Daendels sat in front of Stella with a cold look, the beautiful girl closed her eyes, sleeping very comfortably in her long dream. The clock already showed at 3 am, Daendels activity after this is to go to the port to see firsthand the shipment of spices to Europe. Daendels' outstretched hand brushed away the hairdresser that covered Stella's pretty face, slowly raising her lips, if Stella wasn't here would she feel this euphoria, does it feel the same when he works without anyone making a butterfly effect in his stomach.
“I'm afraid you go, can I ask you to stay by my side forever? Will you stay here with me? Or did you really leave after your business here ended?.” Daendels asks himself about Stella, the girl he knows comes from the future, the girl who understands her history here.

A brief kiss on Stella's forehead ended the meeting this morning, and Daendels came out of Stella's room and closed the door again. The man went with some Dutch soldiers who were with him to Anyer.
When morning came, Stella opened her eyes because of the sunlight that entered her room through the open window. The wall clock shows at 8 am, not morning but it should be noon for a woman to wake up at that hour. Stella set her foot on the floor, walked towards the door and opened it. It looks like Sumi who just came from the kitchen brought a winnow filled with rice.
“The mrs is awake? Breakfast is ready at the dinner table.” Sumi said very politely.
“Willem where?.”
“Master has left for Anyer, He said that it is likely to come home the day after, during that time, you are not allowed to leave the house until he returns.”
Stella just nodded, it was indeed a danger that Stella would come out alone, but either she would stay there until Daendels returned or instead steal the time to get out of the house. What is certain is that now he is free not to take a shower and go straight to the dining table to enjoy his morning breakfast, his empty stomach has been thrashing in the fill. The food provided here is always healthy and delicious food, Stella is at home with food like this even though there are no hut, mcd, and mixue pizzas.
“Mrs don't shower first?.” Sumi asked with a worried face as her extremely enthusiastic master ate without paying attention to her appearance who was still wearing long white sleeping clothes.
“I'm hungry, Willem isn't there anyway, so I want to eat first.” Stella walked towards the dining room and pulled a chair for her to sit on, the beautiful girl looked at the food on the table with a hungry look. Take fish, then vegetables, also rice as the main staple food.
Last time Sumi prepared bread for breakfast, because Daendels only ate bread as breakfast. But then everything changed when Stella said she wanted to eat rice and heavy meals because Stella usually does not eat lunch, only breakfast and afternoon to maintain her weight.
Stella finished the food on her plate without remaining, fullness is one word that fit describe the state of the girl now. After eating, Stella returned to her room, cleaned up and put on some neat clothes. Beautiful light blue dress with a lot of lace on the bottom and comfortable shoes that hug the soles of the feet.
Stella walked out of her room while carrying two books, a notebook and a reading book that she was going to read today. His steps came to a halt in front of the brown door that looked luxurious among the other doors, Stella knew it was Daendels' room but it felt like the room was completely uninhabited even though Daendels came home all day spent in the workroom, the morning came out of the workspace was not the room.
“Mr Daendels rarely uses his room so that it is always closed.” Sumi's words made Stella turn her head, Sumi was cleaning some furniture and decorations that were exposed to dust.
“Why?.”
“People who have a high position are always busy in their work space, the master goes home from work directly again in the workspace, so he does not have time to sleep in his room. Even if you enter only change clothes.”
Stella just nodded, Sumi as babu in the house and almost every hour around must be more memorized than Stella who spent her time reading books or writing historical records that she still remembers.
The room wasn't in the lock when Stella tried to pull the doorknob “Don't tell Willem I went inside.”
“Good mistress.”
Stella looked inside, a very spacious room with a lot of military equipment, a room but like an army headquarters. Stella stepped her foot inside, and closed it back down. The girl sits herself in a soft bed with a dark design, the type of Daendels that Stella knows.
Stella's view is fixed on an item on the table, a box of very small size. ‘izin open little aja.’ Stella said in her heart as she opened the box.
His eyes sparkled in amazement as he looked at the contents of the box, a very beautiful ruby ring. “This has to be expensive.” Stella took the ring from the box and put it on her finger, very fitting and beautiful.
“Stella, release. It does not belong to lo.” Stella took the ring off and put it back in place.
In the future she would never be able to wear such a ring, other than because it was so expensive, she would also not marry a rich man who could buy such a ring. Maybe it could, but it would not be thought to buy a ring like that, men in his era are not most romantic men, if not told or at least the code, will not be bought.
Stella exhaled and then exited the room, only to open the door her steps came to a halt when someone higher than her was right in front of her. Stella gulped her hard saliva while raising her head, there was also Sumi who just looked down in fear.
Their views meet, Daendels who knows when to go home when he should not be here now.
“Will-.”
“What are you doing in my room?.” Cold, the sentence was thrown with a very cold tone.
“I just emm it-.”
“Do you really like to go to other people's places carelessly?.” Daendels' question made Stella raise her fearful face and stare at Daendels' dislike.
“I was just curious about this uninhabited room, that's all, after all nothing is missing, I didn't bring anything from inside your room.” Stella was a little upset. “Sorry, I have been sassy to enter your room.” Stella intends to leave but Daendels restrains the girl's arm.
“Cute me.” Daendels pulls Stella into his room, leaving the girl terrified when they are alone.
