My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)
(S3): Jerome
The door to Valentina's room opened and a woman opened the window curtain. Sunlight began to illuminate the room, then the woman revealed Valentina's blanket. ’’Lazy let's wake up, want to sleep until when?’’
Valentina started opening her eyes .’’Let me sleep in a minute."
"can't. Do you want to be late for school?Come quickly wake up!’’
Valentina woke up with eyes still sleepy. He looked at the woman in front of him. ’’Ibuuu...."
"Boyle! Now go to the bathroom!’’
"Good."
Emily took care of Valentina's need to go to school this morning. Her daughter had come out of the bathroom and Emily helped her get dressed. ’’You are ready to go to school, now we have breakfast first."
At the dinner table, Valentina's favorite food is available.
" Morning!" greet Jerome.
" Morning, Daddy!'
The three of them ate quietly. After eating Emily and Valentina immediately got into the car. They finally arrived at the school ’’Learn good and don't be naughty."
"Good Mom."
Emily kissed her daughter's forehead before Valentina got out of the car. ’’Now go!’’
"Bye."
"Lincoln, go!’’
Emily, who had just arrived at her parents' house, got out of the car with a tired face. ’’Welcome !’’ said waiter.
"Dad."
"How is my grandson's birthday party?’’
"Walked well and Valentina loved the party. He also sends you a greeting, father."
"It's a pity you can't go there because the office work is so much. Has Valentina received my present?’’
"Yes and he likes it."
"Thank God. Looks like you're so tired you'd better get some rest."
"Yes, I'll rest a little bit."
Emily went upstairs. He lay in his bed after changing clothes. He stared at a piece of photo.’’ My husband, what should I do now? Do I have to tell you everything about who Valentina really is? Would you forgive me if I told you the truth?
Emily was afraid that her husband would hate her. He closed his eyes and his tears began to flow.

Erika is in her school's drama club room with some of her students practicing Gina's drama and five blue pots. Ayaka who got the role as Gina has not made Erika feel satisfied.
"Ayaka, the way your dialogue is spoken is not correct. Your voice should be hardened a little more and you're Nolan, your movements were wrong. Try both of you again from the beginning,’’yelling Erika.
"Good,’’they said simultaneously.
Erika then went around watching their exercises one by one. Unbeknownst to Erika, Valentina sneaks into the club room and watches them train.
"Waaahh. It looks like this club is a lot of fun."
Valentina sees Erika talking to one of the male students and she immediately runs towards her.’’Bu guru,’’call him.
" Valentina, what are you doing here?You should have gone home."
"I'm here to see you."
"Me?"
" Yes." Yeah." Valentina nodded her head.
"Alright, what do you need with me?’’
"I've decided to join this club."
"Whataa? You want to join here?’’
"Right, it looks like this club is a lot of fun, so am I welcome?’’
Erika gets closer to Valentina, then ruffles her hair.’’Of course you can, but you must first fill out the registration form. You can fill it at home."
"Horeees. Thank you, teacher."
Erija smiled, then she picked up the form for Valentina.
"This,’’ said Erika while handing over the form.’’You have to take it right and get it back, if you come here again."
Good. Oh yes, teacher, I want to ask you something, but teacher, don't be angry."
"What do you want to ask?’’
"Come closer!’’
Erika brought her face closer so that it became parallel to Valentina, then she spoke near Erika's ear.’’ Do you like Lincoln?’’
Erika was surprised to get a question from Valentina.
"Of tell me, don't be shy."
" I've got a husband and kids, so there's no way I'd like Lincoln."
" So the teacher is married?"
" Yes." Yeah."
" I wanted to match you both."
" You better find another woman for Lincoln."
Valentina nodded.
‘’ Oh yes they are practicing what shows?’’
"We'll stage Gina and the five blue pots."
"Ah I know that story. Before going to bed I always tell that story to me."
"Really?’’
" yes. Even I have memorized the story."
"You'd better go home now, it's late."
"good. Teacher, I'll see you tomorrow."
Valentina ran outside the room and Erika stared at her disappearance until she disappeared behind the door.
Ploc...Ploc...Plok...the disciples gathered near Erika.’’Practice today is enough and you try your own practice at home. Tomorrow we rehearse again as usual before you go home, I want to show you something. This is a video recording of Gina's performance and the five blue pots played by my best friend. The students sat down to watch the video.
"Hopefully this show will be useful to you."
They seriously watched the show for almost 2 hours and did not feel the show ended.’’So what do you think of the show?’’
"The woman was great . The acting is very good and looks like real,’’ said the female student who had glasses.
"But why did he do the show only by himself? But she is great to be able to play it alone,’’ said the two-headed female student.
"She is indeed great and her acting skills are beyond doubt."
"Then he's great. Too bad I've never seen the show live,’’ said the male student whose nose was slightly crooked.
"I also want to once again see her doing her show,’’said Erika.’’We better get home tonight."
The students were getting ready to go home and Erika finally came home after tidying up some stuff at the club with the drama club chairman.
"Be careful on the road!’’
"Master, too."
Erika walks towards her house which is 4 blocks from her school. On the way home, Erika stared at the night sky. He sees his watch and goes quickly, as he and Gilbert are invited to dinner by Fabian and Miya.
🧸🧸🧸
Miya and Fabian welcome Gilbert and his wife Erika. Five years ago Gilbert married Erika and they already have a 4-year-old son. Fabian invites Gilbert, his secretary to dinner at his mansion.
" Welcome, Gil, Erika!" Fabian
" How are you guys?"ask Miya.
" We're all good. And how are you guys doing, too?"
" We're all good too" Fabian replied.
" Come on in!"
" Your children were not taken?"ask Miya.
Before dinner began, they sat in the living room.
" Thank you for coming!"Fabian.
" We should be the ones to thank you for inviting us to eat" Gilbert said.
Jonathan and Clarie go down the stairs. They were happy to see Gilbert and his wife here.
" O Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Erika!"jonathan and Clarie.
" Oh my goodness. You're getting bigger" said Gilbert.
" Uncle Gilbert has rarely been here" Clarie said.
" Sorry. Uncle's busy."
The waiter told me dinner was ready. Then they went to the dining room. After they finished eating, they returned to the living room, while Clarie and Jonathan returned to their respective rooms.
" I still have to do schoolwork. Good night!" said Jonathan.
" I am too. Good night!" clarie.
" Good night!"shout them in unison.
Miya sits next to Erika and Miya's question to Erika leaves Fabian and Gilbert shocked.
" Will your grandmother be able to predict the whereabouts of my lost daughter?"
" I don't know that."
" Dear, why are you asking a shaman for help? I don't think shamans will know where our daughter is."
" There's no harm in trying. I've been thinking about it for a long time."
" Why not try?"Gilbert.
" That's right," said Fabian in disbelief.
" We'll just try, yeah" said Miya.
" all right. It's up to you."
" I'll call Grandma here later" Erika said.
" Thank you" said Miya.
" It's time we went home" Gilbert said. "It's almost late at night. I don't want to be late for the office tomorrow."
" all right. Be careful on the road!"Fabian.
"Good night!"
" Good night!"
Fabian and Miya deliver Gilbert to the front door.
🧸🧸🧸
In the car Erika was thinking about something and it did not go unnoticed by Gilbert.
" What's up?"
" There is nothing I have not told you about my past to you."
" Really?"
" yes. I thought it wasn't important, but I decided to tell you."
"alright. Which past are you again?"
" About the Jerome family. For these 6 years I have not passed on my past stories to you."
" You can tell it after we get home. How's it?"
" All right."
" I'm curious. Can your grandmother help Miya and Fabian find Caliope?"
" I don't know that only Grandma knows."
" I don't think Miya knows what else to do to find her daughter."
"Looks like. Hopefully Grandma can help."
" Oh yeah. I almost forgot to tell you about our new gardener. I've found a replacement and will start work tomorrow. So you won't have to take care of the garden anymore."
" all right. It's up to you."
They finally got home.
🧸🧸🧸
" all right. Now tell me" said Gilbert, who had been lying on his bed.
Erika climbed onto the bed and enveloped herself.
" I used to tell you about my father's death and my departure to Los Angeles with my brother."
" I remember."
" Before we go. My brother did something terrible to the Hunt family."
Gilbert straightened his body. " What's a terrible thing?"
A few years ago
Erika stared at the flame that burned her father. His mother fainted and Fernando, his brother immediately took him home, while his sister just cried. Erika has lost her father. Fernando was very sad to see his family. Hate and anger had fallen on him. He wants revenge on Hunt's family, who have made his family sad and scattered. He will never forget how his father died in his lifetime.
Erika went into her room to be alone and calm her feelings. This afternoon's event was still lingering in his head, then in his heart came anxiety. It is possible that they will hurt his family again, because now they are already hostile. Erika then put a protective talisman on her mother, brother and sister so that they are not exposed to evil magic.Without being known by many people Erika's family is a shaman family. Erika and her family agreed to keep it a secret.
The next day Erika took a walk outside almost everyone looked at her. Unintentionally, he sees Drogo Hunt along with the man who has made him misunderstand Jerome. Erika follows them to a tavern. They both sat down and ordered drinks. Erika sat behind them and listened to their conversation.
"We celebrate our victory. Toast!’’said Drogo.
"You're really great. Not only did you trap Cleo, but you also managed to trap her daughter. Now that woman will be hated by Jerome."
"Ha.ha.ha.ha. It was all thanks to the magic I had. That woman is a fool not knowing that I have made you Jerome and made you his father."
Erika was furious at their words and was eager to hit the two men, but she resisted her urge to do so. He quickly left and went straight to his brother. Fernando was so furious to hear Erika's story
"I can't forgive them."
Braakk!
Fernando hit the table hard.
"They should take the payoff."
"What will sister do to them?’’
"I will curse them forever and the curse will always follow wherever they go,’’ Fernando said in anger.
"What curse, brother? Don't use black magic, if they find out, you'll be put to death like you. I don't want to."
Fernando rubbed Erika's head and looked at her gently.
"You don't have to worry. I'm gonna be okay."
"Promise?"
"No promise."
Erika and her sister hugged each other. Meanwhile Fernando is busy with his thoughts for revenge.
One month later, Jerome did a wedding with Aine Kerr in a festive and lavish manner. Erika was completely shocked and sad to see Jetome marry another woman. For one month also Drogo tried to harm Erika and her family by using magic, but her efforts were in vain, because the magic was not effective.
"There is a powerful magic that protects them. Can they use magic?’’
Drogo comes out of his room to celebrate Jerome's wedding. Meanwhile, Erika was sitting in the kitchen in front of the fireplace that was burning, when Erika's eyes were about to be imprisoned, because sleepy, Drogo came and broke in.
"What's this?’’erika asked confusedly
"Are you using magic?’’
"Why did you suddenly ask that? Oh, I know, because you tried to harm us with your magic, but you didn't manage to do it, because it didn't work on us. Isn't that so?’’
"So you can do it?’’
"Of course I can. Are you going to arrest me and burn me like my father? I'd also say that you practice black magic."
"Who would believe your words? I'm sure no one believes your words. Ha...ha.ha..ha.....’’.
"Now get out of my house. Quick go!’’shouted Erika.
Then Erika locked the door tightly. One week later, Erika fell ill with a smallpox outbreak that is currently ravaging her village. [ ]
