Angel was fixated on the simple little house that was in front of her eyes. He looked at Luke once and then back at the house in front of him.
"Uncle, why are we here? Let's go home,"
Angel nicely pulls Luke's hand towards the fence. But Luke held Angel's hand gently.
"Angel, what do you mean? This is uncle's house."
Stupefied. Angel could not move. His eyes looked at Luke's bead. Looking for honesty there. "Don't joke. I know where uncle's house is. Let's go home,"
Luke laughed out loud. "Uncle is not kidding. It's no longer the same with Angel. Everything is different."
"Uncle, I don't understand what you mean," laughed faintly, Angel felt all like a joke in her eyes. "Can uncle be a little serious? I miss auntie,"
Luke quiet. He doesn't know where to start. Waiting for Luke to speak, Angel looked at the house before him once more. The house is small, very small if juxtaposed with the main house. Or his uncle's house two years ago. He remembered that his uncle's house was quite large. Two-story with modern minimalist design. With a slick old-fashioned European style.
But now his uncle seems to have trouble telling him. What the hell's been going on? Why doesn't he know anything? The small house in front of him was only small. Very simple and far from a decent word. He did not understand why his uncle could live in a place like this.
"Darling you've come home? Why don't you ma-"
Angel's gaze was glued when she saw a beautiful woman just coming out of the house. At his feet, a small hand that was tightly hugging the woman's legs. Angel's heart was blown away unconsciously.
"A-Angel," the woman sizzled. There were deep longing ripples in his eyes. Until the puddle of tears came out and stuck in the eyes.
"Tante" said Angel slowly. He glanced at Luke once more before finally stepping into the small courtyard to arrive at the front of the house.
Cealine Anderson, the beautiful woman could only freeze when suddenly Angel hugged her body tightly. The three-year-old girl who hugged her legs raised and anchored in Luke's arms. They saw how the two people before him were hugging each other and shedding longing.
Nothing said, five minutes as long as they hugged. Until Cealine let go of her embrace with two hands cupped in Angel's soft face.
"The lucky girl. You survived. You're conscious after a long coma. Why are you so naughty? Why did you become a rebellious girl?"
There were tears flowing as the words full of breadfruit were spoken. Angel couldn't hold back her feelings until she just nodded many times. He hugged Cealine once more and spilled his longing. And his guilt too. Luke was so moved he almost shed tears.
Five minutes later, Angel literally went into the small, cramped house. He sat down at the dining table and looked at the little girl who was staring at him unblinkingly. His hands are soft. She smiled very sweetly.
"Alysia, you must be in trouble. Good thing you can grow up so healthy. I was so useless that I left my niece abandoned. Uncle I'm sorry,"
Alysia, the little girl laughed timidly. He seems to like Angel even though he is not used to it.
"Stop, you have to eat first. You're so skinny" Cealine broke up to stop Luke from speaking.
Luke smiled and nodded. "Uncle will tell you everything later. Now, we'll have dinner first,"
For the first time, after her birth, Angel felt like she had a caring family. For some reason she suddenly felt like Xin Narra always had a happy family. Thinking about it, his longing for his two masters who were in China was stirring.
"Uncle, tell me everything. Why do uncle and aunt end up here? This house, it's so small. Then I see you guys having trouble,"
Cealine looked at Luke once. His eyes winked gently at the sign of agreement. Make Luke take a deep breath and exhale slowly.
"Angel, it all started two years ago. When you sued our family and put Neandro in jail. Either way, from where we started, the Neandro business went bankrupt and everything we had disappeared."
Angel stunned. He squeezed his own hand with great guilt. He cursed himself because as Xin Narra, he couldn't help but curse at Angel's mistakes. He condemned the decision of the owner of the body who could not act properly. He berated the stupidity of Angel who is not too stupid and easy to use.
"You're right. At the moment we are in trouble" Cealine said honestly. He hugged Alysia in the clench of his hand. There was a sad tone in his words but the greatness of his heart with all the greater reality.
"But, uncle is a doctor. And Uncle-"'s salary"
"I don't get a salary, Angel."
Like lightning, Angel opened her eyes wide as Luke's honesty followed. His face was pias with an indisputable guilt.
"Uncle, I-I"
"It's not your fault" cut Luke quickly. "Do you really not know that the hospital has frozen my pay?"
Angel shakes. His hand on his own finger grew stronger. He looked at his uncle and aunt in confusion.
"Your uncle, Alex, has issued an order. And you signed it."
Silent! Angel can't say anything even his whole body feels weak to move. He can't remember when that was. When did he sign all the documents that made his uncle's life suffer.
"Uncle, when did I sign it? When I-"
"When you're done suing Neandro. Your uncle said you wanted us out of the country. I begged your uncle because I couldn't leave Neandro alone. Even though his prison term is long, we can't leave him."
"My uncle? You guys begging Uncle Alex? And in exchange he gave a job but froze uncle's salary. Is it like that?" raba Angel lirih's. He did not even dare to raise his face to look at the three people before him. It feels too shameful and wrong.
Luke nodded. "You're right."
Hearing that Angel laughed. "Well, Angel, what mistakes have you made in the past? Why are you so stupid and blind?"
Hearing that Cealine shook her head. "Angel, we never blame your decision. But, we feel that Neandro really didn't kill your parents. Why would he do that? He loves you so much, remember?"
Angel nodded. His heart was like a sharp pointed thorn. "Uncle, I think two years ago I became a very stupid girl. I can't even tell the difference between a lie and a trap. Uncle, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I-i-"
"No, it's not your fault." cut Cealine gently. He clearly saw the nephew panicking from the intense guilt.
Sensing her tantric humility, Angel lowered her head. He doesn't even know what to say. But he's not stupid. He's Xin Narra. He knew what he had to do as an Angel in this life. And this time he had to fix everything from here.
