Beware Of Mr. Amnesiacs
Twenty Six: Reason to Come
Shia stepped foot by foot down the stairs, she could feel everyone's gaze fixed on her. His lips tried to put on a thin smile. No one realized that the smile she was giving was an awkward smile.
His gaze was fixed on a familiar figure. He walked toward George and Robert who were seen together talking to a middle-aged man who exuded his wife even though the man was not young anymore.
Shia's brown netra then turned to the figure of a brownish-blonde woman who was on the side of the interlocutor Robert, a middle-aged woman who looked ageless. She was wearing a long black dress. That woman is so beautiful.
Shia smiled faintly as the netra of the two stared. The woman smiled as Shia stepped closer towards her.
“Miss Clarikson” greet the woman with a big smile
“Hello Mrs...” Shia is confused, he has to say hello back but he does not know who the woman is. Robert who noticed this smiled then whispered to Shia. The girl's body gasped for a moment when Robert mentioned the middle-aged couple in front of him.
“Sorry Mrs Hiddleton, I do not recognize you, I am Arshia Clarikson. You can call me Shia” Shia said spontaneously while shaking her hand.
Mrs. Hiddleton kicked Shia for a moment, then smiled broadly. “Oke Shia, call me Yerina just” he said.
“i can't Mrs. Hiddleton, it's not polite” said Shia refused politely.
“Its’s okay Shia. I want to get along with you. I admire your beauty, you are like me when I was young” he said with a sweet smile.
Shia did not expect that Mrs. Hiddleton was a very friendly and kind person. Just like her mother used to be.
“What if you call me mom?” bargained for
“You know my daughter is too busy pursuing her career until I forget to have a daughter”
“You want to have another daughter?” Jack asked with a smile. Jerina snorted while Shia was too cool with Jerina, so she did not realize that Robert and George had gone to greet the other guests.
Shia looked at the couple in front of her, her netting observing Jack's face. Shia can see facial features that are familiar to her.
“Don't look at my husband like that Shia, later he'll be a big head” Yerina said
“Ah sorry, I did not mean-“
“No papa, I know you have no bad intentions, Shia?” Yerina said still with her sweet smile.
“Sure Mrs's. Hiddleton”
“I told you to call me mom”
“But.”
“I don't accept the rejection loh” press it
“Oke” Said Shia resigned.
“I like you, Shia. If only we could be family” Yerina said, Shia just smiled thinly, confused what to respond.
Shia was still standing in place as a grown man approached towards them. More precisely to Jack. The two men were talking about a business that was able to make Shia's head dizzy. Yerina realized that, she pulled Shia towards the table containing snacks.
“How old are you, Shia?” Ask Yerina
“22 years”
“Oh wow. When I was your age I was already pregnant with my first son, haha” Yerina said as she picked up a glass of wine the waiter had brought
“You know the reason?” ask her
“Stupid?” guess Shia
“50 percent true”
“You were betrothed to your own boyfriend?” Guess Shia again, Jerina snorted
“You watch too many dramas, Shia” kekeh Yerina
“I never even watch” reply Shia
“Investment?”
“Yes, she invested her seeds faster than Yerina should have laughed, while Shia just smiled shyly. The small talk went on, Shia loved it it was like communicating with her own mother.
“By the way can I ask?” Shia said, she remembered her goal.
“Sure” Reply Yerina
“You know him?” Shia asked as she handed her phone to Yerina. Showing a picture of a very handsome man looks dreamy.
“Where did you get this photo?” Ask Yerina
“She's someone I know, I helped her a month ago right on the day of the plane crash.., Ah Sorry if I had been sassy talking about the accident”
Yerina smiled faintly, she handed the phone back to Shia, the mouth of Yerina who was about to speak stopped when she felt a tight embrace on her waist.
“Don't say anything” Whisper Jack that Shia didn't hear.
Shia looked at Yerina's mouth that was closed again, she looked at Jack who was hugging Yerina from behind looking very romantic. The scene reminded her of Liam, the man with the blue netra sometimes also hugged her like that. By the way he remembered now, jack's face was similar to Liam's, even the blue netra looked the same.
Shia turned around when she felt a touch on her hand, she found George standing behind her. The man's hand was stretched out to hold Shia.
“Mr. Hiddleton, Mrs. Hiddleton, sorry but I have to greet the guests with my fiancee this” George said. Shia could see Yerina who was nodding lazily in the same position, being hugged by Jack behind her.
“Sure, forgive my wife for holding your fiancee”. George nodded and told SHia to walk next to him, away from the Hiddleton couple.
“Why did you forbid me to say it?” Ask Yerina
“What are you going to say?” Ask Jack back
“Of course tell the truth that the man in the photo is Ace, our son!” ketus Jerina,
“Now I know the reason the boy insisted on coming to this party after returning from Italia”
“What is the reason?” Jack asked, the man raised one of his eyebrows.
“Meet the girl he likes, exactly like his father in the past!” Yerina said while turning her eyes lazy while Jack smiled satisfiedly. The falling fruit is not far from the tree.

A helicopter landed on top of a skyscraper in Texas. The figure of the man stepped down with a domineering aura.
“Welcome tuan” Excited the assistant, Travis.
“Hmm, Have my parents arrived here?” Ask her
“Already sir, they arrived this afternoon and now they have departed in a car driven by Han”
“Han? Assistant dad?” Ask again, Travis nodded
“Hah, Dad once dared to put a wolf in sheep's clothing by his side!” The man chuckled loudly, leaving a terrible impression for his subordinates.
“Prepare my car, I'll go alone!” His order.
“Good Tuan”
The man stepped into the elevator, pressed a button to the ground floor and looked at the mirror on the left side of the elevator.
The elevator door opened, making the man step out quickly. He got the car keys given by Travis. As he said, the man was driving his own car.
The black Porsche car splits the night streets of Texas.
the driver glanced at a glance at the clock coiled around his wrist before looking back at the road. It had been an hour since the party he wanted to attend had begun.
“Didn't the star always appear later” murmured with a faint grin.
