Different Age But Love

Hendrico's Hidden Feelings

"Why don't you just be honest with the kid?". Amelia had been caught off guard seeing Hendrico all day raging in the office.In fact she messed up all the meetings that day because of his bad mood.

"Whose son?". Hendrico knew that Amelia meant Crystal.he was always sensitive when she heard the word child because it signified a long age gap between Hendrico and Kristal.

"Hen I also know where the wound on the corner of your lip came from". Amelia said cynically. Hendrico glanced at Ryan.

"It wasn't Ryan who told me I was there when you fought Armand".

Damnit damnit!

Hendrico covered his face with both palms.

That afternoon Kristal ate with Kiano at the Nine cafe. he looked gloomy and just played his meal. he got a story from bi Yun about the incident last night between his brother and Hendrico.

"Do you want me to take you to see him?". Kiano asked. he was anxious to see Kristal who spent his time daydreaming all day at work even he was not focused until madam Marcia reprimanded him.

"No need".

"I don't think it's necessary". Kiano glanced at Hendrico who had just appeared and was now standing behind the Crystal. Kristal looked back and he found Hendrico staring at him as if his heart had stopped beating.

Both of them sat on park benches. The crystal holds the wound at the corner of Hendrico's lip. Hendrico smiled and held Crystal's hand.

How can I not fall for you Krist?, well will I hold on as hard as possible so that this feeling does not become love for you. according to the wishes of your brother Armand.

"Sister I'm willing to marry you. I don't care our age. If you're old I'll take care of you". Crystal word sincere. Kristal tried to find his handkerchief but no one he forgot to take it. Finally he got a Hendrico tie to wipe his tears. Hendrico smiled he let the girl behave as she wanted. At the distance Ryan and Amelia held back their laughter seeing the childish incident.

"Listen to me stupid girl, follow your sister because she is your guardian. Don't defy her, she really loves you Crystal".

"But why doesn't he approve of us?".

"Trust me Armand only wants what's best for you". Hendrico looked pityfully at the beautiful face of Crystal who looked so sad.he seemed to want to hug him and calm the girl.

"You know how I used to win your heart, but I always lose". Said Kristal lirih. Hendrico looked at Crystal's eyes sadly.this time he was the loser and so a loser because he could not fight for his love for Crystal.

"If my brother sent me to America would you let me go, brother?". This time Kristal looked into Hendrico's shady eyes.

"Well, the day after Armand's birthday there's going to be a little party to celebrate. I want to see how much you feel about me. You're going to fight for me or let me go".

Crystal walked away leaving Hendrico sitting on a park bench. Amelia and Ryan approached Hendrico.

"She's beautiful, smart and rich.Your age is 16. She says she'll take care of you if you're old later.Isn't that an incredible fortune like getting a big draw?". Tanya Amelia convinced Hendrico.he was also anxious with Hendrico who became a coward in his love story.

That's why I'm self-conscious and don't dare to step in with him.
