Both the siblings looked outside, their uncle was standing outside, talking with a bodyguard. He was standing straight, hands in the pocket and talking with the bodyguard confidently. His posture seemed… perfect! Like a true leader. They came outside and all of them sat in the car.
After about a two-hour drive, they reached the lakeside place. Song Hao said, "This road is still the same! I thought this road will be redeveloped." Qiang replied from the front seat, "It's good on the other hand. At least, it is less crowded because of it."
This place was the favorite place of the entire Song family. That is why uncle Song decided to made the tomb at this place. The café near the lake was sponsored by his sister-in-law. Back then, she helped the owner of this place to open a café near this lake.
They went near the tomb. Song Qiang was shocked seeing that the tomb was pretty clean as if someone visited the tomb not many days ago. Song Hao felt that too so he asked, "Uncle, do you visit the tomb often?" Uncle Song nodded, smiled and looked down. For some reason, both the siblings started liking him more.
Three of them started clearing the dust. After cleaning, uncle Song placed the flowers and lighted the incense sticks. He then kowtowed three times. Song siblings did the same.
Uncle Song said, "Brother, sister-in-law, today Hao is also there with us. Just look at him… brother, he is looking exactly like you, a fine gentleman! Sister-in-law, just as you said, our Hao became a doctor. He is now Dr. Song Hao! You should talk with them now, they both are here this time." He turned aside and sat on the grass.
Both the Song siblings knelt on the ground. Song Hao said first, "Dad, mom, how are you? I hope you are doing well there. Don't worry about us, we are also doing fine. Mom, you never told me that you wanted me to become a doctor. Uncle was shocked when I told him that I wanted to study medicine. He then told me that you secretly wanted this. Dad, being like you is very difficult!"
Song Qiang added, "That is why I chose to become like you mom! I might have inherited dad's face but don't worry mom, I would like to be extroverted, just like you."
Song Hao folded his hands and said, "Have you told mom and dad that you wanted to enter the underworld?" Song Qiang sheepishly said, "I was going to tell them when I will create my own clan." Uncle Song laughed and Song Hao chuckled.
Looking at uncle Song, Qiang said, "But dad, mom, you know what… you don't have to worry about uncle too! Your little Song Dae Hyun has changed a lot. Dad, you always used to worry about uncle, right? But now, he runs our whole empire single-handedly. Also, he never left us alone, he tries his best to fill your place in our heart."
A single droplet fell from Qiang's eyes when he remembered the past.
He continued while crying, "That day… when you left us… Uncle didn't come home for whole day… we thought that just like you… uncle also abandoned us… next day, he was completely soaked in the water… and hugged us tightly… apologized us… and promised that he will never leave us alone… from now on, he will be our parent…"
Song Hao hugged his crying brother and continued for him, "It's true…he looks at our company just like you dad, and mom, he always cooks for us, takes care of us, just like you… he still miss both of you so much and feel lonely but he never let us know…"
Uncle Song was startled. He never realized that they would notice these things. He did it because he was also a parent in his last life.
When he came into this era, it took him almost an entire day to sort out the things. later he realized that this Song Dae Hyun was really going to abandon his nephews, who were waiting for him at home, and suicide like a coward. Due to his paternal instincts, he ran home and hugged them. Just like these kids lost their parents, he also lost his two kids. He didn't know where are his kids in this life, do they even exist in this world… so he promised this Song Dae Hyun that he will become the parent of these two siblings.
He wiped his tears and scolded, "Yaah! Who told you to mature so early? Don't focus on these things… instead you, Qiang, study hard and join me as soon as possible! And Hao you, why are you supporting him?"
Song siblings laughed at their uncle's scolding. Qiang jumped on his uncle and said, "You are the best uncle!"
Song Hao also joined. Even if he pretends to be the mature one, when it's his uncle, he prefers to be like Qiang.
Uncle Song said, "Alright alright, aren't you hungry? Let's have lunch." Song siblings nodded, but they realized that they forgot to bring the lunchbox with them. It's still in the car which was parked near the café.
Uncle song was about to call the guard but Qiang said, "Let me bring it," and jogged back towards the café.
When he reached down after ten minutes of jogging, he went near the car and took out the lunchbox. He looked at it and said, "Ohh, butler Lin must have forgotten to give one extra set of silverware for brother. Let's borrow from café, they must have a spare one," and went towards the café.
"Good morning, welcome to… ohh young master Qiang!" the part-time service girl said. Qiang smiled and greeted her looking at the watch, "Good…afternoon I guess now. Do you have spare tableware?" the girl nodded and asked, "Should I also give plates or just spoon and chopsticks?" Qiang replied, "Oh no-no, just spoon and chopsticks will be fine. If possible, give me three sets of it." He thought about the guard and Mr. Secretary, who might join them later.
The girl said, "Yes of course, just wait a minute, I will be right back." Qiang smiled and nodded. He turned and started to look around the café. Just then, a girl caught his attention.
A girl was sitting quietly at the window seat, looking at the calm lake. She was gorgeous, but the sorrow on her face was overshadowing it. She… seemed alone… and lost. Qiang felt a sudden urge to hug her and give her assurance that she is not alone. His train of thoughts broke when he heard a voice from behind, "Young master, here is your tableware."
He looked behind and said, "Huhh? Ohh thank you. Have a good day." She replied, "Most welcome, have a good day to you too!"
While leaving, he once again looked at that girl. She was staring at the lake but her phone ringed, so she checked and a smile appeared on her face. She kept her mobile down and started looking for someone.
Involuntarily, he also smiled but then he realized that she smiled because of someone… who texted her just now. He shook his head and left.
When he reached near the tomb, Song Hao said, "What took you so long?" Song Qiang thought about that girl but shook his head and said while sitting down, "Uncle Lin forgot to give an extra set of silverware for you, so I went in the cafe to borrow them."
Uncle song opened the lunchbox and Qiang gave tableware to everyone. He asked the guard, "Brother, you should also join us. Come here," the Guard replied, "Thank you young master, you should enjoy the lunch, I am better here."
Song Hao asked, "Still there is one extra set, for whom?" Qiang looked at uncle Song and asked, "Isn't Mr. Secretary joining us today?" Uncle Song said, "Oh he will be late so he won't be joining us for lunch. He will come later." The four of them had lunch peacefully.
Song Qiang was still thinking about the girl he saw before, 'Is she alright? Who was that person?' after about an hour, they bid goodbye to the tomb and went near the café.
While going, Qiang excused himself, "Ahh… I want to use the washroom, please wait for me," and went inside the café to look for that girl.
Surprisingly, that girl was still there! Qiang observed that she was telling her worries to her friend. That friend must have cracked a joke and she laughed. She seemed feeling good and energetic.
Qiang thanked inwardly the girl who was sitting opposite of her, 'Whoever you are, thanks for helping her." He then went inside, washed his hands and came out.
The scene was different this time, the girl was literally beating her friend but laughing at the same time. For some reason, Qiang liked her happy mode and a broad smile appeared on his face.
When he came out, he saw that Mr. Secretary was coming towards them. Uncle Song said, "Here you are! Where have you been?" Qiang ran towards them and said to his brother, "Brother, look, he is Mr. Secretary I have been talking about."
Gon greeted everyone, "Good evening master and younger master. Hello young master Hao, I am the secretary of Master Song." Song Hao liked the first impression of Mr. Secretary. Whatever Qiang was saying about him was indeed true.
Just then, everyone heard a sweet voice from behind, "Ohh! Hello Mr. Secretary…"
