My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S3): Arrival of grandmother

His life was so boring, every day he was faced with flower arranging lessons (Ikebana), tea ceremony, and also dancing. One time he accidentally met a foreign man mixed American –Japan named Edward who accidentally hit Hikaru, after he escaped from his father's escort. The two of them fell in love at first sight and secretly met.

His encounter with Edward has given color to his life. Even Edward saw the figure of Hikaru as Yamato Nadeshiko. Her dream woman all this time. So elegant, beautiful, and also smart. They both love in secret, because Hikaru knows that his father hates strangers so much, because his older sister used to be in love with foreign men and died in the hands of her lover, because of jealousy.

When his father finds out, Hikaru is locked up by his father inside the house and forbids him from seeing Edward again. Many times Hikaru tried to escape, but his efforts were always thwarted by his father, even his father to the point of putting his lover in prison, for kidnapping Hikaru.

His father eventually arranged for Hikaru's matchmaking with one of his father's business acquaintance's sons. Hikaru who knows it is very against him and he misses his days in grief, even Hikaru goes on a hunger strike and also drinks hoping that his father will approve of his relationship with Edward, but Hikaru's wish was never heard. Day after day Hikaru's body weakened and ended up unconscious. Hikaru was taken to the hospital, but unfortunately his life was not helped anymore. Edward, who heard the news, was shocked and killed himself by hanging himself in a holding cell. The story ends.

Miya sobbed after the show ended. Fabian gave him a handkerchief and patted his wife on the back.

" Why is the story so sad?"

" Next time I'll take you on a comedy drama."

The spectators began to disperse and the theater building gradually emptied. " Let's go home!"

Miya nodded.

" I'm glad you're asking you out today."

Fabian smiled broadly and started driving his car. " Next time we date again."

Miya nodded. He looked out the car window. The snow almost covered the entire street, the roofs of houses, and the tops of trees.

Valentina sat by the window looking at the full moon. Tonight he could not close his eyes. He jumped out of his chair and went to his parents' room.  He looked through the enormous room from his room, then he sat down on the bed. Her clear eyes saw a photo on display on the bedside table.

’’Daddy. Mother. It's the night you guys get home?"

The photo was saved back, then his eyes caught something under the TV table among a pile of various films.’’That's a lot of."

Valentina started seeing him one by one and he was interested in one of the videotapes he was holding.’’It's a play that Roberts' teacher will perform."

Valentina quickly turned on the TV. He looks very serious when he sees the drama show Gina and five blue pots.’’Who played Gina? That's great."

He looked back at the place of the tape and there it was written Aine Kerr - Gina’s five blue pots.

"It seems I've heard his name, when and where ya?’’

Rin tries to remember him back.’’Ah, that time. My mom and grandpa talked about it. It was raining heavily and lightning a lot, and then I went to my mother's room and I accidentally heard them talking."

Dad, I'm sorry I did that to Aine, I shouldn't have seen her and I should have stayed home. I have harmed him. My heart was blinded by jealousy.

Emily, you don't have to cry for Aine anymore. It's a long time ago and you're innocent of what happened to them. Now sleep it's night!

Dad indirectly I was the cause of death, if Jerome knew I was involved in Aine's death, he would be angry with me.

Emily you better get some sleep. You're already very tired, so don't burden your mind with that problem anymore

Valentina was glued for a moment in her place.’’Did you do anything bad to them? No. No, you're not a bad person, you're a good person. I believe that."

Suddenly the room door opened.’’ Miss Valentina, what is being done here? I didn't find you in bed, and then I heard voices from the Madam and Master's room. It turns out you're here. It's night, better get some sleep."

"Good."

Valentina gets out of her seat and goes to her room escorted by Mikan.

"Now sleep!’’mikan said while covering Valentina.

‘’Goodnight!’’

As usual before going to bed, Valentina opened her music box to accompany her to sleep. Mikan went back to her room.

The next morning when Mikan was about to pick up a newspaper and some letters, she found a silver banded package. Mikan read the card tucked in the ribbon.

To Valentina Hunt

Mikan flipped through the gift to find out who the sender was.’’Who is it from?’’

Mikan took him in and headed straight for Valentina's room. The gift was placed on a table beside his bed. Valentina was still sound asleep and Mikan could not bear to wake her up, then she cleaned up the toys and clothes that were scattered on the floor of her room. Valentina squirms and opens her eyes.’’Morning!"

"Morning!’’

Valentina sees a gift by her bedside.’’Who is it from?’’tanyanya is still sleepy.

"That I don't know from whom the gift seems to be addressed to you."

Valentina opened it soon.’’Music box."

"Well, the music box is very good,’’comment Mikan.

Valentina opened the music box and heard a good music.For a while Valentina noticed every detail of the music box.’’You really don't know who this is from?’’

"I don't know . I found it in front of the gate. Better change clothes now. I'll prepare breakfast first."

Valentina closed the box and jumped out of bed.

A man wearing a black coat and hat in a cafe was enjoying his morning meal.

’’Surely she has received a birthday present from me. I hope he likes it." The look in his eyes emitted great sadness as well as a great sense of guilt.

Emily woke up in the morning with a fresh body. He could not remember the last time he slept well. Her husband was no longer in her room, and then she saw the clock showing at 8 o'clock.

"Morning!’’valentina and Jerome together.

" Morning!"

Emily sat down at the dinner table and picked up some bread and applied the rest.

"You're going to the office?’’ask Emily.

"Yes, there's still work I haven't finished yet."

" It's a holiday today. You've been overworked. Take a few days off and we can go on vacation."

" I have to finish my job before I take my leave."

"That's great. We haven't had three vacations in a long time. "

They ate quietly until Jetome finished eating.’’I'll go first."

"Be careful on the road!’’

The driver is ready to wait in front of his house.’’Morning Lord Jerome!"

"Morning!’’

The car that took him immediately left his residence.

" Lincoln, before the office take me somewhere."

"Good."

Jerome's view continues to look towards the outside of the car.’’Stop’’he said suddenly. ‘’Wait a minute ! I'm going to the flower shop first."

"Good."

It was not long before Jerome brought a bouquet of flowers. ’’Street !’’his orders. The car kept on speeding up and entered an old and magnificent building. He got out of the car, then went to the back yard of the building. A strong wind blew flying his clothes as well as his hair. Jerome smile.’’Good morning!’’

Ah Lord Jerome, good morning! How are you?’’

"Good lady Hessel."

"Surely you want to visit him instead of ?’’

"really. Excuse me!’’

Madame Hessel stared pityfully at Jerome.’’Poor him it seems like he is so sad every time he finishes visiting the woman's grave, his’’.

Jerome took the vase and put the flowers he brought into the vase, then placed them near the photo and Abu Aine.

"How are you, Aine?I hope you're good today. I brought you a Daisy flower for you. I'm sorry I haven't come to visit you in a few days. I'm sorry I got you cursed by my family.I can't stay here long. I'll come back here again. See you Aine!’’

Jerome wiped away his tears before he finally left. He walked quickly and he got into his car. ’’Street !’’his orders.

Gilbert introduces her new gardener to Erika who was supposed to come yesterday.

" This is Archie Morgan and Archie, this is my wife, Erika."

" I hope you're happy to work here."

" Thank you. I'd better start with my job first."

" Please!"

Archie goes to the garden and Erika notices him.

" What do you think of our new gardener?"

" It looks like he's good and despite his 50s, he still has a passion for work."

" Right."

They were both shocked by the sound of a bell. Gilbert opened the door.

" Granny" cried Erika.

" Did Grandma come alone?"

" Yes." Yeah."

" Why didn't Grandma tell us it was coming today?"ask Gilbert.

" I want to surprise you."

" I'll get you a drink for grandma."

Erika went to the kitchen, then brought a glass of orange juice. Grandma immediately gulped it down.

" I'm sorry I just got to come now."

" It's okay. How's grandma doing?"

" I'm fine. And y'all?"

" We're fine too."

" Where's your son?"

" Logan is sleeping."

" When can we go see Fabian?"

" Now can too."

" What are you waiting for! "

Gilbert prepares the car and Erika goes to Logan's room. He smiled at his sleeping son, then carried him. They also went to the Castalia mansion.

🧸🧸🧸

Arriving at the Castalia mansion, their arrival was greeted by Fabian.

" Gil, Erika, Grandma" cried Fabian. " Please come in!"

They all gathered in the living room. The waiter brought a lot of drinks and cookies.

" It's a surprise you guys came."

" We came here all of a sudden, because Grandma wanted to see you soon."

" Fabian, haven't seen each other in a long time."

" I am too. It seems like Grandma is always healthy."

" Where's Miya?"

" Miya is coming down soon."

Soon, Miya arrives and is happy to see Grandma again.

" You're getting prettier, "thank you.

" Thank you."

" There are enough bases. I'm gonna try to help you figure out the whereabouts of your missing child, but first I need things your baby used to wear like clothes, shoes or whatever."

Miya immediately took the baby clothes Caliope had worn in the hospital, then gave them to Grandma. Meanwhile, Fabian was skeptical that this method would succeed in finding his daughter.

Grandma took the baby clothes from Miya's hand, then held them tightly. Grandma started closing her eyes. In Grandma's vision, there were all sorts of images that alternated rapidly.

Grandma opened her eyes.

" What's going on?"miya asked and everyone was waiting for her answer.

Grandma sighed.

" Caliope's alive, if you want to know."

Miya and Fabian were relieved.

" Where is my daughter now?"ask Fabian.

" I saw a man give your baby to a woman and she took Caliope away."

" then?"fabian said curiously.

"I'm sorry. I can't see where the woman went. There's a black cloud blocking my vision."

Fabian and Miya were disappointed.

"Black cloud?"said Erika.

" yes. It seemed like around Caliope there was black magic surrounding her."

" I don't understand. Granny meant there was black magic installed by someone so," Erika said.

" It's like that."

" In other words the man who kidnapped my daughter is a witch. It's already at the limit. Just stop this nonsense. In this world there is no magic or anything like that" rich Fabian.

" I understand, if you don't believe it," Grandma said. " Magic exists for those who believe in it."

" While Grandma didn't know in my daughter's nana, at least I knew Caliope was alive" said Miya.

" Caliope will be fine. You will definitely meet again."

Miya smiled weakly.

" It's time for me to go home" Grandma said.

" Thank you Grandma wanted to come all the way to see us" said Miya.

" I'm glad I could help you. Bye!"

" Bye bye!"

Gilbert, Erika, and Grandma leave the Castalia mansion. In Grandma's car sat down.

" What's up?"ask Erika.

" There was nothing just that I saw a child in the confinement of fire."

"What?"

" Grandma saw people in a fire pit."

" But Grandma said you couldn't see where Caliope was."

" That's true, but for a moment I could see it.

" Why didn't Grandma tell Fabian and Miya?"

" I don't want to make them anxious, after all what I saw hasn't happened to the boy."

They also fell silent. Even Gilbert who was driving could not say anything. He was also in fact the same as Fabian did not really believe in any kind of magic or prophecy. All of that was only in a fictional world, but after what happened before his eyes he inevitably had to believe it. Gilbert sighed many times. Outside the snow fell again and the road was getting slippery. He soon got home and rested. [ ]
