Capítulo 17: the pain experienced
"Yes, Daddy can run and ride for a long time. He loves such challenging sports, although for some people running is an easy thing. But they have never seen Daddy run so long and can circle the field many times. I also don't understand why Daddy always does that. I know he always wants to unwind after being tired from work or after being tired of taking care of us. If we go on vacation to a place, Daddy will choose a wild place like the forest. He will take us hunting with arrows. I feel like I'm in a fantasy movie. Because following all Daddy's activities, really makes our days unreasonable." Queen told a long story. Brandon, who heard this, immediately stopped his footsteps.
Staring at those who stopped footsteps as well, they looked at his grandfather's face and looked on Wonderingly. "Why, grandpa?" Qabel asked.
"I'm just happy and curious about what you guys have to say. I wonder how great my son, Edwards, was when he was hunting. What animals did you get? What were beasts?" asked Brandon as he ran again. He was a father who had not felt the warmth and company of his son in a long time. That's why he wanted to know so much about Edwards. Even though he got all of that from his grandchildren's story, they run again because it is impossible to stop like this. After all, the cold air in the morning will make them lazy later if they remain silent for too long.
"We hunt animals that are not wild. Daddy doesn't want to risk us anything. Moreover, Daddy always invites us and never leaves us in any case. We only hunt rabbits or jungle fowl. Then we take them back to the inn to be burned and have dinner together. Daddy said that we will always remember moments like that when we grow up. That's why Daddy wants to create many moments so that we always miss Daddy and will never leave him, even though one day we are both separated." Queen explained again.
It would be great if Brandon could feel what his son and two grandchildren were feeling then, so he could imagine what it would be like to hunt with Edwards and see his son's prowess. He was sure he would not be able to sleep well after this because of many things Brandon had missed as a father.
During Edwards' life, Brandon could not give love like a father. He was just busy with work and a new wife. Then decorated with wealth and money alone, not thinking about the beautiful moments that can create many sweet memories.
They were still running. Brandon looked back at the sky this afternoon. Why can't he feel happy with his son like now? We have been separated for many years, and until now, we have not been able to feel truly happy. No separation haunts our togetherness. Edwards also seems to be keeping his distance from Brandon and doesn't really seem to want to be together.
"Actually, Daddy always feels down if he doesn't go out. That's why we always try to make time Because we don't want our Daddy to feel sad all the time. We know that sadness is because of losing Mommy, so we can't do anything. We don't even know how to make Daddy happy. So we just let Daddy experience life outside and occasionally daydream just to look up at the sky." Qabel said very honestly, we've done one round.
Brandon chose to stop and rest for a while. He realized that the older he got, the less he had to run. His breath is not as strong as before. Just look at how sweat has flooded his temples so much.
"Oh yeah.. that is the most sensitive thing. Losing someone you love is not something to be taken lightly. Daddy Edwards loves your Mommy very much. That's why he is still stuck in the past." Brandon sighed softly and called the maid for a drink of water.
His two grandchildren did the same thing. They sat while waiting for water from the waiter. They don't seem to want to run anymore because Brandon isn't as strong as he used to be when he was younger. He can run many times and doesn't tire quickly. Now he realized that his body was already very susceptible to injury.
"It's just like that. Daddy just likes to talk about Mommy before we go to sleep. But after he finishes telling and sees we're asleep. Then Daddy will cry alone. I often see that. When I just pretend to sleep, I can't bear to see Daddy, who has been down for too long. When Daddy was alone, he never looked happy or laughed out loud. Only when we were around Daddy did he want to laugh and invite us to do lots of things to spend time together. Although Daddy often hides his sadness, we know. We know that sadness is like confining Daddy's heart." Qabel said while looking at the front. Maybe he felt unfortunate when he thought about his father's face, which was slumped.
Brandon seems to have hit a lot of harsh realities. He held his own chest and felt that the pain Edwards was feeling was nothing compared to Brandon's pain all along. The difference is that the pain in their lives may not be visible to the naked eye, only people who know them closely know what really happened.
Brandon clasped the hands of his two grandchildren at the same time. Those who sat on the right and left of his grandfather's body were just silent as our hands held each other.
"Daddy and Grandpa also feel the same pain. We are both hurt by the loss. But Grandpa promised, after this Grandpa will make your father happy, I will make you happy too. No more sad faces and sad faces that will make you look at Daddy Edwards. I want to be happy. Daddy Edwards wants to be happy too. We all want to be happy. But before we do that, we have to find a way out of all this suffering. We must be able to let go of all the burdens and obstacles that are waiting in front of us. We can be happy if we are together. So will you help Daddy and me to get that happiness?" Brandon asked in a low voice to them. Qabel and Queen looked at the same time. Their faces seemed not to understand what his grandfather was explaining.
"What?" Asked Qabel and Queen at the same time.
"Don't bother your father for a while. He is doing quite a complicated thing. So you just need to be with Grandpa to do many things without asking your father where. How about it?" Brandon asked his two grandchildren.
"Okay, Grandpa, we'll do what Grandpa wants," said Qabel and Queen simultaneously.
Not long after, the maid came to bring the drink, but why even hot tea?
Even though Brandon had asked for water, why did he bring hot tea? But since he didn't want to overthink, he just accepted. More precisely, the three's workers received the teacup the maid brought earlier.
Brandon didn't drink it right away. He just let the warmth from the glass touch the skin of his hands. Qabel and Queen also just stood there thinking. Brandon was wondering if they would accept what Brandon suggested. Because all this time, his two grandchildren used to live with Edwards.
"But.. If we do what Grandpa wants, what will Grandpa give us?" It was Queen's voice. Brandon could already smell the cunning scent of his granddaughter. She looked into her eyes. She smiled guiltily. What would Brandon give her?
It was clear earlier. They wanted to help Brandon to make their father happy, but his two grandchildren asked for something in return. ckckckck, you little kid. They are like babies asking for milk after playing.
"Okay, what do you want? If you really won't bother your father. Grandpa will give you anything." Brandon said to Queen, Look what happened to his granddaughter's face now. Her face was already smiling widely without feeling guilty.
"I want Grandpa's white peacock!" Queen's words made Brandon raise an eyebrow in confusion. Bad white peacock? Is it a rare bird? Or one of the ferocious species?
"Queen? Don't ask like that. You could be scolded by Daddy later." said Qabel to his sister.
When he hears the words of Qabel this time, Brandon is sure this is not a random bird, ah.. his granddaughter is very similar to the Douglas family, always asking for profit.
"It's okay, Qabel, say it's a gift from Grandpa. Daddy will understand, right Grandpa?" Queen gave adorable eyes. Again Brandon would be fooled by those eyes.
"Okay, if you're Qabel? What do you want? Don't ask for planes. I'm out of money if you ask for fighter planes." Brandon said casually, even though he wasn't sure if Qabel would ask for a fighter plane.
