My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)
31. Gathering
Miya finally arrived at Baskerville castle at night four days later and received a warm welcome from her mother's extended family. Adelina immediately hugged him with longing.''As long as Miya comes! We finally meet again.''
"I'm also happy to see you again, Aunt Adelina.''
Miya saw one by one the people in front of her were her grandparents, her aunt's uncle, Fabian's grandfather, Fabian's cousins and Fabian's parents. They have welcomed themselves with great joy. Miya felt disappointed, because Fabian's uncle was not among them when he was so eager to meet her.''You better go to your room and rest. Surely you are tired of traveling far, said grandfather Aldrige.Miya nodded slowly.
"Blinda, please take Miya to her room!''
"Good grandfather Aldrige.''Blinda smiled.''Come follow me! I'll show you your room.''
"Good night then!''miya said to her mother's extended family.
"Good night!''say them simultaneously. Miya then follows Blinda to her room on the second floor. He was amazed by the state of Baskerville castle so large and luxurious. I can't believe her mother used to live here. To Miya this place was like a palace. Various expensive paintings were installed along the corridor to his room and the floor was covered by a red aubusson carpet."We'll be in your room soon. I hope you'll be happy to stay here for a few days.''
"I don't know what to call you? You are the cousin of Fabian's uncle and Adelina's aunt and also my mother's cousin. Means you are my aunt too.''
Blinda laughed."Thas right. I'm your aunt, but we're the same age. It feels weird that you call me aunt. Just call me my name.''
"You're right. It would be very strange if I called you aunty.''Miya smiled, then they both laughed giggling.''Your room is at the end of the corridor there and my room is right next to yours, Blinda said.
Right in front of them the bedroom door opened and Fabian appeared from behind the door. The man was surprised to see Miya being there.''Miyah.''
Fabian couldn't cover up his shock nor did he with Miya."Good night uncle Fabian!''
"You have come, he said in a clumsy voice.
"I.ltya.''
"You better go to bed. You must be tired.''
"I'm going to my room. Good night!''
Miya quickly went to her room followed by Belinda from behind. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief after Fabian was no longer seen.
"We have arrived. Your room's. I'm going to my room. You can call me anytime you need me. Good night!''
"Night!''
For a few minutes Fabian stood inside his room staring at the door of his room without moving. Clearly he looked so surprised to find Miya here at such an unexpected time. His body became limp. In his heart he mentioned the name of the girl many times. Miyah...Miyah..Miyah...He was happy to see Miya again. He wanted to hug her and not let go again. Right now Fabian had to feel satisfied just looking at him from a distance. Just mentioning his name alone made Fabian's heart tremble. It felt like a dream when he saw Miya earlier, but when he remembered the photo his heart felt hot and unwittingly both his hands were clenched very tightly.
Sunlight coming in from the gaps of the curtain woke Miya the next morning. He woke up in a room that was unfamiliar to him and was lying on a bed that had a very high canopy, then he realized that he was in the castle of Baskerville. Miya got off her bed and opened the window curtain. With a feeling of amazement and warmth, he saw such a beautiful sight. The wind immediately entered after Miya opened the window. The window curtains fluttered in the wind. In the distance there are green hills with colorful wildflowers, sparkling lake water hit by the morning sunlight and sheep that are gathering. Far away there is also a winding river flow and the atmosphere is so quiet and calm. I can't wait to go for a walk.
The bedroom door opened and Mary Jane walked in with a friendly smile.''It's time for the girls to take a shower and change their clothes. I'll prepare your bath." Miya nodded, then she looked back outside. Miya closed her eyes enjoying the breeze blowing and the fragrance of the flower scent carried by the wind.
"The water for the bath is ready, '' exclaimed Mary Jane. Miya helped Mary Jane remove her clothes, then into a bathtub full of foam with soap scented roses. The waiter helped Miya rub her back and wash her hair.''After breakfast, I want to take a walk around here. I want you to accompany me.''
"of course. We can ride if Miss Miya wants to.''
"Riding? That's a good idea. It's been a long time since I've rode it would be so much fun.'' Miya smiled, then blew the soap foam in her hand.
Miya arrived at the dining room that looked so crowded. This morning Miya wearing jeans and short-sleeved shirt in sky blue also did not forget to wear boots and long curly hair left only wearing bando ribbon that color is in line with her clothes. Blinda who knew Miya's arrival immediately put on her sweet smile and patted the chair next to her. Miya sat next to Blinda. All the other members of the Baskerville family gave a smile to Miya, and Blinda introduced her older sister Cedric to Miya. "You're a very pretty girl, my lady.'' Cedric kissed Miya's hand, and the girl blushed red.
"How is Sabrina ?''ask a middle-aged man who is about 50 years old. The man still looks handsome despite his age. That man was Andrew Bakerville, Fabian's father. This was the first time Miya had met her uncle's father and next to her sat a beautiful, sassy woman who was none other than Rosalie Baskerville, her uncle's mother.''My mother is fine.''
"Thank God. I haven't seen him in a long time. When Sabrina came to New York I didn't get to see her there.''
"My sister is sick, so mom can't come.''
"Dearly enough. I'd love to meet him. Please give my regards to him.''
"Good.''
"You've grown up too. Last time I saw you, when you were a baby. You're a very beautiful girl for sure now you already have a lover right?''Rosalie.
Miya's face hinted red.''I'm...'' Miya's speech was cut off when she saw Fabian enter the dining room. His appearance was as dazzling and very handsome as ever with his riding clothes. Fabian was so happy to see Miya already there. The look in his eyes turned coldly piercing, when he met a look with Miya. At the moment he does not want to show his feelings openly towards the girl and also in front of his family.
"I don't have a lover.''His head looked back at his food.
"That's a pity.''
Miya just smiled blandly and carefully she saw her uncle who was busy with his food. Fabian looked unconcerned and did not show any emotion. [ ]
