***
My name is Emerta. I am an artificial man. My father gave me a name. I was born to a very strong father. Besides me, I also have four other brothers. We were born from the same cell.
I'm five years old now. My brothers are younger than me. I am the oldest brother. That's why I was born with so many defects. I was the first try, so it was perfectly natural.
Father said, I am not at all similar to a human even though I have strong powers. He said I had no emotions and no heart. Maybe he's right and I can't do anything about it either.
Then one day an unexpected accident occurred. All my brothers died in that accident. My father demanded revenge on his perpetrators and never returned. Until the world proclaims death and its evil simultaneously.
I'm the only one left. I have to live alone without knowing anything about the world.
Dad said I failed. He's correct. I cannot interact in a human community. I was confused if I was human. But my form is very similar to human even though I am only artificial.
At first, I thought artificial humans wouldn't be able to do something like other normal humans. But it's wrong. I also need to eat and drink. I can also increase my magic power if I practice. I can do everything except fix my facial expressions and emotions.
I'm still the same as a human. Although all humans are away from me because I can't socialize.
Then one day there was an unexpected event. Who would have thought that I could like another human being. They say it as being in love.I don't know if I'm in love or not. But I don't deny that I really like someone.
Someone I like is a wandering man. He told me his identity himself. And I just trust him.
"introduce. My name is Dirga" she said with a big smile.
This is our first meeting. I did not respond to him and ignored his introduction.
After that, he always followed me. I always ignored him, but he never gave up. So I can just let her follow me. Over time, I got used to the man's stalker.
We also went through a lot together. And without realizing it, I became more and more familiar and attached to her. Until I finally really liked the guy and didn't want to take him off my side.
Our lives went on peacefully, until she found out that I was a dark witch. Ever since she knew my true identity, she looked at me with different eyes.
I don't know if he hates me or not. But he always shied away from me. So I concluded, she really hates me.
Yeah, he should have hated me. But my guess is wrong. He returned to normal after a few days.
"I'm sorry. I just need some time to accept that reality" she said with an embarrassed face. After a long time, he just gave me a reason for his attitude. I'm so mad. So I started ignoring him again. But he kept following me. So that the initial pattern of our relationship happened again.
Without feeling I've traveled a year with Dirga. Our relationship is getting better. Some people even said we were a couple. And I don't deny that either.
But I doubt enough, if I can be a worthy partner for Dirga. I am just a fake human being.
Two more years passed. Dirga. With the ring in her hand she knelt in front of me. "Will you marry me? I will take you back to my kingdom" he said.
I nodded slowly. I agreed to go with him. I'm happy right now. But when I look at the glass, my expression remains flat. I can't smile, laugh or cry.
"I am indeed a cripple." I muttered softly while kneading my cheeks and face.
Or maybe my facial muscles weren't well formed when Dad made me? So I absolutely cannot use any expression with this face.
I followed Dirga back to her house. Not a house, he said it was a kingdom far enough away.
"You know, I ran away from home because there was too much conflict in my house. I don't know what the situation is right now..." Dirga said while holding my hand.
I can't respond much. So I just said, "Maybe everything's okay"
After that we ran through the forest.
It takes a month to get there to get there. And arrived at a very large house.
I tilted my head and thought. This is the first time I have entered such a magnificent building. They say it's a palace. And usually I can only see buildings like this from afar. But now I'm setting my foot in this place.
"Your Majesty" everyone knelt down when they saw us coming. Of course they don't kneel for me because I'm nobody. It all happened because of Dirga.
Even though I was confused and there were so many questions in my brain, I remained silent. Until Dirga finally took me to a room.
"I'm sorry I lied to you. I am a prince in this country" Dirga said with a regretful face. "After knowing, do you still want to stay with me?"
I nodded in agreement "No problem".
He got the news that this conflict was over a year ago. But he didn't come back because he wanted to be with me. Should I be happy after hearing that reason?
Actually I'm very happy. But I can't express this happiness on my face.
Dirga asked me to stay in his palace because there are still many conflicts left. To be honest, I don't want to be in conflict in this kingdom. Because it'll take up my time. But, because this kingdom is the home of Dirga. I helped him.
Once Dirga begged me to save someone very important to her. A girl who was his childhood friend. The girl was held captive by the nobles who became her enemies.
I helped her without thinking of anything. I helped the girl. I also annihilated all the enemies that blocked his path. I'm strong anyway.
I did it so that the man could live comfortably. I also do it for my own benefit. Because I want to stay with Dirga. I also want a peaceful life.
But unfortunately it will never happen to me. Because one day that girl, Dirga's childhood friend stated a reality that I find very difficult to accept.
"Dirga wouldn't have brought you here if he didn't need your strength! He doesn't love you at all. She loves me. So get out of here and don't disturb our relationship!" the girl nagged at me interspersed with sobs.
I didn't say anything to him and just stared. Honestly, I don't trust that girl. I've lived with Dirga for a long time. You could say I believed it.
The days passed. I live comfortably in the palace. Dirga's attitude is still as usual to me. So my suspicions of her really faded because of it.
But one day, a very grand feast was held in the palace. I, who was always locked in my room, decided to look. I have never attended a big party. So I'm very curious about that.
But who would have thought that it turned out to be a wedding. Even more surprising was the wedding of Dirga and her childhood friend.
I froze in shock when I saw the two couples sitting on the throne smiling at everyone.
My mind rages on a lot of things.
Why didn't Dirga tell me about this?
Why did Dirga hide everything from me?
Why does Dirga still allow me to stay in the palace?
Why did Dirga lie to me?
I'm so sad right now. The marriage Dirga promised me would never happen. Or could I have heard wrong? Or is Dirga's proposal just my hallucination?
I am so sad. My heart feels torn now. But unfortunately, I didn't cry at all. And my expression is still as flat as ever.
I saw the two smiling couples one last time. After this incident, I will never trust anyone again.
"Good bye"
I said my final farewell words before I left the palace. And back to my early life as a wanderer.
But who would have thought that I brought something when I left that palace. Yes, I'm pregnant.
I've told everyone I can't get pregnant. Who would have thought I would get pregnant? I am an artificial man. Moreover I am a defective item. This is something unexpected and surprising.
I rubbed my stomach thinking I should abort this child. If I wanted to, I could do it easily using magic or potions. But I broke my intention. I was wondering how to give birth to a baby. So I'll take good care of the baby.
Day by day passed. I was traveling alone with the baby. Actually I want to settle down somewhere, but I can't. My dangerous status will only be a fugitive of the whole world. Dark witches would not be able to calmly live somewhere, unless they had enough status to hide.
My stomach is getting bigger every day. The baby will be born into the world. I'm really enthusiastic.
Until the day of birth. I prepared my own labor. It's easy enough because I have so many healing herbs, so I don't have to feel the pain.
The baby was born too. A very small baby girl. The baby kept sobbing until I gave him milk.
As I held her in my arms, she felt very soft. It's like he's a perishable thing if you press him.
After the baby stopped crying, I lifted her up and our eyes looked up. The baby suddenly smiled widely as he waved his hand.
DEG!
Seeing that smile, my heart was pounding. I felt something slowly change in me. The baby gave me a strange sensation. I didn't even realize I was crying right now.
"This is the first time I've cried. Why am I rebuking" I wiped my tears. This was the first time I felt tears with my hands.
I am confused by my feelings. Am I happy? I'm very happy. Am I sad? But I was crying.
I put the baby back in my warm embrace and stroked her until she fell asleep.
"Welcome to the world, Diana...."
