who is confused why mute can live under the lake, that means glass building under the lake that is watertight, well.not he can breathe with gills like a mermaid, please maap 😅

Mute looked at an adult woman but her height was even lower than Mute's. He's someone who took Mute down to a strange place, all around them is water like the bottom of the sea.
Or a lake, rather.
"You curse your destiny, Young Mother?" Sanya, the woman, pushed him to sit on a bed and began to install medical devices.
"However you curse, it's already takdidmu so better just live it even though it feels dregs."
"Tante—"
"May. I'm not an aunt or aunt."
"Many." Mute looked at him fixedly. "You're Narendra too?"
"Not." Sanya smile. "I'm just a foreigner who gets unlucky and counts as Narendra. You'll be just like me so don't cry too much because I hate whiny people. Understood?"
Mute nodded, already promising himself that he would not cry.
Let's go through this and hope one day he really finds happiness on his own.

Even if you hate the situation, time will eventually go on.
Mute now enters the age of twenty-four, erasing all traces of her past and transforming into a smart adult woman.
Erekleus' words were correct. Not going to school does not mean being stupid. In fact, thanks to learning from Sanya, Mute is now undergoing his final education as a Narendra Family Doctor.
Not in college but behind Sanya's back, listening to her babble and being told to read a lot of books every day. And in doing so, Mute watched her daughter grow up.
"No way!"
His daughter who even imitated Sanya's behavior.
"Just don't want to! Ana won't!"
Her name is Anastasia, her favorite color is red, and her hobby is whining for chocolate.
Oh, and piss Mute off, maybe.
"Mother will love chocolate, Ana," said Mute, trying to be patient, "but after eating. Eat your fruit first chocolate. Understand, Smart Boy?"
"Here you go for chocolate!" Anastasia glared and then blurred away.
Mute stared at his son's departure while massaging his head. Either because he's Narendra or because he's taken care of by Sanya too, but really his behavior is beyond reason. But later he came back too, asking to eat fruit because he was hungry.
Rather than a headache, Mute let her go, refocusing on the journal she wrote. If Sanya comes back later and this is not finished, Mute will definitely be scolded and Anastasia who saw Mute scolded will come to scold her while saying 'Mother is indeed catapulted'.
Yeah, don't expect Mute to have a sweet and loving child let alone know herself. The boy is a bad boy even though Mute is half-dead dear to him.
While Mute is busy struggling in her study, Anastasia, who has not been given any chocolate, quietly rises to the surface.
Anastasia is forbidden to ascend for whatever reason, but Anastasia knows a secret path to the surface. He often sees Sanya getting in there, his name is elevator.
Anastasia ran silently away from the lake, going to sneak into the main castle building. There was someone Anastasia wanted to meet because she often gave him unconditional chocolates.
"Grandfather" whispered Anastasia when she saw her target was surrounded by cats. "Grandfather, it's Ana."
Anastasia did not know who she was but she said her name was Grandpa. He's very handsome and gentle, has a lot of cats and a lot of chocolates. His eyes were blind until he always closed them.
"Little Girl." The old man heard Anastasia's footsteps. "Dries. Grandpa's waiting."
Anastasia smiled happily. Approaching Grandpa and scattering into his embrace.
"You ran away from your mother again?" whispered Grandpa in his ear. "Nobody saw you here, right?"
"Um, there's nothing." Anastasia nodded confidently. "Ana do good so give me chocolate, Grandpa."
"certain." Grandpa reached into his pocket, taking out a cute box of pictures that Anastasia knew contained chocolate.
The boy's eyes immediately sparkled. Do not wear wait he filled his mouth with chocolate, no matter the talk of Mother who said she had to eat fruit first new chocolate.
"You likey?"
"Bring always, Little Girl." Grandpa stroked his long mane. Pulling Anastasia and kissing her forehead.
The boy did not know who Grandpa was, but being around him made Anastasia comfortable. Somehow it filled the empty space that Anastasia did not know why was in her heart.
"Ana, there's something Grandpa wants to ask you."
Anastasia's mouth was full of chocolate so she just looked up, listened.
"Don't go up for a few days. Grandpa's gonna send a bunch of chocolates so stay with your mother first. Don't look for Grandpa."
Anastasia blinked sadly. "Why?"
This happens often. Every few months, Grandpa would say don't ride, don't meet him because he's not around. But Anastasia never understood why she had to stop coming.
Where's he going?
"It's only temporary, son. Just temporarily. As usual."
Anastasia never liked it. He likes to go upstairs and likes to be with Grandpa even if he just sits down.
"You promised, right?"
"Good." Anastasia answered listlessly.
*
"You sneaking up again?"
Anastasia immediately suffocated to hear Sanya's voice. The four-year-old boy turned around, staring at the face of Sanya who was staring at him like he was a troubled mischievous cat.
"Hehe." Anastasia immediately nodded. "Don't tell Mommy well, Auntie?"
"I told you I'm not Auntie" Sanya grumbled past. "Kids are hard to tell."
"But Mother said Aunt Sanya is Aunt Sanya."
"Whisper! Get back to your room!"
Anastasia formed a respectful attitude, then flushed into her room. The smart, naughty boy went into his bathroom first, cleaned his teeth so that the evidence of eating chocolate was wiped out.
Only then did Anastasia get into bed, sleeping until Mute came looking for her.
"Ana, get up and eat your food first."
Anastasia who was full of chocolate finally wanted to eat fruit mouthful Mute.
"Mother."
"Hm?"
"Tomorrow Mother is busy working too?"
"Yes, maybe." Mute looked at his son's face. "What's wrong? You want company to play?"
Anastasia shook her head. "Just ask," the boy replied.
Though secretly want to make sure when he can run to the top. Anyway, tomorrow he wants to go up even if Grandpa says no.
While Mute who saw his son's ameh behavior was just a ringing. Sanya is a genius to the point that she was crazy, so Mute often worried that her genius-looking son was following her crazy.
"Ana, the only one who can be imitated from Aunt Sanya is just—" Mute said, repeating the same sentence every time so Anastasia understood.
So often repeated, Anastasia so memorize the continuation. Cannot imitate Sanya unless ....
"Smartial."
"Moreover that can't." Mute. "Can't."
Mute may forget or not know that which little child understands the word should not. No matter how many words it may not be, Anastasia was already used to seeing Sanya until it naturally mimicked her.
Mimicked 'madness'nya.
Anastasia nodded then tomorrow she was ready to sneak. The little girl makes sure Mute is busy in the study room and Sanya is busy researching, before she climbs to the surface.
