THE PENANCE: THE PEBINOR
TP - 39

"I did, I killed him by shooting from the street. That's why the car exploded" Faidan said.

"I also told people to stab him with a sharp knife" Yunita said in a trembling voice

Silvi and Irfan looked at each other. Febrian turned to Faidan and Yunita alternately.

"You can check my offshore accounts, I pay an assassin to make it easier. I was going to send the assassin myself, but the stranger was forbidden to enter the office area, so I told two men to start the action."

"I beg you to imprison me, I can't stand to be haunted by the guilt of my entire life."

Febrian nodded. "Well, say it in front of the judge."

At the forest house, Nalesha finishes her novel. "After a difficult time together, they both lived happily ever after."

Zael approached Nalesha. "What are you doing?"

"Regular, writing a novel. And after 6 weeks of writing, 120 thousand words were gathered," answered Nalesha.

"Oh."

"Oh, yes, how did you get Yunita and Faidan to admit their wrongdoing to the police?" Ask Nalesha.

** Flashback **

As Yunita and Faidan were both frightened in their own illusions, Zael came to enter the world of illusions he had created. With his purple coat and mask on, Zael approached Faidan and Yunita in different illusions.

"Help me, I'm haunted by my brother" cried Faidan.

"My husband seems to want to take me to hell" Yunita said with a terrified expression.

"You're not haunted by your sister. You're haunted by your guilt. If you want it all to end, come to the police station and say everything you've done then it'll all be over" Zael told Faidan.

"Your husband rebukes you. The infidelity and murder you committed with Faidan must be exposed. You and Faidan have to tell the police everything" Zael told Yunita.

Faidan and Yunita wake up. They were where Farhan was killed. The two walked several miles to reach the police station. It is there that they acknowledge what they have done.

"I feel relieved, because my penance was successful this time," said Zael.

Nalesha smiled. "After doing your 7 penances, what will you do?"

"I will return to the world of the drucless, return to my kingdom to meet my mother and sister and my people" Zael replied.

Nalesha looked sad after hearing that. He mumbled softly, "We won't see each other again."

Zael approached Nalesha. "I'm still here a long time."

Nalesha looked up at the man and then looked down. "Stay that in the end you will leave. I understand, you and I are different. Of course we have to live in each other's world."

"You're reading your own novel?" Zael held back a laugh.

"What I wrote in my novel was my deepest feeling" Nalesha said.

"You are very good at stringing words together" said Zael.

"That's what words do" said Nalesha.

Zael stretched out both his hands. Both Nalesha's eyebrows shot up. He hugged the man too. Zael smiled as he gently rubbed Nalesha's hair.

While Arnav who was standing at the end of the stairs heaved a heavy sigh. "Why do I have to watch all this?"

However, a moment later Arnav smiled. "The first time I saw Prince Zael's smile, it was a sign that he was happy. I'm so happy, Prince."
