Chapter 4 - Recollection

When his fever got better the family brought him back to the manor, his father was present this time, an imposing looking man; tall, well built with wide shoulder, narrow hip and muscle that could never be hidden even while wearing the blue regular fitted four piece suit, ruby coloured eyes identical to his, and light blond hair similar to that of his sister's.

Walking out of the hospital he felt a tad embarrassed, his family members were all tall with elf looking faces, looking at the reflection that's showing through the entrance glass he could see that although his face were handsome, his cute chubby body was smaller than what kids his age should look like.

The way back home were smooth, after passing the city centre to the outer part of the town there were hardly any traffic, the street where their house situated were filled with huge villas with grand gates. When he arrived although his face was calm, his heart was palpitating as though desperate not to come out. Through the grand gate was a small fountain used as the roundabout for cars, to one side lie the entrance of the underground park and the other side was a garden big enough to build another villa, the house itself has three floors, the hall, kitchen and rooms luxurious enough to come out of an architect's advertisement plan, out the back was a far bigger garden, with all kinds of flowers and potted fruit tree arranged to create a city garden kind of feel, there was also a big pool with umbrellas and beach bed around it. To make it even better, a green house used during tea parties was placed remotely further from both the house and pool.

If not heaven, then he didn't know what this place could be.

looking out his balcony he was taking pleasure in looking at the views of his new home.

By snack time, he was getting more used to being in his new body and new family. While enjoying the macaroon and hot chocolate brought by his nanny, he was trying to sort out all of his memory. His past life as Nata was still fresh in his mind, every knowledge he's ever learnt, pain he's ever felt and work he'd done he could recollect without missing a single minute of it, and the reason he was able to calmly take the fact that she was leaving her family from the previous life was a certainty that despite being sad of her passing her family could still live frivolously till old age because of her accumulated wealth.

What Gabriel was distressed with was the fact that his new self although loved by family and the worker and is living in an abundant of wealth was without an outside involvement. In summary, he was a loner.

He'd met with a lot of kids his age but they were mostly the snobbish kids of his parent's friends and acquaintances. He went to no kindergarten due to having the surplus of servant and an exclusive nanny, and have made up to zero friends when brought to a social gathering due to his shy nature. He was a loner through and through.

-that's it, that's my to do list for these few weeks, it's to make a friend!- he thought in his heart.

Leaving the memories and goals aside, he was reminded of his first memory of when he was suddenly conscious of who he was before. The recollection of it was enough to give him goose bumps, a child as young as him, with an angel-like face, purposely pushing him to the cold pool with a smile on her face. Thinking back on it, although he has no friends, it looks like he at least has one enemy. Though negative as can be, attention was still attention, from this he at least knew that he is real and is living, he exist in this time and not just a mere figment of his dreams nor imagination.
