Heart Darkness
Chapter 16 I Find You, Aruhi ...

"So, you can't come to my school for guardianship and Mr Abner will replace you?! You know, I don't like that? The mother of the orphanage even went to the guardianship of her foster children, the time Brother had with his own sister?!"

Elgio crouches near Dilly's stable behind Durante Pavilion, between the large house and the small dwelling of Aunt Maribel, their domestic assistant. Reinha stood by his side, sulking. The girl nagged there for almost half an hour, trying to persuade even to force Elgio to come in a third-rate guardianship. He kept whining.

"That's right, Enya. I can't come. Kan, you've said it many times?"

Elgio tries to be patient while brushing the golden fur of Dilly, his favorite Herder dog. He glanced at the younger sister who was making upset lips. It was comforting, reminding Elgio of Aruhi.

"Claire Luciano is coming with her handsome older brother, Lucky Luciano. My guardian must be Mr Abner who looks old and senile?"

Elgio turned to dislike Reinha, "Mr Abner is our guardian. Take care of your attitude and tell him!" Despite being angry, Reinha had to know the limits.

"Sorry, Brother .... I won't repeat. I'm just pissed off."

"I'm not endlessly surprised, you guys want third-level guardianship or want to show good looks family members? Abner is going to go. All your friends know I'm handsome, don't need affirmation. Next month I call a private tutor for you to study Management Economics. You'll continue business at Dream Fashion. In there! It's almost 9 p.m. Stop pouting!"

"No want! I want Brother!? Point!"

"I had an important meeting that day, Enya. So, you have to understand my position."

"Why wasn't Mr Abner the only one at the meeting? So, brother can come with me to school. Isn't Mr Abner also the guardian of Brother in the company?"

Elgio shook his head and looked at Reinha's angry face. When angry Reinha's face flushed like boiled shrimp. It's hard to have a sister, Reinha Durante.

"Aish, you're this. If you're first rank I'll come to your guardianship without being told. So my popularity is worth your rank."

"That's impossible, brother." Reinha turned the eyeballs, "Pretty bad enough to not beat Ethan Sanchez, worse because Marya Corazon is number one and too genius."

"Ethan Sanchez was your crush, wasn't he?"

Reinha shook her head, "No, she doesn't like me. Ethan likes Marya Corazon."

"Oh, huh? Is Marya Corazon more beautiful than Durante's daughter? I wonder if there's another girl more beautiful than you?"

"No. No one knows if she is beautiful or if she is ugly. Nobody knows."

"Nobody knows? Wh why? Aren't you guys classmates? Don't you know if she's pretty or not? It's so strange that you're ...."

"Marya was not popular, her face was never exposed either. He's always hiding under the hoodie. It seems like he's suffering from sociophobia."

"Sociophobia?"

"So I don't know, he's a loner and doesn't like to hang out."

Ethan stopped petting Dilly. Elgio pounding happy.

That Aruhi? I'm sure it is, he!

His heart was filled with confidence. It bites the lips strongly, refraining from jumping and squealing with interest. Wanting to scream and jump happily like a child, but afraid Reinha was suspicious. He cheered in his heart.

Eu encontrei .... (I found you) ....

Elgio painstakingly set the look of his happy face so as not to be too prominent. He's burning with spirit at the moment.

"Who are his parents? Is it from above?"

"Nobody knows anything about Marya, her parents or her life. No one even knows where he lives. He's not popular but everyone's interested in him, like you just did. Oh, my God, that pisses me off."

"Then who came to Marya's class guardianship?"

"Nobody came. Marya guardian for herself" said Reinha as she pressed her hand to touch Dilly, but the dog was not used to the inhabitants of Durante Land. He snarled at Reinha. The girl backed away in fear.

"Well, Marya can?! Why do you insist that I should come?"

Elgio closed the door to Dilly's cage and locked it. He clenched his waist, observe Reinha seriously.

"How did he get into your prestigious school?"

Reinha grew bored, but in order to change Elgio's stance, he did not mind answering. Not suspicious of his older brother who asked questions. Actually happened Elgio was haunted by curiosity.

"Marya got a full scholarship from the Foundation."

Elgio's chocolate iris darkens. So, he wasn't adopted by someone? That means he hasn't eaten enough since Ebenn died. Elgio's heart was filled with pain. The atmosphere went from bright to arid. So, the girl lived suffering all this time? Elgio suppressed the pain in the chest that came anchoring.

"Is he taller than you?" ask Elgio slowly.

"Emm, yeah. Tall, thin and pale."

"Is Marya dating Ethan Sanchez?"

"Not fully revealed. Ethan likes Marya. But I think Marya likes you. Marya made your picture in the form of a clipping and kept it in a school bag."

"really?" Elgio's face flushed.

"of course. But sister, all the girls in my class did. They keep your picture. Can you stop asking? If you're curious about Marya Corazon, why don't you just come to school? We've been 'friends' lately."

Reinha's befriended intention is that Marya always stops when she runs into him and puts out a paper that says "Obrigada".

Elgio stood up straight, his facial features unfathomable. Suddenly Elgio pulls Reinha into his arms, thanking her for finding Aruhi. Elgio's heart beat with overflowing excitement and he didn't want Reinha to see the over-excited expression in his eyes. He rattled Reinha's hair.

"Alright, sorry I was rude to you. I'll come to guardianship and beat Lucky Luciano's good looks!"

"Yes ... Brother changed his mind, is it because of Marya Corazon?"

Elgio let go of Reinha, his eyes narrowed, "That's not it .. Or do I not need to come? You can go with Mr. Abner."

"Oh, no! Please don't be. Be careful that Brother is not coming! I love you, Brother."

Reinha on her tiptoes kissed Elgio's cheeks, waved and left with a carefree face. He sometimes jumps happily. Elgio stood pensively. Happy to find Aruhi is then scratched with grief thinking the girl may have suffered for years.

Dilly's restlessness pacing in the cage ends Elgio's daydreaming. His attention was drawn to Dilly.

Elgio clucked, "I'll get you a snack! Stop whining! Did you just imitate Enya's whining?"

Dilly just growled quietly. Elgio goes into the back shed and picks up Dilly's snack. He poured the biscuits into the dog food bowl. Suddenly Dilly barked.

Guk ... Guk ... Guks ....

Guks .... Guk ... Guks ....

Then growled uneasily as if something was bothering him. Just like he was snarling at Reinha earlier. Elgio went to the barn door. Does Azel bother Dilly again? He peeked at why Dilly was barking. Elgio's heart was almost broken. Someone sneaked into Aunt Maribel's house. A girl with the same uniform skirt as Reinha and wears a Hoodie. The girl hurriedly entered the house. Elgio approached slowly.

"You just got home, Marya?"

"May's Auntie's Dad."

Aunt Maribel's voice rang out in between her sleepiness.

"Marya, don't forget to finish your dinner!"
