SAVANNA
CHAPTER 13


Jake POV


Today is exactly 5 years of Eiden's presence in my life. After Alice broke off our relationship and chose to leave, it was only me and Eiden who completed each other. Because of my important position in the company, I decided to return to the main house after Alice and I separated. In the main house there is Daddy and Mommy who can take care of Eiden while I work.


A few days ago, I finally got word from my adoptive sister who had long chosen to leave home with her husband, reportedly now Daddy is ordering the family law firm to take care of their divorce papers. It's so bad he.


I was confused between being sad or happy, but because of the news, my brother wanted to set foot in the main house again. I think it's something I should be grateful for. We haven't seen each other for nearly 20 years. Even though we had no blood relation, he had left a trail of a good brother in my life. He was the one who filled my childhood with happy days when I was lonely and needed a playmate.

Last morning, having missed my sister so much, I took the initiative to meet her straight away after receiving the address Daddy gave me the other day. All right, I'd like to ask him to help me buy some cake for Eiden.


Unexpectedly it turns out that sister already has a beautiful girl and a little 'strange' in my opinion. But that's not the most important thing, on this same day they finally rejoined a big family. Although I actually do not know for sure, what will be planned in the future.

After escorting my sister back to her house, I continued on my way to the office. Suddenly there was a sudden meeting held by the chief executive who was handling the government building construction project. This is certainly a serious matter. I had to be late for my own son's birthday party.


But it didn't matter, daddy called me that Eiden was okay with my delay. The boy understood his father's condition very well now, I became very worried because he looked more mature at his young age. I don't want my son to be like me as a child.


Maybe this is our family's destiny. My inner.


After completing a sudden meeting with government agencies and field implementers, I hurried down from the 30th floor and immediately headed towards the lobby where the Bugatti La Voiture Noire-branded car was parked in front of the exit. I immediately pulled the key given by the vale and plugged the gas into the main house.


I glanced at the 1942 Rolex clock that showed at 20:15.


Huh! I was too late than expected.


The streets are quite crowded makes me grumble several times and condemn the governments that do not pay attention to things like this.


They kept busy with the buildings that were always elevated!.

I finally arrived at 21:00 on the main courtyard. A family driver approached and I gave him the keys to carry him into the garage. The servants waiting at the door immediately bowed respectfully to welcome my arrival. I don't really care about this. Now the most important thing is that I have to see Eiden right away, I don't want to be stamped as a father who loves work more than his own son.


"Ehem! Sorry everyone, I'm late". I said after entering the door of the family room.


Mom and Dad and the rest of the family were there. They seemed to be talking, but all of them stared at my presence.


My eyes were looking for Eiden, but my focus was on the figure of the girl playing beside him. Eiden didn't even turn his head when I said my words earlier.


No, it's not that. Who is this girl?. I asked in my heart.


He raised his head and we saw each other.


Damnit damnit!.


She's so Beautiful.


My gaze continued to descend on the girl who was like a healing angel. Her tiny body and legs that look level arouse passion in me. I don't know how long this feeling never again arises just by looking at a woman. However, this girl keeps my heart pounding.


"Ehem!".


The voice brought back my consciousness. I wrote the lyrics to the source of the sound that turned out to be from Daddy. The world is back on the move after a long pause.


I walked over to them and sat down next to daddy. Not yet able to sit down, a figure that I had longed for immediately hugged me.


"ah! Brother!". Greet me and return his embrace.


"You've been a great father now". Brother said later.


I laughed lightly with his words, he took off his arms and sat back on the sofa.


"Daddy! Eiden got a princess present". Speak the voice of a child who is none other than my own child.


He pulled my arm and led me to someone.


"Look dad, this sister is like the princess in Eiden's fairy tale!". Eiden was very excited.


Turns out he led me to this angel-like girl. Seen up close, her face looks more beautiful with naturally reddened cheeks. Oh beautiful.


Is he blushing?. Funny thing!.


I crouched down in front of this girl and noticed her smiling self while bowing my head. How funny is this!.


He looks familiar.


"Sister, this is daddy Eiden. He's busy at the company so late to come". Eiden then sat down next to the girl.


"Hello om!. I am Ruby Savana, the daughter of Saphira's mother". He said it now with a little hesitation while extending his hand towards me.


I was stunned by the soft voice that came out of her seductive lips that made this world stop turning again. Worth feeling familiar, it turns out she's the girl I met this morning at my sister's house. But her appearance now really caught my attention.


...


"Daddy!" The little boy who came back made me realize.


I turned to my left right where everyone noticed my strange behavior since entering this room.


"W-uh! Sorry, I'm a little dreamy". I said my origin and then welcomed the hand of this girl.


"Jacob Armount, Eiden's father.


I, like a dazed man, walked back to the chair that was already available beside Daddy.


"ah! Because today we have a very special family member, my son-Saphira and my grandson-Savana, so I will give some thanks to the guests who took the time to be present on this happy night. Even if it's nothing, I hope you all like it". Daddy's words were accompanied by a loud applause.


The waiters were busy with the gifts they were under and were given to each of the invited guests. The atmosphere was back as crowded as before. Daddy and the rest of the family got back together. I don't know what topic they are talking about, but all seem to invite brother to talk. Except mommy. I knew their relationship wasn't so close in the past, but it wasn't something I needed to take care of.


Some other family members also invited me to talk, but I responded soberly, maybe they were bored and confused by my cold attitude finally they were looking for another place to exchange stories. Now that there was nothing to disturb me, I focused entirely on the girl named Ruby Savana. What a beautiful name.


He was playing with Eiden, occasionally he was seen staring at me but a split second later he threw his face away. It's so adorable. I want to keep him in this house so he can't go anywhere.
