Chapter 48 - I'm worried about Aden

" Sorry ..... I was about to leave and go at the hotel but ... I really wanted to look at this beautiful sunset . I may never have a chance to look at it again from a royal palace . " said Aria and both of them laughed .

Although she laughed Bekora saw that she had something troubling her .

" There's nothing for you to be sorry about . This kind of sunset is really beautiful indeed ! " said Bekora and then sat with Aria the the window's ledge .

" What is troubling you ? " asked Bekora .

Aria was caught a bit of guard when Bekora told her so .

" Nothing...nothing troubles me . " said Aria nervously .

" You know why I was able to reach the top and become a successful person easily ?! Because my special ability is to easily read other people's expression and yours right now tells me that you definitely have something. " said Bekora with a warm smile .

" I ..... I just thought of my younger brother . When seeing both you and Helios so worried over Mana , I though about him ...and about what the doctor said to me ." said Aria while grabbing her arm tightly .

" He said that he will tell you after he examines him . " said Bekora in a warm tone .

" He is a very professional doctor Bekora . Do you think that he cannot read some papers of analysis ?! He deliberately told me to bring my brother to him . He already gave me a hint by not telling me anything just for me to be mentally prepared when he gives me the bad news . Do you think I am blind enough as to realize it ?! " said Aria with a sad and sarcastic tone .

Bekora couldn't actually talk back to that fact . He had realized it since when they were at the doctor's office that things wouldn't have a good ending .

" He has a nice family who loves him very much . A genius brother and a great talented sister , he is lucky . " said Bekora and then put his hand at her shoulder .

" You don't understand Bekora ! Ace is a genius that has won the international Cambridge technology competition . He has a bright future ahead of himself , a career as a leader . He cannot be bothered with these things . My parents.....my mom is full of stress because of Aden's situation and my dad...let's not even bother talking about him . He only knows how to drink alcohol and watch tv all day . For the time being we are all taking care of him but in the future , his only source of reliance is me . " said Aria when looking at the sunset .

" Do you know...." said Aria and turned her face towards Bekora .

" When I fought against those bad people today , I thought I almost died . I don't regret saving Mana . If it were to happen again I would still do the same but I am really afraid that .....those people are looking for me and maybe even waiting for me at the hotel ...if something happens to me in the future , my only worry is who will take care of Aden . I don't think much about myself but I only want Aden to be well taken care of . When I saw both of you caring for Mana like that these thoughts of Aden being alone just won't stop from coming inside my head ." said Aria and tears kept flowing from her eyes . Salty tears filled with worry and sadness .

" Aria....." said Bekora hugged her . He felt really bad when he saw Aria's tears falling non stop down her cheeks which had become red .

" You know Aria , to me Mana is very important , just like your mother and brothers are to you . You did a very heroic act today and helped me from losing the one I cherish . I am deeply grateful to you , from the bottom of my heart , thank you Aria . " said Bekora with a warm smile and patted her head softly .

" Uhmn ! " Aria nodded her head and laughed softly .

" Aden will never be alone because he has a brave sister like you . As for those men , I will take care of them and let them feel immense pain for harming Mana and scaring you . " said Bekora with a serious face .

" Thank you Bekora ! " said Aria with a big smile and wiping of her tears .

Bekora's words put her at ease and she started to feel better . Both of them continued to stay under the warm last rays of the sun for today . Bekora still kept hugging Aria till he noticed that she was better . He let go of her and grabbed her by her shoulders .

" I should be the one to say thank you ! Thank you for saving Mana , Aria ! " said Bekora with determined eyes and a expression that Aria knew well . Just by that expression, she understood how important Mana was to him . She was as important to him as Aden was to her , maybe even more than that .

" You're welcome ! She was also very nice to me when we first met . I can't wait until she wakes up and chat with her again . " said Aria with a big smile .

" I am sure you two will be good friends in the future . " said Bekora with a smile .

" You know Bekora , the only good thing that has happened to me since I meet that annoying blonde donkey was meeting you . You have helped me a lot ! " said Aria .

While Bekora was trying to cheer Aria up , Helios was still waiting in the room for them to return .

'' It has been tweenty minutes already ! Haven't they finished yet ?! '' said Helios in a serious and impatient tone .

The door suddenly opened and Helios saw that the maid from before entered . He thought that Bekora and Aria would enter but when he saw the maid , he remained a little displeased .

Helios waited for ten minutes but Aria and Bekora weren't returning . He thought that it was weird so he decided to go and check why they were taking so long to come back .

'' Look after Mana till I come back ! '' said Helios .

'' Yes , sir ! '' said the maid and bowed then Helios left the room .

' Where are those two ? Has something happened ? ' thought Helios and walked through the corridor till he saw the stairs .

He decided to go down the stairs but the moment he was about to step on the first stair , he heard some slight laughs . Helios went to check and saw that it was Bekora and Aria . The light of the sunset was blocking his view . He used his hand as a cover to the light and when he was able to see them clearly , he remained speechless . Bekora was hugging Aria and she was hugging him back . After staying for a bit like that , Bekora patted Aria's head and she smiled happily .

' What's this ?!! I even thought that something happened to them . They are here talking and hugging to their heart's content while Mana is lying sick on the bed ! Bekora !! ' though Helios a bit angry .

'' Bekora ! '' said Helios in a loud voice .

When Bekora and Aria turned their head they noticed that the one who called was Helios . Bekora understood that he was a bit angry from his tone of voice . When he looked at Aria he noticed that he was holding her shoulder and immediately let go .
