Dark Autumn's

11.

Leah thought, if you ask grandma. Is the old woman going to answer?

But of all the awkwardness and all sides that he did not even know, the family was in fact able to hide millions of mysteries that he wanted to reveal one by one.

"Nana, I'm coming... "

"Come in... "

The old voice sounded faint, soft, and also gave him goosebumps. Leah walked past the stretch of wood and again smelled a very pungent rose scent in this room.

"Sit down. "the grandmother commands gently. Lea could only respond to what the old woman said.

A few seconds just quiet. The woman was busy with the same activities, knitting.

Until in the next second, Nana's trembling voice broke the silence. "So what brings you here, son? "

Lea's heart warmed, she offered her best smile to the old granny before her. Grabbing the already wrinkled palm and grasping it tightly.

"I just want to visit you Nana!" pause for a moment, then continue. "I'm missing my parents, there's no other way than to meet a kind and gentle woman like you Nana! "

The old woman again put on a gentle smile, reaching for Lea's head for her swab.

"I know you're trying to say something! That's why you came here! " said Nana slowly. "Say, what is going on in your heart? "

Leah was perfectly bowed, with bitter laughter, and a throbbing heart of pain, and the sense of uneasiness and questionable feeling rose, so that she could no longer endure all the turmoil.

Staring at the clingy Nana, the two beads pounding out, and the choking breath, Lea asked, "Actually, what is the relationship between Val and Henny? I-I saw them walking from the same direction, last night! " lea asked in a stammering voice, trying to strengthen herself.

Actually, if anything bad happened, about Val and Henny. Then Lea left just like that, no problem, yet Val has not touched it at all after marriage.

"What do you think of your husband, son? "

Lea's lips were tightly clenched, her heart ached, throbbing pain and becoming increasingly painful when Nana looked at her with quivering pupils.

Lea desperately held back the cry. He doesn't want to look weak in front of anyone, including Nana.

The morning air that blows slowly, which is able to fly hair saplings and spread a splash from the Rose garden near the grandmother's room to feel so different.

"I think Val has more right to tell you!"

Grandma answered too briefly. Even that was not the answer Lea wanted, she wanted to hear the truth even though, perhaps, it would hurt or even break her heart.

"Well, if it's like that! " he answered while smiling.

"Never leave it even if everything that happens is not what you want! He needs you to free Lea! I mean, we need you to be free! "

"A-what do you mean Grandma?! "

The grandmother looked at me, then threw her gaze out the window. Look at the red rose plant right in front of the window.

"You know, every side of beauty must be on the side where she'll hurt you! "

Lea frowned questioningly. Trying to digest every old woman's speech in front of him.

"You look at the rose and you know she is Inda, so you often forget she has thorns! "

"You're right! " summit quickly.

Right, he even got stabbed by the thorn some time ago. The woman looked back at him gently, while pinning a smile.

"That's why, accompany Val to the end! He needs you! "

Leah was bowed for a moment, not understanding what really happened to the family until the family really needed her.

"I'll do it, if you tell me what's really going on in this family! And what's the connection between Val and Henny! "[]
