Early Bride [TAMAT]

#22 Epilogue

" Yeah!!! Naya wake!! You promised me!!" 😭

Arthur's cry broke when he saw his wife's body arrive2 stiff and icy.

" kids.. Don't go yet, son. You're young, your path is long. Let me take your place, son. Let me go!!" 😭

Naya's mother couldn't stare at her blood-soaked daughter.

Naya's baby cries, seeing her unsmiling mother welcome her. Everyone was grieving, realizing Naya was gone.

" sorry, I can't save Miss Naya. It's my fault." said the midwife.

" it's my fault!! I let her keep this baby!! She must have been in a lot of pain without me knowing, it's my fault!!" 😭 weeping Arthur.

" Nay.. Please, wake up!! How's my?? You want to leave me alone?? Then take me away with you, Naya!!" 😭

" Arthur, wake up!! Your wife is gone!!" said the queen mother tried to calm her son who was seriously injured.

Slowly Arthur grabbed the baby Naya who had been cleaned, carrying her with amateurs. And laid the baby on the side of his wife who had been stiffened.

" Nay, look at our baby.. It's a baby girl.. It's kind of like you. Come awake!! Don't you want to see it??"

" you promised me.."

" you'll live.."

" if I win the war.."

" and kill the man you want.."

" i kept my promise and returned safely."

" watching our baby being born."

" but you.. Why not keep your promise!!"

" get up, Nay. Please.."

Arthur wept as he hugged his daughter and wife. I hope a miracle will come for him. The little baby was still crying, as if his mother had abandoned him.

But the miracle actually happened, Naya who had previously been stiffened and her ice-cold body suddenly took another breath. It made Arthur shocked to the point of disbelief.

" A.. Arthur.."

" Yes!! Nayya!! You realize?? You okay?? Doctor!! Doctor!!" arthur shouted to see Naya regaining consciousness.

" it's okay, honey.. You're doing fine.. I'm here with you, calm down." Arthur said as he kissed and stroked his wife's head.

" A.. Arthurian.. L'm.. See heaven."

" that's, already.. It'sit's okay.. You're with me now, you're not going anywhere anymore. You're safe with me." Arthur said.

Naya simply fell silent and closed her head. But still keep his breath to remain stable on the sidelines midwife who is cleaning his blood.

Arthur couldn't see his wife's blood pooling on the bed to the floor. He saw the midwives sewing his wife's. He had a chance to rebel, but that was the procedure. He could only resign, seeing his wife grimacing in pain. Arthur promised, on this second chance. He will keep his wife to death.

A few days later..

" do you have a name for our son??"

" mmm.. It's." Arthur replied to his wife.

I am happy, God gave me a second life. I was still given the chance to meet my family, spend the rest of my life with my husband and children. Our little family.. I still can't believe that I've survived, until now.

" who are you going to name our son??"

" Mathilda. Yes.. Her full name is Mathilda Arya."

" Mathilda??" 😕

Wait for.. I think I remember something. 🙁

" mother.."

Ehh?? Is there someone here?? 😕

" mother, I'm here." said a daughter approaching me.

" you?? Who??"

" i'm Mathilda.. Mommy come home."

" i'm sorry, but I'm not your mother. Are you lost?? Where's mommy? Let me find it for you." I said.

" you're my mom, come on mom.. Go home!!" the boy kept pulling and dragging me.

" son, I'm not your mother. When did I give birth to you??"

" mom!! Let's go!!" 😡

" it turns out that's right my son." I said slowly accompanied by laughter.

" what do you mean?" arthur asked, why am I laughing.

" Mathilda, I've met our son in heaven."

" what?? 😳 Wait, I remember.. When you first realized, you said.. You see heaven?"

" yes.. I did 2 see it. And there's our son there."

" really?? What's she like?"

" he.. Real pretty.. ☺ She'll be a very pretty girl."

" ohh, huh?? I'm sure she'll be as pretty as you."

" but he's a bit like you too." 😅

" what?? That right?? Which part looks like me??" 😃

" her angry part, her sharp gaze, and her cold demeanor.." 😄

" really?? Why does my daughter imitate her father's bad manners.." 😪

" it's not bad, it just looks adorable. I'm just happy, with a similar nature to his father. It'll make her a tough, strong, tough girl."

" thank you for praising me." 😊

" i commend Mathilda!!" 😒

" i'm his father.." 😃

" and I'm his mother." 😑

" well.." 😒

" ohh, yeah. Why did you choose Mathilda Arya's name??"

" That Mathilda is like an angel, this baby our little angel. Even before his death, grandma told us. If our son is a girl, then he will be a fortune to us. Not a single day of birth, he has brought good luck by returning you to this world."

" yes, you're right. This kid dragged me along tenaciously. He forced me to go home and keep calling me mom. I kept telling him I wasn't his mother. But it turns out he's right2 my son." 😅

" yes.. I finally decided to give her the name Mathilda."

" and Arya??"

" that's our name. ARYA, ARthur and naYA."

" don't overvalue my genius." 😎

" that's it. 😒 Ohh, yes Arthur. What about your wound??" 😟

" i'm fine. His wound's already on the bandage. It'll improve in a few days."

" how did you get hurt this bad??" 😢

" of course because of the fierce fight between the two of us."

" k's.. You're.. And your uncle?"

" yes." replied Arthur with a slight lethargy.

" are you sorry you killed your uncle?? I'm sorry." 😢

" no, Naya. Like Grandma's message, uncle's death is already in your hands."

" then why do you always look so moody. Tell me what's up??"

" uncle said something before he was right2 nothing."

" a.. Wha what?? 😨 He said what.."

" Thank you, Arthur.. You saved me from them.. Don't let your guard down, they won't give up.. By killing me, I know.. You are more deserving of leading this country. Get prepared.. And win the next war.. Say my apologies to everyone.. I'm sorry I betrayed you.."

" so.." 😓 said Arthur.

" who's uncle meant by them."

" of course King Hogwarts."

" god.. 😟 Uncle must have suffered all this time having to follow their orders."

" just because he loved his wife so much, he was even willing to die." 😞.

" why.. 😫 Why did I ask you to kill uncle back then!! It's my fault!!" 😢

" no, Nay.."

" if I had known earlier, if only uncle would have spoken to us.." 😢

" that's already.. It's been.. If I were an uncle, I would probably do the same."

" what?? You're gonna sacrifice yourself for me?? Betraying your own family for me?? No!! If that happens, let me go." 😫

" we have to stay together, whatever the circumstances. You have to remember this one thing. Death on the battlefield is not painful at all. But if you leave, I will die slowly. And it must be more painful."

I was silent at his words, and smiled at him. Arthur returned to return my smile and kissed Mathilda, our little angel.

" today, in front of the whole people of the Land of Dawn. Me, Cecilion.. The King of the Land of Dawn declares that Arthur, my son, has officially become the King of the Land of Dawn. From this moment, this moment. Your king is the honorable King Arthur."

" Live King Arthur!!"

" Live King Arthur!!"

" Live King Arthur!!"

I cried while holding our little Mathilda. Seeing my beloved husband, the 15-year-old boy was put in a makhota and a robe. Hand over to him a sword of power and all its responsibilities.

Weeping should again be broken in the eyes of everyone when I was crowned as the first queen. Arthur smiled proudly watching his wife so happy that she shed tears.

" in front of you all, I swear!! I won't have more than one wife, and my one-on-one wife is Naya. Please take my oath."

His own words managed to echo in Arthur's ears. He stared at his wife and his little angel.

" i promise, I will keep my oath until I die." she whispered to Naya.

Even the pensive Naya was a little confused by what oath Arthur meant.

" what do you swear, Arthur??" 🙁

" uhh.. That's.. I swear I'll only marry the girl I like. Well, that's it." 😰

" oh.." 😒

" Why did Arthur swear to everyone that he only wanted one wife?? And it's got to be you can't do anything else!!" grub Silvanna.

Ohh, yeah.. I just remembered. ☺ Turns out he lied back then to me. That he would only marry the woman he loved.

" i'm sure I'm the only one you love in this world, I'm not worried that someone will take my place" I said. 😌

" there's someone else.."

" someone else?? Who!!" 😡

" a girl??"

" yes.." ☺

" what is he.. Pretty??"

" so pretty.." 😃

" who's that woman!!" 😡

" Mathilda Aryan." 😄

" that's our daughter.." 😑

" ha.. Can't I love my own daughter??" 😄

Naya just pouted in response to her husband's words.

-

Days change weeks, months and years. The Land of Dawn advances with Arthur as their leader. War after war was fought to expand power and expel the invaders.

Not to forget, Arthur kissed his beloved wife and Mathilda before he advanced into battle. Because with just that, he could win. Grandma's right.. Mathilda is the key to Arthur's success. Because of that, no matter how difficult they are. Naya won't leave Arthur alone.

" with Hogwarts?"

" yes, they haven't given up. I will avenge my uncle's death and all his suffering. Pray for me." said Arthur, kissing Naya's forehead and holding her daughter for a moment.

" protect me, baby." Arthur kissed his daughter.

" go.. Finish them all.."

" I love you guys."

" you have to remember this one thing. Death on the battlefield is not painful at all. But if you leave, I will die slowly. And it must be more painful."

The End's.
