"Nii-chan? Uncle and aunt have arrived too huh?" Yuki asked looking at Alva who was much taller than him.
"Yes."
"Can we go in first?"
"No," said Alva firmly, which suddenly made Yuki quite for a moment.
"Yuki! Alva!" called Seyla who headed towards the two together with her husband.
"Aunt!" Yuki replied while waving his hand at Alva's mother.
"Yuki, is your grandma really here, huh?" Seyla asked with a sad face.
"Yes aunty. Come on, Yuki can't wait," Yuki answered then pulled Seyla's hand slowly to follow him into the burial place.
Arriving at one of the tombs located at the edge of the burial grounds, Yuki stopped his tracks. Her tiny feet moving forward to put down a rose that he had bought for his beloved grandma.
"Good evening grandma. Sorry Yuki just had time to come visit again… it's been a long time since that day. Yuki didn't have enough money to come here. Today, it just happened that Yuki was at the nearby hospital. Luckily as Nii-chan, aunt, and uncle are good people, they wanted to bring Yuki to meet grandma. Oh yeah, Yuki hasn't introduced them to grandma yet. Alright then-"
"Good evening Yuki's grandma, I'm Seyla… the person that your grandson saved in an accident. This is my husband Maxim, and this is my only son Alva. I apologize because of me, your grandson had to have an accident like this," said Seyla, cutting Yuki's words. She introduced herself and her family with a slight bow to salute.
"Yuki, is okay grandma... It's a bless for Yuki being admitted to the hospital, then Yuki can visit grandma. Yuki really misses grandma. Unfortunately, now Yuki can't hug grandma anymore," continued Yuki who was slowly gloomy.
"It's okay Yuki. You and your grandma can hug in your dreams, right?" Seyla asked while stroking Yuki's back gently.
"Yes aunty," Yuki replied who then smiled back.
"It's getting night, shouldn't we go back now?" Maxim asked while looking at his watch, it was already 8 pm.
"Ah, that's right…Is it ok for you to going back now, Yuki? Seyla asked Yuki.
"Um… it's okay aunt. Next time Yuki can come back here," Yuki replied with a gentle smile.
"Okay, then Alva will now take Yuki back to the hospital first, mom and dad will have a business for a while," Seyla said to his son who had been silent all the time.
"Yes," Alva replied then put the flowers he bought with Yuki earlier on Yuki's grandma's tomb. After that, he walked away from the tomb to his car. Of course, Yuki who understood then immediately followed Alva.
"From now, we will continue to pay attention to Yuki, grandma. We will treat Yuki as our own child," Seyla said after Yuki and Alva got into the car. Yes, Seyla and Maxim have decided that they will assume that Yuki is the younger brother of their son. No, neither of them would adopt Yuki as their child. However, they will look after and care for Yuki like parents to this sweet young man.

On the other hand, currently Alva parked his car somewhere to have dinner. Yes, he decided to stop by here because he heard Yuki's stomach growl since they were on their way.
"I'm sorry, Nii-chan, Yuki has troubled you for a lot," Yuki said feeling guilty with his head bowed and his fingers intertwined one other.
"Hm," replied Alva who then rushed out of his car.
When Yuki was about to open the car door, Alva apparently had already opened the door for him. And when the little boy was about to go out of the car, Alva had already carried his body bridal style which of course made Yuki flinch.
"Nii-chan..." Yuki squeaked as his cheeks started to heat up for Alva's treatment of him just now.
"What?" Alva asked with a frown. By this time, the man had stepped into the restaurant. Did you know? Now both have become a free spectacle for those who see them.
"Yuki is embarrassed, people are watching us now. They see-"
"They have eyes," cut Alva which suddenly surprised Yuki.
"Nii-chan speaks more than two words!" Yuki shouted unconsciously which made the people who were staring at the two sneers in disapproval.
"S-sorry..." Yuki squeaked afterwards who chose to bury his face in Alva's neck.
"Get down," Alva said after finding a seat for the two of them.
"Y-yes," Yuki replied then tried to get down from Alva's arms which was quite high for his tiny legs.
"Thank you Nii-chan," Yuki said gratefully after sitting on the chair provided.
"Hm."
"Nii-chan, can Yuki ask something?" Yuki asked Alva.
"…." Not answering, Alva just raised an eyebrow which of course made Yuki understand.
"Why did Nii-chan bring Yuki here?" An innocent question, escaped from those tiny lips.
"Eat," replied Alva which of course was true.
"Why we go to a fancy restaurant like this? Didn't it take Nii-chan's much money? What if Nii-chan's money runs out for buying Yuki the food in this restaurant? As Yuki knows, one menu is usually close to—"
"Shut up." Again again and again. Alva, always interrupts Yuki's words. Of course, this sometimes makes Yuki sad and even guilty.
"Sorry Nii-chan, Yuki won't ask any more questions," Yuki replied with his head down. Not long after, the waiter came to ask what they were going to order.
"What do you want, sir?" asked the maid kindly to Alva and Yuki.
"Carbonara," Alva replied after looking at the menu.
"The drink?"
"Chocolate Milkshakes."
"What would you like to order, sir?" asked the maid who now turned to Yuki.
"Um… Nii-chan, what should Yuki order?" Yuki asked Alva asking for an opinion.
"Up to you."
"Nii-chan, Yuki doesn't know."
"…."
"Um… Is it ok, if Yuki doesn't take the dinner? The food is very expensive," Yuki said innocently. The restaurant waiter wanted to laugh when he heard Yuki's innocent quote.
"Choose."
"Yuki doesn't want to."
"Choose."
" I don't want."
"Choose."
"Yuki doesn't want, Nii-chan."
"Quickly choose!" Hearing Alva's screams, Yuki flinched in fear.
"Forgive Yuki, Nii-chan," Yuki replied with his head down.
"S-so, what do you want to order, sir?" asked the waiter who was starting to clumsily as the atmosphere became tense.
"Choose!"
"Water."
"Ha ha ha ha!" everyone who accidentally heard Yuki's words suddenly laughed.
"Tsk, you are." Alva started to get angry, everyone was still laughing at Yuki.
"Sorry! I'm sorry!" Yuki shouted loudly to everyone.
"The same," Alva finally said to the waiter. Of course, the waiter knew and rushed behind to report the order.
"Sorry that Yuki embarrassed Nii-chan," Yuki squeaked with his head down.
Alva snorted in annoyance, then he lifted Yuki's chin to look at him. Suddenly, he gasped when he saw Yuki's eye that were already shedding tears.
