Marrying a King's Son

episode 55 Explanation

"Where's Arka?" ask Fey to open the conversation.

Refald looked around and called one of his troops. "I'll find out, Honey."

"You call me, King?" said one of Refald's dedemit troops who suddenly appeared in front of Fey and her husband.

"Have you put it in there yet, Gen?" ask Refald.

"According to your commandment the King" answered the creature called mas Gen.

"Sir Po hasn't come back yet?"

"He was busy looking for souvenirs according to your command, King."

"Send him back sooner. Just use a vehicle that he can drive so that it's fast to arrive."

"Okay, king. Why doesn't Mr Po just use his powers?"

"I suppressed his strength too strongly the moment I pushed him earlier. It took a day for Mr. Po to get his powers back."

"Do I need to help him, King?"

"No, let it go. That's my revenge on him." Refald grinned and his army understood. "Take me to that place now. Poor mbak Kun. That whining Mr. Po must feel what I and Kun must feel."

"Alright, come with me, King."

Refald and Fey followed one of Refald's troops to one of the caves that was nowhere to be seen now. Fey could only follow wherever her husband went without daring to comment. Because, right now he was like a dazed person who understood nothing at all. Everything was so mysterious and he could not solve it just by guessing, only Refald knew what was behind it.

"Indeed, what did Mr. Po do that you took revenge on him?" fey asked as the two had started to enter on the lips of the cave.

"Your beloved creature sucks Honey. As I desperately held back my great longing for you, she and Di were even feeling good about making out. The two of them never separated for a second. How many times have I separated them, they can still get back together. Now, Mr. Po must feel what it's like to be separated from the one we love so much."

Again Fey was made gawk by Refald, just because of that problem, Refald could prank Po by separating him from Divani.

"You have the heart of Refald, don't you think about how Rhea feels? Our daughter-in-law misses her father and mother very much."

"Just calm down Honey, I'm not that cruel even if I wanted to. Mr. Po will be here soon when Rhea is conscious." Refald looked very calm.

"As for you, I'm just worried there won't be another problem."

A few hours with Refald, there were many unique things and events happening. But this is Refald, all can happen even though every event experienced is always beyond human reason even nonsensical things can also be experienced if together with Refald.

"What is this, Refald? What happened to Haida's grandmother?" fey was surprised. He entered and approached the body of the old woman lying on the bed where the bed was made of stone.

Refald stepped forward and stood by his wife's side. "Listen to me carefully, Honey. What I said was a bit scary and also sad. I hope you understand. Everything I do is also for our shared well-being."

"I know, I'll listen to everything you say."

Refald placed both hands directly over Haida's grandmother's body "3 years ago" Refald said, concentrating on both hands. I asked Grandma Haida to look after and protect Rhea as long as I wasn't around. Unfortunately, the age of the grandmother is not up to 3 years. 2 months more, he had to face his own death. You know what that means, don't you, Honey? If until Haida's grandmother dies before I return, then the evil demons that are after Rhea will use that opportunity to prevent me from returning to this mortal world by eliminating Rhea."

"Then what happened? How did Haida's grandmother get to live until now, I mean until she helped do all the Rhea ritual preparations?"

"I discussed this matter with Arka, for she was the only astral being who would not disappear. Arka volunteered, entering Haida's grandmother's body as her soul left her body. Arka enters Haida's empty grandmother and replaces her as Haida's grandmother. It happened just as Rhea was drowning at the bottom of the lake."

"What?" Fey's surprised. "What made Rhea drown in that lake was an evil demon?" ask Fey again.

"Eh." Refald nodded and began to turn to his wife. "They know that Rhea's guard is gone and during the change of body is their chance to eliminate our daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, their efforts fail because Rara manages to save her. They are upset and finally make Rara wretched by pinning one of Rara's legs until injured. His life would be almost beyond help if the villagers did not arrive on time. The reason why Haida's grandmother didn't pay much attention to Rara, was because she was Arka. You know for yourself, Arka and Mbak Kun loved Rhea as much as their own daughter."

Fey was surprised to hear the truth from Refald. His body immediately went limp until it staggered backwards. He misjudged Rara. The poor girl, became the victim of an evil demon who tried to harm her daughter-in-law.

"I've told Rara everything, which is why she's turning so good again now. Rara already knew that her real grandmother had died 3 years ago." said Refald and it made Fey even more surprised.

"What's? Y-you .. said what?" fey's teary eyes stared intently at her husband. "What do you mean you told him? When did you talk to him? You just came back and spent some time with me? How can you talk to Rara while she's still in the hospital in a coma? Has it been good for a few days too? And that was before you came. How can ...." Fey could not continue his words.

"Honey, actually .. I'm back, when our son-in-law managed to perfect his training. Rhea's soul can unite with nature so that it opens a way for me to get out of the cage that locked me for 3 years. The night that Rhea was perfecting her training, I saw everything that happened. Rara nearly commits suicide and Rhea manages to save her. The two hugged each other and forgave each other. That is what makes Rhea can perform the perfect ritual even though the time has not yet arrived. No one knew I was out that night. As soon as Rey takes Rhea away, I disguise myself as you and come to see Rara to tell her everything including the ritual that Rhea is going to perform."

Fey clenched his mouth with both hands. Tears were pouring down his cheeks. He can't say anything more. This truth was far more shocking than when Refald took him for a swim in the ocean and met the world's greatest whale demon.

Fey's body sank, and Refald caught his wife's body before touching the ground. "You all right, Honey?" refald asked while observing his wife's reaction.

Fey was crying, he was speechless. Because he was confused what to say. His feelings are mixed. He doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. Fey couldn't help but let his tears out.

Refald clutched his wife's body and tried to calm her down. "Sorry Honey. I should've come to see you earlier, but I couldn't have done it because I had a reason."
