The Devil's Touch
#148


In his room Aberto just sat in a chair while smoking. Beside him Smith just stood watching.


"Have my wife gone home?" ask her.


"Mrs Rhea hasn't returned yet Mr ..."


Aberto breathes out a rough breath. "From last night he still hasn't come home!" the upset.


Smith looked at Aberto for a moment and then looked down again.


"Magma what are you doing?" ask Aberto now.


"Young master is studying in his room, sir" Smith said.


Aberto nodded and moved from her chair to go to Magma's room leaving Smith alone in the room.


The old man opened the door to his son's room. At that time he was thirty years old married to a woman named Rhea Anasya who was far below his age. Seventeen years.


They were only given a son after their marriage lasted ten years. When Aberto was forty years old he had just become a father and now the middle-aged man was fifty years old.


"Magma .." call her.


Magma who was sitting at the study table turned her head.


"Father .." he smiled.


Aberto sat on the bed, Magma came down from her chair and sat down beside Aberto.


"Well, mama?" ask her.


Aberto breathed. "Mama's still at her friend's house ..."


A disappointed look from Magma. Rhea often left her house and rarely went home.


Aberto rubbed the head of Magma. "You don't hate your mother, do you, Magma?"


Magma nodded doubtfully. Aberto breathed.


"Look, Papa and Mama have to go to Country X. You're here with the waiters ..."


Both of Magma's eyes were staring at her father, there was sadness in both of Magma's eyes.


"Why are you always busy?" ask her innocently. "Why always leave me alone ..."


"Magma ..."


Magma brushed Aberto's hand off his head. "It's okay .. just go, I'm used to myself ..."


Magma got out of bed and went back to her desk. Aberto sighed harshly, were it not Rhea's request that she help Felix, she would not have gone to Country X to invite trouble with the Yakuza and Antraxs.

His night Aberto really intends to leave, he sits in the living room waiting for Rhea to come home. Ten minutes later the front door opened, Aberto turned his head, saw his wife walking towards him and sat in front of Aberto, Smith just standing beside the sofa.


"How long does it take to get rid of Maxime?" ask Rhea not to talk anymore.


"You look so excited, Rhea" Aberto said in a hoarse voice and took a cup of tea at the table and gulped it in half.


"I just want the problem to be solved quickly" said Rhea.


Smith shook his head slowly, the article he did not think through with the attitude of his mistress who always wanted to act quickly without thinking about the consequences.


Rhea clucking. "Have it, leave it alone .. don't get used to being spoiled. He's a boy."


Magma who heard their talk upstairs could only bend her face and then go back to her room. Always like that, Rhea always considered herself spoiled even though Magma also wanted the attention of her mother.

"Grand ... Kwek .. kwekk ..." Oris made a sound while keeping some dinner menu on the table.


Miwa held back her smile, Tessa just silently did not understand why Oris suddenly sounded like a duck.


In the kitchen, Miwa told Oris that Maxime finally wanted to ride the ducks, even though the man previously hated the ducks.


Maxime clucked to hear Oris relentlessly taunting him.


"Master ..." call Oris.


"What?!" ask Maxime annoyed.


"Grand ... Kwek .. kwekk ..."


Maxime hissed in annoyance and Oris walked away from the dinner table laughing. Milan and Arsen smiled as they shook their heads.


"Why him?" Ask Tessa.


Miwa. "Meledek Kak Maxi ..."


"Medek what?"


"Sister Maxi rode the ducks earlier," said Miwa as she chuckled softly.


Tessa widened her eyes in disbelief and turned her gaze to look towards Milan who was eating.


"Eh how about we go to the playground?" take Miwa so excited.


"Come .." said Milan no less spirit.


"Hey, how old are you. You still want to go there!" maxime Sahut.


"I want to ride the culprits wrong? romantic right, Maxi and Milan. Me and Arsen."


Tessa snorted violently because she felt unregulated at the dinner table, she kept the spoon and fork in her hand violently and left them all.


Maxime and the others just frowned confusedly.


"Why else is he?" ask Miwa.


Maxime. "Leave it ..."


Milan looked at the departure of Tessa who was climbing the stairs, looking annoyed.


In Tessa's room sitting on her sofa, she changed positions several times because she felt uncomfortable and felt upset herself was always not considered by others since the existence of Milan.


Suddenly his phone vibrated, he took his phone in his pocket and opened the incoming message from someone.


Daniel : Hi Tessa ...
