 “OKAA-SAN!! TASUKETE”

 

A silent chamber was filled with screaming and panting as a young figure was left alone stirring and continuously breathing heavily and crying as her body was covered with sweat as her nightmare haunts her down

 

*dream*

 

 

“Are you sure she ran this way?”

“I am certain of it “

Voices of men and women was heard as she runs towards the river bank glancing around fearful hearing the way the footsteps rapid and hung to catch her,

 

Panicked, frightened as she stumbled down and

 

“We got you”

 

“Yes, sire that’s the one, kill her, she’s a witch” one woman shouted from the group of villagers, she can see

“She will bring curse to our village” another  yelled  from the group and she trembles in  fear, she knows this is her end  and  she’s afraid of  dying, she needs  to beg, beg  for mercy

 

“Please... Please I beg you” was her words as her eyes were filled with fearful tears and her breathing become labored

 

“Don’t listen to her” “she’s a witch”

“Kill her!!Kill her!! Kill her!!”

“We have orders, but we will take her along with us”

 

The man snapped the demands of the villagers as he held her tightly on her hair,and

Afraid  of  what  fate she will  have  by the thoughts  of  taken  away  from her  family, she tries  to struggle and kick, with a loud groan she managed  to be free, still frightened  she crawled  but when the man was about to catch her again,  she screamed, and as if the result of her scream the river water formed  into a whip, and painfully whipped  the man as it bleeds,

 

She gasp along with the people around, confused and rattled by why or how the water formed into a whip, but with a sudden cry by a woman

 

“Look! Her shoulder, it’s glowing” everyone was snapped out from the shock but again, gasped as they found  out  that  the  glow  came  from  the  back of the girl where her birthmark was placed

 

“It’s true, she’s a witch”

 

A lot of people shouted but before she could run she was again captured by two men that were with the man that was now bleeding,

 

“Let go of my daughter!!” a shout from the distance was heard as a woman came running towards them

“No, your daughter is a witch”

“All of you, your wrong, she is not”

“We saw, what we saw and it was from our own eyes”

“no! Ai-ka, Ai-ka, Ai-KA!!!” a very desperate call from the woman that was known as the mother of the child as the neighbor tried to hold her and block her way towards her daughter 

 

“Okaa-san, OKAA-SAN! TASUKETE!”

 

*end of dream*

 

 

“okaa-san, okaa-san, tasukete” she breathe the words that came harshly as she slowly opened her eyes, she was awaken by her scream and panting, then

 

“okaa-san, my mother” she whispered as she began to remember the day she last saw her,

 

*flashback 5years ago*

 

It  was a bright  sunny day,  when  all  things  went  wrong  by  a  sudden,  where she thought everything seemed the  same.

 

 As like her everyday routine she went on her studies even she never knew why she was forced  to study those sort of lessons, ‘You, must learn everything you need for this will help you in the future’ she thought, as she remembers her mom saying those  words to her

 

“Well, I don’t see why, why I need this kind of lesson” murmuring by herself as she hadn’t pay any attention even the slightest idea of what was her lesson for today

 

“Ai-ka, Aai-ka?” a shout causing her to jump

“yes, el-DER Enma” annoyed answer as the so called old lady raised an eyebrow to her

“well I was going to ask you a question, what is the name of our great pharaoh?, but seeing as you haven’t paid any attention I decided  to give us both a favor and  will dismiss you early, so go outside with your friends as I need to talk with your mother”

 

Happily she broke a huge smile that lit up her face

“thank you ,obaasan, thank you very much, but by the way grandma the answer to your question was ‘HUROS ALIM’” she said as she got up and ran toward the doorway but stop to glance at her grandma smiling.

 

When she was about to leave she met her mom “okaa-san” happily she hugs her mother as her mother hugs her back,

“So how’s your study little one?”

“Mom!! Stop calling me little one, and that IN RA’S SAKE IT’S BORING, why do I have to learn those?”

A slight giggle from her mother before she answered, “yes, little one you need and soon you will know, so soon”

“MOM!! ArGH… how many times I told you stop calling me little one” a sighed words “but okay”

“so go my dear and play, I have to talk with your grandma” her mother bid byes as she went outside her grandma called her “Ai-ka,  please take care, remember we always love you”

 

“Are you ok? What with that?”

“Nothing dear, so play now with your friends”

“O- -Kay? But you sure you’re alright? I mean I can stay If you’re not”

 

But the only answer was a sad smile, with a glimpse of hidden tears of elders’ eyes,

 

 So when her family went inside,

 

Confused and curiosity claimed her thoughts, she tried to sneak out and manage to hear everything she shouldn’t have to hear, ’YET’

 

“So, he wants to take her away that so soon?” an  old voice was heard and she knows  it came from her grandma, she seemed to be upset of something so the girl leaned more to hear it more

 

“I think, but we know this will come, this time will come”

“Yes, I know, but why so soon it should have been on her eighteenth birthday”

“From the message I received, he said he sensed something would happen to her if he won’t take her that early”

“Something, what? sakura  “

“That, he never mention, so we won’t know”

“I hope she will be okay with the hands of a man, he is”

“You know he can’t ever hurt her even if he wants”

“When will he be arriving?”

“Soon, mother three days from now, and I have to talk with her today so she can pack her things”

“Three days? That so soon? I’ll take it she won’t agree with it”

“I know, that why I need to talk to her before it’s too late”

“What fate she has, first this village, now with this, force to leave with a man without a heart”

“Don’t worry mother, RA will never leave her, he will protect her always”

 

*end of flashback*

 

The memories of her family filled her mind as she rose from the bed and looked around on the big luxurious room; she started to examine everything as she kept her mind wandering off her memories of the past

 

“Play with my friends, my friends…”

 

*flashback*

 

as the last conversation was heard by her, she left  with a thought to figure out what was that all about her family talked to , she knows it was her, but what about this ‘man without a heart’ ‘take away’ ‘pack thing’ all about?

‘argh, what was that odd stuff all about’ she was about to be pissed off but smiled as she saw her friends, 2 young men, the first one was a tanned boy with black tied ponytail hair with dark blue eyes named “Amon-Ra” along with the second, a fair colored skin boy, with chocolate brown hair and yellow eyes named Aam Daiki or “Aam” called by many, waited for her and the other on their usual spot

 

“Hey, guys... How are—ow—ouch!” a sudden pain from her birthmark cut her out on the way.

 

Her friends saw and quickly they dashed towards her,

 

“Ai-Ka, Are you alright?” Amon-Ra said as he helps her stand and sit on the rock near the river,

“I’m fine, don’t worry it’s just that my birthmark aches”

“Your birthmark? You have one?” asked by Aam who was furrowing his eyebrows in confusion

 

But before she could even  answer a beautiful  young woman, with long black hair, with green eyes that gives her a mysterious look and even more with what she wears,  as robe as she was the villager’s healer, came towards them running, calling them

 

“Hey, oh!.. Are you alright Ai-ka?”

“Ammunit, thank RA, you are here, please check her, she said about her birthmark aching” Aam explained

“Birthmark?”

“ Yes, Ammunit, This” Ai-ka said as she shows  her back to her friend, she heard them gasped in maybe in amazement or confusion  or something, so she explained  further “ it  hurts as if some kind of  force is coming or something bad  is  going  to  happen”

 

“Your birthmark looks like a phoenix?” asked by Amon-ra

“Cool, it’s like a tattoo” compliment by Aam

But Ammunit was still in shock, as she gasped the words “YOU ARE—“that made Ai-ka more confused

“What? Ammunit? I am what?”

 As if she was snapped out her deep thoughts she immediately took her words “it’s nothing Ai-ka, I was just amazed, Aam was right it’s cool”

 

That was the answer she heard from her friend, she knows she was telling lie and she knows something was wrong and something that is about her birthmark

 

*end of flashback *

 

“my friends” she thought, still her mind was wandering all around the day that happened five years ago, when there were knocks on the door startled she ran towards the bed, and hid on the sheets,

 

When the door opened, she heard footsteps when she was about to scream and be afraid, she opened her eyes and instead she force herself not to laugh

 

It was a young boy, bald and with a tiny hair tied ponytail, and what made the boy look funny, was him wearing a weird looking violet cloak, with a big green gem pendant and he was holding something like a twig,

 

“Hey, don’t make fun of me, I am a magician, that why I wear something like this” He smiled, but it seemed the girl didn’t understand, he tried to demonstrate something “OKAY! Look! //SSN-HRE//” he shouted as he opened his palm, at first there was a fire ball form and then disappear and now you can see a flower, a lily to be exact, “here, this flower means divine, like you” but he was disappointed when he heard no response from the girl so he decided to asked her

 

“You can talk right?” sighed “Okay relax, I am Aneb, son of Thoth, the great magician, I shall be, I am one of our lords trusted servant and my job is to help you feel at home” he introduced himself to the girl,

But the girl just nods a bit, “so child, what is your name?”

 

Ai-ka opens her mouth but words won’t come out

“Okay, this is getting a bit harder than I thought, CAN-YOU-TALK?” he said with a an action and a bit of annoyed, the girl lowered her head and nods again “SO, okay let’s start again, tell me your name”

 

“Ai-ka” she whispers, the boy rolled her name several times before he said, “What a beautiful name to go with a beautiful creature like you”

The girl blushed a bit, that made her pale face a bit of pinkish, that made the boy eager to look the rumored eyes,

 

“They said, you have beautiful eyes, can I see it for myself?”

Ai-ka did as she was asked and saw a look of shock filled his features

“Well, I think it’s true” he said it laughing then the girl lowered her head not finding any humor, then seeing the girl’s downfall attitude Aneb moved closer and showed more magic that seemed to lit up a bit the girl’s mood, “You know, you could have me as your friend here” he said and smiled as the girl accepted his friendship with a nod and smile,

 

Ai-Ka smiles and nods, thinking about her friends, ‘friends, Right Friends’ her mind again wandered in her past as if those words was the key,

 

*flashback* 

 

It was just a minute after Ammunit lied to her, silence came and it felt like an hour even though it was just a seconds, then they were suddenly startled by a woman with curly long black hair with yellow eyes “Ai-ka, it is real you have a birthmark like phoenix?” this girl was called Arsinoe, she’s the daughter of the village leader and they were the richest family on the village,

 

“Yes, Arsinoe, I have, why would you ask?” she asked with a bit of annoyance why so fuss around about just some stupid birthmark,

“Ai-ka, you have to run, you have to hide, because the pharaoh is searching someone with a birthmark like you have”

“Why? Why would I run? What would he do if he finds me?”

“I don’t know Ai-ka, but you know the rumors he’s heartless, maybe he’ll kill you”

“You’ve got to be kidding” Amon-Ra shouted and holds the curly girl painfully

“NO, I am not… it’s true, it’s all around gossip, they said soldier were all around the town to find the person, which is Ai-ka”

 

Ai-ka’s heart was distressed about this news can’t react neither talk nor cry, or scream, all she can manage was a whisper

“I think I need to be home by now and I am a bit hungry” and then she left,

She left her friends with a loud shout of her name but her thoughts was blur of anything

 

*End of flashback*

 

“Ai-ka? Ai-ka! Are you alright?” she was snapped out of her deep thoughts, “yes, I am fine” she said as she moved her hair to the other side but eyes wide when she realized what she have done, it exposed her mark and as expected the boy stared wide at her birthmark and said “ Phoenix birthmark!”

“Yes, please don’t tell anyone I have, especially the pharaoh, please if you consider me as your friend you won’t tell anyone and betray me”

 

‘Betray, like what my friends did’ she thought angrily ‘No one knows, except my family, they were the only ones who knows about it, but how did the town know’

 

“Yes, I assure you no one well know about your mark, even if the pharaoh will kill me, I am loyal to the pharaoh but I am faithful with my friends”

 

This made Ai-ka smile, she hoped those were true, and they began to talk more and Aneb showed more magic tricks that Ai-ka seemed to off her mind on those sad memories.

 

But mean while on the throne room

 

Ata was suspicious and he had a reason to be, Over the last hours, Alim seemed had finally gotten out of the dumps and his notorious tantrums, he smiled a lot more than the usual intimidating smirk and grins he used to his subject, and for once in his life he finished his work on time, Ata could still remember how his cousin had always complained to him that it was physically impossible to just sit down quietly and read the papyrus that usually stock like a mountain of files but now look, his desk was clean everything was done, and In fact some work for a couple of days was even ahead of its schedule work it was like the old Alim he used to hang out, when they were little was slowly coming back

 

Well it made everyone happy especially the council and the priest but Ata couldn’t help but be suspicious of the sudden change, unless there was a life altering experience, there’s no way he could change on such overnight, however there was nothing that happened, no gossip, no upheaval of the palace routine, something was definitely off ‘but what? The Girl?’ he eyed the pharaoh through his narrow eyes, crossing his arms

 

And as if he can feel the gaze, Alim looked up from his desk where he was doing his work, he stared back with confusion

 

“what?

 

For a moment Ata considered lying and just went out of the room but his instincts told him whatever happened to Alim he must know, that made his curiosity emerge victorious

 

“I should be the one asking you, what happened? You’ve changed”

“Change? How so?” Alim just raised an eyebrow

“well you seem to be on a such a good mood today, In  fact you act as if someone who had just got laid and had a great night, did something happen?” he just said it out of nowhere but gasped at what he said to his cousin that made the king blush

 

Alim was shocked from his cousin words, as the word ‘laid’ struck down to him, he blushed and seemed to be deep cause it was bright red even on his tanned complex, it’s not that it really happened to him last night but he can recall his erotic dream with the girl last night, and he almost bit his lowered lips as he remembers the stolen kiss from the lips of an ‘angel’

“Wait; is it true you got laid, last night?”

“No, no, it’s not true, if I ever wanted to get laid, I would rather do it with love and it should be between the two, between me and my partner, wait it gives me an IDEA”

 

Putting down the papyrus he had been reading, Alim gave his cousin a crooked grin, one that Ata reminds him of a cat who had just finish eating its meal and ready to lick his paws,

 

“What idea?”

 

“It’s nothing actually”

“Nothing, you’d want to tell me?” Ata murmured as he still noticed the grin grazing on his cousin’s lips, and he knows how to get his answer

 

“Since you don’t wish to tell me, I suppose I’d better leave you alone”

And he made his leave but when Alim cocked his head on perplex

 

“You don’t wish to know?”

‘Score’ Ata shouted on his mind but “Well, you don’t seemed you like to share” simply replied and trying to kept his excitement but surprised when the pharaoh wave him off

“OKAY! I shall not waste my breath then; you don’t seem to be interested”

 

Hearing his wave of bye, Ata dashed back to his cousin’s desk, slammed both his hands and said, “Wait, I am interested, please tell me”

 

“Well, I guess I will tell you that I had an idea… Giving her a job”

 

“The girl? Well getting a job is a good idea, so she can stay for mean time if your still not sure if she’s the one, so what kind of job? Hmmm… in the kitchen, or laundry or--“

 

“Sex slave”

 

“Oh, yes… sex slave, wooo-wa-what? Sex slave!!!?”

“Yes, Ata sex slave my bed partner”

 

“Are you out of your mind?!?, wait, did something really happen to you last night? Did you just got laid” Ata grinned widely as he saw again the blush on his cousin’s face, he started to tease him more with seductive tones as he said “well, did she made your night great, that you chose her among all the girls even your harem can’t, well maybe that made you think that she should be your official concubine my king, tell me my king how wonderful was your night, did she satisfy you?”

 

“Snap out of it Ata, as what I said, no nothing between us happened last night”

 

“Really, tell me my king” he said poking the side of the pharaoh, the pharaoh tried more force not to feel the tickles that his cousin sent by poking him on the side where he was most ticklish

 

But Ata stopped when he saw the king wasn’t affected he stopped his poking but still continued on his ‘teasing scheme’

“The great king of Kemet, is a pedophile”

“What? I am not”

“You are my king”

“I am not, you know who she was, if it’s true then she’s not a child”

“You are not yet sure, my king what if she is not the one my king”

“Well, I bid 10 pieces of gold coins”

“Make it 15”

“DEAL” both said on unison

“But if I win you have to eat a plateful of fried chilies”

“NO CHILIES” Alim said with a bit of fear as he could remember the last time he ate spicy foods, he almost died because of it, and he sure hates spicy food

 

“Afraid of losing; My king? Don’t be a loser”

“Loser? ME? Don’t worry this loser well beat you off, hmm… I have to go, I need to check her up if she’s okay”

 

“wait did he just say a awhile ago, he won’t have sex if it wasn’t about love,” the prince said as he raised an eyebrow while he saw his cousin happily smiling on the way to his chamber with a last thought on his mind he crooked a grin “Well, someone has finally succeeded on stealing my cousin’s heart, Alim good luck on your love thing, you know love is something even pharaohs can’t have that easily”

 

Back to the chamber were Ai-ka and Aneb were getting to know each other laughter can be heard, A sign that made the both of them go well on each other, Aneb used magic tricks that made Ai-ka smile even more…

 

‘beautiful, when she smiles, hope the pharaoh would be able to see her smile, if he does he will surely fall more deeper’ Aneb thought as he stared at the beautiful maiden and it seems not only  the pharaoh’s heart was being captivated by her, but also his own, but his too young, ‘but she looks so young too, maybe’

 

“Ai-ka, may I know your age?”

 

“Seventeen, actually after a few months I’ll be turning into 18”

Aneb quirked an eyebrow and Ai-ka giggled "I know you probably thought I was about twelve."

 

Aneb nodded "Sorry."

 

The young woman grinned at him "its fine, everyone thinks I'm a child, it comes in handy sometimes."

“Wow… you must have a secret to maintain such youth, come to think of it, you look so young for an age of 17 going 18,”

 

Ai-ka laughed a bit but the age came into her senses as she remembers something that she shouldn’t have, she gasped in horror as the vision of the past came into her mind…

 

*flashback* 

 

Her  thought  was  filled  with  confusion  ‘why  would  the  pharaoh  want  to find  me’ it  was a thought that  replayed  many  times on her mind as she prepared  the  table  to  have  their  lunch,  their lunch  was nothing  special  just  bread  and  fish ;after preparing they settled for a silent meal but  after  a  second  her mother  broke the  silence  and  cleared  her  throat

 

“Ai-ka, there something that you and I need to talk, about something important”

Ai-ka look over them and saw their face was covered with sadness and seriousness, and  clearly that it is something indeed important, maybe it’s all about what she heard earlier

 

“What is it, Okaa-san?”

 

“Have you heard the story of a ‘fateh and ghameq’ or in our country it is called ‘ Yami and Hikari’ or in the others countries this is called  ‘ying and yang’ or ‘light and dark’ ‘the divine and the shadow’ and many more,  many interpretation was made with this story”

 

“No, I haven’t Okaa-san” she shakes her head a bit

“Okay listen”

“ow-kay”

“Now, as I'm sure you know the god or gods created all of us. Now, the parts you don't know about are the special cases. You see occasionally, they create what are known as Yami's and Hikari's. Now the Yami's tend to be quite powerful individuals in their own rights, they are usually endowed with the ability to tap into some powerful magic as well. Anyway, for each Yami the god's create a hikari. The hikari's tend to be smaller, weaker versions of the Yami's. Once the two join they are supposed to create some type of a balance for each other, however, I don't know much about that. Here's what I do know, that the Hikari's will have to join their Yami's on their eighteenth birthdays”

 

“Well? I don’t really get it, and you’re telling me this? Because?”  She said with the tone of ‘what this all about’

 

“Well, I don't really know of any simpler way to say it than this. Ai-ka, you are “her mother paused by, but continued by her grandma as the old lady saw her daughter couldn’t finish the line

“A hikari, a light, a fateh a divine “as they both closed their eyes

 

Ai-ka had a second before she managed to comprehend the words that was said

“I am a what? Grandma this has to be a joke, right you can’t be that serious, what do I have to do with just an old myth? I think both of you needs to take a res-“

 

“Yes, we are. You’re a hikari and your Yami will be here three days from now, he’ll be collecting you”

 

“What three days? And what do you mean collecting me?”

 

  “I mean pick you up; you’ll be going with him”

 

“I won’t go, I refuse”

 

“You don’t have a choice, you have to go, and we don’t like this more than you are but we should just deal with it”

 

“Okay, wait, I thought hikari’s tend to go with their Yami’s on their eighteenth birthday? It is still five long years from now, why three days, and then maybe could you answer my question why do hikari have to go with a complete stranger, I mean as far I can tell they aren’t the one getting yanked out of their family on their eighteenth  birthday”

 

“well first of all, we got a message from your Yami, he said that he couldn’t wait he sensed  something will happen to you, and second well from what I understand Yami’s tend to be a year or two older than the hikari” again she paused  and  nods  to the old woman who just stared at her, as if a clue or sign she continued  again what her daughter was saying

 

“The reason, the hikari have to go with them because both of them “closes her eyes and a heavy sigh was released before she continued “they don’t tend to live much” she drop tear after saying the lines

 

“So, you’re telling me that if I don’t go with that Yami thing I will die?”

“That is how we understand the word ‘we don’t have a choice’ “

 

Silence was spread, until Ai-ka cried out of frustration of her life, is this her fate, did the gods just cursed her

 

“Am I, cursed or something? First this… stupid village, second now that psychotic pharaoh wants to kill the person with this, this scary birthmark of mine, and now this stupid myth, that I have to go with a person I even don’t know who they are”

 

Ai-ka cried, with  emotions, feelings,  confused thoughts  and fears, of thinking she have to go with this man, cause even without that  stupid myth she’s  still going to die of the hands of her ruler, she was about to dash towards outside but stopped by her mother

 

“The pharaoh won’t hurt you”

“NO, mom it’s a town gossiped that the pharaoh was looking for the person with a birthmark and he will kill it”

“You’re wrong the pharaoh, wasn’t looking... And if he is, he won’t hurt you”

“No mom, don’t be so sure you know the rumors this man is a heartless creature” she took her hands out from her mother’s touch, and  ran and left where she can release all her emotions, so hurt that she even almost didn’t hear what was her mother was shouting “Ai-ka, he won’t hurt because” but she can’t  hear it anymore

 

*end of flashback*

 

“Ai-ka?” Aneb had called her a minute long but she seemed to be lost, tired my ways to call her out, , but nothing seemed to work, when Aneb was thinking something like kissing her, she was suddenly snapped out and frown as the distance between her and Aneb was just an inch away

 

“Phew, I thought I lost you” startled he back away a little

“Huh?”

“Well, I called you many times you seemed not to hear it, you just kept staring at that wall, is there something wrong”

“Ah, well it’s nothing, I was just thinking about a stupid myth, it’s nothing important” she blushes a little

“Ah, I see, well if it’s all about that myth let me guess fateh and ghameq,” Ai-Ka stared eyes wide, she was shocked, how?

 

“You know about it?”

 

“Ahm, well I am a magician, I have lots of books that tells lots of myths and myths are myths never been true” he lied

 

“Ah ok, you’re right myths are myths” she tried to smile ‘he is right, it’s funny that I believe with that’

 

"So, you know why you're here?" she just shook her head. "Yeah, me neither." Aneb said with shrug. "Our Lord will be in here soon to inform you of your placement and of what your job will be." She nods again he could see that fear look spread across

 

“well, I should go now, don’t worry any minute from now the pharaoh will have his break and come to see you,” and then he leaned to whisper “know, my friend, the pharaoh isn’t that heartless as the rumors say, in fact his the kindest of all” he smiled as the girl nod with a smile

 

When Ai-ka heard what the boy whispered to her, she thought ‘well maybe mom was right’ and a slight thought ‘maybe, what mom tried to say, maybe, no impossible’ and then 

 

 

There were a knock on the door, just a minute after Aneb finished his whisper

“Speaking of the devil, maybe it’s the pharaoh” he said while walking towards the door he stopped before opening the door he said something Ai-Ka would be confused “you won’t die on your eighteen birthday” and he opened the door and revealed that it was really the pharaoh, but shocked because for the first time of his 12 years of age he never saw the pharaoh or even he was still a prince smile warmly and emotional

 

“Did you just got laid?”

 

“What?” the pharaoh was shocked by the words ‘laid?’

“I’m sorry my king, for my words,”

“Okay, how was she?”

 

“Well, at first she was a bit jumpy and frightened, but when I showed her some magic tricks she was enlightened”

 

“Ah, I’ll take note of it that she likes magic, what else?”

“She’s half-foreigner and that made her color pale and guessed what”

“What?”

“Her age was seventeen and she’s going to be eighteen this coming fall

 

“Going eighteen, perfect”

“My king, I now knows why you brought her here, protect her; my king”

“Well I see you saw it”

“Yes on her left back near the shoulder”

“I see”

“But I guess she knows a less of it”

“I know”

“I have to go now my king, by the way, she looks more beautiful if she smiles” he said with a grin when he saw the king, more interested of hearing those words

“Really? I have to see that myself”

 

He smiled at his king obviously the king was in love with the girl even though if he denies it, it can be read by the sparks in his eyes, the lips twist into a smile, he just shook his head mentally and about to leave when

“Please tell Hepa, to prepare little one’s lunch, tell her to make it special, so she can regain more energy”
