Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 401 - Maxime and Zabrina
...***...
The taxi they were riding stopped in front of a luxurious gate in an elite housing estate.
Lucy and Aland step out after paying the taxi driver with a few hundred thousand bills.
Aland looked up at the magnificent building behind the iron fence that covered his courtyard.
Nice house, he thought.
A man in black clothes walked up to the gate and opened it for them.
"Please come in, sir is waiting for you inside" said the man.
Aland frowned, not understanding the man's words. But it is different with Lucy who believes that the man let her in.
"Thank you" Lucy said as she stepped in with Aland trailing behind.
Lucy walks in a yard that is just enough to hold five to six cars. In the middle of the courtyard of his house, there is a large fountain with luxurious decoration.
"Liana!" Leon has been waiting for them since. He waved at the figure he saw.
Lucy and Aland turned their heads in unison, then stepped over to him.
Therehewas. He's the guy I saw in the picture, thought Aland, who kept walking with Lucy until he got to her.
"Finally you arrived too. Howwasyourjourney? Is it hard to find my home?"
"Not really, I've started trying to get used to learning to travel in Indonesia."
"That's what it looks like."
"Oh yeah. Meet, this is my partner, Aland." Lucy introduced Aland.
"I'm Leon." Leon reached out to her. Aland took his seat while introducing himself.
Lucy still doesn't want to talk to Aland, she's still upset about the man's words.
Arriving inside, Lucy sees a pair of adults who have been standing in the living room awaiting her arrival.
"Liana!" Maxime and Zabrina called out to him at the same time.
"Auntie, oncle." Lucy ran towards them and hugged him tightly.
"We miss you so much." Zabrina hugged him tightly, even Maxime.
"I miss you too" Lucy replied with a smile.
Aland was still stunned, he did not expect that Lucy was more familiar with them than he expected.
How could they get along so quickly? his inner.
"How are you?" Zabrina and Maxime broke their arms and looked at their only niece.
"My news is good, as you can see." Lucy smiled knot.
"Oncle and Aunt have heard everything that happened to your dad and mom. Oncle is truly sorry for their passing. The Oncle didn't even expect that they would leave so soon." Maxime nearly cries remembering his older brother Theodore with his sister-in-law Caroline who died in an accident.
"Why didn't you tell the oncle and aunt earlier?" Zabrina looked at Lucy with teary eyes.
Lucy looked down with a sad face. "I don't know how to get in touch with you guys, because we've been out of contact since grandpa and grandma died." Lucy replied softly.
"Next time, we'll visit London to visit the graves of your parents."
"Come, you will always accept me. Because you're the only family I have" Lucy murmured.
"You also don't have to be confused. If you need anything, tell the oncle. If you want, you can stay here with us. Let us take care of you" Maxime told Lucy.
