Promises From the Past

Family secrets

Being in a food court as promised by Anna for their lunch, Rea came with two men, although one more person was ten meters behind them.

Anna was delighted to see the closeness between Rea and Soldier, but it was not something called romantic, as Soldier only put on a flat face when Rea pulled her hand to get inside the dining hall.

"Rea come here...." Anna waved her hand to tell her where to sit.

Pulling a chair for Rea to sit down and Soldier took a seat next to Rea. While Ryan who was far away at the entrance just stood still showing a slashing face towards them.

"How about Ryan, don't you let him come here and sit with us." Ask Anna.

"He chose to be there, so I didn't force him." Rea gave an excuse.

"You are ..." As if Anna knew, if Rea's answer was just an excuse, because maybe she's still upset to live a life under her watch.

Anna took the initiative, she approached Ryan and brought him in to sit with them in the back corner.

"Sure you don't mind Rea ?." Anna said that she had invited Ryan over.

Rea resigned..."Even if I say no, you won't hear my answer."

"I take that as the answer."

"As far as you go."

Anna had ordered a few menus, and the waiters brought a variety of food on their desks.

"So what happened when you met your father Rea ?." Anna asked back.

"For some reason I was confused by my father's explanation of Mavendra's family background." Reply Rea a little lazily.

"Oh, what is this about the hidden dark side." Anna's laughter thought her words were a joke.

But seeing how Rea's flat expression made her realize that what she thought was a joke was indeed true.

"I can't laugh to hear this." Anna's words are serious.

"Only, one of the most important of all my father's stories is...."

Anna immediately covered Rea's mouth..."Wait for Rea before you say it, I want to ask..."

"What is that ?."

"Your woes don't concern yourself with the realm of law, do they ?." That's what Anna was worried about.

"Land of the law?, do you think I fabricate and plagiarize the work of others."

"Not that, but ...Hmmm like, I wouldn't go to jail if I found out about Mavendra's secret."

"Not really, because it's not about them... Wait, because it's still in touch with my family, so maybe there is." Rea changed her mind.

"Don't take for granted a secret that may be in the direction of a criminal offense. Rea. I don't want to be a witness to someone else's mistakes." Anna replied with rejection.

"Forgot it, everything's gonna be fine."

"Are you sure ?."

"Of course."

Although Anna was a little worried about having to interfere with the Mavendra family, but she was curious and began to get closer to hear Rea's words more clearly.

Continue to tell Rea..."So ... I actually have a long-lost brother."

"What's...." Anna's surprised.

"Huh ?." Ryan was confused.

"....Prasseh...." And the soldiers are already lying on the floor.

Soldiers looking for excuses.."It's okay, I'm fine, my legs sprained when I want to stand."

"Do I need to call an ambulance."

"Don't make a fuss over a little thing like this Rea."

"But...."

"Look, there's no problem whatsoever, I just sprained, you don't have to worry about Rea."

"All right."

Returning to their respective seats, Anna is now interested in the story of Rea's long-lost brother. Where all this time Anna only knows if Rea is the only daughter of Dirgan Mavendra and will be the heir of the family handed over to her husband later.

But with the figure of a brother who has been lost is now found, of course Rea's position as heir will be moved over to the brother.

"Rea is actually a serious matter, because if your brother returns home, the inheritance of the Mavendra family might be granted to him."

"I don't think it's a bad thing, because from the start, I wasn't interested in the Mavendra family's possessions, it was up to them to give them to whom."

"But you're overreacting, don't judge someone on your own, what if Rea's brother isn't greedy."

"Indeed, anyone in this world who is not tempted by the treasures of the Mavendra Family, one of Asia's crazy rich, surely he also wants it all." Reveal Anna.

"Haaaahhhh, not everyone is crazy about Miss Anna's honorable possessions." Answer the soldier calmly.

"Where do you have such thoughts from, do you yourself know what kind of nature big sister Rea is ?." Anna's reply pointed towards the Soldier.

'From you asking me whether I know it or not, you can see it directly the older brother of Rea who is right in front of your eyes now.' thought Soldier himself.

"Where do I know. Ask me that." Reply Soldiers casually.

It's just that Anna doesn't like Soldier's words..."It was, it was, a remark to escape from wrong."

As if Anna intended to throw the plate because she was annoyed by the way the Soldier spoke, Ryan quickly stopped the action, because it could make a commotion inside the restaurant, besides that, too, Anna would be wasting food that she had not had time to eat.

"Look, Miss Anna, you're going to throw her food away." Ryan tried to calm Anna's emotions.

"But I really don't like his attitude."

Anna sat back down. He tried to regulate the breath so as not to get carried away with emotions responding to the attitude of soldiers.

"Alright, I feel like there's no meaning in talking about the nature of others I don't know yet."

"You started it yourself." Soldiers back to insinuate.

Once again Anna stroked the chest.

Ryan tried to change the mood... "But if I see... Between Soldier and Miss Rea is quite similar, is it possible that this Soldier is Rea's missing brother."

Anna laughed out loud, she certainly responded to Ryan's words like a joke.... "Where do you see them, they are very similar, obviously different from any other aspect, like heaven and earth."

Soldiers were offended, but Anna's disbelief made her a little relieved. It's just that for Ryan, Soldier did not consider if his guess was a coincidence.

The ability of a former military member to analyze information from the surroundings was indeed very sharp. They knew him no more than three days ago. With just that little bit of information, Ryan was able to guess correctly.

"Miss Anna, indeed if I look at the appearance of Miss Rea and Soldier quite differently, but for some things, the two are quite similar."

Anna's interested..."For example."

"The way they take a serious look and also their nature when they're not joking." Ryan answered, looking at both.

Anna tried to understand Ryan's words and it is true, both of them will be other figures with a cold nature when upset or serious.
