Just An Illusion

Thick face makeup

From the direction of his room Inara who was being used because it still felt unfamiliar with this house, then decided to look for the night wind for a while. In the tie of the kimono outer clothes that cover the lingerie tightly. Fortunately, the outer clothes kimono lingerie was so long that it could cover up to Inara's eyes.

I don't know what made him obey Kikan's words by wearing the lingerie Kikan gave tonight. It's just that the look on the face of the spirit of Kikan, really haunting Inara's mind as well as being a heavy burden for Inara.

"At least I can't break Kikan's smile, can I?" inara said as she carried her footsteps down one by one of the stairs.

It's just that when Inara's footsteps reached the last step, the stairs, a sound from the direction of the pool area then made Inara so curious that she decided to bring her footsteps there and steal the talk of the two.

"I ask to fulfill your duty as a husband to Inara, I beg you dear." said Kikan in a half whisper but managed to make Alvaro's bead round immediately upon hearing the words.

"How can you ask that of me Ki?" alvaro said with a look of disbelief when he heard Kikan's request that sounded so unreasonable to him.

"What's wrong with that Al? You and Inara are married, so having a husband and wife isn't a natural thing?" said Kikan who did not understand Alvaro's anger which suddenly exploded.

"I'm tired huh Ki, you want me to marry I've done, you want me to have a second wife to carry on the offspring I've done. It's just that I'm asking you not to force me into this matter because I really can't!" alvaro said as he stared dislikefully at Alvaro.

Hearing Alvaro's slightly strange words, of course, immediately looked annoyed at Alvaro.

"How can you continue the descent if you don't want to touch it? Come Al we are no longer a child if you want a child then you have to do conception, do you just not understand? Don't provoke my emotions Al!" said Kikan with a flushed face holding back his anger.

"We can do it through a baby tube or even through the process of implanting ovarian cells into the womb Inara. Isn't that the same thing?" alvaro tries to provide a solution.

"You don't joke Al!" kikan said with a high tone.

Seeing Kikan's reddened face at the moment made Alvaro even more annoyed by it. When discussing the problems of the child Kikan and himself always never get along and in the end lead to painful quarrels and endless cold war. Alvaro stepped his foot closer to where Kikan was and stared into Kikan's bead with an intense gaze.

"If you really want me to do it, I will, just never regret the decision you have made today!" alvaro said with a sharp look before finally leaving from there.

Meanwhile Inara who had heard all the talk earlier could only be silent while holding back her sobs. Inara who saw Alvaro was about to pass away from there, then took a thousand footsteps and climbed the stairs quickly, bringing her footsteps towards the room that had been prepared for her.

Bruck...

A door that was closed was loud enough, then stopped Alvaro's footsteps who wanted to climb the stairs. He stared at the door of Inara's room that had just been closed with a questioning gaze.

"Did he just come out of his room?" alvaro wondered to himself when he heard the sound of the closed door coming from Inara's room.

Inara Room

Inara rubbed her tears violently then stared blankly towards the front. The memory of how Kikan and Alvaro spoke really stuck in his head.

"I don't know if in kindness they are tucked away with a great desire and make me like a pet. If indeed they only wanted a descendant, would they not say it enough without the need to be sweet as if they were wingless angels descending among the millions of mankind. In fact, the kindness of both of them was just an illusion that blinded me, I completely forgot that I didn't know their personalities at all" Inara said with a sobbing cry.

Inara rubbed her tears violently then bit her lower lip involuntarily. A reality that was difficult for him to accept really could not be lost in his mind, making Inara no longer know how to behave to the two.

Inara, who was silent and pensive for a few seconds, finally chose to rise slowly and began to bring her footsteps towards where a standing mirror was in her room. He stared at himself at the glass located on the standing mirror with an empty look.

"If they want a child then I will give a child to them, in return because Alvaro helped my honor in the village. Once their wishes are fulfilled I will make sure never to see the faces of the two again!" inara said with a sharp gaze staring at the mirror displayed neatly in front of her.

Midnight

After Alvaro pondered about everything that befell him for almost two ages, in the end Alvaro decided to follow Kikan's wishes and do his duty as a husband to Inara which is about the inner living. By taking slow footsteps Alvaro was seen stepping his feet towards Inara's room with a doubtful feeling enveloping him at that moment.

Inara Room

When Alvaro's footsteps reached the door of Inara's room, Alvaro then began knocking on Inara's door several times.

Chequek...

The sound of the door being opened slightly, then made Alvaro frown with a confused gaze staring at Inara who did not open the door of his room wide but left a little so that Alvaro could open it himself.

"Ra did something happen to you? I entered ya.." said Alvaro then while bringing his footsteps into Inara's room.

With a confused feeling and also asking Alvaro began to bring himself into Inara's room and closed the door of Inara's room. It's just that Alvaro's eyes stalled on the figure of Inara who is currently sitting on the edge of the bed with a strange look and also makeup that is so thick.

"What's really going on?" alvaro asked then in a confused tone.
