Mikel sobbed bitterly, tightening his embrace to Daddy Matthew. He poured out all his yearning for the man who taught him so much about life. It's just that he was too young at the time and didn't pay much heed to every advice and word of his Daddy.
"It turns out you were right Dad, sometimes we can't choose what kind of destiny we want" Mikel said amid a sobbing. "And I've proven to you that I can stand on my feet without your help." Mikel's voice was almost muffled by the sobbing, but Matthew could clearly hear the touching words of their past conversation. Where he once said, Someday you will understand the real life. Therefore, you must be able to stand on your own feet and do not blame fate for anything that happens to you. You won't be able to choose what your destiny will be like. But one thing is certain, if you accept your destiny well, then there will be a miracle that you never thought would happen before.
And this is the answer, in a dozen years he tried to accept his destiny of losing both parents and the events that befell the younger brother, one by one the way was facilitated. He can avenge Franco and the man's death is certainly something of a horror to Todd. All this time he was on the side of people who cared about him like Josh, Sid, Nathan and Elie. Even Arthur still cares about her, he never expected that the man would help her.
Hearing the sentence he had uttered to give a good mindset so that his son was not always fixated on enjoying life, where the people in it were full of lies and theatrics, he said, never even knowing which friends and opponents, anyone could kill slowly, such as a relationship with his stepbrother. Not without reason he had said such a thing, because he was very familiar with the figure of his son at that time, Mikel always toyed and enjoyed youth without thinking about what kind of future he wanted. Especially since long ago, Mikel was always adrift with the figure of one woman who was either still in the heart of her son or not.
In response, Matthew patted Mikel's shoulder repeatedly. His son had grown into a mature man, despite living a painful life.
"Thank you, thank you for being alive" Mikel said, calling out his heart which was literally showered with millions of gratitude he never imagined.
Satisfied to hug Daddy Matthew, Mikel's eyes moved to the figure of a middle-aged woman who still showed her beauty. The middle-aged woman had a hiccup in tears as she brushed down her clothes. Mikel then let go of his embrace, helping Daddy Matthew to stand up. Before then moving forward approached the woman who had given birth to herself.
"Mom...." Mikel crouched down, resting one of his knees on the grass. In his eyes was full of longing for the woman sitting in a wheelchair. Her face was not as full as it used to be, she recalled the words of the man who gave her away if her Mommy health deteriorated. "I'm home Mom." And Mikel hugged the woman of his first love, she shedding all the longing and affection that kept him going all this time.
Mikel's head on Mommy Aprille's lap was targeted by the woman gently rubbing her son's dense hair. Her tears crept down her jaw so that they dripped and wet Mikel's hair.
"What happened to your face, baby?" Still gently stroking Mikel's hair, Mommy Aprille was able to control her crying, because she was really curious about the change in the face of the son. But Mikel clenched his lips tightly, he still wanted to enjoy a moment that he had not felt for a long time. Mommy Aprille understood, her son just wanted to be quiet and enjoy the swab of his palm. "Although your face changes like this, Mom can feel your presence. When I saw the stranger in front of me, my heart trembled. Mom felt Mike's presence, especially when you called us Mom and Dad." There was a moment's pause, Mommy Aprille was silent again, his mind felt far into the past where at that time he always scolded Mikel every time he did a tantrum and even just played around in his lessons. He really misses moments like that.
"What's the matter Mom?" Mikel suddenly lifted his head, he stared softly at his Mommy face. He rubbed the remaining clear liquid on the face of the woman of his first love. "Does Mom feel uncomfortable sitting in a wheelchair like this? If it's uncomfortable let me carry it." Mikel was about to stand up, but his arm was first restrained by Mommy Aprille.
The middle-aged woman commented a faint smile. "Mom is fine. Mom just felt like this was a dream." Mommy Aprille's palm stretched out rubbing Mikel's face that had changed a lot. "You're still handsome, even more handsome. Tell me, have some women you dated?" Mommy Aprille's eyes were round, giving full warning that her son was not as varied as the advice he had given in the past.
Mikel chuckled, the corner of his eye again melting the tears. It was such a nagging thing that he had always missed from Mommy Aprille. "No woman can replace Elie" she said, grabbing Mommy Aprille's hand and repeatedly dipping it.
"really?" Mommy Aprille was so enthusiastic. And answered a nod of the head by Mikel.
The conversation between mother and son did not go unnoticed by Matthew, Josh and the two men. They stared at the full haru and Matthew rubbed the corner of his eyes that were wet again. The smile of the wife returned as before, although always smiling at her, but the smile that was shown to hold a deep sadness. And at this time he again saw the smile of his beloved wife who was without burden.
"Sir..." Matthew gasped as a familiar voice called out to him. He immediately turned his head and turned his body to face the man who was his confidant.
Both of Josh's eyes were glazed. What he saw in front of him was his master. "I'm so happy to see Mr and Mrs alive and well."
Matthew shook for a moment, then he walked over and hugged Josh's body, which was reciprocated by Josh's embrace. "Thank you for taking care of Mike all this time," his inner heart was sincere and let go of their embrace. Matthew longed to say so, but only from his embrace did he hope that Josh could feel his expression of gratitude.
"It's my job to protect and protect Young Master Mike. To me Young Master Mike and Miss Mei are already like my sons and daughters." Josh understood what his master wanted to say. Their relationship used to be very close, not just superiors and subordinates. Josh's eyes that imply sincerity. She loved Mike and Meisha. The two become a drug that heals his downturn when he loses his wife and daughter who died in an accident eleven years ago. It happened one month before the events Todd attacked at that time. That was why for the rest of his life he would only devote his life to the Jhonson Family until the end of his life.
Hearing Meisha's name being mentioned, Matthew circulated his gaze. He was looking for a little girl who was always spoiled for him.
"Where's May?" Her lips language asked Meisha for whereabouts. His eyes began to grow suspicious. "Where is he, Josh? Where's my daughter?" Matthew shook Josh's shoulders in a voice that did not come out, even though he was already shouting. Bad thoughts began to fill his head, he did not want to hear if Meisha was gone, despite the fact that he had always admired it like that. But seeing Mike still alive, Matthew also wants Meisha to live like Mike.
"Miss May...." Just now Josh wanted to answer, but was reduced by the arrival of an old man with jaws overgrown with long feathers that reached the neck.
***
The arrival of Mikel reached the ears of the elder there, so that the old man who was similar to Grandpa Mateo with his confidants stopped his steps when he witnessed the moment of the union of one family that had been separated, so far, trusting each other if it's gone without ever thinking if they're still living in a different place.
Little story about the Jhonson Family, only the elder knew about it. In fact, he secretly guarded Matthew and Aprille from people who had wanted evil intentions and he was given confidence by Mateo not to let strangers meet them without his consent. During this time the elder had occasionally communicated with Mateo, only it had been several months since he had last contacted Mateo, the man who was his age had never contacted him again.
Some disinterested people waited outside, as the building did not quite accommodate many people.
"I'm happy if Matt and Aprille's sons are still alive. Mateo has told me a lot about you. Turns out it's true what he said, you're a dashing, handsome young man." The old man who was commonly called the elder in Svaneti Village smiled kindly.
"Thank you, you praise me too much" Mikel said with a smile. He was confused to call the name of the old man in front of him, because he had not introduced himself since.
"Call me Yasen. All the residents here call me that" he said and Mikel nodded in understanding. "But where's Mateo? Why didn't he come with you?" Yasen's eyes stared alternately at Mikel and Josh.
Mikel looked at Josh, then alternately turned his gaze to his parents who also demanded an answer from him.
Mikel was seen taking a deep breath, before he replied, "Grandfather Mateo died one day before I came here." And he told me what happened to Grandpa Mateo, which made Matthew, Aprille and Yasen very surprised.
"W-how is that possible?" Mommy Aprille shut her mouth in disbelief. His shoulders trembled, he was of course deeply saddened to hear the news of the grief that had befallen Mateo, the man they had considered a replacement for Gustavo. Matthew rubbed his wife's shoulders, he was so devastated by the death of Mateo who was a helper god for himself and his wife.
"Someone molested Grandpa Mateo, I came late." And Mikel recounts another incident, making the story as if Grandpa Mateo had been robbed and persecuted. But Matthew did not believe it, there must be something that happened before Mateo's death. He would ask his son later, though he could not speak, but he could ask through writing.
Yasen dropped both shoulders, he could not believe that his friend had gone before him. "It's a shame that you're Mateo's fate, but you must be happy to meet your beloved wife."
All who heard were looking down on each other, creating a long silence.
"May?" Suddenly Mommy Aprille mentioned the name of her daughter Meisha. "Mike, where's Mei? Where's your sister?" Highlight Mommy's eyes urged Mikel to answer her immediately.
"May...."
"Say, what happened to Mei?" Mommy Aprille's voice interrupted Mikel who was about to reply, the middle-aged woman was suddenly anxious and confused. He didn't want to hear if his daughter wasn't as lucky as his son.
Josh who got a sharp look from Matthew was only able to lower his head. He did not dare to tell Meisha the truth, if his young master was so hesitant to tell.
"I'll take you to England and meet Mei."
Anxiety that once hit the mind of Aprille and Matthew suddenly vanished when their son will bring them to meet Meisha. It was marked if their daughter was still alive.
