A woman poured tea into a small cup through a pot made of clay.
The sound of artificial fountain rustling sounds soothing, especially some koi fish also enliven dancing here and there in the pond.
Although not too broad, the garden behind the house looks green and full of beautiful blooming flowers.
Margo looked around, “You really like beauty huh? Hahaha,” he chuckles before smoking his cigarette.
Zoe smiled calmly, both of them sitting in a small gazebo in the middle of an artificial fish pond.
“Are you comfortable staying here?” ask Margo to look at Zoe this time.
“It seems like too long in a dark room makes me feel more comfortable if I'm not with people!”
“Zoe, you're not sick! Why is it so hard to punish yourself?” Margo looked worriedly.
The woman smiled faintly, “Even my own husband was terrified when he saw me! Wouldn't it be better if I kept hiding?”
“Before his last breath, your father told me to keep looking after you! Doesn't that mean your father forgave you?”
“Still I still look like a monster in Hirza's eyes,” Zoe looked down sadly playing tea water inside her little glass.
“Well ... Last night I followed him as you requested! She and her people ... including Xean, they went to cafe.”
Zoe looks squinting, “Cafe? But when he called my son, it seemed like something was very urgent! Then why just go to the cafe?”
“There's a woman he met!”
Instantly the woman's jaw hardened with tightly clenched hands.
“Women?” repeat growled, “Who?”
“If not wrong ... she's second daughter Strom!”
“Have a family?” Zoe squinted her eyes, slightly tilting her head.
Margo shook her head, quite carefully staring at Zoe, “Still single ... don't think too much first! Even we all always can't guess what Hirza is up to! Could have been just a business meeting.”
“Then why invite Xean?” Zoe still looked furious.
“I don't know the details either. All I see, they've been there for a long time!”
“What does Xean look familiar with that woman?”
“Mmm ... either ... I hesitate to say it!”
“Is there anything uncle is hiding?”
“The problem is not yet clear Zoe! You're afraid you're misunderstanding!”
“Tell me uncle!” zoe urged the tone.
“At first they sat apart, Hirza and the woman talked together. Hans joined, after a long conversation with the three, Hirza called Xean to come to his table. From what I saw, they just got acquainted at that time ..-“
“Xean and the woman?” cut Zoe to make sure.
“Yaps, and Xean looks like the woman. She is being sweet and friendly.”
“Sweet and friendly?” repeat Zoe stunned lowered both shoulders, “Xean says she doesn't like being touched by strangers!” he mumbled, remembering the words of his son.
“After that introduction, Xean and Hans returned to another table. Leaving Hirza and the woman alone.”
Zoe was gripping the end of the table.
“Is the woman beautiful?”
“People in the business world call it like a snow princess. She is beautiful, graceful, karmic, courteous and her gentle demeanor makes it easy for men to fall in love. Emm ... but Zoe .. once again don't think too much first! I'll ask Rudi later!” Margo started to worry seeing the change in expression that Zoe showed.
“Zoe ..-“
“If I knew there was another woman in his heart .. I'd make sure that I alone would eliminate her!” cut Zoe out even more fiery.
“Zoe! Relax!” sahut Margo firmly. “Do not get carried away in an atmosphere that is not yet clear the truth!”
The woman immediately looked at the old man before her.
Slowly he relaxed his arm muscles.
“Pull a deep breath .. and take it out slowly!” margo said gently.
Zoe followed Margo's words, she began to take a breather and fling.
He poured out a teacup before he hurriedly gulped it down.
“I'm sorry uncle,” said Zoe trying to calm herself.
“You don't have to think that far! Didn't you also know .. Hirza has not been close to any woman except business. He's still loyal to you Zoe!”
The woman looked up again at Margo, “Uncle! Tell me honestly! Is anyone threatening or bullying him? What if he behaves like that just out of fear of me?” Zoe shook her head, “Don't threaten my husband! I'm afraid if he hates me even more!” back to sad.
“Zoe! You are the power holder! Why are you so afraid of him? You deified him too much Zoe!”
The woman smiled without raising her head, “I've done everything to make Hirza love me! Even I've killed people who mean so much in my life just to stay with him ... but what? Hirza is getting more and more ilfill towards me!”
“Zoe .. sorry for that time we wanted to get rid of him. Your father just doesn't want to see his daughter constantly grieving!”
“Uncle!” call Zoe interrupts, “If Hirza is not... I'd rather die too!”
“Zoe! Don't say that! Your father asked me to protect you! Whatever happens ... nor will I let you suffer!”
The woman smiled in relief, “As long as I can still see the smiles of Hirza and my son .. walking on the sharpness of the nails alone will not make me suffer!”
“Yeah .. We have complied with your will Zoe! Hirza got the highest position and no one else dared to touch her! Isn't it time you also set yourself free?”
“I wasn't ready to see the response when I saw me again!” Zoe stared fixedly at Margo, “What if she was still disgusted and scared of me?”
The old man took a deep breath, “Until when will you close your identity? Don't you want to raise your son? He's in front of your eyes Zoe!”
The woman shook her head uneasily, “She would be scared too if she knew that she had a mother like me!”
“What's wrong with you Zoe?” Margo elevates the tone, “You are beautiful, gentle, and talented in various fields! Xean must be proud to have a mother like you!”
The shadow of events when Xean was always trying to avoid his touch suddenly flashed through his mind.
The woman felt that her whole body was beginning to change, even though it was only in her own shadow, but she was quite certain that there was a horn growing on her head.
Zoe covered her own mouth with both hands, “Don't! Don't look at me!”
In his mind, his mouth seemed to widen to the ears with irregular canine teeth.
Zoe looked increasingly unsettled, she shook her head starting insecure with the circumstances around, “Did anyone tell her? Uncle ... I am a monster!”
Margo let out a long sigh again, she looked frustrated at Zoe's increasingly uncontrollable behavior.
With a casual gesture, he called out to the Sister who had been standing not far from there.
The nurse approached, taking a syringe from inside her pocket.
“Zoe .. You are healthy Zoe! Don't be constantly like this!” margo said sadly.
