The Seed of the Heir
Chapter 11

When Julian kissed her, Dea just kept quiet and let the man do what he wanted. After enjoying the tiny lips of Dea, Julian smiled again while staring at the two beautiful eyeballs of the girl.

However, a few seconds later, the man's facial expression suddenly changed after noticing something strange on both corners of Dea's lips. He touched the corner of Dea's lips that looked slightly blue and it made Dea scream in pain.

"Aw!" Dea brushed Julian's hand off.

"Ehm, I'm sorry." Julian looked worried and then said.

"What happened to you, Dea? Who's been doing this? Is this what Susi's mother did?" julian asked, looking closely at the two girls.

Dea shook her head slowly. "Bu-no, Mas."

Julian's eyebrows are wrinkled. "Who would dare to do this to you? Tell me," he continued.

Dea lowered her head while exhaling heavily. "Actually the one who did this was Brother Herman. He was upset and angry with me because I had made a mistake" Dea said.

Julian was silent for a moment. This was the first time he had heard that Herman had committed violence against Dea. Julian knew that Herman had never been rude to his sister.

"Dea, does this have anything to do with that night? If that's true, that means it's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked you to come" said Julian as he grabbed Dea's bowed face.

Dea was silent for a while. There was no way he would be honest about the heartbreaking tragedy to Julian for now. Susi may go berserk to him again and very forced Dea finally chose to lie. He nodded his head without daring to return Julian's eagle gaze.

"Yes, this is about my request to Susi that afternoon. Susi's sister won't let me see you. However, I kept insisting and finally Kak Herman was upset and then reflex hit me," Dea said.

Julian let out a heavy sigh and carried the girl into his arms. "I'm sorry, Dea. I shouldn't have asked you anything weird. If I hadn't asked you to see me that night, maybe you'd be fine" Julian said regretfully.

"I really do feel like this marriage has accelerated, so that I can take you away from that hell-like house. We'll be happy here, Dea. Me, you and our children. No more Susi the Grumpy, no more Virna the Sheep Sitter. It's just us and our future" Julian said, gently stroking the top of Dea's head, which was now leaning against the chest of his field.

For a moment Dea could forget his weight. Julian's warm embrace at the time made him feel safe and comfortable. Dea wanted to continue like that, even though she knew it was highly unlikely.

Not felt, the afternoon was approaching. Dea was getting ready to return to her brother's residence. Julian was going to bring the girl back. After cleaning his body in the bathroom he just woke up, Julian immediately invited Dea to go with him.

"Come," Julian asked as he extended his hand before the girl.

Dea immediately grabbed Julian's hand and they walked together, holding hands. Several times Julian glanced at Dea who was walking beside him. He was surprised because the girl looked different than usual. If usually Dea always seemed cheerful, but this time it was not. The girl was more silent and always looked glum.

"Dea, you're really fine, aren't you?" ask Julian full of investigation.

Julian's sudden question made Dea's daydreams crumble instantly. He looked at the man, still with his own eyes. "Yes, I'm fine, Mas" said Dea curiously.

Dea could only smile bitterly and then refocus on her steps.

After a while, they arrived in front of Susi and Herman's residence. It just so happened that Susi was in her yard. The woman looked busy lifting her dry fish clothes.

"Good afternoon, Ma'am," Julian said to Susi who had glanced at him with a lazy facial expression.

"How's your house? All of them finished?" ask Susi, have a pleasantry.

"Live a little more, Ma'am. There is still room to be tidied up before we occupy it" Julian replied steadily.

Seeing Susi who was busy tidying up her fish clothesline, Dea did not stay still. He immediately approached Susi and helped her put all the fish into their home.

After his work was handled by Dea, now Susi stood before Julian while looking at him fixedly. He crossed his arms across his chest with a serious look at his future sister-in-law .

"Heh, Julian! Why isn't your wedding accelerating, anyway? Than like this! Later it will not look good to the neighbors and other villagers," said Susi.

Julian smiled faintly at the woman's words. "Actually I want that too, Susi. But, how else? Everything's arranged, and our wedding's only two weeks away, right?" sahut Julian's.

Susi turned her eyeballs around for Julian's reason. Susi feels her life will never be quiet as long as Dea and Julian are unmarried. In addition to covering up the disgrace of Dea, he was also tired of living with the girl. Susi wants Dea to leave her simple house immediately.

Dea, who had just finished her work, came back to Susi and Julian, who were still standing in front of Susi's porch. Seeing Dea coming closer, Susi immediately asked Julian to go home.

"You better be home soon, Julian. After all this is almost dark," said Susi while glancing at Dea with a sour face.

"alright. I'll take care of you." Julian glanced at Dea with a warm smile and he immediately left the place and returned to the residence of his parents.

After Julian died, Susi pushed Dea's body into her house immediately. "I can't wait for your wedding day. Let everything be done! Hopefully, there will be no new problems. Hih, baby amit-amit," Susi said.

"New problem? What does Brother mean?" Dea gasped in shock and she was confused as to what Susi meant to say to her.

"Yes, I hope you won't get pregnant with that shirt boy. Could have happened. Have you never heard the news that is often seen on television? A girl became pregnant after being raped, "Susi replied plainly without thinking about how Dea was feeling back then.

"Sister! Why is he talking like that?" Dea's eyes glazed over and her heart seemed to be torn apart again.

"I'll just remind you, you stupid girl! Not that I'm praying for you a no-no" Susi grumbled.
