The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Bern 96's

"Please enter!" bern said allowing both candidates-in-law to enter first. They are now in the apartment.

"Hmm, Justin is very comfortable staying here. It turns out that your apartment is very spacious, Bern," said Nandira while paying attention to the apartment room occupied by his former candidate. Very broad, so it can be used to play the ball though.

"The project of making this apartment is me in the lead. I deliberately make the living room as wide as possible in the hope that the children of the residents of this apartment have the flexibility to play. And now it's very useful to me. Justin can play as much here without having to feel constriction."

A big smile immediately rose on Justin's lips as soon as he heard his father's words. He thought the house was made especially for him.

"Why smile, hm? Something funny what how?" asked Renata worried about her son's behavior.

"Justin is so happy, Mother. Father is very kind," Justin replied with a sparkling look.

"Well, how does that mean?"

"That's what it was. Dad said that this house was made for Justin. So Justin can run here and there with satisfaction. Justin's father is the greatest!"

Renata laughs. Apparently Justin has misinterpreted Bern's remarks. Basic children. His mind is so innocent.

"Mom, are Grandpa and Grandma going to stay at Daddy's?" justin asked curiously.

"If so, why? Can't you?" prank Max. He then pretended to sulk.

"Emm can do it. Justin's father's house is huge. Grandpa and Grandma will sleep here,"

Justin's tiny finger pointed to one of the most spacious corners of the living room. He then frowned as a shadow flashed by the window.

"Granny Zhu!"

Greepp

With a very fast movement Bern immediately caught Justin who was about to run towards the window. After that, he grabbed her and took her away. Bern's chest was pounding so strongly. Grandma Zhu again?

"Dad, let's put Justin down first. There was Grandma Zhu. Pity if not in!" justin said as he thrashed to escape.

"Darling, it's dangerous for a child to stand by a window. There's nothing in there anyway. You may be wrong to see people" said Renata, shocked to see Justin suddenly running towards a window outside which there is no guardrail. Not nothing, but the repairman has not finished fixing it.

"But Grandma Zhu is still there, Mom. Poor thing," whined Justin as he continued to point towards the window.

"Who is Zhu's grandmother?"

Curious, Nandira decided to ask. This name was mentioned by Justin several times. However, Nandira considers it as a child's babble that may be carried away by the story in a film he watched. But now ...the identity of that Grandma Zhu did not seem to be as simple as she had expected.

"Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. Most likely what Justin saw was my grandmother's spirit. Her name is Liona Serra Zhu. Justin was his first great-grandson. Maybe he just came to see it" said Bern calmly.

"Oh, the late Lady Liona huh. Hm,"

"Why is that?"

"It's okay. It's perfectly natural for a great-grandmother to come see her great-grandmother."

Renata frowned. Where did the great-grandson language Bern and his mother come from? Justin is not part of the Ma family. His great-grandmother Bern was not related to Justin. But why is this? Could there be a secret he didn't know?

(The longer I've known Bern, the more I feel like there's a big secret everyone is hiding from me. And also Justin. Why was he able to see the spirit of Madame Liona who clearly had no attachment whatsoever to her? It's freaky. Looks like I need to investigate something about this matter. Yeah, I gotta do it)

"Dad, Justin's birthday is at Dad's house. Grandma Zhu says it's safer here" Justin said, instantly changing his mood. He no longer whines asking to go to the window.

"Why is it here?" asked Bern in wonder.

"Because it's very broad here. So Justin and Dad could raise dinosaurs. I see,"

Justin shook. He then waved at the wall that no one was there. Witnessing the awkwardness, everyone's hair was made to bristle. Just imagine. Justin could see, even speak with an invisible figure. Who doesn't try.

"Emm Bern, I'll borrow your kitchen for a second. You all must be thirsty" said Renata saying she wanted to make a drink.

"Don't say that. Everything here is yours too. Understood?" sahut Bern disliked when Renata asked for permission to use the kitchen.

"Yes sorry. Yeah, I've been back a minute."

"Be careful,"

Renata nodded. After rubbing Justin's hair, he stepped into the kitchen. There Renata makes drinks while daydreaming some things that are quite disturbing to the mind.

"Am I just asking Flow who Amora is. He must know who that girl is. Yeah, well, I better start finding out from Flowrence. I'll ask another brother of Bern. I hope they work together."

Meanwhile, in the living room, Justin was the center of attention for unceasingly prancing the pleasure of seeing the guard bring the gift that had been left at his home.

"Yeyyy, Justin's gift has arrived. Let's open it, Dad!" justin shouted to himself.

"Open up with Grandma, baby?" nandira. He was very anxious to see the attitude of his grandson who did not want to be silent.

"alright. Don't be mad, okay?"

"No, Son." Bern laughs. A second after Justin was busy opening the gift box with his grandmother, Bern's expression immediately turned serious. He then shifted to next to his father Renata. "Uncle, the gift that was sent to Justin contained explosives. And the sender was a woman who had hurt Justin at that time. This woman did not accept divorce by her husband due to being caught bullying the Ma family's successor. So he's intent on getting revenge by killing Justin and Renata."

Max's mouth immediately gaped wide with both eyes widened once Bern told him about the gift sent by a mysterious person to his granddaughter. Really, it's kind of out of logic. How could anyone do this cruel thing to a child?

"Uncle don't worry. The woman was cleared up by Karl. But for fear of further terror, it's good that you all stay here for a while. Wait till we make sure it's safe, you can just go back home. You don't mind, do you?"

"Bern, this is you're not talking nonsense, are you?" ask Max to make sure. This fact is too hard to believe. Really am.

"Do you think Justin and Renata's life is something that can be considered a game?" sahut Bern asked.

"No, that's not what it means. Holy jeez!" max replied as he rubbed his face until it turned red. "Explosers? Justin is not even three years old. So how could anyone want to kill him in such a cruel way? Is it possible that the culprit is part of ter*ris?"

"The culprit is a row of heartbroken people. The woman was heartbroken at her own mistakes. But because his brain was shallow, he made all of you a target. Remember, all of you. No exception!"

Bern's seriousness was shifted when he heard Justin's screeching sound as soon as he saw there were a lot of toys in the gift box. Bern smile. Relieved that his son survived a terrible death.

"Uncle Max, there's one more thing I want to tell you!"

"What's that?"

Max is worried. I don't know what bad news he'll hear. It made his heart beat so hard.

"One of the servants who worked in your house was paid by that woman to be a spy. That was why he was able to read the situation exactly where the gift had just been sent while you were all at home!" bern said while taking a deep breath. "If allowed, I'll check on each person who works at your house. This I do for the sake of keeping all of you safe. Especially the safety of my wife and children!"

"Speek-a-pye? In my house?"

"Yes. And now the servant is in the hands of Karl's men."

"My servants became spies?"

Bern. He then nodded. "Someone once said that the safest place to hide from the enemy is near the opponent. This fact teaches us that the first people we should be aware of are the ones whose existence is closest to us. One of them is a waiter. They are the most powerful hidden CCTV used to search for our weaknesses. Remember this well!"
