The Throne Of The Heart
Section 35
Lashira was silent to Chika's explanation, the girl's facial expression was flat making it difficult for Chika to read what Lashira was thinking at the moment. “So I mean brother, I am actually his cousin Brother Nobert and now my biological father wants to see me ... so?”
Chika nodded confirming Lashira's words.
“Why?” lashira asked with cold eyes, Chika was stunned by it.
“Why what?” chika asked not to understand.
Lashira gave a small smile, her eyes fixed on the drink before her. “Why now want to find it?” ask Lashira.
“Ka-if it's only Nobert who can explain to you, I'm afraid of the wrong talk and end up falling apart later.” Lashira was just a mangosteen-beard hearing Chika's explanation.
Drrta! Drrt!
“I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a while.” Lashira excuse me for a moment to pick up the call from Severin.
“What are you guys talking about?”
“Indeed you didn't set a voice eavesdropper on me?” lashira asked with a small smile. Her feelings were muddled after hearing Chika's story about ‘her biological father’.
And at a time like this .. somehow he misses Greyson now.
“Unfortunately no, did she say something about-”
“He told me about my real father, he said he wanted to meet me..,” cut Lashira in a soft voice.
“Then after hearing all that, what do you think?”
Lashira leaned her body against the wall behind her. “Considered? If you're going through this, how are you going?” askalanya.
Severin was silent across there.
“There's something you still want to say? If I'm going to end this conversation, I promise I won't spend too long.” After saying that Lashira immediately decided on the call and intended to go back to meet Chika.
His steps came to a halt when he saw Chika was not alone now, there was a man who was currently sitting behind her and Lashira felt familiar with the man's posture.
“Ra...,” call Chika who is aware of Lashira's presence attention.
As the man turned his back, Lashira could only smile stiffly in place. “Kak Nobert...,” is moving slowly.
Lashira was speechless waiting for Nobert's explanation after sitting before the man. While Chika had gone from a few minutes ago to give the two of them space to talk together.
“So, brother Nobert my cousin?” lashira asked because Nobert never started their conversation.
Nobert nodded confirming, he took a sip of his drink before speaking to Lashira. “Ra, I want to ask for help .. please persuade your biological father to want to start operating.”
“Why should I?” lashira asked with her eyebrows raised next to her.
“Because you're the only one who could be the reason he's alive now,” said Nobert making Lashira laugh.
“Sorry brother, I end up feeling funny the same words brother.” Lashira instantly stopped her laughter when she saw Nobert's shocked expression.
"Where do you think it's funny?" nobert asked not to understand.
"Sir Nobert said that I was the only person who could be his reason for staying. How is that possible? She had big family people by her side, even her other children. So there's no way that I'm the only one, right?"
“You changed a lot yes..” said Nobert very slowly but still heard by Lashira.
Lashira smiled knot. “If I hadn't changed, I wouldn't have survived in this world sis.” Nobert nodded in agreement to hear it.
“Please consider once again, we really need your help ... and the whole big family is sorry for their treatment to you and your mother before you leave the main house.”
Lashira turned around with a faint smile. “We never go, brother, but you throw us away. Then excuse me now.” Lashira's words made Nobert freeze instantly in place.
***
Lashira threw her body onto the bed as soon as she reached the mansion. His encounter with Chika and Nobert was really very draining the energy that was in his body.
“Hahahaha! Very funny si*l!” Lashira laughed very loudly considering Nobert's words at the restaurant earlier.
“You see me he said? Ahahaha! Very funny b*ngs*t!” Lashira was pounding the bolster that was in her arms with anxiety.
“After he dumped me and my mom, now he wants to see me? Cih!” Lashira screeched in annoyance, her hands clenched tightly. He did not even heed the pain as his palm was pierced by his own fingernails.
“Aarrggghhh!!” he shouted while throwing a sleeping lamp on the nightstand until it hit the dressing table. Shards of glass were everywhere and the girl's eyes had already turned red from holding back tears.
His breathing was already irregular due to the burst of emotions filling his chest cavity. Recalling how tragic her and her mother's past was before she met her adoptive father left her long-saved wounds wide open again.
“Hiks! Gray...” She blurted out Greyson's name in between her tears. Wish the man was present at this moment as well and comforted him in the man's warm embrace.
Behind the tightly shut door of Lashira's room, there was Severin with a tab and a cell phone in each hand. “Should I come in now? The boy Sebastian looks very sad at the moment,” asked Norbert by phone.
“Did he hurt himself? Or was he hurt?”
“It looks like no,” reply Severin.
“Then let it go, just keep an eye on it and don't let your guard down. I don't want to be targeted once Greyson gets back later.”
After saying it\, Norbert immediately disconnected the phone call. “So very busy sibr*ngs*k this!” it means on the phone in his hand.
“Hey you! Get me a chair and a cold drink here!” severin orders one of Greyson's men on guard.
After Greyson's men did as he commanded, Severin sat at the door, watching Lashira through the tab in her hand. “What's he cowering like a fetus so?” he muttered as he saw Lashira curled up on the mattress like a fetus.
“You said something, Mister?” ask one of Greyson's men. Severin shook his head as he shook his palm telling Greyson's men to leave.
Later that night, Lashira wakes up and goes down to the kitchen to cook her own dinner. “Ngapain?” tanya Severin manages to surprise Lashira until the girl breaks the plate she holds.
“Sven! You surprised me!” omel Lashira is upset.
“Do not touch or I will report all the things that happened today to Greyson. Let's think about what will happen to Nobert and Chika after I tell Grey that you cried all day because of them.”
Lashira had just bent down to clean up the fragments of the plate, but Severin was already grumbling at length without being able to prevent it.
Lashira breathed a long breath. “Sven, do you know that you're overreacting?”
Severin just shrugged her shoulders no matter, she called out to some servants then ordered them to clean the broken dishes and make dinner for Lashira.
“Thank you,” Lashira told the waiter who was serving food for her.
Severin watched Lashira's behavior, from her way of receiving food to thanking the waiter. Even when the girl refused the maid to pour her drinking water politely and subtly.
“Why should you bother doing everything yourself if there are a lot of people willing to do everything for you?” ask Severin astonished.
Lashira smiled faintly, she swallowed first the food that was in her mouth before speaking, “I don't want dependence with the compassion of others because I know … not forever will they be willing to do everything for me.”
