My Cold Little Wife

IKYD EPISODE 398

"Aldric thank you." Gerry lowered his head to Aldric. Aldric immediately felt awkward, slowly moving his right hand to the right and left. 

"No. No Sir. That's what I should have done. You don't have to worry" said Aldric.

"How can I not be shy, Aldric? You almost lost your life protecting me. Thank goodness you survived if not regret would remain lodged in my heart" Gerry said.

"Came Aldric. Don't feel sad, it's appropriate that we say thank you. Even a thank you is not enough. What if you were just our sister? You want to, don't you?"added Mira, looking forward to Aldric. 

Aldric was silent, confused as to what to answer. Glanced at Li and Elina whose faces expressed approval. Gerry looked at him with hope.

He was an orphan from a small age. Big in the Anfa group with great difficulty. Work hard so that his presence is recognized and he is looked upon. The only person closest to him is the Emir. The Emir only considers him a subordinate. 

"You refused our request, Aldric? You don't want to be our sister?" Mira showed her sad face. Aldric is confused.

"I …."

"There's no reason to deny that, Aldric. Just accept it." Karina enters along with Arion and the children, as well as Amri, Maria, and Enji.

"Queen?"

"alright. I'm willing." Gerry and Mira's smile expands. 

"Good!"

"Uncle Aldric, you're okay, right?" Bastian, Bara, and Bahtiar showed worried faces.

"I'm fine, Young Master."

"I told you what, this Uncle Aldric is stubborn. That little clash had an effect on him. Just look after the operation, his condition quickly recovered. His memory is also not disturbed" said Bara.

Small impact? Aldric smiled faintly hearing it.

"It happened because of Papa's quick actions. If not, I'm sure Uncle Aldric hasn't woken up by now" Blue said.

"Ah." Aldric remembered Ali's words.

"Mr Arion, thank you very much for your help. If it wasn't blood from you, what Young Master Blue said would have happened." Aldric looked down and thanked me. 

"Was appropriate. Don't hesitate" replied Arion.

"Aldric, my husband's blood has entered my body, which means you are my husband's brother." Karina's words shocked the entire room, except Arion.

"A-what do you mean, Queen?" Aldric was misheard.

"Are you deaf?"

"But I don't deserve it. Being the younger brother of Mr. Arion indirectly also becomes your younger brother. This low and rude me where possible …."

"Who is the low and rough Aldric?" Arion shows a face he doesn't like.

"All humans are equal. Is it not in our belief that it is clearly written? Should I send you to school, Aldric?" Karina stared at the angry Aldric.

"No, it's not Queen …."

"If it wasn't so then I you would have been my husband's sister. Don't you think, Ar?"

"true." Arion smiles. Aldric would not nod. 

"All right."

"So I've had how many kids?" Mary pointed to herself. 

"Countable because Mama has been considered a mother by many people" said Karina.

"Aigos. It turns out that being a mother isn't always about giving birth to a child." Maria gave a big smile. 

"Being a family isn't always about blood. Destiny is the real unifier" said Enji, embracing Karina who instantly makes Arion's possessive mode active.

Arion grabbed Karina by the waist and carried her in his arms. Enji snorted, did not want to lose and now embraced the two men from behind. 

Karina chuckles while Arion's face is flat annoyed with Enji. 

"Thank you everyone. You treated me so well that I joined the Blue Sword. I don't think there are still others who consider others as their families especially in a developed and free country like this" said Aldric.

"Aldric, a free and developed country does not necessarily lose its true identity. It is not a country that determines the nature of its inhabitants but its own inhabitants. Humans are diverse in nature. Especially here, the Blue Swords are all family, no matter where they come from or what they look like!"karina.

"I understand." Aldric wiped his tears. 

"Well. So what else are we talking about? Ah I heard you guys are engaged." Li looked at Aldric and Sasha. Both nod.

"Well, when are you getting married? Later in the afternoon, tomorrow, or when?" The two people were stunned by Enji's question. 

When marriage?

The two look at each other. The application just received has been relieved, about marriage has not crossed when. But isn't it late afternoon or tomorrow too soon? 

"Err isn't that fast either dong, Zi," replied Sasha. 

"Ah what if after Aldric recovers completely?"helian's Suggestions.

The two looked at each other, asking for approval, nodding as a decision.

After lunch, Karina and her small family spent time in the headquarters library. Ali and Laith were also in it. 

"Was Brother's painting really good, tumben?" Bara stared at Bima's picture book. 

"Oh tumben huh? Yes to be displayed at the school," said Bima.

"on display?" Karina looked at Bima with raised eyebrows.

"Yes. The chief who asked specifically for Bima. Bima is not good to refuse. Yes, Bima has agreed," explained Bima.

Karina.

"Mima Sakti?" In one look Arion knew what Bima was painting.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Huh Principal's a fraud!"cetus Star.

"Craud?"

"Yes. This is just a subtle way to include Bima in the painting competition between schools. Bima just take it."

"If my face isn't published I don't matter. I want to be a mysterious painter like Mama."

"so apparently. So you want only names that are known to the public, not your likeness?"

"Yup. Being public attention is annoying. Anything highlighted. Anything commented. Mending if not followed by paparazzi," said Blue.

"If that's your wish, Mama and Papa can't ban it" Arion said.

"Yes already. Continue your activities."

"Mama there's another rubik play formula?"

Karina flinched thinly on Bahtiar.

"What did you teach yesterday?" Bahtiar.

Uh right too. Having a smart child likes his pain. No problem, it is a gift.

Karina now holds Bahtiar, patiently teaching Bahtiar the formulas to play rubik. Arion himself was busy teaching the Stars and Blue, now his role is as a math teacher for the two children.

Bara drowned reading an encyclopedia about ancient animals while Brian read a book in which contains information on herbal plants.

"Hei Zi, Mama always wonders when you have your daughter-in-law." Enji who drank instantly choked. 

"My daughter-in-law?"

"Yes. When are you going to be married again?"

"Two? I'm only 28. My face is still a baby face. Don't call me dong, Ma!"wincek Enji's.

"It's another story."

"Here's Mama. This kid, if he's gonna get married, will say." Enji raises his thumb for Amri. 

"Yes. Just do not let any woman come to the house with two bodies or bring a child who has been born!" Mary grumbled to imagine if that happened.

"It's never gonna happen, Ma. Let me put it this way, abstain me from touching a woman who is not my wife." Enji forms a V on his finger.

"Babstinous! The real evidence already exists. Fuck up!"sahut Mary. Enji laughed lightly while Amri himself was busy reading magazines while enjoying the beach breeze in the afternoon.

Haha

The happy laughter sounded so clear from the small family chasing each other on the beach. With each one carrying a sandal, the little family left footprints that were immediately erased by the waves.

"Ouch!" Their steps came to a halt as one fell down in the sand.

"Sister!" 

The star raised his face, looking one by one at his anxious-looking sister.

"Are you okay?"ask Bahtiar for worry. The star nodded, standing assisted by Bima and Bara.

"The taste of sand is bad!" The star spat out the sand that entered his mouth. 

"What is sand food?"blue asked with an annoyed face.

"Ck!" The stars clucked.

"Your brother is a man not a duck" said Bima.

"Did you eat enough to eat sand?" Bara is getting sucked.

"Forgot me from that!"the stars are upset.

Hahaha 

Karina and Arion shook their heads slowly at the five laughing boys while the girl clenched her hands was annoyed.

"Enough! Nothing funny! Her sister fell instead of being treated instead of being hurt! You heartless little brother!"grutter Star.

"Are you hurt?" Blue asked with a plain face.

"No. I'm not hurt!"sahut Bintang, stepped away near Karina and Arifin. Unfortunately not two steps, the Star fell again and now touched his wrist. Arion and Karina came closer. 

"Breaked?"ask Karina to make sure. Arion nodded, giving a massage on the Star's ankle. The stars grimaced softly, not crying.

"Huh, the basis of most prestige!"blue Chirps.

"Basically my sister is insensitive!"the automated reply of the Stars left the five children speechless. Blue and Bima exchanged lyrics, sighing softly.

"Easy-after. Don't keep arguing. Let's go home," Lerai Arion.

"okay."

Arion then carried the Bintang while Karina herded her five more children, watching from behind their steps and directions.

From day to day, Aldric's condition improved. Under Sasha's care, the relationship between the two is getting closer and more steady to get married soon.

Two months after the accident, their wedding date was finally decided. A week from now, Friday morning in KUA. There was no reception in the building or ballroom, there was only a simple celebration in the headquarters. It was the pure desire of Aldric and Sasha.

Tonight is their last night before officially becoming a legal couple in the eyes of religion and country. Aldric and Sasha spend the night looking at the stars from the park. 

"Sasha are you happy?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course I'm happy!"firmly Sasha. Aldric smiled gently.

"It never before occurred to me that I would marry a woman older than me who was different from my hometown. Nor will it ever be part of the famous Blue Sword everywhere" Aldric said. 

Sasha laughed in response to Aldric's exposure.

"So you're sorry you wanted to marry me?" A light tone that makes Aldric's heart beat faster.

"Of course not! Age is not an obstacle to love and marry!"answer Aldric steady.

"Haha. Are really. You're absolutely right, my future husband in droves" Sasha laughed.

"In droves?"

"It's a man who's in a relationship with a woman older than him."

"There's just nothing." Aldric shook his head amusedly.

"By the way our wedding day coincides with your birthday, doesn't it?"

"Hm .. yes." 

"Good." Sasha smiled meaningfully. Aldric frowned not understanding.

"Why?"

"What?"

"You're smiling mysteriously."

"Oh it's just nice to have found the right gift for you" Sasha replied.

Aldric nodded slowly though still a little confused.

"Ah yes if you remember it's been two months rather than you being Mr Arion's sister?"

"Yes it seems, I don't count them either" said Aldric.

"It turns out that it feels like a mother's affection. So soft and pure." Aldric smiled gently.

"That's right. He has a great motherly nature. Members here also feel a lot of affection including me," said Sasha.

"Yes I saw it too. Maria's mother and Amri's father were like no other parents. They do not share their love. They also do not hesitate to mix with other members. There is no sense of disgust what else is reluctant because of differences in status. This is the real family" Aldric said.

"If you've seen her, why did you hesitate to accept Mr. Arion's offer of being Mr. Arion's younger brother?"

"Do you not know why?"

"Hm." Sasha thought for a moment. Actually the answer was already in his mind.

"Rivalry? Envy envious? The sneer? Dislike from other members?"

"really. I'm afraid it's happening."

Sasha laughed. 

"Regardless. Naturally, it's only natural that you think that way. Aldric remembered my words, in the Blue Sword there is indeed competition. But healthy competition. There is no cheating let alone envy. Yeah-huh. Maybe you just don't believe it. In a small group alone there was competition and the behavior of each other let alone in a large organization like this Blue Sword. But remember this is the Blue Sword. With all the rules, obligations, rights, and powers that have been firmly established by Queen."

Aldric listened seriously to Sasha's explanation.

"Dropping each other will only harm yourself and others. Competition remains but competition is healthy with a useful impact for all members. Not just racing for the better but together fighting for the better."

"You know why we can all be one heart?"

Aldric.

"Because the Queen is always advising and warning us. United we firmly divorced we collapsed. What was so painstakingly built together what might it want to destroy? The Blue Sword is one body with the Queen as the regulator of the running of the other limbs. Ah Aldric it feels too long if I explain it all. In the future you'll understand by yourself."

"Is this the so-called wise leader who is respected and valued by his subordinates? Self-awareness is the key. Loyalty is the guardian while family is the spirit?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"But even so, conflict of course. It's just directly handled by the legal section. Does not make the problem look runyam and resolved clearly. Not infrequently, Queen also intervened. Ah in the Blue Sword there is no bribing bribe. So if any member is subject to severe punishment he will definitely go through with it, according to what the law has determined."

"It sounds impossible. Nothing is impossible in this world. I'm really lucky and happy to be a part of this great family. Also thankful for this is where I found my heart's lover."
