Last Night With Your Papa

Not willing to part

Linda's main mansion.

"i'm not ready to go yet"

Bastian suddenly said like that tonight, not knowing what was going on but their departure plan was eventually delayed.

"Why?"

Linda asked while frowning.

"There's a lot of things I have to do, mom, and I have a big responsibility right now as to how everyone is trying to trust me and how can I betray them mom"

Bastian spoke quickly to try to convince the woman before him, saying he could not leave all the responsibilities that had been handed to him.

"everyone had seen that night where Uncle Gibran gave me all the Conte companies, it wasn't about being greedy or not but it was about great responsibility, where Conte's employees need a leader to control the company and they need a salary to support their family mom"

the man continued to talk while staring into his mommy's eyeballs, hoping Linda would understand what he was saying, remember how everyone makes a surprise so does his mommy and puts great responsibility on her.

"imagine if I go, who'll take care of everything mom?"

hearing his son's words immediately Linda was silent, although it is undeniable that he was actually happy Bastian finally understood the meaning of responsibility but he could not possibly survive in this place after many things had happened.

there have been so many nightmares that have happened over the past dozen years, even living in that place makes Linda seem to remember various kinds of past events, he said, even the flames of anger as well as his hatred for the two families that he could not extinguish completely until today, he said, nor could he make peace with the past where there was so much sadness that they had to go through all this time.

he even struggled and struggled to erode the past in his life, and he simply could not do it completely.

without having to connect to the past or see people in their past, in fact the responsibility that has been given to him makes it difficult for the man to leave the country.

"what if mommy goes alone?"

the woman asks Bastian while looking into his son's eyeballs, although the reality is that Bastian is not his biological son and Bastian is the son of his twin sister Winda, but he did not consider the man to be like his son at all.

There was a million sorrows when he said that as if he was going to release half his soul and get himself out of the way.

hearing Linda's words clearly Bastian immediately shook his head.

"No Mommy, I need you, even desperately need you, what can I do without you, mom? don't even think about splitting up and leaving each other"

Bastian immediately raised his voice a little, he was not angry but he was sad and I don't know what, he wasn't ready to part from Linda.

"i don't want us to be far apart"

added the man again, he grasped tightly the palm of his mommy.

"i wouldn't be willing if Mommy did it"

Linda looked silent, she stared at Bastian's face for some time while peeling her eyeballs, not knowing how to spread it but he felt the current state of affairs was clearly not okay and he could instantly feel a doubt hitting him.
