"Why not go to school again? It's been two days since you missed the final grade test."
Julian grunted, he was lying. Actually today there is no morning shift in the cafe, but just lazy to go to school because it is far away. Long time not using his father's money, he became too regretful waste of money especially just to ride the bus, "I got the morning shift, I've said from yesterday the day after."
Leura with the cell phone connection across could only sigh in concern, her close friend was the child people were in, but her life was like the occupant of the roof of heaven and earth as the base, "Yes.. but what if your grade drops? Don't you worry, you're smart, how do you want to go to college?"
"I can negotiate for a follow-up exam. Earlier, thank you for your concern," Julian smiled with a heavy heart as he said his last sentence.
"You make excuses how else? The truth is you work part-time, no teacher believes. They'll all know you're a rich man's son, where your father's a famous man."
"I'll take care of that later" he said after a long silence. Suddenly it came to mind, Julian inadvertently asked Leura spontaneously,."Um, Leura. Did you know Ereluz personally?"
At first Leura was confused by the suddenly changed topic, but she still answered the question as it was known, "Not really, no child knew her very closely. Perhaps only his name and bad attitude are exposed every day. Why are you suddenly asking him?"
"Eh, no. But his mother turned out to be my boss in the cafeteria," another alibi could of course be in Julian's brain, but it's true that Cassandre is Ereluz's mother, he's not lying this time either. Only, the main topic of his curiosity is about Ereluz who travels in time.
Before long, Leura's laughter rang out, following the noise that seemed to come from the classmates, "Huh, really? The world is so narrow it turns out. Yes, I'll hang up."
"Wait!" Cegaj Julian, again unplanned.
Leura almost ended the call, lucky that the red icon had not been touched, she then brought the phone closer to the ear, "What's wrong?"
"Tomorrow come to my house, I have something to say."
There was actually a bad feeling when Julian said it, but Leura couldn't mess with the man's invitation. He then 😍 took a slow hug while replying if he agreed, "Alright."
...---...
Julian languished at the study table for two more hours, one of his hands constantly tapping a pen onto the paper containing only a few brief scribbles, while his brain kept trying to remember something, "1402 AD, it was 619 years ago. The location is still the same, in this city, Aragon. From the history books, Aragon was led that year by his last prince, Juan of Azarcon-astaga! That headstone, so it's hers! Why did I just wake up?!"
Realizing the object of his discovery some time ago, he immediately approached where the object was, and brought it to its original place.
"His position lasted only a short while, there were never recorded articles about his death as well, as if kept secret. Something must have happened back then. Ereluz is there, if the multiverse theory is correct, then he is now in another universe. Ahh, I have to find out what kind of machine that time was and how it worked," Monologue Julian continued to swipe the almost broken name engraving on the gravestone, reassuring that 'Juan S. Azarcon' is listed there.
The door to her room was not knocked, Nathalia suddenly stood behind her with a suspicious look, "Sister, I heard you talking all the time."
"No, I was just thinking about something," Julian replied, he then immediately put away his personal belongings, and turned to face the younger brother with a big smile, "You're better? How about reading comedy books, painting, and listening to hiphop music?"
Nathalia responded with an enthusiastic nod, "That's pretty good, my moods get happier more often. So don't make me go to a psychologist again, will you?"
"I won't force you to quit that bad habit of selfharm."
"I haven't done it in a long time, and I have no intention of repeating it."
"Good, hold on to your words. Whatever happens, find me. Don't assume I'm a stranger, we need to know each other's situation, you're my sister and I'm your brother."
"Yes..don't nag, "reply the little brother, pinched his little brother's hand. Then his eyes accidentally turned to Julian's laptop, which was still on, "What are you doing? Why open the article of the kingdom of Aragon?"
"It's none of your business."
"So you said you should know each other!"
Julian snorted, "You know why I really want a little brother? They're not as chatty as you."
"True, then-" his words were cut off by the house bell that rang. The two pairs of siblings were lyrically interlocking.
"Who's that, a night-time guest," Nathalia made a cynical comment.
"Open the door, I'll change first."
The teenage girl nodded, and immediately left her brother's room to meet the guest. Nathalia almost toppled over to see who was coming, "A-dad? Why did you suddenly come here?"
"Julian is inside, right?" The man turned his head inside, then turned to look at his daughter when he did not feel the existence of the boy who would come out to greet her, "Don't be afraid, Nath. I just want to visit the kids by myself, you don't mind, do you?"
Soon Julian came out, "Who, Nath? Why not get in?"
Hearing Julian's last words, the gentleman walked in and immediately headed for the available sofa, "He's welcome, so you can go in.."
"Who-oh, why did you come here? Remember if you had a child?" Julian asked in a cynical and haughty tone.
"Sit down Julian, let's talk something cold-headed, long time no see, you're getting emotional."
"Wait, did you say that? A seat? It's my place to live, I'm paying for it myself, it's so good you said."
"Yes, forget it."
"I don't allow guests this time to sit down or even set foot on my tile."
The older one stiffened his jaw, Julian gave a small smile for a moment, "Julian, don't provoke anger. I came in peace, but is that your response?"
"Well, my time is precious so don't you talk, please talk directly about your purpose in coming here?" Inevitably Julian immediately sat in front of his father. The man would definitely leave after his remark was responded to.
Without further ado, he said, "Dad wants you to take the position of chief director."
"Good, I agree. The company turned out to be transferable for me."
"That's the proposal of the various parties concerned, so you'll work at my command."
Actually, it was expected, his father would not give up the company clearly, while Julian had been showing a very hateful attitude to the man, "Hmm, sneaky. I was just a puppet. I'd better refuse from now on, before the business gets longer. I'm still in school anyway."
"Think carefully, I've given you the best way possible. School problems, the change of director will be four more years, so there's still plenty of free time for you before you enter the father's workforce."
"Not going to."
"Why?"
"You don't want just one thing, what are you hiding?"
The father flicked his finger, "Seek! Nathalia should not be exposed as a member of the Girasol family. I want to move it to another city that's very far and far away."
"Cruel!"
