"Thank you, Auntie!", said Bervan with a smile.
He received the opened bottle of drinking water.a Because it was too thirsty, the little boy immediately spent the rest of the drinking water. Rose actually wanted to cry inwardly. Because he hasn't even had a drink. And now the drink was not even a drop left. Rose wanted to cry even more when Bervan completely stripped off all the remaining water.
Rose's throat became even drier when she saw the last drop of drinking water darting into Bervan's small mouth. The woman was really sorry for not drinking inside.
"Auntie! I want that fruit! But how about yes, take it?", asked Bervan with his innocent face while handing the empty bottle to Rose.
The two of them then turned their heads, staring at where the little boy's index finger was pointing. Rose folded her lips inwardly so tightly. And now his face turned worried as he occasionally glanced at his sinister master who was busy with his phone.

While inside, in the middle room, separate two people who are still pecking in their respective places. The room was still so quiet, silent, that only the whirling sound of the wind could be heard inside. Verily, the two men were being consumed by the unsolved awkwardness within them. Bella was still standing, but her eyes were turned in any direction, which was important not to meet the person. As for Victor, he continued to stare at the woman with a deep gaze that was hard to read.
"You,,,".
"You, you," until the two finally opened their voices at the same time. Expel the sound of the wind rushing.
"You speak first!", said Victor in a calm voice.
"No, no! You're the first one!", Bella waved her hands in front of her chest with an awkward expression that she couldn't yet remove from her face.
"You!", while Victor can control his emotions. The man's face remained calm. But that's what makes Bella even more unable to control herself. He felt like it was very difficult to get rid of his nervousness.
"It's okay! You go first!", the woman smiled stiffly.
"Ladies first!", said Victor briefly.
But that way, Bella was getting nervous with the flat face of the man who had not met for a very long time. Bella is increasingly distressed and confused about what to say first.
The woman breathed so long before she opened her mouth. But it had opened its mouth it felt like all of its words were swallowed back into its throat. Today it is more like a fish that has run out of oxygen in its gills.
"You how are you?", finally came out the voice from his mouth. Although it was only one short question he was able to say at the moment. The woman also looked wrong.
"Yes, here! You can see for yourself!", Victor rolled his eyeballs to the side, raising his shoulders while smiling wryly. This is the situation that is bearing the predicate as a patient. He also had to be assisted by a wheelchair.
Bella lowered her face. He turned his eyes to the side. He also felt devastated himself hearing the answer.
"You! How are you?", the baritone's voice made him hurriedly wipe away the trace of tears on his face. He didn't want the man to see him cry. Later that person will think that he is pitying him.
"Good! I'm fine!", the woman immediately presented a beautiful smile that even though it still looked stiff.
"And, uh Ber, van?", asked Victor, hesitating.
"Oh, Bervans! He must be very good! You can see for yourself, right?! If the child becomes a very intelligent child and more mature than a child his age. Bervan is also a cheerful boy. He's grown up well. Eating too much, so now he became taller faster. We're both fine! Yes, very fine!", Bella ended all her bases with an awkward smile and a nod of her head.
He just hopes the nervousness and awkwardness that he feels can melt by saying at length like this.
"all right? Heh! You think I'll believe it?", Victor, who then lowered his head, asked in a cold tone.
Hearing that question, Bella immediately nailed to her current place. His knees suddenly felt limp, so he then fell down sitting on the sofa behind him. His hands that he could originally bear to not tremble, now even vibrate without being able to prevent. He held his hands together to prevent the shaking from getting worse.
Why ask like that?! Why should that question be?! Bella didn't want to hear it at all. All this time he had been trying to be strong and fine. So do not ask again what he felt and he lived before! Because all the burden of feeling that was originally buried was like going out like a fountain. Don't ask me again, he begs in his heart! He did not want to pry what he had done with all his heart!
"I'm doing fine! Why are you asking like that?", Bella ventured to raise her face after she could control her feelings that began to break like a mirror stoned. The woman also made her lips smile to strengthen her speech.
"I can't believe it!", cried Victor loudly. He also raised his head, they were now directly seated.
"Don't believe it?", asked Bella back while furrowing her eyebrows.
"What is your business to know how I've been doing all this time?! I'm doing fine! My son is fine! And that's enough for me! So don't ask me again as if you care!", finally the emotions that are being held out also came out of Bella's mouth. The woman exclaimed rather loudly in an emotional voice.
"Yes, of course because I care! I deserve to know what happened to you all this time! Why didn't you ever say anything to me? Why have you been quiet all this time? Am I so useless that you choose to endure it yourself?! Do you know that?! I look like a fool who knows nothing!", Victor is also emotional. He raised his tone a little.
From the direction of the kitchen, Uncle Alex heard the commotion. There were other servants who heard it as well. The two men were worried about their sick employer.Uncle Alex took the initiative to peek. Looking at the situation, the middle-aged man felt that the current was not the time.his master and the woman still needed time to talk. So he decided to continue his work again while watching from afar. If his master's condition weakens, then he will come closer to it.
"I,,", Bella clasped her trembling hand tighter.
"I just don't want you getting involved any further with my brother! And also, as a thank you to me for helping me a few times!", Bella looked down sad. Trying hard to hold back her tears that were ready to surge out.
"Why should you do that, Bella?! I'm not that weak to go head-to-head with your brother! I will fight if I am innocent. And ever since I went to your country, I've known about my illness. Therefore, as much as I could avoid getting involved further with you", Victor moved his wheelchair closer to where Bella sat.
"Your sister's mouth I'm sure I can handle it. But with you, if I continue to deal with you, I'm afraid I won't dare to let you go! I'm afraid I'll only leave you sorrow for my illness, Bella! I don't want to make you sad!", Victor's voice softened. He took Bella's trembling hand to hold it with his own.
