My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S2): Doll Maker

"Fabian, how about we take a boat?’’ask Clarissa.

"Sorry Clarissa. I don't want to go boating. If you want you can take Gilbert."

Fabian saw Gilbert approaching.

"Hey Gil, Clarissa wants a boat ride. Can you accompany her?’’

"of course. Come Clarissa,’’ Gilbert said as she pulled her arm.

Fabian blinked one eye at Gilbert. After Gilbert and Clarissa disappeared from his presence, Fabian wandered around the lake alone and the flowers of wisteria fell. Under the wisteria tree is seen a crying child. His face is between his legs. Fabian.

"You okay?’’

The girl raised her face and looked at Fabian with a face drenched in tears.

"Silver studs school uniform."

"EEhh..’’

"Sister doesn't remember me. Brother gave me the school uniform buttons."

"Ah.apparently you. I'm sorry I didn't know you because you were wearing a hat. Then why are you crying alone here? Where's mommy? And why are you in Japan?"

"I fell and my legs were bleeding. My family and I live in Tokyo. My parents and I are on vacation here."

Ana shows Fabian her bleeding leg.

"The wound is not too severe, but you must be treated immediately so as not to get an infection."

Fabian took out his handkerchief to cover the little boy's wound and looked for an empty seat. He saw an empty bench not far from them.

"Sweet child, you sit here first don't go anywhere. I will buy medicine to treat your wounds.:

"Mmmm..good."

Fabian immediately ran to the nearest dispensary and soon brought some medicine. He sat down next to the little boy and began to clean his wounds.

"MISS."

"It hurts?"

The little girl nodded her head and Fabian smiled gently at him.

"Hold a little bit . It's over soon."

The little girl grimaced in pain while Fabian remained focused on treating her injuries.

"It's done. Now you are okay,’’ Fabian said as he rubbed his head.

"Thank you."

"What are you doing here?’’

"I'm on a walk."

"Then your mother?’’

"Mother was in the hotel sleeping, exhausted on the way here, so I was walking alone here, while my father was visiting his friend. The place I stayed was not far from here."

Fabian saw there was an ice cream shop across the street.

"You want to eat ice cream together with me there?’’

"Wouldn't buy me ice cream?’’

"Of course."

Fabian and the little girl went to buy ice cream and the little girl looked really happy. He thought that this little girl was very adorable and he felt the desire to have a little sister, but it was impossible to be realized.

After finishing eating Fabian ice cream and the girl took a walk back around the lake and they saw a two-story wooden house that was very beautiful and comfortable. The courtyard of the house was surrounded by lavender flowers and they could both smell the fragrant scent of the flower.

In front of the house was a swing and the little girl was sitting on a swing. Fabian pushed the swing. The little girl laughed very hard and Fabian also looked very happy.

💔💔💔

"You look so happy,’’ said a middle-aged man.

Fabian and the little girl were shocked. Fabian stopped his swing.

"sorry. I should have asked permission in advance to use this swing,’’ Fabian said.

"No need to ask permission you can use it. The swing is used by anyone who wants."

"Thank you."

"Your sister is so cute and pretty."

"He's not my brother."

"Eh, isn't it sister? Then?’’

"We're just friends."

"Oh so. I'm the housekeeper."

"A very nice park. Lavender flowers are so many."

"really. The owner of this house really likes lavender flowers."

"The view of the lake from here is also very good."

"Are you one of the tourists here?’’

"Yes. Me and my classmates are on vacation here."

"Aaaahhh....’’ said the little girl and went straight down from the swing.

"What's up?’’ said Fabian astonished.

"I have to get back to the hotel and I'm worried about waiting for me to come home. Brother thank you for helping me and accompanying me on a walk. I'll never forget it."

The little girl immediately ran over without Fabian having a chance to say anything.

"A nimble little girl isn't it?’’

"Yes." Yeah."

" Sorry. I must also leave immediately for sure my friends are looking for me."

" All right."

The sun had already started to set and the atmosphere in the lake already looked quiet and also somewhat dark. After saying goodbye directly to his friends who are still fun playing around the lake.

" Fabian you are from anywhere,’’ said Clarissa.

"I walked around this lake and met a very nice little girl and spent time with her."

"Little girl,’’thanya Gilbert is suspicious.

"Yes. Little girl,’’word Fabian.

Fabian went back into the room and lay down on the bed, then from inside his pants pocket took out a golden pocket watch. He opened it and there was music coming from the clock.

"Great music."

"Just hearing this music my mind is calm."

"The clock is very good. Where did you get?’’

"It's my mom's birthday gift."

"We should sleep. It's late at night" Gilbert said.

The clock shows 00:30. Fabian and Gilbert were shocked by the sound of sirens roaring and the sound of screams on the hill.

" Fabian, what happened?’’

"I don't know."

Before long they both heard the sound of people running along the hotel hallway. Fabian and Gilbert went out of the room. Outside the hotel there were many people gathered and they were pointing towards the hill.

"Fabian, look! The mansion is on fire."

The fire licked the entire mansion and thick black smoke had soared above the sky. The night sky turned bright. The sound of fire constantly rumbling broke the silence of the night sky. The fire engulfed the entire mansion. Even though the mansion was on a hill, they still heard a shrill shrill scream among the rumbling sounds of flames. The screams of the people trapped in the mansion.

Fabian stared at the burning mansion without blinking. Gilbert hugged Fabian's arm hard.

"Fabian, you heard that scream right?’’

"Yes. I heard it."

"I feel sorry for the people trapped in the mansion surrounded by fire. It's like a nightmare. What do you think really happened there?’’

"I don't know."

"Children, you better go to each other's rooms. It's late at night,’’ said Mr. Johnson to his students who were watching the great fire that was going on in the mansion."

Reluctantly the students started to enter the hotel and go to their rooms.

"I didn't expect the mansion to burn tonight."

"I also heard this afternoon from the residents that the mansion was suspected of being a place to practice magic."

"really? Do you trust the resident story?’’

"Of course."

"We should go to sleep because we have to wake up tomorrow morning."

💔💔💔

The next morning everyone was talking about last night. The mansion fire made headlines in Los Angeles. Fabian looked at the mansion which had now turned into the ruins of a blackened building and was no longer irregular. The mansion had lost its beauty and splendor.

Along the way people kept talking about the fire. According to the people who caused the fire was a falling candle.But Fabian's heart said that the fire was not only caused by a falling candle, but there are still other unknown causes. He decided to go to the mansion alone.

The mansion had turned into a very ugly pillar-strength had been destroyed and some of the mansion had no roof. Fabian continued to stare at the mansion. Yesterday the building in front of him was still standing firmly, but now it was destroyed. According to the news of the person who burned in this mansion there are 5 people. Suddenly Fabian creeped and hugged his body. Now this mansion holds many secrets and mysteries that are not revealed. When you see this mansion it is a bit scary. A strong wind blew. Susana around the mansion was so quiet that only the sound of a crow could be heard . Suddenly Fabian's shoulder was held by someone.His body trembled and he slowly turned back.

‘’Aaaaarrrrggghhh...’’

Fabian jumped in shock and took a few steps back.

"Si..si...who are you?’’

"Dw...hi...hi....Don't be afraid of young people. I won't hurt you,’’ said the old granny whose face was a bit creepy.

The old grandmother had a rather long nose and she wore a hooded black robe covering her head.

"What do you want?’’

The old grandmother approached Fabian and he took a few steps back. Grandma smiled at him.

"Deliver your hands!’’

"What do you want with my hand?’’

"Just give me your hand. Take it easy I won't hurt you."

Fabian looked at the granny and slowly he extended his hand. The grandmother immediately held Fabian's hand and she could feel the grandmother's hand cold. The grandmother kept staring at Fabian and her gaze frightened her. The grandmother began to look at Fabian's hand.

"A few years from now you will be reunited with your soul mate, your soulmate, but unfortunately your relationship will be surrounded by many problems, he said, but you two love each other and you can't be separated from each other, because you love that woman so much. You also have to be careful with a woman who will make your life and the life of the woman you love suffer. That woman is so evil. So beware!’’

The grandmother let go of Fabian's hand.

"We will definitely meet again. I'll come to you later. See you soon!"

Fabian was terrified of what else could be heard the sound of crows around the mansion. He took a thousand steps. His encounter with the strange old granny was never expected by him without not feeling he was already near the lake.

Fabian went for a walk by the lake while enjoying the cherry blossoms and sat on one of the empty benches and tried to forget about it, then his eyes looked at the wooden house not far from where Fabian was sitting. His heart moved to go there again.

The atmosphere in the house looked as quiet as when it first came, then Fabian sat on the swing and recalled the little girl he met.

"Is he still here or has he returned to Tokyo? I miss that little girl."

Fabian pulled out his pocket watch and listened to the music coming from it. He looked at the lake and saw a kitten almost drowned in the lake. Without a second thought Fabian immediately threw himself into the lake. The cat could be saved and he held the cat with one hand and tried to pull over, but both of his legs suddenly cramped. Fabian and the cat almost drowned and the cat had already clawed Fabian's hand, out of fear.

Fabian tried his hardest to reach the shore, but he could not move at all once his head sank and returned to the surface and then sank again. He felt his body was already very tired plus the lake water was very cold. Fabian's body shivered and now he no longer felt his body. The cat continued to meow and Fabian finally threw the cat with the remaining power up to the edge of the lake, because the distance was not too far away finally the cat managed to land safely, he said,because he was already feeling very tired finally Fabian drowned. His breath feels so tight.

"Am I going to die here?’’

Fabian began to close his eyes and he was already out of breath.He faintly saw the sunlight from under the lake and his consciousness almost disappeared. Suddenly someone threw himself into the lake and the man stretched out his hand to me.

The sound of the alarm clock shocked him.

Huh.huh..huh....huh.......huh.....

Fabian turned off the alarm clock and his body was covered in sweat.

"It turns out it was just a dream. No, it's not just an ordinary dream it's my memories of the past together with my classmates while on vacation in the spring. It's been a long time and I've almost forgotten it."

Fabian sees Miya, his wife still sleeping. He smiled and his fingers gently stroked Miya's forehead. What the old grandmother said was true. It turned out that the grandmother did not appear in front of him again maybe the grandmother was dead," Fabian thought.

💔💔💔

A car was parked not far from the Castalia mansion. A woman was watching the mansion.

"Fabian, I miss you so much" the woman muttered. " I can't wait to see you again soon."

The woman runs back her car and drives away from the Castalia mansion. The woman's cell phone rang. He pressed the answer button.

" What's up?"

" Cranny is running away."

" Whata? I'll be there soon."

The woman cut off her phone.

" Old man, you trouble me only," he exclaimed furiously. [ ]
