Fortune Teller's
The Deep Sadness
Ever since Robby and Karf were taken away by Zarkon, Liby has no life left. Every day she just cries in her room, even Karin she doesn't care. Wolfram's husband and wife Leon and Argon had tried to encourage and say things that would have been able to awaken Liby's downturn and grief, but they were not at all successful. Liby would only get out of bed when he went to the bathroom and then go back into the room and cry. For five days he had not eaten, though Mrs Wolfram had forced him to eat, even to the point of bribing her but she refused him, even if only one mouthful of food came into her mouth.
”What should we do now? The princess did not want to eat at all. If it continues like this he can die.” said Mrs Wolfram sad
”Huss. You must not say so, we must try. Try again using Karin.” replied Mr. Wolfram
Although Mrs Wolfram is not sure it will work, because Karin has been used as an intermediary so that Liby can rise from his sadness but always fails. Indeed there is no other way, he must use Karin once again and hope that his efforts this time succeed, even though by lying to Liby.
Mrs Wolfram prepared herself, and turned her face into panic. ”Liby realized, Karin has a fever. She cannot be let go, I have tried to cure her but it did not work.” said Mrs Wolfram by shaking the body Liby.
”compress only with a warm towel―” replied Liby did not care about the news.
”plaaaaakkkkk”
A slap hard enough to land on Liby's cheek. The skin of her white cheeks became red with a palm stamp.
“Conscious! You don't care about your son at all?! Do you think you only have one child?! Arise Mrs Orchido, Karin still needs you. Robby and Karf problems we can solve later, now you have to take care and give love to Karin!!” madam Wolfram's anger broke already, now he felt relieved to have let out his teeth.
The slap from Mrs Wolfram seems to have managed to resuscitate some of Liby's soul. He began to daydream about and pervade every word that Mrs Wolfram said. Without saying anything he woke up his body that had been lying on the bed, then walked out of the room and looked for Karin's whereabouts.
Leon and Argon, who were guarding Karin, were shocked when they saw Liby standing at their doorstep. They saw the figure of Liby like a body that has no body at all. Her eyes were swollen from crying every day and her hair was no longer because of her mess. Liby's eyes were blank, like he was staring somewhere far away. The way he walked was like an undead, his legs were dragged. It really made the little Argon so scared, that Argon hid behind his brother's back.
Liby starts to shed tears when he sees a tiny baby sleeping next to Leon and Argon. She feels deeply sorry for her attitude over the past five days that has abandoned her baby who still desperately needs the love and protection of a mother. Her body felt very weak but she tried to gather strength and move her legs so that she could reach and hug her tiny baby.
”Karin―” says Weak Liby.
”Argon, we'd better go. Let's leave Aunt Liby alone with her son” take Leon to her sister who is still hiding behind her body.
”Alright.” replied Argon, who immediately stood up from where he was sitting and ran as fast as possible out of the room.
”Tante Liby, Karin misses you so much” whispered Leon in Liby's ear, then passed and closed the room door.
Liby carried his sleeping son carefully so as not to wake him. Then he hugged her very gently and sang a very beautiful song and sounded very melodious.
Four days have passed since Liby regained consciousness from her fall, she has returned cheerful despite still being implied in her eyes a deep sadness at the abduction of Karf and Robby. Suddenly Mr. Wolfram talks about something that makes Liby surprised
”Ehmm... Putri— oh I mean Mrs Orchido.”
“Sorry before I did not ask permission from you,” he said as he looked into the eyes of Mrs Orchido “I have gone to where the Sirkon Clan is located.”
Liby surprised to hear a statement said Mr Wolfram “anda― when you go there? Was it two days ago?”
”Ya” said calmly ”I have faced your father, King Lawren Naptun.”
”La.... then? A.... what do you say?” liby replied nervously and his whole body felt cold.
”I have told you about your whereabouts as well as the events that have happened to us yesterday,” he replied as he stood up from his seat and approached the table behind the sofa. ”I brought a letter from your Dad.”
Liby received the letter with a trembling hand, then he opened the letter and read it in his heart. Soon tears rolled slowly towards the skirt that Liby was wearing. He could not hold back his tears as he read the last verse of the letter written by his father.
”Liby Father and Mother miss you so much, forgive father for ordering you to leave the kingdom even though it was for your own good, Father and Mother love you so much. Come home we all miss you.”
He held the letter very tightly, and felt very sad. Mrs Wolfram immediately approached Liby and lent her shoulder as a place for Liby to vent her grief.
”Are you ready to go home and become the princess back Mrs Orchido?” asked Mr. Wolfram with a smile that he showed for the first time.
Liby stops crying and unwittingly Liby says ”You can smile?” spontaneously Liby closed his mouth because he felt he had asked something inappropriate ”Ah forgive my question earlier, I was surprised to see you smile.”
Mrs Wolfram laughed so heard the words Liby ”Well my husband is stingy when it comes to smile” she said by pinching her husband's waist.
Liby also laughed when he saw Mr. Wolfram being teased by his wife, they really look very harmonious.
”I am ready to return home and become a Princess again.” she said with confidence and joy because she could finally be reunited with her family after years of isolation
”Alright now it's time we prepare everything.” said Mr. Wolfram
”Yes, but we should leave tomorrow because it's getting dark, we don't want to look for risks, right?” liby
”You are right, it is possible that Zarkon ordered his men to watch over us somewhere.” replied Mrs Wolfram
They stood up from the sofa and went back to their rooms. ”Good sleep Princess Liby, you should get used to hearing the name ’Putri’ again, because we will call you so from tomorrow.” said Mr. Wolfram before entering the room.
Liby sighed feeling uncomfortable ”Alright, inevitably I should be called that,” he said with a little disappointment. ”Good sleep to you too Mr. Wolfram.” he continued by waving.
