Chapter 37: Chapter 37

None of his own brought near the teynga the thing that Frahisto had given him. He pressed the little button and that played automatically.

Vida Mia,

As I promised, I brought you back. And just like I promised, I won't bother you anymore, Odessa.

He lowered his hand and stared blankly into space. He smiled bitterly at the thought that he had also fulfilled his promise, that he would stay away from him forever and ... He was hurt but that was what he should be.

He got off the bed. He first weighed himself a few times to see if he could step forward and maybe the floor would share his face. When he was on his knees, he immediately went to the door and went out.

The long hallway opened up to him first. Beautiful interior design and marble floors. Shaken, he remembered Frahisto's house. How he ran around every hallway once peeking out of every room. She remembers almost every room and where the master bedroom is that she looks at every time the man takes a bath and it comes out with just a towel.

He let his foot where he would take her. Until he realized he had just come down the stairs. Only one entered his brain at that moment, a rich man his real Father. He was just shocked when he saw the portrait of him when he was still a baby. They lined up until he came down the stairs. He was cute when he was young.

"Son, it's good you're not lost!" His Father greeted him with a worried voice.

“Of course not. The house is big but it's not misleading. Where are Mom and Dad? ”

She smiled and guided him to the kitchen. He seemed to come true when he saw his whole family sitting at the table and happily exchanging bullies with his two naughty brothers.

"Ate is here!"

He quickly ran to replace them and hugged them. Even though they are not his real family, his heart knows that they are what he will look for. It will be difficult for him but he will insist. He thought, something bad has happened to them. He was afraid to think that someone had been hurt again.

"Odessa, son ..."

She burst into tears. Instead of having dinner that night, they told how he got to the Elairon family and where he was found. His two brothers just cried but his brother and his wife, remained calm in the chair.

He had a hard time how to accept everything because honestly, it was like he was in a nightmare. The events are confusing and insane. He thought, it only happens in movies. Who would have thought he was the son of a businessman one of the owners of chocolates factories? He never dreamed of being a son of the rich. Life is hard, he is content. He can eat three meals a day, he is happy there.

"The Frahisto ..."

He immediately turned his head and looked at his father who said, "Yes?"

“He said goodbye to‘ min earlier. He said he won't bother you anymore. He also told the reason why you are like this and you always cry every time you wake up. He apologizes, son. ”

Frahisto ... it was as if something was ringing in his throat when he said the young man's name.

"Are you OK here, son?"

Odessa turned to Father. He was smiling and his contentment was obvious now that he and his father were together. “Naman‘ Pa! I can be your child. I'm Goddess Hera Elairon slash to feel— Philco. ‘Well, why is my name so long!’

She laughed at his question and shook her head. They were in the factory where he was training as a normal employee. He wanted to learn what the Factory and the Company were doing.

“Don't strain yourself too much, hija. There’s plenty of time to learn. For now, go with your handsome father for lunch. ”

He just smiled at what the old man said. His luck to his Father. He immediately left the job for a while just to stop.

“It’s not lunch break yet,‘ Pa. There are still 10 minutes, oh. ” He pointed to the large clock on the wall.

The old man scratched his head. “Oh, I’m sorry. I'll just wait for my beautiful son here to finish so he can keep up with his handsome Father. ”

He just jokingly glared at his Father and made the most of the remaining ten minutes. From the day Frahisto brought him to his real family, he taught himself to be busy. He did not let its memories visit or disturb him. With his father's help and money, he was able to see a good psychologist. Somehow, he finally accepted that his father’s life was just that. The dream of becoming a teacher, also suddenly changed as his life with his Father changed.

His Father Orlando, Mother and siblings, he never sent back to Baryo. His Father gave him a house and a job. A piece of furniture that his handsome Dad and his Mother loved, with a large store. As for his two brothers, his Father will also take care of their education. His older brother, in the Factory was given a job and a house with his wife and nephew.

They were in his father's canteen and eating when he spoke.

"Don't you miss him, son?"

He was stunned for a moment and looked up. “Let’s just eat,‘ Pa. Right now I don’t want to think about him. I will focus on you first. ”

He just smiled and nodded, "Just son, when the heart can't take it ..."

"Papa ..."

It laughed and raised a hand. He jokingly mocked his Father. Almost all the employees, look at them. His Father was too ordinary for them and just ate with them in the canteen. She doesn’t even want them to call her Ma’am. Then maybe if he was in a high position, so his father's staff always hesitated to call him by his name.

"Is he really the son of Mr. Philco? ”

“I don't think so. Maybe he's your sugar daddy. So papa he calls and you see, they always eat together and our boss is sweet to him. I guess he is not a child. ”

“Right. The boss's son is just letting ... What's his name? Goddess Hera? The flaw! ”

Odessa was shaken by the gossip of the three female employees. They just got out and he caught them in the locker. The women didn't even notice that he was there. But instead of getting angry and embarrassing them, he chose to ignore every word that came out of the mouth of the gossip.

When they saw his presence, they immediately became silent and gestured. His cellphone rang exactly which he immediately took inside the locker. His handsome Father. He deliberately raised his voice to hear three gossips behind him.

“Hello‘ Pa? Yes, it will come out. Huh? No. I can just get my cellphone in the locker. Nothing. I heard an issue about ‘tin’ Pa, na sugar daddy kita. ” He laughed out loud and briefly faced ‘em. She smiled sweetly. The three immediately lost color. “Huh? Oops! Don’t be like, ‘Pa. With our faces still like broken fruit, are you still gossiping about sugar daddy? Maybe separated by envy. Let's just go. People like that, they don't prosper because they only know about envy and gossip, don't they? All right, I'm going out. ” He immediately turned off the cellphone and kindly smiled at them again.

He even waved and he almost wanted to laugh at how the color escaped the three and couldn’t move from the stand. Thankfully, her parents raised her kindly. He was just at the opening of the parking lot where his Father was waiting when he suddenly stopped.

Frahisto!

He even stared at a spot of the parking area where he saw the man but it was gone. He smiled bitterly. This is what he wants but why is he not happy? He shook his head and took a deep breath. He notices that he is always disturbed by the presence of Farhistt or Frahisto. He always sees it even without it. Maybe it's not haunted.

"Are you okay?"

He nodded at that question. He noticed that his Father had been watching and waiting for him to enter. They had a family driver who was also watching him.

"Yes." He sighed as he entered and shook his head.

No, what they had was part of the past. He has nothing to go back to. The psychologist says, if he wants to be healed permanently and get rid of the severe trauma he got ... He has to accept something else and forget what needs to be forgotten. That was the only way for him to live a normal life.

"By the way, son ... I'm going to a business meeting in China—"

"I'm like."

"Huh?"

“I am like you. You’re old, ‘Yeah and you shouldn’t be in this position. You should rest, take a vacation, be a woman and replace Mama. Then I also need to learn. Two years of training in the company and entering the factory is not enough. I have very little knowledge. Just take care of your lovelife, ‘Pa.”

Loud laughter filled the car. He even coughed so their driver was forced to stop the vehicle and he, in turn, gave it water.

“You really inherited from your Mother! Talk like that. But hey, you’re right. I’m old and ... need a lovelife? ” it shook at the back question. "Okay okay. We will leave by Wednesday night. You will be my secretary that time, ‘nak.”

He just smiled and nodded. That would be perfect! He has changed a lot in two years. He is no longer the Odessa he used to be, innocent and foolish. He workshops on proper etiquette and if how to interact with people. He could say, he was different on the outside but on the inside ... The man’s name remained engraved even though he tried to forget, it was still there. Not missing. Just stayed in the very corner of his heart. But that’s all there is to it. Maybe, that's all they really are. He was the one pushing away from it so he had to stand up.
