My Beloved Arana's

Chapter 121: Tears And A Call

Far away from the other side, Yoko is in a dispute with Joshua who questions the reason why Aki was able to run away from home when she was not home for some time because of work.

"How can Aki escape, Yoko? What made him run away from home? Did something happen while I wasn't around?" Ask Joshua.

Yoko's forehead shriveled for a second after Joshua finished his question. The man looked sharply at Joshua, "Do you accuse me of doing something to Aki? Didn't you also know that I just told him to study like he used to and cut down on playing games? Am I wrong to tell him to study? I did the same for Naoki!"

Joshua could hardly react seeing how sensitive his wife was. "What's wrong with you, Yoko? I asked nicely, is it possible that Aki had a disturbance during her time at school, why are you so angry?"

Yoko bowed, and cried. "I don't understand, she never wanted to tell me even though I was her mother! Hiks, hiks! I barely understand my own son."

Joshua did not mean to say anything with the intention of offending or accusing his wife, but Joshua did not know that his wife's response would be such an exaggeration. Joshua felt strange in his heart, but he could not bear to see his wife crying and blaming himself for not recognizing their son that way. He approached Yoko and hugged her tightly while apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to blame you. I didn't mean to accuse you, I asked because I was really curious and confused about the reason why Aki ran away from home. The kid won't even pick up my phone and even ignore my messages." He said while stroking Yoko's back to calm down.

"Don't cry anymore."

"But Aki, hiks ..."

"I will ask Alva and Alana to calm Aki down and find out what made her run away. Don't cry anymore."

...***...

"While it's really quiet, huh?"

Arana said to Alva who was resting on the balcony while enjoying her cup of coffee. Aki was in the main room, watching television while enjoying a cookie. Arana looked at him from the glass of the balcony, and said in a voice that was not too loud. "Did he be like that since he was a kid, Al?"

Alva nodded her head. "Mn, Brother Joshua said he had been rather quiet even since he was a child. I think it's a descendant of Yoko's aunt who is quite quiet."

"Aki said that she really did not want to receive a call or message from aunt," Arana mused slightly, "Is it possible that she experienced violence? I don't mean physical violence."

Alva shook his head, not a sign of rejection but ignorance. "Uncle personally is a strict person, but he never plays a hand and I know that. While aunt comes from a family with customs that are still thick and she is a virtuous woman. I don't understand why, or maybe what happened between them was just a misunderstanding."

"It can be." Arana Mumbles.

"We're going to let him stay here without asking until he himself explains why he ran away. Maybe he does have his reasons, and if he is indeed depressed or something, let Aki calm herself down first for some time. I've also explained to uncle and uncle saying that he's okay with that." The word Alva made Arana nod understandingly and agree.

That's right what Alva said. If Aki was already feeling better and comfortable, she would explain what happened by herself, so there was no need to rush.

"I'll chat with him briefly~"

Aki did not react for quite some time before faintly nodding her head. "The novel is good."

"I'm glad you like it. Do you want to take a walk with me tomorrow? I will take you around here to find a lot of good snacks." Arana made Aki reflect for some time before calmly nodding her head and muttering, "OK."

Hearing Aki's short answer made Arana involuntarily smile. Among his friends there was no one as cold as Aki, and he spoke. That made Arana a little more difficult to interact with Aki since she could not find the topic of conversation. But remembering something, Arana's bead widened slightly and she cheerfully blocked Aki's backup from the television in front of her.

"I have a lot of novels in the reading room. Want to come and read together? I can recommend a few books to you and maybe you haven't read them!" Arana said cheerfully.

Aki's expression was covered by her bangs when she slightly lowered her head. Arama couldn't guess what he was thinking but he could feel that the atmosphere between them was becoming a little not good. Arana gently lowered her head trying to peek at Aki's expression as the teenager raised her face and looked at Arana with a pair of bright beads. "I just want to watch TV, brother. Maybe next time."

Seeing that Aki is so calm justu makes Arana feel that Aki is really experiencing something. I don't know what it is, Arana certainly feels that Aki is increasingly able to hide her emotions that make Arana feel worried about her. But Arana can't say anything and desperately tries to let Aki do what she wants. Arana calmly sat back next to him and occasionally

Arana sighed in her heart and calmly got up to her feet and left to make room for Aki.

It seemed like Aki did need some time to calm her heart first.

...***...

His civil looked at his cell phone with a confused look when a foreign number contacted him. He hesitantly thought for a few seconds before raising the call.

"Hello? Who'sis this?"

There's a friendly voice across. The familiar voice that made his Civa frown before being shocked. [Hey, Civa. Hearing your voice, it seems like you're okay, huh?]

"Ernad?" The civil asked doubtfully when there was laughter from across there.

[Really. It's me, Ernad. I actually wanted to greet you at the reunion, but you didn't come. Ah, Alana's not coming either, is she?]

His people were nervous for no reason and hesitantly replied. "Me and Alana couldn't come because they were a little busy. I have a lot of duties and Alana can't attend because there's urgent business she has to do."

[Hm.. Can we meet? I have some things I need to ask you. I'll be waiting for you. I'll send you the address. Bye bye!]

Then, the phone call was turned off unilaterally. His civil was staring at a cell phone with a stare that was hard to describe. The young man was always like that, of his own accord. His civun took a quiet breath. Well, if he asks me something unimportant, his people will never consider him a friend because it bothers him.

After all, they were never friends.
