Love Story: Gabrielle and Eleanor

About A Karma

Inside the boutique, Elea has just completed one order design from a conglomerate princess. He then stretched his hand muscles, smiling as he stared at his masterpiece.

"Beautiful,"

Elea's mind suddenly floated on a dream she had never told anyone, including Gabrielle. That night when the sky was rumbling with flashes of lightning and the wind, Elea's spirit seemed to be carried away by a black figure with a large height. The figure took Elea to a very large field where there were a lot of people lined up neatly there.

Flashbacks

"What is this place?" elea asked confusedly. "And who are those people. Why are they wearing such strange clothes, what are they doing down there?"

"This is a battlefield. Let's look in that direction, " replied the black figure while pointing towards someone sitting on a horse.

Elea's gaze immediately followed in the direction pointed by the black figure. There, a person with a cruel face was staring straight ahead while brandishing his pointed and shiny sword. The aura of the person was so strong, that it was able to make Elea's legs tremble because of it.

"He was General Liang Zhu, the chief warlord of the Ming Dynasty."

"Ming Dynasty?"

Elea frowned. He was confused, nor did he understand why he was brought to an ancient place like this.

"Yes. Are you wondering why I brought you here?"

"really. I do not understand and do not find any reason why I could be brought here by you. Do you want to tell me that I'm a part of them?"

"Not you, but one of your three children."

"What do you mean?"

"One of your three sons will bear a terrible karma that General Liang Zhu did not intentionally commit. As a warlord, he had already made hundreds or even thousands of lives soar on the tip of his sword that it was so sharp. Actually he was not wrong because it happened on the basis of defending the country. But it will not be called just a God who does not give punishment for what His servant has done, regardless of what he has done. The death caused by General Liang Zhu has caused many women and children to lose their family members. And it is from their tears that bad karma comes!"

"But why should my son? What does my children have to do with General Liang Zhu? WHAT?!" shouted Elea hysterically. Again she had to see the bad luck about one of her three children.

"Because your children are in his lineage" replied the black figure. "One of your children has the exact same time and date of birth as General Liang Zhu. The full moon that shines so beautifully, the whisper of the wind is so sweet and also the joy felt by the residents in the Ming Dynasty, the, welcoming the birth of a hero who brought much blessing in their time. But baby, different things are felt when you are going to give birth to your children. They are born from pain and tears, anger and fear in the hearts of many. Am I right?"

Elea's thoughts drifted on the day she gave birth to Bern, Karl, and Flowrence. He who had an accident, his heart that had stopped beating, Flowrence who was almost late to rescue, the anger of Gabrielle, also with great fear felt by the whole family. How could all of this be exactly the same as this black figure had said? Why should his children too? What the hell is this really?

"General Liang Zhu was born with such great fortune. As your son, he was born following a terrible karma. You have to be patient because all this cannot be denied. Destiny is still a destiny that will continue to run according to its plot, unless God himself wills to change it,"

"Sir, can you tell me which one of Bern, Karl and Flowrence would hold onto that karma? I-i ...

"General Liang is a very clever figure with thousands of stratagems and gimmicks. However, he is a loving figure towards his family and those closest to him. Pray that your three children will not be involved in a feud that could cause their lives to drift. The sincerity and patience you have might be able to make him a little compassionate by not hurting his own brother!"

"What you need to remember, General Liang Zhu is a clever figure who is very good at playing his tricks. Careful. In your present life, he can be considered an enemy in a blanket. Only in this way can you find out who among them was born with karma from the past sins of their ancestors!"

Flashback Now

"Belp ... Elea!"

Elea immediately regained her senses when someone patted her cheek while shouting her name. He who was swept away in his daydream until he did not realize that someone else had entered his room.

"Elea, what's wrong with you?" levita asked, looking worriedly at Elea. He then wiped the sweat that poured profusely on the forehead of this iron candidate.

"Sister, when did you come? It's like a ghost that just appears without a sound" said Elea trying to normalize her heartbeat.

Just a second ago Levita was made worried, now he must be willing to swallow a bitter pill when Elea called it as a wandering spirit. Know this he just blaked his head. Sucks.

"Elea, can you not say something that can make my anger rise to the crown?" levita asked while holding back her annoyance.

"I didn't say anything strange to you, brother. Why are you angry?" answer Elea. Always liked whenever Elea could make this actor's anger peak. A kind of entertainment that was so fun when Elea was overwhelmed with feelings of sadness as she was feeling now.

"Arwah. What do you think that is, huh? The whistling sound of birds, huh?"

"Hehehe, sorry. Don't be angry, it's just a joke,"

"Cih. Excuse me!"

Elea chuckles. He then saw the watch in his hand. Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for a break.

"Sir Levi, what business did you come to see me here? Want to order a wedding dress or something?"

"Why did I order a wedding dress for you. Like a lack of work," replied Levita cetus. A second later his expression immediately turned bright when he remembered his purpose of coming to this boutique. "Elea, we haven't spent a long time together. How about after lunch we go for a walk. My friend said there was a painting exhibit at one of my friends' galleries. You wanna come no? Who knows, you might be interested in buying one of those paintings over there. The creator is a world-famous painter. Cool, right?"

"Say you want me to buy it for you, brother. Don't be ashamed, I've been very familiar with your reason," ledek Elea who is not surprised anymore with the attitude of this one actor. His heart has not healed until now.

"Hehehe, just know that I'm in need of a new painting to put on display in Oliver's room" Levita said with a shy smile.

"Owh, for a potential ghost huh? Why not tell me from earlier, brother. Yes, let's go now. Lunch is out!"

Levita's face was immediately sour to see Elea who was so enthusiastic after knowing that the painting would be intended for her son. Sometimes ... take a good note yes, this is just sometimes. Sometimes Levita feels jealous to see Oliver who is so prioritized by Gabrielle and Elea. Levita feels that his position as an actor has been moved by his own son who from the embryo already bears the title as a prospective daughter-in-law Gabrielle and Elea. It's sad, isn't it?
