...💞 Happy reading 💞...
When the atmosphere is blue, Shaka and Kirana let go of longing after a long time disappeared and finally returned to their beloved family.
There was a sound echoing the knock of high heels from the floor, a woman stepped in a hurry seconds then suddenly stopped at the doorway, making everyone turn to her.
Fiona stood up clumsily, her breathing as if choked, her chest pounding with a bang as well as her tongue that felt groggy not to see when her mother got away from her sight, then it was obvious that Shaka was now smiling towards him.
"Captain! he's really back, how come?"
Instead of being happy her sister has returned alive and safe, Fiona is precisely hit by anxiety as well as various questions soaring in search of clarity. How can someone who is clearly Matti come back to life? Even he himself made sure that Shaka was gone! his mind doesn't believe in all of this.
"Rigger ... " Shaka called out with a very gentle intonation. If only he knew if his older brother was the mastermind of all the pumping disasters, he somehow felt the man.
Shaka walked quickly towards Fiona, then immediately gave her dear woman a warm embrace.
"I'm back .. Your sister has returned!"
Duarr! it was like a huge chunk of rock was hitting Fiona's chest at this moment, why did she feel the tightness that suddenly infiltrated her chest.
Fiona just silently let Shaka embrace her. But when he recalled the pain of his heart as well as the injustice he got because of his sister, the feeling that was originally crowded turned into anger.
"You shouldn't have come back, you should have just died!"
The grudge inside the woman's chest was burning again.
Not wanting everyone to be suspicious of how she felt, Fiona quickly acted a hundred and eighty degrees, as if happy with her sister's presence, Fiona returned Shaka's embrace as she sobbed to show her newness.
"Sister doesn't know what else to say Shaka .. Sister is so happy you can go home safely like this ... " Fiona let go of their arms, gently stroked Shaka's sturdy jaw and re-hugged her while sobbing.
"Don't cry ka," Shaka held onto Fiona's shoulders, rubbing her sister's wet cheeks.
"I'm back, there shouldn't be any tears" he said, shaking softly.
"These are tears of happiness Ka, you don't understand."
Shaka chuckled at her brother's pouting face, then hugged the woman back for a moment.
"Let's go in, the mansion is deserted without your presence ..."
...----------oo-------...
The entire family, Shaka and Kirana were sitting in the living room, listening to the stories of the two during their lost contact and seclusion all along.
"That's how, so I'm very sure that my accident was not a coincidence, but someone had planned it" Shaka said furiously, ending his long story.
Renata shut her mouth, so excited by the story her son told. "But what about your driver, sir, did you not survive?"
Shaka's face turned dim, his eyes flushed with the glass. "Unfortunately Mr. Muin did not survive the accident, he died ... "
Surprised by all, they also mourned the sad news.
"I have contacted the authorities and the family, hopefully there is further news and Mr. Muin can be buried properly" Liam explained.
In her seat Fiona was cold hot on her own, the coldness of AC as if it could not disguise her sweat which was now very frightened of her decay that would be exposed.
"Then, Kirana you yourself how can you disappear from the mansion son? you know the whole house is in an uproar when you find you're not in the room, where are you and why are you with Shaka?"
Silent, Kirana was just silent when she threw a series of questions from her mother-in-law. The atmosphere of this living room was instantly silent, Kirana glanced towards Shaka as if asking for help.
Understanding that, Shaka took a firm stance.
"Answer, son, why just shut up?" asked Renata who was waiting for her daughter-in-law to open her voice.
"Bun, stop. Kirana was still too shocked, she couldn't answer." Shaka rushed to remove the awkwardness.
"What Shaka says is true" said Helen later. "Renata, we better not ask too many questions, pity they both Shaka and Kirana must have traveled far they need a rest."
Kirana breathed a sigh of relief that Oma was on their side, so she did not have to explain what had happened to her. It's not that Kirana doesn't want Arkan's crimes exposed, but she believes in her husband having other plans for the criminal.

Turning to the room that they both occupied so far, right the month after Shaka was declared missing and Kirana also had to disappear, in this room had a lot of the interior that changed.
Kirana glared at every inch of the room she had longed for.
"There's been a lot of change, I'm scared right now."
"What are you afraid of?" tanya Shaka turned her gaze from outside the window towards Kirana.
"After everything we've been through, I've come to realize that if we live with people who can change because of power and wealth, we can live in a lot of intrigue and conspiracy, ignorant, mister?"
"As long as I'm here, no one will be able to do harm to us" Shaka said, calming his wife's anxiety.
"But what I'm worried about is you" Kirana said, looking down and hiding her sad face.
"Sir, I am only a country girl, an orphan, I have witnessed so much grief and through all the suffering of my life I could have gone through all that misery, but if it happens to you ... " Kirana shook her head, biting her lips firmly stemming the stifled sobbing.
"I will not be able to." shed the tears that he had been holding, both his shoulders shuddered in his tears.
The deg! shaka's chest suddenly rippled violently, he felt a feeling he had never felt before.
"Are you sure of what you said Kirana?"
"Why are you talking like that?"
"If you're sure, then I'm the luckiest man in the world."
Grep's! Shaka pulled Kirana in his arms, peeling repeatedly at the woman's head.
"I'm Kirana's son, I've hurt you before, humbled you but you're still willing to forgive and accept me, even very worried about me, don't you know I feel very lucky,"
"For this time I believe in the miracle of God and it is because of you, you have made this beast turn into a human again, Kirana."
"Don't say that." Kirana shakes. "Why humble yourself mas, you are human and have feelings like human."
Shaka smiled then pulled Kirana's head and then kissed the girl's forehead, long enough then moved to her cheek while saying, saying,
"I love you Kirana,"
Kirana widens her eyes, shocked at Shaka's confession.
"A-what did you say?"
"Yes Kirana I love you."
Kirana smiled with her teary eyes.
"Sorry, I just realized it now, and I'm just saying it now."
"Do you love me too, Kirana?"
With eyes getting dewy from being moved, Kirana nodded.
"I love you too."
Shaka could not hide his happy look, he again kissed the cheek next to Kirana while continuing to mutter the word love for his wife.
"I love you, for God's sake, I love you Kirana Lantern."
"I love you to" Kirana replied and then they hugged back in the moonlight that night.
