"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
Wake up from sleep when morning slowly turns into night. Brian felt like he had just had a good night's sleep and his body felt refreshed. The clock showed nine in the morning, for a moment Brian frowned."Nothing wakes me up anymore," thought Brian.Throwing back the blanket and getting out of bed, Brian walked to the bathroom to clean himself first before going downstairs where everyone was.Brian's morning felt better now. After he showered and got dressed, Brian left the room to join the others at the dining table. Azil was there with Alessia."You're awake," Alessia said as usual.Azil just showed a small smile as a good morning greeting to Brian.Taking the chair that Brian usually sat in, the man returned his uncle's smile. Alessia went to make a warm drink so Brian could have breakfast."Where's Auntie?" Brian asked his uncle."In the room. Dion went out to have a look. Sorry to bother you, Brian," said Azil.“Come on Uncle, stop saying that. I already said it's okay. Don't wo
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
