"Let's have lunch, little squirrel." Artya's voice distracts Rhiana. The man just entered the library.
"I'm curious about something, brother." Rhiana asked after standing up and welcomed Artya's hand outstretched to her.
"What?" Artya responded calmly after grasping Rhiana's hand affectionately.
"Why draw Scoth family heirlooms on me?"
"What do you think?" Artya asked back to tease Rhiana.
"I'm asking, Brother. And I'm serious." Rhiana was lazily arguing right now.
"You're so adorable, little squirrel." Artya pulled a thin smile looking at Rhiana.
Rhiana just grunted not wanting to avenge this hygiene enthusiast's boast.
"The tattoo clearly shows that you have been chosen from the beginning." Artya answered seriously.
"Chosen for what? Say it clearly, brother. I'm lazy to think."
"That means you've been chosen to be my companion, little squirrel."
"Wait a minute! Life companion? We're getting married later? Living together until old age, is that what it means?" Rhiana was quite shocked to hear what Artya said. Both of them had just arrived at the sofa table in the room. There was food served there.
"of course. You don't want to?" Artya now looked at Rhiana wanting to hear the answer now.
"I'm young, brother. My journey is long. I have a fiancee too."
While discussing this, Rhiana wanted to take the opportunity to get away from Artya. He could not continue to be bothered by this man. He still has a mission to guard Yeandre. So, it's good to stay away from Artya from now on.
"Your childhood engagement? Heh... I don't care!"
SRETT!
Artya with a single pull, made Rhiana sit on her lap.
"Can't be, brother." Rhiana denied in annoyance. His body was trying to escape from Artya.
"Do I have to kill him so you can choose me?" Rhiana goosebumps hearing Artya's intimidating voice in her ear. The movement of the spitting up stopped immediately.
"That's it. We'd better eat. I'm hungry, brother." Rhiana had to change the topic before it all became a hassle for her.
"Smart kid. We will discuss this later," Artya agreed with Rhiana before taking a small cut meat steak before to feed Rhiana.
"I can eat by myself, brother. My hands are intact." Rhiana turned her head to the side avoiding the spoon in front of her mouth.
"Open your mouth! Obey, and eat. I'll feed you until it's over." Artya of course will not soften on her little Squirrel.
Rhiana simply sneered and opened her mouth accepting the bribe.
"Have your hygiene disease recovered, brother?" Rhiana asked because currently Artya was eating and feeding her with the same spoon.
"Not yet." Artya answered briefly with a hand that was giving meat to Rhiana's mouth.
"Then, why isn't sister disgusted?" Rhiana swallowed her food before speaking.
"That's because of you!" Artya painstakingly cleansed Rhiana's lips with a tissue. How much Rhiana was treated like a child.
"Eng? That serious?" Rhiana was certainly not that easy to believe.
A person who attaches great importance to his own cleanliness like this tyrant did something unusual because of it? Rhiana did not believe it at all.
"That's it. Let's discuss more importantly," Artya now positioned Rhiana who was still sitting on her lap facing towards him.
Rhiana did not rebel out of curiosity as to what this man in front of her would say.
"As I said before, you've been chosen from the beginning to be mine. Until now I still don't understand why I got that tattoo on you. I don't know the reason at all. I just remember once getting a tattoo on a girl's back but I don't know like that girl's face.
I even spent my time searching for your whereabouts. Even a small trace of me is still looking for you. Now I get it. I unknowingly chose you to be my life partner from the very beginning. I hope you understand,"
Artya stared intensely at Rhiana who was also looking at her, but that adorable expression seemed to think of something.
Grep's!
Artya pulled Rhiana into her arms.
"I will wait for you until you choose me! But I won't let you get close to anyone else. Remember, one thing Rhiana... You're just mine. The only one's mine!"

"Sir, there's someone who wants to meet you." Felix reported nervously.
Artya's assistant was nervous because she felt that it had disrupted her employer's precious time. Moreover, the position of the two people really makes Felix try to be patient in heart. Of course he envied seeing the affection of the two people. When can he be like that, if every day he is always kept busy. Felix was frustrated. His work is getting more and more piled up.
"Who?" Artya asked unhappily. Very disturbing, he thought.
"I have to give that person a gift" Rhiana said in her heart.
Rhiana was happy, because from now on she felt uncomfortable with Artya who had been hugging her for an hour and more who was sitting on the lap of the man. The hug did not slacken at all and remained tight.
"He claimed to be Armstrong's adopted son, sir."
"Mother's foster son? Why did I just find out?" Artya took off her embrace but still left Rhiana in her lap.
"Eng? Who would dare to harass this man?" Ask Rhiana in my heart.
Rhiana is of course curious because there can be brave people who admit if she is the adopted daughter of Artya's mother. I don't know what kind of courage that person has.
"The head is huge!" Artya muttered before standing up.
"Eh... I'm not demoted?" Rhiana was shocked because Artya actually positioned herself in her koala-style carrier.
"I don't want my mood to be bad because of that bully,"
"There is this man" Rhiana said in her heart. He doesn't think it out. But, there were benefits as well, because he was also curious as to who the brave person was. And also... Rhiana has been locked up for 3 days. It's a good time to see what's behind that one-of-a-kind exit.
Felix did not dare to comment and simply led the way calmly.
...
"Heh... I think I know the reason he always bullies me." Rhiana's comments in my heart.
It turns out that the person who claimed to be the adoptive son of the hygiene enthusiast's mother Rhiana knew. Rhiana could also feel the displeased aura that that person emitted to her.
"Say your purpose!" Artya asked without further ado. The man was sitting on the couch there. Exactly faced with guests who disturb his peace.
"I have something for you, brother." The guest then thrust an envelope on the table towards Artya.
Felix stared at Artya for a bit before taking the envelope and spraying it with disinfectant then giving it to Artya.
"Open up for me, little squirrel." Artya gave the envelope to Rhiana. Artya's other hand gently rubbed Rhiana's head.
After opening the envelope, Rhiana raised next to her brow to open the contents of the paper in the envelope. It turned out to be a letter. It's a very neat handwriting.
"Do you know who wrote this?" Rhiana asked as she looked at Artya who looked stunned for a moment looking at the contents of the letter.
"That's my mother's writing." Artya remained calm. The man had now changed his position that had been leaning on the sofa by laying his chin on Rhiana's head.
"Hold for me. I want to read it," Rhiana simply nodded and positioned the letter to read with Artya.
...To my Little Wolf,...
...I hope you are always happy. I'm sorry for leaving you first. Though I really want to see which woman will be by your side. I wonder what kind of face that stupid woman would choose you who has a bad temper....
...Unfortunately, God loves you so much that you call your mother faster. Mother always prays best for you, my little wolf. Bahaga always, my son....
...My purpose is to write this letter because I want to tell you something. I'm sorry that I can only tell you through this letter. I adopted a cute and beautiful little girl. His nature is opposite to yours. I deliberately adopted her to accompany you later if she wasn't around....
...Her name is Sienna Pheneass. I taught her a lot just like you did, or maybe more because I spent more time with her when you weren't with me....
...I want you to grant one mother's wish, son. Please take care of Sienna because she is your sister now. She's a smart but weak girl. Protect him, son. Take care of her and love her like you do to me....
...Let Sienna stay by your side. I know you don't like strangers close to you. But please, don't treat Sienna like any stranger. Please yes, son. I expect a lot from you....
...From your mother who loves you....
