Aster Veren
Episode 33

- Arshel

Geck, tok!

The sound of my bedroom door being knocked from outside.

"Lake in." My words almost screamed to open the door of my room and showed Eric there.

I saw him start to walk up to me who was still standing by the window of my open room.

"I'm sorry to bother you these nights." He said after he got beside me.

I just finished Eric's lyrics bowing to me, "has there been any information from brother?" I don't want to talk a lot because at this time I really can't control my anger since Aster came home with his ear bandaged, even his face looks red like it has been slapped by someone.

"Not yet." His reply made my anger overflow, "I came here to tell you about the condition of the lady who has improved. Hana said her fever had dropped–" Then explained the intention of her arrival but I immediately stopped by turning my face towards the open window of the room.

"Ah, yes. I'll see it later." My words try to dampen my anger little by little.

Ah shit! I can't forget my conversation with my sister, I really want to reply to that b*debah. My mind recalls all my sister's explanations for Aster's condition and why he could get such a wound.

"Then I have permission to withdraw–" he said to make me immediately glance at him and immediately cut his words.

"Eric ... do you think I can help you find that brengs*k?" I asked him to look up while his body was still bent in front of me, then he quickly re-stressed his body and looked at me seriously.

"Would the young master leave this matter to Mr. Ansel," he said making me grouch at the sight of his serious eyes, seriously stopping me if I interfered in the arrest of that person.

However Eric is my little friend, he knows exactly what I can do under these circumstances. And he didn't want me to get in trouble for not being able to control my emotions.

But ... I really want to beat that shit up right now! My mind subconsciously pressed my teeth and clenched my hands together in annoyance.

Why can't I do anything? What will protect and make Aster happy? I continued again in my heart.

"Calm down, sir, for now you just need to be next to the lady. All these problems must be solved by Mr. Ansel, he must repair his relationship with miss. Seeing him so upset when he returned with the injured lady, doesn't that mean that you started to care about the lady? He had to forbid the young master to interfere, even the mistress who offered him help was also rejected by him. Please calm down, sir." He said at length while holding my shoulder with his right hand.

"Eric .. if you want to give me advice don't use your secretarial status. Use your status as my best friend, and stop calling me young master, don't I remind you often?" Obviously after sighing tiredly.

"Ah, you're right." He muttered while taking his hand off my shoulder.

"Gt ...." I tried to laugh when I saw his stupid expression.

After talking to Eric, I went straight to Aster's room with Eric leaving my house.

I saw Hana sitting on the edge of Aster's bed with a worried expression.

"How's the condition?" I said as I closed the door to Aster's room.

"Master? The fever has gone down, but .. It looks like the lady is having another nightmare." Clearly making my attention distracted on Aster's pale face, even his cold sweat had already drenched his face.

"You can go now, I'll take care of him tonight." My words made him rise up and immediately retreat after bowing his body towards me.

"Calm down Aster, I'm here." I muttered while sitting next to him and immediately grabbed the towel, then put it in the water in the container on the table.

"Sleep peacefully ...." I continued after squeezing a small towel in my hand and put the towel back into it.

I read the wall clock in Aster's room and went back to my nephew's attention after seeing the clock on the wall at 10:47 p.m.

"Ha~ah, it looks like tonight I won't be able to sleep. Brother, I hope you find him soon and teach him a lesson." I muttered after sighing while looking at the ceiling of the room.

"Mother ...." Aster's murmuring made me look at him.

Delirious? My mind wondered as it looked at the changed look on her sleeping face, "it seems like you're dreaming well now, are you meeting your mother now?" When I saw her calm sleeping face, I unconsciously smiled with relief for her.

- Ansel

Shaking my headphone destroyed my long daydream, I quickly grabbed my headphone and read the incoming message from Rigel.

"Good Rigel." I muttered when I saw the contents of the message stating that he managed to catch the br*ngsek man who had injured my daughter.

It didn't take me long to find it, my mind as I walked out of my study and rushed to see Rigel in the living room.

I saw him standing behind the man and nodding his head at me as our eyes met. Then I turned my attention to the figure of the man.

"It looks like you're having a hard time getting him here" I said as I watched Rigel's bruises.

"Ah, yes. We had a fight earlier." Obviously along with my attention that was focused on the wall clock that addressed 02:32 pm.

"Ma–forgive me, I really have no intention of hitting that kid." His words sounded trembling as my eyes stared fixedly at his eyes.

"No intention?" I tried to hold back my anger and walked over to him.

"This is the report, sir." Said Rigel giving a file in his hand to me.

I quickly opened the file and found the man's data.

The tesar? so this guy's a distant relative of Helen's family, why would he be so rude to my daughter? Inner wondering.

I remember now, this man. The one who made my daughter have nightmares all this time! the same person as the one who intends to finish Aster off. I continued in my heart when I remembered Arsel's story about Aster's nightmare.

"I beg ma–forgive me." His words distract me.

"I'm sorry? after doing such a shameless thing? sorry?" I asked full of emphasis while throwing a file in my hand on the table in front of me.

"I–that's me–" he said at a standstill as our views re-encounter.

"You think I'll forgive you? after all your bad deeds to my daughter?" I completely exhausted my patience and immediately grabbed her collar, pulling her as high as possible.

"Really, I was just doing the orders. Please forgive me." He looks so scared.

"Governance?" I asked not to take off her collar.

"C–claretta! she–dia asked me to–" Obviously made me throw my fist at her face.

"Omong empty!" My words could not take my eyes off the Tesar who was sitting on the floor.

"That woman? reigning you? how do you know each other?" I continued while clenching my hands together in annoyance.

"I–itu, I know him after watching Aster for the last few days near his school. I saw Claretta then, and she really didn't seem to like the kid, so I volunteered to work with her. So ...." He turned his face the other way.

"Ha, so from the beginning you were planning to disturb my daughter huh?" My words made him an expert.

"Please forgive me." His words immediately bowed before me.

"I didn't like him because he was Helen's son, but the plan was. Claretta made it and gave it in return for me." The next one still prostrates before me.

"So you planned it before, right?" I asked while crouching in front of him and making him look up.

"Before?" He looked confused for a few seconds.

"Don't you ever try Aster's murder?" I immediately grabbed her face and pressed her with my finger.

"Where might–" the answer stopped.

"You're strangling him, aren't you?" I asked again full of emphasis and made him silenced.
