Sold To The Wicked Him

“Estrella, do you still remember me?”

Waving her hand on the poor old woman, she can’t seem to remember her. Shaking her head, the other lady just shrug her hand. Not knowing what else to do after seeing her old acquaintance.

She lived a life full of luxury on her hand. Getting whatever she wants for doing bad deeds. Although she did regret it after all things vanish from her sight, it was late. It was so late for her to do so.

Karma is surely strong. All deeds you did will have its way to you. So if you did bad things, await that the day would come and it would hunt you… in the time you never know. In the time you never expect…

“You… leave me alone! I- I don’t want… anyone! Anyone… to come near me… you fucking son of a bitch… they are all a fraud… they shall all be punished to death!!- cough ah cough”

Coughing, the woman can see that the person talking to her is already gone. Indeed, no person would dare get near her. After all, she would just brush them away.

Living her life with nothing but the old clothes she had, even the earing she was wearing lost its pare but she still insist on wearing it. feet full of dirt and scratch, the cemetery of where her mother and father lies is the only place she can go into.

No place other than that is safe for her. Since all the people she know wants her dead.

Who would dare help a woman who betray her friends? Who betray the people that give their trust to her?

” Cough cough cough”

Coughing once again, she hold her hear as she stood up. Walking with her zombie like steps as no energy can be gathered for her to stand up the way she used to before. The grace she had, the beautiful smile, the beautiful laugh, the shining eyes, all of those was gone. And what was left is a piece of broken heart. a piece of broken soul with nothing else left to do than survive a day who only wishes for her doom.

“What a fucking god damn life…” she murmured to herself as she let her hand touch the side of the half walk near the path.

…

[Lia and Lian are just six years old at this moment. With Lia turning seven two months after this]

“Aiden…”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Yes? Whats the matter?”

“I think… I saw someone I know…”

“Hmm?”

Visiting the tomb of Lilith, even though its been so many years after her death, the family never once fail to visit her. It was like a tradition made by the very own madame of their house.

After her death, the conclusion about where she would be buried was a bit messy. After all, they are not sure if what would Lilith prepare. But with her mother visiting she pleaded to help her get a place to bury Lilith with her father. And with Aiden’s arrangement, they are able to secure a spot in a local cemetery.

Visiting Lilith and visiting her grandparent is part of their annual traditions. And as for the father of Lea, it was in a quite villa where Sylphia’s ancestors was located. Even though Alejandro Krui isn’t part of the Klein, since they not know where his family was, all of them decided to grant him a land as the savior of Klein’s beloved young master, Sylphia.

“Nothing.. I just… think that I saw someone I know. But maybe im just tired”

“Let’s go? We need to leave. You still have to visit your father, right?”

“Yes, but aren’t we going to see your mother’s tomb?”

With Lia and Lian playing as the create a flower crown the would put to Lilith’s tomb, Lea and Aiden talked with each other.

“Yes, but at this time I think father is still there. Let’s give him some time with mom. I mean… at this very time he probably wants to just be with mom”

“Okay, then shall we go get some flowers in shop we can see?”

“Actually, I already prepared it. it would be delivered to us later”

Surprised, lea didn’t know that Aiden did that. but every time they would do something, lea can’t help but be surprised in many thing she didn’t know Aiden would do.

Pinching his cheeks that made the two kids giggle as they see how their father can do nothing with what Lea did. Although it may not seem like it, they are aware that Aiden is enjoying it as well.

His love for lea is something they will never get tired of seeing. For whenever the two are together, there is a very special smile they had on their face. As if they are the happiest at the moment.

“Shall we go now?”

“Sure, lets call the kids then”

But before they even call Lia and Lian, the two are already in front of the car.

“Done already!” The two giggled in excitement. After all, they always love to meet the tomb of their grandfather. For whenever they would visit that place, Lia and Lian will have the chance to play with Cecil. She is the daughter of Sylphia and Luther. The youngest child in the house of Klein and Sumidal.

“Alright lets go, it seems like the kids are looking forward in our travel”

Lea can’t help but have a smile on her face as Aiden let his hand rest on her waist, hugging her to his side.

“Mom, I think the air is cold”

“Hmm, now that you told me so, the wind surely is cold” responding to what Lian told him, Lia then raise her hand to check what her brother told.

“I can’t feel it tho” She frowned and suddenly gasp as Aiden reach her waist to bring her up near the clouds

“How about now?”

She giggled as she can feel the wind toucher her skin.

“Dada, higher!”

Excited as she feels like flying, a smile can be seen in Lea and Lian’s face. Indeed, by just seeing her smile like that also makes anyone smile in return.

“Alright that is enough, the clouds seems to be turning gray. Let’s head inside, shall we?”

Listening to what lea say, the sky is truly about to cry out. And there was nothing else they can do than to go back in the car.

“I wanna stay a bit more tho…” Lea mumbled soon as they went inside

“Ah, ice cream?” Lian mumble which makes Lea had a good laugh. Ice cream in a cold weather and a hot milk when the sun is so bright… her children does have a bit of an odd taste.

“Dada! Ice! cream!”

Her eyes sparkles in joy as she can’t help but imagine the tasty and yummy ice cream flavored with her favorite chocolate.

“Alright alright, lets drop by in the ice cream shop you both like”

“But you two needs to eat something first, okay?”

“Okay!” Lea shouted as Lian just giggled. So happy to see his dear sister being so lively.

A simple day for the family whenever Aiden have no works to do, a simple day yet so precious for each of them.

Indeed, life is so beautiful and so does loving someone. But living a life with you love ones are much more. A wish they once asked when they are a child, a wish they may have forgotten… but the fate they have now is a wish that do come true. From just a simple wish of a child to a reality they are living at now.

“Wah, its finally raining! Lian look!”

And as the rain pours, even if sound of droplets of water are loud outside, the only thing the family can hear is the happiness of the laughter they share together.
