THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 114. Tell Leo.

“Dek?”

The young man of responsibility approached the three people who were sitting on the sofa of the parlour living room.

The steps are so slow. His feet were under heavy weight. Difficult to move.

“Kak, who I told you was lying, right?” Ask the brother. The teenager sat down in front of a woman who was 5 years older.

“What do you mean, deck?” Laura's feelings are starting to get bad. Is it possible that the younger brother heard their talk?

“Mother said I looked like Mr. Damian when I was a teenager. That's a lie, right, brother?” Leo stared at the vision of his brother. And that beautiful bead started to condense.

Leo's head shook. He did not want to hear if he fared the same as his other siblings, was thrown out, and abandoned by his biological parents.

“Kak Ed, answer?” The young man turned to look at the sister-in-law who was sitting to the right of Laura. Because Laura didn't answer.

“Leo, listen to me. We talk well.” Edward shifted his body, gave a space between himself and his wife, then asked Leo to sit between them. While Maria's mother sat on the sofa single.

Laura breathed slowly. These are the moments that the young woman is looking forward to. And it turned out that everything happened as hard as he had imagined.

“Speak, La. You are more entitled to tell your sister.” Said Maria's mother.

Laura's head nodded slowly. Then she looked at her husband. The man gave a nod of his head as support.

“Dek. forgive sister. Brother didn't mean to lie to you.” Laura paused her speech, she deliberately waited for the reaction of her sister.

“Tell me, brother. I'll listen.”

Laura grabbed her sister's hand. Then hold tightly. He seeks the strength to reveal the truth about Leo.

“Dek, ,. Actually—,” Laura really can't talk, her tongue immediately boned.

Edward, who saw his wife holding back tears, moved. The man sat on the left side of the woman he loved so much. Clutching a slightly shaky shoulder restrained the cry.

“Speak slowly, baby.” The man whispered. Gently he rubbed Laura's shoulders, trying to give her some calmness.

Laura took a slow breath and let out her breath.

‘Dad, mom. Help me talk. I can't stand it. Really.’

“Dek, actually.” Laura wiped the tears unexcusedly down her cheek.

“Actually, we are not siblings.”

Degs..

Leo gasped to hear the brother's words, a sentence he had been afraid of, turned out to be true.

The young man's head shook his head, he tried to remove his hand from Laura's grasp, but the woman further tightened her grip.

“Kak, his jokes are not funny.” The teenager's vision began to condense.

Laura was only able to shake a little. He also wished that this was a joke.

“But that's the reality, deck.”

With tears in her eyes, Laura tells the beginning of her father finding Leo.

The teenager tried to accept, even though in his heart he refused. A few days ago, he had noticed Damian's face, it was true he felt if they had any resemblance. Leo tried to stop him.

“Because of you, I founded this place. I don't want to see more and more abandoned children out there.”

“Let go of my hand, brother.”

“No, brother will not let you go. Brother doesn't want you to go, deck. You can be angry, but don't leave brother.” Laura's tears were spilled without being able to be held.

With a swift, Edward rubbed the cheek of the wife who had been wet.

“You remember, we promised at the graves of father and mother, we would never leave each other, even if we had a fight? You remember, we promised we'd take care of the parlour, too, until we got old? You may be angry with your brother, but please, do not leave this place. Here's our house, dek.”

“I won't go, sis.”

But Laura still did not want to let go of his grasp.

Silence, none of them spoke. Mary's mother could only cry in silence.

He is a living witness to the story of the establishment of this orphanage. Knowing Laura's parents from her early teens, Laura's father came to ask for help when he wanted to arrange a permit to establish a place for the orphan.

“Is Mr Damian really my biological parents?” Leo asked a question.

“Kakak don't know, deck. There's no clue about your parents. In fact, dad had reported to the head of the territory here, but no one came to look for you.”

“Leo, would you leave us, if your biological parents came?” Maria's mother asked a question.

“No, mom. Home here. My family is here too. Where might I leave you.”

“Dek?” Laura stared in disbelief at the reply from the 16-year-old teenager.

Leo pulled out one hand, he used the detached hand to hold the older brother's hand.

“Kak, I really can't accept all this. I wish this was just a joke. But, if this is indeed the reality, I promise I will never leave this place.”

With teary eyes, Leo looked at the older brother.

“I grew up in this place full of affection, without you guys, maybe I wouldn't exist until now. So, there is no reason for me to leave this place, even if my biological parents come to offer luxury.”

Hearing the series of sentences spoken from his sister's lips, immediately made Laura scatter into the arms of the young man.

He shed all his tears in the arms of his sister. Although not his siblings, but they were raised together. Many bonds had been established between the two of them, exceeding the bonds of blood.

“Im sorry brother, deck. Brother didn't mean to cover this up from you. If you may ask, you do not want to reveal any of this. Brother wants you to forever consider us siblings. But, the arrival of Mr. Damian scares you, brother is afraid you are leaving brother.”

Leo gently rubbed Laura's back. Nor did he expect to hear this fact. How all this time he saw his sisters who were abandoned by their parents. And it turns out that he had the same fate. Even feel it first.

Edward, who was sitting behind Laura, gently rubbed the woman's back. Although he never willing the wife close to another man, but this time his ego relented. This is not the time to be angry or jealous.

“Mother very much hopes, the brotherhood among you will remain like this. Even if you are separated later. Keep loving each other.”

Laura and Leo break off the hug. They compactly approached Mary's mother, and bowed before the middle-aged woman.

“Bu, thank you for taking care of us all this time. Thank you, mom for giving up mom time to take care of the kids here.” Laura clasped Maria's mother's hand, then kissed her.

“Thank you too, because my mother and sisters can have a decent home. I promise, I'll take care of this place. As wanted by father and mother.” Leo also took Mary's mother's hand.

“Come.” Mary's mother clasped her two children's shoulders, then clenched at the same time.

“Mother loves you. Be people who are always loving, and afraid of God.”

Mary's mother took off her arms, she turned to Leo. Turn around clutching the teenager's fingers.

“If your parents come later, meet them well. Because they are you in this world. After that, make a decision according to your heart. If you really want to stay here, say it well to your parents.”

Leo nodded. He understood what Mary's mother had said.

The three of them embraced back. This made Edward feel overwhelmed. He rubbed the corner of his eyes that were watering.

‘May Damian or Teresha not be troublesome in later days.’
