ONE SUMMER NIGHT'S

SEA

"All right."

Eden massaged the neck of his neck strongly because again he only got the same answer from Ruel. However, he did not do as he said. What a wayward attitude Ruel enough to make him furious this time.

"I remind you for the last time, Ruel. You better stop your stupid activities, and just focus on your school. If not, I'll really throw you in jail" Eden threatened to look playless.

"Nr ...."

"What?! You mind, asshole?"

Ruel went back to silence with the molars clashing against each other in his mouth. Just this time he saw the Big Brother was really very angry at him, even continuing to curse since earlier. His brother is the only one who works as an officer. The police officer who just hunted him a few hours ago for a wild racing case.

"Don't you remember all the trouble you've caused that involved so many people?"

"I'm just motor racing and I don't make trouble."

"So you don't think what you've been doing all this time is troublemaking? Should I mention all the things you've done? These include fighting until the victim lies in a coma in the hospital for months, drinking alcohol and getting drunk, and rioting at nightclubs, damaging public facilities. You forget how much loss I have to pay to cover up what you've done, as well as save you from the clutches of Vincent who desperately wants to bend and throw you in jail? I don't know what would happen if he found out that the rascal he had been looking for all this time was my own brother."

Ruel fell silent this time, there were no more sentences that he issued as a defense.

"I remind you once again, Ruel. Focus on your school, remember. My late father and mother wanted you to go to college so you could study medicine ...."

"Ah is right. Of medicine? Will it be that easy? My brain won't be able to clear up all those lessons, brother. I'm not like you with a smart brain. Why don't you just quit your job now and start studying medicine?"

Plaque!

"Awwh .. oh come on, stop beating my head," protested Ruel as Eden again patted the back of his head.

"If I wasn't an officer, would you think anyone would protect you, you idiot."

"And do I have to be a doctor? Who am I going to heal? Father and Mother even died before getting treatment from them. Ah, I really hate doctors so much, why should I be like them."

"Then are you going to be a mafia? A gangster? Is that what you want?"

Ruel was silent again.

"This is my last warning, Ruel. You better take it before I send you out of the country. I'm not kidding this time. Uncle Arden will be happy to educate you there."

"Aren't you being too cruel to me, brother? Uncle Arden could've killed me."

"Then correct your attitude, before all the deeds you do here reach Uncle Arden's ears," Eden retorted.

"Relse ... Sis ...!" call Ruel who was completely ignored by Eden, along with the sound of the room door that sounded loud until it surprised him again.

"Ah, dammit! I could even be surprised at the sound of the door. Tsk, is that right, medicine? I will never go to college in .... "

"Sleep before I call Uncle Arden to pick you up right now!"

The loud voice of Eden was heard from inside the room which instantly made Ruel clench his lips, very upset. However, it could do nothing to vent the vexation of his heart.

Being in a separate place, precisely in a luxurious mansion.

"Young lady? Oh my God, where have you been? The great master had been waiting since earlier," greeted a middle-aged lung woman at the door, as Sea opened the door.

"Ssshh," Sea replied with a single signal for the middle-aged woman before him to shut up.

"Go to the room, before the great Lord ...."

"Sea?!" call someone from the end of the stairs.

Stand observe Sea with both hands in the pocket slim fit pants. A middle-aged man with neat clothes and hairdo, a face that still looks handsome at the age of 54. Seem strong and dominant.

"Dad not slept?"

"How can you sleep if your daughter's still hanging around outside this late."

Sea took a deep breath and took it out slowly. He gestured for the housekeeper to leave before walking over to the father.

"Is Dad waiting for me?" tanya Sea gave a warm smile that immediately melted the heart of the Father.

"Yes, with a feeling of worry."

"Aricia said you left the hospital two hours ago."

Sea fell silent again, thinking. It is impossible to tell the father about the incident he had experienced an hour ago with a foreign man who suddenly dragged him to run and hide together.

"I missed the night bus."

"You can call Charlos to pick you up, right?"

"Sorry, Dad. I just don't want to bother him."

"It's his job to take care of you."

"I know, once again forgive me for worrying you."

The middle-aged man was none other than Mr. Theodoric. The father of Sea could only take a deep breath, rubbing his daughter's hair.

"From now on, Charlos will be with you wherever you go."

"Yes, Dad."

"Rest, you look so exhausted. And don't forget, take your medicine before bed."

"Yes," nodded Sea before walking away, leaving the father still standing there watching him, and returning to the study as Sea's shadow disappeared from behind his door.

Not even had time to sit his body on the chair, the sound of the phone ringing again.

"Yes. Aricia."

"Sir, is Miss Sea back?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ah, thank goodness. I'm worried about not being able to reach her."

"You don't have to worry."

"Yes, Sir."

Silent for a few seconds.

"Arica."

"Yes, Sir?"

"How is the sea? I didn't get to ask him that."

"Until now, his heart condition is fine, sir. You don't have to worry."

Mr. Theodoric again took a heavy breath as he closed in. He will feel suddenly anxious if it is about Sea and heart disease that he suffers. Although Aricia, the Sea's personal doctor said that Sea's heart condition is fine. However, it was not enough to calm Mr. Theodoric down. Because he knows if the princess is still fine just because of the drugs consumed. Even they never know, when the condition of Sea will worsen, it could be Sea leave them alone if one day the medicine consumed can not save him again.

"Sir, are you still there?"

"Yes. Aricia's. Thank you." Thank you."

"Sir, if I may suggest something. Never show your sorrow or concern in the presence of Miss Sea, do you understand, right? What do I mean?"

"Yes. Aricia, I know. Sometimes I have trouble controlling my own feelings. Sea is my daughter, even his late mother wishes I could take very good care of him."

"Yes. I'm quite understanding of your feelings, it's just. Sea really does not want to make you worry, especially sad because of it. He loves you and cares for you."

"I know."

"Alright, good night, Mr. Ric. Sorry to interrupt your break."

Phone calls disconnected. Tell Mr. Theodoric who is still standing there daydreaming with a feeling that is still in the feeling of anxiety, until it turned into sadness when returning to remember the late wife who had left them first when Sea was five years old.

Elmeire, I'm not okay right now, and neither is our daughter. What am I supposed to do? I was terrified at all times, remembering that Sea could leave me at any moment, like you.
