My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S3): Valentina

6 Years later

The sound of birds chirping was heard on a clear morning in April. The sun began to appear in the eastern horizon slowly, then illuminated the surrounding landscape. There were quick footsteps in the hallway. A waitress walked into a room and smiled sweetly, keeping food trays on a table not far from the window and opening the window curtains. The sunlight immediately barged in. The waiter who was often called Mikan opened the blanket and there still lay the tiny body of a girl who was still sleeping soundly.

" Miss, let's get up. It's late in the morning to go to school."

The servant shook the child's body gently. The little girl turned her body. Her beautiful and cute face was clearly visible when the sunlight illuminated her face.

"Good morning, Miss Valentina!"

"Let me sleep for a little while. Hoam..sam..shy."

"can't. School will begin soon. Would you like to be upset again by Mom and Dad? It's not that I promised them not to get up and not to be lazy to go to school."

"I don't want to be scolded again by Mom and Dad I'll keep my promise to be a good boy."

"Then wake up now. I've brought you breakfast."

With eyes still sleepy and a reluctant feeling of leaving her comfortable bed, Valentina wakes up and immediately goes to the bathroom. Mikan helped her get dressed and accompanied her to breakfast. Today is her first day of school after the winter break. This year Valentina is in 1st grade.

His personal driver was waiting for him in front of the house.

"Good morning, Miss Valentina!"

The driver smiled and opened the car door. Valentina yawned, her drowsiness has not disappeared.

" Lincoln, make sure he gets ushered in to school and take care of him. It's her first day of school,’’ said Mikan.

"I'll take good care of him."

Lincoln, besides being Valentina's personal driver, is also his bodyguard. He is a martial arts expert whose ability is no doubt, because he has won various matches at the national and international levels to keep Valentina, who has never won, their only child who was nearly kidnapped when he was 3 years old. Lincoln fixed his hat before running his car.

Mikan re-entered the house and the sound of the phone ringing echoed throughout the large room of the house.

"Hunt's family residence. Can I help you?’’Sapa Mikan is friendly.

"Mikan, it's me."

"Ah Miss Emily. How are you?’’

"I'm good. How about Valentina today?’’

"Mrs don't have to worry she's okay. Even though he looked moody and not eager to go to school."

"Then take care of her for me. Right now we are on our way home. Did you prepare what I ordered?’’

"Everything is ready. Surely Miss Valentina will be pleased with the surprise you made."

"Hopefully. We'll be there by late afternoon."

"Good Miss Emily."

🧸🧸🧸

Lincoln occasionally sees Valentina from the rearview mirror and looks moody. " Miss should be happy to go to a new school and make new friends."

"I miss Mom and Dad."

Lincoln sighed. Now he understands why Valentina looks sad. Valentina had been separated from her parents for a week and left for Japan because her father had a job there.

In front of the towering school gate were many queues of incoming cars. Valentina was asleep when the distance between her school and home was not too far away.

Lincoln smiled.’’Miss, we've arrived at school, let's get up!’’

Valentina was still asleep when the car arrived in front of the school. Lincolb stopped his car and opened the passenger door, then woke him up.

" Miss Valentina, wake up!"

Lincoln shook his body gently, then Valentina slowly opened and rubbed her eyes, then yawned while stretching out her hands. His eyes look red and his eyes are still soft.

"Have arrived?’’ask while looking around.

Lincoln helped her get out of the car and put her backpack on. ’’I go first."

Valentina went straight to school.

" Miss, study diligently, don't be naughty!"

Valentina nodded her head, then walked back. In such a large school he was confused looking for his class. Suddenly...

Bruuukkkp.

Many books fell to the floor and Valentina fell. ’’Aduuuuhhh,’’ said as he stroked his buttocks.

The woman who collided with him was surprised .’’You're all right? Is anyone injured?’’tanyanya. Valentina looked at the woman with a smile.

"I'm fine it's just my ass hurts."

"Thank God!’’the woman said and breathed a sigh of relief, then the woman helped her stand up and tidied up her school uniform. Then quickly clean up the scattered books.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault I read while walking."

"Yes." Yeah." Valentina nodded her head.

Not long after that, the bell came in.

"You better get to class soon."

Valentina just kept quiet and made the woman confused."Why shut up?’’

"That's.that's.I don't know where my class is. "

The woman smiled.’’You must be a new student, right?’’

"Yes" said Valentina while nodding her head.

"alright. I'll take you to class. Which class are you in?’’

Class 1 B."

"Are you a teacher here?’’

"Yes. I'm the teacher here. I teach acting at this school."

They were both in front of the class. ’’It's your class."

"Thank you for driving me."

"Hopefully your day is fun. Oh yeah what's your name?’’

" Valentina Hunt."

" Hunt?"

"Is there something wrong with my name?’’

"It's okay."

" Now you better get to class."

Valentina opened the classroom door and before entering she looked back and saw the woman still behind her.

"Mother teacher, may I know what your name is?’’

"of course. My name is Erika Duncan Roberts."

"What a good name. Nice to meet you, Roberts' teacher."

"I am too."

"Hurry in!’’

Valentina walks into her class and Erika returns to the teacher's room. Erika sat pensively in the teacher's room. His mind floated on the child he had just met.

’’Name Valentina Hunt. He's from the Hunt family I know. But the Hunt family in New York is a lot, if the kid comes from the Hunt family I know means oh no. The boy will be cursed by his family" he muttered.

Erika feels sad that the child named Valentina will be cursed by her family. Fernando should not have condemned their innocent family.

Erika also immediately headed for the role art club room. He teaches role art not only to elementary school children, but also Junior High School, and SMU, because the school covers all levels of education. He and his students will hold a drama stage for the festival at his school and in front of him there are now 4 story scripts and still not decided the script of the story taken. Hellen Keller, Young girls, wuthering heights, and Gina and five blue pots.

"Huh." Erika sighs.

Erika had a hard time teaching her students to play all the roles in the script. He had to teach his students a little harder. Three years ago, Erika decided to become a role art teacher. He used to be in acting school and often did some drama shows. This job was offered to Erika by her friend.

Erika is enjoying her new role as a teacher, she is eager to share her knowledge with people, but it is not as easy as Erika imagined to teach role art to school children. He is lucky to have students who are very fond of acting, as evidenced by the years of students who mourn at his club is increasing and he is very grateful for it.

"I must choose one of these four manuscripts."

Erika aligned the four scripts in front of her and her decision was to choose Gina and the five blue pots, as she assumed her students would be easy to stage the drama.

There was the sound of steps leading to the club room. The door opened and the principal appeared from behind.

‘’Bu teacher Roberts."

Erika was shocked by the arrival of the headmaster to her club room. " Good morning, Mr. Brennan."

" Morning!"

" Have you decided what drama the elementary school children will be performing at the school festival."

"We're going to stage Gina and the five blue pots" Erika said confidently.

"Alright, so now we just have to decide who will play in the play."

"really. Now I will choose who deserves to play their respective roles."

" good. Then excuse me first."

Erika again breathed a sigh of relief when the headmaster had left, then she compiled the names until the noon break. The students started to leave the class. Erika heads to the cafeteria for lunch and she sees Valentina having lunch at the corner table of the room.

‘’Halo ! Can I have lunch?’’

"Of course."

For a while Erika noticed Valentina's face and she felt that the girl in front of her was indeed very similar to the person she knew. Valentina is very similar to Fabian especially her blue eye color.

" Valentina, may I know your mother's and your father's name?’’

"Why did Bu teacher ask that?’’

"The teacher just wants to know, if you don't want to tell, the teacher won't tell you to."

"I'll tell him to you."

Erika's eyes sparkle.’’Oh yeah." oh yeah."

Valentina nodded her head.

"My mother's name is Emily Hunt and my father's name is Jerome Hunt.

The deg!

Erika's face stiffened, because what she thought was not wrong.’’So your father's name is Jerome Hunt?"

"True, is there something wrong with my father's name?’’

"Of course there's nothing wrong."

Erika smiled and ruffled the boy's hair. ’’Quick spend your meal!’’

Valentina nodded her head. After the food ran out, Erika returned to the teacher room and there was still a quiet place there were only two teachers who were typing. He sat at his desk.

Poor wait the fate of that child who will be cursed by his family thought Erika.

🧸🧸🧸

A luxurious black sedan was parked smoothly in front of the door of the European-style house and the servants welcomed his arrival. A beautiful and graceful woman got out of the car.

"Welcome Mr and Mrs!’’the servants said simultaneously.

Emily and Jerome walk into the house followed by the servants. A male servant named Mason brought a suitcase bag to their room.

Just put the suitcase in there" Emily said.

The waiter placed the suitcase near the closet in front of the wardrobe.

"Mason, is the preparation done" Jerome said.

"It's all done. We're just waiting for Miss Valentina to arrive."

"good. Now you go. We're gonna take a break."

"Good."

Emily laid her body on the bed. Dizzy again attacked him, then he tried to close his eyes and finally slept as well as Jerome.

The school's ending bell has been rung. All the SD students ran out. Valentina walks casually towards the exit and she waits for the pickup car to pick her up. Several luxury cars passed by her that were about to pick her up and from a distance Erika saw Valentina. He ran over to her.’’No one picked you up yet?’’

"Not yet, maybe soon."

"I will accompany you here until your invitation comes."

"Just as for the teacher."

" Valentina, happy birthday!’’

Valentina surprise.’’How did the teacher know I had a birthday today?"

" I saw it in your history list,’’ Erika said.

Not long after a silver-colored sedan car stopped in front of Valentina and Lincoln out.’’I'm sorry I came late."

"It's okay. Oh yes introduce this Miss Roberts teacher,’’ Valentina said to her driver.

" Lincoln." While sticking out his hand.

Lincoln opens the car door, but Valentina doesn't come in and makes him feel astonished.

"Master teacher, I invited you to eat a cake at my house."

Uh...’’

"Because today is my birthday, I want to invite you to eat cake at my house, how?’’

"Is that okay?’’

"of course. I'm glad that the teacher can come to my house on my birthday."

Actually Erika did not want to come to Valentina's house, because there was Jerome, her former lover, but she also felt curious about the state of Jerome now.

Erika smiling. ’’Hmm. Alright."

"Horeee,’’seru Valentina glee.

Then they get in the car. On the way home, Valentina looked happy. Lincoln also looked pleased to see his young Miss was pleased. He watched both of them from the rearview mirror of his car. Erika and Valentina were engrossed in singing despite their chaotic tone, but they both looked very happy.

The car had entered the gate of the towering house. Erika greatly admires Hunt's lavish home. They were greeted by several servants.

"Welcome, Miss Valentina!’’said Mikan, then the waiter looked towards Erika.’’Who is he?’’

"Mikan, this is Roberts' teacher."

" Welcome!"

"Master, this is Mikan. She's one of the servants in this house."

"It's nice to meet you,’’ Mikan said. They then enter and Mikan takes them to the backyard of the house.

The sound of the trumpet and also the burst of paper leads to Valentina .’’Happy birthday, Miss Valentina!’’the servants said simultaneously. Emily and Jerome then appear.

"Moeuuu...Ayaaaah.’’

Valentina ran and hugged her Mom and Dad. They kissed her cheeks alternately with anxiety and affection.

" Happy birthday!"jerome and Emily said.

" Thank you. Mom and Dad when to come?’’

"So afternoon." Emily squats. ‘’Honey, this is a gift from Mom and Dad."

"Thank you."

Erika had never let go of Jerome's eyes since. He could not believe he could meet her again. His love for the man was no longer destroyed by the fire that burned his mother and sister. Jerome was surprised to see Erika. It was as if he did not believe his vision. [ ]
