AS soon as he turned off the engine, I went out of the car and I didn't wait for him. This is what he wants, to see the old me, then I'll show it to him. Even if this will only bring me sadness.
"LEYYYY!" Hera, my one and only younger sister immediately greeted me. "I missed you so much." She hugged me tight to the point where I couldn't breathe.
Hera was my total opposite. She may feel too pressured because she grew up seeing me as a liberated and famous person. So, she chooses to be old-fashioned. Do I like seeing her like that? Maybe, so that no one will try to court her, But sometimes it still annoys me seeing her dress like that.
"How's married life?" she asked me while hugging me tightly.
"Gross and disgusting." I rolled my eyes when I saw that daddy has met Hunter. They hugged and then talked. "But challenging and I love it," I added then sat down.
We are sitting in our visiting area, in the garden where my mom personally takes care of her plants. There is a lot of different kind of flowers that really bloom with beauty and fragrance. Hera and I sat there first followed by the maid who brought a drink.
"Ley, did you pop your cherry already?" I spilled the juice that I drink. Of all the things that she can ask, I didn't expect her to be curious about my sex life. Sometimes I think that maybe she's just pretending to be old-fashioned. Goodness gracious, Well we're sisters. I think her curiosity about this is normal since she is still young.
"Gosh, you're blushing. That means Hunter has already pop your cherry." She blurted out while laughing.
"Hey!" I slapped lightly her shoulder but instead of getting angry she just laughed and laughed. If Hera started laughing like this, no one can stop her.
"Damn, disgusting. I can't imagine you and Hunter doing those things," she added.
"Hera Amaranth, stop it." She stops immediately. She knew when I called her full name, It meant she needs to stop. She just gives me a peace sign while having a smile on her lips.
"Hi, sweety." I immediately stood up when I heard Mom's voice behind me. I hugged her tightly when I approached her then I started to cry.
"Is there a problem sweety?" she asked me while rubbing my back. I started to sob harder when I felt her hand on my back. I feel relieved by her hug. Though I can't even tell her everything that goes on inside my heart.
"I'm just happy. And I really missed you," I said, hugging her even tighter. She stroked my back more while also hugging me.
"I miss you more baby." That's when I cry much harder. I feel like a child crying because I can't say I'm being bullied at school. But at the same time, it seems like all the pain I went through with Hunter is gone. I felt so relieved. She slightly moves away to look at me.
"No matter what happens, always remember that I am here to support you no matter what. Even if I'm far away, call me and I'll be there with you. Ok?" I nodded at her as I wiped away my tears.
"What's with the crying ladies?" We all looked at daddy and Hunter at the same time.
"Nah! Ley just missed me." Mom smile at dad. Dad opens his arms as if he's waiting for me to come and hug him.
"How about me baby?" My tears immediately dripped while walking towards my dad. And when I hugged him I started to cry again.
"You never change honey, you still cry when we get away from you, huh?" I didn't answer him, I just nodded. "A daughter will always be a king's princess, even if she's a queen to her own kingdom. Hunter, did you treat my princess like a queen?" Hunter looked at us. I remove myself from my dad
"Of course dad, your princess, who's my queen is the ruler of our kingdom." He then looked at me and smiled.
'I hope everything you said in front of my father is true Hunter. But we both know that's a lie, you're just scared to let them know the truth'
"Stop the drama," dad said and we sat down one by one. Hunter even helped me to sit down. Then came the food.
"Hunter, when will you give me a niece? Ley said you already popped her cheery, has anything formed yet?"
"Hera!" dad scolds Hera.
"What? I'm just asking. Duh!" she rolled her eyes then continue to eat.
"I think, your sister is right, Hailey, when are you going to have a baby?" mom asked again so I looked at Hunter.
"I am ready mom, but I think Hunter is not ready ." I gulp when I said that. "He's still prioritizing some important things." I slowly turned my head down pretending to be sad. But the truth is I didn't want to meet Hunter's gaze.
"Really? What's wrong with having a baby while doing some stuff? You're not the one who will get pregnant, and when Hailey delivered the baby, you can hire a nanny." Hunter was immediately silent on daddy's question and drank some water first as dad asked another question.
"Aren't the properties you own not enough? Do you still think that you couldn't afford to give your child a comfortable life? I will double your assets, oh, I'll make it triple, just give us a grandchild. "
"It's not like that dad." Hunter finally answered. "I just want to spend more time with my wife. You know, we didn't really know each other before marriage. So I want to know her more, and make more memories with her."
"Hunter is right dad, the way you offer to double his properties it's like you're buying his sperm cell to make your daughter get pregnant. Let them make the baby full of love," Hera said while laughing.
"Hera!"
"Yes, I will keep my mouth shut."
Dad looked at me straight in the eyes, I could feel that he really want to push this conversation but chose not to and just sigh defeatedly.
"Whatever makes you happy, I will always support you, Hailey. But remember, everything doesn't last long." He paused and smiled. "Forget what I said, let's eat."
