After Mrs. Anne told Axel everything was a fact, which certainly made Axel's heart a little touched to hear it. But Axel understands everything that happened to his mother and also Mrs. Anne's marriage to Mr. Albert. Mrs. Anne seemed silent, contemplating what she and Axel had just said. Could there be regret for having told her youngest son? Or vice versa? "Thank you Mom for wanting to explain to me, I'm happy to hear your explanation," Axel said looking at Mrs. Anne with a sweet smile. "I'm happy because I can finally find the answer I've been looking for," continued Axel in a very soft voice. He would be grateful if he met Mrs. Anne on time, maybe if he was still delaying the time, he would not have received this information. "You aren't disappointed, knowing all that?" Again Mrs. Anne asked that because she was afraid that later Axel would be disappointed about what Mrs. Anne said. Because Mrs. Anne kept it a secret, afraid to make the children disappointed in herself for making a stupid deal with Mr. Albert. Axel shook his head firmly, and quickly. "I don't feel disappointed at all, Mon. I also understand that it's very visible that it seems like Father doesn't need a companion by his side," Axel answered. "Because I too often see dad, who can take everything by himself and doesn't need anyone's companion. That's why I wasn't so surprised when I heard your answer," Axel finally said. "But I'm still wondering why my father doesn't want a companion but he wants to have children. That's all I'm still asking," Axel replied because he was surprised at Mr. Albert. His hands that were originally linked were now released, he replaced them by rubbing his face roughly. Mrs. Anne chuckled softly, she changed her sitting position so she could be more comfortable chatting with Axel. "Because Mr. Albert, your father, doesn't want his wealth to run out quickly. Because maybe in his opinion, if there is a companion, the expenses will increase, right? And he thinks that I just like to blow money," replied Mrs. Anne, making Axel chuckle in annoyance to hear the answer from Mrs. Anne. "You know yourself, if you have a family, expenses will come out a lot. Especially if you have a wife, to ask for monthly money, even though I don't force me to give monthly money to me," added Mrs. Anne, letting out the anguish in her heart, which she had kept for so long but finally expressed it together with her child. This time, Axel was a little surprised to hear Mrs. Anne's answer regarding this matter. "Just because of that, my father made a deal?" Axel shook his head in disbelief, it was really strange what was in his father's brain. "Why does daddy look so stingy," muttered Axel, because a treasure who cares about his wealth doesn't need a companion? Mrs. Anne could only smile. "Yes, it can't be helped, if that's your father's wish. I can't refuse anymore, can you?" Axel also confirmed what Mrs. Anne said, Mrs. Anne could only accept her fate now that she was thirsty to part with her three children. "Even though it's the same isn't it? Taking care of three children alone, then eating at your own expense doesn't make any difference," Axel replied. "It's like what you said, he doesn't want his wealth to run out quickly because wealth usually runs out only because of his wife. Maybe that's Mr. Albert's mind," continued Mrs. Anne explaining and answering Axel's confusion. Silence fell on the both of them, Axel drank coffee to relieve his nervousness and awkwardness. While Mrs. Anne just stared at Axel's movements, which seemed to be something she felt. "You don't know about the relationship between father and mother?" Ask Mrs. Anne, Axel has an older brother, maybe Axel's older brother has never talked about this to Axel? Axel could only shake his head. "I didn't know about the relationship between Mom and Dad at all, and I just found out if it wasn't you who said it and I asked you," Axel replied in a voice that sounded relaxed. "Your brother didn't tell you?" Axel frowned, hearing the question from Mrs. Anne. "All this time my two brothers know about mom and dad?" Instead of answering Axel, he asked back, Mrs. Anne's question made it seem as if her two older siblings already knew what was going on. Just don't tell Axel. "I am just asking, maybe your father also told your two brothers," replied Mrs. Anne quickly, but Axel looked at Mrs. Anne sharply while drowning her head. "They are also older, I think they will be notified first before telling you later." Again, Axel was silent for a moment, hearing Mrs. Anne's statement that there was some truth about that. "My brother never talks about you at home. That's why I wonder who my real mother is because no one wants to tell me," replied Axel, Mrs. Anne's heart ached to hear that her two children had never asked about her at all. But how can that be, if Mrs. Anne no longer has the right to the three children she gave birth to? Mrs. Anne could only chuckle softly, and laugh a little at Axel's answer. "Maybe your father once forbade your two older brothers to meet you. That's why they never asked about you," thought Mrs. Anne, Axel just shrugged his shoulders not understanding what was on Mr. Albert's mind. "Maybe it seems so. I've never asked Dad about you either," Axel replied, Mrs. Anne nodded her head in agreement. "I'm afraid, you'll be angry because you find out you're meeting with me," said Mrs. Anne suddenly making Axel frown, not understanding Mrs. Anne's words. "Why should you be afraid, Mom? Did my father forbid you to meet her children too?" Mrs. Anne quickly shook her head, rejecting Axel's thoughts and assumptions. Because that was never said by Mr. Albert. "It's not like that, your father never risked forbidding me to meet you and also your brother, but who knows your father's mind has now changed," replied Mrs. Anne. Axel could only exhale resignedly, hearing the words Mrs. Anne said. He also did not know now, about his father's thoughts. "Don't be afraid, Mom, maybe I won't say this to Dad. But I don't promise," Axel grinned, making Mrs. Anne laugh too at Axel's words. They also chatted longer, about what happened after that.
