The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Bern 57's

"Yes Dad, Mom. I forgot to tell you that by the end of the month Justin will have his third birthday. If you can, please find a small gift for her. Justin loves raising dinosaurs. Maybe you can buy him a toy" Bern said shortly before getting into the car.

"Refrigerant dinosaur?"

Elea and Flow laughed. There was just the behavior of his grandson. As for Gabrielle, she seemed to be frowning. As Gabrielle remembers, none of her two sons have a bad hobby, but why does her grandson stray? What is this called cross-marriage?

"Yes, Mommy. I could have bought all those toys for him. But Renata forbade not to spoil our son too much. The price is not much. Hmmm,"

"Yes, let us buy him for Justin. Don't worry" said Gabrielle eagerly. Her first grandchild was male. It was certain that the Ma family already had a new successor. Gabrielle should spoil him. Hehe.

"Yes, then I'll go first. Justin is coming home from school soon. He could cry if Renata and I had picked him up" Bern said.

"Emm Bern, may I ask you a question?"

Elea walked closer. The look implies such a great hope.

"Please, Mother."

"Can't you go see Justin and Renata?"

"I think it's best not to first. I'm afraid they're uncomfortable. Please do I understand?"

"Oh, so. Yes it's okay. I'll wait for you to bring them to this house. But not for long, Bern. I can't wait to see my granddaughter and future daughter-in-law soon" said Elea, trying not to show her disappointment.

Honey, it looks like Bern still wants to keep his distance from us. He didn't seem to allow me to interfere in his personal matters. So sad.

Gabrielle who heard Elea's thoughts could only sigh deeply. How else. He was also sad, but much better like this just now. It's been very fortunate that Bern was willing to go home and talk to them. Gabrielle didn't dare to talk to him. Fear offended. Everything needs a process because what happened three years ago is enough to scratch the heart of his son.

"Mom, I'll go first. Fear of the streets jammed," said Bern began to fidget when the mother said she wanted to see Justin and Renata early. There was a kind of anxiety appearing in his heart. Bern panic.

"Yes, you're gone. Be careful, yes" said Elea. He tried to be ordinary even though he was very aware of something wrong with his son's attitude.

Immediately Bern got into the car and then drove away from there after saying goodbye to the mother. Flow, who saw her brother leave in a hurry, was astonished. He decided to ask his parents.

"Dad, Mother. Why does Bern look like a panicked person? He was also in a hurry. Weird huh?"

"Your brother was just worrying too much about his son, Flow. There was nothing wrong with her attitude just now" Elea answered covering up the truth. She doesn't want Flow to think about her brother. "Now let's just go in yuk. I'm tired, I want to rest a little."

"Good, Mother. Come on!"

Meanwhile, in the car, Bern, who is constantly stricken with panic, decides to contact Renata. I don't know, he doesn't understand himself right now. It was easy for Bern to feel fear and panic whenever it occurred to him that someone wanted to take his child and future wife away from him. Weird, right?

"Hello, Bern. What's up?"

Renata's soft voice seemed to dampen Bern's anxiety as soon as he answered the call. Relieved, that's what Bern feels. With a small smile, Bern told Renata that he was on his way to the flower shop.

"Gosh, I almost forgot. At the store with a lot of orders, I can't remember if Justin is out of class soon. Then I turn off the call first. I need to get ready so that later when you get here we can go straight to Justin's school. Is that okay, Bern?"

"Yes it's okay. Yes, you just turn off this call. Don't dress too pretty. I don't like you being the center of people's attention" said Bern, without hesitation, showing his jealousy.

"Hmm, you're this. Yes, I won't dress up."

Bern's feelings instantly erupted as Renata obediently followed his words. While humming a little, Bern continued to drive the car towards the store. Because the road was running, it didn't take long for Bern to get there. But not yet Bern parked his car, seven cars suddenly crowded into the flower shop owned by Renata.

"Who are they?" bern muttered astonished. Fearing they were a horde of bad guys, he parked the origin of his car and then raced after the men.

Renata who was busy serving buyers looked shocked when his shop was swarmed by a group of women who had a fight with Bern this morning. He panicked for a moment.

"Hey you're a disgrace-bearer. Quickly take responsibility. Because of your man's actions now my family is threatened to become homeless. Let's hurry up the responsibility or we'll burn down your ugly flower shop!" shouted one of the women with a ferocious voice.

"What do you mean, madam? I ... I didn't do anything to you. And my man, I mean his father Justin didn't do anything after we left. Please don't sow slander!" sahut Renata was shocked to hear the woman's words.

"Here, don't act like you're a fool. Basic don't know yourself. Having given birth to a child without a husband is shameless. Let's just bust this flower shop!"

Braakkkk

"When you dare touch the flowers in my wife's shop, I swear I'll cut off your hands this very second. Try it if you don't believe it!" threatening Bern while staring nyalang at a group of women who turned out to be bully his son and wife. Bern then walked quickly to Renata and then cupped his face. "Darling, you're okay, right? They hurt you, didn't they?"

"No, Bern. I'm doing fine. But they ....

Bern's gaze darkened. "Don't mind the rubbish. They let me clean up!"

"Bern, this isn't what I meant. All problems can be solved in a good way. Think about the impact Justin will receive if you act without thinking first. The calm. Don't upset. Okay?" persuade Renata not to let Bern be controlled by his anger.

"They're insulting you again, baby. My chest hurts hearing it!"

"Yes I know, but that doesn't mean we have to repay him in a bad way either!"

"Hey you guys are a disgusting couple. You guys don't even know yourself like this. We all came to hold you accountable. Because of the excitement this morning now our fate and future are all in grave danger. Anyway I don't want to know. Apologize quickly and withdraw all claims that you have submitted. NOW!"

The blood on Bern's body boiled even more after hearing the scream. Unable to bear it, Bern intended to tear the woman's mouth apart. But only then will he turn around, Renata already kissed him first. This made Bern stiff for a moment. The feeling flew somewhere.

"Wait here. Let me talk to them,"

The buffalo that had his nose plugged, Bern could only nod obediently at Anaya's words. He did not budge from where he was standing now. Too shocked, too happy.

Renata kissed me. I'm not dreaming, am I?
