The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 10

That afternoon, after finishing all his homework, Dea ventured to Susi who was busy chatting with her favorite daughter, Virna, in the television room. With great care, Dea spoke her meaning to her brother-in-law.

"Sister, can I get out?" asked Dea who was now standing beside the sofa, where Susi and Virna were sitting.

Susi and Virna turned to him. "Is your job done?" ketus Susi while turning her face back towards the television.

"Already, Brother," said Dea slowly.

Susi rolled her eyeballs. "Dish laundry, dirty laundry, cooking, bathroom?"

Dea nodded slowly again. "It's all, brother."

Susi turned back to Dea. "Where else are you going, huh?" susi asked as she scanned the body of the dea from head to toe and no part was left unturned in the slightest.

"I want to see Julian, brother, at our house. He said he wanted to continue working on the house" Dea said with his head bowed.

Upon hearing the girl's reply, Susi immediately grabbed Dea's hand and took her to sit on the sofa.

"Remember what I said, Dea! If you want your life to go as it should, follow my words! Don't let you tell Julian before your wedding day. You understand!" resolute Susi with a serious face looked at Dea.

Dea nodded her head slowly while sighing heavily "Yes, Brother. All right," replied Dea.

"Good!" Susi patted Dea's shoulder gently with a cynical smile. "Now go!"

Dea immediately got up and said goodbye to Susi and then sauntered out of the room.

"What's the matter, Mom? What happened to Aunt Dea?" ask Virna who was starting to be curious about the problem of Dea and her parents.

"Hush! Be quiet! Little boy should not know," Susi annoyed as she bent her face looking at her daughter.

"Always so! All cannot. This-it can't be" said Virna.

Susi chuckled softly at the complaints of the child. He gently stroked the top of Virna's head with a smile.

"Later if you're older, don't copy Aunt Dea, yeah! Look at him, it feels useless Dad and Mom sent him to school, it turns out he is still stupid and likes to rebel," said Susi.

Virna still bent her face. He was upset when his curiosity was limited by his mother. Though he was so curious what made his little family began to be attacked by sudden panic. Even her father who was not much of a whimper, was now starting to look strange in the little girl's eyes.

Meanwhile.

Dea continued to step towards the place where Julian was already waiting for his arrival. The distance between the sister-in-law's house and the house currently built by Julian is only a few hundred meters away. Just a few minutes walk away, Dea arrived at the place.

The girl stopped her steps and noticed Julian who was busy with his work from a distance. "Yes God! Strengthen my heart!" muttered Dea while rolling up the ends of her clothes.

Julian struggled to raise money from his work little by little. Until finally the money can be used to buy a large enough land. Where he can build his dream house with Dea.

Julian could have built his dream home without working hard. Just tell his parents, all his wishes will soon be fulfilled.

Yes, Julian comes from a well-respected and well-off family in the village. But that doesn't make him feel proud. He is more proud if he can build a dream house from his own sweat.

Julian is a hardworking guy. Never once did a complaint come out of the man's lips. As now, after working as a fisherman on a boat owned by his parents, he resumed work on his dream home.

"Mas" called Dea who was standing right behind Julian, who was busy sawing a board.

Julian turned his head after hearing the voice of the call from his heart. He smiled widely as he looked at Dea who was now standing right in front of him.

"Dea baby? Oh thank goodness. Mas had thought that Susi will not give you permission to meet Mas today," Julian said as he approached Dea who was still glued to his place.

Julian grabs Dea's hand and leads her into their dream home. The house is small, but comfortable enough to live in. There are two rooms, the living room and not to forget the kitchen space, for Dea to do his activities later as a wife.

"What do you think?" julian asked with a satisfied smile showing the results of his work to Dea.

Seeing the happiness on the man's face, Dea's heart was sick again. He felt that he had become a two-faced man who harbored a decay. It felt like Dea admitted everything, but the threat of her brother-in-law just made the girl's guts shrink back.

"The dea? Why are you silent? Don't you like it?" ask Julian later. Julian knitted his two eyebrows in surprise. Because since then Dea looks moody and not excited as usual.

"Bu-not that, Mom." Dea. "I like it, very much!" dea replied with a wry smile.

Julian breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved that Dea liked the work. The man was again excited and explained in detail about the room by room in their simple house to Dea.

"This is our room." Julian opened the door of a room where his window was facing directly towards the vast ocean. "I hope we can get through our first night here. In this place," Julian continued while gently touching Dea's reddish cheek.

Dea looked back at the room carefully. In the past, when Julian first built this house, he was so excited and a lot of dreams and hopes that he pinned in the place. However, after the fateful incident, all his views also changed.

His interest and enthusiasm for the house is no longer the same as it used to be. He felt the room was empty and his hope was lost.

Dea walked up to the window and stared blankly outside. For a long time he stood there blankly staring. Julian approached the girl and hugged her from behind.

"I love you so much, Dea," Julian whispered beside her ear.

Dea changed her position. He turned around and now faced the man. Julian smiled as he looked at his favorite ranum lips. He grabbed Dea's face and then put a warm kiss on the girl's little lips.
