My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S3): First meeting

Meanwhile Valentina along with her friend Clara went to the drama club at break time. At that time the drama club was crowded with many members of the club who were training for later performances. Valentina saw Erika who was busy training her students. He ran towards her with a smile.’’Ma'am teacher,’’sapanya while patting her back.

"Valentina you came here too."

"Do I bother?’’

"Actually yes, but it doesn't matter."

"This,’’ Valentina said as she handed Erika a piece of paper.

"So you are allowed to enter this club?’’

"really. My mother agreed to it."

"Then welcome to join." Erika ruffled her hair.

"Oh yes, this is my friend Clara."

"Hello Miss Roberts! I've heard a lot from Valentina about you."

"Oh yeah."

Then Erika glanced towards Valentina.‘’What did Valentina say about me?’’

"Valentina said that , well, and also likes acting."

Erika smile.’’So that's what Valentina said, didn't she say anything else?’’

"none. That's all it is."

Erika still looked at him with alternating gazes towards Valentina.’’Do you still want to be here?’’

Valentina and Clara nodded their heads.

"You two sit there,’’ said Erika.

His hands pointed towards the chair that was lined up beside the window. The two of them sat there watching their rehearsal until the afternoon break was over.Before going to class approached Erika.

"Master,’’call Valentina while tugging at Erika's clothes.

’’What's up?"

"Guild the head of the teacher. I want to whisper something."

After his head aligned with Valentina, he started whispering something.

"Master, can I join the drama later?’’

"Not yet. First I have to train you."

"When will you train me to act?’’valentina asked with sparkling eyes.

"Tomorrow.How?’’

"Hmmm. All right,’’reply Valentina with a happy face.

Erika again trained her students to act and Valentina with her friend noticed them all training.Not long after that the bell ended the afternoon break had been rung.

"Our teachers both had to go back to class. See you!’’

"See you tomorrow!"

Fabian with a sad face arrived at his office there was a lot of work waiting to be completed. He is eager to finish all his work so that he immediately takes a leave of absence for a vacation with his family. After he checked some documents, his feelings began to saturate, he slammed the document he was holding onto the table, then rubbed his face with both hands. His gaze returned to his eyes and in his mind again flashed about the incident.

‘’What's up? You seem to be very surprised by my arrival. I've knocked on the door many times" Gilbert said, handing over a few more documents for Fabian to sign.

" I was surprised."

"sorry. I've been watching like someone's been interfering with your mind."

" It's about last night."

" I understand."

Fabian looked at Gilbert. " Do you believe everything Grandma said last night, my daughter's clothes are still alive just by clutching her clothes?"

" How do you think?"

" Why did you ask back. I want your opinion."

" I'm between believing no, but after a second thought the world is full of mystery as well as the people who live in it. Without us knowing there are some people who have special talents."

Fabian let out a long breath. " I was desperate to find my daughter. Miya also returned disappointed and sad after Grandma did not know where she was, because Grandma was the only hope to be able to find traces of Caliope. From the beginning I didn't expect too much."

" How is Miya doing now?"

" It's better now, though he always covers up his grief."

" Don't stop hoping! I believe Caliope is alive."

Gilbert left the room while carrying the signed documents.

Wylon Kerr sat with a sad face . The dried leaves that fall off begin to fly, because they are blown by strong winds.’’Mr. Kerr, we'd better get in. The air is getting colder."

"We'll just go home."

The culprit pushed his wheelchair.’’Who do you think has visited Aine. There is a Daisy flower that has not withered too much,’’tanya Wylon suddenly.’’Do you think it was Jerome?’’

"That can't be Mr. Jerome,’’ answered his servant.

"Yes, you're right. Where could Jerome have come to visit him. He has...’’.

Wylon's eyes again looked sad and unable to straighten his words anymore. His servant was silent, he knew what his master was feeling. The loss of those closest to her must have hurt her very much and made her very sad.

"Master Wylon Kerr,"call a woman.’’

"really. If it's not wrong you're Mrs Hessel."

"really. It's nice to see you here again. It's been a long time since I've seen you come here. I guess you'll never come here again. When did you come from Haiti?"

" Yesterday afternoon. Today I want to visit Aine."

"I understand."

"Oh yeah has there been a guy visiting her lately?’’

"There's."

" Who?’’

" Mister Jerome Hunt."

"Jerome?’’asked Wylon surprised. The woman nodded her head.

" What's wrong? You seem surprised."

" All I know is Jerome Hunt, Aine's husband is dead, by accident."

" But Mr. Jerome is fine."

" Do you know where he lives?"

" Sadly, I don't know."

" Rephone number?"

" I have his business card. I'll get it first."

Lady Hessel opened the desk drawer and gave Wylon a business card.

"thank you. Mrs Hessel, I'm sorry."

Emily goes inside her house.’’I'm home!’’

The atmosphere of the house looks as quiet as usual. Valentina is still in school, while her husband is still in his office . Emily went straight to her room to rest for a while.

Soon Valentina comes home and sees Emily in the park.

"Mibuuuu,’’show.

" You're home!"

" Yes." Yeah."

"Now go to the room and change clothes. Is there a school assignment today?"

" There is."

" Well do it."

" yes.

Valentina immediately went to her room. A few minutes later Emily brought a snack for Valentina who was working on her schoolwork.

" How was your school today?’’

" Do you have many friends."

" Yes." Yeah."

" Good."

" See, finish your schoolwork soon."

Valentina nodded and Emily walked out of the room.

🧸🧸🧸

It was late in the afternoon, Mikan brought some cakes to Valentina in her room.

‘’Eat this cake. I have to get back to work."

"Good."

Valentina ate the cake, then sat on the edge of the bed. His left hand picked up the music box from an unknown person. Reopening the music box.

Valentina looked back at every detail of the music box and she saw a connection at the bottom. He tried to open it in a swivel and finally the bottom of the music box was open, then from inside came out a piece of paper and fell to the floor.

Valentina picked it up which turned out to be a photo. A picture of a woman and a man standing in the snow.

"Who are they? Is this man her husband?"

Valentina turned her picture over and there was writing on it. Slowly Valentina started reading it.

Miya and Fabian Baskerville

Valentina looked at the photo again. Before he finally returned to keep the photo in its original place.

🧸🧸🧸

Miya looked so surprised to see Fabian standing in front of her. Miya looked at him longingly after the day the man went to work. So did Fabian. The two fell silent unable to say whatever they were doing was just looking at each other. Fabian walked up to Miya, then hugged her.

" It's not usually that you go home fast."

Miya looked at the clock that was showing at 4pm.

" I finished my work faster, because I wanted to be home soon."

" Are you worried about me, because since last night I've always looked moody?"

" One of them is."

" Now I'm okay."

Miya always looked nervous whenever she got a sharp look at Fabian where it seemed to pierce her heart and soul. They both went back to silence. For a moment they looked at each other. The two did not speak, but the language of their gazes had spoken.

"Today you look beautiful,’’praise Fabian.

Miya's face immediately hinted red and felt her face warm up. Fabian put one hand on Miya's face. The touch of Fabian's hand on his face again made Miya's heart rustle and warmth enveloped her. Fabian smiled.

" I want you to promise me one thing."

" What?"

" Never get away from me!"

Fabian hugged him back.

Emily was in her room reminiscing about her past when she first met Jerome. At that time she had just been heartbroken, because her future husband loved another woman.

A few years ago

The autumn wind had already made his body goosebumps cold. Emily sits on a park bench that leads to a large pool.’’I have to find a way to separate the two of them,’’he said inwardly. He wiped his tears many times.

"You okay miss?’’ask a handsome man from behind.

Emily immediately turned her head and her gaze was blurred by a puddle of tears, once again she wiped her tears and clearly saw a man standing in front of her.’’Can I sit here?’’

"Of course."

"It seems like you are sad, there must be a big problem that makes you sad like this."

The man's voice sounded so soft and soothing to Emily as if it contained a magic. I don't know why Emily became so much calmer being next to a stranger. He also told the man his problem.

"So this is all because of love. Your love life is very complicated. It's best to let go of your parting ways with your fiance."

"I don't want to part with him because I love him. She's my first love."

"But he doesn't love you."

"It's all because of the girl,’’he said with an angry look.’’If she didn't exist, my fiance would love me."

"It seems you hate that girl so much."

"I really hate him. He's ruined my happiness and dreams of living with the man I love."

Emily was crying. The man gave Emily his handkerchief. ’’Take!’’

At first Emily seemed hesitant to take the man's handkerchief, but she finally took it.’’Thank you." Thank you."

"My advice is to forget that man.It's not good to live in grief and resentment."

The man looks sad.’’You don't be like me living in grief and vengeance. She shouldn't be living in grief."

The man smiled gently and Emily was stunned.’’Thank you for listening to my problem. I also don't understand why I can tell you all this."

"Maybe it's because you trust me."

The man smiled again and made Emily feel a strange sigh in his chest, then he returned his smile.

’’It turns out you're prettier when you're smiling."

Emily's face was red. He admitted after talking to the stranger beside him that he felt better.

"Are you okay? Your face looks pale?’’ask Emily.

"I'm fine."

Haaaacciiichhhh.

‘’Sorry,"told Emily while rubbing her nose.

The man just smiled.

’’I'd better go home, it's getting late and the air outside is getting colder. It's nice to meet you here. See you!’’

Emily left without looking back.

🧸🧸🧸

The night changed, the dawn crept into the room like a ghost slowly and hesitantly, but it gets stronger as darkness fades from black to gray before shining into the room to reveal the flying dust particles and the sleeping figure of Emily.

Sunlight touches her pale cheeks, Emily wakes up and falls asleep again.Sleep looks restless and more moving until finally awakened fully to the real world. She faintly saw a servant approaching her.’’Good morning Madam!’’

"Morning!’’

" Where is my husband?"

" Mister Jerome has gone to the office early in the morning he said there was an important meeting."

Emily got out of bed. Not long after that he returned with a fresh face, then ate his morning meal with Valentina. After Valentina goes to school, she turns on the TV in her room, then lies back in bed reminiscing about her past again with Jerome. The man who had taken his heart

A few years ago

"Sorry Miss Emily,’’ said a maid while carrying a bouquet of white roses.’’There's a flower delivery for you."

"I?’’

"really. It's the flower."

The waiter immediately gave the flower to Emily.’’Excuse me!’’

Emily watched the flower attentively and picked up the tucked card. From the card was the smell of flowers . He read it immediately.

To Emily

Ever since we first met, you've stolen my heart. I think about you every second. The shadows of your face are always present. If you will, I want to be your lover.

Jerome Hunt's

Instantly Shiori's face flushed and heated up.

"From whom?’’ask father. Emily immediately kept the card on my back

"Not from anyone. This is from my friend. I'm going to the back to save this. Excuse me!’’

The next day he received a white rose. Emily has been receiving flowers for two weeks. He was glad that someone loved him. He was glad that a man gave her flowers every day.

Emily gets an invitation card for dinner from Jerome on the same day and hour. The card also says,

Don't close your heart to someone else, give yourself a chance to be loved.

Emily just looked at the invitation card and threw it in the trash. [ ]
