Dark Memory
Ezra's Sadness

Now that Lia and Ezra were in the room, they were putting Cia to sleep. By lying on the bed and Cia who was in the middle of them.

"Lia, can I ask you a question?" ezra asked while looking at Lia who was sleeping sideways while facing Cia.

"Yes" replied Lia.

"Ehm .. yesterday the day after we got engaged, then when are you ready to marry me?" ezra asked while staring intensely at Lia.

Lia who was stroking Cia's head finally stopped her activities, she looked at Ezra in confusion.

"Why should you hurry? I am only 19 years old, and my military training is not yet complete" Lia replied.

"But I'm 26 years old Lia, I'm very mature for marriage. If it's military affairs, you can stop by handing in your resignation letter" said Ezra, who felt he could not accept.

Lia seemed to think, she also did not like to enter the military. But, he was already comfortable making friends with his roommate.

"But I'm too young to get married" Lia's great-grandson.

"Will you wait until when? until I get to three heads?" ask Ezra.

"Yes .. yes no, but ...,"

"How do I explain to Brother Ezra that Jacob's grandfather always opposed his desire to marry me?" asked Lia inwardly.

"Lia!" shock Ezra.

"Ha .. Yes what?" surprised Lia.

Ezra sighed, he got up from his reclining show with his faithful hand holding his gunshot scar which was still painful.

Lia just looked at where Ezra was going, she looked at Ezra wistfully as the man walked out of the room and went somewhere.

"I'm confused if we're meant to be together. Or is it just a short meeting?" muttered Lia

"Maybe you forgot what happened between you and your grandfather who was arguing about me." continued Lia.

While Ezra is now in a room, there is no lighting in that space. There was only a small lamp in the corner of the room.

Ezra sat on the edge of the bed looking straight ahead.

"Did I not convince Lia to marry me? was he afraid that this was just a joke? didn't he accept my proposal? does he not believe in me being serious about him yet?" lirih Ezra's.

Dertt!

Dertt!

Ezra clucked, he took his phone in his pants pocket and saw who called him.

"Ck, why did the old man call me? troublesome!" grunts Ezra.

Even so, Ezra still lifted it and waited for the old man who meant Ezra to open his voice.

"Where are you Ezra?!"

"What's the deal with you?" indifferent Ezra.

"You! huh ... Why are you rejecting that matchmaking huh?! grandpa told you not to disappoint Ezra's grandfather! what's Clara's lack for you? she is beautiful and well educated, why did you reject her?! look now, he's even cancelled the match!" the jolt of the old man was none other than Jacob Elvish the grandfather of Ezra.

Ezra clutched his phone firmly, his eyes reddened when he heard Jacob's jolt. He was tired of being a puppet to Jacob.

"If you still think I'm a doll again, I'm sorry. It seems I can no longer be your puppet who always obeys your words" said Ezra.

Tuuut.

BRACKET!

Ezra turns off the phone and throws it away, tired of Jacob's threats and demands.

Ezra piled his head using both hands, he repeatedly threw a rough breath to neutralize his emotions.

Ezra heard the sound of the door opening, but he remained in his position. A pat on his shoulder forced him to turn.

"Why are you here?" ask Ezra gently.

Lia looked down at Ezra, herself sad to see the fragile Ezra. Immediately Lia hugged Ezra's head.

Ezra who was shocked returned Lia's embrace, Ezra hid her face. She was so anxious to cry.

"What is my fault in living in this world? do I live to be the old man's puppet? do I not deserve to live" said Ezra.

"Shuut don't say that, there's still me beside you." lia persuaded while combing Ezra's hair with her lentic finger.

Before long a subtle snoring sounded, Lia saw that Ezra was already sleeping. With her initiative Lia broke Ezra down then she lifted Ezra's leg to the bed.

Lia pulled the blanket over Ezra's chest, her hands gently wringing Ezra's forehead out of sweat.

"Haaah .. Sometimes some people stab you in the back, and then they ask why are you bleeding? and that's what you feel now. You feel that your grandfather always gives the best for you until you finally feel that you have become his puppet." said Lia while stroking Ezra's peaceful face.

Suddenly Ezra's forehead shriveled deeply which made Lia switch to stroking the wrinkles.

"Syuuut, calm syuuut ... Zannanya Leon is here" whispered Lia.

Before long the frown faded, indicating that Ezra had calmed down. Lia who saw this rushed out, she wanted to see Cia's state as long as she left earlier.

***

Elsewhere, precisely the Elvish mansion now Jacob is breaking stuff. Even his work room is now very messy due to his actions.

"Ezra can't meet Lia! she must marry Clara at all costs! I don't want to have a great-grandson of the Wesley family!" furious Jacob.

Cklek!

Netra Jacob turned to look at a middle-aged woman who entered his room with a surprised look.

"Is this a mas?" wonder that woman who she is Dea Wulan Elvish wife of Jacob Elvish.

Jacob did not answer, but Dea approached her emotionally distraught husband.

"You must be fighting again with Ezra right? when the hell are you going to?! your past with the Jeslyn family has nothing to do with Ezra! why did you make him a victim huh?!" dea.

"Be quiet! you don't know anything!" jolt Jacob.

"Yes! I don't know anything, but I know why you hate the Wesleys. Because you still love Jeslyn don't you?" said Dea.

"CLOSED YOUR MOUTH DEA!" angry Jacob.

Jacob's index finger pointed right at Dea's face, he stared intently at Dea who was now looking at him in surprise.

"What huh?! right, if you're still in love with Jeslyn! you were forced to divorce her because your love for Jeslyn was greater than your love for her!" dea.

"Don't talk Dea shit! from the beginning of the match, I did not love Jeslyn. Because of Jeslyn's father, my father died saving her and so the silly matchmaking happened!" jacob snapped while pulling back his hand.

Dea was surprised, she stared intently at Jacob who was also staring at her.

"It wasn't Jeslyn mas's father's fault! it's dad's destiny to be gone! maybe Jeslyn's father doesn't want that to happen to your father either!" dea.

"You know what you have to do with destiny, huh?! All this is his fault it's all his fault!" insist Jacob.

Dea shook her head, she did not understand why Jacob was so eager to avenge what had happened to his father.

"It looks like your psyche should be checked on mas," Dea said.
