Bed With In-laws
Old house

Since Reyna's departure, the house that had felt warm and alive in the last 10 days, returned cold and silent. No more disappointment. There was no more work done by the housekeeper at his command.

Everything came back as it was. Like when Reyna left a few years ago. Bring warmth and all joy.

Hellian returned to his previous state. Alone, looking up at the sky or back to the old house. The house that had been the place of the tomb of the last night they were five.

Just like today. When longing disturbs his nerves. Hellian again visited the old house, sitting by the lake while looking at swans swimming.

Unexpectedly, Darion and Zea also visited the old house at the same time. Only, they came a little afternoon, because took the time to go shopping first.

"She must have missed mom a lot" Zea said, as she had just come and walked to the side of the house.

Darion turned his head, looking at the old man sitting by the lake alone. His long breath could be heard, before he finally invited Zea to go inside.

"We buy only a little meat. Didn't know that Dad would be here, too. Do I need to go out again?" asked Zea who was walking beside Darion.

"no need. I don't like meat very much. Make pasta and Foie Gras, he likes it" replied Darion who was busy putting some paper bags on the table.

"But we don't have Foie Gras."

"Don't worry. The housekeeper will bring it in a minute."

Zea began to unpack the contents of her groceries. Take out fresh vegetables and meat that he will exercise tonight. Darion was busy helping Zea. Cutting vegetables for salads and bruising meat.

As for Zea, she looked worried about Hellian. Since then, the girl's gaze has been fixed on the glass window. Seeing Hellian still sitting in the same position.

"Go comfort your father, Don. Or at least, accompany him to chat," Zea pinta softly.

"Leave him."

"Stop being stubborn, Don! He only has you now. Go and talk for a minute."

Darion bowed, thinking of Zea's words which were true. In the end, he put down his knife and went to see Hellian. While Zea was still busy cooking while looking at them from behind the glass window.

Although Zea could not hear the conversation of the two because of the distance. At least he could see the two men sitting by the lake, chatting well.

Two hours have passed. Hot food has been neatly arranged by Uncle Sam on the table. While Zea went to the living room to call two men who were busy playing chess.

"Don, Father," called out to him in a gentle tone. "Evening is ready."

Darion turned his head, looked at Zea, then smiled as he nodded slowly and said, "We're coming."

He looked at the face of the father who was still busy playing chess. As if he ignored the words of Zea. Darion, who was upset, stood up.

"Dad doesn't seem interested in enjoying the Wine Penfolds we're carrying," said Darion turning to Zea, but his eyes glanced at Hellian.

For some reason, after the word Wine came out of Darion's mouth. Hellian immediately took a deep breath and stretched his body.

"Easy! I'm tired of playing chess, it's better to fill up first" he said as he stood up, then walked away.

But as he walked past Zea, his footsteps stopped for a moment. The man approached and whispered, "Don't call me Dad!"

The words that came out of Hellian's mouth did not make his heart hurt or offended. Zea raised two corners of her lips and saw Hellian walking towards the dining table.

"Dad, I made pasta and goose hearts!" zea said with a slightly mocking tone.

Hellian briefly stopped his footsteps again, but only for a moment. Darion, who had been standing next to Zea, suddenly lowered his lips near Zea's ears.

"Basic, bad girl! How dare you tempt your future in-laws" whispered Darion, who then made Zea turn her head.

Zea simply smiled, then stuck out her tongue, intent on ridiculing Darion as well. Before he finally ran small towards the dining table and joined together with Hellian.

Seeing Zea's adorable behavior, Darion's smile escaped in an instant.

"Look, I'll get back to you tomorrow!"
