Alpha King of Water

LOVER’S QUARREL

ZARYA’S POV

I fixed all my things. It was about sundown. Hali decided to go home. That means I had no friends there. No someone who would I talk to. No laugh. Pure training.

My eyes went to the door. Khal was standing there. He was watching me put some of my stuff in my bag. I actually had no stuff, but Rozella gave these. The mirror of a princess, she said. The robe for bathing. It was all a gift since I had no things in my room. I admitted to her that I was living with Hali. I just did not say that the palace was a kingdom, not a house. I just said I was his maid.

“Are you gonna back?” Khal slowly walked towards me. He climbed on the bed, observing my actions.

“Depends.” I was about to put the metal round brush in my bag when he held my hand. I was surprised by his action. I stared straight into his eyes.

“Depends on Hali?” I smoothly pinched the back of my hand.

I nodded my head slightly. The depths of his eyes were telling me something, but I could not understand what was that. I let out a gentle sigh while I was examining his expression. Khal was a great companion like other guys, like Colden. I felt comfortable wherever I was with them where I could not pretend. I could show my emotion, my sadness, my craziness. It was hard to gain such wonderful friends, but I needed to say goodbye for now. I had no exact place, no home, but with Hali, my safety was secure.

The curves on my lips were formed. “Thank you for your kindness.” I put my left hand on his hand. My lips parted as he caressed my hand, placing it on his cheek while the smile was on his lips and eyes.

“I’ll wait. I’ll tell you something.”

I could not help but widen my grin. Good to know that I had reason to go to the Human World when Freedom Day occurs. Before, every time I was thinking of the Human World, the pain was automatically traced into my chest. I only reminisce the day my family died. Now, I could think of the happy memories with Hali’s friends including Khal, Rozella, Alisha, Froy, and Tan Tan. I never wonder why Hali was visiting them. They were really good people.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Froy jumped on the bed. Automatically, our hands separate as if they were burned. “So what the status?” He glanced at me and then at Khal. His eyebrows were wiggling as if teasing us would make his day complete.

“Status?” Khal washed his face through the use of his hands. They wrestled each other, messing around with my acting room in my stay here. It was truly a wide house. All of us had a room.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I chuckled as I was watching them. They were like brothers. When tan Tan came, he jumped on the bed, too. After a few seconds, Hali came and he climbed to the bed, too. Take note, with smile on his lips. Hali had two personalities, the Mad King and a joker.

They seemed so happy together even after Alisha and Rozella came. I was not so sure why they gathered into my room. I was in the middle of my cleaning of the room when Rozella hugged me from behind.

“I will miss you, Zarya Girl.”

The grin ear by ear was written on my expression when I faced her. “Me, too. Rozella Girl.” We both laughed at each other.

“Can I join?” We all looked at the door when Zephyrus was there, standing with his two eyebrows up.

“No! You do not belong with the circle of friends.” Hali refused immediately as he was fighting the hands of his friends rolling on his body.

“I don’t care if I’m not!” Zephyrus laughed so loud when he joined the riot on the bed. It was so fun with those boys. I was a little down because we did not get all the most of the time. We did not go to the bar or meet random friends due to the threats of the enemies. I was just worrying about them. We had no idea what should happen next from the moment we walk away from Khal’s mansion.

After the bonding, we gathered at the sofa area near the entrance of the mansion. They said their goodbyes. Alisha and Rozella pecked on my lips while the boys just waved their hands on me.

Rozella went to my ear and whispered. “I don’t like Kastrid. Stay away from that bitch.”

I chuckled shortly before I talked. “Me, too.”

“She seems, she doesn’t do good to you. Look at how high her eyebrow is.” Alisha continued the conversation.

So they like me? That was why they were tailing on me wherever I went. That was a good idea though. Hali could not drag me into the room again because I had been with the girls.

“Goodbye, Zarya Girl.” The two girls did not separate their bodies from me during our walk out of the house.

“We’ll see each other again!”

Khal went closer to me and placed something on my hand. “I don’t know if there’s a signal on your world, but if it has… please call me.”

I looked down at my hand. It was a white touch screen cellphone that seemed expensive. When I was here, in college, this was the brand of phone that I wanted to have, but sadly, we were poor, so my parents could not afford it.

“This is… expensive. I can’t take thi一”

“Get that! We can use that if there’s a signal. We need to contact them minute by minute to ensure their safety.” Hali interrupted the conversation. He left me no option therefore I accepted it.

“Thank you.”

“Is the farewell taking long? An hour? Or what? They’ll not gonna die. Go inside!” Kastrid was peeking at the window. Her left eyebrow was raised as if it was glued in that position.

I glanced at Khal again before I hopped in. There was a sadness in their eyes even though they were beaming. Khal was glowing in his simple plain v-neck shirt and simple black shorts and a slipper.

“Farewell, Buddy!” The boys tapped the back of Hali.

“Don’t forget to visit us again. Seems like moths before you go back.” Froy chuckled as he dragged Hali inside the car. I thought they had an idea what was Hali was, but they did not spell it out since they knew Hali was not ready to talk about it. However, Khal was the only one who knew it.

I waved my hands again when the engine was starting. It was hard to say goodbye to those people who became close in your heart even just for days.

“Missing Khal?” Hali was seriously looking in front as he asked me. He was in the middle of me and Kastrid.

“Of course, she is. Being a whore is like being with the guy wherever you go.” Kastrid’s voice had an effect of annoyance to me.

“You don’t know her life. Don’t talk too much.” It was unexpected when Hali, for the first time, defended me on her. “She’s a decent woman than yours.”

“Because I am just a whore? Does it make me not decent?” Kastrid talked back. The respect was nowhere to find.

“That came from you.” Hali’s voice was low. He glimpsed at me and then look at the road again.

“I wondered… where in the world did you pick that whore?” Kastrid pointed his forefinger at me.

“Are you calling her by that title or yourself? I told you she’s not a whore.” I could see that Hali was starting to be annoyed, a little bit of force and the fight would be held on the car.

“She is! You are f*cking her the way you f*cked me!” Kastrid’s voice was full of insecurities. Maybe she was jealous of me that was why she was mad at me. Hali was silent. He did not bother to respond to her.

“You silent because I’m right! You said I’m your only woman! Why the hell did you bring that woman to the kingdom!”

“You’re talking with your king. Lower your voice.” I could see that Hali was avoiding himself to burst into anger. His jaw was locked and hard.

“Am I nothing to you because of her! Am I!” She was getting into boundaries. I kept silent as I knew that anytime Hali would be a monster when he began to be annoyed. “I saw you walking into her room! You一”

“Close your mouth or I’m gonna throw you back to where you came from! Zarya is not my woman! We just have an agreement! How many times that I need to spell that words to you!”

In an instant, I was shocked. My system was surprised. Hali seemed like totally caring for her. They looked like a… lover. When Hali said, Kastrid was his woman in front of his friends. He was not lying, right?

Okay. I’m out with the lover’s quarrel.
