Ghost Husband
Raizel the King
When he saw the King walking up to him, Milka's heart seemed to be released from his body to jump out. A terrifying aura was like surrounding him.
“So you've come to your senses.” Said the King in a trembling voice.
While Clona and Grasil just lowered their heads, they did not dare to raise their gazes.
The king drew closer, then slowly his hand touched Milka's cheek and wiped away the falling tears.
“Don't waste your tears.” He said quietly, but sounded scary in Milka's ears.
Milka lifted her gaze, staring at the King. Only his eyes and lips were visible as half of his face was covered by a black mask that looked like it was made of iron.
The aura emanated by that Underworld King was truly extraordinary, the Underworld King had a cold attitude towards anyone. And, the King's name is Raizel Gardatra.
He is the King of the afterlife. And, at his command, those spirits who were once human and committed crimes during their lives and never repented or repented, will be punished with dread in the afterlife. And, of course, by order of Raizel the King.
Milka was unable to speak, her tongue became moody.
“Why? Are you afraid of me?” Ask Raizel
“Can you read my heart, or maybe you can read my mind?” Now Milka ventured to ask because she was surprised how the King could tell that he was afraid of her.
“That's clearly drawn on your face.” Raizel.
“Sorry, can I ask you something?” Said Milka.
“What do you want to know?” Raizel Sahut.
“Are you a ghost? I mean the ghost king? Or the ghost of the King?” Milka asked nervously, making Clona and Grasil raise their faces looking towards Milka.
“What do you think I am?” Ask Raizel.
“They say you are the King,” Milka replied.
“If that's what they say, maybe it's true.” Raizel.
“Be well rested, because tomorrow you may not have time to lie down.” Just follow Raizel and walk away. Leaving Milka confused by his words.
“You two take good care of him.” Raizel stops his steps in front of Clona and Grasil.
“Good noble.” Legitimate them together while bowing their bodies.
Afterwards Raizel again continued his steps to leave the Milka residence.

Milka was still lying down wanting to digest everything that happened because to her this was like a dream. At first she was forced to undergo a marriage, becoming a substitute bride. And, the one who was going to marry her was a ghost.
But when he arrived in the supernatural turned out that her husband was the King, everything really made Milka confused.
“What is this magical nature?” Tanya Milka looked towards Clona and Grasil.
“Iya miss.” Clona.
“Can you explain, because I still don't understand.” She asked Clona and Grasil to explain everything.
“This place is named Underworld miss.” Clona and Grasil begin to explain everything one by one.
That place is the Underworld, the afterlife, where all who have died will be judged. And whether they will be forgiven or punished.
“The old woman who came before the King, who is she?” Ask Milka.
“She is Madam West miss.” Now Clona explains who Mrs West is.
He explained that Mrs West was the butler who held the residence in the west.
“And, the lady's residence is the western part of the residence.” Clona. And, that those servants have great respect for Mrs West.
Clona and Grasil looked at each other, who would explain about the King.
“King Raizel is the third King to occupy the Throne.” Now Grasil explained.
Grasil explains that King Raizel is a feared and disinclined King of the Underworld. He was notoriously wise and merciless.
The evil spirits were extremely daunted when faced with King Raizel. His attitude was cold and cruel. For five years the Empress occupied the Throne no one dared her.
“A...what? Five Empresses of the year?” Milka looks shocked to hear that five years ago Raizel became King.
“Yes,” Sahut Clona and Grasil.
“So how many years has he lived?” Ask Milka.
“Nona, do not call the King with the designation that the lady just called.” Clona said with fear.
“What term?” Ask Milka doesn't understand.
Clona and Grasil did not dare to repeat what they could not say. Milka glanced at Clona and Grasil alternately waited for an answer about what he should not call it.
“Good, I'll repeat my question.” Then Clona and Grasil nodded.
“So?” Clona and Grasil shook their heads.
“Already?” Clona and Grasil shook their heads again.
“How many years?” Clona and Grasil still shook their heads.
“Dia?” Clona and Grasil immediately nodded quickly making Milka frown in wonder, because what was wrong with that word? Her thought.
“Nona should not use that word, miss should replace it with the word (Your Majesty)”.
Milka took a breath. “How about I break it?” Ask Milka.
“People who use the word will be in the law miss.” Clona.
“What's the penalty?” Ask Milka again still curious, as careful as what the word is.
“If the spirits, they will be burned in the hottest fire of Underworld. If human..”
“If man he will be cut off and his head will be hung in the gates of Underworld so that no one else will dare.” Madame West who came to cut off what Grasil said.
Hearing what Mrs West said made Milka swallow her saliva in fear. He will no longer use the word (DIA) on the King.
Milka did not want her head to escape from her body and her precious head was hanging at the gates of the Underworld. That was really terrible.
“Mrs West.” Clona and Grasil lowered their heads in salute to the old butler.
“I came to deliver your dinner miss.” Said Madame West who came with two maids carrying trays filled with food.
“What is human food?” Tanya Milka was afraid that if the food in the big tray was ghost food, it might be caterpillars and maggots, like those in horror movies.
“Of course, miss,” said Mrs West opened the food lid to show Milka the food.
“Iya this is really human food, kirain kayak in the movies” said Milka when he saw it contained rice and normal side dishes. Not maggots and caterpillars.
“Finely miss eat and after rest because tomorrow miss will say the appointment ceremony and title.” Mrs West said.
“Lifting and title ceremony? What is it?” Ask Milka doesn't understand.
“As the King's wife, the lady will be appointed and given the title by the King.” Mrs West explained that tomorrow is the appointment ceremony and the title will be given to Milka. And, it will be attended by all the residents in the Underworld.
At night Milka who was in the room wept for her fate. He did not expect that his life would end with a story that he himself was complicated to understand. And, at a time like this she felt so missed her mother.
The mother who had long left him for eternal life. And, Milka's tears began to pour down her cheeks. Unknowingly, he fell asleep in his grief.
