The Lord's Concubine
Recognition of Vania 2

"What's? W-what do you mean, Vania?" asked the confused King.

Not only the King, but everyone in the room was astonished. They watched Vania who was crying softly without saying a word.

Vania grabbed a chair and sat there covering her face with both hands. Seeing this, the King ordered all the servants still in the room to come out immediately.

The servants flocked to leave the room and after the servants had left, the King grabbed a chair and sat down next to Vania who was still sobbing. He stroked the woman's back gently and he hoped that Vania could explain what had really happened.

"What's really going on, Vania? Aren't you pregnant? The proof was yesterday you went to the Obstetrician's practice, right?" ask the King gently so that Vania is not offended.

Vania raised her head with tears still streaming down her cheeks. He looked at the King with a sad look at once worried.

"King, you've misunderstood. That day I did go to the Obstetrician's practice, but that doesn't mean I'm pregnant. Tania invited me to that place to check my current condition is not good. I am sick now, King! And not pregnant," said Vania in between sobs.

"You sick?!" pekik King. "Vania, tell me what you're sick and don't tell me your pain is severe. I don't want that, Vania!" the King was worried. He grabbed Vania's hand and looked at the woman.

Slowly Vania nodded her head. "Yes, King. I was sick and the doctor said I had to go for surgery because there was a cyst in my uterus. That's why I can't serve you well. Every time you touch me, I always feel pain" said Vania as she wiped her tears.

The king rubbed his face violently. "Why don't you tell me the truth, Vania. If I had known that you were sick, maybe I wouldn't have forced my will and we could have found a way out together."

"I'm afraid, King! I even dare to check it out now. And the doctor said it was too late and I had to have surgery soon" Vania continued.

The king exhaled heavily then stroked both of Vania's cheeks gently. "Just calm down, dear Vania. Trust me that you'll be fine."

The king grabbed onto Vania's body then hugged her tightly. Several times the man placed his warm kiss on Vania's head.

"I'm not doing well, King. You don't know what the doctor will take from my body. My womb, the King," Inner Vania was still sobbing in the man's arms.

"Yes, already. Since the servants have already cooked a lot for today, we should just enjoy the dish and we distribute it to all the residents in this house."

The king again called his servants and then distributed the dishes that had been cooked with a large portion of it to all the inhabitants of the magnificent house, including Farra.

Bu Eni knocked on Farra's room door and handed the food to her.

"This is your part, son. Take it, don't you want to see your sister today? Just bring the food as souvenirs," said Bu Eni with a smile.

Farra was no less happy when welcoming him. "Thank you, Mom. Aksa must be very happy" said Farra.

"Eh, you know what? It turns out that Miss Vania is not pregnant, it's all just a misunderstanding" said Bu Eni while chuckling softly. Especially when he remembered how the King's facial expression when he heard that the woman was not pregnant.

"Well, why is it like that?" Farra knitted her two eyebrows in surprise.

"Hmm, I don't know. Maybe because Mr. King is impatient to have children, so he hopes Miss Vania will soon become pregnant, when in fact it is not," said Bu Eni with a soft laugh.

"Ehm, yes I have. I have to go back, I have a lot of work," continued Bu Eni while patting Farra's shoulder with hair and then waltzing away leaving Farra there.

"Good, Mom."

After Bu Eni left and returned to his place, Farra prepared to head to the front yard where the Lord King's errand driver was waiting for him.

Upon arrival in the front yard, Farra turned to the right and left, looking for a driver who would take her to the new residence of Aunt Nurmala and Aksa.

Not long after, a middle-aged man approached her with a warm smile.

"Son Farra, right? You were assigned by the Lord King to deliver you. Come in" said the man, opening the door of his car.

"Thank you, sir."

Farra got into the car and the driver immediately drove his car to the new residence of his aunt and sister.
