The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan
Chapter 22 The Difficult Choice
Sergei could not believe he saw a Great Khan from the cold-faced Altan Clan, and never smiling could turn out to be more human. Even though he knew that man was certainly not a complete human being. When he finished driving Diva to the cashier to pay for shoes, he saw the man whispering together while smiling with the girl named Shanum. Sergei was curious about the relationship of the two.
"Sergei, where are you going from here?" Diva's question made Sergei aware of her observation of Khan Adrian. The man stopped stepping. "I don't have any plans, Luna. Can I take you somewhere?" "Eem. I can't make a decision yet, Sergei. Because I came here with my best friend and Khan. I have to give them permission" replied the Diva. Sergei exhaled, he was still not satisfied spending time with the girl.
"I'll talk to them soon." Suddenly Sergei got a brilliant idea. This is his chance to get into the residence of Khan Adrian. So that he can search for the traces of the man who burned the Stone. "Just a second, Luna." Sergei pulls Diva's hand before the girl moves towards Khan and his companions.
"What's up Sergei?" ask Diva wonder. Sergei smiled sweetly at Diva and said, "I'm sorry, I just remembered there was still another appointment after this. So, I can't take you away right now." Diva's face looked disappointed to hear Sergei's words. But he tried to cover it up.
"Well, if you can't. Maybe next time." Sergei can read the disappointed Diva. And the man was very happy. Diva also wants to be with him longer. "But..." Sergei rubbed Diva's hand. "Tomorrow I have free time. What if I come to your place?" Sergei did not reveal that he already knew where Diva lived. Diva's face turned bright, but then she bit her lip, the girl was gloomy.
He was currently hitching a ride at Khan's mansion, and he did not know whether or not to receive guests at the residence. Just this time the Diva felt an attachment to a man. He usually just enjoys admiring it.
For some reason with Sergei he felt there was a connection that he could not explain with logic. Diva herself was confused by her feelings for the man. Diva should be scared, because she doesn't know Sergei very well. But instead of keeping a distance from Sergei, Diva felt like being close to him.
"Hm... Sergei. If you really want to come to my place of residence, I can't answer now whether I can or not. Because I'm living in someone else's house, not my own. I have to have the same permission that has a house first yes, you may or may not come to see you," explained Diva.
"Oh well, then can I have your phone number? Let me know later, where we can meet. If the owner of the house does not accept guests." Sergei tried to keep smiling, although he was a bit disappointed he could not immediately get certainty from the Diva. It should be a step away that he can get into the place he is after, and be able to complete his task immediately.
"Okay, this is my number." Diva gave Sergei her mobile number. Then they say goodbye to each other. The man stepped in a different direction to the Diva. The girl came to the place of her best friends and Khan.
"Hey, it's been a long time to the cashier. You are not directly here even busy making out with the man there," murmured Farah. "Whoever made a joke, I just talked to him for a while. The man asked for my phone number" Diva explained. "Keep you loving?" ask Farah. "Yes, yes, I love you." Diva answered while grimacing.
"It's this girl, it's so easy anyway" said Farah. Diva gasped, her face looking angry. "Heh.if you speak the truth. Who is so cute?! Just accusing people." Diva's face flushed red, she was offended by Farah's words.
Shanum who saw that immediately tried to divorce them. He didn't want them to make a fuss in a public place. But before Shanum said anything Khan pulled his hand, and rubbed the girl's cheek. Khan whispered in Shanum's ear, "Let me clear this up." Shanum smiled and nodded his head.
"Ladies, we'd better get back. I still have other business. While Diva and Farah, please cool your heads. We can finish it later, not here. I don't like to see my lover sad to see you guys fighting" Khan said in a stern voice. The two girls who were struggling looked shocked to hear the clear words from Khan.
The two stared at each other, then they glared at each other throwing their faces away. The diva moved following Dario, who was walking at the very front. And Farah retreated to the back row beside one of Khan's other bodyguards. Shanum who saw the behavior of his two best friends just shook his head.
Reversing his body, Sergei jerked at the door, looking a beautiful woman waiting in the hallway with grim patience. "Your Majesty, did I bring news?" report Sergei. The man resisted the urge to move away from the beautiful woman who was looking at him with a piercing look. Gosh darn. He seemed capable enough to eliminate it right then and there.
"How did it go, handsome? It seems I've picked the wrong tracker. It seems like the title of the best is not in accordance with reality." Sergei's trembling knees stiffened. She had been underestimated, this woman before her doubted her title as the best in the world of hunting and tracking. The beautiful woman was lucky Sergei had no desire to cancel this task, as it was related to his good name that would be tarnished if it broke the contract.
Sensing Sergei's irritated gaze, the woman looked at him suspiciously. "Why are you upset? It should be here that I'm furious, because you're not good at doing the job I'm ordering." Sergei seemed to be holding back his patience. He then smiled thinly.
"You take it easy, Queen. I've started to find signs of people burning the Stone." "Thank you?" "Yes, Your Majesty. The man was inside the residence of Khan Adrian. He's hiding there."
Chinua frowned. "Khan Adrian, leader of the Altan Clan?" Sergei nodded his head. Chinua began to move back and forth in the room. The woman seemed to think hard. "Do you know who that person is?" ask Chinua. "Yet. I was trying to get close to one of the girls who lived there. And ask to meet at the residence." "Is the girl ready?" "Emm..yet, Your Majesty."
"Certainly why are you still here? Why not try to seduce the girl back. With a face and a look like you it should be easy to charm that girl." "You don't have to doubt me, Queen. I haven't lost my ability yet" Sergei replied flatly, his body shrouded in anger.
"Go, I don't want any failures, handsome." Chinua did not care about the man's anger, and drove Sergei away from the room. Sergei then rushed away from there, cursing the annoying woman in his heart.
Meanwhile at the mansion of Khan Adrian, Diva looks restless standing in front of Khan's workroom. He planned to ask if Sergei could visit the mansion. The man called him and urged him again about his planned arrival at the mansion.
"What are you doing there, Diva?" Khan stood at the door with a look of astonishment. The man was about to get out of his study, and go to the riding field. But his steps were blocked by the girl who was daydreaming standing in front of the door of his study.
"Emm. I want to talk to you, sir. Do you have time?" ask Diva nervously. Khan frowned, the man's face stiffened. Eventually, the man invited her into his study. "So what do you want to talk about?" tanyakanya.
"Well, I..." Diva swallowed her saliva. Diva doesn't know how to say it, especially after she sees Khan getting cold looking at her. "Look, I want to ask permission to meet Sergei here. Can I?" Diva said those words doubtfully.
Khan seemed to think for a moment. He was silent while weighing in his heart. If he refused, he would not be willing to get into a dispute with Shanum. But if he allows it, there's a risk he'll have to take. Especially if the man endangers them all.
"Is there anything else you need, Diva?" tanyakanya. "No, Sir. And thank you." Diva smiled warmly to Khan. The man simply nodded his head and smiled faintly then walked out of the room.
Diva immediately conveyed this kind thing to Sergei. And Sergei welcomed Khan's decision. The man said he would come by late afternoon. The diva does not need to prepare anything troublesome. Sergei just wanted to have a conversation with the girl. Diva smiled as she closed the conversation on her phone with Sergei. He was happy to see that man again.
"Why are you smiling cheerfully, Diva. There is happy news. May I know?" ask Shanum. The shocked diva saw Shanum suddenly appear in her room. "Ah no, I'm just glad Sergei will come here this afternoon" he replied with a shy smile. Shanum smiled in response to the girl's words.
"I'm sorry I knocked on the door, but since there was no answer I tried to open it. And it wasn't in the lock, so I went in. I want to return the facial moisturizer I borrowed yesterday." "It's okay, Sha. You can freely enter my room. Besides, this room is not mine either" Diva replied as she picked up a bottle of facial moisturizer that Shanum offered.
"Sha, are you in love with Khan?" Shanum was fixated on hearing a sudden question from the Diva. He sighed and sat down beside the girl. "I don't know," Shanum replied quietly. "If the feeling of wanting to be always close to him, being happy to be with him, and always thinking about him all the time are signs of love. Means, yes, I'm already in love with her," Shanum added honestly.
"Why are you asking that?" ask her again to Diva. The girl looked pensive. Then he smiled at Shanum. "It seems like I'm also interested in someone, Sha," he replied. "You sure are Diva. It's not just fascinated. As usual," Shanum said as he chuckled amusedly.
The diva pouted hearing Shanum's words. "No Sha, I'm sure. I've never felt anything like this. I feel like there's something in this guy that makes me want to get to know him better. I feel like I ride the Roaller Coaster every time I interact with it" Diva said seriously.
Shanum was stunned to hear the Diva's words. Gosh darn. Why would a Diva feel the same way about her? If it is so, it means that the girl is no longer wrong. "Is it Sergei?" ask Shanum. Diva smiled faintly and nodded her head. "I also don't know why I can be attracted to a man who's not like the man of my dreams."
Shanum's eyebrows curved to hear him. "Yes, that man of my dreams should be like your man, Sha. Your priest is like Kim Soo Hyun." "Who is Kim Soo Hyun?" tanya Shanum frowned.
"God. You don't know who Kim Soo Hyun is?" Shanum shook his head. Diva patted her forehead. "The man is a famous actor in Korea, Sha. His face was very similar to Khan Adrian." "Times..." Shanum looked in disbelief.
Diva grabs her phone and searches for Kim Soo Hyun's face in one of the search apps. Then show it to Shanum. The girl saw the picture on Diva's phone and she was shocked. That face is similar to Khan. Even though their eyes are different. Khan has a golden brown netra.
"Like it, Sha. It's hard, you don't like Korean dramas. Okay, back to my taste. Look at it so it's easy, actually my taste is the face of Oppa not Bule," explained Diva. "Ooo.. I see," said Shanum. Diva rolled her eyeballs looking at Shanum's reaction. This one friend is sometimes too straight and serious. "Issh..kok just so the reaction," protested Diva.
"Well, how should I go?" Shanum chuckles amusedly. "Sergei is also handsome. His face is like an angel. There is also a mix of Asian. Although the color of his hair and eyes is typical of Europe anyway," Shanum added. "Yes yes, his face is like a mix, not purely European." Diva seemed to remember the look of Sergei's face.
"Well, so even if it doesn't suit the man of your dreams, at least he's approaching." Diva smiled amusedly at Shanum's words. "It could be you, Sha." "By the way, did Sergei reveal his heart to you?" ask Shanum. "Not yet, I just saw it from her. Wh why? I'm too confident huh, sure the man will like me," Diva commented with a laugh.
"No, I just don't want you to be disappointed if it turns out that guy isn't serious." Shanum looked at Diva with a smile. The diva put her hands on her stomach. "I know, Sha. I just want to try to follow my heart." Shanum got up from his seat beside the Diva.
"All right, I'll stay first. Want to learn how to ride horses with Khan" he said. "Duh, who's in love. I'd like to see you again," ledek Diva. Shanum just smiled faintly answering the Diva's tease. He opened the door and exited the room.
Sergei was trying to decide what he should do when he came to see the Diva. Ever since Diva informed her that Sergei was allowed to come to the residence of Khan Adrian, she became restless. Part of him is afraid if he finds the fact that the person he is looking for has a connection with the Diva.
The other part of him was afraid of being abandoned by the girl. Sergei did not understand why from the very beginning he met his Luna, he was already captivated. What's he supposed to do? He hoped it wasn't the girl or her friends the man Chinua was looking for. If the reality was like his worry of course Sergei would feel a dilemma.
Sergei was brought into a room with a dominating blue color. Until the furniture in it was blue, the same color as the eye's own. Sergei frowned when he saw that the one who came to the room was Shanum, not Diva. "Where is Luna?" Shanum smiled as he closed the door. "Diva is getting ready. Please be patient. And how are you, Sergei?" Shanum extended his hand.
Sergei fell silent, he looked around the room. Shanum then broke up. "You take it easy, Khan is in his office. So you're safe." Shanum spoke while patting Sergei on the shoulder. The man then froze, in his head appeared various flashes of events that made him shocked. Sergei looked at Shanum sharply.
Sergei can see it, the one who killed Batu is Shanum. "Sergei?" Shanum. "Are you okay?" Sergei squinted his eyes. "Sergei," called Shanum once more. The man then regained his senses, he rubbed his face. Sergei smiled stiffly at Shanum. "Well, I'm fine."
Suddenly the sound of a door opening behind them. Both looking. Sergei was glued, he was stunned. Her luna was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. It still is. His long, curly black hair swept across his porcelain face.
She wore a long pink dress that waved around her body as she walked. His entire instincts awakened as he looked at the Diva. The feeling is primitive. Demanding. Sustained. And that feeling is not listening to common sense.
Out of his will, Sergei finds himself walking towards the Diva. Sergei gulped his saliva, his voice choked when he wanted to call the girl's name. "Hi, Sergei. Sorry, I made you wait." Sergei closed his eyes while permeating the voice of Diva who has a distinctive rhythmic speaking style.
The voice touched him deeply, making his entire body burn. Raising his hand, Sergei handed over the Baby Breath flower that he had held since.
The glued diva stared at the white flower. The Hand Bouquet was full with only one type of flower. This flower that has the meaning of sincerity and eternal love makes the Diva tremble. In his entire life, he had never gotten a flower that had such deep meaning. "Hi Luna, you look so beautiful. I am at a loss for words to greet you" Sergei whispered in Diva's ear.
