The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Bern 90's

"See wait a minute!"

Renata who was busy in the kitchen rushed towards the door as the apartment bell rang. Before opening it, he looked through the monitor screen to make sure it wasn't the bad guys who came to see him.

"Mom!" justin cried as soon as his father's door opened. Soon she hugged both of her mother's legs full of longing. "Mother, Justin misses a lot."

"Mom misses you too, baby" Renata said, wiping Justin's head. After that she crouched down and grabbed Justin's small body into his arms. "I'm sorry because today I can't accompany Justin to school. Justin's not mad, is he?"

"No. Grandpa Gabrielle, Grandma Elea and Aunt Flow are taking Justin to school. So Justin's not lonely,"

"It's so good Mom's son. At school Justin naughty no?"

Justin shook his head. He kissed his mother's entire face.

"Not really naughty, hm?"

"Yes, Mother. And Miss gave one star to Justin. He said it was a gift because Justin was being nice in class."

Renata's eyebrows intertwine once he learns that his son has one star. What's the matter? Tumben is not a five-star. What the hell's going on?

"Mom, where's Dad. Justin wants to invite Dad to play," asked Justin began to whine.

"Now I am busy working. Justin, don't bother me first, will you?"

"Yahhhh, but I promised to invite Justin to play,"

"Yes, I know. Emmm better now Justin comes in and changes first. Only then can Justin see Dad. Okay?"

"Okay, Mommy."

Gabrielle, Elea, and Flowrence smile at the familiarity between mother and child. Very heart warming.

"Uncle, Aunt, Flow. Let's enter. I happen to be cooking. Lunch is here, right?" said Renata invited Bern's family to enter the house.

"Are we not interrupting your time with Bern?" elea asked half a sigh.

"Of course not, Auntie. Bern would be happy to know you're here,"

"really?"

"You are his family. Don't hesitate. Yea?"

"Well if you force."

Renata prevents her father-in-law from pushing Flow's wheelchair. He asks them to go in with Justin and replace to encourage his sister-in-law.

"Thank you very much, brother-in-law. Sorry to bother you," Flow said as he arrived inside.

"Absolutely not, Flow. I'm even glad to be able to help you," Renata said as she stared at Flowrence's bead. His chest suddenly thumped strongly.

(Sound. Why do I feel like I ever made a deal with Flowrence huh? Didn't we know each other all this time? Where did this feeling come from?)

Gabrielle immediately stared alternately at Flow and Renata who were deep in their thoughts as soon as she heard what her ex-prospective was thinking. Her mind went back to wondering about what really happened to these two women three years ago. Gabrielle's sure. There must have been a missed incident before Flow and Renata both lost their memories.

"Darling, what's wrong?" elea asked as she gently rubbed Gabrielle's back. She was confused to see her husband who suddenly daydreamed for no reason.

"T-no. There's nothing" said Gabrielle. She was shocked when Elea touched her. Instantly, his daydream was broken.

"If there's nothing why are you daydreaming?"

"Later at home I'll tell you what I think. Okay?"

"Umm okay."

"Justin where?"

"She went to disturb her father" Elea replied with a soft chuckle. "Cio's desire is truly accomplished. Bern is now working on him."

"B*the son of a bitch must be very happy" Gabrielle said, shaking her head.

"Just let. Maybe this way Bern and Karl's relationship can stay awake. You don't mind if Bern doesn't join Group Ma?"

"Of course not. Junio's company is a joint venture of yours and Patricia's. There are rights for our children as well. So let's just say Bern is monitoring our family's assets. Aye, right?"

Meanwhile, in another room, Bern was playing horses with Justin. Still in school uniform, Justin was happily sitting on his father's back. The sound of laughter made the entire room very crowded. And it made Bern's mood improve again after being upset by Kimberly's actions.

"Dad, Justin is tired" Justin said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. The temperature of the room does not make it cool.

"Tired?" ask Bern.

"Yes, Dad. Let's sit down."

"All right,"

With great care Bern held Justin as he was about to get off his back. After that he helped take off Justin's uniform and shoes and then brought him some water to drink.

"Ekhmm-ekhmmm, may I join no?"

Gabrielle and Flowrence smiled happily as Bern allowed them to join. Since then they stood in front of the door watching the scene of the horses performed by this pair of father and son.

"Where's mom, Flow?" bern asked when he could not find his mother.

"Mother is helping sister-in-law in the kitchen, sister," replied Flow. "Sister-in-law asked us to have lunch here. You mind not?"

"We're family. What makes objections?"

"Who knew you wanted to spend time with Justin and brother-in-law."

"Together you must also. As long as it can please your sister-in-law, then I will do everything."

"Hmmm, how romantic. So envious,"

"Oliver will do the same for you. You guys are still in touch, right?"

Flow shook his head quickly.

"There's no connection whatsoever between me and Oliver. Russell, Brother. He's my lover now."

Bern was silent. The tail of his eyes glanced at the father who was like giving a code so that he did not continue the conversation. Until this second Bern still does not know the exact cause why Oliver's position can be replaced by Russell. Clearly Flow and Oliver have been betrothed ever since they were still embryos inside the stomachs of their respective mothers. Why can it change? How strange.

"Sister, Justin's teacher said today he wasn't focused in class. You and your brother-in-law have to rearrange their rest schedules" Flow told the sister about what happened to her nephew.

"really?" Bern immediately stroked the hair of Justin who was exhausted after playing. "Others what was said by him?"

"The father who spoke with Justin's teacher earlier."

"Flow's right, Bern. Today Justin is a little troubled in his class" Gabrielle added, staring affectionately at her granddaughter. "You and Renata should pay more attention to it. Don't take him out too often."

"Good, Dad. Later I will discuss this matter with Renata" said Bern.

"Yes, Bern. The plan is later where you're going to hold Justin's birthday party?"

"I'm following what Renata said. No matter where it doesn't matter as long as it makes my son and wife comfortable."

"At Grandpa Max's house, Dad. Max's grandfather said Justin could open a dinosaur farm there. Yea?" justin suddenly overhears a conversation between his father and grandfather. His eyes seemed to sparkle when he mentioned his desire to open a dinosaur farm. How much he will have toys.

"Justin wants it there?" ask Bern gaunt.

"Yes, Dad. Can, right?"

"Of course it's okay."

"Yeyyy, Justin's father is the best!" justin's cheer up.

"Then how was Grandpa?" Gabrielle protested.

"Gabrielle's grandfather is also the best."

"What about Aunt Flow?" Flowrence protested.

"Auntie is the best. But later Aunt brought a lot of snacks for Justin huh?"

"Ready, boss."

Bern and Gabrielle laughed funnyly at Justin who was like a misbehavior after asking for a snack from his aunt. This kid is adorable. Really am.
