Jerome is still in daze when they heared a knock on the door.
Everyone looks at Jerome.
Jerome blinks and coughs.
He slowly went to the door and opened it.
Jerome blinks at the curly hair puff out in the air. No its someone's hair. An alien slime-like, purple in color has a black thick afro.
"Hi." His eye brows are thick too and bushy. And it moved everytime he speaks. " I am officer Kentaro from Planet 600 management department. I will escort you to Planet Ash to met the Duke of Wrose."
Jerome heart trembles. Duke of Wrose. He always have the reaction with this person. If he saw him on the television. He will stop and watch him. When he hears his name being mentioned too in any radio. But that person is actually....the father of his son! Such a powerful man.
Jaden smiles. "Mom, is he my dad? Duke of Wrose?"
Before Jerome can answer officer Kentaro starts talking. "Ofcourse you are the Duke of Wrose son! We already checked your hospital records. Why didnt he in the hospital record when he was born? This wouldn't be delayed if you only register him properly. The Duke's been looking for Elian Fredrist and his son like forever." The officer sighs.
Everyonr gapes at the chatterbox. He sounds like he personally know the Duke and his intention.
The Officer smirks and brushes his hair with his slimy whip like hands.
"I am the Duke of Wrose......Number 1 fan!"
Jerome feels like he was in a comedy gag.
. . .
"Be careful on your way there. Make sure to follow what they are telling you and don't stray away from your mother." Joshua cries as he keeps reminding Jaden. Jaden is a younger brother Joshua never had. He likes him the moment he hold him in his arms. Even if he is not breathing then. That is why he is more affectionate to Jaden moee than Jerome. Because he had seen Jaden at his worst and love him anyways.
Jaden also hugs him. Joshua is very kind to him. Though everyone likes him. Joshua in particular loves him more. He can feel it. The other two had fallen to his mother but Joshua never had those affection. Just a fatherly feeling, that's what Joshua making him feel.
Cello is crying holding Jerome's hand. "I... I know...I..You never like me...the same way...But To you...to me....I...I really love you. You are kind, sweet and you are beautiful."
Jerome blushes and he wants to say something to make Cello feel better "I like you Cello. As a brother."
Cello wails even louder. Jerome was shocked.
"Boss..."
"If..No Duke...Me...You?"
Jerome asks himself if there is no Duke...
Jaden pushes Joshua away and seriously look at his mother and the Boss. Jaden likes this person. He obviously likes his mother but he never had a bad feeling toward him despite that. Though Jaden doesn't know how much his Dad likes the Elian now...His Dad will never like someone who likes someone else. So he is waiting to hear...if he will have a complete family or not.
"I will." Jerome honestly nods and smile. "You are sweet. Kind and you are always there when I dont know what to do. When Jaden is sick and all I can do is cry. You are there not only for me but for my child. I am actually considering it. That if in the future...You stay like this...I will accept your feelings. Because you are not hard to like Boss....June." Jerome smiles.
Jaden and Jerome walk to the space craft. Officer Kentaro keeps talking about all the glorious fights of the Duke that he watched and all his memorabilia that he bought online that the Duke uses, Jaden can tell they are all knock offs. How can the Duke's personal belonging be auctioned without his permission?
When they are finally alone, Jaden sat next to his mother.
"Mom, do you like Uncle June?" Jaden can tell that Uncle June is a kind man and his mom is right. He is there when they most needed him. If his mother wants him...then he should not be selfish.
Jerome is already nervoous meeting Drake and Officer Kentaro makes it even worst. Jerome looks startled at Jaden's words.
"Oh,my little cub, did you hear mommy and Uncle June talking?" Jerome carries him and put him in his lap. "Mom and Uncle are just chatting. Uncle June is very kind to us so what I told him is the truth. If you have no Dad and he continues his treatment..I am not made of ice, my heart will melt."
"So...you dont love him but he is good enough?" Jaden asks.
Jerome blinks and frowns. "Thats a very bad thing to say. You make it sound like Mom is an opportunist!"
"Hah!" Jaden looks away angrily. "Isnt it true though?" Jaden is not sure why he is mad. He feels like his mom is unfair to his Uncle? Is he the ridiculous one?
"That's weird. My baby is concern about Mommy's lovelife." Jerome chuckles. "Dont worry okay? Your mommy is not a bad person or a user. You will understand when you grow up that feelings are develop like this.. only a few can love at first sight."
"Do you think you love Dad at first sight?"
Jerome blushes. He think he did.
"I...Im not sure. I dont remember. Sleep. Officer Kentaro said it will take a week to reach Planet Ash."
"Mom, Im sure Dad will be happy to see us." Jaden smiles. His father will personally come to see them. He is excited.
"Um.. Sleep." Jerome smiles.
Jerome likes talking to Officer Kentaro. He is a funny guy and he likes to brag about things not related to him. Like the Duke, the King and his favorite Sandwich shop.
"What's wrong Officer?" Jerome asks
"We will have to pass an inspection before entering Planet Ash. I didn't know we need to so your Lunch will have to be delayed." Officer Kentaro apologize.
"Its nothing. Just a few minutes is nothing." Jerome holds Jaden's hand and they went with Officer Kentaro.
This is the first time Jerome will get out of the space craft after leaving Planet 600.
"I am Officer Kentaro From Planet 600 Security Department. This is our permit paper for travel. We are escorting the future Duchess of Wrose and his Son." Kentaro introduced.
Jerome and Jaden smiles at the two merman(head of a fish and body of a man)
The two merman look at each other and nods. "Are you Elian Fredrist and Jaden Fredrist?"
"I am not Fredrist yet and my son but yes we a-----"
Babababababababa.
Jerome grabs his son and hide him in his arms blocking the gun shot. But he didnt feel pain.
When he turns around. Kentaro falls down and his jelly like body turn into a poodle of slimy water.
"Ahhhh!" Jerome shouted in fear.
Series of memories flash to his mind at that moment.
'Survived!'
'Its my fault Elian.'
'Im just sad my baby will never met her dad'
BANG!
Clara's dead body falls in the ground
And boom... More and more pictures float inside his head.
Elian tears fall down one by one as his body trembles. He remembers everything. Clara's death. And who he was.
Elian holds Jaden tightly.
They are surrouded.
"What do you want?" Elian angrily asks.
The merman opens a communication device.
"Remember me?"
Elian glares at the woman in the video call.
"Marian Sachel."
