"Freya, what do you want to eat?" ask Elizabeth.
"Just like the grandmother order. Freya likes all kinds of food" Freya replied.
Grandma Liza smiled, ordering the dishes as she wished. Friends of Liza's grandmother were very enthusiastic about Freya. Throwing a series of questions. Freya seemed to be an actress who was entangled in a scandal. Got dozens of questions that Freya herself didn't know the answer to. Freya answered only as she could. Most questions were answered by Liza's grandmother. Freya is so grateful to have in-laws like Liza's grandmother. Not only was Liza's grandmother friendly, but she also represented Freya answering questions related to Ansel. Freya has not known Ansel, Freya hesitates when it comes to answering questions about Ansel. Freya was afraid of mispronouncing.
Freya didn't want to lie to Grandma's best friend. However, it cannot be avoided. Freya grumbled in her heart believing that one little lie would lead to another. Like this time, one of Liza's grandmother's best friends asked her what Freya liked about Ansel. Freya has to be consistent. Freya answered like she said at the beginning of her meeting with Liza's grandmother. Freya liked Ansel at first sight. Freya has been fascinated by the good looks of Ansel's face ever since they met for the first time.
The room became excited, they cheered satisfied with the answer that was thrown from Freya's sweet lips. Even one of my grandmother's friends said he could guess Freya's answer. "Ansel is indeed very handsome, which woman can survive is not scattered because of it."
Elizabeth smiled listening to her daughter-in-law's granddaughter. Elizabeth already knew the true story that led Freya to marry Ansel of Haidar. Freya is indeed a good girl even too good for Ansel. Elizabeth was amazed Freya kept covering Ansel's selfishness.
"If only Ansel had been kinder, he would have been my son-in-law" another friend of Liza's grandmother's timbal said.
They are still busy talking, their topics are endless. Freya realized something, this is not a gathering of Liza's grandmother's friends but rather an Ansel's fan club. Freya just listened carefully to their conversation. Freya heard a lot of new things about her husband. Whether it's true or just an opinion from the friends of the grandmother. While Grandma did not dispute the words of her best friend, Freya was able to accept. It could be the truth that Freya doesn't know.
What good are the eyes and the brain, if Freya judges Ansel only by ear. It is certain that a group of beautiful creatures in this room really admire Ansel. Freya was also trying little by little to become like them. Admiring the positive things that her husband has without ignoring the negative things that are attached to Ansel. Freya understood Liza's grandmother's intentions of forcing her to join the Ansel fans. Grandma Liza wants Freya to open her heart to her favorite granddaughter. Freya will try her hardest to realize Grandma Liza's wish.
In this room there are not only friends who are the same age as grandma but there are also those who look the same age as Freya, some are even very young. Freya did not expect grandmother to have fans of Ansel club.
Freya's gaze immediately fell on a woman who entered the room gracefully. The woman immediately embraced Liza's friendly grandmother. Grandma Liza also greeted him warmly. Freya was just speechless, her mind filled with many questions about who and what this beautiful woman had to do with Ansel.
"Hi my beautiful cousin" said Angela.
Freya was still petrified when the woman greeted her. Looks like Freya just saw it for the first time. Seeing the silent Freya, Angela immediately hugged Freya. Freya did not remember who this woman was. Ansel never told me about his family. Freya only knew a handful of people who were close to Ansel. Can be counted with the fingers only grandmothers Liza, Haidar, Kyra and more recently Wardhana.
"I'm Angela. The only daughter of the King family" Angela explained who she was.
Angela parses a hug. Freya did not think that in front of her was the daughter of Liza's grandmother. Angela's pretty face disguises her age, making Freya almost dark-eyed. Freya had suspected that Angela was a candidate who had been betrothed to grandmother with Ansel but Ansel refused. I don't know where that thought came from. Freya was ashamed of her own thoughts. Freya could only smile wryly at Angela's explanation.
"Tante is very beautiful" said Freya.
"I'm the lucky one to be part of the King family. Can have a very good family like grandma liza and aunt Angela," said Freya.
Angela hugged Freya back. Angela is relieved, Ansel finds a woman as good as Freya. Although Angela knows for sure, that Freya does not love Ansel.
"Stay with Ansel. Even if you meet someone you may always love. Stay with Ansel. Because I understand the pain. The pain of loving someone one-sidedly. Especially if it's been years. Even so, the pain will be a little treated if our loved ones unilaterally remain near us" whispered Angela unraveling her embrace. Angela to tears. Angela felt how painful it was to be a part of King.
Freya's heart felt stabbed by a dagger hearing Angela's whisper. Freya was stunned, Angela's words were very touching. Seeing Angela tear up. Freya felt Angela's affection for Ansel was so great that she felt torn when she knew Freya did not love Ansel. Freya's hand shook, feeling very evil. It's been toying with the feelings of a man like Ansel. And use the kindness of the King family to cover up his family's problems.
"Yes I will always be on the side of Ansel" Freya said. Freya promised in her heart that she would hold fast to the words that came from her lips.
Angela wiped her tears. "All right, I'll keep your promise. Let's go eat. I'm hungry" Angela drew Freya's hand closer to the table full of fine dishes.
Freya ate a meal, her stomach was starving all day she had not eaten anything. Freya remembered her husband. Freya sent a message reminding Ansel not to miss his lunch.
Since Angela joined the Ansel fan club, the discussion has changed. No more talking about Ansel. They talked about the jewelry they were wearing. Worse this time, Freya could not follow the direction of their conversation. It's not that Freya doesn't wear jewelry. Freya did not understand jewelry. Let alone knowing who the designer, the price and where to buy jewelry that he wears Freya does not know. All Ansel has provided, Freya just choose which jewelry suits her without asking for details about the jewelry she chose. In the future Freya will ask the details first to Ansel, before wearing them at will.
The door opened, the knight came to pick up his wife. Angela runs to hug Ansel. Ansel is in a struggle, uncomfortable getting a hug from his aunt. Ansel releases Angela's embrace, ignoring Angela stepping towards Freya. Ansel leaned over and opened his mouth asking for a bribe from Freya. "Ansel hasn't eaten?" ask Freya.
Ansel shook his head, sitting next to his wife. Freya sighed, Ansel misunderstood the message he received. Freya did not take lunch together but told Ansel to eat wherever he was. Rice has become porridge. There was no way Freya would drive out the starving Ansel. Finally Freya feeds Ansel. There was no sense of awkwardness at all, Freya was already used to feeding Ansel. Freya was not aware all the gazes were fixed towards them. Awe-inspiring look at being able to watch Ansel live spoiling his wife. They smiled and were happy to see the romance of this couple. Although in the hearts of some people there was a hint of envy, wanting to switch places with Freya who was feeding Ansel.
