The sound of footsteps rang out from the hallway leading to the door leading to the backyard. In the dark of the night in the backyard can be seen the silhouette of the person holding the owl. The figure whispered something to the owl's ear earlier and gave a scroll on his leg. After letting go of the owl, the man went back into the palace.
...----------------...
“Morning Mera..”
“Mr Princess... Morning, did you sleep well last night?” Ask Mera to Princess Liby
“Of course, although I have a lot of thoughts my sleep remains sound.” replied Liby with a jail smile.
From a distance there was a conversation between several servants who were gathering to prepare the dining room, and made Liby and Mera stop the conversation. One of the servants said he had seen a new ghost in the palace last night. He did not see clearly the ghost was male or female because last night the fog was enveloping the palace.
“Last-lately I've heard a lot of strange gossip.” Said Liby while walking towards the park with Mera.
“Yes, the gossip about the new ghost is indeed being intensively discussed by the guards and servants of the Palace.”
“You alone, have you ever seen that new ghost?”
“No, and I hope I will never meet that ghost because honestly I am the cowardly type, seeing 2 little ghosts wandering around alone has made me almost faint.” Obviously Mera goosebumps.
Mera herself is Karin's nanny, she started to be Karin's nanny since a year and a half ago. Mera is a nomad that has surrounded several countries. At that time when the Princess was traveling around Sovelam using the face of Liby Orchido he accidentally met with Mera. Liby felt sorry for Mera because of her shabby clothes and her very thin body and face that was no longer clear color because it was covered in very thick dust.
He approached Mera and invited her to lunch at a shop not far from where they were standing. Without hesitation Mera agreed because she was very hungry because she had not eaten for three days. When they ate together, Liby listened to the experience told by Mera, it turned out that her journey was very dangerous and often almost took her life.
Without thinking long, Liby invites Mera to come with him to the Palace and asks her parents so that Mera can be used as Karin's nanny. Mera was very surprised when she found out that the woman she had met on the path was a Princess from the Sovelam kingdom. He felt very lucky to have met a Princess, even he could get a job from her. God has not abandoned him, Mera thought as she thanked him for his luck.
During her stay at the Palace, Mera became a figure respected by many people, not just because of her pretty face, but his meek and kind personality and attitude are he who never complains and is always diligent, making him so often talked about by the servants not even a few of them who feel jealous of Mera.
The closeness of Mera with the royal family, especially the Princess, makes herself a subject of conversation, there are some who say that Mera uses enchantment magic so that she can be close to the Princess, the Princess, there are also those who say that Mera is two-faced and all this time she only acted well to be liked by every resident of the Palace.
Mera was always strong, she never showed any expression of displeasure with people who always said bad things about her. He considers it all just the past wind and does not care about it. Princess Liby also always encouraged Mera, the Princess always asked Mera not to care about the words that are not pleasant from people who at all times always envied Mera.
“Do the servants still often talk ugly about you Mera?” Ask Liby suddenly
“No Princess, maybe they are tired so they no longer spread strange gossip about me, ” he replied with a knotty smile.
“Good then, however I trust you Mera”
“Thank you Princess because the Princess has been so trusting of me.” Reveal it with a grinning smile from the heart. “But Princess, why do you trust me so much?”
“Entahlah, I also did not understand clearly from the bottom of my heart when I first met you I felt I had known you for a long time and I also felt like having an inner bond that I myself had difficult to interpret it”
Mera was immediately stunned and unable to say anything as soon as she heard Princess Liby's explanation, She did not expect that Princess Liby would give such an explanation, because for some reason when he first met Liby he also felt the exact same thing as what Liby said earlier, inner contact, inner contact, bond and as has known for many years besides that Mera also felt a feeling of longing that is so deep every time her eyes and Liby's eyes meet.
“I feel overwhelmed when I hear the explanation of Putri”, he said, accompanied by a grim face because he knew the true feelings of Liby.
Liby smiled as soon as he heard it, he also in his heart felt very lucky to know Mera. He never felt comfortable and calm as if the burden that had been in his mind just vanished when close to someone, be it to both parents. I don't know what is inside Mera so it can make Liby feel like that. Maybe it was just a very exaggerated feeling but that was the reality, as if the recesses of her heart were empty since her husband and child had been filled again.
However, Mera could not deny when she saw Karin ─anak Liby─, she immediately felt so dear to Karin. When it is time for Him to separate from Karin, He will feel lost when they are still one place. Mera could not explain this feeling. He finally enjoyed every moment of meeting Karin, and he would take care of Karin. Even a mosquito can't stop and suck Karin's blood when they're together.
