Punishment for the Killer

Nightmare

"Elyn... What's wrong?" The father who was standing at the door asked Elyn, who was not asleep at the time.

"aaah.. Dad.." Elyn looked at her father with teary eyes. Dad approached his daughter. On his trunk with soft Elyn hair.

"Daughter father why? Why isn't this clock sleeping, baby?" Father said astonished to see Elyn sitting pensively staring at the window of her room.

Of course the natural thing at 10 pm is a very late hour for children his age.

"So Elyn had a bad dream.. Elyn dreams of drowning dad, very dark. Elyn could not breathe. Elyn woke up and was shocked. When Elyn tried to sleep again, Elyn still felt afraid and did not dare to close her eyes..."

"Dear Elyn father, very scared huh.. Everything's gonna be fine. It was just a dream.. There's a father here.. I'll keep you company until my Elyn falls asleep. How's it?" Said Dad while fixing Elyn's blanket.

"Elyn was really scared of dad.. Every time I close my eyes, it's like Elyn's drowning." Whine Elyn to her father

"There's a father here, baby.. Sleep away.. Or want to sleep with mom and dad?" I told Elyn to try to calm Elyn down.

Elyn frowned as she thought well of her father's offer. The father who saw that smiled faintly.

"aaah.. No need dad.. I'll just stay with you until Elyn falls asleep." Elyn refused his father's offer.

"Yes my dear princess.. " At the same time, he put Elyn's body back into the bed and fixed Elyn's blanket.

"But yeah, if Elyn drowns, will you help Elyn?" He asked curiously and got back out of his sleep.

"Of course...!" Excited father full of confidence.

"Then...what if there is no father.?" Elyn looked very serious about her question.

With a surprised look at his son's question, the father replied with a smile.

"Of course there will be a prince who will help my beloved daughter.." Answer father. Whether it's a serious question or not. But that's the right answer for a child.

"Really father.." said Elyn excitedly. The story of the Princess and the Prince is a beautiful fairy tale for children.

"My dear Elyn.. Been sleeping.. In order for Elyn to go to sleep, I'll tell you one thing.. On Sunday we will leave with the company father for a vacation by cruise ship. We will sail through several countries, even we will visit the Zorina Continent. Don't you really want to go there?" Said the father giving good news while convincing Elyn so that Elyn immediately went back to sleep.

"Really yeah..?" Elyn still did not expect.

"of course.. Dad even asked his boss to advance the Employee Holiday schedule so that it could coincide on the birthday of his beloved daughter.. How's.?" I tried to convince Elyn. He hopes that the good news will allow Elyn to forget her nightmares.

"Gee... Thanks dad.. Elyn was so happy.. Elyn was impatiently waiting for it.." A smile now grew from Elyn's tiny lips.

I check back often on Elyn's room. To make sure he was asleep or just tidying up the books scattered on the bed when Elyn overslept. It has become a habit of the father in every heart. Not infrequently, Elyn was waiting for her father if the nightmare happened as it is today.

Shortly after Elyn closed her eyes. He fell asleep and forgot the nightmare, perhaps because he was happy after hearing his father's words earlier. The happy news he so desperately wanted.

The next day Elyn woke up earlier than usual. Waking up Elyn immediately ran towards the dining table for breakfast. Usually Elyn will be awakened when breakfast is ready, of course with extra effort to wake Elyn. Because it is often difficult to wake up. But that morning Elyn seemed very excited. Maybe because he remembered what Dad said last night. That they would visit the Continent of Zorina. The place he most wanted to visit. Of course he was eager to hear the details from dad as soon as possible.

"Ely.. Don't run you just woke up later slipped looh.." Excited Dad who was worried about his daughter who rushed towards the dining room.

From far away I've seen Elyn even fall down the stairs with her little legs.

Elyn just laughed as she approached her father and mother at the dinner table. He began to sit next to his father.

"Waaah.. Eeelyy... Mother's beloved daughter woke up earlier today.. What's up?" The mother who wondered at once felt astonished to see her daughter cheerfully had woken up sooner than usual.

"of course.. It's because Elyn wants to see me.." Elyn replied in a cheerful and proud tone. He was very impatient and looked at his father.

Seeing that, I got a little jealous. Mom started trying to tease her favorite daughter.

"So you don't want to see your mother.. Aah. Mom is sad!" Said the mother with a sad expression to tease Elyn.

"I love you, I want to see you. But I want to hear Dad's story. Dad said we're going to Zorina.. " Elyn said with a smile and approached her mother. He hugged and kissed his mother's cheek.

Mom finally smiled happily. The father who had noticed them was smiling. Abelyn Casia Nadifa is their only child. Given the condition of Mother Elyn, it is not possible to have children again. Elyn was their only center of attention.

"Is that really dad.?" Ask the mother who had been drinking coffee while watching them act up.

Elyn who feels proud because mother does not know the news is getting worse. It's like Elyn was the first person I told you about. Who is not happy with the feeling of being privileged.

"of course.. We'll sail and stop by the continent of Zorina. We'll even dock in Bahia's capital.." Father confirmed Elyn's words.

"Gee.. It must be fun.. I'm also impatient.." The happy mother. He knew that Elyn wanted to go there.

They had breakfast and had a long chat. They had jokes and laughter. The warm atmosphere of a happy family. They are happy to discuss the details of their departure later. They also discussed preparing for the holiday.

Elyn looked really impatient. Certainly not just visiting the Continent of Zorina that he dreamed of it. But because they will also celebrate his birthday heart later. Double happiness for Elyn.
