Poor Rain

49

I woke up from my sleep. Prince Riana is still sleeping beside me. Slowly I raised my hand that was holding me. Very carefully I broke away from him. The door of the room is slightly open. Maybe Ferlay came and looked at me.

I got off the bed. Walk to the bathroom and shower. When I came out, the Prince was no longer in his place. I took clothes in the closet. Curling my hair with the original loop over the nape. I'm wearing thin make up. Walk out and find Ferlay already running along the corridor.

Soon I caught him and lifted him into the room. I bathed Ferlay. It's a bit of a hassle when I have to chase after Him while wearing clothes. George was walking around the dining table. Prepare breakfast while Grandma arranges food on the plate.

"It's been quite a joke. Let's have breakfast. My mom's friends are there. Be polite" I said after finishing combing Ferlay's hair.

I'm holding Ferlay to the dining table. The nobleman Voldermon sat with a sleepy face. Beside him were the Asry Nobles and Xasfir. Prince Riana followed not long after I had Ferlay next to me.

"I'm very curious. Who is this little one" asked the Noble Voldermon as he pointed towards Ferlay.

"My name is Ferlay. I'm the son of Lekky's father and Camila's mother. Also the son of Mama Yuki and...." Ferlay seemed to think for a moment. Then turned to look at me with her innocent eyes.

I was always afraid that Ferlay would look at me like this. Which means there will be questions from him that I have to answer. He will keep asking until he is satisfied. Sometimes it's an easy question but more often it's asking a hard question. Like why I'm having a coming month while his father isn't. Why the earth is round is not square, oval or square. I've always had the edge to find answers that can be digested by him.

Usually if Ferlay is already like this. Lekky would choose to run away. Really responsible dad.

"Ma.what is the name of Mama's husband. Grandma said, Mama has made up with Mama's husband"

Deg

Suddenly I felt the tension at the dinner table. Ferlay didn't notice it. He looked at me with a plain look. Waiting for my answer.

"Sera Madza" I cried. I dare not look at Prince Riana when answering.

"Yes..I'm the son of Mama Yuki and Sera's father. Isn't that Mama ?"

"Yes right"

I'm getting rice to Ferlay's plate. Hoping he didn't ask any more questions about Prince Sera.

"Ma..She said Mama has made up. But why didn't he come here"

"He was busy taking care of his army. We have different tasks. So if the situation is good later I'll bring him to meet you" I said as I scooped the vegetables on Ferlay's plate.

"real Ma...You promised you'd take me to see him"

"Of course"

Prince Riana's face looked displeased as We discussed Prince Sera. His jaw was tightly clenched.

I pray in my heart. Hope Ferlay doesn't ask such a risky question.

"Ma..Your husband's.."

George cleared his throat next to us. Severing chatter. He put a packet of candy on Ferlay's plate. "Miss Yuki, I found this for Young Master as a dessert when in the market, I hope young Master Ferlay will like it"

Ferlay immediately accepted it enthusiastically.

"You're George's best. Thanks"

At least George had already decided on Ferlay's question regarding Prince Sera. I like George. He's a reliable trained butler. Loyal has accompanied Lekky for 13 years.

Ferlay looked at the candy with a feeling of pleasure. From the expression I'm sure the candy will be the opening menu, the main dish and the ending. I looked at George with a grateful look.

"You can't eat everything until you finish all your food" I said to Ferlay in a stern manner.

"But Mama.."

"There's no buts..." I said try to stop the discussion. I helped Ferlay eat. While others enjoyed the food.

"Mama...Mama" Ferlay looked back at me with his innocent look. I'm sighing. Hope he doesn't ask anything bad this time.

"Yes dear"

"Ma..My grandmother said she was pregnant with a baby sister. Is that true"

"Yes...He will be your sister later. You can play with him if he's born"

"Is it really Ma ?"

"Yes sure..."

"Ma...Is having a child fun ?"

"Yes of course. Like Mama's got Ferlay. Every day is so fun"

"Then I also want to make my own children. Ma's...How to get your mom pregnant"

The noble Voldermon coughed in front of me. I immediately held out a glass of water to her. I don't know how to answer that question. The noble Asry seemed to be trying to hold back the laughter of seeing me who was confused.

I stared at Ferlay for a moment. Thinking of what kind of answer I gave her. I don't want to lie to her with a baby sister story carried by a stork from house to house like Mama did when I was a kid.

"You can't make your own baby sister yet"

"Why ?"

"Baby sister can only be made by two married people. Like your father with your mother. Or Grandpa with Grandma. Once they get married, they'll sleep together in one room. After that baby sister can appear"

I was feeling puffed up when I had to tell this in front of all of them. I felt my face red withstanding shame.

"So we have to get married first and can sleep together, Ma ya.."

"Yes right. You have to be mature and old enough to get married and have your own baby sister"

"But Ma, why did I see Mama sleeping with her sister this morning. Didn't Mama say Mama's husband isn't here. Mama said we have to get married first so we can sleep together"

I opened my mouth in disbelief at Ferlay's innocent question. I feel like I want to go and escape from here.
