Mr. Hephephobias

CHAPTER 132 - Grandson of the Team

At the main Villa, Lucia helps Rayn treat her injuries. Rayn looked calmer at this moment along with Lucia. After treating Rayn's wounds, Lucia moved from her seat to go make Rayn breakfast. Just as Lucia was about to head to the kitchen, she saw Mickey standing in the living room staring at the outside courtyard from behind the window, and Lucia came up to him.

"Let's take a moment to have breakfast together" Lucia told Mickey.

Mickey shook his head. "No Lucia, I'll be back in Canada soon. There's a lot of things I have to finish there. Besides, it might be a little difficult for me to deal with it right now" Mickey said as he stared upstairs, right where Rayn's room was.

"What are you going to do after this? Do you have a plan? " ask Lucy.

"Eeem, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. Don't worry and don't think about anything that's not. Live your happy life as it should, believe me, everything will be fine. Maybe Leona will contact you soon about the continuation of healing phobia Rayn" said Mickey with a calm face. "Lussia, for this I will count on you and Leona" he continued.

"Are you sure everything's gonna be okay? I'm worried about you, too, Mickey. Not only myself, but I'm sure Rayn is also very worried about you more than anyone" said Lucia who was also worried about Mickey.

The wound has not only become a bitter pill that Rayn has, but it has also become a bitter memory in Mickey's life. The fact that Mickey's father is alive seems to make them swallow the pills to lose their mother in the hands of the same person. Torturing the inner self by blaming each other, well.that's what Rayn and Mickey are currently doing.

Mickey again asks Lucia not to worry. "Don't worry, my father is still in jail for his other crimes. As long as he's still serving his sentence, I still have time to prove the crimes he's committed to Rayn's mother" Mickey replied.

Lucia could see and feel the heavy weight that was on Mickey's shoulders. Mickey endured and endured it alone with no one by his side. No one saw that he also had a fragile heart.

Slowly Lucy approached and she embraced Mickey. Mickey could only fall into a silent embrace of Lucia with a puzzled look on his face. Slowly Lusia patted Mickey on the shoulder in his arms repeatedly.

"Thank you Mickey because you've been fighting to keep Rayn. I know this moment is also very difficult for you, but trust me, Mickey, you're not alone because Rayn and I will always be there and on your side. You've done your best, so stop bearing all this burden yourself." Lucia took off her arms and smiled at Mickey.

With his face moved, Mickey smiled back at Lucia's smile. "Thank you Lucia, this time I'm handing Rayn over to you. I know you're the only person who can make him happy" Mickey said, leaving Villa.

..

..

Lucia had finished her busy life in the kitchen, they then enjoyed their breakfast without Mickey. "Rayn.." call Lucia suddenly in the middle of their meal time.

"I still have a few days off, how about we go visit my mom and stay there?" lusia asked hoping Rayn would agree to it.

Rayn smiled looking at Lucia's expectant face, without thinking she immediately nodded while saying something that made Lucia smile embarrassedly. "There's nothing I can refuse if it's my beloved wife's request." Rayn said with a sweet smile on her lips.

Lucia was very happy and embarrassed to hear Rayn's words calling herself "Love wife". Never imagined by him in the past if he would have a husband figure that is so caring, sweet and understanding like Rayn.

Rayn and Lusia finally decided to go visit Lucia's mother in the fishing village. The two began packing up some clothes and necessities that they would need there after finishing breakfast. All the luggage had been neatly arranged in the suitcase and they were ready to go on a trip that would take hours.

When Rayn and Lucia were about to put their suitcases in the car, there was already Arka who was busy stuffing her suitcase into the back of the trunk. "Young master Rayn couldn't have left me alone at Villa and travelled without me right?" ask Arka with a smile.

Rayn stares back at Lucia with questionable eyes wrapped in a hint of disappointment. He really hoped that this trip would be just the two of them. "You told him ?" rayn asked Lucia.

Lusia also laughed a little at the look on Rayn's face as if she was complaining spoiled. "Of course we should take him. Arka will not only be in charge of protecting you as a personal bodyguard, but I think she also needs to refresh the family vacation" Lucia replied then walked to the car.

"Mrs. Lusia is the one who always understands" said Arka while grabbing a suitcase in the hands of Lucia to put in the carl.

While Rayn could only resign, she could not withdraw the words she had said if she would not refuse the request of her beloved wife.

On the way, Rayn and Lucia stopped by the fruit shop to buy some fresh fruit for her beloved mother, grandmother and sister. Not only that, not far away they continued driving, Rayn suddenly asked Arka to stop at a flower shop. Rayn wanted to give memories to Lucia's mother, she bought a beautiful flower plant that her mother-in-law could later care for.

Arka stopped the vehicle in front of an ornamental flower shop. Rayn was immediately busy choosing ornamental plants that were neatly arranged outside and inside the store. "You're saying mom loves plants so much, then what plants should I choose?" asked Rayn while walking around looking at the row of beautiful plants in front of her.

Lucia smiled, she was very happy to see Rayn who looked enthusiastic and excited. Yes, this is what Lusia hoped for and also the reason why he wanted to invite Rayn to travel. The only place that will make Rayn feel comfortable and feel the meaning of family togetherness is to visit Lucia's mother.

Along the way Rayn and Lusia very enjoy the beautiful scenery that is able to make anyone fall leeches and terpososna, which is very beautiful, the road on the side of the rock cliffs and on the right side spread the beautiful sea of beaches under the charm of the sunset in the twilight sky. The beauty of the sun when it was about to set so captivated the eyes of anyone who looked at it.

Rayn again asked Arka to pull over his vehicle, he asked Lucia to take a moment to enjoy the beauty of the sunset that creates a romantic feel along with the refreshing sea breeze. Rayn slowly held onto Lucia's hand. "It's beautiful" he said.

Lucia rested her head on Rayn's boat, both of them piercing the sweet moment together under the red hue of the sun that was seen on the sidelines of the clouds. A beauty that brings comfort, warmth, calm, and a heart of peace. Arka was also happy to see the romance of Rayn and Lucia.

..

..

They finally arrived when it was dark. Lucia and Lucas' mother had already stood up to welcome their arrival at the crossroads. Rayn and Lucia had to park their vehicles on the main road and walk uphill to reach the house of Lucia's mother.

Lucia immediately hugged her mother while Rayn bowed her body saluting her, this is the only thing Rayn can do because she cannot hug her mother-in-law. Lucia's mother, who knew Rayn's condition, was very understanding, she threw a smile and nodded in greeting Rayn's greeting.

Rayn petrified Arka down some of the remaining items in the car including plants that she specifically bought for her mother-in-law. Lucy's mother was very happy and moved to receive a gift from her daughter-in-law, she was very fond of the plants that Rayn brought. Lucas helps Rayn carry some of Rayn's fruit.

"Give Lucas a few feet, it will be very difficult and heavy if you bring everything at once" Lucas said.

Rayn shook her head, she was still busy putting everything in her hands until she seemed to have trouble closing the trunk of the car that Lucas finally helped. Rayn looks really troubled but she still shows the look of her face as if she can do everything herself.

"Ryan give me some, it's too heavy. Or you can leave it in the car, let Arka come back later to pick it up" Lucia said

Rayn shook her head in refusal, as some of the fruit immediately fell downwards. "Well, yeah, yeah...!!" Rayn's screams saw the fruits falling from her hands.

With great difficulty Rayn tried to chase the fruit that was getting farther because of the declining road. Luckily Lucas who was still brought had grabbed some and petrified Rayn scavenging them one by one.

"Las told you earlier, if it's too hard" Lucas said. Rayn just laughed awkwardly holding back the embarrassment.

"Everyone wants to look perfect to be a man and a dream daughter-in-law. Rich, handsome, clever, strong and kind-hearted. But there are times when we also have to be realistic and not force ourselves" said Lucas still while scavenging for fallen fruit.

"What?" sahut Rayn limp and again dropped all the luggage in his hands. He could not believe if he had just received a severe attack from a child the age of Lucas who immediately knocked the price of himself and made him even more embarrassed.

"But take it easy, sister, mothers are among the ancient mothers. I don't care about all the status and criteria. Brother Rayn will immediately pass the selection to be a dream daughter-in-law just enough to give the mother grandchild, spirit" said Lucas then rise.

"Woahh." said Rayn and then fell silent. It's really creepy to hear a kid of Lucas' age patronize him.

"Rayn, are you okay?" lusia asked looking at the silent Rayn. "Lucas did you do something to him?" ask Lucia to Lucas.

"Lucas did nothing or touched Rayn's brother. Lucas just gave Rayn's brother advice and a hint, well a hint" Lucas said and walked away from them.

Lucia looked puzzled, she asked Rayn for clues as to what Lucas meant. Rayn just smiled a little and said if it was nothing.

..

..

The night was getting late, Mother Lucia had prepared dinner for all of them including Arka. They all sat in the living room and chatted with each other. Lucy's mother was also very happy to see Arka coming with them. Lucia's mother had hoped that Mickey would also attend and enliven her small family.

Jokes and laughter colored their night together. While Lucia's mother seems busy tidying up Lucia's room. "Mother, let Lucia tidy it up mom" said Lucia grabbed the blanket from her mother's hand.

"No son, I'm just too happy that you came. Especially if you come with your husband. The house is becoming more crowded and this room is also. I'm really looking forward if you don't just come with your husband, but come with a grandchild, it will be more crowded" said Ms. Lucia again grabbed the blanket that has been handed by Lucy.

"Mother.." said Lucy blushed in embarrassment.

Rayn, who was about to enter the room, stopped her footsteps. He was shocked to hear the words of his mother-in-law's granddaughter. He recalled the clues Lucas had told him.

"sister will immediately pass the selection to be a dream daughter-in-law just enough to give the mother a grandchild."

Rayn's daydreams suddenly fall due to the arrival of Arka. "Young Master's spirit, hopefully can soon give a lot of grandchildren, if possible to form a team" whispered Arka.

"What are you talking about? Team thickness? stop making things up" Rayn's bluff hid itself which was also as blushed with Lucia.

"But that night the young master sounded quite extraordinary. Oops.. but don't do it here or everything in this house will hear it all. Do I need to prepare a hotel room for you? " Arka whispered her joke again.

"Park....!" rayn shouted spontaneously so that it sounded Lucia and her mother-in-law who were in the room.

"Rayn...?" Call Lucia who heard Rayn's voice behind the half-opened door.

Rayn finally made a sound and went into the room to greet Lucia and her mother-in-law. While Arka was still standing at the door, she could not help but laugh at Rayn's unusual attitude.

"What's up with Arka, Rayn? " ask Lucy welcomes Rayn who is walking towards her.

Rayn shook her head, and then grabbed onto the shoulder of Lucia who was sitting on the lips of the mattress. Lucia also wrapped her arms around Rayn's waist standing beside her. Lucy's mother was very happy to see the romance of the two. Happiness was also seen in the look on Rayn's face, and they continued talking.

Arka who saw him was very happy to see his Master step by step began to live life like someone else. Rayn doesn't have to be lonely and alone anymore throughout her life.

Not only Mickey, Arka who has been with Rayn for years also hopes for Rayn's happiness. He hopes Rayn can have a normal life like himself and the people out there. And now, one step away from Lucy will make that hope a real happiness.
