The Rhyme of the Depositary

147 - SEASON 2

This afternoon Rachel is sitting together, spending time with Maxen. They were having a light conversation with small, fun topics. Not far from them, Axel played with Helena. The kid just came over ten minutes ago to stay. She said she was more comfortable in this house with Rachel than having dinner with Alice and her two parents-in-law to celebrate the anniversary of the Violin wedding. Boring said. The winter did not make Axel enthusiastic in doing outdoor activities when the sun had long sunk. The boy did not like the cold at night.

Maxen grew increasingly accustomed to the presence of the boy. He was no longer surprised if he suddenly found Axel's whereabouts not far from his wife. For Maxen, as long as Rachel is happy, she doesn't have to ban her.

"I didn't think Alice's in-laws were so good. They did a great job of Axel. Really like to spoil the child. Axel was lucky enough to get a new family like them!" Jasmine commented smallly. He looked at Maxen who was busy observing Alice's son with his sharp eyes.

"Oh." That was the only answer Maxen gave. He did not seem to respond too much to his wife's words. Maxen's eyes looked slightly glaring, thinking about something stealthily.

Rachel who caught the reed of her husband could only smile resignedly. As Maxen's mind began to wander, Rachel's existence became faint and unnoticed. Sometimes Rachel gets upset on her own if it is responded to like this.

"You're thinking about something?" Rachel touched her husband's arm with a slight upset. Rachel's mouth pursed small, forming an expression of dislike.

"Sorry, Honey. I'm just remembering Alice's in-laws."

Maxen smiled warmly as a form of apology. He embraces his wife's shoulder and kisses Rachel's head affectionately. This was the woman who had managed to take her heart by a landslide. Maxen appreciates Rachel in every situation. Not infrequently he often succumbed in many ways for the sake of Rachel a. Love really blinded him.

"Oh, I forgot. You saw them yesterday afternoon, didn't you? What do you think of them?" ask Rachel later.

Rachel only remembered yesterday evening when she visited Alice's house, Maxen was the one who delivered her so that the man had met and met face to face with Alice's in-laws at a glance. The two parents welcomed Maxen quite well. Well, even though Violin seems a little cold in accepting Maxen. The woman holds a little grudge because Maxen had been an enemy of Alice some time ago.

"They? I don't really fit in with any of them" Maxen replied honestly. Maxen's eyes were busy staring at Axel who was still fun playing with Helena. This time the boy played swords with eek wood which was previously displayed on the wall as the main decoration. Somehow the boy could have taken the item. Helena must have been the one who had helped Maxen to retrieve it.

Axel is very active. Every time the boy came here, Maxen found many of his belongings to be victims of the child's liveliness. Maxen was actually willing to reprimand, but Rachel always defended him desperately. The results are easy to guess. Again Maxen chose to give up for Rachel. He certainly did not want to deliberately provoke a ruckus with his own wife.

Maxen is not afraid of Rachel. Not at all. Maxen just loves Rachel so much that she can never intentionally hurt and disappoint her feelings.

"Definitely Violin. You don't fit Klayver's mom. The woman did have a cold expression and was sometimes rude. Only certain people managed to get her heart.But behind her cold demeanor, Alice once said to me that Violin was actually quite kind and loyal in defending her family. Only the cover is rough."

Rachel conveyed what she had heard from Alice. Violin is a pretty good woman. It was evident he was willing to do anything to protect Alice from harm. Including being willing to fight Luiz Martinez though.

"Not Violin. Not that woman. But James, Violin's husband."

"Did? You mean, you don't fit in with that guy? That's right, Maxen. Who doesn't fit in with a super nice friendly guy like James. Compared to Violin, James is like an angel. Do you really not like a guy who's being friendly like that?" Rachel started laughing. She was completely inexhaustible if her husband would actually feel incompatible with James. The man who incidentally is a man of good character and never offended anyone.

"Yes. I don't really like super nice guys. James doesn't fit in so gently. She's like .. I don't know. I can't pin it down. The point is, I don't fit in with him." That's the only explanation Maxen can reveal. He doesn't like James very much. Maybe because he is a dominant man, so seeing a gentle man like that is like having the opposite attitude.

"Basar you are. Your dislike is completely for no reason. Maxen, you know Daniel, don't you? My other friend. I think he'll be married soon. I started thinking about giving her a special gift. You have any advice?" Rachel chose to shift the subject. He doesn't want to argue with Maxen. Discussing the topic of James will only make the two of them fight each other's mouths are unclear.

"Oh my God, honey. You're so good that all you think about are your friends. Where is my position at the moment? Does that mean I lost my place in your heart?" goda Maxen touching Rachel's arm. She looked at Rachel dislike as if she was showing total jealousy.

Slowly, Maxen grabbed his wife's body and held her in a warm embrace. He didn't let Rachel just walk free. The sides of his face Maxen ciumi many times. Rachel who was feeling intrigued could only laugh a little.

"Oh my God, stop it! Stop, Maxen. Aw. You're making it hard to breathe!" Rachel tried to escape from her husband's embrace. Being forcefully hugged and held in the chest of Maxen's wide field was indeed pleasant. But if too pressed just makes Rachel feel tight and difficult to breathe.

"How can you think of others and forget about me and our future children. Let's talk about our son. I don't want to talk about anything else. Do you think this baby will be born a boy or a girl?" Maxen instead touched Rachel's flat stomach. Inside there, behind this skin, there was a fetus that began to grow slowly. The fetus will call Maxen as Daddy.

"I've only been eight weeks pregnant and you've been asking about gender? Are you really impatient, huh?" Rachel's hand hit Maxen's arm a little hard. He pushed Maxen's hand away from his stomach.

"Can't really?" Maxen asked back. His eyes showed a warm joke. A joke that only came out for Rachel.

"Huh. You're this. This baby's only been in my womb for two months and see what you're doing, Maxen. You've bought this kid a bunch of beds and placed them in a room the size of a baseball player's room. Totally overrated." Rachel's head shook her head quickly, remembering about the special baby bed that Maxen bought after he found out about his wife's pregnancy.

Rachel actually doesn't like to overdo it. He prefers to live things as they are and is not wasteful spending money. Anyway, Rachel doesn't really like being extravagant. This child will be born, Rachel will teach many things. Act as is, one example.

"It's just a bed. We still need baby clothes, baby games, and baby tools. Oh don't forget the essential baby tools like body oils, shampoos, soaps, and perfumes." Maxen touched the end of his chin many times. Who knows there are things that are missed again about the needs of the baby.

Rachel shakes no fancy. He had expected Maxen to be so extravagant as long as it was about their baby. The previous loss of the fetus had been enough to wound Maxen. So inevitably Rachel's pregnancy this time was able to attract her spirit back.

"I've said it many times. Being overused is not good. The mental pity of our child if we overindulge him. I don't want our son to be a bad person in the company."

Maxen who realized Rachel's fear only returned it with a small smile. For Maxen, what he did was not excessive. What good is he looking for money and has a position if he can not indulge and give whatever he wants by the people he loves. That's his function. Being a person who can be happy and give whatever the will of his loved ones. For Maxen, it doesn't matter that Rachel and her son ask for anything as long as she can.

"Our son won't be a bad person just because I spoiled him. He will still grow well under your care. I'm sure you're the mother who can handle every problem our children have. You are a great woman too. With you, everything will still be fine. You don't have to worry about a lot of things." Maxen calms Rachel down over the woman's worries. She didn't want to be in her early pregnancy, Rachel was overwhelmed by unimportant thoughts.

"I know your intentions are good, Maxen. But in childcare, each process has its own procedures. It is also not good to give too much whatever the child wants. I want our children to appreciate what is called struggle and process. If our child is too pampered from the beginning, he will only be a person who is frail emotions and easily uncontrollable because of trivial things. You understand what I mean, don't you? " Rachel tried to explain to Maxen even more gently.

Rachel realizes Maxen grew up in a family situation unlike any family in general. He also has a dominant personality and sometimes has a cruel side. Rachel did not want her son to have bad sides of her husband. As much as possible, Rachel tried to make her child have a normal life, full of affection, full of warmth, and away from other negative things. Let Maxen's bad influence just be the man's past. In the future, Rachel hopes that everything will be fine.

Rachel is a woman who loves the comfort and stability of the psychic. He did not like the waves of problems that often hit people's lives. If she could choose, Rachel would prefer to have a life that watches but in a safe atmosphere rather than having a life that is turbulent but filled with danger. Hopefully from now on, Rachel, Maxen, and her son, will be able to live a comfortable day without unnecessary risks.

"Alright, Rachel. Whatever you want. As long as it makes you happy, I will try to fulfill it without protest. You know, seeing you smile and be happy is my mission right now. Now and forever, I promise this is what I will do as long as I can. You're what I've found in ways that aren't easy. Having you is a gift in itself. I definitely don't want to do something that will make you angry on purpose. For me, as long as you can smile, that's more than enough. "I meant to hug Rachel even tighter. There was no lie in his eyes. This man's eyes showed the truth of every word.

Rachel smiled warmly. This is the man he managed to have in his life. The man he loved in every way. For Maxen's sake, Rachel was willing to do anything.

"Thank you, sweetheart. You've always been the best for me."

"Yes. I will be the best and the only one for you. By the way, yesterday when I went to Alice's house, Anna, your sister called me."

Anna is Rachel's younger sister who is currently studying in another city. She has a special affinity with Rachel. The two of them were not just brother and sister, but also had a close relationship and high understanding of each other.

"Oh, is there a problem?" Rachel looked stiffened in a short time. His eyes showed new worries. Maxen who was by his side could only take a heavy breath. Actually, he refused to give this news. But inevitably it looks like Rachel has to find out as well.

"No. At least not for Anna. He told me a few days ago to meet Harry. The man came to Anna asking for money. She thought Anna had a lot of money from me so bravely Harry tried to ask her in person!"

Both Maxen's hands clenched not like. He was very upset with Harry. Although Harry is biologically his sister, but the man's previous actions managed to get Maxen and Rachel into trouble.

Supposedly, as Maxen's brother tried to punish Harry. But he was reluctant because he was still considering Harry's position as his sister. It was just that, long ago the man started acting out of control. How dare he go to Rachel and ask her for money. Something that the man should not have done.

"Harry? Meet Anna just to ask for money? How could that man not have such shamed veins? Can't he act like a manly man and come to us to apologize, instead of coming to my sister just to ask for money? Where is Harry's true self-esteem?!"

Anger was clearly implied from Rachel's face. Rachel has tried to forgive and forget Harry's actions. Harry dumped her on the eve of the wedding, and leaked information about Maxen to Klayver. Not stopping there, Harry even dared to come secretly to Rachel's sister. What is the man's mentality made of? He could be such a coward.

"That's what Harry's character is, Rachel.

It seems like we have to accept such realities."

"How many dollars did he try to drain Anna?" rachel asked still unable to control her anger. He is very upset with Harry at the moment.

"He asked for five hundred dollars. But only given two hundred by Rachel. It seems like Harry is currently really desperate. Rachel told me on the phone that Harry was like an undead. He looks so skinny and so different from Harry we know. Rachel also said Harry looked like an addict. Maybe the guy is starting to lose his way. He's getting out of control and stuck with a bad life."

Maxen recalls Anna's words saying Harry was like a rat coming out of a pile of trash. Rachel's sister was also able to get out harsh words as well.

"Goodoo. It means life has begun to teach Harry a lesson. He has to face life with more maturity. Life is not always straight. There are consequences to every action we take and inevitably we have to start accepting it!"

There was no mercy on Rachel's face. For Rachel, a coward like Harry doesn't deserve to be pitied. Harry must be left to live outside the protection of the family in order to learn many things. Who knows, one day if Harry decides to come back, he could be a better person. Rachel hopes Harry is wise enough to take the wisdom that life conveys.

"Huh. You really don't have any more compassion, yeah …." Maxen shook his head weakly, chuckling small. Although Maxen has a cruel side, but he still has a little bit of pity for people who are blood-bound with him.So bad Harry, after all he is still his sister as well.

"I wonder why Anna still gives him money." Rachel shrugged her shoulders, not understanding her sister's thoughts.

"He still has pity on Harry. Not like you."

"Just be clear. Because Harry didn't have any pity for me at all." Rachel's eyes gushed far away, remembering how Harry used to behave arbitrarily towards her.
