Chapter 6: uncomfortable

Cali felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't even smell the appetizing dishes lying in her nose.

The subject that had been discussed was a very sensitive subject for the Artus family. Beryl Artus, Klan's father had been at odds with his parents for several years.

In the Artus family moral values ​​such as honesty, respect and the sacrament of marriage were sacred. On the other hand, Beryl did not share his same values, he was a very attractive and well-off man, so the gap between him and his parents widened after his numerous extramarital affairs, his divorce and the birth of his illegitimate children.

her parents could no longer bear her actions and when they confronted them, Beryl decided to free herself, once and for all, from this family, including the fruit of her suffocating marriage. he broke all contact with his parents who themselves had no intention of keeping him. This was the reason why Klan didn't want his stories to reach his grandfather's ears, he didn't want them to feel that same pain and above all, to look like his father.

"You bring it all back to Beryl, go fix your issues with your son and leave my grandson alone and... you make Cali uncomfortable"

The intervention of Nena, Klan's grandmother, loosened the atmosphere a little, then everything becomes tense again when the grandfather asks

"Cali, is it true that I make you uncomfortable?"

'Yes of course you do! I'm so uncomfortable that I can barely swallow my saliva', that's what Cali would have liked to say

"N…no, not at all", she said instead

Cali was more nervous than ever, so much she was crying inside. In addition, she turns to Klan with pleading eyes, he was the only one who could relieve her, a little bit of her nervousness, but he was too focused on reflecting on himself

"How can she tell you otherwise, if you ask her that!" Decidedly, Klan's grandmother was the heroine of this evening

The old man carefully observes the two young people who were not really enthusiastic about the situation

"Aah! …" he sighs then, in a calmer tone

"I received news regarding what you asked me Klan"

"About Neil!!" exclaims Klan, suddenly enthusiastic again. Cali sat up in her chair when she heard Neil's name, she too wanted to know more.

"Yes… last I heard he would be somewhere in the Russian region"

Wilson notices that the faces of the two teenagers have lighten up at the news; he clears his throat and continues

"Don't jump for joy so quickly… Since diplomatic relations are not good with this region, we couldn't get more information… I advise you to be patient, your friend will reach to you himself when things settle down"

When things settle down? what did that mean. What had happened so that Neil was sent, who knows where and that he could not even give a sign of life to his closest friends?

Tons of questions were jostling in Cali's head but it was Klan who outweighed her

"Grandpa what do you mean by that?"

"I don't know the details, but there are things you young people don't know about your friend's family. If he had stayed, he would have been in big trouble"
