Trapped in Chain Love
Things are happening there.

...Julia ride pitam. She cannot control herself because Noise insists on wanting a profession she finds futile. Julia never wanted her children to be anything other than the successor to the family business, if not taking care of the business then it was meaningless to Julia....

"Btw, I'm surprised to see brother Lucas here. The world feels narrower when we meet easily, right?"

Elise. He put a piece of cheese cake into his mouth slowly, chewed it then felt the cake taste perfectly combined. The atmosphere of the cafe is so crowded, the sound of people chatting—of course most of them use Japanese, although there are also those who use other languages, they are tourists just like Elise and Lucas.

"I went to Osaka to see the restaurant, and I checked out a few other things. This cafe belongs to my acquaintances, the world does feel cramped like this"

Lucas initially only visited cafes owned by acquaintances, but he came to Japan if not now maybe he would not be able to do it because of his busy schedule. In addition to managing the restaurant, Lucas also has several students that he must teach three times a week, quite a lot of people are interested in entering his cooking class because that's Lucas' job more and more.

In addition, he actually intends to meet with Elise. He knew the place of his hotel, after finishing visiting his acquaintance Lucas would go to meet Elise—but instead Elise who came alone, by accident and this meeting happened.

Elise nodded in agreement with Lucas. If he met Noise there too, maybe the world is really narrow so that in other countries they can meet accidentally.

Speaking of Noise, Elise became curious about the news of the teenager. The last time he heard her voice the first day Elise arrived in Japan, they called each other for some time but suddenly Noise stopped contacting her.

At that time Elise did not find out because she thought it was possible that Noise was busy in college, or maybe she did something else that made her forget Elise. For the last option was painful, but Elise could not do anything if it actually happened.

"Oh yeah, how's Noise doing?"

Elise asked briefly. In the end he ventured to ask Lucas, if the man would probably answer him—he once tried to ask Julian but the answer was not knowing.

Oath, Noise and Julian's relationship doesn't seem so good that her brother doesn't know anything about her.

Lucas sipped his drink, cold cola feels fresh when the day is sunny—let alone the view of cherry blossom trees outside makes the atmosphere feel different. Although in front of Lucas there was something prettier than the cherry blossoms that afternoon.

He puts the cup down, Lucas hesitates to tell Noise what happened but Lucas cannot lie in front of Elise, he does not want to make Elise disappointed for not telling the truth. She knows Elise loves Noise, which is why she should know.

"There was a quarrel between Noise and the mother, the mother's emotions were difficult to control at that time so she slapped Noise in the face. Now Noise lives somewhere we don't know,"

Elise was shocked to hear the Noise situation.

"So, she ran away from home?"

Elise spoke doubtfully and Lucas nodded briefly. Noise was indeed hazy, he did not even carry a credit card and only brought some money as well as clothes. Lucas could not contact his brother, nor could his father.

"Noise must have been too tired to face the attitude of the mother. He hasn't come back until now, unfortunately I had to come to Osaka because of work. Dad said not to worry because he was going to look for Noise, but still, what would he do elsewhere?"

Lucas explained in a soft voice. As a first brother, he feels responsibility for his younger siblings, let alone Lucas being closer enough to Noise than Julian.

That afternoon, Lucas had just come home from work and walked into the house. The living room was quiet as usual, especially when Elise had left for Osaka. Lucas walks towards his room, but his steps are stopped when he hears a debate between Noise and the mother.

"I don't want to inherit my mother's company! I want to make my own way!"

"Don't talk nonsense! You are part of this family, inevitably you have to inherit what you need to inherit!"

Noise spoke in a high tone, unlike him who usually had low self-confidence. Lucas wanted to break them up, but it happened.

Julia looked at her second son with a disappointed look, she felt like she knew why her son had suddenly defied like this.

"It's not enough to play around with that violin now that you're refusing to inherit the company, all this must be because of that woman right!?"

"What does mother mean?"

"DON'T INSULT SISTER ELISE!—"

Plaque!

Lucas immediately held the mother from behind, preventing Julia from slapping her sister again while Julia tried to rebel by yelling at Noise who now lowered her head.

"DON'T ARGUE! I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU! BEING A VIOLINIST WON'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING!"

Julia ride pitam. She cannot control herself because Noise insists on wanting a profession she finds futile. Julia never wanted her children to be anything other than the successor to the family business, if not taking care of the business then it meant nothing to Julia.

"Mother! Relax, you're hurting Noise!"

Lucas is still trying to calm the mother, he knows his mother's feelings are not okay but he did not think Julia to slap Noise.

"If you want to play the music you want, then get out of here. I don't need a disobedient child like you."

"MOTHER!?"

No matter how Lucas spoke, Julia made up her mind. He looked at Noise who nodded briefly, the teenage boy looked up, looking at his mother's face for the last time.

"Okay, I'll go."

"Noise! Don't listen to what you said! You can't go!"

Noise doesn't listen to Lucas' words, he whines away to his room— maybe packing the things he'll take away, leaving the house where he was born. Indeed, he should have done that a long time ago, after all, since the father began to busy working out of the city of Noise had no one who could be the place to lean.

Then Elise appeared, rekindling the warmth that Noise rarely felt, but now she had to leave.

'I'm sorry, brother'

Noise packed his things quickly, entered the origin of the things he needed then went through the back door and ran down the road to the gate that was rarely used.

Lucas did not have time to stop the sister, when he finished talking for a moment with Julia his sister was not in the room— with the items that were disheveled.

Elise fell silent after hearing an explanation from Lucas. He immediately took his device, dialed the Noise number he had asked for first while hoping that the teenager would answer the phone from him.

["Sister Elise?"]

"He lifted it!"

Noise is too depressed by her mother's decision to always manage whatever Noise does, she is never free and Elise teaches her to be free and also choose the path she really wants.

But running away from home is not the solution yes, it will only add to the problem because we avoid instead of facing.

Hope you're okay, Noise
