The Given 113
"We're going to Grandma Thea's forest?" ask Given.
"Yes, Grandpa Jared built a new mansion in the forest where there is also a lake there. And there is also not too lush like other forests. So there are still some mansions built by the conglomerates with the help of Grandpa. We'll have fun there" replied Thor.
"How long have we been there, Dad? I can't take too long off. The company I work for has just been acquired by a company from Korea. So I'm very much needed there" said Given.
"That means that the president of the company will be replaced by a Korean?" ask Thor.
"That's possible. I've never met him. Next week he will attend a shareholder meeting and discuss the merger" Given replied.
"You happy, honey?" Ask Lesca who has since observed Given's face which is like harboring a problem.
"Yes, Mom. Mommy had been asking that question ever since," said Given smiling.
"Mommy knows you very well, honey. And mommy knows what you're feeling right now" said Lesca.
Then Given hugged Lesca.
"I miss mommy" said Given.
Lesca smiled and rubbed Given's hair whose head was on his lap.
"Dad, I'll sleep with mommy. It doesn't matter, does it?" Ask Given.
"Wouldn't you sleep with me?" Mighty Protests.
"We slept three. How's it?" Lesca.
"That would be exciting, Mom," said the almost 11-year-old girl.
"Dad, I want my own room" said Loki from the rear seat.
"You sleep in the barn" said Mighty.
Loki snatched Mighty's head from behind and made Mighty scream.
"You started it" said Loki and stuck out his tongue.
"Take a look at you later" replied Mighty.
Unlike Clark and Kal-El who always get along, Mighty and Loki actually often quarrel and disagree since childhood.

Three hours away, they finally arrived at the forest mansion.
"Huaaaahh ... It's really beautiful" said Given with his face because he had not been on vacation for a long time.
"Yes, we only occupied it because this mansion only became a month ago. Not even the Kingsford have been here yet" Thor replied.
"They're busy. It would be nice if one of the Kingsford family came here too" Lesca said.
"Let's go in," take Thor and embrace Lesca's shoulder.
Mighty and Loki had already dashed into the mansion.
Given saw from a distance there was a large mansion also across the lake.
"Our neighbors are pretty far away too, Dad," Given said.
Thor looked across the lake.
"We can get there by crossing the lake and giving him a welcome cake" replied Thor random.
Lesca gave a small laugh and they entered the classic-style mansion.
Given did not enter but headed towards the lake pier which was about 100 meters away from the main mansion.
"Dad, I'm going to the lake first" cried Given.
"Be careful, honey. You're not gonna kill yourself because of Steven, are you?" Thor shouted near the stairs.
"DAD!! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!" the Given protest shouted and continued walking towards the lake pier.
Given walked slowly while enjoying the still clean air. Although it was summer, but the air was still cold and the breeze seemed to make the sound of leaves rubbing against the tall tree.
