The Winter Man

The Winter Man
#21


As the journey to the mansion, the rain began to subside. Leaving only a small drizzle that soaked the car window, behind the window Yura could see some people who had been moaning in some streetside taverns, start re-starting their motorbike engine by still using a raincoat.


In addition there are some small children who are even cool to play rain on the sidewalk of the road. Winter is focusing on driving next to Yura. But Winter knew Yura had seen the little boy.


"If it rains hard, there's no way they'll laugh, they'll be scared too. Aye right?" ask Winter.


Winter nodded.


"Ah but they don't have trauma like me." Yura bent her face.


Winter was still curious, at the time of the tsunami what really happened with Yura. Winter has not found the answer yet.

Yura sat on her bedroom couch, Winter came to give her a glass of water. Yura took a sip and gave it back to Winter.


As usual, when her trauma relapsed, Yura just silently lowered her head to play her nails.


Winter sat beside him. "Your silence?"


"This ..." Yura held her forehead which was in plaster.


"It fell off the couch from a dream hehe's sleeping time."


Winter shook his head slowly. "Fraud."


Then he took something behind his black suit. The small box was black, he gave it to Yura.


Yura turned to Winter and took the box. He opened it and it turned out to be a diamond in the shape of a dolphin.


Yura smiled. "Thank you" he told Winter.


"Why are you home?" ask Yura. "It should be tomorrow, right?"


"My work is done."


"Oh ..." Yura nodded then looked at the dolphin in her hand.


Winter's phone rang long, incoming call from Maxime. Winter picked him up immediately.


"Hallo."


"Yes, Dad?"


"Winter you're home?"


"It."


"Summer is here, come with Yura tonight. Your mother's having a dinner party together."


"Yes, Dad."


"Tell Yura, her parents are invited too."


"Yes." Yeah."


The call ends, Winter reshuffles her phone.


"What's wrong?" ask Yura.


"Dining together."


"At Daddy Maxime's mansion?"


Winter nodded.


"Your parents are there too."


"Oh yeah?" yura's eyes sparkled with pleasure.

Meanwhile in the backyard of Maxime's mansion residence, Summer and Julian are seen arguing. They were sitting on chairs near the piranha fish pond.


"That's impossible, Letta, your little friend, is in Italy" Julian said.


"But it doesn't rule out the possibility that he's now living here."


"That can't be boss. First of all, Letta's a fishmonger's son, you said his life used to be mediocre. He couldn't possibly have the money to buy a plane ticket here. And secondly, this is the least reasonable Boss, Letta only has his mother. And your suspicion about Yura is that Letta is getting unreasonable, because Yura has complete parents."


Summer sighed. "But the same attitude."


"Just the same attitude boss, not the guy! never mind, you should just move on and find another woman, until when you find your little friend. What if he is married? what's worse if he's dead?"


"Be careful when you talk!" summer's annoyance is Julian's.


"Summer .." call Milan to walk up to them.


Summer and Julian looked over. Julian was sitting trying to stand with his cane.


"Can you walk?" tanya Milan saw one of Julian's legs on the bandage.


"Can, Madam. Take it easy, talk to Mr. Summer. I go in first then .. excuse me."


Julian bowed slowly then walked away from there.


"Be careful Julian," said Milan saw Julian running a bit of trouble.


"He why?" tanya Milan sat beside Summer.


"What do you want to say?"


"Look, Daddy you eum ..." Milan hung up his sentence making Summer raise one eyebrow.


"Your Daddy wants to make a fool--"


"No, I don't want to" Summer cut. "Daddy is weird, he loves to make love to his son."


"Relse ... Your dad was just afraid his son was thinking of not getting married, like your Daddy used to be, he didn't want to get married."


"Mom gosh .. I haven't been thirty years. Don't worry too much."


"But the problem is you've never been close to a girl. Don't tell me you and Julian--"


"May ..." Summer rolled her eyes, she knew what her mother was thinking.


Many people think that Summer and Julian have more relationships than a boss and subordinate. Summer had always been fed up with the thoughts of such people, it was impossible for bananas and bananas.


"Yes anyways, you and Julian are everywhere."


"Well, she's my assistant, it's natural that she goes with me wherever I go. Winter's never been close to women either, Mom doesn't think that's weird."


"Count how many times Winter changed her assistant, until finally her assistant was female. Julian's been your assistant for seven years, how Mom doesn't suspect."


Summer patted her eel. "God ... when grandpa Han longer as secretary Grandpa Javier."


"But that's-"


"It's Mom, it's been. Okay, don't go any longer. I'm going in first, Bye mom."


Summer leaves Milan after kissing her mother's cheek.


"Good god that kid!" milan's annoyance is staring at Summer's departure.


Summer walks into the mansion and sees her father, Maxime, scolding her grandfather, Javier.


"This is Mudork's killer getting older," Summer shouted suppressing the word 'old'.


"You!" javier's annoyance makes Summer laugh.


Summer sat down to join her grandfather and father. Then take the orange on the table and peel it.


Maxime pinched Javier's shoulder by shaking his head at his second son busy eating oranges by raising his feet on the chair.


"Dad ..."


"Hm ..."


"Where are Noah and Kai?"


"With the beige, soon to be home."


"Here ... Here ..." Javier pointed at the part of his shoulder that felt sore. Maxime also scolded her.


"Grandmas?"


"There's in the room" Javier said.


Summer nodded. "Eh grandpa, I'd like to ask."


"Hmm?"


"Grandpa married twice, right?" ask Summer.


Javier clucking. "Don't talk about it!"


"Why are you asking me about that?" ask Maxime.


"If I get married twice like a grandpa, right?" tanya Summer makes Javier and Maxime suddenly swerve towards her.


"W-why?"


"Your grandpa's first wedding was just a business wedding, Summer." Maxime explained.


"And the second is a real marriage, right," Summer said as she chewed an orange in her mouth.


"Why did you get married twice?" ask Javier.


"If I'm married to someone that Dad's betrothed ..."


Maxime stopped scolding for a moment, it turns out that Milan had told Summer about him who intended to match the child. Ah, but Maxime asked Milan to wait for the right time to tell Summer.


"Then after marriage I meet the woman I've been looking for all this time, may I divorce my first wife and marry the woman I'm looking for?"


"Don't play with marriage, it's enough to get married twice. Don't you!" squeal Javier.


"Well, listen to Dad. So stop trying to set me up again, okay. I'll marry by my choice."


Summer moved from her seat to leave them.


Javier looks at Summer's departure. "Who is she looking for?" ask Javier.


Maxime shrugged both of his shoulders. "No idea, Dad. He doesn't tell."


Javier clucked while shaking his head.
