The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapters 188. Life is complete.
Graciella put on the nightgowns they had brought from Anali's house to the hotel which was quite far from their residence. Anali goes with them while Ronnie, she's coming because there's something she has to do.
This hotel is not a luxury hotel. It is just a simple two-star hotel. But this hotel is the nicest one in the place and enough for them to rest tonight.
Graciella brushed Moira's hair slowly. After playing it, Moira immediately took them to the hotel to be able to spend the night with them. Currently Ailin was already in her room, so Graciella was only alone with Moira.
“Mama, Mama want to take Kaoru away huh?” moira asked suddenly. Graciella who was still styling her son's hair instantly fell silent for a moment. With a smile she continued to tidy up her son's hair.
“Where did Moira know that?” ask Graciella. It had not been usual to call this little girl in front of him by the name of Kaoru.
“Kaoru asked grandma. And grandma explains that now is the time Kaoru lives with Mama and Papa. Ma, if Kaoru is with Mama, what about mom and dad?” moira asked who turned her body to face Graciella so she could see Graciella behind her. Graciella heard it speechless.
“If Mom and Dad come with us too. Will Moira be happy?” ask Graciella.
Moira immediately showed a maximum smile showing her regular white teeth, she nodded loudly. Graciella smiled shadyly after seeing her son's answer.
“But what if it can't. Will Moira come with Mama and Papa or with mom and dad?” ask Graciella to poke her son's chin.
The flickering eyes with dark black beads that were directly down from Xavier were staring at Graciella with a silent look. Graciella saw her reflection from those beautiful eyes. Trying to guess what her little girl was thinking that was even wiser than her age.
“Kaoru loves Mom and Mom, Kaoru also loves Papa and also Daddy. Kaoru is confused,” Moira said with a shrunken face. He also seemed a little sad, not wanting to choose between his mother's father or his father and his mother.
Graciella saw it become unpleasant. He asked her a very heavy question.
“Mama, why don't mom and dad just move here with Kaoru?” moira asked with a questioning face but more hope. Graciella bit her lip. Of course he could have stayed here, but it was impossible for Xavier. However, he is still bound by his promise as a state servant. It can't be that easy to move, let alone in this place.
“Moira likes to be here?” ask Graciella.
“Yes! Kaoru likes it here. Kaoru has many friends. Mama has to meet Kaoru's friend. There's ten!” said Kaoru who showed all the fingers she had on her little hand. He looked at his finger. His eyes seemed amazed he had many friends.
“Really?” said Graceilla who feels funny with her son's behavior.
“Yes! If Kaoru comes with Mama and Papa to town. Kaoru has to go away from Kaoru's friend and Kaoru is scared,” Kaoru said again with her face and cute voice.
“Fear? Scared why?” graciella asked with her child's chin lowered.
“Fear if later Kaoru has no friends. People say the city is crowded, huh Ma? Kaoru was afraid that they would not be friends with Kaoru. Later Kaoru will be alone,” said Moira innocently.
Graciella was shocked by the worries her son was instigating. It turned out that her little daughter held a lot of thoughts.
That made Graciella confused. Of course their main goal is to pick up Moira and return to be a whole family. But they never thought about whether Moira would come along with them. Moreover Moira suddenly says ‘as it used to be.’
“As before how?” ask Graciella. Does Moira still remember the incident that happened to her first.
“There used to be an uncle who once scolded Kaoru because Kaoru kept crying. He scolded Kaoru with a voice so loud to Kaoru that Kaoru was silent. Kaoru was afraid of such a person, and the uncle was from the city, Ma. Ma, Kaoru doesn't like it in town. We are here, yes Ma, with Mom and Dad,” Kaoru said again.
Graciella who heard that was silent. He could not answer what Graciella had asked for. Saying yes, it means he'll part ways with Xavier. But refusing would make her son sad.
“Ehem, Papa can enter?” ask Xavier who is standing at the door to connect the hotel room that does have a door to connect it.
Because Xavier's voice made Graciella and Moira turn their eyes towards the sound. They smiled at the arrival of Xavier who was approaching them. Xavier could catch the stifled smile that adorned Graciella's face. There are things that hide in his feelings.
“Papa!” welcome Moira. Xavier immediately stood up near Moira. He looked at his son sitting on the edge of his bed facing him.
“Moira know what Papa's job is?” xavier asked with a friendly smile that rarely came out. Only Graciella and Moira can she show it.
Moira shook her head strongly. He doesn't know what his papa really is. If his father, he already knows, he's a fisherman.
“Papa is a soldier. Because Papa is a soldier. Papa cannot just go and stay anywhere because Papa must be ready and serve, carrying out the tasks given to Papa. And at this time Papa is assigned to the city,” Xavier said explaining slowly to his little daughter so that Moira could understand.
“So we still have to go to the city?” asked Moira again innocently.
“True. Papa has to keep this country in town. Otherwise something dangerous will happen. After all, papa promised no more bad guys would dare to touch Moira. Papa is also sure Moira will have more friends there, more than ten because Moira is a very sweet girl,” said Xavier who pinched his son's cheek. Of course making Moira immediately laughed because he was teased by his father. Graciella also became infected with her son's laughter.
“But Mom and Dad, can you come?” ask Moira again. Still thinking about her father and foster mother.
“Sure, of course father and mother can come if they want to come along. Mama and Papa will ask Dad and Mom to come to the city, how?” ask Xavier.
Moira seemed to analyze for a moment what Xavier said. He immediately nodded in agreement. Xavier smiled slightly widely and was immediately greeted by a hug by Moira.
“Now sleep, it's night.” Xavier immediately carried his son and immediately laid him on the bed. Moira nodded in agreement to what her father had said. He immediately pulled the blanket made by Graciella. Graciella instantly kissed her little girl's forehead.
“Mama, accompany Kaoru to sleep. Mom usually sleeps with Kaoru,” pinta Moira. Graciella looked towards Xavier who nodded in agreement.
“Alright, mama will sleep with Kaoru tonight. Let's go to bed,”tra Graciella who immediately took her place. Xavier has walked away from Graciella and Moira. Let them have longer together.
Graciella who was sleeping beside Moira was startled when suddenly this little girl hugged her body, curled up beside her. Graciella saw the indulgence shown by Moira just smiling. He stroked his straight black son's hair. It feels so comfortable and relieved. His life is complete. He already knows where his son is, how he grew up, and also how he is doing. All of this made him very happy. I think he doesn't need anything anymore. Just praying this happiness lasts forever. For a moment, it wasn't just Moira who fell asleep. He also felt the comfort he felt.
