ANGEL IN NEW DRESS
CHAPTERS 14. BACK HOME

Tonight Anneke wants to enjoy a comfortable night as herself. Yeah, just himself in his new life. After getting dressed and walking out of the room, she began dragging her suitcases out of her house to the parking lot below. Fortunately, he did not park his car far from the elevator.

One by one he put his suitcase into his car, after making sure everything was in the car and there were no more items left behind. He got into the car and drove his car across the street to the Runako residence. When she was outside the condominium complex, Anneke looked back to look at her for the last time.

While at the Runako residence tonight the news of Noah Arsenio's return has been heard by Liam's grandfather and his son Alfred. They were in the living room enjoying a warm tea with each holding something in his hand. Of course, one holds the newspaper and the other holds the important reports of the company.

The two were silent for a while and focused on what was in their hands. Over time one of them finally could not bear to not talk anymore. “Al! Did Anneke call you?” ask Liam's grandfather to his son while showing the news to the newspaper today. News about Noah Killian Arsenio who became Trending News!

True, the news is the most popular news today covering the return of Noah Arsenio covered by various media. “Not yet father.” replied Alfred while continuing to check the report in his hands. At first glance he glanced at the newspaper without knowing his father who had been filled with gray hair on his head.

Hearing that answer, Grandpa Liam clucked violently. How could Anneke not contact Alfred Runako? She really did not understand the behavior of her granddaughter who had gone two years with her husband without ever giving any news to them. It was as if Anneke had forgotten her family.

“Anne this is really outrageous! Ever since I got married, she never saw me. And now he and Noah did not tell him of his arrival in this country at all. Truly a disobedient grandson!” Grandfather Liam vented all his frustration at feeling neglected by his favorite grandson. “Before later if he comes, I will punish him!”

“Dad, stop. Aren't you the one who forced Anneke to get married quickly? From the beginning I have refused but my father was too imposing a will.” said Alfred, while putting a file in his hand on the table and looking at his father sharply. As if to remind his father of that overly forced arranged marriage.

“Al.....why are you still having this problem? I knew his grandfather Noah Arsenio for a very long time.” he said to Alfred's words. “You will never understand how our friendship was during the war. And blah,,,,bla...bla...bla Grandpa Liam kept talking about his memories in the war days.

That's how Grandpa Liam tells it, the experience with his best friend Galen Arsenio is so horrendous that Alfred was made dizzy to hear it.

“Dad, please stop. You have told me that repeatedly.” said Alfred wants to stop the long history of friendship between the two old men.

That was what caused his son to marry a stranger who was famous for his cold attitude. Despite that, Alfred Runako did not have the power to stop him!

“Alfred, call your son tomorrow. Ask her to come here with her husband. Aren't they both in this country? So there is no reason for them not to visit us.”

“I don't want to!” alfred replied to his father as he stood up from his seat and left the old man who looked so upset. Alfred looked back and saw the sadness that was implied in the old eyes. Nah! Not only was Grandpa Liam alone, he also missed his only daughter who had not contacted him for so long.

Was his daughter too happy to remember her parents? Alfred kept his feet going to his bedroom and closed the door. While outside there was a roar of vehicles that had just entered the Runako residence. Grandpa Liam who was still sitting in the guest room scrunched his forehead.

Who comes this night to his house? If it's a guest, then that guest is very disrespectful to come visit these nights. In front of the entrance stopped a shiny white BMW M6 Cabrio and before long a beautiful girl came down. The main door opened and a waiter came out to see who was coming in these nights.

“Big Master. In front of there is Miss Anneke.” has not had time Grandpa Liam responded to already heard footsteps entering his house. He looked up and smiled to see who was coming.

A ray of happiness was seen in his eyes, his smile widened and he immediately stood up to welcome the arrival of his favorite grandson.

“Halo grandpa. How is grandpa?” Anneke rushed over to the grandfather and immediately hugged him tightly, so tightly that he did not want to let go.

Seeing her grandfather's hand on the stick tremble a little, Anneke was sure that her grandfather would have long waited for her arrival. Surely his grandfather saw the news and expected his arrival today.

“Anneke...why come this night? where's your husband?” grandpa Liam's two eyebrows frowned slightly as he did not find the shadow of his granddaughter-in-law whom he had been dying to meet for the past two years.

With a little stammering, Anneke immediately replied, “Ehm. That's why I decided to come tonight. Grandpa, Noah was not feeling well this morning, so I'm the only one who came here.”. Then he asked the waiter to get his suitcases out of the car and put them in his room.

His words certainly did not make Liam's grandfather happy. However, Liam's grandfather hopes that his son-in-law's granddaughter will visit him even if only once! But Liam's grandfather's resentment did not last long when he saw the waiter carrying all of Anneke's luggage.

“Are you going to stay here?” ask Grandpa Liam.

“Iya grandpa. I miss my grandfather and my father. So I decided to come back here.”

Grandpa Liam's face even more shining happy to hear the words of his favorite grandson. Anneke stood up and grabbed her already weak-looking grandfather. 

“Let's go to the cake room. It's late at night, so grandpa better get some rest. We can still chat again tomorrow because I will be here and not going anywhere.”

“Iya...iya....” he said excitedly. After all, her grandson had already come home and she did not want to disappoint him. The old man obeyed Anneke and went straight to his room.

...*******...

Chequek!

The sound of the door in The Bright Condominium that Anneke had just left opened just before midnight. The figure of a large, burly man who was seen wearing a black suit. The man was extremely handsome and dazzling with a strong noble aura making anyone feel intimidated.

With an unbalanced body, he seemed to stagger into the room that was now dark. She faintly looked up at the stairs leading to the main room and slowly climbed up the stairs. His strong-looking hands with protruding veins held the handles of the stairs one by one to support himself.

The man appeared to be drunk and had lost his consciousness. From where he stands at this time he smelled the smell of roses that felt tempting coming from inside the room there.

Step by step the man headed to where the scent came from. It had been a long time since he had set foot in this place, and the scent made his feelings chaotic.
