The Great War of Rhodesia

4. Welcome to

"Mr Aksa?! Lord Nata?!" The sound of screaming was heard from almost everyone who attended the meeting.

"Aksa!"

"Mr Aksa!"

It was seen Rafa and Luque immediately running towards Aksa from their seats across the table.

"Oh, Rafa, your hand..." Not finished Aksa said, the two women immediately embraced him.

Luque held his hand around Aksa's belly, while Rafa held his hand against Aksa's shoulder. They seem to be crying.

Aksa retreated a few steps back due to the push from Rafa and Luque. Aksa's face also looked surprised. He had not expected to get this kind of reaction from Rafa and Luque. It made her feel happy and happy too.

"You're back.." cried Rafa in tears.

"Why have you been so long." said Luque among the sobs.

Then a little awkwardly Aksa put her right hand against Rafa's back, and her left hand to Luque's back. "Now this time in my whole life hugged a woman. And two at once. Finally luck is on my side!" he exclaimed then, who tried to distract himself so as not to shed tears of feeling. "Come, come here, Miss Anna, Miss Margaret, Miss Helen, let me look like the protagonist in the Harem stories. Come here hug too" he added, looking around.

Then it seemed that everyone began to turn their shocked gazes into a happy smile.

"Why doesn't anyone hug me?" sahut Nata then from beside Aksa with a sad face made up.

"Mr Nata, let me hug you" said Dirk who was closest to Aksa and Nata's position. Yang then walked up to Nata and embraced the young man. Her eyes look teary.

"I didn't mean it, Mr. Dirk," said Nata, who was uncomfortable with Dirk's embrace.

And then almost all the people in the room, immediately rushed towards Aksa and Nata. They are, Lucia, Jean, Orland, Amithy, Cornelius, Anna, Fla, Caspian, Helen, Cedrik, Margaret, Selene, Ellian, Matyas, Go, and 2 Yllgarian Owls and Bulls.

Then there are also some new people who have not known Aksa and Nata. They just stood in place, looking confused by all this.

Looks like some people tailed Dirk by hugging Nata. Like Caspian, Selene, Matyas, and Cedrik. The rest just endures it.

Meanwhile for Aksa, it seemed like Rafa and Luque had no intention of letting go of their embrace any time soon. So others just say hello to Aksa or just pat her back as a greeting.

There is so much that people want to talk about with Aksa and Nata. They seem to be impatient to do so.

Lucia seemed to be slowly approaching. The girl seemed to be doubting the existence of Aksa and Nata in that place, right now.

"You're back?" ask Lucia lirih.

"Now you look as graceful as a real Queen, Your Majesty," Nata said as Lucia stood before her.

Not replying to Nata's words, Lucia again walked over and then hugged Nata's body just like that.

The shocked Nata was only able to fall silent. He did not dare to return Lucia's embrace.

Some of the new people looked very surprised their Queen hugged a man in a public place like now. As for those who have known Aksa and Nata for a long time, it seems touched to see Lucia hug Nata.

"You're back" said Lucia softly with a body that began to tremble slowly. "You're back" the girl repeated in a voice that also started to sound vibrating.

Lucia began to cry softly on Nata's chest. Although it was not clearly heard, but everyone could tell it only from the vibration of the girl's body. Lucia was crying out her emotions. The emotions he has been feeling for 5 years.

Jean, who was standing a little far behind Lucia, was only smiling as her eyes clashed with Nata.

Contrasting with Lucia who was crying softly, Rafa and Luque's cries seemed to be growing. Aksa was trying to make them stop crying.

"I think we should postpone this meeting" Orland said, breaking the mood.

"No need, Mr. Orland. You can continue the meeting, we'll wait until it's over." Nata soon chimed in. "I'm sorry, I interrupted this meeting. It's all because Aksa insisted he wanted to surprise everyone" he added.

"It is not surprising anymore with the behavior of the boy," said Jean sharply while staring cynically at Aksa.

"You must miss me a lot, don't you, Jean?" aksa replied with a dismissive smile still between the arms of Rafa and Luque who had now started to stop crying.

Lucia then withdrew and looked towards Nata seriously. As if asking for certainty in silence.

"Just calm down, Her Majesty, we're not going anywhere. We'll wait outside" Nata said later.

"really. Anyway I'd like to go around looking at your new palace, Luc... I mean, your Palace, the Queen," said Aksa who hastily used his own words.

"You're not going to leave without saying goodbye anymore, are you?" Rafa suddenly took off his embrace from Aksa and asked with a serious face.

"I might go without saying goodbye. Yesterday there was an explanation. Let Nata inform you after this," replied Aksa along with Luque who also took off her embrace.

"Why don't you join this meeting? Let's just explain what you want to explain." Dirk gave me advice.

"Home alone, Mr. Dirk. We will not understand what you are discussing. In fact, it would be a waste of time, because you all unconsciously will try to explain it to us," said Nata refused the advice of Dirk.

"Also wasting our time that we should be able to use to go around looking at this new Palace" Aksa added.

"Tell me if you just want to go around this place" said Jean again tightly.

"All right then. We'll talk again after this meeting is over" Lucia said later. "And the guards, ask the Chief Servant to take them around this place," he continued with an order to the guard soldiers who had taken Aksa and Nata's entourage into the meeting room.

"Ready, Your Majesty!" replied the soldier firmly and quickly.

"Well if you do, we'll excuse you first" Nata said before heading towards the exit.

"Snat? Aks?" call Lucia suddenly, when Nata and Aksa have opened the door to leave the room. "Welcome" said the girl again as Aksa and Nata turned to look at her.

"Yes, cheer! Your God Envoy has returned, "Aksa replied loudly before disappearing behind the door.

While Nata just smiled and nodded slightly replying to Lucia's words just now, while following Aksa disappeared behind the door to the corridor of the Main Hall.

-

A petite rabbit was seen with several Yllgarian Bats and a guard soldier entering the Main Hall, just as Aksa and Nata's entourage was together with a middle-aged man who was the Chief Servant of the place, who was the chief servant of the village, about to start their journey around Lucia's residence.

"Hi, how are you, Lily?" sapa Nata later, although Lily's figure was still far away across the room.

"You're back?" lily said after a moment of silence to make sure that what she saw was really Aksa and Nata.

"Do you not want to hug me, Lily? Don't you miss me like the others?" tanya Aksa interrupted.

"Welcome back, you two." Lily spoke without regard to Aksa's words.
