Dark Autumn's

05. Hilea Rune John's

Ever heard of the number seven as a help? Yes, all that is just a myth circulating in the community and in fact it is believed because they always connect something with a thing that is not even necessarily the truth.

If we learn more about why the earth is round instead of square, why sugar is sweet instead of salty, and why coffee is bitter instead of sour. Believe me, it is all a secret of nature. The ruler has made plans on each of those who dwell in the universe of His creation.

Even a name has a meaning that will bring the owner to be as expected, a kind of do'a.

What does his name have to do with a story from the past. About a curse that shackled a group and he had to make up for it, Lea had no idea about it. Moreover, the person is now sitting relaxed and swinging his legs in the air, on his bed. So nauseating.

Not much to say, Lea moved towards the wardrobe colored in line with the curtains and the door of her room. Pick up a peach-colored outfit that he would wear to meet their guests. He is determined by his decision.

Staring pushy sarcasm at Val who was caught off guard was looking at him.

Huh, shit!! Why did the young man look even more handsome when wearing such a suit??

Leah will not stop cursing herself if later until a word of praise escapes her beer. Although it could not be denied that young man was indeed very charming even though his face and skin were pale like a corpse.

"Why see me like that? I'm handsome, aren't I? Are you starting to feel for me? "

"Eewww.." he said with a contrived expression and continued, "Don't expect it! To me you are just a pest that needs to be wiped out so as not to spread more and more throughout the surface of the earth! "

Val chuckled loudly at the parable the girl gave him. Of the many people he met and knew, Leah was very different. He was able to make her laugh just by hearing the sound of honey that felt soft past his auditory senses.

"You are sure of what you said! Hey, you need to know! A lot of girls are after me! "

"That's because they're stupid! And also don't know if you're a ghost that wanders day and night! "

Val was not hurt, he even showed his gentle side by saying. "Then accept me and turn myself into reality! You're gonna admire me even more"

"Can't you just shut up?! You are so noisy!! "

Hurriedly Lea stepped into the bathroom before hearing the denial speech of the young man who thought he was a ghost who came from another dimension and looked like a human being.

As soon as he set foot in the bathroom doorway, Lea again floated a provoking look of dread.

"Review that you'll peek at me! Stay there or just get out! I feel safer if you're not here!! "

"I'll go in there with my magical powers! Prepare surprised! " the god with his eyes rolling.

"Joshuah...!! If you do that, don't expect your assets to be okay!"

Val took a look at Lea's hazel, trying to figure out the meaning of the word the girl had just thrown in the bathroom. Scratching the nape of his neck with a blushing face even though he did not know Lea's words.

🍁🍁🍁

Two people were sitting on a couch, one was staring at a question mark, and another was busy in the kitchen making a warm drink, in the cold of the night.

"You must know what we've come here for, Mr John? "

A low-tempoiled voice broke the silence. The name owner smiled blandly as he threw his gaze towards where the wife was arranging some snacks from inside the nightstand, taking some fruits from inside the refrigerator, arranging them with excitement and a carefree smile, and arrange a few glasses and make a warm drink in a silver teapot.

"You know we live like this and wait for your daughter's long presence! "

"You think I'll just hand it over? Don't think shallow mister Hudson! I'm not going to be a stupid father giving up my daughter's life to make your dreams come true! "

"That means you've broken what your guests promised! "

"Everything's bullshit!! " he muttered with a sharp grin full of sarcasticity.

I don't know why time seems to slow down, so long. To the extent that the man named John wanted to grab the wall clock and destroy it.

"You named your daughter Rune so we wouldn't look for her, would you?! You're wrong!! "

John rotated his eyeballs sharply, piercing deep into each pair of beads that stared at him. The words were born sincerely from his heart. He was truly sorry that he had entered into a circle that brought him closer to a figure he had never acknowledged existed, who in fact they were in front of him at this time.

In contrast to John, Hudson smiled with satisfaction as the man before him began to show tears of anxiety, he could see and read clearly if the man was uncomfortable.

"They're after your daughter too! You should thank us for finding you first! Not them! " this time the pale woman opened her beer to give an explanation. Trying to convince with his calm face.

But the cold war was stopped when the knocking of shoes down the stairs interrupted.

John widened his iris when he found the Princess coming down with a smile that adorned his beautiful face. Though a few minutes ago he wanted to see the young man descend alone, without his daughter walking in front of him as she is today.

Lea sat right next to him, then followed by the mother who walked back and forth carrying treats for guests who he thought were special.

"Lea, what are you doing--"

"Papa take it easy! I'm doing fine! " he replied still with a soft smile. Make the interlocutor imprinted with a dewy iris.

Lea grabbed the father's snow-white fingers, rubbing the back of the palm full of affection with a loving look.

"Papa doesn't have to be like this! I'm fine!"

But everything went as well as the princess requested. His mother who laughed happily because she knew nothing, the father who tried to hide all restless behind the mask that he began to pin behind a smile. And also Lea who was melting the atmosphere by greeting the two strangers in front of her.

🍁🍁🍁

"A pact?? "

"Gee!! I'd like to accept your ridiculous proposal if you'd give me bail! "

Val smiles cynically, trying to guess what is in the brain of the girl in front of him that is completely unread by him.

"Say!! "

"I don't know what will happen after I decide on this ridiculous idea! But please don't hurt my parents! "

Val suddenly felt guilty and hesitated about everything he had planned. A plan that would free a shackle with one's life. It doesn't make sense, but that's it.

"How many people are in your castle?! I have a phobia!! " he said trying to give an explanation to the figure who is now staring at meu.

"I'm afraid of crowds, I'm also afraid of strangers that make me uncomfortable! " he continued while applying liptint on the lips moist and rannumnya.

"There are some family people, and some household assistants! "

"Then we have to live apart from them! I can't live with many people like that! "

Val was surprised, maybe even that was impossible. They cannot live apart. Val's down.

"Why? Don't want?! " he answered while stopping the liptint.

Val again brought his gaze to stare at the back of the girl who looked haggard. Shackled as she recalled the ridiculous vortex of life that had shackled her to the point of wanting to feel her life being uprooted.

"All right! Give me some time! "

Lea pinned a bitter smile on her beautiful face. Is he negotiating at the moment? Really not done thinking.

"I knew you were going to say that!"

Lea stood up, bringing her torsonya closer to the figure of Val who was still sitting on her bed. Placing his palm to gently rub the young man's cheek, felt as if the world had stopped the moment their skin touched. But Lea managed to hide the shock behind her beautiful pupils.

"I hope you don't regret it if I've put my heart on you! That's your wish, isn't it?! And also I hope you don't despair when I leave you! Because everything will be a secret in my mind, about everything!! "[]
