The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 36 Home

Shanum's phone kept ringing, he just stared at the phone without pressing the on button. His face was doubtful. Then the phone stopped ringing, the atmosphere went back to silence. Shanum was still glued staring at the phone screen while taking a breath. Not long after the phone went off, the girl pressed the off button and turned off the phone.

He clutched the phone tightly. His face looks cloudy. Shanum rubbed his cold shoulder against the night wind on the balcony. Yet he still remained unmoved there, fixated on the agitation raging in his mind. Shanum is still not ready to talk to Khan.

If anyone says that he is so stupid, for procrastinating on solving the problems between them. Yeah, he admitted it. Shanum was stupid for being scared. Afraid to hear about the man's matchmaking plan.

Shanum knew they must have split up. Although Nekhii's words contradict Khan's message earlier. Shanum could already guess it, she was not the woman destined for the man. All Nekhii sayings are just false predictions that cannot yet be accounted for.

Shanum finally went back into the room. He saw that his two friends were asleep. He climbed into the bed, turned off the sleeping lights, and laid himself on the bed. He hoped there would be no problems about their return later.

Shanum jerked awake. His head turned to the side. Diva was still there, and Farah's bed was empty. He exhaled, feeling relieved.

Shanum just had a dream. And that dream could complicate everything. In the dream he saw Sainta hugging Khan tightly somewhere he did not know. The difference in the background he saw was the present, drawn from the fashion style worn by both.

Shanum shook his head, he shouldn't care. That dream could not have happened. He also has doubtful dreams that he sees about the future or not. Because only one vision has been proven correct, the rest is still unclear.

Shanum remembered the nightmare he had experienced, about the figure hanging in the kitchen of Khan's mansion. Although he never saw his face, because after that the dream was cut off.

What does that dream mean? Who's hanging there? There was no way Khan, even though he saw a pair of men's shoes on the floor, close to the hanging figure. What does this have to do with his dream.

Shanum gulped. He felt his heart as if it had been snatched from within his chest. If that man was Khan, he couldn't think of how his life would be after that. He felt he could still accept the separation from the man except death.

Not to mention the Coloring problem that appears in the present. He should not feel hurt. Because the mess he made was his own work. He chose to stay away from the man. Yet for some reason when he saw Khan with Sintai in the dream, he could not accept it.

Shanum sat on the bench of the dressing table, staring at the reflection of his face on the mirror before him. He was trying to find the cold part of himself, so that he could get out of this whole mess in one piece. But instead of finding a cold picture there, what appeared in the mirror was the figure of a broken girl.

He straightened his shoulders and added one layer after another of encouraging words. He must be strong. No more tears. No more trust. No more mistakes. As for love, it takes time to fade.

The sound of a knock at the front door interrupts the silence. Farah answered and let in whoever was knocking on the door. The girl had finished her bath and was wearing her clothes.

Farah pulled him out of her thoughts after the girl opened the front door. Shanum got up from his seat and peeked out of the room door. He finds Farah talking to a man.

A sender, with a flower, stood with a smile. "Special delivery" he said, holding the bouquet into Farah's arm.

Farah seemed to grin, the girl could already guess who the sender of the bouquet was. The sender of the flower immediately went from the front door, when the bouquet he delivered was received. "Who sent you?" Shanum asked.

"Who else if not Khan Adrian" guess Farah. "May I make sure?" Farah held a greeting card in the bouquet. Shanum was unsure which clear words would be able to come out of his lips. "Yes." Yeah." He was only able to say that one word to Farah.

Farah opened her card. "That's fine, I'm not wrong, this is from the man." Farah walked into the room and put the bouquet on the table. Flowers are beautiful. Similar to the one Khan sent the first time in the mansion.

"I can't do this anymore" whispered Shanum's heart. He bit his lips. Then take the card from among the flowers with a stiff movement. And he enjoyed his fragrance during the time it took to get to the balcony. Once there, she came out and dropped the flower on the balcony floor. Farah looked gaping looking at the girl's actions.

Then Shanum went back into the room. Farah clucked, but said nothing. Although throwing away a very beautiful flower made Shanum sad, but tore off the message paper that finished him off.

He went into the room and opened the lid of the trash can near the door, then threw the paper into it without reading it. "I'm sorry" he whispered to himself.

"The writing on the card is the same as the writing on the first bouquet. And I just want to say, the writing on it is a cliche. It only takes a short time to fall in love, but it almost always forgives the hurt." Farah sniffed her shoulder. Shanum immediately looked at the trash can with a stunned look, then he immediately regained his senses and kicked it.

"Hey, what's wrong with that dumpster. Why did you kick him?" farah protest. "What the hell is that? You guys are so noisy." Diva said as she spread her hands and rubbed her eyes. Shanum bit his lip then galloped out towards the balcony again.

Diva frowned. "What's wrong with Shanum?" ask Farah who is standing in front of the door. Farah shook her head. "Maybe he's getting his monthly guests" Farah replied as she was. The diva wakes up from the bed. He approached Farah, occasionally looking up at the balcony. "I'm getting confused. Try to tell me the truth, dong."

"I'm confused too" replied Farah. Diva pinched Farah's shoulder. "It wasn't you who was here. Time doesn't know. Let's say, don't pretend to be stupid." Diva squinted her eyes.

"Issh, okay I'm telling you." Farah rubbed her shoulders while grumbling. He then told Diva about the arrival of the flower bouquet until Shanum's response to him.

"You're sure that's what Khan wrote?" Farah nodded. "What does that guy mean? If those words were innuendo, it was natural for Shanum to feel annoyed." Diva tapped her lips with her index finger, seemingly thinking.

"If I don't think he's insinuating. The man was stiff, but not stupid. If he wants to make Shanum forgive him, why would he make him even more angry" Farah said.

"Em, that's right. Maybe meaning..." Diva turned her head and looked at Farah with a shocked expression. "What ?" ask Farah curiously. "You don't understand. Usually I'm here the most l**emot." Farah snorted, indirectly the Diva insinuated it.

"Jeez, just don't know. Khan meant that it took him a short time to fall in love with Shanum, and when the man made the mistake Shanum did not forgive him. So he's sorry." Diva explained with a smile.

Farah's face looked bright. "Betul also yes. Wow you're smart too. Then I'll take this to Shanum." Diva pulled Farah's shirt. "Eits.wait a minute. Just leave him alone first. I think he needs time to examine it."

Farah exhaled her breath. "Okay, then I want to listen to music first from my phone" Farah said. The girl walked towards the bed while previously picking up a cell phone at the dressing table. "Yes, I'm gonna take a shower, too." The diva rushed straight to the bathroom.

"Where's diva?" Shanum patted Farah on the shoulder. The girl turned her head and took off the earphones in her ear. "Yes?" ask Farah. "Where's diva?" ask Shanum again. "Oo, he's in the bathroom." Farah pointed to the bathroom. Shanum looked in the direction Farah pointed out and saw a Diva emerge from behind the bathroom door.

Diva smiled looking at Shanum's gaze directed at her. "You want to use the bathroom, Sha?" Shanum nodded his head then headed towards the Diva. "After the shower, there's something I want to talk to you both about." Diva and Farah looked at each other in silence. Shanum did not wait for their answer, he went straight into the bathroom.

As Shanum finished bathing, he heard the sound of conversation in the sitting room. He peeked out from behind the bedroom door and found Ula talking while laughing with her two best friends. The man's face looked better. Although there was still a slight faint wound on his temple.

"Hi Ula, how are you this morning?" shanum asked with a sweet smile. "I'm good." Ula looks nervous. And it was clearly seen by the three girls. Shanum's eyebrows curve upward. "What's up Ula?" tanyakanya. Ula took a breath and rubbed her face. Now he looked calmer and looked at Shanum very deeply. Shanum became agitatedly stared at that deep. He swallowed his saliva.

"Em, sorry if I was presumptuous." There's pause. Then Ula looked back at Shanum and cleared her throat. "May I know since when do you have that sign on your palm?" Shanum frowned. "Why do you want to know?" askalanya.

Ula then got up from her seat. He came to the window in the sitting room. Putting his palms into his pants pocket, he said, "I'm looking for someone who has the same mark as yours." Shanum. "You mean Colourize?" Ula. "How did you know?"

"You called me by the woman's name on the embankment" Shanum replied. "Ah, yes, that moment." Then back to the couch. He approached Shanum and pulled the girl's hand. Shanum. "Please Shanum. You have the same mark as my sister." Ula clasped Shanum's hand tightly. The girl was stunned.

"So soon, so the woman who always appears in Shanum's nightmares is your family?" ask Diva not to believe it. "Yes, it seems like the world is very narrow" Farah said. Ula frowned. "You dreamt of my sister, Shanum?" Ula let go of her hand. He ruffled his hair.

The girl then told her all her dreams about Sintai. Including his last dream. "I don't understand. If Sintai is alive, who are you? You have the same birthmark as him. Do you have the power to see the future? Because Sintai was a great forecaster of his time."

Shanum took a sip of his saliva and Ula stared flabbergastedly at him. "You have it, right?" The girl nodded her head. Then a knock on the door cut the tension that was going on in the room. The diva walked towards the door and opened it. He was stunned to see the figure behind the door.

"Who, Diva?" ask Shanum. The girl could not answer. His voice was stuck in his throat. Sergei stared gently at the Diva. "Hi Luna's. I miss you." Hearing Sergei's sweet words, Diva regained her senses. He snorted and was about to close the door in front of the man's face.

Sergei directly held the door leaf so as not to close. "Let me in. I need to talk to you guys. It's about your return."

"Let him in, Diva." The curious Shanum finally approached the door. Diva gawked, then stomped her feet. The girl stepped towards the sofa and sat back down.

Sergei walked into the sitting room with a sweet smile. He greeted everyone, and became acquainted with Ula. "So what do you want to say?" ask Shanum.

"Look Sha, I offered to take you back home to your country." Shanum squinted his eyes. He was suspicious of the man's intentions. "How do you know we're worried about our return?" tanyakanya.

"I'm a well-known tracker know. So no one was missed for me. And I'm always monitoring your situation."

"You mean spying so," Farah quipped while sneering. Sergei blew his napad. "Listen. I'm sorry if you're uncomfortable with my behavior. But honestly, I'm doing this just to keep my Lunaku." Diva immediately jumped from her seat and galloped towards Sergei.

"Stop. Don't ever think of me as Luna or anyone who means anything to you." Diva looked angrily speaking in front of Sergei. He pointed at the man. The man looked sad, yet he immediately covered up his sadness. His face now looked coldly unreadable.

"OK, if that's what you want." Sergei nodded. "So now you are willing to accept my help or not. If not, I don't mind. It all depends on you." Sergei looked at Shanum's face. "And just information, Khan has been on alert to guard all airports, bus terminals to ports. All points are guarded by him. Even your movements at this hotel are monitored. Then it will be difficult for you to return to your country."

"What do you offer?" ask Shanum. Sergei laughed softly. "Easy, the important thing is you just have to trust me." Shanum looked at his two best friends. "If I'm going to follow Shanum's decision" Farah said. "Me too" timpal Diva.

Shanum looked back at Sergei. He tried to look for signs that were not quite right from the man. He looked into his eyes, and found nothing bad. His eyes showed great strength to help. As a result, Shanum nodded his head.

"All right, I agree. Please tell me what your plan is?" Sergei smiled smirk then stretched out his palm. Shanum looked at the hand then smiled faintly, he returned the man's helping hand. They shake hands tightly.

Sergei planned they should leave that night as well. Because night watch is looser than morning or afternoon. Sergei had arranged their belongings in transport first by using a box of goods waiting in a special place in and out of goods for hotel purposes.

While they came out not through the lobby, but went up to the hotel rooftop. They're going out through the air. And here they are now. At the top of the hotel. He stared at the big eagle before them. "Gosh, I never knew there was a Garuda embodiment here. I wanted to count the feathers on her neck, were there really forty-five strands" said the fascinated Diva.

Farah rolled her eyeballs and patted her forehead. Shanum looked amusedly smiling. "That Eagle is not a Garuda" Farah said. "You want to wipe it, Luna?" ask Sergei gently. "Hello. instead we have to leave immediately." Farah reminded the man while pointing at her watch.

"In the meantime, we need to get acquainted first. This is Arra and that's Arro's partner there. They're magic eagles, and they're gonna take us all the way to my plane hangar unseen."

Farah whistled in admiration. "Let's go up soon, I'm already impatient," Farah said. "Yes, I'm going up too." Diva chimed in Farah's words enthusiastically. "We're both riding Arra, Luna. And Shanum with Farah riding Arro."

"I don't want to be with you." Diva looked pouted while glaring. "Once, just go up. We don't have to argue unnecessary things. Not going home." Farah poking Diva. Then Shanum turned and whispered to Diva.

Diva's face froze, but then she nodded her head. Farah seemed to frown, but did not comment anything. "So how, Ladies?" ask Sergei. "Let's go up, right away" Shanum asked. Then they went up to Arra and Arro's back according to Sergei's division.

"I feel like I'm in heaven, please pinch me" Diva said. Shanum shook his head as he walked ahead of him into the main cabin of Sergei's private jet. "You asked Sergei to pinch you. He must be very happy" Farah said. "He hugged me tight, so he won a lot." Diva rolled her eyeballs and then moved after Shanum.

Farah paused for a moment to hit Diva's shoulder with a laugh, then glanced at the extraordinarily luxurious interior of the plane and felt astonished. Farah had never seen the contents of a private plane in her life, so this plane was amazing. As for the Diva, her face was increasingly fascinated.

The cabin is spacious, with a wide hallway in the middle. The colors are neutral, reinforced with dark brown and light blue. Comfortable swivel chairs and tables are placed on the left, while a sofa is placed on the right.

Each seat has entertainment equipment on the side. Shanum knew there was a bedroom at the back of the plane and a luxurious bathroom for two.

A cabin crew took the backpack from his third hand, then gestured for them to sit on one of a series of chairs that had a table. "The plane will take off in ten minutes" he said. "In the meantime, do you want me to get you a drink?"

"White water for me." Shanum glanced at his watch. It was only twelve o'clock a little pass. "Coffee, then" said Farah, "if you have." The cabin crew smiled. "We have everything." "If I were white water too." Diva smiled at the cabin crew.

"Sstt, Diva, if you don't want to be with Sergei, just for me" whispered Farah. Diva's eyes are pouting, she's pouting. "Basic Matre, it's delicious. She's mine."

"Then you can't take it off. He's very rich. Forget about that one yesterday. I see he still wants you." Farah smiled smirk at Diva while moving happily on the soft stool she was sitting on.

Shanum chuckled amusedly at the behavior of his two best friends. "You guys yeah, now suddenly get along talking about Sergei." Diva smiled shyly while Farah looked to shrug her shoulders.

Shanum then observes the Diva removing her airsickness medicine from her pocket and swallowing the pill with the help of water. "You?" he asked while tapping the medicine packet on the table. "No. Thank you." Thank you."

"Would you like to have dinner before you rest?" ask Farah.

"Not sure. I'll probably read" Shanum said. "If I'm going to sleep, air travel often makes me nauseous."

Shanum and Farah nodded. "Maybe it's better that I eat" murmured Farah.

Thirty minutes later, Diva snores softly in her lowered chair, her ears covered in headphones. Shanum observed it for a long time, enjoying the sight of himself looking calm and relaxed, the smooth curves around his mouth softened in sleep.

Shanum smiled, they finally returned home. "He's sleeping?" Sergei looked at Diva softly. "Yes, Diva is often airsick." Sergei frowned while correcting the location of the Diva blanket. The man rubbed the girl's cheek. "So on Arra's ride he looked fine." "Maybe because you were there. So his airsickness disappeared," ledek Shanum. Sergei smiled sumringah.

"Are you going back to Astrakhan after delivering us." Shanum took the water and gulped it down. "I don't know." Sergei pulls Diva's hand and kisses her. Shanum was pensive, seeing Sergei's treatment of the Diva his heart felt tight. He remembered Khan. Shanum exhaled.

"Shanum, I didn't mean to interfere. But please think carefully, that man is not messing with you. Although sometimes the way we guys are wrong in making decisions. But all the chaos that would arise never crossed our minds. Especially if we have to hurt someone who means a lot to us." Sergei smiled, then he started to look down and would scoop up the Diva's body. Sergei lifted Diva into his arms so easily.

"I'll take him to the room in the back. If you and Farah want to take a break, just put it on." The man arranged the Diva's body in his carrier. "Thank you, Sergei. For everything" Shanum said. Sergei nodded, he started to step towards the room on the back side of the plane, while carrying the Diva in his arms.
