Kira's gaze and expression were clearer this time, warning Aneska more strongly about that someone.
But then, after a few moments of tension, and Aneska herself holding her breath, Kira smiled again, her facial expression and demeanor melting, returning to her usual warmth.
"Anyway, that's it, you have to be careful with that, Aneska," said Kira as if covering up the hard and cold expression earlier.
"I will remember it," said Aneska seriously.
After all, it was a warning, and Aneska felt bad about it—a bad momentary feeling.
"Even though it seems like many girls come, or even say hello, then ask about Edwin in a friendly manner as if they are close, but believe me, that's just their fake attitude. Edwin is quite loyal to the person he chooses," said Kira later.
"I'm curious, for example, what is it like?" Aneska asked.
“Hm. His first love," Kira answered confidently.
"First love?" Aneska repeated.
I've never met her, but that girl has quite an influence on Edwin. The child looked calm, peaceful, and warm, said Kira with a relaxed expression when telling the story, with a warm and happy smile on his face. His face.
Without realizing it, Aneska smiled as if she could feel the presence of Edwin's first love, even though for some reason Aneska's feelings were hurt. Without realizing a drop of tear came from the corner of her beautiful eyes, Aneska fell silent.
Kira didn't realize it because Aneska immediately wiped her tears out of confusion. How hurt her heart was, but her face was smiling, Aneska wanted to know what caused it. Could it be that Edwin's first love made Aneska jealous or jealous? So where does the pain in the heart come from?
“If I could turn back time, I would like to meet that girl. At that time, Edwin was still young, still at school. I don't know anything about that girl, but I can feel it through her smile and the aura that Edwin gives off, even now it remains in my memory even though more than seven years have passed."
Aneska's chest pounded when Kira mentioned that seventeen years had passed.
Aneska's body tensed, completely frozen. What does it mean? How did that happen?
Seventeen years ago, Aneska suddenly seemed to be thrown into the past, with her current figure, but in a dark and strange place, like in a dream.
“Aneska?” Kira's voice brought the girl out of her reverie.
"Yes?" The girl answered.
"Would you like something to drink?" Kira offered without suspicion.
"Oh?"
“Ah, I'll ask quietly to deliver the drinks. Talking too much makes me thirsty. Do you want it too?” Kira explained.
"Oh yes, of course. I want fresh ones," said Aneska.
Kira answered with a smile, it was clear that the woman liked Aneska.
With her cell phone on the table, Kira contacted the waiter at the mansion to deliver drinks to the garden where they were now.
Aneska just watched, part of her mind wondering what just happened. Is Aneska dreaming or what? The girl was confused.
"Oh yes. You remind me of that time, of the sweet aura that Edwin exuded," said Kira after hanging up the phone.
Aneska looked back at Kira, wanting to know what he had just said.
“About Edwin's first love. Even though I can't see it, I can feel it. Edwin has a warm attitude towards you, doesn't he?"
Kira's question reminded Aneska of Edwin's attitude this morning.
"Yes, there is," answered Aneska.
Kira smiled wider.
"I'm happy, Aneska," said Kira ambiguously.
But Aneska could understand the direction.
"Edwin is not completely cold, there are times when his attitude is warm, depending on his mood. "But I can feel Edwin's strong feelings right now," said Kira.
Aneska's jaw dropped, and it turned out to be true, Edwin changed his attitude according to his mood, even before meeting Aneska.
"That man is very strange," thought Aneska.
The housemaid came not long after. Not just one person, but several people with both hands busy holding a tray containing every item. A pot of orange juice, and other varied snacks. Aneska was stunned but realized that Kira's lifestyle had always been luxurious, and even if she was thirsty, she would definitely be offered something better to drink.
Their conversation stopped when the waiter served drinks and snacks on the table, and then after that, they left, leaving Kira with Aneska to continue their relaxing time.
Kira invited Aneska to enjoy the dish and the girl poured her the drink she wanted. Kira looked relieved after the cold water soothed her dry throat from talking too much.
"So, do you mind if I continue the story?" Kira asked.
“Oh, of course not. There are several things I want to know about Edwin," answered Aneska.
"Oh, I'm glad to hear that," Kira said happily. “Then I'll continue, and if you have any questions, don't hold back any longer, okay?”
Aneska nodded her head.
"So even though Edwin and Alendra's attitude is cold, they are united in their work. Besides, Edwin is almost like a perfect father. Oh yes, in the past Edwin was very pampered by his grandparents, but because they are no longer in this world, his attitude changed. Edwin was reluctant towards his father, but obeyed every word he said even though he was reluctant." Kira wrinkled her nose when he said that.
Aneska chuckled, she wasn't the only one who thought like that, apparently Edwin's own mother also thought so.
"But rest assured, you are lucky to get Edwin, and Edwin is luckier to get you," added Kira.
However, there was a feeling of uncertainty in Aneska's heart regarding this matter. What luck does Aneska have? Will this impact Edwin or the Zeelar family? Something still bothers Aneska because she can believe everything Kira says, even with her feelings.
"Oh yes. If possible, I would like to know more about the Zeelar family. Maybe in the future, I can behave better if I meet other families," said Aneska.
There are several things Aneska wants to know about the Zeelar family's relationship with the others. With Giana, they are still one family, but Edwin's attitude towards Micah is not good, in fact Micah was the one who triggered the wound in Edwin's heart, or in the man's past.
"That's right, the Zeelar Family," said Kira.
Aneska waited for what Kira would say.
“You wouldn't be able to count it, but it's enough to describe it as a big family. Alendra only has one younger sister as his younger sibling. Meanwhile, I have three brothers. I am the second child with an older brother and a younger brother. The extended family could be our parents, cousins, and so on, that's how it is. No need to worry, Micah is the only one who has problems, and the others are normal. Next time I will introduce you to our brothers.” Kira touched Aneska's arm warmly with a mother's gentle gaze.
Even though it's not satisfactory, at least it's enough.
Kira continued the conversation with light things related to Aneska's daily life before entering the big house, and how the girl grew up with a foster family. Aneska admitted that she had forgotten the past and what it was like to be an adopted child, but the girl admitted that she was quite happy.
But rest assured, the past he forgot is a big wound that will be revealed in the future. Can Aneska overcome it, or can Edwin stay with her when Aneska's past is revealed?
