My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

15. Enmeshed

On a sunny Saturday just after Miya finished her lunch, she read a reply from Isabella.

What the hell are you saying? Fabian can't possibly drive me crazy. He's a nice guy, so you don't make any messes about him.

After reading that Miya sighed. Isabella would not believe what she was going to say. Just as she was about to return back to her friend's message, Isabella came over with her cheerful face. She looks very pretty and wears her best clothes for a date with uncle Fabian. He also brought some of his college notes to be copied by Miya.’’How are you doing?’’

"It's better. Thank you.’’ 

"How do I look?’’

Isabella twirled her body in front of Miya.

"You look so pretty. Hope your date is fun."

"It would be fun. Sebastian is coming for a visit, but I don't know when he'll be here. Alright. I'm gonna go find Fabian now. See you soon!’’he said, sending a kiss away from her.

Miya let out a long breath. Isabella is completely in love with her uncle and she remembers Sebastian. It looks like Sebastian has to completely forget Isabella and has to settle for being her best friend.

       Shortly after the departure of Fabian and Isabella, Sebastian came with a bouquet of flowers and also a can of biscuits. Miya takes Sebastian around the mansion. Sometimes Miya steals the opportunity to steal a glance at Sebastian to see his facial expression, when he tells about his uncle's relationship with Isabella, but what Miya finds is only an illegible expression from him.

            Miya becomes guilty, as she cannot help him regarding Isabella. Sebastian's a very nice guy if only he could fall in love with him would probably be a lot of fun. Now they are in the living room enjoying tea and some pastries in the late afternoon. Sebastian's unexpected words made him choke.

            "Are you in love with your uncle?’’

Miya immediately spouted the tea water she was drinking and made her choke. Sebastian felt guilty for asking that question. "You okay?’’

"I'm fine. Really."

"I'm sorry I asked that question."

"No need to apologize and all you need to know is I'm not in love with him. Why are you asking that? Do I look like a person in love?’’

A faint smile was highlighted on Sebastian's face.’’It's not just that I was thinking how about we try to have a special relationship. Maybe someday we can love each other."

"That would be so much fun, but I can't. Your heart doesn't want it either, does it? I know, you still love Isabella so much."

"You're a good woman. If only I had fallen in love with you it would have been so much fun. But honey, we're not fools." Both are smiling and laughing.

"You know I had the same thought as you about this."

Sebastian keeps his teacup, then sits next to Miya. Suddenly Sebastian embraces Miya." Thank you for being my friend and hearing all my complaints. You are a very good friend. I'm lucky to meet you."

"I am too."

Without them noticing anyone was watching them from a distance. The glint of his eyes filled with anger witnessed their familiarity. Unexpectedly Sebastian was immediately hit and fell to the floor. Both were surprised to see Fabian there. His eyes became dark with anger. Fabian pulled Sebastian's shirt to stand up and hit him again until he fell to the floor.

Miya who saw that became angry and slapped Fabian.’’This uncle is nothing. Why hit Sebastian?’’

"Please tell him to get out of here. I don't want to see his face again,’’ucap Fabian with a high tone of voice and he looks very fierce to make Sebastian scared.

"I'd better just go."

"But Compound...’’.

"I don't want to make trouble with your uncle. I know why he did this to me."

Miya just stared at the confused Sebastian .’’I'll call you back later." After saying that Sebastian immediately left.

Miya immediately ate Fabian with an angry and irritated look.’’Your attitude was very disrespectful. Why is uncle here? Not on a date with Bella."

"We canceled our date. Bella's parents called her, because her uncle and aunt came and they wanted to see her."

 Before leaving, Miya stomped on Fabian's feet hard until his uncle was completely grimacing in pain.

"Miya, you...’’.

Miya smiled satisfied to see her uncle in so much pain, then she immediately fled to her room.

"This is the second time you've stepped on my foot,’’yar Fabian. He dropped down on the chair while stroking his painful legs. "Dam!’’angry talk. "It turns out he's talented at stomping people's feet, too. Just look at you're gonna pay for all this."

♫♫♫♫

The afternoon sun was warm as Miya opened her bedroom window door and a cool breeze carrying the scent of flowers rippled into her room. Encouraged by the temptation to enjoy the view in the backyard of the mansion under the warm afternoon sun, Miya rushed down. Warmth enveloped him when he was outside. The girl was sitting on a park bench under a flowering wisteria tree.

Miya was unaware when someone from behind approached her. He looked displeased, as Fabian had been sitting next to him. Face pouting. His uncle's arrival had disrupted his pleasure. He wanted to be alone here while enjoying the warm afternoon sun, but Fabian's presence made him feel disturbed. Huuuhhh.basan uncle. Can't you just leave me alone? Why don't you take care of Isabella, she must be very happy, if uncle is always with her. Miya snorted annoyedly in heart.

Fabian turned his head and saw Miya pursing her lips with her red blushing cheeks making her anxious to pinch both cheeks. Whenever Miya always looks sweet even when angry or pouting like this. "What are you doing here?’’

"The dreamy daydream."

"If uncle already knows why uncle asks.’’

Fabian began to look anxious as well as irritated by Miya's attitude. Now he really wanted to pinch his nose and kiss his lips to silence his mouth.

Fabian spread out both his hands on the park bench.’’You still mad at me?’’

"Yes. I'm still angry,’’he replied ketus. Miya looked at her uncle with a visibly irritated look on her face.’’ Why is uncle not being polite to my guest?’’

"You mean Sebastian?’’

"Yes Sebastian. That uncle was angry it was unclear to him." Fabian again felt anger in his chest, when he was reminded again about the incident in the living room. Who tries not to be angry when he sees the person he loves in the arms of others.

"Because I don't like her holding you, I get angry."

"Basar uncle weird. Why should uncle not like ? He is my friend . I wasn't angry when I saw my uncle making out with Isabella, hugging her and kissing her. Why should uncle be angry like that? Pity Sebastian he must be very scared if he meets uncle again. Anyway later uncle has to apologize to him,’’ Miya said with a grunt.

 "Alright I'll apologize if it makes you feel happy and satisfied."

"That's great. So what do you think of Isabella? You two have been looking very familiar lately."

"Bella's a beautiful girl and also fun. I like him."

"good. Bella would be happy to hear that." Unbeknownst to him why there was a sad feeling sneaking inside him . A strange feeling that began to creep into his heart about uncle Fabian. Miya was a little surprised to find her uncle was staring at her. His facial expression returned illegible. He doesn't know what he's thinking.

‘‘Then do you still love your former lover named Ryusuke?‘‘his question suddenly made Miya surprised by his unexpected question.

Miya instantly turned her face away.‘‘It's none of your business. Where did uncle know about Ryusuke?‘‘ask her with a trembling voice. Miya looks nervous.

‘‘Your mother told me."

‘‘Mybook? Haduuuhh...why should my mother tell you about Ryusuke? This is really shit."

‘‘So you don't want to tell me?‘‘fabian asked with a gleam of his ignorant eyes even though in his heart he felt jealous of the man named Ryusuke.

‘‘I told you this is none of your business anyway I don't want to remember it anymore."

‘‘It turns out you are indeed someone who easily moves to another heart apparently,‘‘ Fabian said with a face that suddenly turned cold.

‘‘What do you mean?‘‘

‘‘You're now instead of liking Sebastian, so that's why you easily move to another heart."

Miya immediately looked at her uncle with great annoyance.‘‘I like Sebastian not as much as uncle thinks. Her friend. I don't have any feelings for him. Haduuuhhh.Why should I explain everything to uncle." Miya let out a long breath. He has to get out of here otherwise he can fight with his uncle. Plan to enjoy the warm afternoon sun to be a mess .‘‘I'd better just go."

Miya jerks. His hand was held by his uncle. A mischievous smile splashed on his handsome uncle's face.‘‘Don't go yet! I'm not done yet."Miya scrunched her forehead.

‘‘You uncle what?‘‘

Miya looked suspiciously at her uncle.‘‘ Release!‘‘

Fabian's grip was tight and the look in his eyes made Miya tremble, unable to speak or move. He could only look deeply into his uncle's eyes. Without realizing it, his lips were already in***Fabian and his body was already in her arms. Miya felt her body shivering tremendously and her brain was unable to think anymore. Tense, confused and panic that feels strange.

Fabian kissed her greedily. On the lips of the girl all-out. Miya's lips still did not respond, then deliberately Fabian toyed the girl's mouth to tease her.Tenderly her lips coaxed and forced Miya's lips to open. Miya gives up on her hot kiss and lets Fabian's lips open her lips. The opportunity was immediately used by him to taste the sweetness of the girl's lips. Fabian then slipped his hand under Miya's head to support her. The kiss further submerged Miya in a sea of passion and unknowingly her lips continued to seek warmth there.

Fabian ended the kiss. After a note of caution on his head. He wants to make Miya his own right now, but no matter how much he wants to, he knows he can't do it, because Miya is a good woman and he deserves the best.  Fabian loosened his embrace while looking at him with his eyes still gleaming passionately.

"Miya...aku....’’.

Fabian's thumb gently stroked Miya's lip line. Once again he kissed Miya's lips very gently as if afraid to hurt her lips that look fragile in his eyes.

"I can't believe this,’’seru someone. Miya and Fabian immediately turned their heads towards the voice coming from behind them and both were surprised to find a woman standing not far away from them with a shocked and incredulous facial expression.

"Isabella,’’seru Miya and Fabian together. Isabella passed away with tears in her eyes. After giving a sharp look at Fabian, Miya left the man trying to catch up with Isabella while Fabian just stood glued to Miya and Isabella who disappeared from behind the door. The girl felt very sorry to get back entangled with her uncle's charm and made her friend sad.

The sound of my heart music playing to you melodious at an airport cafe accompanied Ryusuke was enjoying his coffee while watching the people who walked past him. He smiled, in a few hours he will be able to meet with Miya and ask her to return to be her lover. Ryusuke knows Miya still loves him given the age of their long relationship when they were lovers. Announcement of the plane bound for New York has been announced, Ryusuke rushes away.
