The Sleeping Princess
Askelan waited for Lintani's answer while continuing to look at her expectantly. The girl looked down at her husband after successfully wiping away the tears with the tissue Mo gave her.
“Did you make Pearl's tomb?” Lintani asked back. His gaze was straight but meaningless, his eyes light as if losing the passion of life. Her pale and puffy face from crying too much, further infuriated Askelan herself.
“Ya!” Askelan replied excitedly while standing up.
“Thank you.” After saying that, Lintani left. However, just a step away, Askelan shouted at him.
“Are you going to leave me again?”
Lintani flirted, she did not reply but also did not leave. He still calmed the rumble in his heart that was unwilling to compromise.
Too deep in love, too deep in disappointment that he feels, when he knows that, loved ones have lied. He felt deceived for thinking that the person who hurt him was gone, but in fact, that person was the man who had made him fall in love.
Askelan approached and again said, “Do I have to die, so that you are satisfied if I experience something like our son?”
Akhs! Of course not, because the child who will be born later must have a father, not like Pearl. However, his heart still hurt, he himself did not know what he had to do to, obliterating the hatred entrenched for so many years at the bottom of the heart.
“Why should you?” Lintani spoke with her heart, as her lips were unable to move. While her cheeks started getting wet.
“Why should that person be you, Elan? Wh why? Why not someone else so I can kill him?” he said it was still in his heart.
Askelan took out a piece of paper and thrust the object containing the data of some of those people, to Lintani.
“I have destroyed all these people one by one, those who used to be abusive to you and Mom. Now it's my turn, whatever you do to me!”
The atmosphere became silent for a few seconds, Lintani read the contents of the paper, nodding a sign of understanding, with some possibilities occurring. The girl did hate all the fellow inmates in her cell, but she was helpless. And now, Askelan has helped him repay all their deeds.
He turned to Askelan with an expressionless look on his face and said, “I never asked you to do it, but thank you!”
Lintani took one step forward, then stopped again.
After Lintani said like that, she just left, with a broken feeling. He knew staying away from Askelan would hurt, but being nearby was much more painful.
On the way home, Lintani invites Mo to a baby supply store, she buys some boys clothes. Although some clothes and necessities have been provided by Askelan at Villa Loyola also in their home, Lintani still wants to buy it, because shopping like that is a pleasure for every woman.
She smiled when she was done and saw the groceries in the trunk of the car, no matter what the nominal amount she had spent, just to buy her baby gear. All will be paid with Askelan's debit card. He thought the man would benefit greatly from working with Shaw's company to cultivate his estate.
“Nona, don't you want to buy something for yourself?” Mo asked because of all the items, there are only baby supplies, “If Miss wants, we can go there!”
There was a large mall that Mo showed Lintani, they could spend until the afternoon. However, the girl's eyes were precisely on the beauty salon not far from there, so she invited Mo to spend time to pamper himself in that place.
They arrived home when it was late at night and Lintani fell asleep in the back seat, becoming very sleepy after getting body treatment.
Mo was surprised when he saw Askelan was waiting on the porch. He knew what Lintani had said while in the tomb, so he became very worried.
“What are you doing here, Mister?” said.
“Nothing, I just want to lift it to the room. He must be sleeping, right?” Askelan half whispered.
“Yes! How could you know?”
“That's the habit! She the princess sleeps!”
“Oh! So so." Mo responded with a smile. Askelan is good at taking advantage of situations.
Jordan had already opened the passenger car door, while Mo and the driver were carrying all their groceries. Askelan raised Lintani's body very carefully towards their room.
