A pair of fathers and daughters seemed to be taking a leisurely walk away from the residence that was felt no longer to hold the comfort of a place inhabited by a family.
Regardless of the surroundings, they were seen walking side by side while holding hands. It looks like closeness that seems to have no distance, but this is the first time they have time and intimacy together.
Lies, if Rayan does not feel happiness even though she has to play the role of Yu Rayan. At least he had a chance to know what it was like to be loved by a father.
"You don't hate this useless guy, do you?" yu Ran Yuan said. He was once helpless when he was a father.
Rayan smiled hearing that. "Dad loved me a long time ago, didn't he?" instead of answering, Rayan asked another question.
"certain. Don't tell me I don't love you. I just don't have the ability to be brave. I'm too cowardly!" with an increasingly soft tone. He was sad and angry at himself.
Rayan smiled again. "If you really loved me. Then, I have no reason to hate you." halted his steps, then turned to look sincerely at Yu Ran Yuan. "The bad past, is no reason for someone to arouse hatred or resentment. Sick indeed... But if there is no past whatever the story... Whether it's good or not the past... Then, there will never be ourselves here now! Aren't we?" he said which was able to make Yu Ran Yuan tear up because he was touched, then he pulled the beloved princess into his arms. On a loving swab of her daughter's long hair with an occasional kiss of her affectionate forehead.
It is undeniable, these are the moments he is most looking forward to in his life. Even though she has another daughter. But, it would be different if the other daughter he could not bestow his affection with as much as his other daughter. And now he will not miss the opportunity that has been given.
"Huhuhoo... I'm hugged... Huhuhoo... I'm hugged... I didn't know it would feel this comfortable! Plus, Yu Rayan's father was handsome. Just incredible! Ahaha!" happy in the heart. He simply returned the middle-aged man's embrace to take the opportunity to participate in his role as a child.
After all, he had never been in a position like this. Usually, he could only hug his two best friends. And, obviously it will be different.
"Thank you... I'm so grateful to you, son!" a single tear came out from the corner of his eyes that were closed with all the happiness that was bursting. "If only your mother were here. My happiness will certainly be complete." he continued scorching while imagining his past with his bad attitude first to the woman who until now still fills the space of his heart.
"Eum... Daddy!" Rayan looked up in the arms of her father. "Since I was a child I never heard of my mother. Wh why? Can I hear it now?" pinta Rayan wants to know.
It was not that I wanted to have both of Yu Rayan's real parents, but just wanted to know. Who knows, when he travels later he will get a chance to meet the mother of the owner of the body. If the woman is still alive. He was eager to see what the woman who gave birth to the current owner of his body looked like. Is it going to be as blankets and as adorable as his body right now?!
"Hhh... Sure oes. Why not." a shady smile was shown. "But before that. We have to go somewhere first. That's where we'll talk about whatever you want to hear. Agreed?" yu Ran Yuan's. Rayan nodded.
After that, they go to the place they want to go.
This is where they are now. In a small house at the very back end of the Yu residence, where the place had not been visited for a long time even the place was very unkempt. It used to be a small pavilion that became the playground of the three boys in the Yu Family - the Yu Ran Yuan-generation, Yu-ran generation, but the place was no longer used since the three boys began to be preoccupied with education to maturity and in the end the pavilion was abandoned and forgotten.
However, not with Yu Ran Yuan. He always remembers. Because, by being in the pavilion, he can reminisce about family harmony before the mother left for good. Until slowly the pavilion he transformed into a secret place by tidying up the inside but not for the outside. Outside he let it look bad.
"Gee... This the place?" a little surprised to know how unkempt the pavilion was plastered before his eyes.
"Haha... Don't be surprised that. It's just the outside look. You'd be more surprised to see what's inside." His hand moved to open the rickety door in front of him. "Come here. Come in and see." Yu Ran Yuan asked.
They also stepped in. And sure enough, Rayan could not if not surprised. Inside it is beautiful. There are many works of art there, ranging from sculptures to paintings. Everything is beautifully displayed there. Rayan who incidentally likes beauty is immediately hypnotized by what he sees.
Closing his gaping mouth wide, he said spontaneously. "Haa... Holy hooch! How lovely! This is so awesome!" walk up to one of the statues made of jade. "See this...!" handle it carefully, then walk again to another piece of art. "This too... Geez, I was at a loss for words.." it continued like that until he was satisfied, while Yu Ran Yuan was just watching the princess's behavior from the chair he was sitting by the window. He was happy to see what was in front of his eyes.
"Rayan is very similar to you. Where are you now... I'm really sorry and I miss you." he muttered softly without taking his eyes off of Yu Rayan.
After looking around, now Rayan took a seat beside Yu Ran Yuan who was blocked by a table.
"Huh! It's stunning! I'm so impressed! This... Huh... I can't say anything! This... Whoa!" amazed Rayan not covered up.
Yu Ran Yuan smiled as he picked up a scroll that was located inside a beautifully intricate carved box on a table not far from where the man was sitting. He opened the box and took the scroll inside.
He looked at the pink scroll for a moment with sadness and longing. Rayan was just watching him from the side. Yu Ran Yuan took a deep breath before starting...
"Look. This is the picture of your mother's face that I made." the scroll was handed and Rayan accepted it.
He caught a glimpse of the father who owned the body before he finally opened it. Inside the scroll was a portrait of a girl who was quite cute and adorable, Rayan who just saw it until he could not express his admiration for the painting. Portrait of the face of the mother of the owner of the body is like a fantasy or human imagination. As he often saw in the modern world. Anime, manga, and so on. It's amazing in his opinion and don't forget who painted it.
"Yan Yue's. That was his name." said Yu Ran Yuan with eyes continuing to look towards the painting that was being held by Rayan. Hearing that Rayan had a quick glance, then again looked at the painting of a woman who turned out to be named 'Yan Yue'.
"He was very young when he became a servant in this residence..." Yu Ran Yuan seemed to start telling stories, his eyes began to look far into the past. Rayan just cheered it.
"I don't remember exactly how old he was... But, apparently. At that time, he was younger than me. Much younger... Because at that time I was married to Lin An Lie. But, not yet blessed with a child.." his tone was sad as if it was the beginning where he would pick up his sadness.
"He was the one who attracted the most attention to the occupants of the Yu residence. Because, her extraordinary look is beautiful and adorable. I often hear from the talk of other servants, if he often tried to change his appearance to be ugly. But unfortunately, that didn't happen. Her beauty could not be covered even though she covered her with mud or dirt. Honestly, I was fascinated by what he used. As if there was no gap to make it ugly. Even if he tried it. Hehe.." the man chuckled considering what was on his mind. Rayan only smiled faintly in response to the attitude of the father of the body owner who seemed to love the tiny and cute woman so much.
"Yu Ran Yuan, so loved Yan Yue! True love!" batin Rayan said sweetly.
"His presence here, little by little disturbs my mind and my heart. Moreover, even though I am married to Lin An Lie. But, I don't have the sense that it should be among married couples. Our relationship was good, but not as good as my two older brothers' relationship with their wives. We just play the role as we should. But, I know Lin An Lie put a taste on me. Unfortunately, I'm not that good to want to reply when I know my heart is not engraved by name" he said in a deep tone.
"Yet, your mother... He's different. Especially after he was assigned to be my servant with several other people. Where all my needs are taken care of by him, even with others... Ahaha! I couldn't cover my happiness about it, as if I was being completely taken care of by my own wife. There is always a chance to see it up close." the smile was like a flower blooming in the spring.
"She can always make me want to see her... He can always make me want to hear his voice... He can always make me want to be close to him... However, honey... Your mother didn't put a single taste in me. It made me feel that it was karma because I ignored Lin An Lie's feelings for me.." his hands clenched involuntarily. Rayan finds emotions that are not accepted.
"Honestly... I can't accept that fact. I can't accept that it's karma for me... Because it's... I'm mad! I'm pissed! I thought as if fate would not allow me to be happy with my own love! Therefore, I was determined to pursue it until I could!" it was straightforwardly full of emphasis on the sudden enslaving taste.
Rayan did not speak. He let Yu Ran Yuan get everything out. Although, it was actually not important to Rayan. At least, this could be additional knowledge for him. Although not science.
"My desire is too strong... So, every time he's within my reach. Makes me always want to pull it in my arms." Rayan shook her head slowly, because she could not believe that this handsome middle-aged man in front of her had a huge obsession.
"Until that day came." now the eyes were staring at Rayan deeply, as if to channel everything he felt even if he could at once with his memory of the day in question.
"Day... Where I took everything from him... From woman... From Yan Yue.." her jade, Rayan listened. "I did it just as my wife was visiting her family residence for some reason... Doing it in my room, when I ordered him to provide drinking water as my alibi.." his tone began to drift like regret but also not.
"I ignored her rejection, because on the other hand the shadow about my karma of Lin An Lie's love that I couldn't reply made me dark in the eyes. I can't take it! I can't!" his forehead frowned, showing the emotions that had happened that day.
"I took what he's been guarding all this time! I snatched! I enjoyed it happily because it turned out I was the first for him... Until I forget that he was hurt because of me.." his initial stirring intonation, dimmed at the end of his sentence.
"Miris.." Rayan's inner pity.
Yu Ran Yuan smiled sadly. "That night was also the last night I saw him." looked at Rayan again with his own eyes. "He's gone. I assume he left in the morning blind from my room. The room that has always made me remember. Everything I do, I remember. How I held her in my arms." Yu Ran Yuan told a clear story without hesitation, even though his daughter was young. While Rayan did not realize it, because he was still carried away feeling of his age in the modern world.he was 27 years old, it was clearly not a taboo thing to listen to. After all, he often even saw it in person.
"His departure is bothering me! I was angry that he left the Yu residence without saying goodbye! I realize why it happened. But, I still can't take it! So, I assigned my confidants to look for him. Look for it until you can." There was frustration in his words.
"For a long time I waited. Try to be patient and wait... I miss her so much that I always think of her. Worse, I got into a relationship with Lin An Lie while thinking of him as Yan Yue!" the jeda. "Fortunately, Lin An Lie didn't know that..." Rayan held her breath hearing it. His disbelief grew a little when he heard the man's story.
"Gruesome!" peepukas.
"Until the day I wait comes... My people found it! Hearing that I immediately rushed there leaving all kinds of reasons not to be suspected." his breath was heard hunting. "And in the end I got back to him. My longing I can say is terrible! I even just vented it when I got there..." Rayan had trouble gulping her own saliva. He understood the meaning of the word 'express. "I don't even remember how many times I did it." she added.
"What I can't believe, is... I got my heart shut, because I don't want to lose it again... Huh!" lirih said it felt slashing. "But in the end I lost him too." he said.
"I tried to accept his departure even though it was difficult. Very hard.." sounds heavy. "To the day that one of the servants I knew was close to your mother, came to see me in this pavilion. Because, you know I'm here a lot." Deep and long breaths. "She came and carried you in a blanket to make her invisible." a smile of happiness was implied on her lips. "When I was told that it was my son with Yan Yue. I can't stem the happy tears that burst out from my heart. Although on the other hand I am also sad because your mother did not come back with you. As if your arrival here was a form of unwillingness to hold me accountable." now that smile had turned heartily. "But I understand quite well how he feels. It's all my fault... It was my fault for not being able to suppress the feelings of love I first felt. So, there is only a wound that imprints in him." moving looking affectionately into Rayan's eyes.
"Your presence in my life... I consider it the most beautiful gift from him. Because, at least... She didn't abort you when you were present in her womb. Your presence, too, is a strong reason for me to try to take her away from my life." he said sincerely.
"I can only pray and hope. He could find the happiness he wanted in place of the suffering I inflicted on him. That's more than enough!" that smile was sincere. "And the rest, you heard it briefly in the family boardroom. Haah..! Chaos ensues when I reveal who you are to the whole family. I even forgot that Lin An Lie was pregnant with my son at that time." he said.
"A sad story and... I don't know, I don't know what the right word to describe it is. Fortunately, that's not really a story about my mother. I don't know what this feeling would be like if it were true about me. Thank goodness I just borrowed Yu Rayan's body. Sorry, Ran Yuan's father." his inner voice exclaimed in concern and a little guilty.
He rolled back the painting and returned it to its owner. The middle-aged man accepted it, then put it back where it was.
After that, they decided to end the conversation because they felt they had not had lunch. They left the pavilion and returned to the main residence.
