Plaque....

I don't know how many slaps floated in Adam's face that night. But one thing is certain, Adam's face was reddish.

"Stupid! Who taught you to do that dirty thing?!" snapped at a middle-aged man, who was the great master of this house.

Abraham Ainsley, owner of a leading mabel and retail company in the business world. He is also one of the richest men in the country. Abraham was known for his strict yet wise nature. But not a single hint of decisiveness was feared by Adam.

Adam chose to shut up, because he was confused as to why he could get into Rea's room, and do something bad.

However, Adam was still guilty even though he was under the influence of alcohol at the time. There is no justification for him. For that, Adam chose silence and did not fight like before.

"Aren't you thinking about how the girl's fate would have been, if you had ruined it?!"

Patricia suddenly appears, rubbing Abraham's back so that his anger subsides. Patricia shook her head to end her son's punishment.

"How's Rea doing?" ask Abraham. A little, Abraham found out about Rea through the story of Patricia some time ago.

"He was calm and now he was asleep. Rea was an innocent child, traumatizing her greatly." Patricia explained.

Abraham nodded, "Don't let him go home before his trauma is gone."

Abraham was a gentle hearted figure, behind his stern nature and fierce face. Especially women, Abraham would not hurt them. And for Rea who has spoken of the mental, Abraham will not remain silent.

Abraham saw his youngest son who showed no guilt at all. This left Abraham in deep thought.

"Don't try to show yourself in front of Rea, if you don't want Daddy to move to San Diego!" threaten Abraham before he enters the room.

"Mommy's very disappointed in you Adam. I don't know what happens if you ruin Rea." Patricia said. This time Patricia no longer talks as much as she used to. That made Adam flinch.

"Remember your Daddy said, don't show your face in front of Rea. Because Rea was so scared of you" Patricia said before following her husband.

Adam was glued to his place, seeing the disappointment in Patricia's eyes made his heart ache. He doesn't like Patricia now, Adam likes Patricia who is chatty and always advises him.

While in a room that was quite spacious, Rea was sleeping. But the girl's forehead was wrinkled, indicating she was in the middle of a nightmare.

"Dad... Mom... help Rea.." - Shrill the girl. In his dream Rea is trapped in a fire, as well as his parents who cannot save themselves.

"Dad..." Rea suddenly woke up. Sweat drenched his forehead, and his breath was breathless like running a marathon.

"Rome..." Patricia who heard her screams suddenly came followed by Abraham behind her.

Rea looked at Patricia, her manic glazed over. "Aunty, Rea wants to go home. Rea wants Mama..."

Patricia rubbed Rea's trembling back, "But it's been a night baby. Aunty promised, tomorrow you'll be home."

Rea shook her head, "Rea wants to talk to mom." he whined.

I don't know why Rea is so desperate to meet her parents at this time. Rea felt a bad feeling about both her parents.

Patricia looked at her husband, and Abraham nodded. Rea must be in desperate need of both of her parents right now.

Patricia took her phone, then dialed Elsa's number from St.'s student parents. Francis. The call was connected, but it wasn't Rea's mother who answered.

Patricia looked at Abraham, the woman's bead glazed over while shaking her head, shortly after hearing the words from someone across the street.
