“Mr. Devil”
Author by Natalie Ernison
After hearing the truth, Ellena was devastated. The people she loved so much left slowly. It all really feels so heartbreaking. The sound of her crying filled the private room of her father, Mr. Brandon.
~ ~ ~
“Dad!” shouted a hysterical Johanez at the time. While Ellena looks increasingly veiled. Even to cry already feels quite tiring for her. Johanez embraces Ell and helps Ell to sit on a chair.
“Dad. —” sucks Ell. Ell doesn't look good enough this time. Henokh, who was there, could only embrace Ell. As a sign of strengthening for the woman.
Everything that happened was completely out of Ell's mind. Ell never knew, if her father, Mr. Brandon had kept his illness a secret for a long time. Mr. Brandon wanted at the time of his death, Ell was not too down, given all his mistakes in the past.
Maybe this way, Ell will be stronger and tougher to face the reality of her life.
After a while, Mr. Brandon's stiff body was cleaned and prepared for the funeral.
***
All members of Brandon Cars' extended family gathered, except for Mrs. Flia, who is currently in a psychiatric hospital.
At a cemetery.
Mr. Brandon's body was buried in a pretty classy burial area. Considering Brandon Cars' extended family is a pretty influential person in economics.
There Ell was seated next to his father's funeral and was next to her mother's funeral.
Ell continued to sob, she is heartbreaking, as she remembered all the memories with her parents. Now that her mother and father are gone for good, Ell must stay strong through her life in the future.
“Now I'm free of the disease. Now I've calmly met my aunt,” said Johanez while patting Ell's shoulder that was sobbing so sad. Ell's cries were incessant, ever since her father breathed her one last time.
Deolofa's extended family also took part in Mr. Brandon's funeral.
“Ellena, Uncle Brandon is calm in nature,” Ms. Mishel said while gently holding Ell. Ell just shut up and kept lamenting her father's passing.
Everyone went one by one, even Brandon cars family members. But not for Ell, Ell still sits next to her father's grave.
“Everyone must be sad and devastated if their family members leave. However, to continue to lament their departure is not the solution to your grief” said Henokh embracing Ell.
Ell slowly followed Henokh's words and hugged Henokh while continuing to sobs. Henokh caressed the top of Ell's head gently.
“You are not alone, I will always be by your side,” said Henokh, and continued to caress the top of Ell's head.
"Sir Henokh, it hurts too much.." Ell crying, while dispatching her face on Henokh's sturdy given.
"I'll probably never know what it's like to be you because no one will be able to be in someone else's position of grief. Even though so many people say well I understand how you feel! Tt's a reinforcement sentence that's not wrong, but no one can understand what's in your heart, Ellena.”
"I can't promise I'll always be the best man for you, but I'll always try to be by your side, listen to all your grievances if you need me,” said Henokh, then kissed Ell on the forehead.
Ell simply fell silent, his eyes welling up as he looked up at Henokh. After saying that, Ell departed from the funeral of her father and mother.

“Brandon Cars Residence”
Ell is now at her family's residence, at the home of her late father and mother. Ell walks through the stately home, entering his father's office. So many pictures of her as a child.
Open all photo albums that are in the room.
“This is a room that even Mrs. Flia should not enter,” said one of her father's personal assistants.
“Uncle Yu,” said Ell while putting a photo album on the desk of his late father, Mr. Brandon.
“Ellena, your father loves you very much. Even since your late mother's departure, the master has been devastated. Mr. Continued to regret all his actions and even his rude attitude to the previous lady. Because during the life with Mrs. Flia, the master's treasure was slowly drained a lot.”
“I never said anything to me, uncle,” replied Ell, then sat on the couch in the room.
“Sir deliberately did not talk about it. Sir wants Miss Ellena to be a stronger woman, and not easily discouraged. However, perhaps the master's way too hard even tends to hurt Miss Ellena's feelings. But believe me, it has been a long time since Mr. Brandon planned to hand over all assets as well as shares in the name of Miss Ellena with the young master Johanez.”
Ell fell silent and returned to tears. Even the deepest thing about his father's betrayal was that he never knew clearly.
Mr. Brandon knows very well the personal character of Ellena, his daughter. So by pressing, she hopes Ellena becomes an even tougher woman. He hopes that Ell will be able to control all of the company's stock assets wisely.
Because he knows it won't belong. Since Ell's mother's departure, Mr. Brandon has experienced a pain that he himself does not want anyone else to know. Every business trip to the country, he actually went for treatment.
While with Mrs. Flia, the two often had a great fight. But they kept it a secret.
Ell also had to work as a teacher in a kindergarten, as well as as a florist. All Mr. Brandon let, to make Ell more independent and able to be more mature. Because of the plan to make Ell the heir to everything he left behind.
It wasn't easy to understand everything her father did. Now Ell has to be serious about everything her father has entrusted her with.
