Chapter 3 Texas, I’m coming

Kringgg...

The alarm sound indicates 4 am. It was too early, but Yu Ling and her mother had to get up for an early flight. Since all of their luggage had been packed neatly since yesterday, so they didn't have much preparation to do. Just focus on their bodies.

The distance from the house to the airport is only 1 hour.

"Good morning, Mom." Greeted Yu Ling who then kissed Yuna's cheek.

"Good morning, my baby." Yuna put a smile on her face. "Are you ready for our journey?"

"Of course I am."

That morning, Yu Ling wore a black short-sleeved t-shirt with the brand 'Gracia' written on it, plain black jeans, and a red premium leather jacket. Very simple. Her straight and thick hair makes her confident to braid from the top of her head to the ends of her hair to the side of her left ear. Newfangled sunglasses classic, adding to her aura as someone mysterious.

"Mom, I know it's too late to ask. I was wondering, why do you choose Texas as our new life?" asked Yu Ling who was sitting in the waiting room after taking the boarding pass.

"Did you just realize that question?"

"No, it's been a long time."

"Then why do you think it has to be Texas?" Yuna asked a question she should have answered. While smiling defiantly.

"Are you testing me?"

"You can say that."

"What's the reward?"

"How about Mommy help find a handsome boy for you? Of course with the criteria you like." Teases Yuna who offers a deal.

"As my driver?"

"Such as an idiot girl. Of course as your future husband." Yuna tried to pull Yu Ling's cheeks.

"Mom, forget it. I know you had this all planned from the start.

"Come on dear," Yuna whined.

"Forget about the reward. I am not interested. For the reason to reach Texas, because you want to hang out with Uncle Alvino, right." Answered Yu Ling who immediately stood up and left Yuna without asking whether the answer was correct or not.

"Heyyy don't leave your lovely Mommy," Yuna shouted in a voice that made those around her turn their heads toward Yuna.

'This child. Is she a lesbian? Never brought a man into the house but was offered the man even refused. The type of child today is very difficult to predict. My son is too mysterious.' Yuna thought as she reached into her iPhone in the 'Gracia' version of the Birkin bag.

Meanwhile, Yu Ling tried to pay attention to her surroundings. OH TEXAS, I'm coming.

'Gimme an awesome life without getting bored every day. Would you introduce love to me….' She thought

10 hours later….

Yu Ling and Yuna arrived at a house in Texas, it is not too big but had a fairly large garden. Enough parking for three to four cars. The red gate opened.

"Mommy bought this house?" asked Yu Ling who was still in the car.

"Yes, sweetheart. Why?"

"Isn't this too big for both of us?"

"You're right. That's why Mommy invited Alvino to live with us. This house is still enough for Alvino and his future wife as well as your future husband and children also." Said Yuna who looked happy and then pinched Yu Ling's cheek. Her hands always wanted to touch Yu Ling's face, especially that part. Yu Ling just stayed silent with a flat gaze, letting her mother do what she wanted.

They get out of the car. There was one housekeeper and 1 man who seemed to be a gardener to greet the two beauties.

"Welcome, Mrs and Miss Gracia." With a smile, the man was quick to help unload things in the trunk of the car.

"Thank you."

"Hello everyone, I am Yu Ling Gracia, the daughter of this woman who is next to me. Nice to meet you." Greeted Yu Ling with a sweet smile for them, while her hand pointed at Yuna. Yuna, who realized that her daughter was annoyed, immediately followed her.

"What's the plan, Mommy? That must be good, right?"

"Yes, good, for Uncle Alvino."

"For you too."

"Yes yes. It's up to you." She is walking and looking for her room. "This is my room, right?" she asked Yuna, pointing to a room on the second floor with the door open.

Because too getting tired, Yu Ling lays down on the double bed.

"Yes. Mommy's room is on the first floor. Uncle Alvino's room too. In other words, the second floor is yours. You are free to design and do whatever you want." It was Yuna who spoke by leaning against the wall. She tried to check the situation outside from the second-floor balcony. "Sweetheart, when you're in college, you can use this path for the occasional climb." Invite Yuna who suggests something that sounds strange. "Mommy won't catch you."

"Hah? What for?" She asked.

"For smuggling."

Yu Ling's brow furrowed. Think for a moment about the direction of this conversation. What did her mother want to say? Her wide eyeballs looked at Yuna.

"Don't think it's too much, my baby." Yuna gave the advice knowing that Yu Ling didn't understand the point. Yuna walked up to the girl and kissed her forehead. "Take a rest, baby."

Tomorrow…

Yu Ling finished bathing. The towels were black, making her white skin color visible in the glass. The reflection of the glass showed Yu Ling's cute face without makeup. On the bed is a peach-colored dress with black lace.

In front of the house, I heard the sound of a car. Peeked from the window, a black Lamborghini. The man gets off from the car, he is about 30 years old. A neat shirt, brown stripe, and gray blazer make him look younger. Yu Ling, who sees Alvino's presence, just keeps sitting quietly by the window. There is no initiative to go out and greet the man.

"Good night, Sir". The household servant greets the man.

"Good night," Alvino replies.

"Madam and Miss Gracia are already waiting inside."

"Okay, thank you. Oh yeah, some stuff is in the trunk. Bring it to my room, please."

"Yes sir."

When he arrived at the door, he met a beautiful girl wearing a peach dress. "Hi, Vee." Greeted Alvino with a smile and waved his hand.

"Ciih." Yu Ling snapped.

Approaching, still smiling and responding to Yu Ling's cold demeanor. And….

TAAAKK….

"Hey, it hurts..." Yu Ling shouted. "Mom... Mommy…."

Yuna walked from the kitchen. It looked like she was preparing dinner but soon came after hearing her daughter's screams.

"What happened, baby?" asked Yuna who panicked. Meanwhile, Yu Ling ran and took cover behind Yuna's body.

"He hurt me. Look at this. I've made up but instead was given a red mark." In an annoyed tone and complained to her mother.

"Hi… Alvino." The welcome was accompanied by Yuna's hug to her sister-in-law.

"Hi Sis, how are you?"

"Very good. I am so happy to see you. And now we live together." The happiness that Yuna has always been waiting for is gathering with her family. Alvino is the only brother owned by Aland, so it is only natural for Yuna as her husband's representative to take care of his brother-in-law.

Buuukkkk….

Suddenly Alvino fell on the floor. His hands held his chest. From his expression, it looks very sick.

"What are you doing, sweetheart?" shouted Yuna who panicked seeing Yu Ling hitting Alvino's chest.

"Haha. It's the revenge. Don't ever hurt anyone if you don't want that to come back to you." Yu Ling said as he put on a stance like he was going to fight his opponent in the boxing ring arena.

"Stop it! You think he's a punching bag that you can hit at will?" Yuna protests her daughter who always acts like a bar to men.

"Eeeehhhh..." with a long tone. "Why are you becoming upset, Mom? Mommy should have punched him for hurting Mommy's only daughter." Yu Ling played articulation of speech that was made slow and stammered.

"If you just punch the mature guy, Mommy will accompany you as your opponent!" Yuna who tried to threaten and challenge

The position of the stance changed to an upright stance with both hands behind the back. "Yes Mam, I was wrong." Yu Ling shouted so loudly that the housekeeper and gardener who was behind heard the screams.

"I have no idea. I don't remember what I ate when I was pregnant with this girl." Yuna was walking back and forth while massaging her nose bone.

"Mommy, I'm hungry." Yu Ling whined pulling Yuna's dress.

"Look at you. Now, you should apologize to Uncle Alvino, then Mommy will allow you to have dinner." Yuna ordered firmly.

"Hahaa ... you always have an interesting drama to enliven the atmosphere of this house." Said Alvino who laughed out loud. Slowly stand up.

"Does it still hurt?" Yuna asked in such a gentle tone.

"Ciiih..." Yu Ling snapped.

"Yu Ling!!" Yuna shouted. "Don't make Mommy upset because of your behavior."

"I do nothing, Mom."

"It's okay, Sis. Yu Ling just wants to play with me. Is it right, my little girl?" asked Alvino with a wink as a code.

The three of them walked to the dining room. Yuna walked in front, while Alvino and Yu Ling walked together.

"Hey, uncle. Where is your girlfriend?"

"He hasn't been made by his parents."

"Hmmm… when will they make it?" while sitting at the table.

"I don't know. Maybe this evening."

"So you're a pedophile, right?"

"Why?" asked the surprised Alvino.

"Now you are 30 years old, in 10 years it will be 40 years old, while he will be 10 years old. Wouldn't you be a predator if you made her a bride?" said Yu Ling trying to offend.

Not wanting to lose, Alvino said, "Hey Vee, do you know why I called you Vee?"

Yu Ling, who had been watching Alvino's annoying face, started tapping the table with his index finger.

"Because I'm Vantastic right?" he answered with the shape of his lips that deliberately became ugly.

"ha ha ha." Standing up, Alvino shouted, "That's because you are still a virgin."

Brakkkk…. "Hey, virgin be quiet. I just want to keep it for the right people. While you? If the girls over there know your sleeping habit of wearing undergarments and drinking milk, surely they won't like spoiled boys like you." The table below made by Yu Ling spontaneously made Yuna shocked and unable to move. Not because anything bad happened to him, but because he had to mess around with his daughter's anarchic attitude.

Still hearing their debate, Yuna then took a knife and stuck it on the table.

TUUUKK…

Yu Ling and Alvino who glanced at the thing stuck on the table made of wood could only be silent and looked down.

"Dinner time…." Yuna said with a smile that she was annoyed with the two of them. Yuna then took a plate of pudding as a dinner dessert. Sit down and get ready to eat.

"SIT DOWN!" Yuna ordered coldly,

Amazingly, the two of them sat down.

"HAVING DINNER!" she commanded again.

Wow, they immediately turned the plate over, took the food, and started the food.

That's the Gracia family's funeral event where Yuna ends up as the winner.
