Serendipity : The Rebirth of Black Lotus

4. Helping Hand

In the darkness I called home
The silence my Family and the Emptiness my real friend, I saw a hand
So beautiful and bright asking to be hold, how can I not when
the peace in there waiting
to be called~~

Third POV

"Your Highness, His highness is asking your present in his study" a sharp but polite voice called a young boy he look up and nod at the Personal Butler of his Grandpa as he walked towards his Grandpa's study. He took a deep breath and knocked, and wait for a answer

"Come in" he heard as he make his way in, shocked and scared to his parents with his Grandpa. He took a notice around, his mother is looking at him softly but sadly with her beautiful smile, while his father looked blank, groaning at his father's excellent blank face which shows conceal his emotion so well that makes him more scared he stand infront of the door reconsidering should walk in OR just turn around and walk away

"Lion come here, don't worry your father is not mad at you" his grandfather says calmly, he nod and make his way inside and stand infront of his father, he feel his father's sharp eyes on him making him shrink as he keep his eyes close waiting for yelling or may be a slap but the next thing come out of his father's lips he didn't have any idea whether he should be happy or sad

"Why didn't you tell us this before?" happy because his father care well he know that his father cared about him but just couldn't show it well and sad because he feel that why didn't he tell his father before because he was afraid to disappoint his father the young boy say "I didn't want to troubled father"

He sighed and say "Well you should have told me before but it's okay I hope this doesn't happen again and if it does than contact me or father is that clear?" the young boy nod in reply his father was about to say something but cut off by his grandfather saying "Lion we have found the address of that lady and we are hopeful they must be still there" the boy look up to his his grandfather with hopeful but nervous look "So, do you want to go and check on them or-"

"I will" the young boy blurt out without thinking upon he looked with crimson cheeks his grand- father and father shared an amused look while his mother just give him an smile

"Okay than its the address I would let you go there by yourself to talk and apologize for" his father said sternly while handing him the address "But this doesn't mean you are free, intentional or not you did make a big mistake and you will be punished not that accordingly but still. I hope you don't do such mistake again"

"I would never father" with that the boy left his parents and grandpa behind while he give the address to driver. As much as he knows that he deserved the punishment he was still nervous but what he is more nervous about is how will he faced that boy would be forgive him, would he listen to him, would he understand that it was unintentional or will he just blame him he don't want that boy to hate him, but he know he probably deserve it by the horrified expression of that boy it's pretty visible that the boy was really probably extremely closed to his mother, his cries, his pleading voice, his weak attempt to get his mother awake, his small shaking frame with fear of losing his mother

He just can't forgot it, it's like everytime he close his eyes he saw that boy, he blurry remember just how moment ago the boy was so happy, he was playing with a puppy a beautiful smile on his face but ruined it all, he will most probably will never forget it, how can he when he keep seeing that boy no matter what he will make sure to help him as much as could he know he can't just expect him to forgive him but he will surely lost deep in his thoughts that he didn't realize he already got to the address looking around he asked his grandpa's butler "Are you sure this is the address?"
