One Saturday afternoon, I visited Venus for the second time. Clara was still a task in South Korea. Nobody at home. Only a gardener there.
I asked the gardener, where the father of Venus? The gardener told me, but I had to promise not to be told Clara and Venus. I agreed.
Venus father went after being expelled by Clara, he said. At that time, Venus will be the 5th year. After not working in foreign companies due to dismissal, her father is unemployed. Due unemployed long enough, he irritable, jealous, often angry with harsh words. At that time, Venus's father snapped at Clara. The man asked for money to buy liquor. But Clara refused his request. When he would slap Clara, Venus to defend her mother. The child bite her father. Venus shouted by her father loudly.
Venus father left and never returned. Clara is a good-natured woman. He worked in the automotive company-owned South Korean businesses. Clara holds a bachelor of engineering in the field of machinery. He had important positions in the company. Clara always come home at night. He often assigned overseas. Venus felt lonely.
Venus once asked me, why Uncle alone in the house? I said, I do not have a wife. Is Uncle did not feel lonely? Venus asked anyway. Of course, lonely, I replied. But, Uncle happy to make a story, reading, cooking, gardening, and watching a good movie, I added.
One Sunday, when twilight drizzle. I was startled female voice greeting at the gate. Clara stood outside the fence. The woman's face was very pale. Her eyes were swollen and blue. I hurried to unlock the gate. She entered.
There is a little souvenir, said Clara before sitting on the couch. She was handed a large bottle wrapped in shiny brown. The contents of the bottle it is a vitamin drink for refreshment of the body from the country of Korea, namely ginseng water with honey. I asked, why Venus is not invited? Clara shocked after hearing the question. She looked at me with suspicion.
"I'm sure, Venus is here," said Clara. Her face suddenly became strained. "So, my daughter is not here?" She thought, I hid her in my house.
Clara said, Venus went from home, when she was to the office. Venus did not want to be invited to move to South Korea, said Clara. He was afraid of her father. Her father and me will fix households that had cracked. Her father had apologized. He was regretted all wrongdoing. Her father had been converted to the Lord. He was promised to be a good husband to me. And will also be a loving father to Venus. I pondered for a month, then forgive him. Venus is always obedient to me, suddenly became a dissident, she added, wiping tears.
Venus afraid of her father, said Clara. Venus always remembered, when her fifth birthday, her father did not give a birthday gift as usual, but tempered with a rough voice. Clara left, but continued to cry. Her whole body shaking. She was very panicked. She was worried, her little girl had been kidnapped by the bad guys. Sense of trepidation has snuck in my heart.
At night, I heard people say hello outside the fence. Immediately I grabbed an umbrella. I opened the door. Outside the fence seemed to me an adult male and two little girls. I hurried to unlock the gate.
"Venus!" I shouted. Venus introduced Jasmine and her father, Kevin. Venus was afraid to get home. I persuaded her. I assured Venus that her father had changed.
One hour I persuaded Venus. I told her about the arrival of Clara to my house. Your mother is very frantic and sad. "But I do not want to South Korea!" Shouted Venus. "I'm afraid of my father," she continued as she hugged me tightly.
After many times I persuaded Venus, finally she would return home. I drive her to the house.
## The End
