Ghost Husband
About Feelings
Milka let out a heavy sigh, today everything was in vain. He and Dennis didn't get any leads on the killer. Until the sun goes down and the moon shows itself the three of them waiting for who knows the killer to act again but only nothing they get.
“Daughter did you get any leads on the murder that happened at your school?” Asked Clona who was immediately answered with a head without spirit from Milka.
“All I, Glydis and Dennis get is just this.” Appoint Milka on red bumps due to mosquito bites on her face and hands. Then Clona quickly took the medicine to apply it to the mosquito bite marks.
After finishing all her dinner Milka sat on the dresser chair. Thinking about the killer, and what his real motives were, why would the person he killed elsewhere be taken to his school. Did he want to scare someone who was in that school? Or someone at school who's the killer.
Milka ruffled her hair because she could not find the answer to all of her questions. It just gets more confusing to her.
“What are you doing?” Ask the King with inner contact.
“I'm being frustrated.” Answer Milka directly.
“Frustration?”
“Yes, in my school there was a murder case, and the killer has not been caught.” Milka.
“Do not interfere too much Princess Aerish, do not involve yourself in danger. If you don't belong to something, you better shut up and just study.” Said the King did not want if Milka made herself get caught up in something dangerous.
“I don't want to interfere with Your Majesty, but conscience calls me to uncover who the murderer really is.” Said Milka.
“You are so stubborn Princess Aerish.” King Saying.
“Alright, do you want me to help me?” Ask King.
“Can you? What kind of help can you do? Or do you know who the killer is?” Ask Milka.
“Do I have to answer all your questions it's Princess Aerish?”
“I'll only give you one hint.” King Said.
“Hint? What's the lead Your Majesty?” Ask Milka curiously.
“Tomorrow at 9 o'clock you will meet him.” Said the King giving the hint to Milka.
“What is that? Your Highness at 9 in school I'll meet a lot of people. How could I possibly know which of all the people I met was the killer.” Milka was not satisfied with the instructions the King gave her.
“You can ignore the clue I gave you that.” Said the King to the pouting Milka. Because the King's instructions only make him more confused.
While in a disarranged mind thinking about what happened at the school about the murder, the maid came to say that the Empress wanted to see Milka at her residence. Then Clona and Grasil accompanied Milka to visit the Empress's residence.
“Please sit Princess Aerish.” The Empress said so kindly to Milka.
“Thank you Your Highness.” Milka smiled and sat down.
“I want to thank you because when the King is sick you have taken care of and accompanied him.” Empress.
"As a concubine it's my responsibility." Says Milka wise.

After his meeting with Milka, the Empress came to the King's residence.
"What's wrong?" Ask King.
"I just want to visit you." Consort Sahut. Then he approached the king. Then slowly touch the King's drug. But the king quickly dismissed him.
"Your Majesty..!" The Empress seemed to be unable to accept the King's refusal.
"Empress if there's nothing you want to say, go back to your residence." King Saying.
"Your Majesty, my touch is different from that of Princess Aerish!" Flat-pitched empress.
"Fine back to your home." Say the King again. Asking the Empress to subtly leave him. Because he didn't want to make the Empress even more angry with the reality later.
"For hundreds of years I have been your companion and your Empress. But Your Majesty, you have never seen me as a woman. I thought you still hadn't forgotten that woman. But why is she different from Princess Aerish? You see it more." The Queen's eyes glazed over. His heart ached from a love that was never avenged.
All this time loving the King with only one-sided love. Although he had done so much to make the King love him, it was all in vain because the slightest bit of the King's heart was never moved for him.
"Did you see it differently when you saw me?"
"Empress! Don't ask me something you already know the answer to. Because it'll only make your heart hurt." King Saying.
"If it's like that then try to see me, I beg you! Look at me as your lady, Your Majesty!." The Empress hugged the King's body.
"Don't force something that the Empress can't. Go back to your residence!" Firmly King with an indecipherable look. Then immediately left his residence with the Empress who shed tears of love that was never reciprocated.
And, instantly, the look on his face seemed to harbor deep hatred.
"Daughter Aerish! If the King doesn't love me then you won't be able to get his love either." The Queen's words are hateful.

"Your Majesty what are you doing here?" Madam West approached the King who was standing looking straight at the Palace garden filled with beautiful and fragrant flowers.
"Look at Princess Aerish, like I saw her." Said the King with sad eyes.
"Your Majesty, sometimes we see things the same even though they are different. And, Your Majesty don't equate something different because it's going to hurt someone." Mrs West reminded the King.
"Do I have to look at it differently?" Ask the King then his view now turns to Mrs West.
"Try to do that, Your Majesty. To let you know whether your feelings are simply because an assumption about the past or the past has changed leads you to a new future." Mrs West looked directly into the King's eyes.
And, the King responded to the Madam's remark with a smile. Because he knew what Mrs West said was the truth she had to do. Then the King's gaze returned to a distant glare,
So did Mrs West who stood beside the King. The king he had long been with. And, he knew very well how the journey of life undertaken by the King. And, the pain and hardships that the King faced.
And, he no longer wanted to see the bitter past that had happened again repeated, and injured the King as before.
"Mrs West, do you miss her too?" Ask the King without taking his eyes off.
"Only do you know how much I miss him, Your Majesty." Sahut Mrs West.
