My Family's Secret

To Dhanu's grandfather's mansion

When Allard fell asleep, I cleaned up the breakfast and cleaned the house. Yes our house has no art. Suddenly I remembered Allard's words earlier, I took my phone and checked it. Sure enough, there were hundreds of calls from grandfather, brother Alvaro, Allard, Merry, Dion, and Jessica. Waitie? Jessica's? Why would Jessica call me?

I called Jessica and asked her why. "Hello, what did you call me yesterday?"

"Alexa! Oh my gosh, thank god you are safe."

"The cafe? What do you mean? I'm fine."

"I know you were missing yesterday."

"Jeez Jessica, I'm not missing but leaving without permission."

"You're lying!"

"I'm not lying, Jessica."

"Then why can't you be contacted and I can't track you?"

"You're trying to track me, too?"

"Of course, I don't know where my best friend is and you could be in danger. That's why I'm trying to track you down."

"Jessica, this is weird."

"Weird why? Something happened to you yesterday, right?? Let's tell you soon."

"Hmm not so, forget it."

"You got to me? I'm your best friend, you can tell me everything. You recall? You used to tell a lot of things you couldn't even tell your own family."

"I remember. But sorry Jessica, not that I don't want to tell you just that the time isn't right yet, I don't want to think negatively just yet."

"It's up to you. If there's anything tell me okay?"

"Yes. Thank you, Jessica."

"My pleasure babe. Yaudah I have a meeting in a minute, I'm closing ya."

"Yes, Jessica's spirit."

Phone ends.

"Even Jessica, who has been tracking me a lot, can't do it this time. Actually how did that happen? I have to go back there and make sure of it again." I also went to Dhanu's grandfather's mansion but this time I left a piece of paper on the drawer next to the bed so that Allard could easily find it. Because I'm also on clearance not to work so I'm free today.

Arriving at Dhanu's grandfather's mansion I saw my phone signal and it turned out that not a single rod appeared even there was a red cross there. It's freaky.

Just when I wanted to hurry away suddenly Grandpa Dhanu appeared. "Hello Alexa, how quickly you've been here again. Do you want to try making it again? This time Grandpa will help you."

I don't know why I'm scared. I want to go home soon but I'm too afraid to refuse. I finally accepted his invitation. And here I am, in Wesley's company lab. There is Regan who is focused on making something.

I'm approaching Regan. "Hi, what else?"

"Hello lady, I'm applying ready-made artificial leather" she replied.

"Can I try it? I can apply makeup," I asked.

"Of course you can, please."

When I saw the makeup equipment I was wearing, I was shocked. "Good gosh can-can make this artificial skin with expensive makeup."

"Of course because as grandfather explained that the skin we use is like real leather so you should not use products carelessly," explained Dhanu's grandfather.

"That's great" I said in amazement.

"So you want to stay here with Regan or join Grandpa in making the product?" ask grandpa Dhanu.

"I'll be here for a while, I'll catch up" I replied.

"Okay, grandpa's in the next room."

I'm nodding.

I still wonder where this skin came from, who produced it? Why it can be so similar to real leather.

While being focused on thinking Regan's voice broke my focus. "Are you curious about these skins?"

"Hahaha can you read someone's mind? How do you know what I'm thinking?" my many.

"I can't read someone's mind, just that the curiosity of the lady is clearly visible on the face of the lady" he replied.

"Is that so? Did you notice my face?" godaku's.

The trangg! Regan accidentally nudged the aluminum container.

"Jeez Regan, I'm shocked. You all right?" manyworry.

"L-yes, miss, I'm fine" she replied.

Regan immediately covered her face and said, "Ti-no, I'm just getting hot. Then I'll let you out for a while, please miss continue."

I laughed at her behavior, she was as adorable as Allard. Ah yes Allard, how long have I been here?

I approached Grandpa Dhanu. "Grandfather, I'm going home first. Allard's sick so I can't leave him alone for too long at home."

"Wow Allard could be sick? It's a shock."

I raised my eyebrows. "What does grandfather mean? Of course he can be sick, he's human too."

"What kind of man doesn't die when he's hit by a poisoned knife?"

"What?! What does that mean?"

"Ah no, grandfather just the origin of the talk. Oh yes drink this tea first, grandpa made it himself. This tea is good for relieving aches. Your body must be sore from sitting in the same position for hours."

With doubt I received the tea.

"Drink, grandpa guarantee it tastes so good that he wants to die hahaha."

"Hahaha what are the words of grandfather like an easy child today who likes to say that when eating good food."

"Yes dong, gaul hahaha. Quickly drink before the tea is cold, after this grandfather will prepare a driver for you."

I drank it up too. It's great! My aches are completely gone.

"Better, right? And of course it tastes good."

"It turns out that in addition to experts in the field of technology you are also experts in the field of tea leaves."

"of course. But why are you talking to me formally?" tanyanya's confused.

"Ah sorry I accidentally spoke formally. It's a habit, when I meet someone so great I unconsciously change the way I talk."

Grandpa Dhanu nodded. "so."

"Hmm grandfather, I plan to invest my money into a 15-year-old. What about grandpa?" ask for an opinion.

"What is that kid good at?"

"Tea leaves, just like Dhanu's grandfather."

"Alexa, I only know a few types of tea leaves."

"Is that so?"

"Yes." Yeah."

And the tea leaves that I know of are a dangerous type of tea leaf. Inner grandpa.

"So what about grandpa?"

"Maybe, but what's your purpose in investing in him?"

"Well, I just wanted to help her, because it's a shame her skills just got buried, right?"

"Have you ascertained his skills directly?"

"Not yet, but hearing my assistant's story I feel like I want to help him."

"You're a good boy. Make sure first his ability then you can decide whether he is really worthy or not."

"What if he's not worthy?"

"Then don't invest in him because it's a waste of your money and time."

"Don't it matter? What matters is that he's trying."

"Not worth it and failing there are two different things Alexa. You can't close your eyes just because you're cut out. Those mistakes can affect you as well so make a wise decision," he advised.

"All right."

"Does that tell me the boy is your assistant Merry?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"No, grandfather just asked."

"Well, if I'd like to go home."

"Yes, Grandpa's driver is waiting for you up ahead. Come again next time."

That's if you survive. His inner.

I'm leaving too.
