“You know, he came alone across the mud that was in the swamp meadow,” Constan told. “And he's more gentlemanly. He's good at cleaning himself. Hey Banker! You must congratulate this lady. You've met him before.”
He retreated but Constan immediately drew closer to the animal. “He won't bite you! For God's sake, he's the friendliest in the world, you know it.”
Dygta wanted to speak but no one could get out of his throat. Dygta just felt like he had interrupted their time.
“Banker, come. Come here, come on! You're not wanted in this place, baby,” said Constan grabbed Banker.
The banker hesitantly stepped up and his eyes glanced at Dygta. Constan gets impatient, “Come, hurry, you, Come on! All right, here and you don't be naughty,” Constan told his pet dog. “Nona doesn't like you, baby,” she added while stroking Banker's head.
Again Bankar looked at Constan as if he wanted to say that everyone liked him. Constan furrowed both of his eyebrows when he found Banker's gaze toward him. Had Constan not been there, Dygta would have liked it. The room has a blend of ancient and present designs, with elegant shapes and colors. Dygta saw a painting behind Constan, and realized why he always had a bad feeling sitting in the living room, because the face of the deceased person in the room is similar to Constan. The eyes in the painting also looked mocking and sharp like Constan's eyes.
Constan held onto Dygta's shoulder while slowly turning it around.
“Where are you going? We haven't had a chance to talk a bit, you and I. I wonder how you are doing now?”
“Good. I'm good, Sir,” said Dygta slightly shaking.
“Did Manner propose to you? Or is he still thinking that you still belong to someone else?” constan mocked.
“How can you say like that, Mister?” dygta's jaw hardened as if he wanted to vent the anger he had on him over the words he had made to him and about Doctor Manner Peters.
“How can you say that question to a person as good as Dr. Peters with such derogatory words?” he said again with a breath that was still held.
“Yes where to know. Maybe I don't like it if he becomes a victim of fraud, besides he is a good person, it also happens that he is a very rich person,” Constan said sarcastically.
“But I don't want the money!” exclaimed Dygta gasping for breath holding her breath that was still holding back emotions. “What causes you to behave like you hate me so much that you have to say such an insult? I will not deceive Dr. Peters. And I don't know how to be a con!”
“Ha ha ha, do I have to put on a face of astonishment?”
“I don't expect you to wonder this kind of thing. All of this is true. And let me get out of here!” it was Dygta who tried to wriggle from Constan's grip, but the man was too strong to hold Dygta so he couldn't do much. Dygta bit his lower lip withstanding Constan's grip pain.
Feeling defeated Dygta energy also exclaimed, “You are really very cruel! You put up without regret like an innocent dictator, like in that painting!”
“Already, Limin. Obviously he was unaware of what he had just said that,” Constan said calming Limin. “You must remember that he has amnesia,” continued Constan who kept his gaze directed towards Dygta.
When Constan said that, Limin fidgeted and flicked his finger at the armrest on the chair. “Manner also says like, Constan. You also do not forget that.” There was a tone of protest heard from Limin's lips.
“I mean, he's a doctor. Let the girl do what she wants here. Don't you remember the message from Manner, if he only knew you were torturing him, he'd be mad at you once and ban you from this house again. Is that how much Dygta is worth to him?” The tone was an octave high.
“I won't take a headache. After I could or could not come to this house again,” Constan denied.
Constan sensed that Dygta was trembling and immediately looked at Dygta. “So you think of me as the same perpetrator of violence against you perpetrated by dictators, Dygta? I will tell you that I am of Spanish descent, and my mother was a famous dancer at that time. Now you know it, don't you?” clearly again.
Dygta's face flushed red upon hearing the satier words spoken by Constan. Really mouthed chili jalapeno. She doesn't know anything about Constan's mother, because Turner didn't tell her about her mother, only her father. At that time his father Constan brought a woman who was his wife. At that time there was a very extraordinary excitement at Peters' house. The woman was very beautiful and amazing to the one who saw her, but it was a pity that the woman was unable to adapt well to the entire Peters family. He always complains and does not like to live in the countryside. They soon returned to the city.
“Yes. I know it, Sir. Mr. Turner told me. But I have no right to know more about what happened at that time, because it is the privacy of the family that people should not carelessly know,” said Dygta.
Dygta's hazel-green eyes observed Constan clearly visible in Constan's vision emanating the void he felt. It is like putting up protection for himself to isolate himself from the outside world.
“Can I go now?” ask Dygta.
“Same can. Please go,” sahut Constan, then he releases his grip and turns towards the furnace. He threw his cigarette butt into the fire. Dygta left the room and shut the door.
“You are a very feared enemy, Constan,” Limin looked at the painting that was there. The painting was a Jonathan Zoffany who was very similar to Constan. It looks like the face of Constan.
Constan looked at Limin's view, “Maybe because I have Spanish blood. Spanish blood, you know, existed before my father came to bring the Spanish woman, the dancer. Some of the Peters family became Drake's naval officers, and one of them took the woman as his hostage from the attack that had been carried out in the city of Cadiz and it was made his wife. You know, it was Adam Peters' grandmother,” Constan explained and pointed to the painting. “The grandmother was a marquez, a Spanish nobleman. Apparently her attractiveness is decreasing for some of her descendants.”
“But I don't expect you, Constan,” Limin said again as he spread his fingers in red-fisted wrinkles, his full red lips trying to tease Constan. Constan withdrew Limin to immediately stand up from his chair and Limin was now in Constan's arms.
