Autumn turned to the uncle who was standing not far from her. "Where are you going, Elle?" ask Keanu in French.
"I want to find the wind" replied Autumn. He felt uneasy with the man's fixed gaze towards him. The brown-haired girl's eyes, occasionally glanced at the man who was still paying attention to her with a strange look. "I'll excuse you first" Autumn said. With a rash move, he passed leaving the two men who were both paying attention to his departure.
"Is Arum here?" asked the man who was none other than Moedya. He could recognize Autumn just by looking at the beautiful girl.
"No. Arum was still in France, only his daughter came here" Keanu replied. "How do you know if she's Arumi's daughter?" the father of two glanced at his close friend, who was still glued to the door leading to the backyard.
Moedya took a deep breath, then flung it down slowly. "Eitherway. When I first saw the girl, it felt like I was staring at your sister" she said, ending in a soft laugh. There is a kind of bitterness in the heart that is now beginning to tease. A long time passed, leaving behind memories of him and Arumi. Moedya no longer had to regret the decision she had taken. She is now past old age with Diana, the woman who gave her three children. Moedya also did not expect at first, if she would have a lasting household with the daughter of Ranum's best friend.
"What wind brought princess Arumi suddenly to come here?" moedya asked as she sat down with Keanu. His gaze was occasionally fixed on the door leading to the backyard.
"There is no specific reason. I know I'm only for the holidays. He's twenty-two now" Keanu said.
"Then it will be only a few years different from my firstborn" said Moedya as he took a slow breath. "I think Arum came here too" he said again.
"What do you want if he comes here?" asked Keanu who immediately looked suspicious.
Instead of being offended by Keanu's tone of question, the tattooed man laughed out loud. "Don't worry. I've completely wiped out Arum for good. My age is no longer young. Shame if you still do as good as heart. Now is the time to enjoy a quiet life," said Moedya who sounds now has changed a lot. Living a household life with Diana, has changed the way the man who used to love his long hair.
"Yes, you're right. We are lucky to be given a long life. It feels too dear if you continue to obey your passions. Marriage is the biggest dream in life. It takes hard work to keep it. In my opinion, having a whole family is an extraordinary achievement and more than a tender of any size" Keanu replied in response to Moedya's remarks. For a moment, the man halted their chatter as it appeared Autumn was back in. "Gelle!" call him to the girl who is going up the stairs, so he immediately turned his head when he heard the call from the uncle. "Come here" he asked.
With a somewhat doubtful look, Autumn walked over to the two men of Edgar's age. The gray-eyed girl stood up with a not-so-comfortable feeling. For a moment, Autumn glanced at Moedya who was looking at her with a spotlight that still felt strange to her, so she immediately turned her gaze to Keanu.
"Uncle wants to introduce someone to you," Keanu said, turning to Moedya. "He is Moedya. You can call him uncle."
"Can he speak Indonesian?" moedya asked as she glanced at Keanu.
"I don't master either of them" quipped Moedya who felt ridiculous. While Autumn only knit eyebrows, because they do not understand what they are talking about. "You look a lot like your mother" Moedya said again, stopping her laughter and looking at Autumn.
"You know my mother, sir?" ask Autumn.
"Don't be too formal. Most Indonesians rarely use the word master. So, just call uncle" said Moedya. "Your mother and I ... we ...." Moedya did not continue her words. However, Autumn seemed to understand. The girl smiled little

Meanwhile, deep in Paris at a luxurious residence, Benjamin looks uneasy. It had been two days now, he had tried to contact Autumn. However, the call was not connected. Many times the gray-eyed man had to send a message, but it was a pity that everything failed to be sent. "Where are you going, Elle?" benjamin muttered as he let out a rough breath.
Unnecessary, Benjamin then tries to call Edgar's number. He gathered all his courage and also put aside his shame. Benjamin knew that Edgar would definitely not care about anything related to him. However, the father of Fleur did not want to bother about it. Benjamin had no intention of retreating.
One missed call. "Already expected," murmured the copper-haired brunette man. She took a deep breath as if she was calming herself down. Again, the man tried to contact his future father-in-law. However, up to more than three calls made, it turned out to have no results at all.
Benjamin snorted in annoyance. He then walked out of the workroom. Coincidentally that day he would accompany Fleur to do therapy. With a face that did not look friendly, the owner of The Royal Royce stepped gallantly towards the living room, where Fleur was ready to wait for him. The little girl had already appeared beautiful with a floral dress covered in black stockings. Fleur also ties his long hair in a ponytail style. He smiled sweetly welcoming the presence of the father in the room. But Benjamin did not look like he always did.
"You ready, Fleur?" benjamin asked as he stood behind his daughter's wheelchair.
"Already," Fleur replied as he turned his head. The little gray-eyed girl knew that her father was not doing well.
Without saying much, Benjamin immediately pushed the child's wheelchair into the courtyard. He opened the car door and held Fleur. The little girl's seat, then she put a seatbelt on. He did all of this without talking at all. While Fleur also fell silent and felt uncomfortable. Actually he did not like to see the attitude of the father like that. However, Fleur did not dare to say anything.
Even on the way, Benjamin didn't say much. His gaze was straight ahead. He seemed to be holding back a great anger, but he could not vent.
