31 Chapter 31: But are you happy? (1/2)
”Are we there?” Nero asked when they arrived in front of a large gate with a beautiful garden in the fence. It was possible to see that in the back of the fence, there was a beautiful, breathtaking white mansion.
”Yeah.” Choko nodded with a warm smile, ”Come on, let's go in.”
”Right.” Nero agreed and walked with Choko and her group.
Walking through the beautiful garden of the land. An apple appeared in Nero's hand, she started chewing the apple while walking through the beautiful garden.
”That makes me think. It's been a long time since those apples have been in my inventory. Does that mean the time inside the inventory is frozen or something similar?” Nero thought, ”Hrm. That must be it...”
”It's not fair, Nero. I'm hungry too.” Jana said when she realized that Nero was eating.
”Oh, my bad. I have more with me, do you want it?” She asked and they nodded in answer. Nero took four apples from the inventory and gave them one each.
”Thank you, Nero.” They said in unison.
”You're welcome.” Nero said and asked, ”Your family's house is quite large. Now I'm convinced you came from a wealthy family.” She smiled.
A strange glow passed through Choko's eyes, but soon he returned to normal. She shook her head while explaining, ”I'm not staying at the main house. My mother and I stayed in a separate place since my mother is one of my father's concubines...”
””...”
Nero didn't know what to say. Since she had no experience with these matters. She noticed that Choko's life story was more complicated than she imagined; it wasn't simply the life of a spoiled girl who decided to go out into the world and explore.
In the end, Nero only said a few words: ”I understand. But are you happy?”
”Yes, very much. I love my mother. Although I don't see my father much, I still like his, at least my mother and I have a better life than the other concubines of my father, since my mother had a son his.” Choko explained.
”Oh, what matters is that you're happy.” Nero smiled at her: ”Don't let happiness slip away, just for a few material goods, if you want money and luxury. I know you can do it for yourself.”
”Yes, you're right.” Choko forced himself not to cry and she gave a tight hug to Nero, surprising her. ”You're a good friend, Nero.”
Although she's surprised by Choko's sudden hug. Nero gave her the hug back. Soon Nero groaned a little because she felt a throbbing pain in his head her.
Choko, who noticed this, asked worried, ”Is everything okay, Nero? What's going on?”
Jana, Jair, and Breno looked in the direction of Nero. The concern was visible in their eyes. They knew that Nero had just woken up after she was in a coma for a month.
Nero raised her hands and put it on her head with sudden dizziness. Out of touch with what they were talking about. She almost crouched on the pain floor.
