My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)
(S2): Holidays



Then they went to a golf club where one of his acquaintances, Christian Graham, often spent his free time playing golf.


"Hello Mr Graham how are you?’’


"I'm good. We haven't met for a long time. I've heard lately your health's not good."


"You're right my health is not good. Soon I'll leave all the office work to my son. Oh yeah, meet Fabian. He's my future successor."


"Fabees. Glad to meet you,’’ Fabian said as he extended his hand.


They both shake hands. Andrew just smiled.


"You're a very handsome boy. Your father trusted you so much to be his future successor."


"I will try to do everything I can."


"Surely you will be a very great director. I believe that."


"Thank you."


" Lord Baskerville, your son will seem to be a director that many will respect."


"Certainly because I educated him so that he could continue and grow my company."


" Fabian, how about we play golf together?’’


" All right."


Fabian and Mr. Graham played golf seriously until the sun started to set, then they ended their golf game with the result of Fabian winning the game.


"Your golf game is good. I lost to you. Who taught you?’’


"Nobody taught me. I'm studying on my own."


"You are great" he said, patting Fabian on the back.


Mr. Graham moved away from Fabian and spoke with his assistant. Andrew approached Fabian and walked beside him.


"It seems Mr. Graham likes you. That nice. I want you to build a good relationship with him. Maybe someday you'll need each other."


"Good."


Fabian and Andrew walked up to Mr. Graham.


" I'll excuse you to go home."


"All right, but you can come home after dinner with me. How?’’


"alright. I'll accept your dinner invitation."


They left the golf course and headed to a restaurant that was still in the golf course area. The waiter took them to their seats and they started ordering food.


" Fabian, now what class are you in?’’


"I just graduated."


"really? That's good."


"Fabian graduated with the best grades."


"Great. Surely you are very proud of Fabian, right?’’


"Of course because he's the only boy I've got."


Not long after the food came and they ate it.


"This meal is delicious,’’ said Mr. Glimer suddenly.


"Yes it's delicious. But the food in my house is better, because we have the best cooks" Andrew said


"really? Then sometime I have to taste the cuisine of the chef that is in your house."


"Of course with pleasure. Surely you will be hooked after tasting our chef's cooking."


‘’Hahahaha...’’


"I hear now Kenndrick Industries is expanding their business. They are indeed great and I heard that they are your toughest rivals, Mr. Baskerville."


"That's right. They're my family's toughest rivals."


Finally they finished their dinner and they said goodbye to go home.


💔💔💔


April has arrived. Fabian opened the window of his room. The spring breeze rushed straight into his room. The sky is also very bright.


Tok.dok....


"Log in!’’


"Sorry sir. The car is ready."


"thank you. I'll be down in a minute."


"Good."


The servant went and closed the door. Fabian was still standing on the balcony of his room breathing the morning air in the spring.


"Hopefully the weather today is very sunny, so our holiday will be pleasant" he murmured.


Fabian took his bag over the bed and went downstairs.


"You're going now?’’


"Yes dad."


"Be careful on the road" his mother said.


Fabian has arrived at the airport and sees Gilbert talking to Clarissa.


"Hello Gilbert, Clarissa!’’


Gilbert hugged Fabian.


"How are you two doing?’’


"I'm fine,’’Gilbert said.


"I'm also good,’’ said Clarissa.


"Fabian, my dear friend how are you?’’


"I'm good."


"Why haven't you contacted me this week?’’


"sorry. I'm so busy."


"I thought so."


"Which other. Have they not come yet? Soon it's time to check in."


"It seems not yet, but Mr. Jhonson has come. Now he's going to the toilet."


A few minutes later the other students came simultaneously and Mr. Jhonson had also returned from the toilet.


"Sorry we're late."


"Thank God you guys didn't come so late. Fabian, quickly you absent them one by one,’’ said Mr. Jhonson.


"Good."


Fabian began to pass on his classmates and all his friends had arrived, then they checked in.


Waiting for them to get on the plane. Fabian and Gilbert sat in the fourth seat from the front on the right, while Clarissa sat behind Fabian and Gilbert. During the trip Fabian continued to read the book novel entitled The Dante Club, while Gilbert slept . After a long journey, they finally arrived in Los Angeles.


Half an hour later they arrived at the hotel surrounded by mountains and forests. The view around the hotel is beautiful. The air always blows. After Mr. Jhonson cheked in and shared the room number with his students. Fabian and Gilbert got the same room. Actually Gilbert forced Mr. Jhonson to have him and Fabian sleep in one room, because it seemed like there was no male student who did not want to sleep in the room with him.


"We were lucky to get a room with a very nice view. Even I can smell trees and other plants here" Gilbert said.


Fabian was still busy tidying up his things and ignored Gilbert.


"Fabian, look at that!’’


Fabian was lying on the bed. Gilbert pulled Fabian's arm forcefully, but Fabian brushed him aside and did not want to get up.


Gilbert kept pulling Fabian's arm and eventually Fabian gave up and followed Gilbert to the balcony.


"What do you really want to show me."


"See it!’’


Fabian was puzzled by what Gilbert showed with his index finger pointing upwards.


"I didn't see anything."


"Look at my hand. Look up at that high hill. You see there's a towering white mansion."


"Yes I see. What happened to the mansion? There's nothing weird about that."


"Ah you this. According to what I heard here there is a luxurious white mansion and he said the owner of the mansion is a puppet maker that is similar to humans and is a famous craft here. Do you want to buy one?"


‘’I don't want to buy dolls. I'm not interested."


Fabian turned his body and lay down again on the bed. Gilbert also lay down on his bed.


💔💔💔


Gilbert looked at Fabian who was looking at the ceiling of the room with a blank look.


" Fabian why don't you just take Clarissa's feelings. He loved you that much. She is beautiful and also nice. I think you're a very compatible couple."


" You're right she's beautiful and kind, but I don't love her. My heart doesn't beat when I'm around him. I don't feel the thrill of love with her."


"It seems like you don't have time to think about love right now. Your brain is already filled with work "


"It's not. It's just that I still haven't found my true soulmate."


"Soul mates? Do you believe that?"


"Yes. My soul mate may now be somewhere I don't know where it is. When it is time to meet, I will meet. Although I had to wait for him for years."


"It turns out you believe in the existence of your soulmate.


"You like Clarissa?’’


Gilbert's face immediately hinted red and looked nervous. Fabian smiled mischievously.


"When you look at your attitude and the way you pay attention to it, I think you like it. What did I say wrong?’’


"A.a.a.I don't like it."


"Of Gilbert don't lie. Admit it if you like it. Don't you dare admit it, because she likes me?"


"It's okay if I like it?’’


"Of course it's okay. Why do you have to ask me permission first, you're free to love her."


"I'm sure she'll reject me as soon as I express my feelings for her, because she obviously loves you."


Tok...


"Fabees...Gilbert."


"Mr Jhonson,’’they said together.


Fabian and Gilbert immediately got up and Gilbery opened the door and their teacher went inside.


"It's time to take a walk. Fabian you're the head of the troupe get ready. I'm waiting for you guys downstairs."


"Good,’’they said together again.


Fabian and Gilbert were already in the hotel lobby. Mr. Jhonson and his friends are waiting. Fabian saw Clarissa. He wears knee-length pants and a gray t-shirt in a pair with a long-sleeved cardigan that is as colorful as it is. She looks so beautiful .Masumi watched Gilbert keep watching Clarissa.


"Gil, Clarissa looks so pretty today,’’whispers Fabian in Gilbert's ear.


Gilbert's face immediately flushed.


"I knew. But it looks like he keeps watching you,’’whispers Gilbert.


"I'll give you both a chance. I'm gonna vanish from you for a minute so you can be alone."


"Thank you."


Fabian and Clarissa began guiding their friends through the streets of Los Angeles. Climb a mountain that is not too high and see the natural scenery from there. They rest and have lunch there. Fabian, Clarissa, and Gilbert ate together in one place. Fabian realizes that Clarissa is always stealing glances at him.


"Hei Fabian, Emika you guys heard no?’’


"Sound what?’’said Fabian astonished.


"That voice."


"Voice?’’said Fabian still staring at Gilbert in wonder.


"Yes, what sound do you mean. I didn't hear anything,’’ said Clarissa.


‘’Suara screams someone. Didn't you guys hear it?’’


"Kam don't scare me, Gil’’ said Clarissa as she closed herself to Fabian.


Fabian felt uneasy Clarissa kept docked to his body what more her hands hugged his arms firmly.


I really heard it."


"Maybe it's just the sound of the wind,’’ Fabian said in a cold voice.


"Wind has a voice. Close your eyes and listen carefully."


The three of them closed their eyes and put their ears together and soon a long and loud scream was heard. All his friends who were having lunch were shocked.


"What is it?’’said one of the female students.


They all immediately stood up and looked for the origin of the sound source earlier, then screams sounded again. The screams sounded very painful.


"Fabian look at that. I'm sure the voice came from that white mansion."


From the top of the hill Fabian can clearly see the white mansion . The mansion was surrounded by spruce trees, wisteria trees were blooming and had a very high white gate fence and the courtyard was orderly in order. Fabian could not believe that the screams had come from the mansion. According to him, the mansion is not as scary as people say. Indeed, the place is very far from the houses around here.Paradis students look scared.


"Children calm. You do not fear,’’ said Mr. Jhonson trying to calm his student.


"I've heard the story that there is a creepy mansion here and often heard screams and he said the mansion is haunted,’’ said one of the male students.


"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....’’ said they were together.


Fabian approached them .


"Where are ghosts during the day like this. You guys don't think anything of it."


"If not a ghost what?’’


"Where do I know. Maybe it was just the screams of people in pain."


"My friend who lives here once said at midnight that the sound of screams was very clear and there were several cars heading to the mansion, out of curiosity my friend went to the mansion and saw them dressed strangely. They wear black robes with headgear. Like the one who's going to do the ritual."


"Rituals such as those performed by witches?’’said Gilbert who was very enthusiastic to hear the story of a girl friend in his class.


"Yes. Like that's. I don't know if it's true or not. I just heard it from my friend."


" The mansion is the residence of a famous puppet craftsman here" Gilbert said.


Fabian looked back at the mansion with a look of curiosity. He then took the binoculars in his backpack.


" Fabian, what do you see there?’’


"I saw a black sedan stop right in front of the gate and out of the car came an old grandfather and a beautiful girl and her face looked pale. The girl still seems to be sitting in SMU.


The two of them entered and the girl looked terrified as she was about to enter the mansion. There was an old maid telling them to come in and they were lost behind that door."


‘’Tuest? Who would want to go to such a scary place" Clarissa said


"Where do I know" replied Fabian. " Ah maybe they want to buy a doll or a guest from the doll maker."


"We'd better get out of here,’’ Fabian told his friends.


"You're right we better get out of here and we'll go somewhere more fun."


They quickly cleaned up their stuff. Fabian again guided them to visit other places. Along the way the wisteria blossoms and the petals fall in the wind. What a beautiful view.


Eventually they stopped at the final destination of their journey. They went to a lake. There are a lot of people there. Some are fishing, some are boating or just sitting around the lake. The lake is surrounded by wisteria trees that are blooming and the flowers fall into the lake. [ ]
