"Yes, that's enough." Aldrich quietly turned off the voice recorder inside his backpack.
Did it just happen? Ria was confused and panicked again. He had no idea what plan the boy was hiding. There's no way he brought a lot of thugs here just to ask, right?
"Give me your earrings and ring." Aldrich raised his hand in front of Ria with a cold expression.
"What?! Not want!"
"You should have a lot, right? Besides buying that thing again is like buying crackers for you. Or do you want thugs outside who take it for themselves? Because honestly they want it so much. Maybe I can't help you."
Ria shook her head quickly, then took off all her jewelry to give to Aldrich. After finishing putting the jewelry in Aldrich's hands, the boy also put something in Ria's hands.
"What's this?" Tanya Ria did not believe what she saw.
"It was a cheerful gift from me to my great-grandmother." Aldrich smiled and got out of the car. But before closing the door, he turned his head towards Ria. "Just think, who's wrong?"
Ria kept staring at Aldrich from inside the car. The boy gave all the jewelry he brought to his friends.
I can't believe that the boy has prepared it, and will reply in the same way.
With trembling hands, Ria looked at her palm. It was some medicine that was still sealed in his container.
Cheerful gift? Whatdoes thatmean? Did he think I would betray his mistress by harming her?
"Just think, who's wrong?"
Whose fault? Yonna's fault, of course! Everything's wrong with him! Wrongfully...
Ria again clasped her head firmly. He began to recall all the events in the past. Actually, this wouldn't have happened if Yelena hadn't been so scared in the first place, right?
Could the kid be right? it's not Yunna's fault, it's not my fault, but... The old man's fault!

"Pull the breath, exhale. Pull again, pull again, dance."
"Can we be serious now?" Matt looked at Emma who kept talking strangely.
"My lady needs a drink, not a breath." Mr. Darma, who was yelled at by Emma, felt his life was not long.
From inside the house, Ruri came while carrying a glass of water. Not yet handed over, Mr. Darma had already seized it and drank it up in a matter of seconds.
"Now explain why you came home in this situation?" Emma asked when she wanted to get out of the house and found that Mr. Darma had been lying stiff at the door.
"He went after Aldrich. Oh, my God, I forgot about you." Ron patted Darma on the shoulder with guilt. He could have forgotten, and it was night.
"really?! How then?" Ask Matt enthusiastically.
"I went around in circles because I lost track of them. Then as I passed by a market, I saw a lot of people crowding around, and there were some policemen as well. When I asked one of the swordsmen, did he see a little boy running around carrying a backpack? Eh that person instead shouted 'He knew the kid earlier!!!' Then I was chased by one-market traders who were asking for money. Hicks." Mr. Darma returned sprawled after remembering how ill-fated he had been.
"Residence?" Ruri astonishment.
"Maybe Aldrich ran there. And because of the pursuit that took place, it resulted in people's merchandise being damaged." Emma Analysis.
Matt rubbed his chin while thinking. "That's right Aldrich was there. But if that's the case, why hasn't the boy returned yet?"
"Don't Aldrich won't come back." Ruri's mouth was immediately patted by Ron after saying so. Given her melancholy miss, she was afraid she would be sad if she imagined it.
"He'll be back. I'm sure." Emma stared at her watch for a while, then walked towards her car. "I'll look for him."
"I have a clue."
Suddenly another voice answered Matt. The man who had just entered the fence shocked everyone.
"Wayne?" Emma rubbed her eyes many times because she did not believe what she saw herself.
"Why is the house phone turned off? I had to walk here, just for the kid. It sucks." Wayne folded his hands with an annoyed expression.
"What's? That kid?" Emma raised her next to her eyebrows suspiciously.
"Aldrichs. I had a chance to meet him, and we split up this afternoon."

"It must be expensive." Popol continuously said that sentence when he saw the jewelry of their spoils.
"Tobeli, you're having a birthday in a few days, right? What gift do you want from us?" Uncle Tong asked with a nod of his minions' heads.
"I don't want anything."
Aldrich's friends suddenly exchanged lyrics to see the attitude of his little friend. Ever since leaving the luxurious hospital, Aldrich kept silent like a person full of burdened thoughts. Actually they want to ask, but are afraid of disturbing his mysterious privacy. So they decided to keep quiet.
After arriving at the popol house, they agreed to save their income and sell it tomorrow. Uncle Tong and his subordinates left. Aldrich was sitting there.
"Want to stay?" Popol asked while sitting next to Aldrich.
"Maybe. Let me be alone first."
Popol. He did not know what was going on, he just obeyed Aldrich. So to support him, he will return to his obedience and go into his own house. Leaving Aldrich who was just sitting in front of his small house.
Aldrich's eyes drifted with the murky river water he saw. Popol House on the riverbank just like his house, is a wild house that was established with origin. Seeing that, from a small Aldrich never imagined in the slightest if in fact he was the son of a wealthy family with all the complexity that accompanies it. Pleased? Or sad? He felt that his life was better. When his mind was filled only work, money, and medicine for his mother. Now what's he doing? Just a despicable act of taking each other down.
What kind of life do I have to go through now? Mom, tell me.
Aldrich hugged himself, who suddenly wanted a hug. But there was no one on his side. He misses his mother. Although angry, but just by looking at the mother, he was calm. Now, without him it feels very painful.
"Mother..."
Suddenly a pair of hands emerged from behind Aldrich's back and hugged him from behind. Of course it surprised him. When he looked, he found a friendly face that was smiling towards him.
"Mother?" Aldrich could not believe what he was seeing. It was really his mother, but with a fresher state, unlike the person who was enduring the pain as he was alive.
"Listen mother. Whatever happens, I'll always be on Aldrich's side. Understood?" Said the mother while rubbing Aldrich's cheek that was wet with tears.
Hearing these words, Aldrich recalled that his mother had said the exact same thing to him as a child. Is this just his memory?
"In addition to mom, there is also someone else who will continue to be by your side. So don't feel like you're alone."
"Other people? Who?"
His mother smiled and pointed in a direction. Aldrich turned his head to follow his mother's finger pointing, and how surprised he was when he saw Emma running towards him.
"My son!!!" Shouted Emma who made Matt who was running behind him must cover his ears firmly.
Aldrich smiled. What the fuck? How humiliating.
When she looked at her mother, there was no one else there.
