Black Swan's

The Reunion (Seventy Nine)

        This morning Eden again doing her activities like housewives in general. After a few days

yesterday he was bothered with the fussy Louise who had just been immunized, and Ciara who was sick after playing rain with her father in the fall like this. He has now returned to his routine to prepare Ciara for school and also to prepare some of Aciel's needs. Starting by rolling her hair up high, then seeing her little baby who was sleeping soundly in her baby box, she kissed Louise's cheeks softly, and the last rite was to rip her husband's hair so that the handsome man would wake up from his deep sleep.

            “Ed, it hurts.” grumbled Aciel with half-seated eyes. Eden giggled amusedly beside her husband, then she gave him a lightning kiss on her lips, before she actually left her comfortable room. Upon his arrival on the first floor, Eden immediately passed by his servants who were busy cleaning the living room filled with Ciara toys and Ciara crayon marks that littered the floor.

            “Good morning everyone, sorry because Ciara littered her floor.”

            “Good morning madam.” reply mr. Kim with a smile. Eden smiled broadly at Mr. Kim, and for a moment Eden stopped to observe Mr. Kim's wrinkled face, which further confirmed the age of Mr. Kim who was no longer young. But his passion to serve his family, especially Aciel, really moved Eden.

            “Mr Kim, is your family still in Italy?”

            “That's how, what's wrong lady?”

            “Emm. Only Christmas this year you can take an early leave of absence to go home. I want you to spend Christmas with your grandchildren and children at home.” said Eden softly. For the last few years Mr. Kim has never been home for Christmas. That Eden knew from Aciel who told him last night when they were about to go to sleep. Last night, Aciel told her that only Mr. Kim remained with her during Christmas at home, while her other servants took time off to celebrate Christmas with their families. According to Aciel one of the reasons Mr. Kim did not come home because Mr. Kim was too worried about the condition of Aciel which at that time was often unstable because it had been abandoned by Eden. Mr Kim also felt Christmas at his home was no longer special after his wife's death ten years ago.

            “I'm fine spending Christmas here as usual.”

            “Go home Mr. Kim, your grandson must have missed his grandfather terribly. This time Aciel won't be alone to spend Christmas, he has me and the kids. So you just calm down. Aciel safe with me.”

            “Alright madam, I will be home to spend Christmas this year at home. Thank you very much for the kindness of madam” said Mr. Kim haru. Before going to the kitchen, Eden had seen Mr. Kim's eyes look teary and almost shed tears, but Mr. Kim quickly went to the kitchen so Eden could not see the tears coming down her cheeks. It feels Eden also sad when he saw the condition of Mr. Kim who actually spent more time here until that old age. Mr. Kim's dedication was extraordinary, and Eden was determined to have Aciel prepare his private plane to take Mr. Kim back to Italy later.

            “Ed, where's my coffee?”  Aciel came from the direction of his room still clad in blue pajamas with white stripes. The man looked very tired with disheveled hair and eyes that were still half sleepy. Last night he had to accompany Louise who could not sleep because her son still wanted to play with his parents. But Eden steadfastly bestows Louise on Aciel who has just returned from the office. Finally inevitably Aciel had to hold Louise all night while holding the handsome baby so that he immediately fell asleep.

            “Why do you drink coffee right away? Coffee is not good for health. Drink milk or water first before drinking coffee?” eden's nagging is long. Aciel exhaled his coarse breath and preferred to take his own coffee rather than having to listen to Eden's extremely noisy nagging.

            “Say if you don't want to take it, because I can take it myself.” said Aciel riled. Eden who was previously preparing cereal for Ciara immediately stopped her activities and stared back at Aciel as she ruffled her waist.

            “I just reminded if the coffee is not good. Why are you scolding me like that? You want to get sick from consuming too much coffee, huh?” eden spray full of emotions. Aciel turned his head a glance towards Eden, and after that he again ignored it while sipping his black coffee a little. If only he had responded to Eden's scolding, then this fairly calm morning would have ended badly. He better shut up and give in to Eden. Yahh, give up on his beautiful wife.

            “I just need coffee to get rid of drowsiness. Later at nine I have a meeting with noisy Brazilians who almost ransacked my business yesterday. So do not let me get sleepy while negotiating with him.” explained Aciel kalem. Eden breathed his breath riled up and again preoccupied himself with Ciara's food that was almost ready. Though earlier he was so eager to do various things in the kitchen, including preparing bento as desired by Ciara yesterday after the girl saw the series cooking on youtube,  but her cooking mood suddenly disappeared after she had a slight quarrel with her husband. Hmm, really a moody and volatile woman.

            “Ace, is Louise awake?”

             “Seems like not yet. I don't know, when I came down she was still asleep in her baby box.” replied Aciel as she grabbed whatever was in front of her to eat. It seems that man is very hungry. Look, he ate Louise's baby biscuits that Eden put on the table greedily. Though Eden deliberately prepared the biscuits to be given to Louise when her little son woke up later. But, it was his father who found Louise's baby biscuits.

            “Ace, that food Louise.” scolds Eden while wiping the table after she just spilled the milk she was about to pour into the glass. Aciel shrugged his shoulders indifferently, while continuing his activities eating baby Louise's biscuits that felt so overwhelming to his starving stomach.

            “I'm hungry and just found this on the table. But you're really gonna give our baby these biscuits? Louise is only four months old, Ed.”

            “It's safe for babies like Louise because I'll mix it with milk.”

            "Then let me taste it a little. Besides why there is no food at this hour?”

            “A minute. You better take a shower and get ready to go to the office.” Eden said without switching to Aciel. He looked so difficult when he wanted to pour apple juice into a bottle of Ciara drinking. Then suddenly Aciel came and offered to help Eden.

            “I help, you don't have to do everything yourself, Ed.”

            “You didn't shower?” ask Eden wonder. Usually, Aciel always looks neat and fragrant at breakfast, but it seems like this time Aciel is really hungry.

            “I'm hungry. I should have followed Sian's invitation last night to eat with his division colleagues. But I chose to go home and in the end I had to hold Louise until the baby fell asleep. Though I plan to ask you to make a bowl of chicken curry for dinner.” bright Aciel at length. Eden seemed to feel a little guilty about her husband. She should have kept Louise to sleep last night, but she herself was very tired and in the end she just gave Louise to her husband.

            “I'm sorry. I was really tired last night. How about I cook you a bowl of chicken curry for lunch.”

Cup

            Aciel kissed Eden's cheeks with a pampered wife on his shoulder with a very clear guilty face.

            “No need. Later in the day I'll have to lead a meeting for the project in Florida. I'm really fine. After all, Louise is my son, so it's appropriate that I take part in taking care of her and observing her growth and development.” said Aciel with a soothing smile. Eden smiled wryly in response to her husband's remarks and rewarded Aciel with a short, gentle kiss.

            “Why a minute?” aciel's protest was not received when Eden immediately removed the link of their lips. Eden rolled her lazy eyeballs while bringing her lips back closer to kissing her husband. Sometimes Aciel is very spoiled and very greedy. He did not want to be only given a brief kiss by his wife, because the thin lips of Eden had indeed become opium for Aciel Lutherford. Now Aciel is trapping his wife inside her large body. Even Eden had repeatedly given the code to her husband so that he stopped kissing her, but Aciel seemed to care for himself and was reluctant to let go of his wife.

            “Ace, it's been too long.” protest Eden on the sidelines of their kiss. Lee Aciel twitched his shoulders indifferently and returned****** his wife's lips greedily.

            “What time is this?” aciel asked after he released his lips on the wife. Eden turned her head on the wall clock that was mounted on the kitchen table “Seven o'clock. What's up?”

            “Hmm, there's still two hours before the meeting starts. What if we..”

            “No! You think I don't know what you're gonna do to me. You better just eat at the dining table, and I'll hang Louise in the back garden. It seems we really should not kiss for too long.” said Eden fierce and fierce. After that he immediately left the kitchen with Aciel who continued to grumble bitterly behind him.

            “Indeed I was wrong to ask **** in the morning. Huh, you fierce woman.” grumbled Aciel while chewing on the baby biscuits in front of him annoyed.

-00-

            Eden walked slowly towards his room while looking from a distance, whether his little son had already woken up or not. Faintly Eden saw a small movement from inside the baby box, followed by a small whimper that showed that Louise had indeed woke up from a deep sleep. However, when he passed his king-size bed, Ciara was already there and was lazing on the bed owned by his parents.

            “Mom.” call Ciara slowly. Eden smiled gently at Ciara and pulled her little daughter's hand to wake up to go to school.

Oekk oekk

            “Ciara, Louise cries, mommy will lift your sister for a while.”

            “But, Ciara wants mommy.” whining spoiled Ciara. This is how Ciara has been doing lately to Eden because she feels her mother spends more time with Louise. Sometimes Ciara will act, deliberately whining for this so that Eden can not immediately take care of Louise.

            “Beauty, your sister is crying, you don't want daddy scolding you right? Mommy has prepared your cereal below and apple juice to take to school.” Eden tries to persuade Ciara not to hold her back because Louise is already crying loudly in her baby box.

            “Good. Why is Louise crying mom?” ciara asked curiously as she looked into Louise's baby box. There the little baby was crying so hard that his whole face turned red. Eden immediately lifted Louise from her baby box and she then opened her clothes a little to give Louise ASI.

            “Your sister is thirsty dear.” replied Eden patiently. Ciara's tiny hands moved slowly to touch the fine hairs on Louise's head that were flourishing. Seeing Ciara who seemed very fond of Louise, made Eden feel touched and moved. It turned out that Ciara had a very mature mindset. In fact, Aciel was still often spoiled and childish than Ciara.

            “Mom, where's Daddy?”

            “Daddy is eating below. You want to be with daddy?”

            Ciara nodded twice in response to Eden's question. The little girl then walked slowly towards the door of Eden's room while holding on to the door handle.

            “Daddy.” shouted Ciara from the end of the top staircase. Hearing Ciara's loud voice calling her name, Aciel immediately folded her morning paper carelessly and rushed to her daughter who was constantly screaming from the top of the stairs.

            “Ya, darling. Wait a minute, daddy is coming.”

            “Ace, you eat with Ciara, I'll take care of Louise first. Looks like he is still sleepy.” said Eden looks troubled. Without waiting for long, Aciel immediately grabbed Ciara into his carrier, then he twirled Ciara like an airplane.

            “Daddy, Ciara was afraid.” cried Ciara terrified, but with a crisp laugh as well. Aciel chuckled with Ciara's behavior while raising Ciara's body up and down.

            “Ciara need not fear, because Daddy will always keep Ciara.”

            “Mommy and Louise too?”

            “Of course. Daddy will always take care of you all. Now let's get down. Ciara want milk?”

            “Ciara want milk. Ciara haus.” said Ciara cute with her children's accent. Aciel then carried Ciara down, but she stopped as Eden came down and did not return to the room to breastfeed Louise.

            “Why down?”

            “There are still some things I should prepare to take Ciara to school. I forgot if today there is a meal together after cleaning class because tomorrow Ciara is already Christmas holiday.”

            “You want to cook for Ciara?”

            “Hmm. maybe, he wanted to make bento yesterday. But I just had to put it together because Larson and the others were already cooking in the kitchen.”

            “Be careful, Ed.” recalls Aciel on Eden who was going down the stairs while holding Louise who was breastfeeding her. He then embraced Eden's shoulders slowly while leading her down the stairs one by one.

            “Thank you.” said Eden sincerely when they got to the first floor. Eden then does her morning routine to sun Louise in the back garden. It was a lot he learned first he became a single parent when Ciara was born. Through Ciara she learned more and more to be a good mother and also a good mother

idealised. Now he no longer feel lazy to sunbathe Louise because it turns out the morning sunlight is very good for the development of babies aged Louise. Even Eden now has its own way to disappear its saturation while drying the baby, he will invite Louise to chat or sing Louise a song to eliminate her saturation when drying Louise and also to build an inner bond with her baby.

            “Well, it's time for Louise to sunbathe.” said Eden gently while kissing Louise's red cheeks. The tiny baby seemed to squirm in his mother's arms while closing his eyes tightly because he felt the glare with the scorching sunlight that hit his facial skin.

            “Hmm, do you feel glare? Geez, you are so adorable.” whispered Eden was anxious when she saw Louise doing stretching movements in her arms.

            “Mommy.” shouted Ciara loudly from inside the house.

            “Mommy here dear.” cried Eden from the direction of the back garden. Soon Aciel was in the back garden holding Ciara over his head. The little girl looked carefree as her father occasionally teased her as if Aciel was about to knock Ciara off her head.

            “Aww. Ciara, do not pull the hair daddy.” shouted Aciel loudly because suddenly his daughter pulled her hair hard.

            “Daddy naughty. Daddy wants to drop Ciara.” Ciara chirped indifferently as if he did not care if his father kept screaming in pain because of his actions.

            “Ciara, sorry to daddy. Look, daddy feels pain nak.” said Eden firmly to Ciara. Ciara then bowed her head deeply while drowning her face in Aciel's messy brown hair. Apparently Eden was deliberately berating Ciara so that her daughter grows up to be a good woman and also always respect her parents. Although Eden sometimes felt annoyed at Aciel and behaved fiercely at her husband because of too pampering Ciara, but she did not want her daughter to disrespect her father. She wanted Ciara to respect Aciel even though she was often disrespectful to her husband.

            “Excuse Ciara, dad.” said Ciara slowly and looked sorry. Aciel smiled softly towards Eden and stroked the top of Ciara's head gently.

            “Daddy is okay. Now Ciara is getting ready to go to school with mommy huh. You're leaving with daddy in a minute. Ed, you can leave Louise for a while with her babysitter.” Aciel codes Eden to help Ciara get ready for school as she also has to go to the office in a moment.

            “Daddy will meet with uncle Sian and uncle handsome?”

            “Pun good-looking?” ask Aciel not to understand. Eden giggled amusedly as she pinched Ciara's cheek anxiously. Her daughter was infected with a flirtatious virus. In fact, now Ciara can judge a man based on his face, really very similar to Eden.

            “You taught him?” aciel asked with a probing look. Eden smiled widely without sin while nodding her head a few times.

            “I never taught Ciara about a man. I just showed you a picture of Tranz carrying him yesterday, then Ciara said that uncle is very handsome, and he called Tranz a handsome uncle.”

            “Yes God, you stained my son's innocence.”

            “I never taught him strange things. Ciara herself had that call for Tranz.”

            “Huh, it must be just your wits. You must have always invited Ciara to gossip and watch infotainment, until now Ciara looks so mature before her time.”

            “No, I can't do it. Why are you accusing me of that?” eden's protest did not accept.

            “Because Ciara instantly saw the infotainment chanel as she turned on the television.”

            “I don't.”

           “Mommy, daddy, when will Ciara meet with handsome uncle?” cut Ciara riled when he actually saw his parents betengkar not clear in front of him. And it seems Louise was also quite distracted by the noisy cries of her mother's shameless father.

            “Darling, uncle Tranz is not here. Uncle Tranz is in Australia. So Ciara can't meet Tranz's uncle now. But if Ciara wants to meet with uncle Sian, soon uncle Sian will come to pick up his work papers at daddy.” workspace

            “Yahh.. Ciara did not want to meet with uncle Sian. Ciara wants to meet a handsome uncle.” said Ciara sounded riled up. His father was indeed very insensitive to the wishes of his daughter.

            “Ciara take it easy. Next week Ciara will definitely meet with uncle Tranz.” said Eden calmed down with a cheerful smile on his face. It looks like it is the right time for Eden to tell Aciel. A few days ago, Eden got a call from Tranz. Whether there was any wind what the man suddenly remembered to him and invited him to come to Australia. The man offers a tantalizing Christmas holiday for Eden and her family. Moreover, Eden also had not met Tranz for a long time, he wanted to come to meet Tranz's invitation in order to meet with Tranz's one-year-old son named Austin and also his wife, Zara.

            “Ace, I want to go to Australia to visit Tranz. There will be a small reunion there because Tiffany and Summer will be there too. You remember them, right? My friends who used to accompany me at club” added Eden again enthusiastic. But the joy on his face did not last long, the cloudy face of Aciel that was clearly plastered in front of him made Eden feel anxious for a moment. His two eyes seemed to not dare to look at Aciel's eyes directly. Eden just busy himself by kissing the cheek Louise and play the tiny hand Louise alternately.

            “Australian? Small reunion you said?”

            “Yes. A few days ago Summer called me and invited me to come to the reunion. I heard Summer is getting married next week. So we can at once attend Summer's wedding there.”

            “But, you've just recovered, and Louise's age is still very small to travel with. Are you aware of that?” aciel asked in a tone of horror voice. Instantly, Eden's courage immediately decreased and was replaced with an aura of fear that was so great from within him. Though a few minutes ago he seemed very confident to pass the news on to Aciel, but now his confidence suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a fright due to the intimidating aura released by Aciel.

            “Iya I know. But I really wanted to come, because it's been a long time since I've met my friends. Come on Ace, I thought Louise would be fine on the plane too.” persuade Eden with a clear face and teary eyes. But it seemed that Aciel did not want to take it at all

care about Eden's feelings at the moment. He thought Eden was very selfish if he wanted to force his will to come to a reunion event in Australia. Just imagine, Louise's age is still very small to travel by plane. The noise of the plane and the effects of the plane after boarding, such as jet-lag is not good for babies the age of Louise.

            “The noise of the plane and the atmosphere inside the plane is very bad for Louise. Do you have the heart to let Louise get sick for your pleasure?” aciel asked firmly in front of Eden. Eden shook his head weakly while wiping down the tears that were pouring down his cheeks. He felt sick because Aciel was not

let him come to the show. But on the other hand, she is also very familiar with the purpose of her husband who forbade her to come to the reunion. Since it was impossible for Eden to come alone to Australi without Ciara and Louise, they both still needed her most.

            “Alright, we'll talk about this later. Now I have to go to the office immediately to do a meeting.”

            After saying that, Aciel immediately lowered Ciara from the top of her head and went inside the house to get ready. Ciara seemed confused to see the face of her mother who continued to bow her head while playing Louise's tiny fingers.

            “Mommy, daddy angry?” ciara asked not understanding. Eden stroked the top of Ciara's head slowly, then guided Ciara to enter the house.

            “Let's go in. It's time for you and Louise to take a shower.”

             "Madam".." call Louise's babysitter slowly, intending to stop Eden so she takes care of Louise. But Eden immediately shook her head, giving a smile to show if she was okay, and after that she immediately invited her two children to come inside. In the end, Eden prefers to divert her sadness with a lot of interaction with her two children. Because for now, only his two children can treat the sadness and disappointment of Eden in Aciel.
