Aster Veren
Episode 40's

- Arshel

After I finished calling my brother, and heard about his planned move to Singapore in the near future. I went straight to Aster's room.

Arriving at Aster's room, I immediately walked towards his bed and sat next to him who was asleep in his sleep.

Time has also shown at 10:15 pm, but my mind is still fixed on the explanation of the brother about the move plan. I couldn't sleep thinking about his words.

He said he wanted to finish his job in Singapore and stay for a few years there, of course he had other reasons why he had to take Aster with him.

As Aster said before, my brother wanted to treat Aster's disease and I also heard him say the same thing as Aster said.

"But I still can't believe there's any other reason why she wanted to take Aster away with her. .. The reason is to keep Aster away from the likes of Claretta." I muttered as I grabbed my nephew's forehead and stroked him as gently as possible.

I know a lot of people who want to destroy my family because of their personal vendetta against my late father who was notoriously tough on business. But I never thought they could plan such crazy things that I couldn't imagine.

Claretta teamed up with Tesar to keep Aster away from her brother, even the br*man who dared to hurt my niece. Then the brother managed to dismantle their crimes and put them in prison.

But Claretta is released by Victor at the request of her mother Claretta on one condition she must fulfill. The terms given by my annoying sister.

Victor must take Calea's custody from Claretta and keep the child away from her mother, since Claretta's mother has already approved the transfer of custody without Claretta's knowledge. Victor takes the woman out of prison, but Claretta soon learns Victor's intention to release her and plans to meet the man. But Claretta doesn't know where Victor's new home is, so she goes to her sister's office and makes a fuss there.

"So that's why Claretta came to my sister's office. .. I can't even think of what my sister's crazy thing was thinking, it's also great that she can realize my sister's bad intentions." I muttered as I recalled my conversation with my sister over the phone.

But brother really thought everything out well huh, he got to work with Victor to destroy Claretta and her mother.

"... I honestly still love Kalea, so I asked Victor to look after her. He's the father anyway .. You know Arsel? All this time Claretta and her mother were too hard at educating Kalea, so I was always there to protect Kalea when she needed a father figure ...." My brother's voice came back in my head.

"Hah~ I still can't believe Victor didn't know Claretta had a child with him. Especially when you say Victor was framed by that woman, what exactly did that woman think?!" I muttered to my own annoyance at the thought of Claretta's face. Somehow I'm starting to think she's a mur*han woman now.

But yes, my sister also did not know that Helen's sister was pregnant with her child at that time. My mind while watching Aster's face that looks calm in his sleep.

"It seems like lately you rarely have nightmares again huh Aster ...." I muttered with a smile looking at his face.

"... I hate to admit it, but what you think is true. He has to keep Aster away from people like Claretta who want to destroy his family for a while, at least until Aster can take care of himself and I hope his illness can be cured, too," I continued to remember the face of the father who had the same disease as Aster.

"Good morning uncle" I said as I looked at my uncle who was waiting for me in the dining room.

"For Aster, today you still have a follow-up exam huh?" said uncle returned my morning greeting with a thin smile.

"Yes, Aster is planning to finish it all today." I replied to my uncle's smile with a big smile before sitting next to him to enjoy breakfast with uncle.

"Solve everything?" Uncle asked, confused.

"Yes, yesterday Aster took the follow-up exam and completed half the subjects in the Aster class, so today Aster just finished the other half." I clearly.

"Isn't the follow-up exam held for one week? and every day there's a schedule, right?" Uncle asked, confused.

"Hha–ha, Aster asked for a special test the same Miss Estelle." My answer forced my laughter.

"Specialized test?" Ask the uncle again after drinking the water.

"Yes, Aster wants to quickly finish his exam within two days." I answered while watching the fried rice in front of me.

"Why is that in a hurry? is it okay to finish it ahead of schedule?" Ask uncle looks worried.

"Then let your uncle drive you to school today, okay." Said uncle looks so excited to make me excited too.

"Who will take my daughter to school?" Dad's voice stole my and uncle's attention.

"You?!" Said the uncle looking surprised when he saw the figure of the father who had walked towards us.

"I never heard you'd drive her to school today." Said Dad made me look at uncle.

"You heard that just now, right?" Obviously uncle looks upset.

"No way! as I wish today Aster will go with me." Said the father who was standing near the uncle.

"Lied you must have heard!" Uncle's jerk looks increasingly upset.

"Today I'll take you back." My father grabbed my body and held it.

A–ada what is this? My mind doesn't understand my current situation.

"You! he's still having breakfast, don't take him away!" The uncle's growls tried to hold back his emotions.

"Hope in the car alone ...." Said the father after bringing two loaves of bread that had been smeared with brown slay by him while arguing with uncle before carrying me.

"But uncle said he wanted to take Aster to school today" I said, taking bread in my father's hand.

"Let it go, he's a lot of work today. So I'll take you." Obviously father while leaving uncle in the dining room.

"I know today!" Shouted the uncle who had followed the footsteps of the father behind him.

Why am I suddenly being fought like this? My mind felt like it could do nothing to stop my father and uncle, all I could do was put on my stiff smile as my father glanced at me.

"You don't want to be ushered in by me?" Dad asked to surprise me.

"Bu–not so, where maybe Aster doesn't want–" I replied cut off.

"Then let's go." Said father with a thin smile and immediately put me in a car that was parked in the yard of the uncle's house.

"Oiii!" Uncle tried to stop me, but it didn't seem to work.

"A–aster go first yes uncle ...." My boyfriend feels bad for my uncle.

"Don't talk to him!" Said the father who had entered the car and immediately closed the glass of my car which had shown the face of my uncle there.

"Pa–papa ...." I muttered while looking at the uncle who was getting annoyed.

"Basin' stupid brother sucks!!" Shouted uncle before dad drove his car, and I saw secretly dad was already smiling amusedly making me wonder what was funny about his quarrel with uncle.

Then I saw the uncle figure from the reflection of the outside rearview mirror that showed a wide smile uncle that I could not understand as well.

Are papa and uncle always like this? My mind wondered until I unconsciously smiled because of the behavior of my father and uncle.
