Chapter 173
The atmosphere enveloped the Narendra family residence. Business relations who have close relationships with their families also attended the grandfather's wedding. They seem compact wearing dark colored clothes as a sign of mourning.
"Res, where's Alan, huh?" asked Irene with her eye condition still swollen.
He sat with Ares away from the crowd. Meanwhile, Alfa and Arvy who received the presence of guests who came to serve.
The event is held in a closed manner, only certain groups are allowed to attend. Even the media is not allowed to cover the news at all about it.
"I don't know. He said he'd go for a minute" replied Ares.
Irene was worried. Alan's the one who's been the worst affected by Grandpa's death. At an event as important as this, Alan suddenly disappeared.
Not long after, the guests seemed surprised by something. Seeing this, Ares and Irene were curious to know. Both of them moved to see what happened.
Looking from the door a group of police officers entered the room carrying Alex with them. People started to whisper at Alex's arrival.
Ares felt his emotions stir. He approached Alex. "What did you come for? Satisfied to see Grandpa dead?" mean it.
Alex bowed before Grandpa's coffin. He rubbed the tears that suddenly flowed from the corner of his eyes.
Ares nearly comes forward to beat up Alex but is held back by Alan and Irene. "Go from here! You murderer!" Ares again uttered his swear words. He tried hard to remove the checks Alan and Irene until finally able to grip the collar of Alex's shirt.
"Still have your face here, huh! It's ticked! Apologize to Grandpa!" Ares is evocative of his emotions. He looked up at his second brother.
Seeing Alex remain unmoved, Ares kicks Alex to his knees on the floor.
Alex crying. He made three prostrations in front of his grandfather's coffin as a last salute. He was very saddened by his grandfather's death.
Alan pulled back his youngest brother so as not to get too emotional. Ares cried and hugged his sister.
After the final salute, Alex is brought back by the police. He was just embarrassed to be the talk of the guests who came.
"Sister Alex!" exciting Irene. He follows Alex and the police out of the house.
Alex stopped his steps and looked back. Irene was in front of him.
Irene shed tears as she looked at Alex. It still can not be trusted if the man who was the cause of grandfather's death.
"Responsibility, Brother! And stop being the bad guy" Irene said.
Alex forced a smile while holding back his stuffing. He nodded his head. "I'm sorry, Irene" he said.
The police took Alex back to the car. Irene could only look at the car that was carrying Alex away. He was deeply saddened that one of the young masters of the narendra family had to be separated from the other.
Irene re-entered the mourning room. He saw the four young masters of the Narendra family standing together staring at the coffin of the grandfather who was closed again. Some people picked it up to be moved into the car. Grandpa's body will be buried in the family cemetery next to the grave of Alan's parents.

Ever since grandfather died, Alan seemed to be getting busier and more reserved. Irene felt that Alan was no longer as friendly as usual. They rarely even greet each other.
"I think Alan's brother lately so rarely eat. Maybe because it's too busy to take care of work in the office," said Ares who was driving a car with Irene to campus.
Irene could do nothing. The mood of grief is still felt after 7 days of grandfather's death. He had tried to get Alan to talk, but it was as if the man was reluctant to talk to anyone.
"Tomorrow's Christmas Eve, huh?" Irene murmured while glancing at the window glass.
"Ah, you're right too" said Ares. "In our house there is not even a Christmas tree installed even though tomorrow has entered Christmas night."
Grandpa's funeral keeps people at home focused on dealing with grief. They did not think that Christmas was coming soon.
"It should have started to snow. It will be the first Christmas without snow" Irene said.
Ares chuckled at Irene's strange speech and startled her. "You think this is in Europe? Where is snow in our country? It's weird."
Irene woke up from her daydream. He forgot that his life was different now. He usually celebrates Christmas with his adoptive father's family abroad. This Christmas is very different. Especially with the loss of a dear grandfather.
Upon arrival at the campus, everyone was discussing about the drama series starring Jeha which will air soon. Suddenly Jeha became very famous on campus.
"Ren, do you know that Jeha's drama is coming soon?" ask Winda.
"Yes, I know." Irene only heard the news at a glance. Grandfather's death still leaves a sorrow that makes him lazy to do many things.
"What if we surprise him? I heard he's going to attend the premiere gala at the XXX mall. He must be happy" said Winda with enthusiasm.
"Yes, let's do it" said Irene.
"The words of other friends, Jeha's acting is very good even though only as a figure. I'm proud to be his friend" said Winda. He did not imagine that he would have a friend who became an artist.
Irene is also proud of Jeha's achievements so far. He who had accompanied Jeha from the audition stage, painstakingly struggled until finally getting a role that is now quite interesting for many people. In fact, what is shown is only limited to the teaser. However, some have already seen the premiere of the drama and say that Jeha is doing well acting.
"Oh, yes. Christmas Eve tomorrow you have a show?" ask Irene.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to take you on the road" said Irene.
"Ah, what a pity. I have an appointment with someone else, Ren. Sori, yes!" said Winda with a feeling of guilt.
"Yes already, it's okay. I'm kind of bored and confused about what to do on Christmas Eve."
