Chapter 84 - Goals That Have Not Been Achieved.

Seeing Sophia cry, Michael felt his world collapse instantly, he also felt heartbroken by Zian's condition, especially when he remembered his sister who was almost crazy for fear of losing Zian.

Michael didn't say anything, he just gave a warm hug while patting her shoulder lightly.

Just then, Larry approached and whispered in Michael's ear. "Finally, it's all over too". 

"This is not the end, but the beginning of it all, someone is watching us, therefore, we must prepare with all possibilities". Michael whispered with a savage look.

Larry was taken aback by what Michael had to say, but he didn't want to discuss matters like this in front of so many people.

The night was getting late, two big families had left Michael's father's house. 

All that was left was his grandfather, grandmother, aunt and cousin who were still sitting in the living room. They sympathized with the chaos that had just happened so they chose to sit a little longer.

Larry looked at his grandfather's family with a meaningful expression, after which he took a breath and passed in front of them. But no one paid attention to it and it made Larry feel deep sadness.

He misses his grandma and grandpa but he can't hug them.

After leaving, Larry sat down in a chair right under a large tree near the park. He leaned against the log and stared at the moon in the dark night sky. 

"How long have I been here? but the purpose of my coming to this country has not been fulfilled, and I also have not been able to hug my grandmother and grandfather, now I have met them but they ignore me". Larry thought.

In the midst of his daydream, suddenly his cell phone rang, Larry immediately picked it up because it was from his mother.

"Hello Mom?". Larry said after pressing the green icon on his cellphone.

"Hello my dear Son, how are you?". Her mother's voice made his sad heart instantly sweet.

"I'm fine, Mom. What about the family there? Is Dad near you?". 

Suddenly from the other side of the phone came a light conversation from his parents, not long after that there was a deep and hoarse voice that was none other than his father. "We're all good here! I hope you come home this Christmas eve because I will prepare the best gift for you".

"That's good then, and I'll try to come home for Christmas. Oh yeah, please don't let my brother and Syenina mess up my room, or I'll just go home and beat them up, and one more thing, please ask my brother to get married because his house is big, and because I want to have a niece quickly, hahaha ....". 

"My ugly brother. I agree with you, hehehe..". Syenina's voice was heard from the other side of the phone accompanied by her laughter.

From the other side of the phone, Charles also heard a heavy sigh. Looks like his mother turned on the outside speaker.

"Don't worry! I will destroy your room and break your leg when you get home, or I will ask Michael to do it". Charles said in a terrible tone.

"Mother.. Look at your eldest son! He has threatened me, why is he being so rude to me? Is he really my brother? Why do I feel that Michael is my real brother, even though he is cold and cruel but never hurt me". Larry started to sulk because he felt intimidated by his brother.

"Don't fight! You are my biological children who were born from my womb. So, don't talk carelessly anymore!". Said Azura who was trying to reconcile her two children. 

"Your jokes make me feel homesick, now tell me when are you coming home, Larry?". Mr. Charly said while asking his second son.

Larry took a deep breath, he had no plans to go home because his goal had not been achieved.

"I'm comfortable here, Dad. Now I'm going to close first! You two are my dearest pair of Teddy bears, take care of your health!".

"You're my naughty little son, can't we have a long chat? We really miss you. But, alright we'll budge now. So, you're fine there, don't bother your uncle and aunt, take care of them!".

"Okay".

After hanging up the phone, Larry felt a little relieved and calm. He was happy because he had heard the voices of his brother and his favorite pair of teddy bears, namely his parents. 

Such was the warmth of Larry's family, unlike Michael's, who were quiet and always tense. 

Larry closed his eyes and let the cool night air caress his handsome face that looked pale and tired. 

"May I sit down?". Someone suddenly came up to him.

Hearing the voice, Larry immediately opened his eyes and glanced at the person. 

Immediately Larry was shocked and felt awkward. 

"Grandma!". When he realized it was indeed his grandmother, Larry immediately reacted. 

"Grandma, please sit down!" Larry shifted to give the seat next to him. 

The old grandmother looked at Larry with teary eyes while stroking Larry's head after she sat down next to Larry.

"My grandson, is this your real face? You really are the second imprint of your grandfather when he was young. Hehehe...". 

There were tears falling down her grandmother's cheeks after saying that.

"It's been more than 30 years since your mother left, and I can only hug her picture, when I heard the news about you and your brother, I was very curious, I really miss your mother because your mother is my soulmate, she is our only and most precious daughter".

Larry remained silent because he didn't know what to say, all he knew was that he was very happy.

After that, Larry bravely wiped his grandmother's tears.

"Because of your grandfather's selfishness, I lost my precious little daughter, she left and never came back, luckily your uncle always told me about her and gave me a photo of the two of you every time you grew up". His grandmother said as she hugged Larry tightly.

His grandmother said sincerely, she really missed her grandson.

"Oh... My grandson, thank you for coming! I missed you so much for a long time".

For the first time at the age of 26 he shed tears, he really wanted to reunite his mother with her extended family. But, it felt a little difficult for Larry.

"Oh yeah, how's your mom doing?". Asked the old granny while looking at Larry meaningfully after releasing his arms.

"My mom is fine, maybe now she's joking with the big teddy bear". Larry replied with a smile.

"Big teddy bear?" Asked the old granny in bewilderment. 

"I mean my father. So, the teddy bear is Mother's affectionate call to my father and vice versa". Larry explained excitedly.

From Larry's story, the old grandmother was relieved at least her daughter was healthy and happy.

"Grandma". A beautiful woman appeared and approached them.

"Why is grandma outside? It's cold here, let's go home because grandpa is waiting!". The girl continued. The old grandmother looked up at her.

"Grandma is fine! Come here... I'll introduce you to your brother!". The old grandmother took her granddaughter's hand and introduced her to her grandson. 

The beautiful girl nodded obediently, she looked at Larry with complicated feelings because Larry's handsome face was able to attract her attention as a woman.

"His name is Larry... he's Azura's son who lives in London". 

Larry immediately smiled and reached out his hand towards the girl to show his polite attitude that was happy to be acquainted.

"My name is Larry Alexander, but you can call me Larry". Larry said, introducing himself formally.

The girl's eyes did not blink at all seeing Larry, even though the place was not too bright but she could still see Larry's handsome and radiant face, even Larry's voice was able to anesthetize her.

"Oh my god... This guy is too handsome, and more handsome in real life than in the photos and on TV. It's a surprise if he turns out to be my younger cousin, if my friends know they'll be hysterical, Aaaa ...". The girl thought while smiling shyly.

"Vera...". The old grandmother was confused to see Vera dreaming, she tried to wake her up by calling her name. 

"Ahhh... Yes". The girl reached out her hand then shook Larry's hand nervously.

"I'm Vera Meyzera, but you can just call me Vera!".. After introducing herself to Larry, Vera gave her sweetest smile to Larry awkwardly.
