Karma 2 (Najwa Humaira)

Chapter 30: Ela the Granddaughter of Sewah

The togetherness of the Abil family is like the intake of warmth for everyone in the house. Although the storm was lurking, no one felt that they would fall alone. All because of the trust that is in each other's hearts. Like the foundation of a house that strengthens each other, it is not shaken.

But the high confidence in other realms in the prince's heart turned history into reality without touch. Prince Lucifer performs his meditations in front of the gate of light in hopes of conquering the forces of nature which he himself is still trying to study.

His actions immediately made Gael abdicate from the throne, then visited the place where the son did the act. Anger can no longer be held back, if not the prevention of a mother for the life of the son. He may have to impose severe punishment.

The demon royal palace. All the representatives of the people who received a special message from the king gathered at the palace because their leader wanted to take his son seriously. Justice must be done. If the example of the rebellion came from the palace family, then it is not impossible for the people to do the same.

All this time the gate of light had been closed, not even intending to reopen it. Wh why? As a leader, it is more about the future that should be used as the common good. When he could selfishly hold back the love for a human being. Then why did the prince deliberately want to open the gate of light?

"Your Majesty, all the representatives have come to await your arrival." reported an aide from outside the king's private room.

Where Gael was staring at the reflection of his body in the mirror with a dim light. Suddenly there was a hand wrapped around her stomach, who else if not the woman who became the queen of the demon kingdom. The wife always tried to calm the burning emotions.

"My king, forgive Prince Lucifer for what he did this time. I know, his actions cannot be tolerated because they harm all beings. But as parents, shouldn't we be wiser? Whatever a king's decision is for the sake of all his people.

"However, as a father? Can hard heart melt the heart of a child? Prince Lucifer only wants lost souls to return to their natural origins. That's it and doesn't mean anything else. Understand between acts of rebellion or rescue from the actions of our son" he concluded the session explaining the viewpoint he believed in.

Gael releases the interlocking hands locking his stomach. Then lead the woman to move in front of him. Then he grabbed the chin of the wife so that the two looked at each other. The unblinking gazes of eyes that traced each other to the depths of emotions.

"Tell me, don't you trust your own husband?" gael asked, looking intently at the wife, the woman shook her head. "Prince Lucifer is also my son, but he is the prince of the demon kingdom. Did you forget that?"

"Sir, that's not what ...," His wife tried to give him an alibi, but one blink of an eye locked the woman's lips to keep her still.

"The gate of light can indeed be a way home for you to return to human nature. I know everything that happens in the palace. A mother pours out emotions as a form of complaining, then a son tries to realize the mother's last dream. Isn't this what really happened?

"I released you from the dungeon so that my debt to Sewah could be paid. I told you from the beginning of the day you asked a demon lord to marry you that our relationship started from a deal. Have you forgotten who you have been all this time?

If only Ela would tell him the truth, she could have given the woman a chance to see her family in the human world. But in a way that hurt his confidence, the wife managed to establish the first fortress between him and Prince Lucifer. Ela is no longer part of the human realm because the soul is no longer contained in the body.

It's just that the memories of the past are still clearly imprinted so often interfere with how to act with the desire of the heart eager to return to the human world. While on the other hand, prince Lucifer did not understand the difference of each element that can be used as a backup or just a stepping stone.

Ela silently lowered her gaze. He realized he was wrong and clearly could not justify what he considered family longing. True to what Gael said, the ego still controls the rest of the energy of its human body. At a glance the memories come back to greet washing the taste that is increasingly drowning in darkness.

"Back me back to the human world!" Excited a girl with an unflinching appearance after being freed from a dungeon room inhabited by hundreds of sentencing creatures.

The body may be human, but the soul? The woman was not aware when she first entered the prison then directly her soul was taken prisoner. Where it means the soul he is not alive and also does not die in the supernatural realm. But if it returns to the human realm, then all that remains is a lifeless body.

"Elah! You are dead to the family and if you keep forcing yourself to return to the human realm. Not a single word can be said because the only thing that comes back is your body. Do you still want to make that decision? If so, I'll do it tonight too." Gael explains that nothing is covered, making Ela fall boneless.

How could it be like that? If it was true that the young man in front of him had said, then what was there to insist on returning to the human world? He could not even feel the faith in his heart. Only the memories are still fresh without the slightest flaw. In the midst of such a bitter reality, suddenly an idea flashed.

"Married me in exchange for the pain your people inflicted to the loss of my human soul. Are you ready?" Ela looked at Gael so sharply without a single smile, while the one who was stared at gasped inexhaustibly at his request.

The marriage that was supposed to be done by one nature, suddenly became a shock. As a king, he could have and do whatever he wanted without having to ask permission. But as a lover, his heart still belongs to the lover who now he can no longer meet.

One request welcomes an explanation for a future that cannot be changed. That day, a king made a prisoner as a companion to life and a new life began with an agreement that became the basic foundation of their marriage relationship. Instantly, Ela's body went back to limp, recalling the flash of her past.

"Ela, aren't we fighting together to learn to understand each other? If I want to make you a palace prisoner, you know that it can be done at any time with one command from me. Among us is Lucifer. Lest the selfish decisions and desires of a human being result in destruction to two realms.

"Understand how great the sacrifice of the ancients was until the gate of light could be closed. Two worlds separate and behold! Life is not just about karma to be paid for with the blood of slaughter. Take care of everything that has happened, my wife." Gael clasped Ela's body until it sank in the chest of his field.

Tightness in the chest is not because he failed to become a king, but has neglected to keep the feelings of the wife. As a husband and father, of course, his obligations are greater. Is it possible to give less affection to both family members? I don't know.
