BLACKLIST

EPISODE ONE

Charles Andrew loves to play in his tablet all day when it's weekend. He used to spend time with his tablet, rather than spending time with his parents that are too busy in their family business. This is the reason why Charles grew up feeling alone.

Because of his parents' busy schedule everyday, Charles never experience going out with his mom and dad. He grew up with his personal maid named Angela, who is taking care of him for almost six years. Angela is a loving and caring maid. She is a hardworking person that made her bosses, trust her. She treated the child of owner as her own son.

Charles grew up longing for the love of his parents. At his young age, he started having doubts in mind. He loves his parents. But all of his love becomes an anger because of lack of care and love that he experienced in his age.

"Son, here's your Aunt Elizabeth. Come here and bless to your Aunt." said, his mother while she is fixing the flower on the table.

"Charles Andrew! I said come here. Your Aunt is here!" his mother shouted.

But Charles didn't make any move. Instead, he continue playing in his tablet. You can hear the loud music in it so, maybe it's the reason why he can't hear his mother. He continue touching his tablet.

"It's okay, Christine! Don't force him!"

"Yeah! Maybe his music was too loud that make him didn't hear what I'm saying."

"Are you still want to take care of him?" Aunt Elizabeth asked, while holding a flower that Christine is fixing since earlier.

"Huh?" Christine whispered with confusion.

"What are you talking about?" she added.

Aunt Elizabeth took a deep sigh before she explains.

"He's not even your son! How can you take taking good care of someone who's not even from your blood. It's so unfair from your relatives!" she said, while her face looks calm.

"Sssshhhh!" said, Christine while trying to cover the mouth of her sister.

"Shut up! He might hear you!" she added. Her eyes are glaring while looking at her sister.

Aunt Elizabeth chuckle, and then she rolled her eyes. She is staring at Charles Andrew's position. The child is still playing in his tablet.

"Why you're stopping me, huh? Are you afraid that he might know the truth? That he's adopted - he's not your biological son? Well! He deserves to know the truth!" said, Aunt Elizabeth. She look so serious this time.

Christine took a deep sigh while she's looking at her sister. She look towards Charles and look to Elizabeth again.

"He's my son! So please, Elizabeth! Keep your mouth shut! This is not the right time for him to know it!"

"You know what, Christine . . . I can't understand why you're afraid. Well, you know that he deserves to know the truth, right!"

Elizabeth shaked her head while making a noise in her tongue.

"Don't tell me, you feel affection and love in that boy?" she straightly asked.

"He's my son! No matter what you say, he's my son and I love him. So, I will take care of him as long as I can and no one will stop me." said, Christine.

Elizabeth walk towards Christine's back and make a sound in her tongue again.

"If I where you, I will not waste my time raising a child that is not even from my womb."

"Well, I'm not you! We're not the same. You had an ability to bear a child while me? You know hard for me to take care of a child that is not from my own but what should I do? I can't bear a child. I can't give Andrew the baby that we wanted and dreamed off."

Christine took a deep sigh before she continue speaking.

"Please be sensitive next time, Elizabeth! We are not in the same situation. If you can't accept him as a part of the family, then I have no choice. But please! Think about the possible result next time." she said.

After a few moments, Charles Andrew stood up and walk towards his mother.

"Mom, I will just come to my room. I feel sleepy." said, Charles.

"Ohh, Hi, Aunt Elizabeth! Have a good day!" he added, then he smiled.

Before he waved goodbye and walked away, he hold the hand of his Aunt Elizabeth and put it in his forehead. And then smiled.

"I should go, mom!" he said, then smile and walk upstairs and go to his room.

Christine and Elizabeth watched him until he's gone.

"See? He's a sweet boy. Just give him a chance to know him. Then you will realize that he deserves to be called as my son. In addition, I adopted him in a legal matter so, what should I feel to be afraid off? He's my legal son. Adopted but still my son!" said, Christine. Then she smile while fixing the flower again.

"Blah blah blah blah blah! Whatever! I need to go! I have important things to do rather than spending time here!"

Elizabeth waved goodbye to her sister. Christine just nod at her. After that, Christine finished what she's doing earlier before her sister ruined her day. After fixing the flower and putting it in a vase, she's finally done. She stares in it and she can't stop herself to feel amazed by the beauty of the flowers.

Christine took a deep sigh while remembering what her sister told her about her adopted son. She can't stop herself from daydreaming about it. She knows that from the very start until now, her sister doesn't want her adopted child that's why she treated him that way.

"Ma'am Christine, I will just go in the grocery then after it, I will cook your lunch!" said, the maid before she ruin her boss's daydream.

"Ughm, wait!" She whispered.

That caused the maid to stop and look at her boss again.

"Just cook anything from the fridge now. Then I will just give you the money later so, you can go to the grocery and buy our needs." said, Christine while looking straightly to the maid.

The maid nod at her and waved goodbye.

After an hour, the lunch is ready. The maid called her Ma'am Christine and her child Charles who is in his room. The maid started to put everything in need in the table.

"Ughm, Yaya! You can join us! Go get your plate and sit with us." said, Christine while inviting their maid to join them for lunch.

"But Ma'am, it's okay. I can wait until you're done." said, the maid.

"No, I insist. Please join us. Come on, don't be shy! Sit with us and join us!"

After a few moment of convincing, the maid finally allow herself to join their boss in lunch. The father is busy so that he can't go home to eat with his family. But Christine take her rest day to take care of her child even just a day. But it looks like the faith didn't agreed to her plans because as usual, Charles chooses to hold his tablet rather than talking to his mother and spend time with her.
