Adagio |Risk Of Life|
The Adagio 40
Hyuji's gaze was fixed on the two people who were currently on one side of Joana's house. John and Elliotte get along, they are farming while Hyuji and Joana are talking together.
The sky turned orange, and it might soon be dark in the next few minutes. Until Hyuji's smile expands perfectly when John rubs Elli's head with a smile review that he has always liked. It would be a lie if Hyuji just forgot about John after everything he had passed with the young man. But reality again slapped him hard until he was carried back into the stream of consciousness. Today is different from before. If he could ignore anything for John's sake, now it would be impossible. John is his brother.
Maybe I'm too big a head, John's a guy who gets along easily with anyone.
As Hyuji dissolved into his own thoughts, someone patted him on the shoulder slowly, making Hyuji's entire attention diverted to the figure now standing by his side.
“Elli jolly girl!” he broke the silence.
Hyuji smiled warmly, pulling up the thick knitting clothes he was wearing while returning to look at John and Elli who were still busy planting in the small yard behind the family's home .
“Yes, he's a kid who was raised well by an old grandmother who lived a kara!” he replied with a slightly puffed up chest in pride as he recalled the old figure that grabbed him when he slumped.
Joana had squinted her eyes to look, she did not know if Elli was an orphan.
“Where are his parents?”
With little hesitation Hyuji replied, “Both would not acknowledge Elli, left her in front of an old, uninhabited building, then grandma found her.”
Pity arises from Joana's expression, she looked at John who was beside the girl named Elliotte with a haggard look and a slightly relieved heart. He thought his son was the only one who was less fortunate, but in fact there were still many who were more unlucky than the son.
“I think, John was less fortunate with the reality that he had to shoulder like a burden. I close my eyes, not even looking at the fact that there are still many more unlucky than him!” he said softly, with a small smile that just appeared on his lips.
Hyuji humbled, he knew how hurt a woman's heart, especially when the man he loved left her just like that.
“Mother is a great woman!”
Joana smiled wider. She grabs Hyuji into her warm embrace at the end of the fall of this year. As well as Hyuji, he returned Joana's embrace by wrapping his hands around the middle-aged woman's waist.
“You are so much better than me! And you are my precious daughter. So, hang on to the harsh and cruel life you're living. Believe me, if God will not give a trial that is heavier than the ability of His people!”
...***...
Hyuji's arid gaze was so sad. John even wanted to embrace and embrace him so that the heavy burden that was wrapped around his sister's shoulders became a little light.
“Noona stay here with me and mom.”
Hyuji took a faint breath, then turned his face to look at John who was beside him.
“Elli is my responsibility, and I can't just leave her!” hyuji replied firmly, but it did not detract from the tenderness of Song Hyuji's figure.
The sky is completely dark, so many decorations resemble small bright dots make the night look so beautiful.
John nodded in understanding, at least the reason Hyuji did make sense. He owes a debt of gratitude to the woman who helped him two years ago.
”I have one request of you, John.”
“You need not worry, my help request is still in reasonable context!” hyuji continued with a claw that made John pull both ends of his lips to form a laugh.
“Alright, say!”
Maybe this will be the final choice for Hyuji. Not to end, or break the family thread, but Hyuji wants everything to be clear, ending up without hurting anyone.
Tight, yet he wanted his decision this time to be right.
“Please help me to meet papa!”
John was surprised, both of his manics perfectly patterned.
“For what? Noona's brothers will definitely forbid you from meeting!”
”That's why I asked for your help!”
John bowed, momentarily thinking about what he would do to Hyuji's request this time. Then John nodded faintly, smiling gently at Hyuji.
”Alright,” Manik the two meet again until John feels his palm is gently crept, “I will contact dad and ask him to meet with Noona!”
“Thank you, John! You are the best.”
...***...
John turned his phone around a few times on his desk. Two different sides in him are fighting to win one thing which is none other than calling his own father's number, Song Minju.
A very difficult promise to keep, John felt his decision to confirm Hyuji's request this time was not right. The burden seemed to just fall on both shoulders, he did not want to be in touch with the man who had disappointed his mother, but Hyuji's request again could not be refused, he said, it is as if something is absolute and must be done.
And on the third note, the voice of someone who really did not want to be heard by John was excited. His voice trembled slightly when he mentioned John's name.
“How are you.... Nak?”
John was filled with excitement, he was even flabbergasted when he heard the last word Minju said. Son, the call that so expected John since knowing what and who is the figure of the father. Lying if his heart does not warm up, John was eager to hear the name thrown by his father for him. But his heart must be inversely proportional to his body.
”Mr Song, your daughter, Song Hyuji, would like to meet you!” john without further ado. He also did not want to dissolve with his feelings that had suddenly turned weak.
“Hyuji? Where is she, is she with you now?”
“No! I'll send you an address where you can meet!”
John just wanted to shorten the conversation, he was even about to end his phone call just like that if Song Minju did not call out his name again.
“Nak, I mean John,” Song Minju paused, his voice raucous with a roaring vibe. “Please tell Hyuji, I can't wait to meet you! I miss him so much!”[]
