Trapped in the Past
SEASON 2 [EPISODE 25]

...Happy Reading...

Regaz approached the aloof Athera on the balcony of the room while standing. Athera looked at the sky with a smile.

"What makes you so happy?" ask Regaz with both hands touching the balcony railing.

"Athena's an adult and she's going to have a family. It's been our story so far" replied Athera.

"You just realized it? I continue to enjoy every moment with you so I understand how long I've always been by your side happily."

Athera snorted as she looked at Regaz who was also looking at her. " Do you remember the beginning of our meeting?"

"Oh, obviously! You slapped me, "Regaz replied as he touched his cheek.

"You happy?"

"Of course, that's a love slap. You should be proud to have conquered an indifferent man like me becoming infatuated with you" Regaz said with a haughty smile.

Athera chuckled and was about to look at the sky again but, his movements were held back by Regaz's pair of large hands.

They were meeting each other. He remembered all the bad events that once filled his love story become more valuable.

"You're sad' right because Athena's going to stay with Kaizer?" ask Regaz.

As Ahera flinched, her eyes glazed over and not long after, tears rolled down and down her cheeks. Regaz smiled and pulled his wife's body into a warm embrace. Athena made Regaz relieved, his wife is always strong when in fact fragile and need a backrest to cry.

"Don't you allow it yourself?" Regaz.

"Hm, I'm sure he'll be happy. If she was with a man who loved her so much, would in any world our daughter would be safe, just like us," Athera said.

"of course. You need to be safe with me, if you're not safe then I'm not safe either."

"Why?"

"Well, if you're not safe, then I'll blame myself. I love you even though you're so annoying."

Athera returned Regaz's embrace tightly with a smile.

"I hate you so much."

"Indeed it is usually like that, from hate to love, such things do happen often. Sometimes because we hate each other, we are always met in bad situations and then will be close to a fight and after that will be interested in each other's problems until finally understanding each other."

"Huh, you're very good at answering it" Athera said.

"Because I've experienced it. Ah, by the way, we should go to bed early because tomorrow there's a day where our daughter is getting married."

Athera threw a glance into her room then shook her head while strengthening her embrace.

"I still want to be here with you" she said.

Regaz gave a smile as he nodded. "All right."

...***...

...REDHEL CITY...

Frenzied sounds filled the redhell city, immortal beings and humans joined forces to enliven the wedding feast of Kaizer as well as Athena. The two brides seemed to be sitting on a throne while looking at the people.

During the trip, Athera always displayed various expressions.

"They're merfolk?" ahera asked as they passed by a lake.

Gavin nodded. Athera thought that mermaids were beautiful women but in reality they had green, snake-like hair as well as a wide mouth filled with large, sharp teeth.

"They're just being wary of people who aren't from this world, they're all charming" Gavin explained with an awkward smile.

Athera sighed and then said, "Em, can you tell them to change to their original form?"

Gavin nodded, "Of course, Your Majesty."

Gavin approaches the mermaids while Athera stays by Regaz's side while watching Gavin talk to the mermaids.

Whoa!

"They're very pretty" praised Athera when she saw the change of the mermaids.

While Regaz only stared flatly at the mermaids who began to glance at him. Although he is old, Regaz still looks younger than his age, he still looks very handsome and dashing.

"It looks like we have to go around somewhere else" Regaz said as he stared at the faithful Athera looking at the mermaids.

"What's wrong?"

"That's ...." Regaz looked a bit doubtful.

Athera turned towards Regaz as the man seemed to hang up his sentence with an uncomfortable expression. Then as if to understand, Athera stared at the mermaids, it turns out her husband became the center of attention.

"We can go somewhere else" Athera told Gavin.

But before that Gavin said something to the mermaids. "They are His Majesty's in-laws, you must maintain your attitude."

Instantly the look of the mermaids changed and immediately lowered his head.

Regaz and Athera continue their journey with Gavin as their guide. The man is heartbroken because Athena is married to Kaizer so he better avoid being Kaizer's guide-in-law.

Now, they were in a flower garden that looked like an ocean. It is really beautiful even more so many small fairies that move and glow like fireflies.

Athera hugged Regaz and looked up to look at her husband.

"We've seen three different worlds, what other worlds will we meet together?"

Regaz rubbed the top of his wife's head gently.

"It looks like we should continue together like this. That mirror of fate-changer makes us meet each other and carve out a love story full of magic."

Athera is really happy at the moment, once again he witnessed amazing things with Regaz. He hopes that time will not repeat itself because moments like this are very difficult to get.
