ATHENS (TAMATE)

chapter 35's

Athena left the place she was visiting, she was walking around thinking about something, the past. This supposed period of time never happened, a time when his uncle Roby should never know the 'true'.

His feet kept going in an indeterminate direction, until he arrived at a towering gate, a very majestic gate, a very beautiful gate and a very closed gate. As he walked closer to the gate, he remembered his sad past. More precisely this gate is an eyewitness to a tragic incident that happened to him, this gate has not changed at all as it used to be, ivory white but has a luxurious ornament in gold.

Until one day the gate in front of him opened, a young woman stood in front of him "who are you sorry? why stand here? and also where are the guards why aren't they here?" said the woman in front of him who wears a very neat black and white shirt, like a household uniform.

"Can I see Aunt Zahra?" ask Athena.

The woman in front of him frowned looking at Athena from top to bottom, seeing a young girl still wearing a school uniform "are you ready?"

"Say Nana came. "

"Ouuhh... Okay, come with me!"

Athena followed the woman in, and she closed the gate first "Come on!" they walked down a very wide courtyard on each side of the right-hand side there was a small garden that decorated the path. If we walk straight from the main gate earlier we will get a very large street and in the middle there is a very large and beautiful fountain.

But, it seemed like they were walking towards the back of this mansion that only had a path, a path, finally they arrived at a very large building behind this house many people there wearing the same clothes as the woman in front of him, while the man wearing black clothes, black clothes, without white accents like women's clothes.

"You wait here, I'll call aunt Zahra for a moment, "that woman left in front of Athena, too, now Athena lives alone while looking around the backyard of this house which is no less spacious, there is a very large swimming pool, then a relaxing place near the pool. And it looks like there's more over there, but Athena doesn't care about it.

Before long aunt Zahra came "Athena, what's up baby? why are you here so suddenly not telling auntie first?"

Athena turned to Zahra's aunt and smiled "auntie, "Atena hugged Zahra's aunt with Zahra's aunt suddenly shocked by it "Athena what's the matter dear?" aunt Zahra said in a smooth tone while stroking Athena's hair.

Athena let go of her embrace and smiled back "it's nothing, it's just that I miss aunty."

"You're! aunty thought something happened, auntie was worried because suddenly you were hugging aunt."

"Auntie's worried about me ?"

"Very. Very worried about you, aunty was afraid of something happening to you," immediately Athena hugged Aunt Zahra so tightly that her tears were unstoppable.

"Why are you crying, baby ?" aunt Zahra asked full of gentleness.

Athena shook her head in Zahra's aunt's arms "then why ? what's up?" ask aunt Zahra again.

"I just miss aunty, " she said in her tears.

"What's? you miss me? "

He nodded his head at the sign of 'yes'. Yes Athena missed a very warm embrace like this, a hug that calmed her troubled heart.

"If you miss your aunt, it's okay to hug your aunt until satisfied, until your longing can be treated with aunt's embrace" said aunt Zahra.

Then not far from there was a woman wearing fancy clothes staring at aunt Zahra.

"That's aunt Zahra, madam, she's the head of the kitchen of this house, "a woman answered beside her.

"No. I mean the one who was hugging Zahra. "

"Ouuhh. "

"Zahra had no children, her children and her husband died in an accident, and she never remarried."

The woman next to this was silent and did not answer the words of her master "why do you shut up Suzan?"

"Sorry madam, I don't know who the woman that Aunt Zahra hugged was, "she replied by bowing her head in fear that the madam in front of her would be angry because of her reply.

"You should know, since you are my personal servant, you should know whoever is in this house new or old though, because you must know me and my family are not random people. You have to remember that again.Suzan!"

The woman he called Suzan lowered her head again "do I need to find out now, madam, about that woman?"

"No need, I don't want to know. Let it go, "said the madam still staring at aunt Zahra who still hugged Athena, there was a dislike in her heart somehow because of seeing aunt Zahra hugging the woman.

Something stuck in his heart again, he missed someone, someone who made himself unable to get rid of his biggest regret. The regret he had done and he never forgot.

The woman also left there followed by her servant named Suzan.
