The Woman Ruler of the Altan Clan

Chapter 43 The Secret Admirer

When Shanum woke up this morning, he was lying in bed with his mother nearby, his face showing relief, while his mind was filled with anxiety.

"Mother, what are you doing here?" Shanum frowned.

"Morning, dear," he said, smiling as he moved to fetch a glass of water from the table beside the bed. "In drink first the water." She handed the glass to Shanum.

With a confused face, the girl took the glass, and drank the contents up to the toilet.

"How are you feeling, son?" tanyakanya.

"I'm fine, Mother. But... I haven't answered Shanum's question yet."

Mom smiled and breathed. Just when Mom opened her mouth, Dad cut her off, "Let me answer, Mom."

Suddenly he appeared in the room carrying a tray filled with food. He placed the tray on the corner table of the room.

"Wake up, Princess." Dad came closer to the bed and sat in front of Shanum.

"Brush your teeth first yes, keep breakfast. I've made you toast, omelet and milk."

Shanum blushed his lips. "Coh, I'm pouting. I'll explain while you eat." Dad pulled Shanum's hand and patted him gently.

"Em, yes. But promise yes, you can't break a promise" said the girl. "Yes. Go to the bathroom!"

Shanum immediately got up from his bed. "Hey, slow down, kid. You will fall" said Mother, shaking her head.

"Sorry Mom, but Shanum is curious. So I'm gonna hear Dad's explanation." The girl rushed to the bathroom.

Suddenly there was a sound of something falling from the bathroom. Dad ran straight to the bathroom door. Followed by an anxious looking mother.

I knocked on the door and shouted. "Princess, what's that noise? You're okay, right?" ask Dad. The door then opens. Shanum looked grimacing as he rubbed his buttocks.

"What's going on, son? ask Mother.

"That's it, Shanum slipped and fell, Mom."

"Oh my God, so don't run around in the room. Especially in the bathroom," said Mother while exhaling her breath.

"Are you okay, Princess?" I looked over his daughter's body. "Shanum is okay. Just a little shock and a little pain."

"Yes, continued the toothbrush, and be careful. Don't fall again" said Father.

Shanum closed the bathroom door. I was sitting on a chair near the corner table. Dad took toast and a cup of coffee. "Mother, come here and have breakfast. Dad made a lot of toast.

I'm making Shanum's bed. "Yes, Dad, later. Just make Dad and Shanum. Mom'll have breakfast."

Before long, the bathroom door opened. Mom and Dad turned to Shanum. The girl approached the father and sat down beside him.

"Shanum is ready to listen to this, Father." He plucked a piece of toast from the plate and started putting it in his mouth.

"That night you were crying while saying someone's name. Which makes Mom and Dad panic, you scream and cry too."

"And you were lifted up from the bed, from all over your body came a golden light" Mother continued.

"Failure, Father and Mother don't dare to approach you" said Father anxiously.

"What are you dreaming about, son?" ask Mother.

Shanum froze. He shook his head. "Shanum doesn't remember, Mother-Dad."

Mom and Dad looked at each other. "Typically Shanum remembered that there was a dream coming. But why not now?" he said with a clean sliver.

"You scared us, son. We were like seeing one of the scenes of a horror movie" Dad said with an amused chuckle.

"Daddy was scared but laughed." Shanum grunts.

"Dad laughed at himself and also the expression of your mother, Princess."

"What happened?" ask Shanum.

"At that time Dad's stomach until heartburn was so afraid of him. And your mother's expression was funny, she was glaring, her mouth gaping, banging Dad."

"That's a shocked expression, Dad. So reasonable dong." Mom rolled her eyeballs. Shanum covered his mouth with a hand, he tried to hold back his laughter.

"Father was the same, face deathly pale, his mouth was also gaping wide. Keep pushing Dad forward so Dad approached Shanum kok even so keep retreating. At the end of the day, Mom's hand was pulled." Mom smiled amusedly as she folded the blanket over the bed.

"Huahaha..." Shanum could no longer hold back, he laughed out loud. Mom stopped her activities folding. He looked towards his daughter. Then come chuckle amusedly. While the father's face reddened withstanding shame.

Shanum poked his father and brought his face closer to the front. "There's no shame in Dad. It's only natural that Mom and Dad are scared. Shanum was even grateful that you guys remained by Shanum's side, not then ran away in droves."

"Em, actually Dad used to think so anyway," he admitted while grinning.

"Oo, so Dad pulled Mom's hand to ask her to run away, I see. Keep letting his daughter just scream." Mom is tracking her waist while glaring at dad.

"That's a reflex reaction, ma'am. But I didn't do it. I also cannot possibly leave our daughter to suffer so," the father argued.

Mother threw herself on the bed grumbling. Dad was frozen still.

"Mom-Dad, don't fight dong. Now Shanum is okay. Sorry, because Shanum you guys are in trouble," Shanum said slowly. His face was saddened to see the reaction of his mother and father.

Mother sighed hearing Shanum's words, she looked at Dad. "All right, I'm sorry, Dad." Mom approached me and kissed the back of her hand. Dad stood up, then grabbed Mom, he kissed Mom on the forehead.

Shanum's eyes glazed over seeing the friendly attitude of the two. He remembered Khan again. Oh, my God, until when will he be tormented like this.

"Oh yes, Mother-Father, Shanum said calling someone's name. Did you hear his name?" shanum asked curiously. He took the toast from the plate.

I looked up, then looked at my mother. Then Dad snorted, his lips sneered, "Who else, yes that guy named Khan. Looks like you missed that guy," said Dad looking annoyed.

Shanum. His face was hot. He held both of his cheeks while looking down. "Dad, his son was ashamed of it" said the mother.

I approached Shanum. He sat next to Shanum. The girl still lowered her head while covering her face with both of her palms.

"Son, hey... Mom, I understand. Mother's child has begun to mature, so it's natural to start being interested in the opposite sex. No need to be ashamed." I rubbed the girl's hair with my love.

Shanum lowered his hand, he raised his face. "Stay Shanum is embarrassed and also upset, Mom. Why does Shanum still remember that guy?"

"Son, matters of the heart are hard enough to forget. Mother's message to Shanum, don't be so vindictive, honey. You must learn to forgive sincerely. Maybe by forgiving her, you'll be able to let go and move on with your life."

Shanum nodded. "Yes, Mom. Shanum will learn to forgive him." Shanum hugged his mother tightly. He felt very lucky to have parents like them. Which is so understanding and loving.

Shanum. "Shanum doesn't know either, Dad, and only this time it happened." The girl was confused, not usually she could not remember her dreams. Is this an impending premonition, if the man is in danger. Oh no, he doesn't want anything to happen to that guy. He was determined to contact Sergei and have the man find out about Khan's circumstances, and asked the man to be careful.

Looking at Shanum's murky face, the father said, "Yes already, don't think about it. Now I have to get ready for the office. You're going to college today, Princess?"

"Yes, Dad" he answered.

"Then you must also prepare, son," said Mother.

"We lived first. Are you really okay?" Mom looked at Shanum curiously.

"Yes, Mom. Trust me, Shanum's fine."

"okay." Mother and father looked at their beloved daughter gently. Dad wanted to take the tray from the breakfast, but it was prevented by mom. "Let's just take her, Dad." Dad nodded. Then they both came out of Shanum's room.

After that Shanum was getting ready to change clothes, he had guidance today. While busy struggling with powder, and lip moisturizer, he heard the sound of his phone ringing.

Shanum frowned, he saw on his phone screen an unknown number calling him. Who yeah? Don't be raised afraid it's important.

Curious, Shanum finally picked him up. "Hello..." Silent... The girl nodded. Still no voice answered. He only had time to hear the sound of breath as he said the word Hello, at the beginning. "Hello, who is this?" There was still no voice on the caller's side.

Shanum snorted, then turned off the call. Just let him be impolite, his own caller behaved like that as well. Foolish, calling people doesn't say anything. Shanum put his phone in the bag, then went back to getting ready with a frown.

***

After guidance, Shanum promises with his two best friends to meet at the college park. He waved his hand when he saw the two.

"Hi, tumben got here first, Sha," said Farah. "Yes, you usually take longer. This time there was no outpouring session and a gombal seduction like before." Diva smiled amusedly.

"Yes nothing this time. Mr. Reno was in a hurry. He's got a meeting with the college board. But I'm relieved anyway, long time uncomfortable too."

"Alah, get rid of what's happy. Don't pretend, Sha," teased Farah.

"Eh, it's delicious. I don't have any feelings for Mr. Reno. Just amazed, recorded yes in your mind," said Shanum while pouting.

"But you have to be careful, Sha. Yesterday the Cantika had tried to find information from us," said Diva lirih.

"Oh yeah, what did he ask?" shanum asked while frowning.

"He asked about your relationship with Mr. Reno. It seems like he's starting to get suspicious." Diva said it in a soft voice while occasionally looking at the situation.

Shanum sniffed his shoulder. "Give up, I have nothing to do with that teacher."

"But you still can't take this matter lightly, Sha. Remember no, Cantika once made a student suddenly out of campus for being a victim of bullying." Farah reminded Shanum.

Shanum grinned. "Can't try, if he dares to do that to me." Shanum then made a gesture of cutting the neck with his hand.

Both of his friends are staring. Diva then pats Farah on the shoulder. "You forgot, Farah. Shanum is really, really," he whispered, grimacing.

"Ah, yes. I forget. Cantika could be Shanum's victim." Farah rolled her eyeballs. Then the three girls chuckled together.

"It's ah, there's no need to talk about Cantika anymore. I want to tell you this, last night there was a confusing event" Shanum said.

Both of his best friends are quietly waiting for the continuation of Shanum's words. Their faces looked curious. Shanum then recounted what his parents had told him.

"Could ya. Don't be right it's a hunch, Sha. I'll call Sergei again." Diva seemed to think while tapping her lips with a finger.

"Don't let me talk to Sergei" Shanum said. Diva frowned. "Em. if you want to listen, you can too." Shanum looks awkward.

Diva smiled amusedly. "I don't mind, Sha. Please call me, Sergei. As long as you tell me later, what's the result."

"Ishh, that's the same thing" Farah snorted.

Suddenly the phone rang loudly. They see their cell phones. It turned out that the one that sounded belonged to Shanum. The girl looked at the number listed on the screen and she looked unhappy. He refused the call.

"Well, why not pick up, Sha?" ask Diva.

"So morning there was also a call from that unknown number. After I lifted up no voice could be heard answering. Just the silence and the sound of someone's breath. Waste of time just serving pranksters."

"You're sure the number is the same. Try to check first" said Farah.

Shanum picked up and checked his phone. "Yes right, same. Here, look!" He thrusts his phone towards Diva and Farah. Diva grabbed Shanum's phone and made sure to go back. Farah looked at him from next to her.

"Yes right, same. About who? And what's the motive?" Diva weighed the phone in her hand while thinking. Then he handed it back to Shanum.

"If I think so, that person is one of your fans, Sha" said Farah.

"Ah, not possible. I'm a famous person who has fans." Shanum rolled his eyeballs.

Farah smiled smirk. "Well, Mr. Reno and Khan Adrian."

"Yes right, it could be between the two of them," said Diva slowly.

Shanum gazed far ahead into the expanse of grass in the park. He tried to analyze the words of his friends. The gentle breeze brought a cool air that made him recall the atmosphere in the flower garden of the man's mansion.

"So, if that number calls you again. You pretended to think of him as Mr. Reno. You just say this: Loh, Mr. Reno. Not that we'll meet. Or you say something else. But with friendly words. Khan is a possessive person, usually such a person will respond." Farah gave her advice while looking at Shanum seriously.

"But what if there's still no response?" ask Shanum.

"If so, it's up to you to serve it or not." Farah shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, I'll try." Shanum muttered softly.

"Eh, by the way, I go first. Today I have a promise with Mama, I want to buy a birthday present for Papa," Farah said.

"Oh, yes, I have. I'm going home too." Shanum moved from his seat.

"Yes, so am I. Until tomorrow, yes" continued Diva. They walked together, heading to their car parks.

Arriving at home, after Shanum changed his clothes, and was relaxing on his bed. He received another call from the unknown number through his cell phone.

Shanum stared at his screen, and smiled smirk. He's gonna try Farah's advice. He got up from his lying position, then cleared his throat.

"Hello, with Shanum here."

As usual, only the sound of breathing was heard. Shanum smiled and said, "Sir Reno, if you just want to hear my voice, you can. Tomorrow I will come to the room, and Mr. Reno may ask anything. I will answer them all, without exception." Shanum tried to let out a spoiled sighing sound, which actually made him nauseous.

"You promise... Okay, tomorrow I wait in my room yes," said a voice that is none other than Mr. Reno's own voice. Shanum gasped, his face paled. Jesus... die you, Shanum! Farah, Goddamn!
