Father of My Son
If At That Time You Were Looking This Hard ...
All black clothes, with hair that he combed neatly back. Coupled with Lily who wears a black knee-length dress with hair that she neatly bun. Aric helps his wife get out of the car carefully, they just got home from Lucius' funeral.
No one else came, just Aric and his wife, as well as one Lily knew, Sam. Aric's face looked flat, but Lily could feel her husband's sadness.
Aric was quieter at the funeral, and so far no word has come out of his mouth.
"Mother!" Shouted Adam, the little man ran off to welcome Lily.
"Hi, Honey." Lily stretched out her hands, welcoming Adam in a warm embrace.
Aric rubbed Adam's hair for a moment, he then stepped in. Lily stared at the pus on Aric's passing back. Lucius, that man must have had a special relationship with Aric.
"Dad why Mother?" ask Adam.
Lily smiled, even Adam could feel the change in her husband.
"Dad is just tired, Dad's wounds have not healed yet. So I need a lot of rest" Lily explained.
Adam nodded in understanding. Lily hugged her son again, she was so grateful because Adam was so understanding.
"Adam has eaten? Want Mommy to make something for Adam?" Adam took her with a headband.
"Adam has eaten fried chicken made by Om Mateo" he replied again.
"Ok, then Adam played first yes the brothers first yes. Mommy wants to change clothes."
"Ready Mother!" adam said he ran to the room where he and several caregivers played.
Lily rushed over to her room, she then opened the door slowly. Aric had not changed his clothes, the man was sitting on a chair on the balcony of the room. Moved with a blank look.
Lily decides to accompany her husband, knowing that Aric needs her now.
"Darling, why haven't you changed your clothes?" ask Lily for a little talk.
Her clasped hands gently touched Aric's shoulders. The man turned his head, he clasped Lily's hand and then kissed her lovingly.
The man's face now looks sad, the look in Aric's eyes implies a great loss. Lily rested Aric's head on her chest, propped up Aric's black hair with her plump fingers.
"Are you mad at me, honey?" ask Aric.
"angry? what's for?" ask Lily back.
"I am saddened by the death of the man who hurt you" replied Aric weakly.
Lily slightly distanced Aric's face, in order to see him clearly. At the sight of Aric's hazel eyes inside, a sweet kiss Lily gave on her husband's forehead.
"Do I look like that?" Aric shakes.
Lily smiled, a smile that could always make Aric feel calm.
"I don't know who Lucius is to you, how is your relationship? Even though he wanted to hurt me and Adam, it was all over. He is no longer in the world, we should forgive him" Lily said at length.
"You're too good, honey." Aric pulled Lily's body back, grabbed her.
"I, Lucius, Sam and Darren. The four of us are the foster children of Demian, a male leader of a forbidden organization. We are trained to be people who have no compassion for the organization. Sam, he pleads with Damien to become a medic, Demian granting the request on one condition. He has to accept all the patients from Damien, and keep our secret."
"I and Lucius were specially educated, and in the end I was made the leader of the organization and Lucius was made the leader of the western organization. Lucius has always stuck with me, I love him like my own brother. But he had other thoughts."
Aric took a deep breath, before continuing his story. Lily faithfully, heard Aric's story while rubbing the man's hair.
"He wants me to be his partner."
"What's? Pas-pair?" parrot Lily was surprised. Aric answered with a nod.
"Of course not darling! I'm still normal!" Aric.
"I only loved him as a little brother, I knew he had such thoughts. Lucius's physique was not very good as a child, me and Mom took care of him when he was sick."
Lily looked at Aric with a frown.
"Trust me, I'm still completely normal. I don't like eggplant!" aric chuckles.
Lily raised one eyebrow, and still looked at Aric doubtfully.
"Trust me, if I were like that, how could he be here." Aric touched his wife's flat stomach.
"Yes, yes I believe. So you're sad because Lucius is already like your own brother, not your lover. Aye?"
"Yes" Aric replied without hesitation.
"After all, we grew up together" Aric added.
Aric had indeed avoided Lucius, ever since the man had expressed his feelings. But Aric could not deny that he still loved Lucius.
"I understand, Honey. But you also can't dissolve in sadness like this, now take a shower and change your clothes. After that we eat, okay?"
Aric nodded, he followed Lily's hand which pulled her in.
Grep.
Aric hugged Lily's body from behind.
"Thank you, honey. You understand me so much" whispered Aric.
"It's because I love you."
Aric gently kissed the wife's cheek, a small kiss that slowly descended to the open neck.
The sound of knocking on the door made Aric, forced to stop the activity that began to heat up. Lily chuckled amusedly looking at Aric's sour-looking face.
"What's wrong?" lily shouted a little loudly.
"Mr Hadid wants to see you, she's waiting outside the fence" Mateo reported from behind the door.
Aric clucked in annoyance, he had just let go of his mourning with Lily's persuasion. Why now is his father coming to ruin his mood again.
"Darling, why do you need special permission to enter? Isn't he your father?"
"Since that day, I've not been a Hadid Gulfaam family anymore!" Aric.
Aric released his embrace, with wide strides he approached the door. Then open it violently.
"Don't let him in, and tell him. I would never want to meet him or anyone and the Gulfaam family!" Aric's orders to Mateo, he spoke in a high tone.
"Good sir." Mateo immediately left to carry out the orders of Aric.
Aric's chest is well down, emotions are re-ignited. Aric rubbed his face rough, he slammed the door to close it.
"Dear, calm down." Lily hugged Aric's body, rubbing the man's back slowly.
Lily doesn't understand what's going on between Aric and his family. After Veronica falls, Lily is never again in contact with the Gulfaam family. Lily didn't even have time to say goodbye to the in-laws.
Aric's increasingly protective attitude after the maas incident, he actually kept his distance from the Gulfaam family.
