The Prince Ningrat's Preferred Wife
CHAPTER 62

Hesa was speechless to hear Ei's curses about the mysterious grandmother figure that made the girl cry like this. “Tell me, what's grandma like? She's not your grandmother, but you cry this much when you remember her,” asked Hesa. He was trying to understand his wife's feelings.

Ei took a step back from her husband's bare-chested body. Ei took the blanket and put it on Hesa in silence, so that her husband would not get cold. The girl did not make a sound and was still sobbing. Sometimes he wiped his tears and walked slowly to the balcony. Ei looked back at the night ceiling and wished for another shooting star.

“She is not my grandmother,” said Ei started telling me, “early knew her I even hated her so much because she really tortured me. The evil grandmother ... once lived with me in a house that is now an orphanage. He's always getting angry, dabbing plates, tables and even throwing away the hard-earned food I made."

"Why could that be?" ask Hesa. "If she doesn't like you, why are you living together?"

"I don't know. After I crossed paths for her, she somehow kept following me and asked to stay with me. Since I am alone, then I don't mind. At that time, I had just graduated High School and worked part-time at a cafe. Sometimes I become a bartender in a bar but not every day.”

Ei stopped telling the story because he was ashamed of Hesa who finally knew how difficult life he had been living all this time. Hesa walked closer to where Ei was standing on the balcony railing while still wearing a blanket given by his wife.

“Why stop? Continue the story, I will be a good listener,” pinta Hesa.

“No, I'm ashamed. You must have thought that I was a night woman because of my work that often goes in and out of cafes and bars. Meet many striped men and be forced to serve them even though desperately I keep my honor from being tarnished by them.” Ei turned his face.

“I know you're not that kind of woman, I know what you look like more than you know. You even broke one customer's nose because he was rude to you.”

“Well how do you know?” ei asked surprised.

“I told you, I fell in love with you long before you knew me. I watched for myself when you beat up that guy. You're so cool, you know, that I've planned a whole bunch of ways to get rid of all the guys who tease you, but you handled them all so well without intervening. How I'm not getting fascinated with you, you're tough and charming.”

Ei started thinking after hearing Hesa.“'s explanation Don't you ... keep following me? Even our meeting when I took your burger wrong, you planned it, right?” ask Ei.

“If it was a coincidence, I had a fight with my father about matchmaking, and I didn't have time for breakfast. That's why I stopped by the side of the road and accidentally met you.” Hesa turned his wife's body back to the ceiling. He took off the blanket he was wearing and pulled Ei into his arms.

In other words, Ei and Hesa were sharing a blanket together while enjoying the beauty of a night studded with millions of stars. They both reminisce about the early days of their introduction until Ei finally returned Hesa's love. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two is still shrouded in mystery.

Until now, Ei does not know when exactly Hesa began to fall in love with her and it seems that her husband is harboring a big secret that Ei has not known. On the other hand, Hesa was also still curious as to who Ei really was, was she really just an ordinary girl among commoners. Because, Ei is very special, she is very different from other ordinary women. This wife has her own aura that other women do not have, especially from the Sudra.

“Continue your story about this grandma. You need not be ashamed because I love you complete with all your shortcomings.” Hesa kissed Ei's cheek gently while hugging her tightly.

“Grandmother was very chatty, and much demanding. You can imagine how tired I am when taking care of my grandmother and working day and night to meet our needs. He also kept asking me to memorize a lot of history books that I did not understand what he meant. And taught me many things. But it was too heavy and I began to despair because I could not bear with his hard attitude that forced me to be like his will.” Ei began to feel sad, he began to cry again when he remembered the figure of the grandmother he told Hesa.

“Do you kick him out?” guess Hesa.

“I'm evil right? I should have followed his will to be as personal as the grandmother wanted, but I refused and made Grandma's heart sad. Maybe he was disappointed in me so he decided to leave without seeing my face again. And that makes me sad . that grandma really likes stars. He wished he could see a shooting star with me. But never deliver.” Ei cried, he was not strong anymore because he felt very guilty to the grandmother who had existed in Ei's life even if only for a moment.

Hesa held Ei's body into his arms and helped wipe his wife's tears. Now, he understood why Ei cried every time he saw the stars, maybe his wife remembered the desire of the mysterious grandmother that Ei never fulfilled so that guilt appeared in Ei.

“Then, it's okay. After the competition is over. We're gonna find that granny together until we get her so you don't cry like this anymore. I don't want you to cry for other people while I keep your tears from coming out. Because every drop of your beautiful tears means so much to me, Ei. I don't like you crying. I want you to keep smiling and happy as long as I'm by your side.”

Ei looked at Hesa's face which immediately smiled sweetly at her. “Wuah look ... the oneng Ei has fallen in love with the noble prince,” Goda Hesa.

“Basic Ge-Er!” Ei pushed Hesa's body and went straight into the bathroom.

Hesa wanted to catch up and continue teasing Ei but her phone rang and her face instantly stiffened. “Yes already, I will go home after this,” said Hesa closed her call along with Ei who just came out from inside the bathroom.

“What's up? Why are you so much?” ask Ei.

“I have to go,” replied Hesa.

“Ehm go,” tell Ei to relax and instead be happy if her husband seems to leave here. That way, no one is judging him anymore. “Why is it still here? go!” expel Ei.

“You don't want me to accompany you? I can reason ... if you need me ..”

“No! You're a whim, I might not be able to rest in peace if you're here. Go home, I'm fine.”

Hesa was disappointed, and Ei hid her smile instead.

“Yes already, I will go home, do not miss me if I have gone from here,” he threatened.

“Idih, there are even you who miss me. Basic narcissist! Bye bye ..” replace Ei who teased Hesa.

Hesa's face was acutely coxed, instead, he put down Ei's blanket and put on Ei's black jacket without permission. “I'll leave now, and I won't return your jacket.” Hesa opened the exit door as her phone kept ringing leaving Ei laughing silently at her husband's behavior.
