"Sir? Haven't you notice him? he gonna explode, A walking timebomb." Fred answer with a small talk. The old man shocked and the girl confused why he said it.
"Bomb? He just-" before the girl finish her sentence the old stop her by interrupting it, saying what's done is done. The old man wants to immediately apologize to the boy and the father. The girl raise her hands and suggest she will go and apologize face to face. The old man surprised as what her granddaughter said and then he agreed.
It seems the misunderstood the whole incident that is why they forgive the man called fred.

My neck still hurt whenever I touch it, I still dont understand why he did that to me. I think my dad regret why we go to the mansion, I got in trouble again. I apologize to my father because of what happened and he told me that it is not my fault, it's just happen.
Without I even notice we are in front of our house, seems like I'm too focused on thinking earlier, but is it me or theres a girl in front of the house look familiar. what? Ms. Sihlney? how did she come so fast. That's weird, yet she's here.
"Ms. Sihlney?" My father also trouble to understand why she standing to our house.
"I apologize on behalf of my grandfather" she bow and her maid beside her without hesitation. My father flustered as he was telling them to stop doing it,he told him it was nobody's fault. Even though my father said it they continue to bow until my father give up and telling them he will forgive them.
"even you apologize we still forgive you all"
The girl stand formally then persuade him to accept the proposal, She was surprised to the food he make earlier before the incident.
and want to eat something like that in the event where they will hosting in the next month.
Is my father really good? I tilt my head with a dumb face, still couldn't accept the fact that even rich family are wanting my father's food. Then the girl speak after she apologize and shock me with her sentence.
"Mr. Gowonlich, but can I ask for favor?"
"Vahter is fine young highness" father replied.
"Can I borrow your son to be our guide in these island tomorrow?" she asked immediately, She really said that! My father looked at me and hoping he notice that I didn't want to, He thumbs up to me and telling that leave up to him. I sigh with relief, I think he understands what I mean.
"yes" without hesitation and smile so stupid. I slap my face because of what happened while my father laugh to my reaction.
Later that night I tried to make excuses to him of why I shouldn't go but he counter attack my sentence with a powerful phrase to our family.
" We don't break promises." It's harder now that I remember my mother's promised to me, still I didn't see my father's laugh for a while so it's relief I got to see it. I guess I should really go but I must prepare before she really kill me. My dad will never believe of what I would say that is why I must prepare secretly. Throughout the night I can't sleep still of what I should bring and before I notice it the small hand of the clock are pointing in one am, I scratch my eyes to focus but the hand really pointing in one. I realized it is really one am, I immediately pack my things and recheck, it took thirty minutes to clean then I immediately grab the blanket. I'm still rechecking to the things I put till I slowly close my eyes.
I hear a scream, scream of a woman I do not know. A scream that needs some help, I quickly open my eyes and saw the the mansion got swallowed by the fire, people are running, escaping to this unsightly view. What is happening here? before I look more in the scene a sudden wall beside me crumble and hit me, before I knew it I woke up with a lot of sweat, which is weird also to me. what in the world did I saw, It is still clear to me what happen yet I can't really tell why did I dream that.
A sudden bell interrupt my thoughts, I ignore it for the first time yet the constant rang gives me annoyed and come down upstairs to our house. it is still early in the morning yet it so impatient. I yell and tell that I'm coming yet they still pushing. Because of that I got pissed telling them to knock it off.
The maid Ana suddenly apologize to me telling me that it actually noon. I saw ana and young highness sihlney with a car behind them staring at me. Now that she mention it, it is noon I immediately bow down to the ground and apologize earnestly to them. Ana panic and telling me that it is okay since they didn't told me the time we meet up. But the young highness didn't say anything and actually let herself in the house,then Ana follows and told me I should be ready for the afternoon guide.
Few minutes later, I rush things and ready to set out, with a bicycle helmet I wearing and a bag full for alert things Incase we lost or whatever. then after I show to our small living room, they stare and silence for a moment. A sudden burst out loud coming from the young highness with no regard to the surrounding, Ana also giggles and smile to me, I guess I'm to hilarious right now
"Just like I though you're so interesting Mr.Riss." She remember me I though she didn't bother to memorize my name.
"Eric is fine young highness" telling her that I'm not used to calling by my surname.
then she closely walk to me, almost eight inches apart from me then saying that I should also calling her by her nickname. I refuse saying that would be inappropriate yet she insist. Im too focuse to our distance while she also getting closer to me, I gave up and accept the offer.
"Ella, call me ella" I guess she and her old man is kind of resemblance.
"So, where should we go eric?"
