My Husband is a King
Letter Introduction
The dim twilight erodes the sunlight. The transverse lines on the horizontal blind cast a striped shadow on the face to the neck of a person sitting behind a window.
"I'm sorry, Eliana, our marriage has to be postponed."
The King's words really disturbed his mind. Indeed, from the very beginning, Eliana never expected to be the wife of King Gerald and become Queen in Raisilian. However, after hearing for themselves the failure of their marriage plans from the King, it is undeniable if the disappointment suddenly arises.
"But I promise, I will never let you go, not for a second."
Suddenly Eliana smiled obliquely recalling that part. In his mind, he was anxious to say to His Majesty the King, so as never to promise if the King could not keep up.
"Because ... after I hear a promise, it is impossible for me to charge it if one day the promise has not been kept," Eliana said, closing her eyes, letting the sunlight in that afternoon flush her beautiful face through the horizontal cracks of the window blinds.
Baby Kevin looks agitated in his sleep. He did not cry, whine or make any sound. The baby simply moved his body to the left right as his clenched tiny hands rubbed against his eyes.
Eliana got up from the side of the window that took her for a moment to daydream earlier, approaching the baby who seemed to need her touch.
"Kevin, are you awake, baby?" suddenly the baby opened his eyes as he heard Eliana's soft voice.
There was no answer from the baby who could not speak. Kevin simply returned Eliana's warm gaze with his innocent eyes.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of Eliana's bedroom door being knocked. Reflexes, the girl put Kevin back on the box and went to the door.
"Who?" eliana asked as she walked.
"There's a letter for Miss Eli." The voice of a woman so familiar to Eliana.
"Come in" said Eliana.
"Aunt Odeth." Yes, Eliana immediately hugged the woman and cried.
Aunt Odeth returns Eliana's embrace. "Miss ...."
"Auntie is a letter carrier? Aunty is no longer a palace lady? Aunty wasn't sentenced to prison, was she, because of Eliana?" A row of Eliana questions came out for this middle-aged woman before him.
"No, Miss," he replied, shaking his head. "I was just transferred to be a letter carrier" he said again.
"Auntie .. I miss you, Auntie. I'm worried about you. I'm sorry, yeah ...." Eliana hugged the former lady once more.
"There's nothing to forgive, miss. Miss Innocent, here's a letter for you, Miss Eli." Aunt Odeth handed Eliana an envelope.
"From who?" Eliana wondered.
"Miss can read it later. Aunt should be back, yeah. If Your Majesty finds out, he will be angry with your aunt" said Aunt Odeth with a sad face.
"Aunt ...." Eliana teary.
"Saying aunt, yes, Miss. May Miss and Baby Kevin always be healthy and well" said Aunt Odeth who immediately left.
Although it was actually in the middle-aged woman's heart, there was so much she wanted to tell. Including a five-year wage-free work sentence. However, he did not want to burden Eliana's mind. Until finally aunt Odeth chose to better silence. For him, being able to look back at Eliana and Baby Kevin in good health, was very happy.
