My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

3. New life

Miya immediately let go of Fabian's embrace and looked at him in surprise. The man just smiled making the girl slightly stunned there was a foreign feeling that was stirring in his body. Miya admits her uncle, whom she never knew, was the one who helped her.

‘’I haven't properly introduced myself to you. I'm Fabian your uncle. I hope you're happy to live in my mansion, my Miya." Fabian grabs Miya's hand and kisses her. Miya felt Fabian's warm lips in her hands.’’We meet again. Maybe it's our destiny to be reunited. I didn't think you were my distant nephew."

Adelina looked at the two astonishedly. ‘’I'd better take you to your room.You're definitely very tired. Come!’’adelina said, then she glanced sharply at her brother who was only responded to by Fabian's mischievous smile.

The two of them climbed up a very wide curved marble staircase forming a semicircle. Miya was amazed by the interior design. High-quality and very expensive crystal lamps hang from the ceiling of the mansion and are decorated with a wide variety of very expensive furniture. The floor also looks very shiny. Miya feels alive inside a palace complete with a handsome prince inside and of course the handsome prince is Fabian, her uncle.

The servants seemed to be passing by. Some were cleaning windows, some were rubbing tables, cabinets and crystal glasses. Miya did not expect her uncle to be so rich. During this time he grew up in a simple family environment and his home was not like that owned by his uncle, but he was quite overwhelmed with affection from his parents and his life did not feel lonely. Miya doubted whether her new life here would be fun or not. Perhaps he would feel lonely living in this enormous and majestic mansion. ‘’This is your room," said Adelina.

‘’Beautiful room.’’

‘’You like it?’’

‘’Of course,’’his shoulder while nodding his head. Miya sat on the edge of the bed that was quite large and felt her tenderness and the smoothness of the bedsheet. He looked at his luxurious room. The walls of her room are pastel pink and ivory . The interior of the room is shabby chic style which creates a soft impression. There was no color to her eyes. Some of the walls of the room have a large enough glass window . Miya walked towards the double door of France that led to her balcony of her room . The wind blew as Miya opened the door. This was the first time he had occupied such a beautiful room. From the balcony of his room he can see a labyrinth garden and also a rose garden.  ‘’I arranged this room of yours with a little help from a friend of mine who is an interior designer."

‘’So Aunt Adelina has it arranged?’’

‘’True."

‘’This is beautiful. Aunty knows, I've never had a room as beautiful as this one," said Miya cheerfully.

‘’I know for sure you will love it. Now clean yourself up and change your clothes. I'll have the waiter bring you tea and cake." Adelina stops the step when going to open the door, then turns the body.’’Oh yeah you don't have to care about my brother's attitude towards you. He's always been like that."

 ‘’I understand."The door then closed and now Miya was alone in her room. He immediately put himself on the bed. His eyes looked at the high ceiling of his room. His face became sullen when he recalled his uncle's welcome and without his permission his uncle kissed his hand, then he sat down.’’Why should he call me My Miya? What am I his. Huooh...You weird uncle." Miya immediately went to the bathroom with a feeling of annoyance mixed with pleasure.

A large oak door opened and Adelina found Fabian in her study sitting looking at the computer screen.’’You're here."

‘’What's looking for me?’’

‘’What do you mean by your attitude earlier on Miya?’’

‘’What attitude?’’ask without turning his attention to his laptop.

‘’So you suddenly hugged her, then kissed her hand and you called her my Miya." Fabian puffed his head, then smiled then laughed.’’It was just a welcome for him no more than that, shouldn't I welcome his arrival as cordially as possible so that he feels welcome here."

Adelina still looked at him suspiciously.’’Really?’’

‘’True. What were you thinking about, actually? Do you think I want her as one of my lovers or make her my mistress, that's right. That's not gonna do to her."

‘’ I believe . I don't want big brother to seduce her what else seduces her and makes her as one of your lovers, because I know big brother never seriously with a woman always makes them cry’’.

‘’How about this time I'm serious?’’

‘’What does sister mean?’’

‘’Ah is okay .You just calm down. Miya is not my woman type. She was a girl too ordinary for me. Not so pretty nor graceful. Are you satisfied now? If you are satisfied, please leave me alone. I have to finish some of my work that was delayed." Adelina immediately went and closed the door, but before closing the door Adelina asked.’’What did you mean to Miya that we met again and maybe it was our destiny to be reunited?’’

‘’If I told you for sure you wouldn't believe it. A few hours ago, I met Miya in Los Angeles, but I didn't know who she was."

‘’True?’’adelina asked in disbelief. Fabian nodded. ‘’ That's right. Now leave me alone."Adelina left her study. Fabian sighed then leaned his head on the chair. Miyah....Miyah....Saying repeatedly. Fabian still could not believe that the girl he was helping was actually his nephew.

She also has very beautiful aquamarine-colored eyes. The most beautiful eyes he had ever seen that had haunted him for hours. He could not forget his eyes at that time. Fabian swallowed his saliva. He increasingly did not understand himself why he was so fascinated by the girl when he first saw her on the streets of Los Angeles. This was the first time there was a woman who made her heart shake again after all these years. Fabian shook his head. His eyes became dark.’’No. gabe. I can't like it too much. This can't be. I don't want my heart hurt again by a woman’’.

♪♪♪♪

Miya who had changed clothes and had already enjoyed a cup of tea with a delicious cake decided to slightly explore the Castalia mansion. With glistening eyes astonishedly observed every inch of the mansion. There were many long dark alleys that looked lonely and he wondered if there was a ghost here. Miya shuddered in fear. He ran to a brighter place and intended to return to his room.

The huge Castalia mansion made Miya get lost in it. He couldn't find his room, but he was stranded in a music room instead . The music room was so elegant and luxurious. Rosewood tables and chairs look shiny. In the corner of the room there is a beautiful and shiny white piano. On the wall of the room was a painting of a very beautiful woman. Miya frowned and asked inwardly. Did the woman in the painting belong to one of the Baskerville families? Miya also remembered the contents of the book of her mother's family members, but she could not remember it. There was a little regret as to why he wasn't more eager to remember everything. Miya had not known her mother's family. If only he knew a little about his family, he would definitely not feel alien here.

‘’Te..thank you."

‘’ What music do you play?’’

‘’Rachmaninoff concerto no.2."

‘’You played it very well earlier,’’he said as he stared and gently stroked Miya's cheek with the back of her hand.’’You shouldn't be here. You should be in your room to rest,’’he said in a soft voice, making Miya's heart jump down the throat. ‘’I know.So I just want to take a walk for a while. When I went back to my room, I was lost. Don't know where my room is." Fabian leaned more and more and now their lips were only one centimeter apart. Something made Fabian realize.

He straightened his body again and extended his hand to Miya, touching her long curly hair.’’ I didn't know that my cousin's sister Sabrina has a daughter as sweet as you." Miya's heart pounded even more and felt the touch of Uncle Fabian's hand in her hair. ’’ I'll take you to the room. "

Doubtfully Miya received a helping hand. His hands are so big and warm, Miya thought. He felt his uncle's grasp tightening. No one spoke as long as they walked. The sound of the phone ringing left both of them shocked.

Fabian saw Helena's name on her phone screen.’’Hello Helena baby! I'll see you there soon. I didn't forget our date.Your message I read everything. See you there!’’

Fabian immediately closed his phone.

‘’That was uncle's lover huh?’’

‘’Love? You could say that."Miya squinted her forehead. ‘’This is your room. You have to remember where your room is." Fabian opened the door for her. ’’Enter! The waiter will tell you when dinner arrives."

 ‘’Painting who is in the music room?’’ask him before Fabian leaves.

‘’That's my late wife's painting. Clarissa Baskerville." Highlight his eyes dim and become dark.’’ Is there something you want to ask again?"

‘’No."

‘’Samoai see you again, my Miya."Her eyes became soft and Fabian's fingers stroked Miya's cheeks once more, then smiled gently at her. Miya gasps. Fabian then closed the door. The girl sighed in relief. He touched his chest that was pounding so hard since then . There was a strange rumble in him due to his uncle's touch earlier. Miya looked at her hand. It was there that he could still feel the warmth of Uncle Fabian's hand.

Miya again felt lonely in her big room. His family's longing came back. Just a few days ago, he separated from them. He looked sad. Ryusuke's. He missed that guy too. Miya shook her head quickly.’’I can't miss a traitor like him. I hate him."Miya threw herself into bed trying to sleep even for a little while.

Fabian, who had returned to his room, sat on a red velvet sofa. He cursed himself. Was there something wrong with me? I almost kissed him. You're crazy Fabian you shouldn't have any intention of doing that. He's your nephew.It looks like I've started not recognizing myself anymore’’. Fabian ruffled his hair.’’Aaarrrggghhh..’’.

He saw a document on a glass table that he had not read. Slowly he began to read it. It was Miya's biodata given by her cousin Sabrina. The nephew she had not known. ‘’Miya Anabearisa Nakagawa, age 18, place of birth date Tokyo,14 February 1995, blood type O, height 164 cm, favorite color white, favorite food fried duck, ice cream, ice cream, chocolate, food that chickens do not like, animals that cats like, animals that chickens hate’’. Fabian held back his laughter.’’It is fitting that he does not like chicken’’. Then he went back to reading.’’Shrimp-avoid foods can cause shortness of breath and hives, tennis-favored sports, milk-favored drinks, donald duck favorite movies, mickey mouse and doraemon’’. Fabian keeps Miya's biodata on the table, then he smiles amusedly. His smile stopped when an incoming message appeared on his phone. He reads a message from Helena his new date.

Dear Fabian, I've arrived at the Applegreen Club. I waited for you.  Gilbert is here too. Kiss my darling.  

♪♪♪♪

The Applegreen Club is still quiet. It's natural this club will look crowded when night falls. This club has been a subscription to Fabian and his friends since he moved to New York a few years ago, even he already knows the owner well. They were always special guests at the club. In fact, often get a high level of service by providing high-quality drinks and food and of course the most expensive drinks in the club.  Fabian could see the figure of Helena and her friend sitting while enjoying the drink they ordered. They both laughed cheerfully. He approached them and greeted.’’Hi!’’ swipe while kissing Helena's lips. ‘’Finally came also’’ujar Helena.

 ‘’You arrived late,’’ Gilbert said.

‘’Sorry. Today I have a guest, so it's a little busy to welcome him."Fabian sat down beside Helena and his hands were coiled around the woman's slender waist.  ‘’I know who that guest is,’’ Gilbert said as she drank. Helena's gaze turned to Gilbet and her face looked a great curiosity.

 ‘’Today my nephew came. He will be with me from today. Name's Miya. She's an unusual woman,’’ Fabian said with a gentle smile. ‘’Oh yes,’’ucap Helena. Fabian nodded slowly.

Gilbert looked at his best friend. The first time seeing Fabian talking about a woman with a smile straight from his heart was not a smile that was forced when tempting or to seduce women and his eyes glow when talking about the woman named Miya. Is Fabian in love with that girl? he asked in his heart, but his common sense denied all that. That must be impossible.

He could not believe or imagine Fabian would actually fall in love with a woman .He had known Fabian for many years since they were in elementary school. He knew very well the nature and behavior of his friend. How his personal life was especially his love life with many of the women he had lived for the past four years since his wife died and who made no doubt whether Fabian really loved his wife.

Gilbert lamented that Fabian still had not forgiven himself for the death of his wife. Fabian always covered his heart tightly when it came to his late wife. He knew Fabian's heart had not been healed properly there was still a gaping hole in his heart even though the event had happened a long time ago.Had to be his wife to blame for the suffering of Fabian his friend. Gilbert gulped down his drink while looking at his best friend from the top of his nose who was talking to Helena, his date.

 He hoped that one day Fabian would find the right woman to be his wife. Fabian's heart had been frozen for too long, not a single woman had managed to melt his frozen heart. He also knew that Fabian had been living in solitude and loneliness. The only thing that filled his days all this time was work. Since his father resigned due to illness, all responsibilities were handed to him. He led a big company on his shoulders, but he can do well. It didn't take long his family's company led by him was progressing by leaps and bounds even more advanced year after year. Fabian is very enterprising and his business instinct is very sharp and good.  Fabian knew how he had to use his money for the betterment of his company.

It is not wrong if he finally got the designation as a successful young entrepreneur. His face is now often seen in various business magazines.  Fabian and Helena suddenly stood up and said a farewell to them. ‘’Helena invited me to come to her apartment," replied Fabian flatly. Gilbert smiled understandingly and nodded.’’Have fun!’’said Gilbert . Fabian left while putting his hand on Helena's slender waist [].
