The Scards: Start!
Chapter 32: Fake
"Papa, I love you so much. Happy birthday." Kirania's words suddenly made Albert almost strayed from his seat. The man looked at Kirania sharply for misunderstanding, while the girl looked at Albert expectantly and her hand thrust out a gift box.
"You're aware of what you're saying? You know I'm your father, right? We can't have a forbidden relationship because we're father and son." Said Albert sharply.
"I know, I know. But I really loved you as a child to her father, not what you thought. So, please take a gift from me, Papa." Said Kirania at length with teary eyes. I hope that man receives a gift from her.
Albert exhaled and received a gift box that he had no idea what it contained. Kirania immediately sat down beside the father and looked at the man warmly.
"Thank you for taking care of me and loving me all this time, Papa. I don't know what my fate would be if I were still in that family." Kirania said sincerely.
Albert rubbed Kirania's head fondly and opened the gift box. There is a watch and chain necklace with a beautiful dark blue dragon pendulum.
"Thank you." Albert said sincerely. If observed carefully, the widest smile knots that are very thin on the face of the handsome man. Kirania who saw that just smiled widely. It was rare for his father to smile like that except in a certain moment.
Albert kept the gift back and looked at Kirania warmly, a look he rarely showed.
"Your taste is truly unique." Praise Albert.
"Yah~ I picked it for hours. Papa tau, Uncle Joshua until the moss is waiting for me to choose a gift for you, hehe..."
"Why don't you just make him an ice sculpture?"
"Later no source of funds for me, Pa. Uncle Joshua has a lot of money anyway." Sally cute.
"I can grant you whatever you want." Said Albert flat.
Kirania smiled and hugged Albert then kissed the man's cheek warmly. Their relationship was very harmonious, although Albert loved Kirania in his own way as well as Kirania.
Kirania admired Albert. The man who took care of him since he was 7 years old when he missed the figure of a father.
Derrick, who was still his father, often ignored the young Kirania and thought the girl did not exist.
He even had the heart to let Kirania sleep outside accompanied by a thunderstorm, while Derrick and his family slept comfortably inside the house, ignoring the girl who was cowering in fear outside.
Luckily Albert came and took him away to his room located behind the Anderson family residence, so little Kirania was not cold out there. Recalling that past, Kirania clenched her hands tightly.
Albert noticed the change in Kirania's emotions. The man quickly calmed the girl down by rubbing her head gently, "That's it. Don't remember that. Now you're safe and you're not suffering anymore."
Kirania regained her senses and looked at Albert with a wry smile. "Yes, Pa. Thanks."

"Sir, this is the data you requested." Say a man while handing over a document containing student data. In front of him was a middle-aged man sitting on his seat of greatness. There were a lot of files piling up on the table waiting for their turn to be touched. The many beaked man who still looks handsome at his age stopped his activities for a moment.
The man took the document that was stuck towards him and skimmed a glance and put the document back down. The man breathed his tired breath.
Yes, he is Derrick Anderson, the owner of the company that developed its business in city X since 6 months ago before the state of this city heats up.
"Is the 'boy' still alive? Shit, I don't even know his name. His 3-year death was very suspicious." Derrick muttered.
"Did you say something, Sir?"
"You can get out." Said Derrick waving his hand an evict sign. The man immediately resigned.
Derrick reread the document carefully while remembering something.
"If he's still alive, what does he look like and how does he develop?" He muttered again until his eyes stopped when he saw the data belonging to Kirania.
A teenage girl with shoulder-length black hair and dark blue eyes is hidden by rhinoceros-thick glasses. His highly satisfactory academic and non-academic grades as well as geeky looks made him raise his eyebrows next door.
"This kid is a genius. If only Emillia had a brain like this child." Monologue, looking far away.
"What kind of parents educate this child?" His mind wondered as he stared at the photo of Kirania intensely. Derrick called his assistant.
"Yes, Sir?" Ask the assistant with a curious look.
"Examine them."

"God! Why are so many people visiting her hospital with this bloody state?! Moreover, their clothes were also the same, geez!!" Joshua was annoyed.
From last day to night he handled injured patients with increasing numbers every second making the dark brown-haired handsome young man scream frustrated because he did not have time to eat lunch and spend time resting and his dinner hour.
"Come on!! I'm starving and want to rest for a while." Grieved annoyance.
"Stop those complaints, Senior and quickly address them!" Exciting one of the nurses with a successful ketus made the young man even more upset.
"Indeed, I was gossiping like you guys, huh?! You'd better not work if you're just gossiping indistinctly in front of a sick person, damn it!" His roar was angry while treating the unconscious patient.
Joshua's words made some of the nurses who were busy gossiping speechless and looked at Joshua in annoyance.
Realizing their gazes made Joshua even more frown and his emotions ignited. "What a look, huh?! Hurry up and do your job!"
As soon as they returned to work on their duties, even some treatments blatantly showed annoyed expressions.
"It looks like you're being sensitive today, Senior. Are you having PMS?" Ask one of the doctors with a curious face.
"PMS your head, motherfucker! You don't see I'm a man, do you?! Want me to show you my 'bird' so you can believe it?!" Maki Joshua is upset that successfully made some female nurses blush red. Joshua's words made them misunderstand.
"Finally since then you've been angry continuously like a woman who is PMS. Does hunger make you sensitive like this?" Asked the doctor with a plain face that successfully made Joshua's head emit smoke and spout fire, a sign that the man was really angry.
"OK, I'm quiet now." Said the doctor while gesturing to shut his mouth and left from there, doing his task that had been delayed.

Ellios stared at the scene before her with overflowing emotions. How not, the young man's room was used by his best friend to make love to a woman who also chased after him.
She did not mind them, but her room was dirty and the smell of romance made her inflamed.
"You came here deliberately to show off your affection, and chose to use my room for this disgusting thing?" His growl while punching the door that was located next to him cracked, making the couple flabby and hurriedly covering their bodies with blankets.
"Ellios, i-it's not what you think it is." The woman's words hurriedly made Ellios raise her eyebrows next door.
"It's none of my business." His mouth was white and then looked flat at the black-haired young man who was now throwing his face away.
"I'm not mad at you, Xeon. But you're gonna have to compensate for dirtying my room. At least you should buy me new sheets and blankets with the same motif." Ellios said lightly and immediately left those who were bowed in shame, not forgetting that the red-haired young man had closed the door of his room.
"This is the umpteenth time I've burned my blankets and silk sheets. I was lazy to ask Dad for extra money. It's lucky he's gonna adopt me and finance me." His monologue while sighing to calm the emotions that had circulated in his body.
'CKLEK'S'
Appears a pair of teenagers with awkward faces from Ellios' room in full outfit. The two of them immediately approached Ellios and sat down before the red-haired young man awkwardly.
"Ehem! Since you guys have soiled my room, you two will have to pay a loss for me." Said Ellios leisurely.
"You intend to rob me?" Xeon growled in disbelief.
"I didn't rob you. I just want to ask for money. You know, my blankets and sheets are gone I burned because of you." Ellios made Xeon shake her head.
"Can't it be washed? You're gonna wash it, right?" Persuade Xeon while leaning her body on the sofa.
"My brother and father will visit tomorrow. I'm afraid my dad will scold me for thinking I'm having fun with a whore." Clearly Ellios while glancing at the dudang woman next to Xeon with a cold gaze.
"You can replace it with another sheet, right?"
"can't. My bedsheets have been burned out because of your mischievous act of bringing your girlfriend to my house and using my room. Even to the point of slamming my precious sister's photo. I don't know how my sister's going to react tomorrow." Ellios said stubbornly.
"I-I don't know if it's your sister." The girl's great-grandson.
"I didn't say it was you." Cynic Ellios. The woman felt guilty.
"It's just a photo. Why exaggerate, anyway." Xeon defends the woman who successfully makes Ellios emotional.
