My Naughty Uncle's
Daniel's Regret

Before leaving for his office, Evan intends to stop by Daniel's residence. He had not seen his best friend for a long time. The last time they met, Daniel was still sitting in a wheelchair.

"Sir, please take me to Daniel's house. I want to see him before we go to the office" Daniel told the driver.

"Good, Sir." The driver immediately changed his direction and now drove towards Daniel's residence.

Moments later, the car driven by Mr. Driver arrived in front of Daniel's residence. Evan rushes out of the car and approaches Daniel's door.

Evan stood there long enough to knock on the door until it opened. A servant who worked at Daniel's house welcomed Evan's arrival. The middle-aged woman smiled warmly as she invited him to go inside.

"Please come in, Mr. Evan," said the waiter.

"Thank you, Bi," Evan replied.

Evan came in and followed the waiter from behind. Evan stopped his steps when he arrived at the main hall and sat there after the servant invited him to sit down.

"Wait a minute, sir. In a moment Mr. Daniel will be coming down soon" said the servant.

Evan nodded his head and waited for Daniel to arrive while relaxing in the room. Not long after, Daniel arrived in the room in a hurry. Daniel walked with the help of two sticks that he clamped between his armpits.

"Daniel" said Evan, rising from his seat and approaching Daniel. He helped his friend to sit on the sofa.

"Thank you, Evan." Daniel smiled warmly then placed his two canes beside the sofa he was sitting on.

"Tumben this early in the morning you've been here. Where not to say anymore," continued Daniel while chuckling softly.

"Ehm, actually this visit was impromptu. All of a sudden I want to see you before I go to the office" Evan said, noting the condition of his best friend.

"Enak is a boss, you can leave anytime you want" teased Daniel.

Even smiled faintly and then spoke again. "How's your leg, Daniel? It seems there has been a little development, yes," said Evan.

Daniel looked at his feet while smiling wryly. "Yes, like this. At least this leg can still function even though it is still limited," he replied.

Daniel raised his head then looked at Evan with a serious face. "Van, can you help me? Can you get me to Ze? I would love to meet him and would like to apologize to him for all the wrongs I've done so far" Daniel said.

"Yes, Evan. I want to apologize to Ze and hopefully Ze will forgive me" Daniel said. "Do you know, Evan. Ever since the accident, I've felt like a lunatic. Every day I was overshadowed by my guilt towards the girl. I got to go to the smart guy and question what really happened to me. The clever man said that I should apologize immediately to Ze to make my soul calmer" Daniel continued with a look of regret.

Evan smelled a smile. It turned out that it wasn't just him who was haunted by guilt towards Ze. Daniel felt what he felt before.

"I understand how you feel right now. If you really want to meet him, then I'll ask Om Jimmy for permission first and hopefully he will allow you" said Evan.

"What if Jimmy won't let me?" daniel asked with a worried face.

"That's your whim!" Evan chuckles. "Sorry, I was just kidding. I'm sure Om Jimmy will allow you" Evan continued.

Daniel's anxious face seemed to diminish and the man was finally able to smile with relief after hearing the reply from his best friend. Daniel looks at Evan's face and he knows that his best friend is having a problem.

"What's wrong with you, Van? Looks like you have a problem too" asked Daniel.

Evan exhaled heavily then leaned his body on the back of the sofa. "Yes, it's still the same as last night. It's about Ze," he replied.

Daniel laughed softly. "Yes, God! Ze again, Ze again!"

"Yes, that girl is really great! He makes our lives unsettled" Evan replied with a wry smile.

"Yes, you're right. Should I take Aldi with me, huh? Let him come with me to apologize to Ze" Daniel said.

"May as well, anyway. But ... Is Aldi talkable now?" ask Evan.

"Yes, it's been a little bit quiet. He can talk even if he doesn't connect sometimes. We ask what, he answers what," Daniel said, chuckling softly.

"Pity of Aldi."

"There's no need to pity her, Evan. But have mercy on yourself who ended up stuck in love with the girl we once thought was geeky and that village. Even worse, the girl is now the wife of your own Om" said Daniel.

"Less your aj*r!" annoyed Evan while throwing a couch cushion at Daniel. Daniel chuckles and catches a sofa pillow thrown by Evan.
