My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S3): Aryan Trap

Arya looked at Valentina and frightened the little girl. He was afraid that Arya would kill him just as she had done to Nancy. He was eager to tell people that Arya had killed Nancy, but she was just a child and probably would not have believed him. Now they're both in Arya's room.

" Remember my words. Later after Fabian comes, you have to pretend to be sick."

" Why should I pretend to be sick?"

" Don't ask too many questions! Just do my orders."

Valentina.

" good. Fabian will be here soon. We better go to your room."

Arya takes Valentina to her room and tells her to lie on the bed.

" You have to act well, otherwise I'll punish you."

" Good."

Arya always looked at her watch and walked back and forth in the room. Sometimes he sighed. Valentina watched him from under the blanket. He wondered what Arya would plan to do to pretend to be sick.

The door opened, Arya was happy to see Fabian coming. He soon approached Fabian, but Fabian ignored him and soon approached Valentina.

" You're okay? Why does it suddenly hurt."

" Uncle Fabian, I'm fine."

" So Valentina fell off the swing, because her head was thin" Arya said. "Now Valentina is fine and just needs to rest."

Fabian breathed a sigh of relief."Thank goodness!"

" I'm sorry to bother you to come here."

" You're not bothering uncle at all."

Valentina smiled and her smile warmed Fabian's heart.

" Fabian, you better let Valentina rest. Let's just talk in my room."

" All right."

Fabian and Arya leave Valentina alone in the room. After the door closed, Valentina got out of her bed and came out of the room.

Inside Arya's room, Fabian sat down while waiting for Arya to make coffee for her in the kitchen. Arya's eyes moved around to make sure no one saw her putting sleeping pills in the coffee, then she left the kitchen smiling. The door of the room opened and Arya came in carrying a coffee cup.

"This is the coffee."

"Thank you."

Fabian was about to drink coffee, suddenly the door slammed open making them surprised. Fabian didn't drink his coffee.

"Valentina," cried Arya.

"Uncle Fabian."

" Why are you? Is anyone sick again?"tanyanya.

Valentina shook her head. Arya looked at Valentina with an annoyed look, as Valentina had already ruined her plan of trapping Fabian to sleep with her.

"I can't sleep. I want Uncle Fabian to accompany me to bed."

Fabian smiled, then gently stroked Valentina's head. " Of course."

Valentina realizes Arya is angry with her, but she doesn't care anymore, as she wants to save her uncle Fabian from Arya's evil intentions. Valentina knew Arya had put something in the coffee Fabian was going to drink, because he was following Arya, when the woman went to the kitchen.

" Let's go to the room! Uncle will accompany you to sleep."

" Oh yeah uncle's coffee missed. Let me take him."

Valentina brought the coffee and pretended to drop it by accident.

" Valentina" cried Arya angry.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it." Valentina was crying.

" It's. It's okay" Fabian said.

Arya can't scold Valentina in front of Fabian.

" We'd better go to your room."

Valentina nodded.

" I'm sorry Valentina. He accidentally dropped the cup. So don't scold him" Fabian told Arya.

"I won't scold him."

Arya tried her hardest to hold back her anger towards Valentina. He threw a threatening look at Valentina when their sight met.

Fabian led Valentina to his room. On the way, they met the head of the orphanage. Marie was surprised by Fabian's arrival.

" I don't know, you'll come here."

" My arrival here was sudden, because I was told Arya, Valentina fell on a swing and got sick."

Marie was confused.

" Valentina didn't fall off the swing and didn't get sick."

" but...."

Fabian then realized something, then looked at Valentina. The little girl looked down.

" I'll take Valentina to her room first."

"Please!"

Arriving in the room, Valentina got into her bed. The room was still empty, because the other children were playing. From the outside of the window was a clear sound of children's laughter.

"The answer honestly. What the head of the parlour said was true? If you don't fall off the swing and your head becomes sore and dizzy."

Valentina did not dare to look at Fabian.

" Uncle won't be angry if you're telling the truth."

" I didn't fall off the swing and I didn't get sick."

" Why are you lying?"

" I don't really want to lie. I had to do it."

" Look at Uncle, Valentina!"

Valentina looked at Fabian.

" Why do you have to lie?"

" I told someone to lie, if I didn't follow his orders, he'd punish me."

" He's who?"

Valentina fell silent.

" Miss Cooke."

" Arya?"

Valentina nodded.

" But why does Arya force you to lie?"asked Fabian did not understand.

" The real reason I don't know. Every time I ask him, he'll scold me."

Fabian. " Yes already. Next time you don't want to be forced to lie again."

Valentina nodded.

" Are you sleeping or playing with the other kids?"

" I'm just here."

" all right. But Uncle can't linger with you here, because Uncle has to come home soon. Uncle is having a guest far away."

" I understand."

Erika once again goes to Jerome's burning home alone to search for Valentina's whereabouts. He asked the people around him again, hoping that someone would know about Valentina's whereabouts.

When she was exhausted, Erika sat down holding a photo of Valentina. He doesn't know where to look for Valentina. Someone held her shoulder and Erika was shocked.

"Fish," cried Erika surprised.

" It turns out you're really the Teacher's Miss."

" Mikan, tell me what really happened and where is Valentina? I've been looking for him everywhere."

Mikan told Erika with a sad face. The fire was caused by gas leaks. Emily was in the kitchen unaware of the gas leaking, then started a fire and a fire broke out. At that time Mikan was going to the mini market to buy eggs and wheat flour to make cakes

Mikan survived the service, while the other waiter and Lincoln, who were in the yard at the time of the incident, were seriously injured and are now being treated in hospital.

"I'm so sorry about what happened to you."

"Thank you."

"Then where's Valentina?"

" Valentina doesn't live with us anymore. The Master and Madam took him to a place and when they came home, Valentina was no longer with them. When I asked them, Mr. Jerome and Mrs Emily didn't want to tell me."

"I'm really worried about Valentina, because she's out of school."

"I'm worried about him too."

" I live with the new Master and Lady. I just got back to work as a waitress."

" Thank God."

Erika looked at her watch.

" I have to get home soon. It's nice to see you again in good condition."

"I also. If you meet Valentina, please say hello from me "

"Of course."

" Bye bye, Mikan!"

"Bye bye!"

Fabian leaves Valentina already asleep. He covered her, then kissed her on the forehead.

"I'll pick you up soon and take you home as my son" he told sleeping Valentina.

Fabian put his hand against the door, pushed the door open, and the door closed slowly. He meets Arya in front of the entrance of the orphanage.

" You're going home yet?"

" yes. Valentina's asleep."

" Thank you for coming."

" Of course. Excuse me!"

Fabian heads to his driven car and Arya notices Fabian, though he fails to execute his plans because of Valentina, he will try it next time. Fabian's car has left the orphanage. Arya goes back in and looks for Valentina to punish her.

Arya walked into the room and woke Valentina violently.

" Wake up lazy boy!"

Valentina woke up and rubbed her eyes. He was terrified to see Arya looking at him angrily. Arya clutched Valentina's hand not caring about Valentina in pain.

" You have foiled my plan and I will punish you now. I'll punish you in the basement again."

Valentina's face grew pale and she shook her head.

" You can punish me for anything, but don't punish me in the basement. I don't want to."

Valentina started crying.

"That's a punishment you deserve."

Arya drags Valentina.

" Let go of me! Unhand me!"

Arya continues to drag Valentina by force. Valentina bit Arya's hand to make the woman upset and put her grip on Valentina's arm, then Valentina stepped on Arya's foot, then lightning-fast out of the room and ran away.

" Valentina, wait!"

Arya is after Valentina who runs very fast. Valentina ran outside the orphanage, then hid behind the trees. He sees Arya looking for him and calls out his name. Valentina doesn't want to go back to the orphanage anymore. He decided to return to his former home and meet his adoptive parents.

After Arya is no longer visible and has returned to the courtyard of the orphanage, Valentina runs and the sky is dark. He must immediately find a place to take refuge. The streets were dark and Valentina was walking. He was thirsty and hungry. I don't know how long he walked.

Valentina saw the gas station from a distance and she tried to walk even though her legs were already very sore. Once there, Valentina fell unconscious.

Arya who lost Valentina was forced to report to the head of the orphanage.

" What did you say?"shouted Madame Harper.

"I tried to chase him, but I lost him."

Mrs Harper was sitting limp in her chair. He was worried about Valentina wandering alone in the streets at night.

" Arya, why did Valentina escape?"

Arya looks agitated and panicked." I don't know. So what do we do now?"

" We have to look for him tomorrow, because it's already night. The problem with Nancy's disappearance is still not over, now Valentina is running away from the orphanage. You'd better rest first, tomorrow we're looking for Valentina maybe the kid's still around here. He couldn't have gone far."

Arya nodded and returned to her room. "The boy really always makes trouble" he murmured.

Valentina started to wake up and there was a grandfather looking at her anxiously.

" Thank God you've come to your senses, son," said an old man.

"Where am I?"

"There's a mini market of mine. I found you passed out in front."

" I have to get out of here."

" Where are you going these nights and where are your parents?"

" I'm going to see Roberts' teacher, but I don't know where the house is, so I want to see him at my old school. I don't know where my parents are now."

Valentina looked sad.

" What's your name?"

"Valentina."

" I'll take you to school tomorrow. What's your school's name?"

" Hawking Elementary."

" I know that school."

" Thank you for helping me."

" Tonight you sleep here."

Valentina nodded.

Miya and Isabella spoke late into the night in the backyard of the mansion while enjoying the fresh air at night. They talk about things like remembering their college life, their wedding day, and their marriage.

"Your married life is filled with extraordinary things even until you become the abductee of Fabian's revived ex-wife."

"true."

"Even someone would kidnap your newborn baby."

Miya gave a long sigh."I still hope the man who kidnapped my son returns it to me immediately."

"It will all end well. You have to believe that. Wherever your daughter is, she'll be fine."

Isabella began to sleepy and she was unable to resist her drowsiness.

" We'd better get some sleep" Isabella suggested.

" I'm sleepy too."

They went to their own rooms. Miya saw Fabian was sleeping well. He slowly laid his body beside Fabian.

The next morning, Arya and Lady Harper search for Valentina along the way in a car.

" I'm sure Valentina won't be able to go all the way from here" Mrs Harper said.

Mrs Harper drove her car slowly while looking to the right and left of the road maybe she saw Valentina walking.

" We have to find Valentina soon, because she will soon be adopted by the Baskerville family" Mrs Harper said.

After half an hour they searched for it, they got into the gas station to fill up the gas. Arya got out of the car and went into the mini market to buy a drink.

"Did you see this girl?"arya asked the shopkeeper.

" I'm sorry I didn't see it."

"Thank you."

Arya got out after paying for her drink and got back in the car.

" Where else should we go?"ask Arya.

" We went to her foster parents' house. Maybe Valentina went there."

"Are you sure Valentina was there?"

" I'm not sure, but at least we've been looking for him there."

"But how did Valentina get to her foster parents' house? That's if he's there."

"It's possible that Valentina got a ride from the passing cars."

A pick up car stopped in front of Valentina's school and she got off the car.

"Thank you for taking me."

" I hope you can meet your teacher's mother."

"Yes. And please don't tell anyone where you're taking me, because I don't want that woman to find me, because she's so mean."

" all right. I won't say anything.'

Valentina shut the car door and she got into her old school and went to the acting club. Valentina smiled to see Erika there. [ ]
