Aster Veren
Episode 07's

- Arshel

I opened my eyes slowly when I heard the sound of a car driving away from my house. Looks like Aster has gone to school with my personal chauffeur.

Last night I did ask him to pick Aster up, considering he's my nephew now. And I'm really grateful to be able to meet her when she needs someone who can protect her when her mother and grandmother are gone.

Suddenly my mind remembered my conversation with my mother last night. He called me to scold me for leaving Michelle at the restaurant alone.

Well, it seems like she's really happy to complain, and I don't like her nature. I can't even accept this match.

When mom was busy nagging, I accidentally talked about Helen's sister. Of course it makes her more angry, because the mother does not like to hear the name Helen Valeria mentioned in her family.

But I tried to convince her if she had a child ... the flesh blood of her first son with a supposition, would she accept it?

She was very clear that "It was impossible, and again she had never heard of Helen's pregnancy. Even if he has a child, he's definitely not my older brother Ansel Veren." That's how it says.

Obviously Aster was his daughter's older sister, judging from any angle he bore many similarities to Helen's older sister and older sister.

Black hair with purple at the end of her hair, a combination of hair color sister and sister Helen, then the purple eyeballs she has exactly the same as Helen's eyeballs. How could he not be a brother?

I've decided to adopt her and tell her about herself no matter what, for a while I just had to hide her figure from my mother. That's my plan.

"For now it's better to take a shower first." My murmurs soon got out of my bed and went towards my private bathroom.

If I want to tell you, then the right time is the time for his return from Singapore. I continued in my heart while opening the bathroom door.

The time has shown at 09:00 am, my phone has rang many times and makes me upset because it interferes with my concentration is busy working. I lazily picked up the incoming call from my mother, it seemed like she was planning to nag me again now.

"Yes hello?" I started the conversation after sighing tiredly and picking up the phone.

"Archsel! I heard last night you called Michelle and canceled your match, is that true?" It sounds emotional, my guess is right? mom called to lecture me.

That woman! It seems like he was happy to complain yes .. All the things about me he was stirring at mom, really sucks. Inner me grumbling.

"Arsel?" Mother's voice resuscitated my daydream.

"Well, I don't need a spotter like her anyway and she doesn't like me, so why do I continue this stupid matchmaking?" I remember all the things about Michelle.

He never liked me because he had long harbored feelings for my sister. But brother never liked it, his first meeting with Michelle became their last meeting.

Then I heard that she was also betrothed to another man before agreeing to her marriage with me. But I don't care about the problem, which I know he also objected to this matchmaking. So I decided to cancel this match. For his own good and mine.

"Why did you want to cancel her match without telling her before? If this is how their partnership with our company gets canceled, you know that?" Mother said with a voice up and down.

"I don't care, after all, you can run other companies if the company here goes bankrupt." I said as I got out of my seat and walked near the window of my study.

"Groz!" Mom sounded annoyed.

"Sucks." I continued while breathing tired.

- Esther

"This is very painful ...." Ringisku felt a pain in both of my knees.

"Hhaha.. suck!" The ejek of some of my classmates who saw me fall because they were pushed by Nadin's stocky body while walking towards the gate.

It really hurts. My mind when I see my knee bleeding.

"Pft.. I'm sorry your body is so small that I can't see it." Nadin said trying to hold back his laughter, but the next second he laughed making other friends laugh with me.

"You're so mean to say he's little Nadin." Kalea's voice caught everyone's attention.

"Nova ...." Nadin muttered along with Kalea's hand outstretched before me.

"You can't judge Nadin, he has no father and is abandoned by his mother and grandmother. We have to be nice to him, right?" Kalea said to surprise me and undo my intention to grab her hand when she saw her ignorant smile.

"Hhaha, it's true, Aster does not have a father who continues to be left by his mother and grandmother. Not even his relatives would be willing to take him in, he was completely left alone." Said one of the boys made me think back to the faces of my mother and grandmother. Not to mention that all of his words were true, and I can't deny it.

"Allow him pity, so .. We better not have to deal with him. Just leave him alone, if you meet him just ignore it. It was easier than having to mock her every time she met him. Let's go Nadin." Obviously Kalea made everyone leave with whispers that bothered me.

Hiks .. I don't have a father, so why? Mom says there are a lot of unlucky kids like me, no father and no mother. But why do I feel like I'm the luckiest kid here? Mother .... My mind wiped my tears and immediately rose from my sitting position when I saw the driver running towards me.

"Miss? What's going on?" He asked when he came to my face and immediately crouched to watch the wound on my knee.

"I'm fine, uncle, I fell down while running out of school" I replied with my best smile.

"Uncle came to pick me up?" Next asked.

"Yes, the young master asked me to pick up the lady. From now on I'll take the lady to school." His reply immediately rose from his squatting position.

"He? Why?" I ask not to understand, why did red uncle ask the driver to take me?

"Well, today's weather is not good, soon it will be raining .. We should go home soon, come on, miss." Invite uncle to divert the conversation and immediately hold my hand to the car park.

Arriving at the parking lot, uncle immediately opened the car door for me so I could go straight in.

Before long uncle got in the car and started the engine, the rain came down bringing bad memories in my life. Old memories I want to forget ....
