Reincarnation Diana

10

A few hours later. Brother Anas, Claude, and Felix have returned.

"What's wrong with you, Felix? Why do you look like a man who ran around Meita?" my many.

"Your Majesty, help me" whined Felix.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm in bul—" Felix's mouth was immediately closed by Anas' brother.

"It's nothing, we just finished playing it so tired" said Anas.

"Why did you shut Felix's mouth?" ask Penelope.

"It's okay, Felix is too noisy" he replied.

"Claude, tell me what really happened" I said.

"As Anastasius had said, we just finished playing."

Penelope and I still couldn't believe it but when we asked again, Zenith suddenly came home crying. Penelope walked over to Zenith and hugged her. "What's up, baby? Weren't you playing with your friends? Why did you come home crying like this? Is something bothering you? Tell me, baby." asked Penelope in a row.

"Friends say Zenith is creepy" he said.

"Curbs?" asked Penelope not to understand.

"Friends said that behind Zenith there was a creepy black shadow then they said they did not want to play with Zenith again and after that they all ran away leaving Zenith alone," he explained.

"My poor little girl. It's okay, Zenith can play with mother," said Penelope appeased Zenith.

Athanasia approached Zenith and hugged her. "It's okay, Zenith. Athy will play with Zenith."

Zenith looked at Athanasia. "Who are you?"

"I Athy. Claude's father's son and Diana's mother. So I'm a cousin."

Anastasius approached Athanasia and Zenith. "Right Zenith, she's your cousin. And the blondes over there are your uncles and aunts."

Zenith greeted, "Hello uncle and aunt. Forgive Zenith for greeting you late."

"It's okay Zenith. Play with Athanasia while we're here" I said.

"good. Zenith will play with Athanasia, because now Zenith also has no friends to play with."

"No problem. Zenith has Athy now, so Zenith is not alone." Zenith nodded and wiped her tears.

"You hungry, baby?" anastasius asked Zenith.

Zenith shakes. "No dad. Zenith wants to play with Athy outside."

"Yaudah, be careful playing and don't go far!" sweat Anas's brother.

"You're not accompanying them?" ask Penelope.

"No, I was very hungry after playing and now I want to eat" Anastasius replied.

"Dad played what? Why not Zenith?!"

Anastasius pinched Zenith's nose. "Who's playing it so long outside?!"

"Huh I should have called Zenith to play together earlier!"

"All right, I'll play with you now."

"No! Zenith wants to play with Athy," he refused.

"Dad not invited?"

"No."

Zenith pulls Athanasian hand. "Let's play outside, Athy." They both left.

"I'm hungry" whined Anastasius.

"Eat it there. There's still food on the table. I'm going out, take care of the kids" Penelope said.

"You didn't accompany me to eat first?"

"No."

"It's so good."

"Who told you to come out?!"

Claude who saw that laughed and mocked him, "Hahaha pity."

"I want to go out too" I said.

Claude looked in disbelief at me. "Darling?!"

"What?"

"Kok you came out anyway? Let me eat first" he asked.

"No. I want to see the kids play. You ate with Anas and Felix."

This time Felix laughed. "Hahaha how you two love."

Me, Penelope, and Lily came out and approached Athanasia and Zenith who were playing in the sand. Penelope's house is close to the beach.

"What are you guys doing?" my many.

"Mother?! Athy and Zenith were playing sand. We want to make a big palace like ours" Athy replied.

"Can we come?" ask Penelope.

"certain. Mother, aunt, and Lily let's go together to make a big, beautiful sand castle." We played with pleasure. Until it doesn't feel like the day is getting hotter.

"Hot." lamented Zenith.

"What if we play water? It's dirty anyway, too" asked Penelope.

"Good idea," I said.

"Ayoo, Zenith also wants to play water. Athy let's go play water together!" exclaim Zenith.

Athanasia refused. "Athy won't."

"What's the matter princess? Usually you are very happy to play water," said Lily.

"Athy was afraid of drowning. Athy had read in the book that the beach was very deep water and many dangerous animals. Mother, aunt, and Zenith don't play on the beach either" Athanasian class.

Focusing too much on books is not good either. I also gave instructions to him. "Athanasia, what is written in the book is not wrong son but we also should not focus too much on the book. We still have to try and prove it ourselves but under adult supervision. I know that Athanasia is also curious about the beach, right? But because of the words in the book Athanasia became afraid."

"But books are windows of knowledge so books are never wrong."

"It is true but is Athanasia enough to read a book? Does Athanasia not want to prove it to herself?"

"But if it's really dangerous how?"

"There's mom here. If it feels dangerous, I will help Athanasia. That's why my mother accompanied Athanasia to play. Experience is the best teacher, baby. So Athanasia wants to try it?"

Athanasia nodded. "But mother must hold Athy's hand yes, must not be let go!"

"Yes dear. Here hold mom's hand." Athanasia took my hand and followed my steps.

"Mother, Zenith also wants to hold hands with mother" Zenith pinta.

"God my daughter's also scared of the beach apparently," led Penelope.

"No. Zenith was not afraid but Zenith was worried that she was afraid so Zenith would hold her hand" she said.

"Well, I'll hold on to Zenith. Please take care of me, baby."

"good. Leave it to Zenith. Is Lily scared too?"

"No, miss, I'm not afraid."

"Alright but if Lily's afraid to tell me yes. I'll hold Lily's hand." Lily nodded.

The five of us played water together. Sometimes we splash water on each other and end up with a water war. Athanasians began not to be afraid of the beach water and enjoyed it. He no longer held my hand.

"Athy, can you swim?" ask Zenith.

"Slightly," Athanasia replied.

"Then let's race. Who manages to swim the farthest, he's the winner."

"But it's dangerous, Zenith. How about we swim too far later?"

"Just calm down, we're kids so it's impossible to swim too far."

"But—"

"That's Athy. If you win, won't you feel proud? You can tell it to Claude's uncle and Aunt Diana too, they must be proud to hear it. But that's if you win."

"I'll win!"

"try it. You're gonna fight me, a great swimmer from Meita."

"Let's do it and prove who's the greatest." Athanasia and Zenith start racing without the knowledge of Diana, Penelope, and Lily.

"Where are Athanasia and Zenith?" my many.

"Aren't they near us?"

We looked around.

"Madam, princess and Miss Zenith are there," pointed Lily towards the middle of the sea.

Penelope was surprised to see him. "How could they be there?!"

"Let me approach them" Lily said, preparing to dive.

"But their safety is important, ma'am. Let me save them."

I'm shaking. "They're important but you're important, Lily. Let me just, you wait by the beach with Penelope."

Lily held my arm. "No. How could I dare let you take such a dangerous risk."

"Don't argue! Zenith and Athanasia are getting further and further away!" shouted Penelope.

"It's okay, Lily. I will not return safely with the children. Now you take Penelope to the beach because it's too dangerous here. The sea is starting to rise."

"Please return safely, madam. I'll wait for you."

I'm nodding. "certain. I'm going to tip Penelope."

Lily took Penelope out of the water. And I swam right up to Athanasia and Zenith. As far as I am Athanasia is not very good at swimming but how can she swim that far. I managed to grab Athanasia and Zenith's hands, then they stopped swimming.

"Auntie?!"

"Mother?!"

They both looked surprised to see me.

"What have you done so far?!" many angry.

"I-mom, why are you angry?" ask Athanasia scared.

"Look where you are now." Athanasia and Zenith looked around them.

"Why are we in the middle of the sea?" asked Zenith who was starting to get scared.

"That's what I asked you, what have you done to swim this far?"

Athanasia and Zenith started to get scared because they could not feel the bottom of the ocean. They clung to me and held on tight.

"Auntie, Zenith is afraid."

"I-yes mother, Athy is also afraid."

"Mom will ask for your explanation later. Holding on tight, I'll use magic to move places faster." I used teleportation magic and in no time we moved to the beach.

Penelope immediately hugged Zenith and checked her entire body. "Has anyone hurt, dear?"

"Ti-nothing, mother," replied Zenith.

"Don't do that again! You're scaring me!" penelope Sweater.

"Yes mother. Forgive Zenith," he regretted.

"Explain to me what are you guys doing until you can be in the middle of the sea all of a sudden?!" my orders.

Zenith explained, "So Zenith invited Athy to a swimming race. Zenith thought we wouldn't be able to swim too far but it turns out we're already in the middle of the sea."

Penelope was surprised to hear her daughter's explanation. "The zenith?! Why would you do that? What if you two get hurt huh?! Aren't you long-minded, Zenith?!"

Zenith lowered her head. "Sorry mother. Zenith admits that Zenith was wrong."

"You can't get out of the house for a week as punishment!"

"But mom, Zenith wants to play."

"Play in the house. You have disappointed me, Zenith." After saying that, Penelope left.

Zenith was very sad. No, not because she can't play out but she's sad that she let her mother down.

Lily tried to calm Zenith down. "Miss, Miss Penelope isn't mad at you but she's too worried you're gonna be that way."

"I know, Lily."

"Then don't be sad, miss, your beauty will be gone."

"I am sad that I failed my mother. Though my mother said I should be a good cousin to Athy and take care of him but I instead invite Athy to do something dangerous," explained Zenith.

"Now do you know that what you're doing is wrong and very dangerous?"

Zenith nodded. "Yes Lily, I know."

"That's great. After this try to talk again with Miss Penelope. Tell her that she deeply regrets the act and promises not to repeat it again" Lily proposed.

"Can it be like that?" ask Zenith.

"could. Miss just needs to say it from the heart of the deepest miss," Lily replied.

Zenith nodded.

"Aunt Diana," call Zenith.

"Yes Zenith?"

"I'm sorry for having invited Athy to do something dangerous. I guess I won't be able to swim that far but I was wrong, we were almost to the middle of the beach. Thank you for helping us, aunt."

"certain. But don't do anything like this again, okay?"

"Yes aunt, Zenith promised not to invite Athy to do something dangerous again" said Zenith regretfully.

"Jude, now we're back home." We all went back home. Claude, Brother Anas, and Felix are surprised to see you coming home soaked.

Claude approached me and Athanasia with a worried look. "What's been going on?!"

"none. We were just playing water on the beach" I replied.

Anas looks confused. "Where's Penelope? Didn't you guys play together?"

"Did Penelope not come home yet?" my many.

"Not yet" replied Anas.

Zenith immediately approached her father. "Dad, mom's not home?"

"No dear. Where'd your mother go?"

"So mom came home first out of anger with Zenith but dad said that mom hasn't come home yet. Then where's mom now?"

"Dad will look for him. You wait at home."

"Zenith is coming."

"No, Zenith. You stay home with your uncle and aunt."

Zenith started crying. "Zenith wants to come find mom. Zenith was worried about mom."

Anas began to be confused. "Stop crying, Zenith"

"Zenith wants to come with me."

Penelope is coming. "What's this about? Why is Zenith crying?"

I'm glad Penelope came at the right time. "Penelope?! Where the hell have you been? We're all worried."

"I ran out of the market to buy some fresh fish."

Zenith immediately ran towards Penelope and hugged her. "Mother, don't go again. Zenith promised to be a good boy and not harm anyone else."

"Zenith, mom's not going, baby. I'm just going to the market for a minute."

"Mother, don't be angry at Zenith anymore. Zenith promises not to be naughty anymore."

"Yes mother is not angry anymore at Zenith, but Zenith must promise not to do anything dangerous especially to invite someone!" penelope Sweater.

Zenith nodded. "Yes mother, Zenith promised."

"Smart kid. Now stop crying because you're going to make a special grilled fish. Zenith likes grilled fish, right?"

"Yes, Zenith really likes mother-made grilled fish."

"OK mom will make it for dinner. Now let's take a shower."

"Penelope, why are your clothes dry? Haven't you been back home since we left?" manya curious.

"Ah I met someone and he helped me dry this shirt" she replied.

I scrunched my forehead. "Who?"

"I don't know because that guy used a black robe to cover his face."

"Mistress, you should take a shower first just continue chatting," said Felix.

The women went back to the bathroom and took a shower.

Her night.

We all had dinner together with a grilled fish menu made by Penelope, me, and Lily. Like Penelope said before, we're going to make grilled fish together for dinner.

After dinner Zenith asked to sleep with Athy alone. Because there was an empty room left so Penelope allowed it. We all went back to our rooms after dinner. There was no chat session as we all felt very tired today and decided to take a break right away.

In the room.

"Claude, I'd like to go to Athanasia and Zenith's room for a minute."

"For what?" tanyakanya.

"I just want to play with them for a while. I'm afraid they're still afraid of what happened this afternoon" I replied.

Penelope and I have explained what happened. Claude, Brother Anas, and Felix looked very surprised. Claude and Anas of course preached Athanasia and Zenith but in a gentle tone. In contrast to Felix, he spoke in such a firm tone that Athanasia and Zenith were terrified. Honestly, just this time I saw the figure of Felix like that. Felix is always gentle. Perhaps it was because he was too worried about the two of them that it warned them resolutely so that such an incident would not happen again.

Claude nodded. "Alright, but don't take too long because I don't want to be left by you for long."

"Sleep first when you're sleepy. I know you're very tired. Don't wait for me."

Claude shakes. "No. I'll wait for you to come back."

"I went to Athanasia and Zenith's room first." I'm leaving too.
