Aster Veren
Episode 06's

- Esther

Tonight the atmosphere in my uncle's house feels quieter than my previous home, probably because this house is too spacious to be inhabited by brother Hana, uncle Eric, uncle red and driver.

And now I also live in this luxurious house, have a room that is wider than before even the bed is also very soft and the blanket is very thick.

“Red security when to go home? Kak Hana said, uncle will come home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. But it's been more than two days uncle didn't come home.” I muttered while squeezing the thick blanket that had covered almost my entire body.

Today sister Hana also went from home to visit her ailing mother, and I had to sleep alone in this spacious room.

My eyes really cannot be closed now, it feels very afraid to go to sleep outside when it is raining heavily with the sound of lightning lightning that always scares me.

Grandma, mom .... My mind remembers the day my grandmother and mother left me.

Unknowingly my tears fell along with the sound of lightning lightning lightning that shocked me. I hope this rain and lightning bolt is over soon.

The lyrics of the wall clock near the door of the room, the time has shown at 09:30 pm and the rain has not shown any signs of easing.

“Uh when did the rain and lightning sound disappear?” My murmur immediately filled my body with a thick blanket in my hand, trying to calm myself by closing my eyes.

Calm Aster calm down, everything is fine. The rain will soon subside, as well as the sound of lightning. Let's calm yourself Aster, calm down. My mind kept on muttering trying to calm myself.

When I felt a little calmer, the sudden sound of lightning came back to surprise me reflexively woke up from my sleeping position and I saw the whole room in my room go dark.

“He? Pe—power outage?” My words immediately ran towards the door of the room as lightning bolts were seen behind my bedroom window.

But not yet had time to reach the door knob, my feet tripped something and made my body fall on the floor.

“Aduh, Hiks' mother. Aster fear ...” My ringis while crying tears could not hold back the fear that I had been trying to drown.

“Aster?” The voice of someone behind the door immediately displayed his figure as my bedroom door opened.

I saw the red uncle standing on the doorstep shining a light at me, I quickly ran towards him and hugged him very tightly along with the sound of lightning returning to surprise me.

“Uncle hiks ... I'm afraid ...” I obviously don't want to let go of my embrace.

“You haven't slept?” Ask after sighing in relief.

“Aster can't sleep alone. Lightning–” My answer stopped when I heard again a fairly loud lightning sound.

“Aster fear of lightning sounds huh?” Uncle's question made me look up and nod my head with a clear circle that fell back on my cheek.

“Then uncle accompany Aster to Aster sleep ya.” He said as he stroked the top of my head gently.

After hearing Hana go home, I rushed back to my house no matter how angry my mother was if she knew I left Michelle at the restaurant alone. What I'm worried about right now is my nephew.

I really want to hug her now, I also want to tell my sister about Aster as soon as possible. But before that I have to see Aster. My mind while watching the white envelope containing the letter from Helen's sister.

I didn't expect Helen's and sister's relationship to be this complicated and leave Aster alone. If at that time Helen said honestly about her pregnancy to her sister, could they be able to live happily with Aster?

When I remember Helen leaving my sister without a word, I cannot imagine the feeling of Helen being forced to leave my sister by circumstances. Even then she was pregnant with Aster, then raised him without the figure of a husband beside her.

Mother did not approve of the marriage of sister and sister Helen so they secretly married. And the sister brought Helen's sister home when she thought she might accept Helen's sister if she knew they were married. But my mother wasn't that good, she kicked her son and his wife out of her house.

I heard they lived a happy life and it made me feel relieved because in the end my brother could be free from the pressure of mother who forced him to do business marriage. But something happened, suddenly Helen left her sister with a letter of apology for not being able to live with her anymore.

All I knew was that before Helen decided to leave, she had a chance to meet her mother. I know because I accidentally met them at a family restaurant. But I don't know what mom told Helen's sister until she had to decide to walk away from the life of the person she loved, the person who loved her until this very moment.

And since the departure of Helen's sister, she was forcibly picked up by her mother and some of her personal servants. Since then also brother turned into a cold man and became very obedient to mother, only a matter of business that must be managed by him. When it comes to matchmaking, you always reject it firmly and then now I have to replace you and make an arranged marriage with Michelle.

But now I was curious about her reaction when she found out that Helen's sister had died and left a beautiful princess for her. Inner wondering.

“Already until young master.” The words of my personal driver tore down my daydreams, I quickly got out of my car and ran into the house with mixed feelings.

The sound of lightning roared again after leaving the lightning light reflected from the living room window where the curtains were not closed. Then the next second the sound of lightning again boomed along with a power outage that made the entire house become pitch black.

I hope he is asleep, my mind while walking towards the room occupied by Aster with a flashlight on my headphone to illuminate my journey to his room.

Duk!

A voice in the room made me open the door of the room in front of me, I saw Aster was sitting on the floor crying.

“Aster?” My words made him immediately get up and run my karah.

“Uncle hiks ... I'm afraid ...” Clearly hugging my body tightly.

“You haven't slept?” I asked to feel relieved because I had made the right decision to go home and check on Aster.

“Aster can't sleep alone. Lightning–” The answer stopped along with the sound of thunder that returned.

It seemed like she was afraid of the lightning, my mind watching her who was still hugging my body tightly on the side of her bedroom door.

“Aster fear of lightning sounds huh?” My question made him look up and nod his head along with the falling clear circles drenching his cheeks.

“Then uncle accompany Aster to Aster sleep ya.” I said while stroking the top of his head trying to give him peace.

“Um.” He said as he nodded and let go of his embrace.
