The Journey
The Part 16

"who are you?!" said Alex who now has been standing in front of Irene, covering the body of Irene from the view of people in front of her and do not forget the sharp gaze that Alex threw to the person in front of them.

"oh chill boy, I won't hurt you" replied the person in front of him with a big smile

Alex frowned as he looked at the smile of the person in front of him and started looking at that person from top to bottom. Brown hair along the chin, a wide smile that enough to make Alex think if his lips will be torn because of that smile, white t-shirt clothes with black jeans and white sneakers. Looks ordinary and harmless but Alex is sure if the person in front of them this could make things that can not be predicted.

"oh my, I really won't hurt you and your sister. Well at least I don't wanna die now" said the man in front of him while looking around them where many people who see them and do not lag behind the security of the school that is already around them anticipate the actions that might occur

(well at least I don't want to die now)

Alex looked at the surroundings for a moment and turned his gaze back at the man in front of him still with a look of caution, although he knew if the bodyguards who guarded them from a distance were ready to ambush people in front of him, but their position was still quite far and took some time to get to his place.

"oh right, you must have been wary of me for not knowing me. My name is kelvin, I am your uncle's right-hand man who helped complete his work" Kelvin said with a cheerful tone and a smile

There was no response from Alex or irene, they still remained silent and looked at Kelvin with their watchful gaze let alone they thought Kelvin was strange. They certainly know the meaning of 'work' that kelvin said but did not rule out the possibility if the person who claimed their uncle's right hand was the enemy of the uncle.

It was a quiet moment after Kelvin didn't get any response from Alex and irene, kelvin scratched the back of his head that was not itchy when he saw the intense gaze of Alex and Irene who saw him like a madman who had run away from a mental hospital.

Plaque!

The sound of the slap sounded loud enough to make everyone who was watching grimaced in pain, a sweet smile appeared on Alex and Irene's faces when they saw the cross-sectional performer.

"ouch! Hell is sick" Kelvin said after someone slapped the back of his head violently even Kelvin hesitated that the man was withholding his power

"i told you to pick them up, but why are you looking for trouble?!" said Marcus who is a cross section player and saw Kelvin who was still grimacing in sharp pain

"how do I know I'm just following your orders but they're ready to kill me" Kelvin said after seeing the surroundings where Alex and Irene's security and bodyguards were preparing to disable his movements

"hey kids, how's school Hm?" marcus asked Alex and Irene who were now running small towards him.

"I love it, uncle know that the lesson was easy easy all that the teacher taught me was I learned while in Italy so I was a bit bored" alex said with eagerness upon his arrival in front of his uncle

Marcus chuckles a little when he sees Alex in front of him who is very excited to tell him about how easy the lessons taught to make Marcus 'of course easy because your learning has reached the junior class' , then Marcus turned to look at Irene who had just looked at him without blinking.

"then what about you, sweetie?" marcus asked still with his smile to Irene who was still staring at him

Marcus swiftly held onto Irene while rubbing Irene's back gently making irene become sleepy again. While Alex who knows if Irene will fall asleep again pulled Irene's legs to make Irene disturbed and hardened - the movement of her legs so that Alex's hands released.

"ih.. loose!" said Irene who tried to take her foot off Alex's tight grip

"don't sleep! You slept on it from then on! Don't be like brian!!" alex said in a loud tone

Marcus who saw if Alex and Irene argue, without thinking long pulled Alex in his carrier so now both Irene and Alex are in Marcus's arms.

'they must be sleepy' the inner Marcus is already noon usually they will fall asleep even for a moment if not they will be fussy so Alex and Irene although accustomed to living heavily by their family but do not rule out the possibility if their souls are a child who will whine if drowsy and tired.

Marcus with Alex and Irene in his car immediately walked to his car where the driver was waiting at the door to open the car door leaving Kelvin in the school area with security watching on alert to him.

Alex and Irene's life goes on. Day after day, week after week, month after month has passed. Now Alex is 9 years old over a few months and Irene is 6 years old over. Time passed quickly and their activities were still the same: school and practice even they had their own playtime. As of right now, both Alex and Irene are preoccupied with their own worlds if Alex plays lego to build a house, in contrast to Irene who is busy with the puzzle next to Alex.

Their play goes on silently and for a long time until they hear the sound of an open door followed by the sound of an adult conversation, they look at each other and then come back to their activities no matter who the guest comes with the uncle.

"Alex, Irene you have to greet our guests" said Marcus, who managed to surprise Alex and Irene because they were unaware of her uncle's presence

Alex and Irene looked up at the uncle who was standing at the door of their playroom.

"ayo" asked Marcus, holding Alex and Irene's hands together to walk into the living room

Upon arrival in the living room Alex and Irene will say hello but when they see the faces of the guests both Alex and Irene are glued to the place when they know their faces as well as the guests who are glued to their place see Alex and irene

"you....."
