Seeing the presence of Alvero and Deanda, both Alaya and Alexis soon rose from their seats and paid their respects to the Gracetian king and empress.
Alexis knew right away, from the way Alvero immediately called him as master, showing that Alvero was keeping a distance with him at this time. And for sure, it was done by Alvero because of the influence of Deanda who seemed to have not been able to accept his presence which suddenly reappeared in his life.
Realizing that, Alexis could only fall silent, as he realized, that Deanda and Alvero's attitude, which clearly kept his distance from him, was something he had to accept. Consequences to his decision at that time. It was not Deanda's fault, let alone Alvero's.
Not to mention Alexis and Alaya took a breath to calm down, suddenly from another direction appeared Vincent with his wheelchair. Coming along with Enzo who pushed the wheelchair, it approached towards Alaya and Alexis.
Seeing that Alexis's whereabouts were clearly not a dream, Vincent immediately moved his hand towards Alexis, giving him a sign to get closer to her, making a slow but confident move, Alexis walked towards Vincent.
As soon as Alexis was standing right in front of Vincent, Vincent signaled Alexis to get closer to him and bend his body. As Alexis made Vincent's request, Vincent's hands quickly stretched out and hugged Alexis warmly.
“I hope this isn't just a dream. I'm so happy to see you again, Alexis. Sorry for making you sacrifice so much and suffer for fighting for the Adalvino.” family Vincent whispered softly in Alexis' ear with reddened eyes, let alone looking at the figure of the beautiful girl who was still standing in her place.
Without having to question any further, since Vincent saw the figure of the girl, there was something that made his heart rustle and was convinced that the girl was indeed Alvero's younger brother. Her daughter and Larena. From Alaya's eyes, Vincent could see clearly that the eye was inherited from Larena's eye. Beautiful eyes belong to the woman he so loved to this day.
And from the hair and the shape of the girl's face really is a reflection of her, making Vincent more convinced that Alaya must be her biological child with Larena.
“Your Highness, I also feel so happy to get the chance once again to be able to meet and get a hug from His Majesty.” Alexis immediately replied to Vincent sincerely.
Slowly, Vincent finally let go of his embrace to Alexis after a long time Vincent hugged Alexis to express his longing and gratitude to be reunited with his best friend in the past. A friend he thought had gone away from him forever.
Afterwards, Vincent signs Enzo back to help him push his wheelchair towards Alaya, who is standing in front of him with a face that looks so tense, Deanda, and Alvero who look calmer.
And the levee of Alaya's tears, instantly broke down, without being able to hold back her tears. After more than 20 years, since he was born, he had never met the father figure he sometimes wanted to meet. Without asking or suspecting him, Vincent immediately gave a warm embrace to him, making Alaya cry loudly, crying between haru, happy, sad, everything mixed into one.
Seeing how the father and son hugged each other tightly and warmly, unexpectedly by himself, tears suddenly drenched Deanda's cheeks that instantly turned her face away, in order for the others to not be able to see his reaction watching the scene before him, that was quite stifling his chest.
Deanda glanced at Alexis. If only to be honest, Deand also misses the figure of the father who was so admired and loved by him since long ago. It felt like he wanted to run and hug the figure of the father who had sometimes stopped in his dreams and daydreams because of the longing that often made him miss the existence of his father.
But the memory of the fact that without any message and explanation Alexis had already left him, make Deanda still survive to stand in place and wait for what Alexis will explain about events that have happened in the past. Why Alexis was so desperate to leave him with Lilian and Olivia who since leaving Alexis, his sweet attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees compared to when Alexis was still living with the three of them.
Lilian, who had always been sweet and gentle with him at first, suddenly began to be rude and no longer cared about him, even after Deanda could make money from her hard work. The money becomes an easy target for Lilian and Olivia to be able to live a fun life without having to work, relying on the money made by Deanda, without caring about Deanda.
The anger and disappointment in Deanda's heart today made Deanda refrain as much as possible from getting close to Alexis and hugging him tightly to show she was feeling so happy knowing Alexis was still lived. Although in his heart, Deanda was so eager to hug Alexis, to recall how in his childhood, Deanda did not have time to know his mother.
At that time, Alexis, who had always been with Deanda as a single parent, became the father and mother of Deanda, to this day her admiration for Alexis has always been maintained until a bitter reality is revealed, leaving Deanda feeling a perfect shadow of her father's figure being corrupted.
“Welcome son. I was so happy in my old age to be given such a special surprise from God, that I had a beautiful daughter like you. Forgive me for since your birth, even you are still in your mama's belly, I am not aware of your presence. Your life and your mama must not be easy and full of suffering out there. I'm really sorry I didn't know about your whereabouts from the beginning.” Vincent said as he gently stroked Alaya's back, her heart was getting warm treatment, which showed that Vincent loved her very much.
“Is your mama still alive? Is your mom okay now?” Alaya answered both of Vincent's questions with a soft nod without saying a word because it was still difficult for him to speak due to his crying that could not stop since Vincent hugged him
Nodding the head of Alaya, makes Vincent feel like he wants to shout loudly to declare that he is so happy to hear Larena is still alive and in good condition. Although for now, the two of them have not been able to meet, the info about Larena who is still alive makes Vincent feel like he wants to jump with both feet to show how happy he is, unfortunately for the moment Vincent is not able to do that.
