The 3rd Generation
Chapters. 48

Zion drives her sports car at high speed. The man did not want to constantly think about Livy's feelings. Zion has decided never to return Livy's love. They're brothers. That status became a benchmark for Zion to reject Livy's feelings. In addition, Zion does not want to be close or familiar with any woman in the near future. Norah and Daisy are the women who are always close to him. Zion was never willing to open her heart to any woman.

“Why should I? Will this be the end of our brotherhood? Will my relationship with Livy be like an enemy?” mumbling Zion. He glanced at his phone in the car dashboar. Seeing that phone call from Norah, he immediately picked it up. The man also missed Norah very much. These days the woman has no news. While picking up Norah's phone call, Zion lowers her car's speed.

“Halo, Brother. I'm home!” shouted Norah.

Zion scrunched her forehead. “Go home? When?”

“Today? There are some items that I have to deliver to Opa Zen's house. So, I have to go home.”

“What stuff?”

“I don't know either. Opa Kenzo gave it to him. He didn't allow me to open it,” Norah replied as she was.

“Good. Do you want me to join?”

“No. Take care of Daisy. Later let me meet brother and Daisy at Yale University after the order Opa Kenzo managed to send to Opa Zen.”

“Norah, how are you? Are you never late for a meal?”

“No. GrandNa took good care of me. Sis, I'm happy to stay at this place.”

Zion smiled happily at him. It was exactly what he expected. Wherever her sister is, she should always be happy. Not sad and a lot of thoughts as he is now experiencing.

“Tell me if you've reached Opa Zen's house. I'll take Daisy there.”

“Kak, is Abio still there?”

Hearing Abio's name created a sense of guilt in Zion. However, he did not want to tell this love triangle. Zion knows how Norah. If the woman came to know, she would definitely contact Livy and scold the woman all out. In the end, it wasn't Zion and Livy who were fighting. But everyone got into a fight and their brotherly relationship which had been fine had become a mess.

“Ya.”

“Is he still chasing after Livy's sister?”

“Yes, apparently. Sister also does not know,” lie Zion.

“Looks like she's in love with Livy's sister. But if you look around again Abio is handsome. But, why did he choose Brother Livy?”

“Oh yes? Is she more handsome than sister?”

Norah laughed at hearing that. Rarely was her brother narcissistic like this. “Of course more handsome Zion,” replied Norah with a small laugh.

“Sister is still on the way. We will continue again.”

“I also want to get ready, Brother. Before leaving I'll tell brother again.”

The phone call ended. Zion is back in focus with the pace of her car. The rain began to fall with the strong wind that was so cold. Zion sighed because she thought of Livy again. How painful that woman is. She must be crying somewhere right now.

“I'm sorry, Livy. This is the best for all of us.”

Just like Zion thought. Now Livy is walking slowly on the edge of the road that has a lot of puddles because of the rain falling rapidly. Crying in the rain made everyone not know he was crying. The Filast's men don't leave Livy alone. They've been persuading Livy to even get her in the car. But the woman remained stubborn. He endured under the torrent of rain and drove out anyone who gave him an umbrella. He's disappointed. He wants to be angry. What's wrong with him loving Zion? Why should Zion be angry? Why did he have to change his attitude? Why not just forget what happened.

“What is my lack? Was I that bad until Brother Zion hated me?” Livy kneels down. Her chest feels so tight. Livy doesn't even have any face left to meet Zion and the others. He was sure that this news would quickly spread and reach the ears of others. But the truth is not like that. It is precisely Zion keeps the matter close so that no one knows about it.

Suddenly someone is poking Livy. The woman thinks the Philast army did it. “I said go!” shouted Livy. He needs time to be alone. “Go!”

The umbrella stayed there. The person holding the umbrella was not afraid of Livy's scream. It made Livy more emotional. He stood up and immediately twisted his body. He will teach a lesson to those who are not guided by his command.

“What are you deaf!” Livy did not so stretch his sentence to see the person standing in front of him was not the army of The Filast. The woman clenched her hands and wiped away her tears. Actually without her wiping away her tears, the man in front also knew that Livy was crying.

“What are you doing here? You're still sick. You shouldn't be raining like this,” protest Livy. He turned his face away from looking at Abio's face for too long.

“You yourself what are you doing? You're hurt because your love was rejected by Zion and then you tortured yourself?”

Livy looked at Abio's face with a dislike look. Even though Abio's guess was correct, he still didn't want to admit it. “You are wrong! I like the rain. Rain shower like this becomes a pleasant fit for me.”

“Sooking?” keep Abio again. “I just found out if anyone has a unique hobby like yourself.” Abio threw the umbrella he was carrying until he was also drenched in the rain. “I also want to enjoy this hobby that you enjoy, Livy.”

“Abio, what the hell is this?” Abio's unwilling Livy falls ill again, deciding to pick up the umbrella lying on the street. However, Abio quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into a hug. The man rubbed Livy's back hair while closing his eyes.

“Let me make you happy. I promise I will never make a wound in your heart. I promise to keep you happy,” Abio said with sincerity. Livy just kept quiet. He did not refuse nor hugged Abio. The woman stood like a statue with a position embraced by Abio.

“I do need a shoulder to lean on. I feel tired. I need someone who understands my feelings,” Livy muttered inwardly.

Norah's re-examining her luggage. Actually, the items he would bring were not too much. However, when all the items are collected in one suitcase, it seems that very much does not even fit. The stuff that Norah carries averages accessories for him in disguise. Such as fake hair, masks, masks, hats and even some glasses. Norah could not die from such things because it was not easy to obtain.

“Oke, everything is neat. Time to leave.” Norah glanced at the box of Kenzo's chocolate dips she was going to give to Zeroun. Norah was actually very curious to see the contents inside. However, he could not open it without the consent of the owner.

“Good. After I met Opa Zen. I will ask Opa Zen to open it in front of me,” Norah muttered inwardly. He immediately left the room to give orders to the waiter to immediately bring his belongings to the car.

Unordered, several men enter Norah's room after Norah leaves. Norah immediately went downstairs. He wanted to say goodbye to GrandNa before leaving. The plane leaves in half an hour. Norah still had time to chat with Serena.

“GrandNa!” shouted Norah. Serena who was sitting in the living room could only smile at her granddaughter. Seeing Norah was like seeing Leona when she was young.

“Darling, are you leaving?”

“Ya, GrandNa.” Norah hugged Serena from behind before dipping her. “I'll be back soon.”

“Ya, GrandNa know. Call GrandNa when you get to.”

Norah went around the sofa and sat down next to Serena. The woman smiled sweetly while looking at Serena deeply. “What does GrandNa love me?”

“Sure GrandNa loves you, Norah. You're my grandson.”

“I also really love GrandNa.” Norah hugged Serena so tightly. The woman was not willing to leave Serena alone in the house.

“GrandNa, must miss you very much Norah.”

“I'm just going for a minute. Why is GrandNa so sad?” norah murmured in the heart.

Serena took off her embrace. He took a necklace and gave it to Norah. Norah accepted it but frowned. The necklace is so beautiful. Norah does not like wearing necklaces. But to please Serena. He will accept and wear the necklace.

“This is a necklace for you, Norah. For Daisy, my grandmother sent her to Daisy's school last night. Grandma bought the same necklace for you and Daisy. But with a different pendant. You're blue and Daisy is white.”

“What does it mean from the color of this pendant, GrandNa?” Norah noticed the circular pendant.

“Red means strength and wisdom. That's for Zion. But because he's a man. GrandNa replaced it with a bracelet. White means simplicity and purity. Like Daisy. GrandNa hopes Daisy stays the way she is now. Not into the dark world. Blue is a symbol of four things. Trust, loyalty, responsibility and security. GrandNa I guess, you're the one who matches that color. Because those four things are on you, Norah.”

Norah was stunned to hear it. “GrandNa, Norah will not disappoint GrandNa.”

“Thank you, dear.” Serena hugged Norah once more. The woman shed tears. They will meet again because Norah is only gone for a little while. But, for some reason Serena heavily let Norah go.

“What's wrong with GrandNa? Why does GrandNa keep crying? Is GrandNa not willing for me to stay? Wasn't it yesterday GrandNa herself who asked me to deliver the goods of Opa Kenzo?” norah murmured in the heart.
