Rise 17 - Questions

"Once again mama reminded me, don't worry about Isaac too much. Because after all, he was happy to stay here. Regarding the lesson, you will ask secretary Lim to find the best private teacher to teach it" Tasya said.

"Well if you say so" murmured Gerald. The man basically could not do much if Tasya had made up his mind. And Donna as well. They both know the nature of the woman who became their parents.

"In that case, we say goodbye first, ma.." said Donna.

"Yes, be careful on the road. Oh, and George! Bring this for you." Tasya gave a snack that had been wrapped.

While Gerald disliked George and loved Isaac more in every way, Tasya never distinguished between his two grandchildren. The woman was able to be fair to the two brothers who became her grandchildren.

"When, you stay here too, huh?"

"Yes, I'll stay the night when I'm off, Grandma." George nodded slowly.

"good. Then grandma will wait for you to come."

...*...

I'm really curious to know what's underlying Grandpa so hated about George. But what do I have to do to find out?

Do I have to ask him directly?

But how will he react later?

I'm just afraid that Grandpa is suddenly angry when I ask this.

After all, it seems grandpa was very busy this morning.

Isaac looked at Gerson who was still busy checking some files in hand. Occasionally the man turned his eyes to the computer screen in front of him.

"Ehem!" Isaac cleared his throat in panic. He glanced at Gerson who was still a henchman with his work.

"Grandfather! Can I ask you something?" tanyanya ventured. As much as possible, Isaac put on his dulled face.

Gerson glanced at him at a glance and then back at his computer screen.

"What do you want to ask?"

Glup!

Isaac swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.

Let's just ask! It is better to ask than to remain silent about a question I do not know the answer to. Isaac convinced himself.

"I just want to know why Grandpa doesn't seem to like George so much?" he said that ended with bated breath, trying to prepare himself from his grandfather's spray.

Gerson was silent for a moment upon hearing his words just now. His face suddenly turned terrifying.

With a sharp look, he glanced at Isaac who had started to let out cold sweat.

His gaze was truly intimidating, inner Isaac while lowering his head.

Nah! I can't look scared. I need to be able to control my face and act as much as possible like an innocent child who doesn't know anything, that way I'll be able to deal with it. If I was scared like this, grandfather would realize that I was asking something I shouldn't have asked.

Isaac took a breath and exhaled it repeatedly until he felt calmer.

Before long, he changed his face to look plain in Gerson's eyes.

"Grandpa doesn't like him because he's a kid who can't stay still and does things often" Gerson said after a moment of silence.

Isaac heaved a sigh of relief as it turned out that Gerson was not angry at all, even the man spoke with normal intonation as before.

"really? Since when grandpa is not —"

"Have it, don't ask too many questions. Grandpa a lot of work, if you continue to disturb grandfather, maybe grandfather's work is not finished. Later if that's the case, grandfather can't play with you, right?"

"Sorry.." Isaac clenched his mouth quickly. Head bowed.

I thought something was weird. From the answer earlier, there was a pause long enough before the grandfather finally replied. That means it can be ascertained that there is something that grandfather is hiding.

Butwhat? What was Grandpa hiding to the point that he didn't like George and why didn't he want to be honest?

...*...

It sucks! I didn't think he was starting to dare to fight me. He usually never fought.

What's up with him now? Is it because grandparents love him more, so he thinks he can do his best?

I had wanted to teach him a lesson for daring to fight me, but it turned out to be smarter than I thought. He immediately ran away as soon as he finished breakfast, to the point that I did not have time to make him regret having already replied to my words.

George was silent as he looked out the window. Throughout the journey, his mind continued to be filled by the events at the dinner table this morning. When Isaac unexpectedly replied to his sentence, and irritated him with his arbitrary attitude.

"I'm really worried. Is it okay we let Isaac stay in papa's house?" asked Donna with a troubled face. He kept thinking about his little son.

"Isaac will be fine. It looks like he can act ordinary anyway, right? Mama just seemed not aware that Isaac was experiencing memory loss," said Gerald who is now sitting in the steering wheel while watching the road.

"But it still makes me nervous. What if mom or dad realized that Isaac had lost his memory? That's gonna be a problem. We're gonna be pissed off, and Isaac could stay longer at papa's house. I don't want that to happen…"

Gerald glanced at the woman who was his wife. Grabbing and clasping her hands, trying to calm the woman down.

"Everything will be fine. You don't have to worry about that. Isaac is a smart kid, so I'm sure he won't say anything about this, either to papa or to mama. I wish you could be more calm."

"If Isaac continues to live in papa's house, then it will be more difficult for us to monitor his condition and make sure his memory is recovered or not, right?"

"We can come to him at any time. Anyway only at papa's house. We visit him every morning to make sure. So, don't worry anymore, okay?"

"Huft~ alright, I will try not to worry too much about this," muttered Donna as she sighed softly.

While the two continue to talk, it is different with George who has since clenched his hands tightly.

He was really annoyed by the talk of his parents who continued to discuss and worry about Isaac while he was there—in between them, but completely ignored.

I really hate him. He took everything from me! his inner.

After traveling far enough, they finally stopped the car they were riding in front of the elementary school gate which was none other than where George was studying.

George immediately stepped out with the bag on his back, saying goodbye to Donna and Gerald before finally stepping towards the entrance gate there.
