The Shadow of Love Polwan

early happiness

a week has passed.

Bert, who visited the middle-aged woman's house almost every day, did not allow the old woman to work to sell newspapers anymore.

Bert, who had a very good heart, told some of his men to take care of the prince and the woman, the maid and the personal doctor who Bert paid for the two women.

I don't know if his heart could not bear to see the two women feel sadness.

sitting on the edge of the bed, Cilla looked at the slumbering little girl hugging a huge panda doll, a gift from Bert.

"my prince I'm strong, you were born without knowing who your parents are and now the one who takes care of you, the one you think her grandmother is in a terrible pain fighting her illness".

Yep, the old woman has terminal lung cancer, which allows her life is not long anymore.

ready to know the age, Bert who tried hard to persuade the old woman to be taken to the hospital but even in a raw push.

"why don't you want to go to the hospital, don't you want to recover from seeing your granddaughter grow up" asked Bert holding the middle-aged woman's hand.

"that's enough of your kindness all along, son, I can't keep up with your will, when I'm almost there, when I'm gone, please take care of Cilla she doesn't have anyone but you, you're the perfect man to give her affection and feel what it's affection from a father she never got, please take care of him" said the woman with tears that could not be held.

"don't talk like that buk, I will do anything, tomorrow morning I will take you to the hospital" Bert asserted as he left the old woman.

bert who knows Cilla is not the granddaughter of the old woman is nini buk.

in the past when the night was pitch black no one came out on that day, buk Nini who had often coughed. He went out of the room to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

when he reached the kitchen, he heard a knock on the door from the outside, looking at the clock at 2 in the morning, which man wanted to visit, he said, ignoring the knock on the door came the sound of baby crying outside the door.

"okk, oekk"

the sound of crying that echoed made Nini's buk ventured to come out, how shocked it was to find a baby and a bag containing baby clothes, wrapped in a light pink cloth, looking around to see which mother would throw her own child away,

due to the cold weather, Nini immediately brought the baby in and checked if there was anything in the bag.

buk Nini gets a letter and necklace that says the name is Cilla.

the letter contains.

*Sorry mommy son, mommy has failed to be a good mother for you, but mommy promises someday mommy will pick you up mommy loves you very much son, believe me mommy does not regret your presence,

dear lady, I'm sorry to have been so presumptuous and troublesome to you, because of a career for my future and my daughter's later I'm taking this step,,

please take care of him, I'm sorry I*.

thanks though.

"it turns out your name is Cilla, you are very beautiful baby, from now on you are my grandson" said Buk Nini happily.

now she no longer feels lonely because of her husband who is gone, and her children have gone far no matter the circumstances anymore.

"Al" cried Loren who was sitting leisurely while reading a magazine.

"sit down" Dalbert told his son.

"can it start?" ask the uncomfortable Cici just now.

"be patient I am waiting for his presence" replied Al casually as he sipped his warm coffee.

they all still did not understand Al's intentions.

"Cici, can I ask you a question?" ask Al politely.

"do you love me?"

"please answer me honestly, there are no more lies enough that all, hopefully from this question we become as before" continued Al who is still faithful staring at the chirp that just flinch.

Slowly Cici nodded.

trying to accept this fact, Al can still control himself.Cell who is beside Al grasps tightly the hands of the man who has been sweating coldly, Al stared at the cel by publishing his fake smile and returning the grip.

"huh, I already know the answer. So I gathered you all together to let you know that my engagement and Cici's is off, from now on Cici and I have nothing to do, there is no bond other than friendship maybe he will be my brother-in-law later" explained Al who is very calm to convey it all.
