Ineffable Life (P. Mafia and Mr. Idol)

Part 5: The Meeting

Ana drove her car fast towards the mansion. He had ordered his men to prepare his helicopter at the mansion. With a swift Ana immediately ran towards the helipad in the mansion where there was already a pilot who stood by inside. Ana tightened her seatbelt and immediately flew towards City Bs. The distance will take too long if you use a car.

Within 1 hour Ana arrived at Bs. A hitan van had been waiting near Ana's helicopter stop on the sidelines of a large field. A well-built man with an all-black stelan stood up to greet Ana.

"We managed to find Ms. Grey." she said, welcoming Ana to open her car door.

"Where is he?" Said Ana lirih. His eyes looked teary.

"There's a tea plantation.. Let me take you.." Ana immediately got into the car followed by her bodyguard.

"How is he doing?" Ana asked softly as she gazed towards the window looking at the vast tea garden landscape.

"She looks fine Ms. Grey. He lived alone near the tea plantation." Add the man again.

"Where is the boy?" Ask Ana curiously.

"We didn't find her Miss. And haven't asked him that yet.."

"Alright.." nodded Ana understood.

From behind the window of Ana's car can see a middle-aged woman sitting with another Ana bodyguard. He could recognize the woman's face. The shadow of the woman even always crossed Ana's mind since 20 years ago. The woman who saved him. The woman who changed Ana's life. Ana quickly took off her safetybelt and immediately stepped out of the car. The middle-aged woman looked at him confusedly. Ana's tears were unstoppable.

"Aunt Layla.." said Ana Lirih.

The woman who heard his name called it as soon as she realized who the young girl who was standing in front of her was. Because that name is only a memory from 20 years ago. Now she is just an old woman with a different name and identity.

Her eyes looked teary looking at Ana. Now he knows Ana.

"Anaa.." she shook.

"Yes.it's me Bi.." nodded Ana immediately hugged Aunt Layla whom she had been looking for all this time. "Where have you been. I've been looking everywhere for you. Why have you left me.." Ana's cry broke out instantly.

"I'm sorry.I want to protect you Ana. I'm sorry.."

"Why would you leave me Bi. You know how hard my life is?" Ana sobs in Aunt Layla's arms.

"I'm sorry Ana.." Aunt Layla just cried loudly in Ana's arms.

The night sky was full of stars. The cold weather poked to the bone. Ana lay her head on Aunt Layla's lap sitting on a wooden cot in front of Aunt Layla's porch. The house looks very simple. Lots of trees there.

"I've been looking for you for the last 5 years.. Grandma Jane always forbade me to look for you.. It's like covering it up. " murmured Ana.

"How did you know I was here?" layla asked curiously as she gently rubbed Ana's hair.

"You don't need to know Bi.. All you have to know is that I never stopped looking for you.."

"How are your parents?" layla asked intensely.

Ana looked at Layla with a sad look. "They're dead Bi.they were in an accident 3 months ago in the country L.. That's why I'm in this country." explained Ana blankly.

"I'm so sorry Ana. I'm so sorry. You must have been so hurt.." Layla hugged Ana warmly in her lap.

"At least I've been trying to be a good boy, and now it's time for me to devote my life to continuing their hard work.. I won't let them down Bi.. I'll keep doing my best.."

"You can definitely Ana.. You're a good boy.. You're a strong boy, they must be very proud of you.. Your parents love you very much.. And Grandma Jane. hmm. I think she does too.." Aunt seemed hesitant with her answer.

"Really Ana.." Aunt Layla tried a little reassuringly.

"Grandma seemed to be hiding something from me. She forbade me from looking for you and brother.. I'm sure there's something strange about the accident.." Ana seemed to be thinking hard.

"Are you sure? The accident could happen at any time Ana." Layla said trying to calm down.

"I'm sure.. Mr. Kim was left in a separate car at the time.. My parents left with their new driver.. I never separated from Mr. Kim.. I investigated everything secretly.."

"Be careful Ana. You don't know what you're going to face.." Layla meant it.

Ana understands Aunt Layla's meaning. She's sure Aunt Layla must know something.

"Oh yeah.Where's brother?" Ana asked suddenly thought of her older brother.

Aunt Layla was just stunned.

Ana jumped up immediately from her sleep.

"I haven't been with him since you left.. Grandma said you took her away.. So I think you really took him and left me.."

"A. I never brought her Ana. and I never intended to leave you. Really." replied Aunt Layla soon to realize what was really going on after she left.

"Ah or maybe he got another foster parent??" added Aunt Layla lying.

"She must have found her foster parents and lived happily together like you Ana.." aunt Layla rubbed Ana's hair gently trying to divert the conversation.

Because Aunt Layla knew that Grandma Jane had done something to the boy. Maybe it doesn't even exist in this world anymore. Aunt Layla muttered sadly inwardly.

Ana was just stunned at the thought of where her older brother went. "Auntie doesn't know what I went through after you left.."

"They hurt you?" Her question was agitated.

"No.. They loved me.. But I'm having a hard time mingling with a lot of people.. until finally I was home schooling and got treatment from a psychologist for 5 years to cure my trauma.." Ana bowed lethargic.

"But I'm fine now. All thanks to you Auntie. I've found you. Now I'll be fine.." Ana smiled warmly and hugged her aunt tightly.

"I'm glad you're okay Ana.. That's more than enough for me.."

"Now my happiness is complete Bi. because I have found you. You saved me. You took care of me at the expense of your life.. Hmmmm.. Aunt stay with me. I'll take care of you.." Ana cupped the woman's wrinkled face warm. Staring warmly.

"I don't want to trouble you Ana." Aunt Layla seemed hesitant.

"Don't say that.you're everything to me. I beg you to come along.."

"I'm not sure about that.."

"You don't deserve to work hard like this at a young age.It's time you enjoyed your old age.." Ana knows there's a lot of things Aunt Layla can't tell her.

"..." - ".Aunt Layla only nodded despite the looks of doubt in her eyes. She couldn't imagine what Grandma Jane would do to her if she knew that Aunt Layla had already found her.

Before finding Aunt Layla. There is a man who contacts Ana's men and tells her that Aunt Layla has changed her identity, making her difficult to find.

Then he told her that he had seen Aunt Layla in the countryside. Usually this happens often. In order for the informant to receive money in return for their information, but after checking it turned out that the information was fake. But not this time. This information is very accurate.
