My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S3): Meet with Valentina

Two days later, Fabian visits a toy store and buys a sizable Teddy Bear on his way home from his office. The doll is for Valentina. A few minutes ago Arya sent a message that Valentina was cured and wanted to meet her. After getting the doll he wanted, he immediately went to the orphanage. Fabian was already impatient to meet him.

Fabian imagines Valentina's happy face as she accepts the prize. Ever since meeting the little girl, Fabian had always thought about it. There's something about Valentina that she doesn't know. It was as if there was a strong magnet pulling him to always be near Valentina. He had thought maybe because Valentina was the age of her missing daughter.

Fabian can't deny his feelings for Valentina as much as his own son, even though he's only met her for the first time. Fabian arrived at the orphanage at exactly 6 p.m.

Arya was already waiting for her arrival in front of the entrance. " Thank you for coming. What's that doll for Valentina?"

" It's for Valentina."

" Must be Valentina likes it. He's been waiting for that."

Arya escorts Fabian into the parlour's headroom and finds Valentina sitting on the sofa. The sound of Dehamn from Arya makes Valentina look back. The little girl stood up immediately.

" Good afternoon!"

" afternoon!"answer Fabian.

" This is Fabian Baskerville. The one who helped you, " said Arya.

" So you helped me?"

" Right."

" Thank you for helping me."

Fabian leaned over, then rubbed his hair." You welcome. I'm glad to see you're healthy again. "

Valentina smile.

The deg!

Fabian's heart stopped. Valentina's smile is very similar to Miya's and if you look carefully, Valentina is similar to Miya. What possible...

No. gabe. Valentina couldn't have been her son with Miya. Fabian did not dare to hope that Valentina was Caliope.

" I brought you a gift."

" Is this for me?"

Valentina's face was radiantly happy, then hugged her doll. " Thank you."

Fabian and Valentina sat back on the couch.

" Mister Baskerville, you're so good to me."

" Call me my name!"

" I'll call you Uncle Fabian."

" all right. You can call me uncle Fabian. It's been a long time since I've been called uncle."

Fabian smiled back to recall his meeting with Miya and called her with uncle.

" Uncle Fabian, why did the smile continue from earlier. Is there anything fun?"

" I'm just about to go through my beautiful past."

" It's worth it that Uncle Fabian smiles all over again."

" I'm excited to see Uncle Fabian today."

" I am too."

Arya is jealous of Valentina's closeness to Fabian. He did not want Valentina to linger near Fabian. The main objective of Arya to call Fabian here is not because of Valentina. It was just an excuse so that he could meet Fabian and get closer to him.

" You better go to the room now. You still have a lot of rest."

" But I still want to talk to Uncle Fabian."

" Valentina." Arya was already visibly upset and Valentina immediately lowered her head slightly. He was afraid, if he would be punished again in the basement.

Valentina nodded.

" I'm sorry Uncle Fabian, I want to go to the room first. Next time we talk again."

" All right."

Fabian kissed his plump reddish cheeks. " See you soon!"

" Bye bye! Thanks again for the gift."

Valentina left the parlour's headroom. Semarang just stayed Fabian with Arya. The woman sat in front of Fabian.

" I'm sorry to trouble you to come here to see Valentina. The boy always asks about you and is eager to meet his helper."

" I'm not at all troublesome otherwise I'm happy to see her again."

" Thank you. Maybe Valentina will trouble you a little for the next few days."

Fabian was thinking about something, then he decided to ask Arya.

" I want to ask you something."

" What about?"

" It's about Valentina."

" What do you want to ask about Valentina?"

" I want to ask you, who are Valentina's parents?"

" I don't know that time. Excuse me. All I know is Valentina was adopted by the Hunt family and they didn't say anything about the real family."

Arya narrowed her eyes." Like you're very interested in that girl?"

" How do I say yes. I've been stuck with Valentina since I first saw her. She's like my lost daughter, because they're the same age."

" So you see your daughter's shadow in Valentina?"

" It can be said that. Although I don't know what my daughter's face looks like, I found it in Valentina."

" Why Valentina? There are still many other children your daughter's age."

" I don't know either, but my feelings for the boy are very strong. I'm having a hard time explaining it."

" I got it. We'd better not talk about Valentina anymore. So how's your family doing?"

" My family's fine."

" It seems you love your wife very much."

" That's right. My wife is everything to me and she's half my life. "

Arya doesn't like to see Fabian love his wife so much. He had to erase his love for his wife and be replaced with a new love.

" I envy your wife to have a husband like you. If only I could have a husband like you I would be so happy."

"One day you'll get it."

"Of course."

That man is you, Fabian whispered Arya's heart.

" I'd better get on with it."

" Aren't we having dinner together here?"

"No. Next time."

"alright. I'll call you back if Valentina wants to see you again."

"of course. Good night!"

"Night."

🧸🧸🧸

Fabian comes home when Miya is preparing for the night. The smell of food makes him hungry. Miya approached Fabian and kissed him.

" Change your clothes! Then we'll have dinner. Please call Clarie and Jonathan too."

" All right, baby." Fabian blinked his eyes, then Miya rearranged the dining table. They then had dinner together.

During dinner, Fabian realizes that he and his small family have rarely vacationed together. Fabian is busy with his work and his children are busy with his school. Fabian decided to go on holiday with his family later this year.

Fabian revealed his plan and was welcomed by his wife and children.

" I can't wait for the end of the year" said Clarie.

" Must be a great holiday this time," rich Jonathan.

" Thank you for taking another vacation together, "rich Miya.

"I just want to make my family happy and I want to spend more time with you."

" I know," said Miya.

After finishing dinner, Miya and Fabian went to the room. Miya tells the story of Isabella who called her two days ago, because she only had a chance to tell Fabian.

" So Isabella's coming next week?"

" yes. "

" I'm glad to see him again."

"I'd like to invite Isabella to eat together here."

" yes. Sure oes. That would be so much fun."

" What's up?"

Fabian looked at Miya, then clasped her hands, when they were already in bed.

" I want to adopt a child."

Miya is shocked by Fabian's sudden desire.

" Adopting a child?"

" yes. "

"But why do you suddenly want to adopt a child?"

Fabian recounts his encounter with Valentina at the orphanage.

" I really love that kid. Valentina, good boy. She's beautiful, granddaughter, and as adorable as you."

" Are you serious about your wishes?"

" yes. Ever since I met him, my affection for the boy had suddenly appeared just like that. It's like I've known him for so long."

" It seems Valentina has already won your heart." Miya pouted.

" Are you jealous?"ask Fabian jahil.

" You were so excited to talk about Valentina."

Fabian embraced his wife's body and clenched. " You're still the woman I love and that never changes forever."

" I know that."

Miya looked at Fabian curiously. "Why can you go to an orphanage?"

" While on my way to the office a few days ago, I almost bumped into a woman."

" Is that woman okay?"

"He's fine."

"Then what happened?"

" I drove her to the Sunflower orphanage, because she was one of the caretakers of the parlour."

"Is it young and beautiful?"

" yes. Her name is Arya Cooke."

Miya again looks sullen and Fabian realizes Miya is jealous.

" Even though Arya is beautiful, you are the only beautiful woman in the world in my eyes."

Miya is happy and there is no reason to doubt her husband's love for her.

" Before you adopt Valentina, I have to meet her first."

" Of course. I'll bring you guys together. I'm sure you'll fall in love with that kid. It's night, we better get some sleep."

Miya nodded her head in Fabian's arms, then Fabian turned off the light.

🧸🧸🧸

Early in the morning before Fabian went to the office, Gilbert called him and told him that Albert Glimer had been arrested.

" Is that really?"

"Yes. I'll be right to the police station. We meet there."

Fabian hung up.

" What's going on?"asked Miya worriedly.

" The man who attacked me has been arrested."

" Really?"

" yes. Now Gilbert and I are going to the police station "

" Who is it?"

"Albert Glimer, Clarissa's older brother."

" What?"

"Later I will explain everything to you."

" All right."

After breakfast, Fabian left. Miya is worried about her husband's situation and she can't wait to hear everything from Fabian.

🧸🧸🧸

Erika has returned to school and she is surprised that Valentina is no longer here. He then meets Liza, one of Valentina's teachers.

Liza then tells about the accident that happened to Valentina. Erika was very surprised to hear it and she was also sad.

" Valentina lost a lot of blood, and then I donated my blood, because her parents couldn't donate it, because their blood types were different."

" different?"

" yes. Turns out Valentina wasn't their son."

Erika was again surprised.

"So Valentina wasn't their real child?"

" yes. And Valentina's father was so angry when he found out Valentina wasn't his son."

" Is Valentina healed?"

" Valentina's cured and she's home, and then I get word that Valentina's out of school."

" But why?"

" I don't know either."

" Thank you. I'll find out."

Erika leaves the teacher's room for her club and is greeted by her students. The bell rang and the children immediately entered the classroom. Erika is back alone in the clubroom. He decided to go to Jerome's house and meet Valentina there.

🧸🧸🧸

Fabian had reached the police station and met Gilbert there. They later met Albert.

Fabian and Gilbert sat opposite Albert.

" It turns out you're alive" Albert said.

" I'm still alive. Luck is still on my side. Why are you attacking me?"

" I attacked you to avenge Clarissa's death."

" Clarissa's death wasn't my fault. It was his own fault for burning himself. For years he had faked his death."

"If it wasn't for you, Clarissa wouldn't have been so desperate to burn herself."

" Clarissa could do anything to achieve her goal despite having to make people nearby suffer. Clarissa's actions are already out of bounds. He kidnapped my wife and wanted to kill her, but he killed himself. "

"How can you live again? It is not that all the members of Glimer have died" Gilbert said.

" That's right. I survived our crash fire and I was in a coma all along. When I came to my senses and knew that Clarissa was dead because of you, I wanted to kill you" he told Fabian.

" Clarissa, bad woman. He almost made my family suffer for it. It was probably a punishment God had given him for his evil deeds all along" Fabian said.

The officer said the visitation time was up. Fabian and Gilbert had to leave. Albert still looked on with hatred.

" Sister brother turned out to be equally evil" Gilbert said after they got out of prison.

" I don't want to think about this anymore."

" You're right."

They then left the prison

Erika goes to Jerone's house after school hours are over. In the taxi, Erika was restless and impatient to get to the Hunt family's house. The taxi finally arrived and stopped in front of the Hunt family home. Erika out of the taxi.

Erika pressed the bell, but no one answered her and the atmosphere of the house seemed quiet, then there was a woman who approached her and told her that this house was no longer inhabited. The owner of the house moved in a few days ago.

" Where did they move?"

" Nobody knows where they're moving to."

The woman left and Erika looked very disappointed. He also left the house. Erika no longer knew where to look and she also did not know why they had suddenly moved house.

🧸🧸🧸

Emily and her husband now live in a new home away from New York City. His gaze was far out the window. He missed Valentina. The shadow saw Valentina crying and calling her name when she and her husband left her in the foster home still reflected in her mind and her memory.

Slowly her tears came. Guilt kept haunting him. " I'm sorry, Valentina."

Emily then re-embraced her baby clothes to fill her free time. Her life felt lonely without Valentina by her side. Emily had persuaded Jerome many times to accept Valentina back, but his efforts were in vain. She did not expect her husband would not have pity on Valentina whom she had always loved before she knew Valentina was her son.

Emily has decided not to give up on persuading Jerome to bring Valentina back home. [ ]
