*******

Marvin was replaced and welcomed warmly by all residents of the orphanage. Since Marvin was adopted by Mr. Mike. The estate has regular donors Mr. Mike and Mr. Louis. They are very grateful Marvin can grow well and become a well-known businessman. Not least bother his host family.

"How are you doing, son? I miss you so much ". The middle-aged woman hugged Marvin tightly. She's the caretaker's mother. Lady grace.

" I miss you too much, Aunt Grace ". Said Marvin while kissing mistress grace's cheek.

" Your wife didn't come? ".

" No aunty, she's been very busy lately. He also came home late yesterday. But he sends you greetings, and some gifts are also prepared for the children here ".

" It's okay Marvin, auntie understands, he's really quick to learn. The spoiled and careless girl turned out to be an adult. And now he's completely independent". Remember madam Grace in her smile.

" Aunty's right, she rarely bothers me now. He was trying to do what he could do himself. Sometimes I miss him who's spoiled like before".

"Auntie didn't think you'd finally marry Marinka. Aunty thought after you lost her you'd have a hard time opening your heart again ". Madame grace said softly.

" Aunty... Never mind.. I don't want to bring that up again. Moreover, what Mr. Mike and Mr. Louis have done is very big impact on me. I wouldn't be selfish to let them in trouble ".

"Is this some kind of marriage in return? ". Marvin took a long breath. Trying to shift his eyes in any direction.

" all right... Alright.. Forget that... How is Mr Louis now? ".

" It's better. His health has improved ".

" Can I give you a message? ".

" What is aunt? ". Ask Marvin softly.

" Whatever your initial goal is to marry Marinka, I beg you not to hurt her. She's a good woman. Although at first it was just to return the favor. But you must not forget your duty. Treat him well. You have to be fair to him. Take time for him. Don't share it with your endless work. Don't hurt Mr. Louis. Do you understand, son? ". Madame grace said lovingly. Marvin smiles.

"Alright aunt... I understand ".

They finally mingled with the other guests. While enjoying lunch. Suddenly another guest came. The one who went straight to Marvin and Madame Grace. Judging from his appearance it seemed like he was also one of the important people in the invitation.

" How are you old lady Grace didn't meet ". Said the man politely. Make Marvin and mistress Grace stop their activities. He is Mr. Andrew.

" ah.. Mr. Andrew .... It's good to see you back. Good news. How are you doing how? ". Greetings madam grace.

" My news is good, and my daughter's" too ". The answer is full of emphasis at the end of the sentence. Makes mistress grace a little paled and nervous.

" Of course.. You guys must always be good". His words covered his nervousness.

"I don't think you'll come like last year ".

" This year is a good time, for that I took the time to come. Is this Marvin, Mr Mike's son? ". She held out her hand to shake Marvin's hand. It was with great pleasure that Marvin accepted.

" Sure sir, it's good to see you". Greet Marvin warmly.

"I'm happier than you, Mr. Mike really takes care of you properly like his own son ".

" You know my foster father? ". Marvin asked enthusiastically.

" Of course, we're poor men who dream of having the perfect family. But our dreams are far from all that. Until finally we both adopted one of you here". Mr. Andrew is obviously meaningful.

"really... Who's aunty? , aunt never told me this". Marvin wanted to know.

"mmm... That's...____".

"Ah Yes.. I'll tell you later, there are many children here, sometimes aunts forget who they are. Now follow aunt, there is something to do aunty. Mr. Andrew, I hope you don't mind us staying ". Grace's auntie's words quickly pulled Marvin away.

" all right... Hopefully next time we can meet again. I miss this place after all these years of leaving town. I hope you can accompany me for a walk.... Marvin's". His words are full of emphasis.

"Of course, sir... ". He said politely he then walked following grace's aunt who pulled him strong.

Mr. Andrew just smiled looking at that while shaking his head.

" Why are you so scared of Grace ".

********

" Aunty... It's disrespectful, we're leaving an important guest.

"For me you and your family are more important ". Madame Grace said as she patted Marvin's hand gently.

" Aunty.. You're really overreacting. Who was the son that Andrew adopted? I must know him, right? ".

" Later you'll know Marvin, but not now ". Madame Grace half-dodging.

" If aunt says it now I know, the child in this place is no more than 100 people. I must have remembered it". Marvin felt madam Grace was hiding something. He suspected something but hurriedly he removed the thought from inside his brain.

***************

Marvin's a little tired of being in that place, he doesn't have any friends chatting among the many people here. They are busy with their own conversations.

"If only Leo and Marinka were here, I wouldn't be this bored ". Groused Marvin. Finally, he decided to take a walk around the house. Initially this home was once an old building that had been damaged here. Even the left right was empty.

But ever since Mr. Mike took Marvin from here they became regular donors and started building these parlors to be more decent with lots of rooms.

Land in his left right was bought and also built a garden and a comfortable playground for children, with a towering iron fence to protect small children from crime outside the home.

Marvin remembers his first meeting with Mr. Mike here. It was night time. Mr. Mike's car that crosses this road suffered a tire rupture. Luckily the streets were quiet and the car was not fast either. So that it does not cause a meaningful accident.

Mr. Mike had a hard time changing the tires of his car, and little Marvin helped. The boy was arguably strong enough for a child his age. The boy was so skilled that in a matter of minutes even a spare car tire was installed.

That's what amazed the couple, then brought him to the city to be adopted. Marvin smiled to remember all the family's kindness.

Now Marvin is sitting on the old bench next to the fish pond. This place is the only one that still exists. He used to spend a lot of time sitting here with his little friend.

To the extent that he begged Mr. Mike not to destroy these benches and fishponds while expanding the parlour building.

As a result Mr. Mike slightly widened the pool and repainted the old wooden bench to make it look decent. The pool is now cleaner and better maintained. The surrounding grass was cut neatly.

"How are you...? It's good to see you back ". A voice behind Marvin. The voice that broke his daydream. The voice that made him look at his source. And the voice that he had so longed for.

" Area.......... ". Marvin said. His body immediately pecked.

" Yes... I'm Arina.... It's good to see you again, Marvin's brother ". Said the girl gently her eyes glazed over.

" Did you miss me too? ".
