THE COLD DAD
WHY ARE YOU CRYING LAN...
'Where is this? When I opened my eyes, all I saw was the dark sky tonight was very gloomy.. Just like my heart is being struck by eternal.'
Lannox stood on the edge of a hillside, he saw the sky at night, his gaze roamed every star as the occasional meteor fell, then disappeared again.
Suddenly the beautiful figure that he desperately yearned for came closer hugging from behind. Reflex lannox was surprised, but he did not reject it.
'This. I know very well how to hug me, Arabel....!' Lannox opened the two soft hands that were hugging her warmly.
He quickly turned around, to see the face he so longed for. As they met a look, tears fell down her cheeks. The longing he had been enduring was finally channeled by his presence.. Looks beautiful figure nun soft. She smiled at him.
"My wife Arabella..." Calling lirih.
Seeing the reaction of her husband who looks fragile, both of her white hands touch the face of her beloved husband.. He wiped away the tears that kept falling down his cheeks.
Lannox closed her eyes, then held Arabella's hands together, and she kissed them.
"Why are you crying Lan... Is it because you miss me, or because of your guilt in the past..?" Ask Arabella worried.
"Both are Arabel, for these two feelings are side by side with each other, and dwell in the deepest recesses of my heart.
Lannox hugged his wife softly, and so tightly, as if she did not want to let go.
"My wife, when can I be with you? So much time I've spent without you by my side. It was so empty and torturous."
The soft face of the moonlight, which had been listening silently since then, was back.
"Lan.your time is still long, forget all that has passed.. Take that as a lesson to get better. Cry as much as you want, but never blame yourself. And.."
Her words suddenly came to a halt, her beautiful eyes looking down miserably. But he smiled back. "Lane.. If you're so lonely, I'll allow you to find my daughter."
Lannox frowned unhappily upon hearing his wife's words.. He cupped his soft face with both palms, and saw the beautiful eyes of Arabella.
"My wife Arabella.. I have promised in sacred bonds, and have sworn to myself. Until at any time, the space of my heart can only be filled by you and our daughter. There is nothing else after that, you are the first and last for me. And that is absolute, nothing can replace your position in my heart.
So, never say those words again.. I don't like hearing it. I'm not that kind of Arabella, and.. Don't ever talk about it again.
"But, I can't afford to see you like this Lan.. Even though we are different in the world. Not that I don't..."
Not finished Arabella spoke, Lannox immediately kissed and locked the lips of his beloved wife. Moments later, he retracted his lips and kissed Arabella on the forehead.
"Never think that way, Arabel.. Don't ever."
"Huh..." Arabella exhaled, and pulled her body from Lannox's embrace, and smiled wistfully."
"All right, I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Lan.." Arabella with a smiling face called out to her husband.
Lannox then kissed his wife's forehead.. And hugged him back, the figure he always missed.
"Hem.." she replied as she stroked his wife's beautiful hair.
"You don't have to worry about our daughter, because she's doing fine now."
The look on his face rippled in surprise, out of curiosity.
"How did you know?"
"Our daughter is somewhere.. Where you won't be able to enter that place. Take it easy, she's in a safe place, our daughter's made a really good new friend and loves it."
Seeing lannox's face suddenly downing, Arabella laughed.
"Haha.. Haha.. Calm down my husband, I'm not done talking!"
Hearing the sound of soft laughter that he had long since missed, the face that had seemed emotional now smiled again.
"Haah you seem very happy.. Arabel." she said as she stroked Arabella's face.
"Listen dear, our daughter has now found a new friend in a different world."
"Wait first.. Different world!! Is he a man, or a woman?? Because I wouldn't allow it if it was a man." Tutored firmly.
"Hm.. I don't know. I don't care if he wants to be friends with anyone, as long as it makes him happy. Mm.. You just have to be careful with everything else."
"Another thing.. What'sthat?" Tanya lannox looked worried.
...****************...
Elsewhere in Hobgoblin's world, Ravella sits on Hobgoblin's shoulder while Gapi flies beside Ravella. The bodyguards and the two maids are sitting on Hobgoblin's black palm.
Amidst the long silence during the journey, Ravella opened her voice to express what was on her mind.
"Uncle.. Is your home far away?" Ravella asked breaking the silence, so that the others would not tense up.
"No, it's close."
In this strange and mysterious world. Hobgoblins walk in the twists of a giant tree, the roots of a rattan wrapped around it until it reaches the top of the tree. The trunk of the tree was towering, and the green rattan that formed a path was even larger in size than the size of Hobgoblin's body.
"At the top there.. It's my home"
From a distance looks like a big house like a mushroom shape, very unique and interesting. The guards and ladies' ladies, were amazed by the sight, for it was only the first time they went to such a place.. Likewise with Ravella and Gapi, who are no less fascinated by the uniqueness.
'Wah... This place is so beautiful. Mm.. Lucky we got lost to another world. And I'll tell the rest of the matter, when I get back. Hem.. But this is so weird!!
Is it possible that the dimensional gate of the Monster World, has been opened by someone! I did, I locked it first.. But it only lasted for a while. Maybe the time is up?! and the portal that brought us here was actually opened or opened on its own?? I'll find her later.'
"Wow.. It's a really fun journey. I was lucky to be the Princess' bodyguard. If not, maybe, I'll never get to a place like this." Said Olav happily.
"You're right, I think the same of you!" eric Sahut.
Ravella laughed at that.
'Really amazing.. And I also agree with these two children.' Thought Robi agreed.
'What a miracle is this.. Ever since I became the knight of His Highness the Duke, various strange things I could see. Well, this is so much fun.. I really enjoyed it.' Dean smiled at the unique sight.
Roland had a different opinion than the others.. He looks so worried. Which he knows.. During his journey with Duke, fight the Monsters. He never believed in their words.
'I need to be more careful.. I have never believed in a Monster, and the problem is His Highness Little.'
Roland glanced at the Princess who was sitting on Hobgoblin's right shoulder, a plain face that was being lulled by the beautiful scenery.
'Haah.. How do I bring him back? Seeing how those innocent eyes were like not wanting to go home!!'
