Child Contains Husband of Others
9.

Although it took time and process, people eventually got used to the presence of Erekleus. They began to understand that he was not a spoiled Young Master but rather a friendly man who was firm and knew how to do his duty.

The village situation is changing rapidly. The roads worked by the village people began to get longer and more comfortable to pass. The citizens help each other according to Erekleus' expectations even though he knows there are also those who do not like his presence.

Within a week, Erekleus kicked six senior employees from nearby villages and villages for embezzling funds. Erekleus also gradually took control of the center of electricity and water until the people who set it as they please so can no longer.

Erekleus was never busy every day. Until finally, day twenty, he could really relax a little.

Erekleus asked Mute with him to look around the school because that part was also one of his duties coming here.

"Good morning, Young Master." Dinda knew instead appeared and smiled sweetly at him. "Dad said Young Master wanted to go around so Dad told me to accompany."

Not giving up even after having a wife, is it? Very typical of women. Erechleus only laughed a little, because he wanted Dinda to turn over even Erekleus would not be interested.

His wife is so beautiful. All Narendra women deserve to be called the most beautiful girls in the world. And even if Dinda is as pretty as an angel, Narendra is not allowed to marry an ordinary woman.

"Then accompany me, beautiful girls." Erechleus walked between Mute and Dinda.

Of course Mute felt awkward because he was like a mosquito repellent.

"Young Master, may I ask you a question?" Dinda asked gently to look like a classy lady.

"Of course, Miss. Ask."

"Why doesn't Young Master eat rice? What kind of allergy?"

"Hm? No. gabe. It's a family rule." Erekleus smiled kindly. "We don't eat foods that damage the body."

The two girls who lived while eating rice only thought that they were not as charming as Erekleus because they ate rice from childhood.

"Then, what is Young Master's favorite meal?" Dinda asked again.

"My favorite food?" Erekleus thought of remembering his favorite food at the Rose Castle. "Taste wine? I can tomb three kilos of wine alone. Also dried persimmon. My mother had always prepared persimmon near my bed since childhood."

"What's the persimmons?" Mute was unable to hold back the curiosity.

"You curious?" Erekleus laughing. "The package for me will come later, so I'll share with you if I want."

"I can too, Young Master?" Dinda won't lose.

"Yes, I'll send it to you later too."

Along the way Dinda kept asking about him and Erekleus answered as he was. He asked what his social media name was, Erekleus replied that there was none because there was none.

Then they finally arrived at school.

"You go to school here too?"

"Yes, Young Master."

"Out of my guess." Erekleus stared around. "The building is small but I think the students are a little bit too?"

"Many drop out of school because of the cost" Mute replied. "Rather than spending time at school, people choose to work or work together."

"It's a public school. What's still up to the cost?"

"Do you think public school is free?"

"Yes, because it's government policy since the last hundred years." Erekleus answered seriously. "We were Narendra who made it and the government inaugurated it. Of course, I know there are many areas that cheat and still use the old rules. I came to stop it."

Mute's riveted. "Do you mean school is free?"

"It should be free. Since the last hundred years." Erekleus took a deep breath. "Well, fixing things isn't that easy."

Mute was suddenly moody. Erekleus who saw it was obviously curious.

"What's wrong?"

"Mute dropped out of school before high school." Dinda answered. "His family can't afford to pay, Young Master. School money may be, but the equipment isn't."

"really?" Erekleus raised an eyebrow. "Then why grieve, Mute?"

"My way to school I can go to college" replied Mute grimly. "Can find a job."

"I don't have a school at all."

"Yes, family rule," answered Erekleus. "Narendra is not allowed to go to school. We were educated at the age of five to fifteen, then prepared for two years of work and at the age of seventeen I began to work."

"You don't mean to go to college?" Mute.

"Yes, I didn't even go to Kindergarten, or whatever you called it. But I've mastered Bahasa Indonesia as a whole, English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and a bit of Latin."

Erekleus smiled brightly. "Don't look at education status as a benchmark, Mute. You can be awesome without it. Of course, you have to learn for it."

"But it's because you're rich. Rich people want stupid to be bosses."

"That's indisputable but trust me not to me." Erekleus put his hand in his pocket. "Everyone who goes by the name Narendra is amazing in person. We're not allowed to live if we don't."

Dinda feels annoyed by the way Erekleus pays attention to Mute. Anyway it's up to the talk of not school and blabla, but Erekleus should pay more attention to it.

"Young Master, come on in."

"Yes, come on." Erekleus agreed, going to that school to get around. The arrival of Erechleus was greeted by students and even teachers. That day they even took a break from class because Erekleus held an impromptu quiz in the field, inviting them to interact.

Mute has fun with a group of kids who remind her of the past. If only his mother was still around and his badjok father remembered the family, Mute would have lived better than he is now.

When they returned home, Mute just silently followed Dinda and Erekleus who were talking to each other. Erekleus takes a detour to drive Dinda to his house first, only they split up and left him and Mute alone.

"Don't regret your own destiny, Little Girl." Erekleus knew how to say so in front of Mute's house at once in front of his tent. "You know the current president? He's an amazing man. The one who raised him was my uncle, whose name was not known to too many people. You know Arkas Narendra? Of course not. He's the current Uncle Leader Narendra. He always told me he wished he hadn't been born as Narendra, but he lived his life wholeheartedly."

Erekleus stroked the top of Mute's head. "Not going to school doesn't make you a loser, Little Miss. Your life is still long and that's what your choice will be."

Mute's shoulders suddenly shook. Erekleus was surprised to see the girl sobbing sobbing that her body was shaken. For a moment Erekleus remembered that she was a little girl who took care of her grandmother alone in the old house—although some were already in the process of building—without a father, an older brother or anyone.

"Your life must be hard." Erekleus pulled the girl into his arms. Patting his fragile back. "No problem. Crying is no problem. Do as much."

Mute kept sobbing.

"Well, I hate crying women. It makes me feel useless." Erekleus let go of the embrace but turned it into an embrace. "Come here. I'll have Mira take care of your grandmother for a while so entertain yourself first."

Mute continued sobbing until Erekleus brought him into the tent. When entering, Mute's cry was forced to a halt by the surrounding scenery.

Wow, this is really like home. There were a lot of multi-layered curtains as well and upon entering Erekleus' bed, Mute instead seemed to enter the royal family's room full of gold.

Not real gold but the fabrics that become curtains around it have a shiny gold rose pattern. The bed was covered by sheets with a golden rose pattern as well.

"I've wanted it from a long time ago," said Mute still a bit hiccuped, "you why always wear rose gold? Like?"

Erekleus. "No. It's my family symbol. Golden roses, black roses and red roses."

"Symbol?"

"Black roses signify the Narendra family as a whole, red roses are more likely to be on Narendra's wives, and gold roses are a common symbol Narendra wears when outside. We must not wear clothes without a rose pattern, it must not be other than black, except red for Narendra's wife."

Mute suddenly remembered that this guy's shower bottle cover alone had a rose carving.

"You'll stop crying if I tell you?" Erekleus sat on his bed, patting the side there. "Then come and listen."

Mute obediently sits down. Observe the carpet that is again patterned roses, rose-patterned house slippers, even to the sofa of roses.

Erekleus said that his family had stood for more than two hundred years and since then the rose has become their symbol. Erekleus also said that there are no brands in the world that use roses as their logo because it would be considered a problem. Mute became well aware that Erekleus was from a completely different world.

"Why did your kayak come here? Care about this village?" I don't know why Mute questioned it again.

If he could live quietly without a care, why would he care?

"For Narendra has long been preparing to rule this country." Erekleus answered with a smile. "It took a very long time to be honest, Miss. Two hundred years. I was the first generation of Narendra to jump straight into the field. The city is under the responsibility of my father's generation, so I as the youngest generation hold a small responsibility. It's just that simple."

Erekleus entertained him with stories that Mute did not understand but were pleasant to hear. Mute falls asleep on Erekleus' arm.

The curtains of his room were opened by Yohana. "Young Master?"

"Leave it."
