Austin was refreshed after cleaning up. He immediately put on his clothes and picked up the soda cans that were already available in his room, then stepped onto the balcony.
Gazing at the vast expanse of the courtyard, Austin was pensively pensive with his occasional sip of a drink. The tail of his eyes glanced briefly upon hearing the footsteps of someone approaching towards him.
"Are you sure of your decision, As?" Arthur raised the question without making small talk. Sipped soft canned drink after pulling the can tab ring to hole.
Austin did not immediately reply, he gulped back his drink. "Come," he said, with a shrug of both shoulders. He himself was not so sure of his actions. "I just want to make sure of something" he continued after a few days of careful thought.
"Well, I'll take care of everything when you're there." Arthur patted Austin on the shoulder to encourage him. "But remember, only six months. After that you should return when the cooperation contract has been agreed!"
"Hum..." In response, Austin cleared his throat while sipping his soft drink to the toilet. "I must be back" he murmured. After making sure of something, he would definitely return with a new purpose and determination.
Arthur actually heard the younger brother muttering, but he did not want to ask much. Whatever Austin did was of his own free will. And of course as an older brother, he had to support his sister to further spread his wings in the business world.

Mommy Elleana wiped the corner of her endless flowing eyes. He had to be seen smiling before Austin, though it was very hard to let go of his youngest son who was leaving today to a place so far from Europe.
"If it doesn't go well with the food there, call Mommy. Mommy's going to deliver the groceries from here" said Mommy wiping Austin's arm.
Austin chuckled small. Since morning her mother has repeatedly said so. "I'll be fine as long as I'm there, Mom. No need to worry, Kak Ar has prepared an apartment and several household assistants for me," he explained. "The next time Bas comes with me, he'll have an apartment with me."
Yes, Mommy Elleana had heard it directly from Arthur, but still she was worried about Austin's situation in the foreign country.
Mommy Elleana just nodded. And Daddy Xavier who was by his side hugged their youngest son briefly.
"Dad has contacted Uncle Adam, you can come anytime to his Mansion" he patted Austin's broad shoulder.
"Thank you, Dad. But there was no need to bother Uncle Adam and his family. I just want to settle in the apartment." Because if he settled in another person's Mansion, he felt uncomfortable.
"As far as you go." Daddy Xavier is not pushy. Because he freed Austin to do anything.
Austin nodded, then turned to his older sister. "It's a pity that I can't see Elie's big sister's belly later" he said chuckling.
Elie also chuckled. Both of his eyes turned red from crying. "I'll send you a picture of me every day, you should also know the progress of the baby twins."
"Your husband will be jealous of me, my sister" joked.
Mike who was at Elie's side threw a crisp laugh. He might be jealous of his own brother-in-law. Then he patted Austin on the shoulder.
"Please be good there. Don't date a lot of Asian girls." Mike chuckled at the end of his sentence.
Austin chuckled, but neither responded nor denied. She has the ideal type of woman and certainly not an Asian girl or woman.
He then said goodbye to Arthur. "Sister Ar, I go first" he said and exchanged hugs with his older brother.
"Yes, be careful. I'll send someone to help you with your work there" Arthur said.
Austin nodded and his gaze moved on his sister-in-law to say goodbye.
"Be careful while you're there and take care of your health." The message that Helena gave was just like Mommy Elleana who had always said that since morning.
Austin nodded back. Before he actually left, he kissed Baby Ace and Baby Lyora who were in the stroller. It was hard for him to leave London because he could not play with his two nephews. Swab the faces of Baby Ace and Baby Lyora alternately, before Austin gets into the car. Elden, Liam and Gavin also drove themselves to London Heathrow Airport.
Along the way no one opened their voices. Gavin, who was driving his car, just glanced at Austin through the rearview mirror. Honestly, he felt shocked when he heard that Austin had a job outside Europe which is the Asian continent. And go for six months or so.
"Take care of yourself As" they said simultaneously.
Austin chuckles. He felt that they were too much, for he had only been gone a few months, not gone for many years or would not return.
And now Austin is facing each other with Gavin. Both of them felt awkward for whatever reason, before then Gavin who first hugged Austin that made his friend gasp. He was confused between returning Gavin's embrace or not. But I don't think he has the right to be angry. Austin returned Gavin's embrace. The two patted each other on the back, before they finally broke each other's arms.
"Be careful while you're there. Take care of your health." However, Gavin is not just a good friend, but just like his brother Liam and Elden. Gavin was so kind and always considerate, that it felt like Austin had no loophole to hate the man.
"Yes, thank you. You too." Austin reviewed a faint smile, then punched Gavin in the left chest as they usually do.
Gavin chuckles. Both seem to have no problem, only they harbor a sense that they themselves do not understand. Elden and Liam exchanged glances, at least they were happy that Austin and Gavin's relationship had improved after the incident a few weeks ago, where they had a fight.
Not wanting to buy any longer, Austin finally entered the departure gate and in there was Bastian waiting for him. Then the two immediately stepped together, before finally being swallowed up with those passing by.

Two hours after Austin left, Mommy Elleana played with her grandchildren in the television room. Baby Ace was left lying on a thick, fluffy carpet. Because Baby Ace and Baby Lyora are very happy when put to sleep there.
"Dear, it's time for you to take a shower." Satisfied playing with Baby Ace, Mommy Elleana holds her grandson. Because it was time to take a bath, so he would bathe his two grandchildren.
"Mom, let me bathe Ace and Lyo." Suddenly Helena came by holding Baby Lyora.
"It's okay, let Mommy bathe them and dress them up." Mommy Elleana was so happy while bathing her two grandchildren. But still Helena felt bad about her mother-in-law.
Even so, Helena still let Mommy Elleana bathe baby twins, because it was not hearty to reject the wishes of Mommy Elleana who was so happy when taking care of her two grandchildren.
Helena wanted to follow the steps of her mother-in-law who had already left the room. However, his steps immediately stopped when he faintly heard the news of the plane crash on the television screen that was still on.
"Veople, a European Airlines (EA) flight this afternoon bound for Indonesia, were declared to have crashed in the English Channel. Before falling into the sea, the fuselage first exploded in the air. It is not yet clear how many passengers survived the 118 passengers, including the crew."
Duarr
Like being struck by lightning, Helena who heard the news almost dazed to make Baby Lyora who was in her trunk almost fell. Luckily Arthur who had just been there immediately caught their daughter.
"What's up, hm? You almost made our daughter fall."
Indeed Helena was unable to speak, even to understand her husband's words felt so difficult. His body suddenly became trembling. So that makes Arthur anxious, but then follow the direction of the wife's eyes are fixed on the television screen.
Arthur's reaction was the same as Helena's freezing moment, like a boulder hitting their chest.
"It's impossible." Arthur shook his head in disbelief if the plane was boarded by his brother and his assistant exploded and fell in the English Channel.
