Trapped in the Past
EPISODE 41

...HAPPY READING...

Athera is a little sad. He will go back to the time of Regaz and surely he will leave his family again and that is forever. Of course he did not want to part with his father and mother.

"Athera.." call Regaz.

Athera turned to Regaz who was lying on his bed, "Yes."

"Before I leave, may I do one thing?" Regaz asked Athera for permission.

"What?"

"You know that woman who looks like Gresha?" ask Regaz and be taken by Athera.

"A few days ago I sent him some food, I've been scraping through his life information. And he lives so miserable, can I help him? I know she's not Gresha, but every time I remember her face, I always remember Gresha who always suffers. After all, my love for Gresha is only as a sister" explained Regaz. He spoke very carefully. He was afraid that Athera would be jealous and disappointed after hearing his words.

Athera hugged Regaz then closed her eyes, "Do it."

"You're not angry, are you?"

"I get angry when you say, send him food, I'm jealous! But, your kindness melts my anger," Athera said punctuated with a small ruckus.

Regaz smiled faintly then kissed the top of his wife's head. He would give a house and raise Grace's rank then he would escort Athera to meet Hares and Hareta, the last meeting before they returned to their worldly times.

...               ***...

This morning Athera went to her parents' house. Quite a lot they talked about and again Regaz accompanied him. After all, if they return to that era, Athera believes Dave and Athera Krystalian are able to fill his absence. Regaz himself had his secretary raise Grace and give the girl a big house. 

After a long conversation with both of his parents. Athera pulls Regaz away from her parents on the grounds of wanting to see her long-uninhabited room. However, Athera brings Regaz to his father's room.

In the hidden room, where the mirror is. They entered with Regaz still silently following his wife's direction.

Athera had entered the room. He crouched closer to the wooden crate containing the mirror.

"Are you sure you're coming back now?" ask Regaz

Athera nodded steadily, "Yes!"

Regaz reviewed a faint smile and closed his eyes, saying a phrase that Athera believed was the mantra of the mirror caller.

Athera widened his eyes when the mirror debris lifted itself in the air and then fused with the stage. Absolutely stunning. And now, the mirror had stood firmly before them as it had been without any sign of damage at all.

"We're going to open a new page, every time we enter a mirror and end up in my day, there's probably going to be a surprise, because you've used the mirror three times" Regaz said with a wry smile.

Athera clasped Regaz's hand. " What do you mean? Don't scare me!"

Regaz chuckled, irritating Athera a little and letting go of her clutches. " It's gonna be okay. All the problems we have faced will disappear like nothing happened, only we will remember what has happened so far, he said, so don't be surprised when the dead appear again in front of you" Regaz said.

Athera frowned as he was completely confused by Regaz's words. " You're confusing me."

"Come, my Empress," Regaz reached out to Athera. He welcomed Regaz's hand.

Regaz stepped closer to the mirror and a moment later their bodies entered the mirror. Just swallowed.

...****...

...A FEW MONTHS LATER......

Athera was now sitting on a sofa with servants around her watching the baby in her cradle. Their gazes sparkled when they saw his newborn daughter and only one month old in her carry.

"It's so pretty" praised the waiters. Athera responded with a smile.

Krieet...

The door opened without a knock and said excuse me. All the attention was on the door of Athera's room. Regaz stood there, coding the servants to go out and leave with Athera.

"We'll excuse you, Your Majesty," said the servants and Athera nodded.

Regaz closed the door and approached his wife. "Daddy back baby~~"

Regaz kissed his daughter on the cheek and then kissed Athera and then sat down next to his wife and watched her son.

His life completely changed after entering the mirror. Athera remembers being out of the mirror and being in this age. Everything really changed. Dave's making Regaz's empire pretty fucked up. Dave divorced all Regaz's concubines including Gresha, which was bad enough because Regaz had many concubines to strengthen his kingdom because he married concubines with distinguished families and was good at several fields. Then he also made trouble for Alexus. For that Regaz was very busy dealing with all this chaos, even he went to the kingdom of Alexus to make peace with being an ally. And to his surprise, both of Athera Krystalian's parents came back to life. Athera was very happy with the surprise. At least he can try to love Athera Krystalian parents like his parents. And Retha has now engaged with Tier while Ruoxi is still single because she is crazy about her knowledge of the future. Oh yes, and only Ruoxi knew from the beginning of the change in attitude of the two leaders. Since the first time Athera used a mirror until back here after Athera Krystalian and Dave to this kingdom.

"She will be a formidable Queen, I'm sure there will be many Kings who will come to conquer her heart" Regaz said as she poked her daughter's cheek.

Athera glared at Regaz then looked back at her daughter, "Ck! Just returned from royal duties after a few days but didn't bring any souvenirs."

Regaz turned to Athera and found his wife pouting. "I brought souvenirs," said Regaz.

"Where?"

Regaz stood up and took Athera to his feet, leading his wife to a large window in her room.

"You know what my workers are building out there, for a few days?" ask Regaz while pulling the curtains.

"No, I didn't notice because I was busy looking after Athena" said Athera, smiling at her daughter.

Regaz smiled then stroked the long hair of Athera. His wife looked really exhausted.

"I made a promise to myself and I just fulfilled it. Look at that," Regaz said as he looked straight ahead.

Athera widened her eyes, tears just falling through her cheeks.

"I hired the Pygmalions to make it, this is my gift to you, dear," Regaz said tenderly.

Athera could see, a glittering statue soaring with a face that seemed to be standing firmly there. The statue is a statue of him.

"You.."

Athera did not continue his words because Regaz immediately hugged his shoulder with one hand and then looked straight ahead at each other.

"Athena Flous Esse is proof of our first love and the second is the statue. You are my beloved woman, Athera," Regaz said with firmness.

"You're doing all this for me, but I haven't done anything great for you at all" Athera said.

Regaz smiled faintly. "With you by my side and then putting your life to bear our child, it cannot be compared to what I did. Everything I've done has been nothing to do with what you've been doing for me."

"You're a very romantic husband, Your Majesty," praised Ahera then leaning her head against the chest of Regaz's field.

...SERIATE......
