Alaina was in the kitchen because she was making drinks for her husband who was coming home soon. He heard his son's scream but he was silent. He knew Norman would be furious but he didn't care because he was more concerned with his mere princess.
Alaina even looked relaxed as Norman called out to her. Two glasses of ready-made drinks were placed on the table, the queen was sitting on a chair, enjoying the drinks she made while waiting for her son to come. Just let his son talk, he'll listen because he knows what Norman's looking for.
It's not without reason that Alaina told Abraham why Vanila wasn't pregnant. The man came and wanted to meet with Vanila after knowing that even though he did not care Abraham wanted to know from where he definitely came after he heard the news and what if the news not to his ears? Dai guaranteed one hundred percent Abraham would not come to look for Vanilla let alone given his enmity with Norman.
Rather than making her daughter hurt, she would rather say something like that. After all Vanila had said, she only wanted calmness and lived her life in peace. This time he listened to her daughter's request and gave her freedom.
"Mom, don't pretend not to hear my call!" said Norman.
"Why are you looking for me? Was the cold water lacking?" asked his mother while glancing at him for a moment.
"No need to get stale, Mom. Tell me where is Vanila? Mommy didn't help him escape, did she?" norman asked suspiciously.
"If it is, then why?"
"Mom, why did you let him go? He must be punished so that he does not repeat the same mistake!" shouted Norman.
"No need to scream, honey. Sitting with Mommy, we're having a conversation with a cold head" said his mother.
"This is not the time to enjoy tea!" said Norman cynically.
"Norman, there's no need to talk to Mommy like that. Let's sit here, let's talk with a cold head, "a chair is pulled, his mother looks at the son with a smile.
Norman approached his mother and sat by her side. A glass of drink was put by his mother. He'll explain until Norman understands why he let Vanila get away from them.
"Why did Mommy let Vanila go?" ask Norman.
"If he doesn't go, then what do you want to do? Do you want to hit your sister or do you want to kick her in the stomach because the baby in her womb is the son of your old enemy?" ask her mother anyway.
"It's not like that, at least we have to teach her a lesson so she doesn't make the same mistake again!"
"the way? Do you want to put it in the palace and not let it go anywhere like you did to her?"
"It's not like that, Mom. I don't think Daddy's idea of throwing him into exile is a bad idea" Norman said.
"Because it was your father's crazy idea that made me decide to help your sister escape. Why are you so hearty? He's your brother, Norman. Even if he made a mistake, he did not deserve to be thrown into exile. You have to remember, no human is perfect and you, too, have made mistakes!"
"I purposely let your sister go because I can't have her living in seclusion even though she doesn't mind. He's a member of our family, Norman. She's your sister and my only daughter, do you have the heart to see her living in seclusion where everyone there has a strange illness? What if he caught the disease? Pregnant women are very vulnerable so I don't want that to happen with her. Do you want your sister to die there? How do you feel as a sister? Do not let this destroy you let alone you are a potential future driver. All the people will know, lest they consider you cruel so that there is no trust in you!"
Norman looked at his mother, while the queen smiled softly. He knew his son was angry and did not like his sister to leave but from the beginning they were wrong.
"We have to learn from this, Norman. We must learn to be wise and take wisdom from what has happened. Your sister is wrong but the most wrong is us. I already know all the problems from Vanilla. He did it because he was sick of being restrained by you. He also did it because he didn't want to get married."
"What's? Did Vanila tell Mommy how she met that baj*ngan?" norman was impatient.
"Of course, everything that happened was your sister's fault. I've heard that he has kidnapped and also beat the young man to memory loss and he wants to sleep with him so he can get pregnant so he doesn't get married and so he can get the freedom he wanted" his mother explained.
"What?" Norman was shocked to hear the madness his sister had committed.
"Vanila doesn't know your problem with that young man, Norman. He didn't know Abraham but he just fell in love when he saw him and then he did the desperate thing and for this matter, you can't blame your sister completely. Why don't we self-introspect why he can escape from the palace? If he gets the freedom and the life he wants then he will never run away and do the thing of a decade!" said mother.
Norman made no sound, thinking of his mother's words. He was tough on Vanila but he didn't expect Vanila to do such a desperate thing but why did the man have to be Abraham? How did they meet in Australia? A difficult event to accept with common sense. There are so many men on earth, why Abraham?
"I let him go so he could enjoy his life. He'll come back to us when the time comes. She's still my daughter, she's still your sister but give her the freedom to enjoy her life."
"I just don't want him to end up like Emely, Mom," Norman said.
"I know what you're afraid of, I know what you're worried about but we've got our lives wrong and about your past, I suggest you find out the truth. Everything that happened wasn't necessarily the young man's fault, was it? You are a crown prince, nothing is impossible for you. I'm not asking you to be friends with him anymore but I don't want you guys to be enemies for so long let alone your niece-to-be is his son."
"All right, but where'd Vanila go?" ask Norman to know.
"Mommy's hometown, she'll get her life there and she'll always give us news. He also said he would open a bar there and ask us not to worry about him. Vanila also said she didn't need any accountability from the man she had slept with because she was the one who wanted to so you couldn't blame the young man. When she gives birth later, she will give us news so we can visit her" her mother replied.
"Well, if that's what he wants, I'll talk about it to Daddy and about it, let no one know and where he is, not a single outsider can know" Norman said.
"Mommy knows, Vanila did ask Mommy not to say this to anyone. He also apologized to you for embarrassing and upsetting you."
Norman lowered his head and looked sad, why did he miss his stupid sister who liked to do anything at will?
Alaina rubs her son's arm again, knowing Norman loves Vanila but the wrong way. After this he was certain, Norman would not impose his will again on his sister.
Norman did not ask again, if that was what his sister wanted then he would not prevent it anymore. True what his mother said, from the beginning he was wrong because it was too restrictive of Vanila's life. Hopefully this time, Vanila gets the life she wants and does nothing wrong again.
