A car was passing by with a driver driving it, and two girls sitting on the backseat.
Suddenly the car stopped.
"What's wrong, mister driver?" the girl asked.
"I can't go further"
"What! Why?"
"The road is blocked and vehicles like taxis are not allowed"
"No way! We are already late!"
"I can't do anything, miss. If I go further, I might get fired from my job"
"Don't worry. My boyfriend is the king--friend! My boyfriend is a close friend of the king"
"I can't do that, miss. You have to go by foot from here"
"But--"
"Leave it El. We will walk"
"We are already late! We can't--"
"You are just wasting more time like this"
"Fine"
They both got out of the car.
"What do we do now, Sely?"
"We will walk"
"But it's like 40 minutes walk from here!"
"We can run"
"It's all your fault" Elena said, puffing her cheeks.
"I already apologized, didn't I?"
"But we are still late. What if Das is angry?"
"Who cares?"
"I care! This is a very important day for him, and you...you ruined it!"
"El"
"What?"
"Do you maybe think I was late on purpose?"
Elena averted her gaze and said, "I don't"
"Look me in the eyes and say that again"
"...."
Elena didn't say anything.
"Really, El? Is that how little you trust me?"
"It's not like that. I am just...frustrated"
"It's all because of him! He made you like that!" her tone suddenly changed.
"Don't say that. He is my husband now, you know?"
"I don't care"
"And he is your brother in law now"
Selena's face flashed a little as she said, "I don't acknowledge him as my brother in law"
"So...do you acknowledge him as my husband?"
"That's..."
"Hmm?"
Selena averted her gaze and said, "I don't"
"Look me in the eye and say it again"
"Don't use my own technique on me"
"Tell"
"I do--"
Ring~
Elena's phone rang, and she immediately took it out from her purse and answered it.
"Das!"
'She never picks up my calls this quickly' Selena thought.
She wanted to say that, but held herself back. Because that call saved her from answering something even she might not know.
"Das!"
[Where are you?!]
"There was too much traffic"
'Look at the face she is making. Like she is worried that he might scold her' Selena thought.
[Where are you?]
"The taxi driver dropped us off near the palace"
'What is he saying? Is he scolding her?' Selena couldn't help but worry what they were talking about.
[Of course he would. No vehicles are allowed]
"We are walking our way to the Royal Garden"
'It's not El's fault in the first place. It is my fault. I should talk to him' Selena took the phone from Elena's hand.
[It will take 40 minutes]
'There is worriedness in his voice'
"So what?"
'No! What am I saying? I should tell him that it's me. There is no way he would be able to figure out I am Selena'
[And I already engaged Lier]
'He had to say that?!'
"I don't care"
[What?]
'Heh! He must be freaking out by now'
"I am not coming there to see you engage some other girl"
'That's right. I am just going there to see him--I mean...I am going there so Elena can see him. She was missing him too much, and they haven't met in--'
[Selena. Give the phone back to Elena]
'How?! There is no way anyone can figure out...I hate him!'
"Tch. He can even recognize us from voices"
Selena gave the phone back to Elena.
"Sorry, Das. She just took my phone suddenly"
[It's okay]
"The engagement is over?"
[Yes]
"Nuuu. I wanted to wish you two"
[You can still do it. Hey, just go to the palace, and tell the guards to call Daulla. She will let you guys in. I am coming over there to pick you up]
"Don't! We will come there"
[But you--]
"Don't leave Lier alone. It's a very happy moment for her"
[Fine. But please come quickly]
"We will be there in 20 minutes"
[Don't run]
"We won't!"
[Bye]
"I love you"
[Love you too]
Elena put the phone back in her purse.
"Sely, you idiot"
"Why?!"
"The engagement ended"
"What does it matter?"
"What if Lier thought I missed it on purpose?"
"Let her think whatever she wants"
"Don't be mean, Sely"
"I am talking completely in a sense"
"You do some things that I don't like"
"I am just worried about you"
"You even caused a ruckus when Das came to our home"
"I seriously wanted to punch him"
"You can't punch him"
"What else do you expect me to do after what he said?"
When Das and Angela went to Elena's house, Selena was also present there.
Das had already informed Elena that he and Angela would be coming to her home to inform her dad about his engagement with Lier.
When they reached her house, Selena, Rebecca, Lukas and Elena, all of them were waiting for them.
The atmosphere was already serious even before they came.
When Das informed Lukas that he would be engaging with his cousin, Lier, Lukas exploded with rage.
He was dead set about divorcing Das and Elena. And even called his lawyer friends for support.
After many comments and remarks Angela convinced him.
She had to bow down and say "My son will take care of your daughter like you ever could"
Lukas felt so disgusted by his own actions, and soon later he agreed. But warned Das that if Elena ever cried because of him, he would have them divorced.
And as for Selena...well, she wasn't convinced.
She had already made a different plan of action against Das, which were unfortunately legal.
She could have Das and Elena divorced, but something inside her didn't want to do that.
Then she asked Das "How many more girls do you have except Elena?" and Das honestly replied, "2 more besides Lier and Elena"
Her feelings and emotions went wild.
A part of her was angry, and the other part of her genuinely happy.
