President's Beloved

President's Beloved
China, We're Back!



The piano keys that touched the heart were heard from the music room of the Shane family mansion. The melody symbolizes sadness, making anyone who hears it drown in the pianist's feelings. 


"Mommy is sadder than us. But he did not show verbally. Only with his demeanor glum and like this" said Lucas who along with Liam saw their Mommy who played piano from the front door of the music room. 


Liam did not answer. His gaze was fixed on his Mommy back who was so immersed in pressing the piano keys melody. 


"This week we must have made Mommy even more depressed." 


"Yes. You're right." Liam turned. 


"Where are you going?"ask Lucas. 


"Mommy's smile is back" Liam replied without turning around. 


"We must end the mourning period. Mommy needs our support to rise from her grief, " Liam added, this time looking back with a smile. 


"You're right!"exclaim Lucas. Approaching Liam, he embraces his twin brother with a smile.

"Sir …." Dion entered the music room. 


"What's up?"camelia asked, sighing after finishing with her piano game. 


"You still aren't willing?"dion asked, standing beside Camelia.


"It's been a really tough week, Dion." Camelia. 


"It feels so heavy because you're harboring your grief" Dion said flatly. Since the news was revealed, Camelia showed that she was tough.


"Children will be even more devastated if I show my sorrow. I have to be strong to make them stronger. You know for yourself it's not how close Lucas and Liam are to Chris" Camelia replied slowly.


"You feel so lost?"


"Yes." Yeah." It's a lie if Camelia says no. No more warm morning greetings from Chris. No more hugs with Chris. Camelia admitted, she was very used to Chris' sweet attitude. The warm embrace, the sweet kiss on the hands and forehead, Chris' signature scent, still vividly remembered in his memory.


"Well will Big Brother continue to drown in it? The melody that Brother played earlier told all the residents of this house, Brother is still in the shadow of losing brother Chris. Brother wasn't even like this when we left China." Camelia looked up, looking at her sister with a frown. "Really?"


"Yes!"


"I didn't realize it." Camelia stood up, walking towards the window that was directly directed to the park. 


"You must rise, brother!"dion said, firmly. 


"Dion ... How long have we not been home?"


"Going home? Go home to where? This is our house!" Dion was confused by Camelia's question.


"Five years. Long enough time is natural if you forget our origin."


Heh.


Camelia let out a rough sigh. His eyes bore a longing. He and Dion have changed their nationalities. 


"I mean you're going back to China, right?" Dion ensure. Since leaving the homeland, for Dion Camelia is his home. Where Camelia is, that's where she is. This mansion was his second home, recalling it back to the Liang family home before Rose was present, warm and loving. 


"We can change our citizenship, but our origins won't change. I intend to go home, what about you, Dion?" Dion was silent at Camelia's question. It had not occurred to him to go back to China. Even so, in the deepest recesses of his heart missed his parents terribly. 


"To the Liang family?"ask Dion, make sure.


"I want to bring the children to visit the ancestors."


Ah right too. Coming home to China doesn't mean coming home to the Liang family, does it? The ancestor? Dion was eager to make a pilgrimage.


"How long?" Dion had to take care of his license after this. He has become an employee of Shane Group, can not go home and leave the task.


"Possible one to three months. However, if you want to go home first is not a problem. Because Brother has some past business to settle!" Camelia's gaze turned sharp. Dion felt a great seriousness in the last sentence. It flashed in her mind that the past affair was a night of doom that made her brother lose the honor. 


"Then I have to prepare everything." Dion also wants to know how the condition of his biological family is. 


"I am too."

"I want a vacuum for the next three months. Please help me get my leave to the agency."


"I'm doing fine. I want to go home, calm my heart and visit my ancestors. Before the comeback I wanted Lucas and Liam to know my birthplace."


"No problem."


Camelia closed the call. He smiled faintly and breathed a sigh of relief. The opportunity to go home was finally wide open.


"I'll tell them this." Camelia. Just a few steps he stopped when he heard Lucas calling with a loudspeaker. Directions from the park. Camelia looked out of the window. He was stunned to see a large banner held by several servants with Lucas and Liam in front of the servants. Lucas's holding the loudspeaker. 


Mommy don't be sad anymore! We are always there for you! That's what it says on the banner. 


"Mommy don't be sad anymore. Daddy will be sad there too. Mommy has to get up! We're there to accompany Mommy! We'll never leave Mommy, forever!"  


"Mom, Daddy's calm in nature. Daddy definitely doesn't want us to continue to drown in grief."


"You're rambling!" Liam grumbling. He took over the loudspeaker his brother was holding.


"Mom, life goes on!"said Liam. Short but deep. 


Camelia closed her mouth. Eyes glazed. After he descended by jumping from a window that was lined about 4 meters from the ground as Lucas stretched out his hand. Camelia got safely, directly running towards her two children. Camelia hugged her two children. Her tears are falling. He cried out the sadness that he felt because of Chris' departure. 


Lucas and Liam are no longer crying. They let Chris go. Being sad and crying won't change anything. 


A waiter approached with a tray.


His third hug was over. "Mom." Liam thrust out a red balloon that had not been blown. 


"What's this?"ask Camelia confused.


"Pour all Mommy's grief by blowing this balloon. Then we fly. Our grief will be carried away by the wind and may break in the clouds" Lucas said. He was already holding a blue-colored balloon that had not been blown. Liam is yellow.


"alright. We do it together." 


They started blowing balloons. After everything expanded greatly, the three of them took off the balloon again about to the sky. 


"How, Mom?"asked Lucas expectantly. He was very sure how and Liam would succeed. Camelia nodded. 


"Mom feels a lot better."


"Ah thank goodness." Lucas hugged his thinly smiling sister. 


"Lucas, Liam has something to say to Mommy." 


"What is that, Mom?"


"We're going back to China, Mom's country of birth. You want to, right?"


Lucas and Liam look at each other, "home for what?"ask Lucas.


"Berziarah" replied Camelia.


"Pilgrimage? Will it make you better?"


Camelia nodded, "okay!"


"Liam?"


"Have we ever been apart?" Camelia smiled with relief. 


"After our permission comes out, we'll be on our way."

Camelia conveys her intention to return to China to Mr and Mrs Shane. Mr and Mrs Shane, who could not disagree, invited Camelia to return to China. Provided that after Camelia's affair there is over, you have to return to this mansion again. Although Chris and Camelia have divorced, Camelia's relationship with Shane's family continues. Especially with Dion who will replace Mr. Shane in five months, and Liam who has been listed as the heir of the Shane family. 


Camelia, Lucas, Liam, and Dion leave in two days. The next morning, Mr and Mrs Shane escorted the four families to the airport. The plane will take off fifteen minutes. 


They're using Shane's family's private plane. Airports were cleared to avoid public crowds. Before leaving, Camelia, Lucas, Liam, and Dion took turns hugging Mr and Mrs Shane. The message the parents gave to people who were like their own children.


Fifteen minutes later, the plane took off for China. Camelia and Dion looked at each other with meaningful smiles, China, We're Back!
