The Duchess Is Mine
DIM. 21
DIM. 21
A gripping aura enveloped a four-wheeled vehicle with an F-coded number plate on the front. Three passengers were aboard the iron vehicle. However, until the iron vehicle stopped at a one-story house, none of them dared to open their voices.
“Mother, where are we?” the great-grandson of the princess who had been hiding in the armpit of the mother.he was afraid to see the father, just for a second.
“Already, let's get down. Don't make dad any more angry.”
“I-ya.”
The mother and son quickly descended from each of the right and left doors of the iron vehicle. While the driver has come out first, since the car engine is turned off.
“Where is this, mas?” ask Estrella, just dare to invite the husband to talk.
This one-story house with a spacious and well-preserved yard is far from the crowd of the capital. Estrella guess the position of this house is on the edge of the city, but whether there is in which area. There are very few houses around. Most are still filled with vacant land that is ready to be built. There is also empty land that is left alone, to the point of becoming a field for wild plants that grow so fertile.
“Whose house is this, mas?”
Estrella asked again as she approached her husband. The brownish-skinned man seemed to be inserting a key in the keyhole on the door.
“Mas?”
“Log in!” elgara answered when the door was opened.
“Jawab first, whose home is this?” sue Estrella. Beside him, the princess looked down in fear.
“Our house,” replied Elgara briefly. He then gestured through his chin for his wife and daughter to enter immediately.
Estrella will not obey the orders of her husband. With the princess unwilling to let go of his hand, he stepped into the one-story house with the new-looking white, ash, and black paint. When stepping in, Estrella was immediately greeted with a minimalist-sized living room. Complete with a set of ash-colored sofas to entertain guests and other furniture such as tables, flower vases, sofa pillows with diverse pillowcase motifs.
Estrella thought the husband was taking them to an empty house because he was so angry. However, who would have thought if this house already has furniture that is quite complete. There are various electronic furniture also there, ranging from televisions attached to the wall, small-sized conventional fans, AC, water dispensers, refrigerators, rice cooker, air frayer, coffe making machines, etc, and some other furniture that came crammed all over this house.
The one-story house seemed to only have two rooms. One main room, and one regular bedroom. The house is also equipped with a family room, an all-in-one dining room with a kitchen, there is a fireplace as well, a comfortable reading room, as well as a kitchen bathroom with a separate laundry room. In short, the one-story house is overall comfortable and ready to live.
“We stayed here overnight. Tomorrow we just continue the journey,” said Elgara who had somehow dropped himself on the sofa.
“Capella, rest in that room,” he continued while pointing at a door with white paint. Decorated by a white and pink dreamcharter that looks adorable. Depends on that door.
“Good dad.”
“Now come in and rest,” Elgara said.
As a child, Capella could only nod. It is not good to deny the father who is currently on the blood. Capella decided to take off the handle on her mother, then left her parents there after entering the room. After Capella's departure, there was only Estrella and Elgara there. Shackled by mutes that make each other petrified.
“Mas, please be honest with Ella.”
Can't stand being left alone by her husband, Estrella again ventured. “Whose house is this? And why did you bring us here? Have you planned this for a long time?
“We stay here for tonight only. I'm tired. With my current condition, I can't possibly be strong enough to drive for the ride home. Better we continue the journey tomorrow morning,” said Elgara while moving from his sitting position. He then just walked away.
Walking to a door with white and brown paint, then disappeared behind the door that had been opened wide enough.
‘Can't I let El mas angry continue like this,” muttered Estrella before joining move to catch up with her husband.
“Mas!” call Estrella when she finds her husband in the room who turns out to be the master room in the house.
The master room looked comfortable and spacious, with a predominant color of white and light green.
“Hm?”
“Mas El is still angry because of the incident at the Xander residence?”
“Mas El, Ella, right, just gave up and apologized. Why is El still angry? Ella ...not knowing how to deal with the anger of El in any way. Capella ...our daughter is also frightened to see the anger of El.”
Elgara who was sitting on the lip of the bed was seen breaking his black mane in frustration. “You made a very fatal mistake today, Ella.”
“Yes, Ella knows that Ella was wrong. But, it is the reflex action of a mother, mas El.”
“But not necessary in such a violent way. You remember, who have you slapped?”
Estrella nodded faintly. “Why? He's a human boy, right? Not a child angel.”
“Ella!”
“Why is El scared of them at all?” sneer Ella subtly.
“I am not afraid, but respectful,” replied Elgara while releasing a tie that felt increasingly strangling his neck.
“It's not like that way of respect, mas El. Mas El is too obedient, to the point of being rude to Ella and Capella.”
Elgara breathed a furious sigh while looking at the wife who had stood looming before him. “Sorry, I was wrong. However, the actions you take today cannot be justified either. We promised not to hurt Xander's family. But the proof?”
“We're not the bad guys who plan to hurt them, mas. This is all out of our control.”
“Iya, I know. But we still have to keep our promises. In the future, Capella can no longer come here. Young masters and masters hate the very presence of our daughter.”
Estrella pursed her lips while carrying her tiny body to sit on the lap of her husband. “Daughter we have what's wrong to the point of not being able to come here, mas El?”
“You forgot the promise we agreed about fourteen years ago?”
“Appointment?”
“Hm. We promise to keep our children away if they are female. Capella should be kept away from the Xander family because she was born as our daughter.”
“Why should it be, mas El?” ask Estrella while laying herself on the chest of the field of the husband, pretending not to know the meaning of the words of the husband.
“Entahlah. I as a subordinate and a true man can only keep his promises,” said Elgara steady.
‘But if you keep this up, our daughter will have a hard time changing her life's fate. Capella can't be a helper in this life. At least Capella must shift the position of the female lead in order to live happily with the male lead, namely Dan. At any rate, Capella MUST be a member of the Xander family. Even if you have to use dirty and shortsighted ways.’
“Ella,” call Elgara suddenly.
“Iya, mas?” bumbling Estrella who just went geep daydreaming.
“I beg you please take care of the attitude if we meet with the Xander family again. I don't want you to make this good relationship with the Xander family so stretch.”
“But, El time...”
“One more,” cut Elgara quickly. The face of the wife who is still beautiful. “Please condition your view if you are around Mr. Darren. It makes me uncomfortable, when you look at Mr. Darren with that as if ...full of damba.”
‘Of course I see it so, because Mr. Darren is The Lord of my heart,’ Estrella replied inwardly.
“Iya, mass. Ella will Gadhul bashar, keep your eyes.”
