Aster Veren
Episode 16's

- Esther

"Well ready, look at this very beautiful lady wearing this outfit. The young master made it special for miss." Sis Hana said while holding my shoulder while I was still standing in front of the mirror to see my reflection there.

"really. Her clothes are beautiful, Aster likes ...." I said as I developed my smile and noticed my clothes that were like this princess.

"But why did red uncle make clothes like this for Aster?" I continued asking because I really did not understand, but today I only want to meet with grandma. But my clothes are designed like this.

And again I was surprised uncle made it for me, I myself just found out that uncle works as a fashion design.

"That's because today is a special day for the lady, and again she said today is her brother's birthday young master." Obviously sister Hana with a smile, I saw her from the reflection of the mirror.

"Sir .. do you mean Brother Hana Dad?" I asked as I turned around to face him.

"Yes." Yeah." Hana replied while nodding her head and pinched my cheek in a fit of anxiety.

"Aster you ready? Have you worn the necklace yet?" Asked uncle who just entered my room to make my attention on him.

I saw that uncle was dressed neatly in a dark blue suit the same color as the clothes I was wearing. And uncle's hairstyle also looks different than usual.

"What's a–ada?" Uncle's voice is breaking down my daydream.

"Uncle is very handsome today." I immediately hugged my uncle's body and smelled a very fragrant scent, probably because of the perfume uncle used.

"Oh my goodness, your clothes will get tangled later." Sis Hana sounded anxious.

"It's okay ... Aster also looks pretty." Said uncle along with my head looking up at his handsome face, it seems like uncle knows what I want to say so he immediately said it's okay and smiled warmly at me.

"A ready? Let's go now." My uncle then noticed the necklace around my neck, and his hand immediately grabbed my hand, and I could only follow in his footsteps from the side.

"Are we not going to have breakfast?" I was surprised because we didn't have breakfast this morning.

"Will we eat with grandma at her house, or Aster will have breakfast first?" Uncle answered making me shake quickly.

"Then please bring this snack miss, miss can eat it on the way to ward off the hunger of the lady." Sis Hana gave me a small packet of cake.

"Thank you brother." I said that I had received the package and smiled at him.

"Then we go first, please take care of the house." Continue uncle when we get to the house.

"Good sir." Said Hana while bowing her body.

"Please enter miss." Uncle Eric's voice opened the back door.

"Come in." Red uncle made me immediately get into the car after seeing sister Hana smile and wave her right hand to me.

The door was closed, uncle Eric ran to the other side and immediately went inside along with the red uncle who had closed the door of his part car.

"Eric don't forget to stay with Aster there. I'm gonna go see mom to talk about something important." Said uncle red.

"Good sir." Uncle Eric answered while driving his car.

"Aster was just like Eric back there, after my conversation with Grandma was over. I'll meet you right away, or you'll ask Eric to take you to me." Continue uncle while reaching for the top of my head, it seems like lately uncle really likes to touch my head huh?

"Yes." Yeah." I answered while understanding.

I can't trouble uncle by saying I want to continue with him right? Continuing in my heart while opening the package of cakes in my hand and directly eating the cake in it, I also occasionally glanced at uncle who was busy with his cellphone.

- Arshel

Arriving at the mother's residence, I immediately went to her private room alone and let Aster walk around with Eric until my business was done.

It feels like my heart is still stuck because suddenly my mother received Aster this fast, and she said yesterday she went to Aster school to see him. I really don't know what Mom's thinking right now, all this really worries me.

I stopped my steps right in front of the door of my mother's private room, and with a heavy heart I knocked on the door three times until I could hear my mother's voice letting me into her room.

Without wasting any time I entered his room after opening the door in front of me as wide as possible.

"You've come, where's Aster?" Ask mom to find her grandson's whereabouts.

"He was walking around with Eric" I answered, closing the door to my mother's private room and walking toward him sitting on his soft sofa.

"So can you tell me the real mother's reason? Why do you suddenly think of Aster as your granddaughter?" I continued without further ado.

"You are, when you have just come. At least sit down and ask." Said mother after sighing tiredly.

"So?" Ask me again don't want to do the pleasantries.

"You heard Mom's answer from the phone, right? Why do you have to say it again?" Mother replied as she placed her tea plant and glanced at me sharply.

"Am I just gonna believe it?" I asked to return that sharp look.

"Sit down first, I'll tell you everything." Mother said again sighing tiredly.

"If you don't sit down, I won't tell you." It made me sigh and immediately sit down in front of him.

"Do you know that your brother doesn't want to make an arranged marriage and throw it all at you?" Mom asked while leaning her back on the sofa and I could only nod her question in response.

"And you also troublemaked by canceling your match with Michelle," He continued to offend me a little.

"Ma–maaf ...." I feel a little guilty.

"Pft ... Didn't you hear me wrong?" Mother's question made me misbehave and she could only laugh at me.

"Have forgotten it, we return to the main topic. Emh ... Where was it? Ah yes, after the annulment of your arranged marriage with Michelle, her family canceled her cooperation with our company. And like you said, our company went bankrupt. But it doesn't matter because there are other companies ...." Continue mother while hugging the sofa pillow in her lap.

If it doesn't matter, why not refuse that matchmaking from the start? Why should I force myself to be close to that Michelle? My grunts in my heart.

"What matters now is your sister's relationship with that woman. Do you know that Ansel was close to Claretta? She even considered her son as her own daughter .. What exactly did she think to that extent to protect the reputation of the woman's family? After all, from the beginning our family had nothing to do with their family. Does that kid want to embarrass our family's reputation?" The next one looks to be holding back his frustration.

Yes it is true, I also feel a little disappointed and a lot upset at my stupid brother. How can he regard another's child as his own? And ignore your own child?

But if from the beginning the mother did not force Helen's sister to go from the sister's life and accept her as the daughter-in-law of this family, maybe at this time the sister can live happily together with her wife and child. He also couldn't possibly be related to Claretta .... My mind remembers the photo of Aster carried by Helen's sister. Judging from the photo, maybe Aster's age when it was just 4 months.

(Helen & Aster).
