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
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
