"What exactly happened to your daughter? why did he turn out like that? is he probably possessed?" Matilda railed on many questions to Ema. His widowed older brother now lives with them.
Ema quiet. He himself did not know what to answer. On the one hand, she was excited about Hanna's change, but Catherine, who was used to being pampered, showed her displeasure.
It's all reasonable. During this time Catherine became the pride, the center of attention and affection. The girl must have been scared, with Hanna changing, then people would glance at her brother.
"Geezer.."
"What do I have to answer? I don't know why he suddenly changed"
"Don't let him go wild, and have ambition to be the center of attention!" matilda exclaimed, in her heart, admitting that her nephew was indeed very beautiful at this time. But Matilda who from Hanna's birth already disliked the girl, still piled hate on her.
"Remember, don't let him embarrass this family!" continued the 50-year-old woman. Living in loneliness and sadness made his heart narrow and filled with feelings of hate.

Pocketing permission from her father, Hanna chose to spend her time at the stables. He wanted to get closer to his white horse.
"Why does Miss like to play with this horse?" asked Mery who observed Hanna combing the white horse's fur.
"I'll name you Buckbeak, "he said he didn't heed Mery's question.
"What does that mean?" Mery dissolves into Hanna's seriousness.
"You don't know Buckbeak? the animals in the Harry Potter movies?"
"The film? Harry Potter?" mery asked in confusion. Hanna finally realized who she was talking to and what world.
"Eh, I'm just making up. Forget it, Mer" continued Hanna putting a comb on the table, just as it appeared the palace guard who looked the same age as her.
"My Lady" respectfully opened her hat and placed it on her chest, saluting Hanna.
Gawat, this guy's role in the novel is very small, I remember what his name is..
"You're a worker here?"
"Yes, Miss. I'm Larry, at your service, you"
Hanna smiled happily. Here he is so respected, many handsome men, even though their class is below him, but still they are handsome men who are charmed. Their beautiful body and face made Hanna enjoy her role.
If you were in my world, believe me you wouldn't look at me with your charmed look..
"Is something wrong, Miss? why are you looking at her with a smile?" mery whispered until Hanna groggy and fixed her upright body.
"Larry, can I ride Buckbeak?"
"This horse," sambar Hanna saw the confusion on Larry's face.
"Oh. So this horse finally has a name. Of course, Miss. I'll prepare the saddle"
"Miss, are you serious? You've never even ridden a horse before" prevent Mery.
"You take it easy, I can" Hanna rolled her eyes.
Riding a horse is not foreign to him. Several times Stuart took them to Bandung, on the plantation owned by his papa friend, usually Hanna would ride a horse. Sometimes with Stuart, or with his father's son. Don't expect Cathy to come with him, the girl certainly won't want to heat her skin burning in the sun.
Larry started taking out the white horse. The beast welcomed his freedom by jumping here and there.
"Miss, you haven't even worn a riding outfit yet" Mery reminded Hanna.
But as if he had forgotten that his master was not the kind of woman who cared about the rules, Mery could only swallow his saliva when he saw Hanna jump on a horse.
Mery almost screamed when he saw how Hanna was sitting in the saddle. If usually the noble girl riding a horse by sitting sideways, Hanna without hesitation, without thinking twice, sat astride like a man.
Every British noble woman is often doing horse riding activities, however, usually they will sit on a horse with a sideways position. This marked honor and elegance for the female rider.
"Just relax, Mery, I'm cursing the long lagging behind my long skirt, right?" Hannan smiled amusedly at the look on Mery's face.
The wind blew when Hanna put her horse forward as fast as she wanted. The land was so vast that it was acres. Mery had already shown the boundaries of the Jhonson family's land, however, Hanna thought it was fine that she crossed that line. After all, the land was empty, no one who had it right now could ban it.
Buckbeak's pace and footstroke made Hanna's adrenaline soar. The louder the roar, the wind blew his face and hair apart from the blue velvet ribbon ties and the hair fluttered. Afraid of falling down the valley, Hanna regretfully lowered Buckbeak's pace, slowly combing the small riverbank before crossing the river.
Now they enter the path into the forest that continues to attract the attention of Hanna. Rabbits roam behind bushes and squirrels as if they do not want to miss jumping from one tree branch to another.
A few minutes passed, Hanna managed to arrive at the top of the buki. A journey that is not in vain. Hanna got down from the horse and did not forget to wrap Buckbeak's bridle to a strong tree trunk, then walked across the field full of green grass.
Hanna's gaze was now satisfied by the beautiful scenery she had just seen this time. The scent of wildflowers in late summer could she feel piercing her nose, her gaze already locked by the beautiful expanse of vast expanse before her eyes. No more time to look up or look back until unaware of the presence of a horseman sitting unmoved on a reddish-brown stallion.
Alex smiled broadly, when Hanna took off the blue jacket that had been draped Mery on Hanna's shoulder. The girl hurriedly went inside the house to pick up Hanna's riding clothes, but the girl of course refused, and just accepted the jacket.
Now Hanna had draped the jacket with carelessness on her shoulders, far from the norms and ethics of noble women at that time.
Hanna stepped lightly, making her long hair swing as she walked towards the nearby beautiful grass with a clear water lake.
Sitting under the dry green grass, Hanna opened her riding boots, pulled the leggings up to a calf-high, bared the white calf and unhesitatingly dipped her foot in the water.
Seeing this, Alex was confused. The dilemma struck, whether she turned back and forth or even approached this tender prey before her, and as Hanna lifted her skirt higher showed all her calves up to her smooth knees, Alex confidently got off his horse, and tied it to one of the big trees that were there.
