpose in coming to look for Brian, his body condition had completely improved. There are several things that Azil wants to say to Brian before he forgets, as well as saying thank you to Brian who has given him many things, a house for them to live in for the rest of their lives without having to worry about bills, money to pay other bills such as electricity and shopping, as well as paying off the debts they have incurred. Especially Dion's debt. Brian did all this with Secret's help on the condition that Brian was willing to analyze many things about the Kent company and follow all of Secret's orders.Of course, Brian gave Azil a reason for doing that. Because after all, Azil is Brian's only family. Azil is also his guardian, so it's Brian giv
There was silence for a long time, lost in thought and Azil watched Brian. The newly revealed facts seemed to encourage Brian to find out what happened. However, who knows what Brian might do."Brian," called Azil.The man turned around with a sad look.“I know this is not easy to accept. Because I needed time to accept it, there were lots of questions lodged in my head. However, you have to find out for yourself, that way you can make a decision. That may or may not be true. But, only one person can explain the truth to you,” Arnold said.Brian looked at him."Yes. That's your grandfather, Arnold Kentinx. But as far as I know, the man is sick," said Azil.Brian's brow furrowed.“You should hear it directly from him, not from me. So, meet him as soon as possible when you have the chance. If the opportunity is lost, you will only regret it.”Azil's words made Brian even more silent."Should?" Brian muttered.“Yes, of course you should. You have to listen first to what happened in the p
After dinner and chatting again with his uncle, Brian said goodbye and went to bed early and because Azil was still taking medicine, Brian told him to rest. The journey from village to city takes quite a long time.I don't know how, but Brian handed over the supervision of his aunt and Dion to Alessia. The girl agreed without protest. Brian himself lay on a soft mattress. But his eyes didn't immediately close, he just lay on his back on the bed and stared at the ceiling of his room with his hands under his head."Should I leave tomorrow without telling my arrival plans first?" Brian thought.Brian had made the decision to go see Arnold tomorrow after dropping off his uncle. Azil still insisted on going and going with him wherever his wife went tomorrow to shop and have fun. Even though he admitted that he would be fine, Brian was worried about Azil because after all his uncle was still undergoing treatment.The clock showed ten o'clock in the evening. Brian squinted and sighed, then g
