The Prince Ningrat's Preferred Wife
CHAPTER 98 The Past of Ei
The night was getting late, the air was getting colder and Ei started shivering. Hesapun hugged Ei so that the girl's body was getting warmer. He also added the branches he had gathered earlier this afternoon into the fireplace to keep the fire burning.
Come to think of it, this place is pretty much in animal habitation. There were some sounds of small animals and birds. Even now there was an owl sound so Ei felt like a horror impression. Fortunately, Ei and Hesa were both mountain children, so things like this they were used to hearing.
“Before I answer your question, you must answer my question.” Ei's eyes looked straight at Hesa's handsome face. While resting at night, the two chatted with each other to unwind because tomorrow morning they had to continue the journey again.
“Ehm, just ask,” said Hesa.
“As a noble descendant, is your life happy?” ask Ei and Hesa immediately understand where the question is going.
“Not really, there are times when I want to be a commoner, like now. You know myself I've given up my title, I can't believe now my social status is far below my beloved.”
“I also took off my title a long time ago, which is why I got a punishment like this. I was considered to tarnish the family's good name and become an outcast princess. We are the same now, no one is above or below.”
“You're right that's why I don't regret losing everything to be with you. Now explain to me why you chose to run away from all the luxuries you had rather than marry Koga. Is there another man you love? Definitely not me because at that time, I had not met you.”
Ei took a deep breath and began to tell him all the reasons why he chose to flee America and live in Indonesia. “Since childhood me and Koga grew up together. My grandfather and his grandfather agreed to betroth both of us, but since we were often together, I only considered him a big brother like my other older brothers. To be honest, our matchmaking was against my grandmother. Grandma wanted me to marry a native, not Koga and I agreed with grandma even though I had not met the man of grandmother's choice. Unfortunately, my grandfather still wants me to marry Koga.
“At school, Koga was so considerate of me, he was a popular student and his popularity made me even more uncomfortable with him. Many other noblewomen oppressed me just because I was the only woman close to Koga. I honestly don't have any feelings for him. He's nice, but still I don't like it. I'm tired of being pressured every day by Koga fans. Many took advantage of my beauty and noble titles for their own sake. They almost made me lose my life. Fortunately I can still survive ..”
“What do you mean?” Hesa furrowed her brows and half angrily heard the dark story of Ei's past. Abuse and oppression are common everywhere. However, Hesa never thought that Ei experienced the mysterious mass as well and became one of his victims.
In their old campus, Ei was known as a tough and assertive woman despite being troublemaker because of her monstrousness. Who would have thought behind it all Ei could ever be a victim of oppression just because Hesa's lover was favored by Koga.
“Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore now,” said Ei trying to calm Hesa down. It can be bad if this lover is angry just because of his dark story in the past. “I am not who I used to be. I used to be weak, because I was bound by the rules in my family that required me to remain polite and meek like your cousin Febi. It's not my style, so I can't stand it. But right now, I won't be easily bullied. So you don't have to find out about them anymore.”
“Can't do that, I won't forgive anyone who hurt you. If you don't want to tell me who they are, I can find out for myself after we get down from here.”
Hesa's face looked very angry. Ei fell silent, although he would not tell Hesa who had done evil to Ei, Hesa would still find them and certainly make calculations and give a proper reply.
“If you love me, you don't have to do anything, let alone get revenge. I admit, back then, I was getting sick of life here. Fortunately I also learned the culture and mythical myth of historical civilization in Java from my ancestors and I really want to live in the homeland of my grandmother. Right on my engagement day, I decided to leave and leave everything behind to start my new life. I guess ... You can guess for yourself what happened to me after.”
“You met my grandmother? That's why grandma likes you,” guess Hesa.
Hesa looked at Ei's beautiful face which seemed to shine more and more illuminated by the fireplace light. This handsome guy immediately hugged his girlfriend so anxious and proud to love this extraordinary woman.
“Maybe that's why I instantly fell in love with you at first sight. You have something that interests me. There are many of the best women in the world, but in my eyes, only you are the brightest among all the best women ever. It's pure praise, not dreadlocks.”
“Thank you, but I don't like to be praised, you're so much more.”
“I'm honest, I'm not more. I'm grateful that you rejected Koga, otherwise I'll regret a lifetime of not being able to have you. But Ei Ei Darling ... if you don't like this place, why did you come back here?”
“I feel too guilty about your family. We should not lie about our fake marriage. I don't have any face to face with your mom or grandmother. I don't think I'm a good son-in-law to them. That's why I have to come back here. In addition to avoiding blasphemy, I also want you to live a quiet life without me. Unexpectedly, you even came here chasing me.”
“That's because you've been destined for me since you were born, otherwise you would have accepted Koga as your husband. Only abnormal people reject Koga. But your rejection wasn't in vain, you got a lot more handsome and cool than him. That's me.” Hesa put the face as blank as possible so as to make Ei smile.
“Narcissistic basis!” ei said but it cannot be denied that what Hesa said was true. Take off a man as handsome as Koga and get a crazy man in Hesa's class.
On this sad night, Hesa was about to take advantage of the situation by kissing the friendly lips of Ei because the atmosphere was very supportive for romance. However, not even the two lips touched, Ei immediately shouted loudly because he saw a large Python snake behind Hesa's back.
“Aaaarrgghhh! The snake! There's a snake behind you!” ei and Hesa shouted straight back while grabbing a wooden branch from a brightly lit fireplace to repel the Python snake.
Out of nowhere the snake came, Hesa and Ei had no idea. What is clear is that the two were suddenly visited by a large Python snake and damaged their romance.
“Stay behind me Ei,” said Hesa carefully and move actively protect Ei. The great serpent could not get close to the two because in Hesa's hands was a wooden branch whose fire was brightly lit.
“Hesa ... it seems .. the snake has no intention of hurting us, there is something strange on its neck,” whispered Ei after she observed the movement of the snake moving right and left.
