My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)
46. Joshua Plan
Tokyo
A month had passed since he left the Castalia mansion .On a sunny Saturday, Miya sits on a bench under the flowers of Sakura blooming in her yard while reading a novel. Sometimes he puffs his head up into the sky just to see the clear sky. The girl's tiny lips curved upwards. Smilingly.
"Sorry Miss You were called by your father, said one of his house servants. Miya raised one of her eyebrows.
"All right.'' Miya immediately walked towards her house following her servant. The girl looked astonished when she saw a black sedan car lying in her front yard.''Who's coming huh?''muttered. Miya immediately went inside the house not wanting to linger thinking about who came to visit her house. Miya continues to follow her servant who will take her to her father. The waiter opened the door for her when she reached the open living room facing the garden.''Miss Miya has arrived.''
"Send in!''
Miya appears from behind her servant and she is surprised to see three people she knows are there. The girl was amazed by the sight that was in front of her. There Adelina, Blinda and Cedric were enjoying a warm green tea.''What are you guys doing here?''His surprise was still clearly visible on his face. He looked at his father and at the three of them.
"Come in!''Miya immediately sat down beside Adelina.
"When did you guys come?''
"30 minutes ago,''tukas Cedric.
"Why did you come here without telling me?''
"We've come to surprise you." Adelina smiled mysteriously.
"Are you three the only ones coming?''
"Only the three of us, Blinda said, blinking her eyes.
"I didn't expect you guys would actually come here.''
"We've missed you. For a month you never contacted us. We thought something bad was going on with you, so we came to see you all on vacation and also picked you back up to New York. You've been out of college for 1 month. ''Blinda smiled as mysteriously as Adelina.
"I didn't skip just taking college leave. I can't stay in the Castalia mansion anymore. I'm planning on finding an apartment there."
"You'll live in my apartment."
"really? Thank you." Thank you."
"Because we're here. You have to take us for a walk, Cedric said with a mischievous smile.
"certain. Do you want to go for a walk now. It's already afternoon. It's better tomorrow.''
"Good idea, '' answered Cedric and the others agreed.
"It seems that the four of you will spend a very pleasant time here, said his father who had been listening to their conversation since then.

Miya helps Adelina and Blinda clean up her luggage. They both sleep in one room. Blinda who has finished cleaning her luggage goes into the bathroom to change clothes. There are Miya and Adelina who are still helping to clean up her things, because the number of items her aunt carries is more than Blinda.
"Is he happy?''asked Miya suddenly.
"Who?''
"Fabees.''
"Oh. Yes he is happy. You don't have to worry.''
"Goodoo. I'm glad to hear it.''
"Did you miss him?''
"Eh.ti.ti.no, '' Miya answered lying when her heart really misses the man, really miss his presence here.
Adelina gave an understanding smile.''If you miss him, you don't have to hide it. Without saying it I already know you miss Fabian.'' Miya's face blushed red in embarrassment. "Do you still love her?''
"Yes, '' he replied in a soft voice.
"If my brother had heard it, he would have been happy. You know he never stops loving you.'' The girl's face grew hotter. He was happy that man still loved him. Miya smiled inwardly, but it was a pity that she was now no longer possible with him. His face was back in horror .
Adelina grabbed Miya's hand, then said softly, Everything will be fine. Someday you will be able to meet again.''
"If you meet him again it will definitely be difficult to let him go again. Better like this. I'm glad that she's happy too.'' Adelina hugged Miya while rubbing her back trying to calm Miya who had started crying.
🎵🎵🎵🎵
In the early morning hours Miya along with Adelina, Blinda and Cedric were in the middle of the shopping center. They go from one boutique to another, from one mall to another. They were shopping so much that Miya was overwhelmed to help them bring groceries. In fact, they also buy a variety of items that are quite expensive for him ranging from shoes, clothes, bags to jewelry. Miya had rejected him, but the three of them continued to force her to accept him.
Miya paused briefly in front of a wedding dress boutique. She stood glued in front of a boutique storefront displaying a wide variety of wedding dresses. Miya was fascinated by the beauty of those dresses. The girl smiled wryly could one day she would be able to wear one of those dresses. Although she can wear it who will be her groom.
"Do you like those dresses?''adelina asked, surprising Miya from her daydream.
"Maybe soon you will wear it.'' Miya immediately turned her head back to look at her aunt with a confused face.''Let's just go. Blinda and Cedric were already at the cafe for lunch.'' Adelina pointed to a cafe located not far from the boutique. Miya nodded back following her aunt to the cafe where Blinda and Cedric were waiting for her.
After they finished walking, fatigue was clearly visible on their faces. Miya then realized the atmosphere of the house looks crowded and busy. The servants looked back and forth, then he stopped a female servant who was carrying a pile of clean blankets.''What the hell is going on here?''
"We have guests?''
"Guys?''
"Yes lady.''
"Who else is coming?''
"Important guest sir.''Miya scrunched her forehead. What happened to his house from yesterday his house the arrival of many guests was not as usual. Miya allowed her servant to leave and she went to her room to want to clean up immediately, because she felt sticky.
Miya who had finished cleaning herself took a short walk in her garden looking at the flowers she had planted a few days ago. The afternoon sun was shining warmly. He was happy to see the flowers he planted growing abundantly."I finally found you.''The voice he was so familiar with sounded. Miya quickly turned her body around."You...''
"Hello Miya!''
"Uncle Joshua. What are you doing here?''Joshua smiled amusedly at the girl's shock with her arrival.
"Of course to see you.''
"When have you been here? And what's it for to see me?''
"Since this afternoon. Don't you want to meet me?''
"It's not. It's just that I'm surprised you came to my house.''
Both corners of Joshua's lips curved upwards forming a wide smile.'' I have come all the way here to see you and I do not want my trip here in vain, he said without further ado.
"What do you want from me?''asked Miya curiously which was imprinted clearly on her face.
"I want you to marry me.''
Miya widened her eyes in surprise."I told you many times I can't marry you.''
"You still love Fabian? Better forget him. Fabian doesn't deserve your love. He's too cowardly to fight for you. She would rather marry Jeanette. Although I love him like my own brother but I was so angry when I knew he had given up on getting you.''
"Don't blame him. I told him to marry Jeanette.''
"He should have refused your request if he really loved you.''
"Fabian loves me.''
"If Fabian loves you, why didn't he ban me when I told him I was going to marry you?''
For a while Miya was silent not knowing what to say.
"That's because Fabian knew that he wouldn't be possible with me, because he was married to Jeanette.''
"You deserve to be happy, too, Miya. So marry me. Hows it? I know you don't love me. That doesn't matter. You still need time to forget. There is no harm in marrying me. I will try to make you happy. Don't you want to try to love me? Maybe someday you'll love me.''
Miya stared fixedly at Joshua, looking into his eyes that radiated her seriousness to marry him. For a moment he hesitated. Joshua is a good guy even though he is always cold. What he said has a point. He and Fabian are no longer together. Maybe one day he will love Joshua even though it will be very difficult for him to do, because he knows his love for Fabian is hard to forget. Miya swallowed her saliva, then closed her eyes ."Alright. I will marry you, he replied with a heavy heart.
Joshua smiled happily.''Thank you.''The man immediately hugged Miya and once again a smile bloomed on his face.

Meanwhile Fabian who had just finished his morning breakfast went to the backyard of his mansion. He sat on one of the long iron benches watching Raina play with her nanny. Fabian smiled hearing Raina's laughter just hearing it made Fabian's heart feel warm and peaceful. A cool spring breeze hit his body. His eyes suddenly muddied remembering Miya. He missed. I miss that girl very much. The voice of the phone surprised him and the voice of a man came from across the phone
"Morning Fabian! I think it's still early there now.''
"Joshua.''
"Well, it's me.''
"Where are you now?''
"I was in Japan meeting Miya.''Fabian immediately stood up and his body stiffened.
"Have you met him?''
"Yes I've met Miya and do you know I've spoken to her and she has accepted my proposal.''Fabian could not cover up his surprise and Miya accepted Joshua's proposal and her heart was now overwhelmed by jealousy.
"Just you should come. If you don't come it means you don't love Miya anymore, Joshua continued. The phone connection was also cut off. Fabian still did not believe Joshua's words. Miya is getting married to Joshua the fact that sounds so funny. She could not imagine the girl would be Joshua's wife. Fabian walked back and forth trying to calm his agitated heart. This can't happen. The girl cannot marry Joshua. Miya doesn't belong to that man. [ ]
