The brown and black attire neatly pictures the leader of the lilacs. Even though in his 40's, he is still a good-looking man. The man strides towards the girl who is sitting on the dark purple sheets. His eyes wet with love and constraint desires and longings to the trembling girl.
"Rya honey, daddy is home ... Don't you miss me?" Robert takes a bit of space beside the bed. The girl is in a muddled situation. She keeps still and quiet, staring at the man on guard. A screen pops out to save the situation...
[ Jasmine Lilac | Nicknamed Rya ]
'Oh...I see...' She fretts. How could she have known this if the character's information is missing? But how is she supposed to respond to this man? She never had a father before to interact with...
Ava nods slightly earning a silent from the man. "Are you alright honey?" He opens in turmoil. Usually, this lovely daughter of his is quiet and shy. She always responds with a yes to ease his worried heart but now this girl just nodded...
Ava is in stupor once more. And the mission on the screen in front of her is not helping!
[Mission: Obtain the Lilac's light statue]
You should give me a choice on what to say! Missions can wait!... Stupid incomplete system!... Ava studies the man in front on her instantly letting down her guard a little bit. To achieve the mission, she needs to conquer this man. The more powerful connection she gets, more faster this mission will end. However, to get this man's favour...
"Honey, are you fine...?" The man brushes her hairs to the side and cups her face. Ava stares at the man with gleaming eyes. Tears hang on the edge but she blocks her face with the blanket. Robert opens his eyes wide in shock. His hands invariably flailing in the air trying to find a way to stop the girl's precious tears. He tries to offers presents and thousands of gifts but the girl shook it off-putting him in a difficult situation...
Under all the commotion, Ava laughs secretly under the blanket. This man certainly has feelings for the girl... How shameless! Making the girl a substitute for the mother. That is why she felt the need to be careful with him. How could he? A man who kills his own wife he thought he “love” for the sake of pleasure in a new woman he never tried before. A man who brings the dirty woman and her children inside the house but still crying like an insane animal in front of his “beloved” grave. To cares and protects the now “beloved daughter” and spoils her... more than his young exotic mistress?
That is too much... Don't you think?
Ava adjusts her expression and reveals from the blanket. The design of tears in her eyes moistens the green dusty-pink cheeks. Her eyebrows scrunch lightly showing the fragility and vast amount of sadness she felt. Robert dazes in awe. He had never seen this girl cried before? He never thought that the girl would ever cry in front of him!...
His gazes soften. Looking at the face he recognises extensively, the girl's silky black hair and the clear violet eyes. Her features are exactly like her mother... The only woman he ever loves in his whole life...
"Honey...why are you crying...?" He consults with her gently trying to figure out the cause. Ava stares at him, her lips form a little pout to present her emotion. Robert is too surprised to react...' this girl... Is she sulking? '
The next event surprises him much more than before. The girl jumps onto him and hugs him tightly silently crying on his chest. He is stunted on the spot... thousands of butterfly flutters never-ending in his stomach almost bursting through his limbs...Exceedingly blowing his mind away!
"Daddy where go?..." She asks lowly so that only she and the man can hear it. Robert never smiles in his life ever since the death of his wife. But for the sake of the girl in his arm, he hugs her back delicately combing her hairs between his fingers and smiles in pleasure. "I just came back from... meeting someone I know..." Daddy is sorry for leaving you alone but if you go outside then I will lose the only source of love in my life...
The girl keeps her silent and tilts her head from his chest. Her big shiny eyes stare at the man, trying to manage her emotions. Unaware, she presses herself too much on the blanket making her swollen bums whacks in an accident. "Ouch...!" She shrieks then just as quickly blocks her mouth...
"Did mother do anything to you?" The man asks sternly demanding an answer. Ava really wants to break it all! But to get excellent revenge is by stabbing behind someone's back... So exposing this pair of mother and twins will destroy her “magical” strategy...
"Me fell from... From the mister many squares..." She answers while looking at the stairs where you use to fetch books that had been kept in higher areas.
"Really...!?" He glares at the criminal 'Stairs' that almost shatters his daughter. Mr.many squares ... 'I didn't do anything...!'
"Next time, ask a maid to get it for you... Daddy doesn't like you to get hurt...." He supports the girl's face with his palms. This girl is very precious... She should not get hurt even once... Even a scratch cannot get onto her! He scolds in his heart... Robert doesn't know why he treasures this girl so much... He never really cares about her origin until the day his ex-wife dies...
Ava studies the man features. He is quite a charming man and she can't deny it...the black shiny hair that slicked to the back uncovers the matched eyebrows. His irises bloom in the colours of the oceans generating a tremendous wave that can drown a person. His lips are chapped with a small tint of dark red which gives a glow to the light green skin. He is complete! Nonetheless, his skin is attached to the flesh completely while the girl sure reveals some bones...
The world is an unfair place for the weak...
Ava pouts for the second time but this one is not an act... She is honestly annoyed by this judgement. By the time I complete all the mission in this world... You are going to pay for what you did to this girl's mother!
Robert watches the change in emotions of the child in front of him. "Rya, are you still mad...?" He asks worries that the girl would be to upset for leaving her too long. He just came back with his son from the big project. The Rail building project to make a name for the empire. He leaves for two months just to see her daughter's fallen tears... If he knew that this would happen... This girl will certainly be brought with him... But usually, the girl cowers in fear every time he comes closer...
Ava quickly dissipates the sudden drop of the guard. This man is really dangerous! She could misplace sentiment from losing focus and it would not be good when she faces the others in this family...
"Me is hungry ..." Your “nice and lovely” wife hasn't fed me for a week! If I am a human then I would starve to death...and now I need to cope with this foolish girl's talk... How could you ignore her education! This will bring misery to her one day... Cause ignorant is a sin!
Robert smiles in delight. Never had he heard a request from the girl. Mostly, he would put the things in front of her bed and wait for it to be taken. Jasmine never asks for anything because her mother said that the man is a stranger that could not be trusted and you cannot accept something from outsiders! But he always gives away things and if she didn't accept, he would throw it to the rubbish bins. Her mother also teaches her to appreciate even the smallest thing and so she will always pick it up and merrily cherish it...
"Then...wait for daddy here... I will bring your lunch" Robert stands from the bed about to exit the door when his jacket pulls from behind. He searches for the person who stops him and meets the girl's delicate face once again. "Yes, honey what is it?" His rough hand pats her head watching it bows from the pressure...
"Can...can me eats...together?" Robert ogles upon hearing this request. He swore...this girl never gets along with his mistress or her son or the twins. He actually hopes that the twins would be befriended with her but when they met... The twins said that this girl hates them? Because of that, he never forces her out of her room...
"Are you sure honey?" The man kneels on the clean floor and nuzzles his hands on the girl's cheeks once again. "You don't have to force yourself..." The girl nods her head, determined to go... Robert will never ignore her request on anything. If the girl wants the moon he will gladly do everything he can to get it... No matter what he has to seek through... That is the kind of man he is...
"Then let's go together..." He holds the girl's hand and pulls her out of the bed. After they depart from the room Ava anguish in her heart... 'Ah! I really don't want to meet them... This system... Why did you create an incomplete system mother!' Although she is too lazy to spats some drama at least the first step towards the mission has been completed...
She has a lot more steps to go though...
