My Uncle's Warm Bed
Love Me the Way You
In a dimly lit room, a man sat on the edge of his bed looking at an old photograph. His gaze implied sadness, despair and regret. All of those feelings are mixed into one.
She was almost 26 years old, and she had never met her family. He has no idea who his father is, who his mother is, where his family is and the reason why they don't want him.
For 26 years, she lived in a suburban Orphanage. No one knew of her origin including the orphanage mother who had been taking care of her all along, there was no clue whatsoever about her family other than the pendant she had. As the only precious thing he had.
"Ma, Pa. Where are you now? why should you dump me?" said the man muttered. Both of his eyes looked teary and his voice sounded raucous.
He was eager to find his family, but unfortunately he did not know how to start and where to look for them. Fortunately, there was a kind person who would take him, give him a job, a place to live, eat and drink for free.
The man wiped his tears then sauntered out leaving his room. There is still work to be done. Night does not mean having to laze around, because compared to day, he prefers to do his work when night falls.

Silence enveloped Kevin and Viona together. Not a word came out from the lips of the two of them, both of them were both silent in silence. Viona leaned her head against Kevin's shoulder while hugging his arm. They are enjoying the waves.
up there the observer of the world was emitting his light, accompanying the exhausted humans in a part of the sheltered earth. The light is so soft and warm, making anyone will feel at home to enjoy its beauty.
"Vi, there's something Uncle wants to tell you." Kevin broke the silence.
Viona raised her head and looked at Kevin curiously. "What's? It sounds very serious" he said.
"Before we go further, and our relationship is still corn. Uncle, you want to understand one thing. Uncle, it's not a romantic guy who will always say 'I love you' every second of the minute. It's not poets who create poetic words for you. Give flowers and chocolate every day. I don't even know how to be romantic like most guys out there."
"I can promise you nothing, but I can give you my life and loyalty. I can't be like other men, but I'll love you in my own way." Kevin is at length.
Viona shook her head. I don't care about any of that, Uncle doesn't need to be someone else just to love me. Just love me the way you do" said Viona.
Kevin pulled Viona's arm and carried the woman into his arms. Making the head of the different chocolate as the focus of his chin. Luckily Kevin has a woman like Viona, who can love and accept him for who he is. And the shortcomings they have will be complemented by each other.
"It's late, let's go home." Kevin let go of his embrace then got up from his seat.
Viona nodded. He receives Kevin's hand outstretched at her. The two then walked away from the beach.

"Marco, what's wrong with your eyes? why flushed? Did you just cry?"
Marco's arrival was greeted by a question by the middle-aged man. He saw a trace of tears on his adopted son's face. Marco shakes. "No, I'm not crying." Answer with flat.
"Maybe you can lie to everyone, but you can't lie to me. What makes you cry, you a man shouldn't be as weak as a woman. Never show me your weakness in front of me again!!" said the man while looking at him sharply.
Marco took a breath. "No way, Pa. I'm just a little sad to remember my past. I want to know my origins, who I am and my parents are."
Is all that still important? They dumped you, so why remember them again?! You still have me, I am the one who has been with you all along and accompanied you growing up. So appreciate me a little!!" said the man in a flat tone.
He was a little offended at hearing what Marco said. Marco's attitude disappointed him. He should have been able to appreciate himself more, instead of being so brash.
"Pa, are you angry and disappointed in me?!" exclaim Marco and stop his steps.
The man stopped his steps and looked back. "Think about it yourself!!" he said and just left. He wanted Marco to be aware that his attitude was wrong.
Marco took a breath. He had just made a mistake, his foster father was angry at him. This is the umpteenth time he made him disappointed, but Marco did not want to take a headache let alone think too much about it. He better go calm his mind.

Exactly at 21:00 p.m. Kevin and Viona arrive home. The woman got off Kevin's car and vice versa. The two of them walked together to enter the building which has three floors.
Their steps stopped when they met Frans. Frans bowed in front of Kevin and Viona.
"You take care of it. I don't want to see his face!!" reply Kevin chimed.
Lee Hoon is Kevin's former son. Time and time again he disappointed Kevin, already three times he gave the man a chance but not a single chance that Lee Hoon took advantage of well. Again and again Lee Hoon disappointed Kevin, lucky he did not finish him immediately.
"One more. Better get back to your room and rest. You look tired, don't get sick from working too hard." Said Kevin.
Frans nodded. "Good, Sir. Then excuse me first." He bowed to Kevin and left just like that.
Kevin sighed. "I feel so sorry for him. Since childhood he lived a family without family. When I found him, he almost died from being gang-raped by thugs for not being able to give them money. He is a poor young man, his fate before meeting me was very bad." Said Kevin.
He told little about Frans' life problems to Jessica. About his bleak past and how they met.
"It was a good thing he met Uncle. If only she met someone else, maybe her fate would not be the same" Viona responded.
"Yes, it's possible." Kevin replied. "Go to your room and go to bed. And Uncle doesn't want to hear rejection" he said.
Viona nodded obediently. "Yes, I happen to be very sleepy. Good Night, Uncle." Viona kisses Kevin's cheek and leaves just like that. Kevin sighed and shook his head looking at her behavior.
Kevin walked into his study. There are some emails he should check. In addition to serving as the Mafia Boss, he is also a CEO at the Zhang family-owned company.

Brugg's...
Amelia's body staggered backwards after accidentally colliding with a handsome man. Amelia lifted her face and looked at the man angrily.
"Hey, Dude. Walk with your eyes, don't you see someone this big walking in front of you?!" amelia. He raised his protest against the man.
"You're a real fool. Everywhere the person walks using feet instead of eyes, for eyes to see are not to walk!!" reply the man chimed.
"You~" Amelia pointed at him right in front of her face. The man actually pissed him off half to death. Without saying anything, he waltzed away leaving the man.
It was really unlucky for him to meet such a person . His intention of coming to the club for fun, he instead meets a guy like him. It really made his mood worse.

The night is getting late. Kevin is still awake. The man stood in front on the glass wall to the right of his bed. His eyes continued to stare out with a flat gaze, the originally bright sky suddenly turned dark and covered in black clouds, maybe it would rain soon.
A knock on the door distracts him. The door opened and Frans was seen entering his room.
"What's up, Frans?" ask Kevin without further ado.
Frans shook his head. "It's okay, sir. I'd just like to have a chat with you, even if I don't interrupt Mr.'s break." Her speech.
"I just happen to not be able to sleep. What do you want to talk to me about?" ask Kevin. He looked at Frans with a questioning look.
Frans did not answer. He didn't know how to tell Kevin. It's not that Frans doesn't want to tell a story, but he doesn't know how to start. Not much Frans told him. Frans only told her she didn't have any relatives.
"It's not important, sir. Just a small talk." replied Frans.
"Oh,"
