Emily, The Mute Girl
Tell Della

Della follows Emily with curiosity, not knowing what reason Emily would give her. At first he doesn't want to hear anything Emily says, he just wants to scold her even if he can rid her of Clarissa and Jeremy's life. But, without explaining, Emily suddenly apologized to him. What the hell is going on? If Emily was such a selfless woman as the crowd talked about including her niece, this mute woman could not possibly humble herself to bother apologizing.

Emily takes Della to her room and locks the door after putting their dog in the room. Then Emily asks Ferry to play with her pet and make noise. Emily deliberately let it happen because it could prevent others from hearing their conversation. Emily is convinced, Jeremy must have told his servant to report everything about him. Indeed, Della was deeply disturbed by the barking sound of the dog, but she chose not to say anything.

"Sit down." Emily gestured while pointing at the sofa that was in her room. Della looked at him reluctantly, but she finally sat down as well.

"So, what do you want to say? Are you gonna tell me you had to come here?" ask him impatiently. Emily nodded making Della stunned.

"You want me to believe you?" della asked in a scornful tone.

Emily then took a pen and paper from the nightstand beside her bed, and wrote something there.

'Then what do you want to believe? Tell me, Madam. Do you believe that I came here happily and had planned it in the first place?' wrote Emily.

Della was silent, she had never met this woman before. He only heard gossip from the servants, even Clarissa herself never said that this was all Emily's will. But anyway, in the past Emily and Jeremy were married couples. And from the news that circulated, the two had a very good relationship at that time. Della looked at Emily questionnaires.

'If the Madam only wants to believe the Madam's own assumptions, then there's nothing I can explain. Do you know, though water can perforate a stone, but if hatred has enveloped one's heart then the truth cannot touch it. If the Madam doesn't want to believe me just a little, then whatever I say to the Madam, it won't mean anything Emily wrote on the paper as she watched Della continue to stare at her cynically.

"Why should I trust you. You fooled everyone with your fake death" Della said. Emily nodded slowly and went back to writing something on the paper.

'Yes, I fooled everyone. The president cheated them and your niece deceived you too.' Della widens her eyes.

"My niece tricked me too?" ask him in disbelief. Emily nodded back.

'Faking my death was our agreement in the past. Me, Jeremy, Clarissa, Doctor Darren and our two loyal servants. We all took an oath to a covenant.' Emily wrote.

"What agreement?" emily's words are getting less and less going for Della.

"Are you deliberately trying to trick me?" Not only did Della grow increasingly distrustful of what Emily was saying, but she became increasingly curious about what Emily would say next to defend herself. Emily paused for a moment and sighed.

'Madam, if you want to keep hating me then you can leave now and I don't have to waste energy explaining more to you.' she wrote on the paper and immediately stood up to take Della outside. Della rang her teeth.

After Emily recounts all the problems that happened in the past, Della feels lost for her words. They faked Emily's death only to break the ropes of the marriage for life as Jeremy and Emily, as well as so that Jeremy could marry Clarissa. His nephew was also involved in that big thing. This is a reality that he finds difficult to accept. But, he remembers vividly, Clarissa came to him with tears and said that Jeremy did not want to marry her after all the struggles and sacrifices he had made. That's why Della helped her to conceive Jeremy's child in a sneaky way. Did Clarissa trick him with that, too? But...

"You said Jeremy didn't like you and wanted to kill you when you were his wife. But why is he bringing you back and treating you so special and caring?" della asked doubtfully.

'Regarding that, I don't know either. The human heart is very easily turned back and forth by God. I don't know what made her change Emily wrote.

"Then what about your heart? Why can't you love her?" ask Della again. Emily was silent for a moment. He also has no answer to that question. She married because of an arranged marriage, and at that time she decided to learn to accept and love her husband. But it turns out that the man who became her husband did not want to be with her even just to sit together in the guarantee. The man also wanted to kill her many times after returning with another woman, so how could he fall in love with her?

'I love other people' Emily wrote. He just wrote it, not realizing that the words he wrote would backfire on him. Della was stunned, she narrowed her eyes.

"You love someone else?" tanyanya and Emily nodded in response.

"Then why aren't you with that guy? Why did you come here?" della Cecar. Emily closed her eyes. He imagined a figure who recently sometimes appeared in his dreams. The figure was not clear of his face, but was always laughing with him. He doesn't know who or where that figure is. He opened his eyes and wrote, again,

'Because it seems like that person no longer exists in this world. And Jeremy brought me forcibly here. Can't the Madam see it?'

*****

After talking for a while with Emily, Della finally came out of the room and met Jeremy who had been standing at the door. The man was not happy to see Emily take the woman to his room.

"What are you doing in my wife's room? What are you guys talking about?" tanyanya rouse. She's worried that Della's doing something to Emiky.

Della looked at the most respected person in the country with a look of hate. He did not understand why his nephew loved such a man so much.

"Nothing matters, Mr. President. I only visited her as a relative." replied Della.

A relative? Jeremy raised next to his eyebrows, then quietly smiled obliquely. Hah, Emily really knows how to take someone's heart.
