Poor Rain

32

I hold the arm of the Noble Voldermon. Grandma is gone. I no longer need to endure the pain.

"Are you okay ?" Asked the Noble Voldermon as I gripped his arm firmly. With a Reflex He instantly lifted me out of the pool. I'm shivering. The nobleman Voldermon took off his coat and covered my feet to keep warm.

"What are you doing in there?, you know what you're doing is dangerous. You could lose your legs by freezing"

"Don't scare me like that" I said riled up. "You think I'm a fool who would go into a pool in this weather for no reason, I'm helping Grandma find a ring that people throw in the middle of the pool"

"There's a guy who threw Grandma's ring into the pool ?" Ask the nobleman Voldermon in disbelief. "Who would do that ?"

I'm silent. The woman who was with Princess Marsha's sister became restless.

His name is Namura. A pretty name as pretty as her face but unfortunately, her nature is not as pretty as her face. Her husband was Commander Jafar. Princess Marsha's Sister.

The nobleman Voldermon helped me stand up when I was good enough.

"I'll take him to his room. You guys go first. Later I will catch up" Nobles Voldermon told Prince Riana. I'm holding Namura. He looked surprised. Didn't think I'd do it.

"Can I talk to you for a minute ?"

"What's the matter with my wife ?" Ask Commander Jafar not like.

"I want to talk to him for a minute. Can it be ?"

"If there's anything the Princess wants to say. Just say it now" replied Namura reluctantly. Maybe he thought if he stayed here I'd stop doing it. But He was wrong.

"Are you sure ?"

"Yes. Just tell me what the Princess wants to talk about"

"I want to ask you where your conscience is. Do you still have any ?. That grandma is not your real mother. But she's been raising you all along. But you're so goddamn good to her"

"What does Namura mean ?" Ask Princess Marsha chiming.

"I didn't know you were happy to take care of the Princess's affairs" Namura said.

"of course. You didn't want Grandma"

"For what..I don't need it. The old man was just troublesome. It's true I was raised by him but it's been three years that we've not been together. Now when my life is better he shows up. For what...to be a parasite in my life ?"

"really. She only raised me but she's not my mother"

"He didn't come here to ask you to repay his bud or to want your luxury. He came here to give you his ring as your gift at your wedding. It's the only treasure He's got after you sold the land and the cows. Don't you realize it's been his source of income all this time. You snatched it up and left it. When He wants to see you, you throw the ring in the pool and throw it out. What kind of child are you" I said emotionally.

"He's not my mom. I don't have a mother like that rascal..Darling.." Namura sulked towards Commander Jafar.

"Quite take care of my wife Princess. You have no right to do so"

"Of course I have a right. Because from now on I'm taking her as my grandmother. So you should know her position is higher than your wife's"

"You have a lot of mouths.."

"Quite Marsha" Prince Riana made us all speechless. The noble Voldermon looked at Namura with a look of disdain.

"I'll take Yuki with me first" said the Noble Voldermon. He pulled me away to avoid conflict.

"I can't believe I've ever fucked a demon like Him" said Noble Voldermon when We were already far enough away from them. I looked at him surprised. I can't believe what I heard.

"What ?"

"I used to know him when I worked at the Bar. I didn't think she was that kind of woman"

"You better be careful in choosing a partner" I said, unable to comment much.

Prince Sera did not mind when I expressed my desire to take care of the grandmother and raise her as my family. Even the Prince provided good treatment for the grandmother's health. Beyond a doubt, Grandma is good at cooking. Lekky is more often around Grandma if Grandma is cooking and is able to spend whatever Grandma cooks for him. He never missed a single opportunity to eat Grandma's handmade even though it was made of simple dishes made by commoners.

Looks like Grandma's cooking is to Lekky's taste. From her gaze I suspected Lekky would take the Grandma to her house to live with.

At first Grandma wanted to go back to her house but I refused because She had nothing there. Lekky refused even more. She persuaded Grandma to even act so spoiled towards that Grandma. Slowly I saw that Lekky found the figure of the mother on Grandma.

We moved to my dad's house to avoid conflict. Princess Marsha spread the untrue news for me to even incite people to hate me. For comfort Prince Sera finally decided We stayed while at Father's house. Lekky and the Darmount family also moved later.

Slowly Grandma has rarely expressed the desire to go home. Mostly because of Lekky who always acts spoiled to Grandma. Even He often teased Grandma until Grandma laughed cheerfully.

Grandma found her family now. With Us.

Today is the highlight of Jambaran celebration. Where the Peacocks have found their love and will pray together on the riverbank for the blessings of their relationship. I'm done dressing up. Wearing anklets clinking at my feet. All this time I have successfully followed every stage of the implementation of Jambaran to pray for Prince Sera. I'm gonna throw a tray of offerings and candles into the river. We hope that our lives will always be filled with light that shows the way.
