51 Dreaming Of The Past: The Engagement Ceremony Pt2 (1/2)
Walking into the private two-storey villa, the group would take note of the beautiful garden surrounding the open courtyard paved with white and grey igneous rocks. Upon entering the villa the group realised that there were only 4 bedrooms, one living area, a guest bathroom and a kitchen. The bedrooms were upstairs while the kitchen, guest bathroom and living area were on the ground floor.
Meanwhile back at the throne room, a heated debate had broken out between Vanya and Samara.
”How could you allow them under the same roof before they officially wed?”
”Honey, you do realise they've been married for longer than the creation of this world?”
”But they're still my daughters!”
”Yes, honey. We are still their parents but they are also our ancestors and the reason we have this life. Could you dare to command your Father if he suddenly regained his memories in his reincarnated body?”
”Well, no. But…”
”But what?”
”...”
”Okay, honey. But do remember they are already at marrying age this year.”
”...”

With the two extra rooms going to Lagina and Valencia, Hittan was left with the couch in the living area. His despondent face was greeted by giggles as the girls each went into their own rooms. With each room having an ensuite the girls decided to take an early bath and prepare for bed.
Grumbling to himself, Hittan decided to take a shower has the battle from earlier needed to be washed off him.
”I can't believe they all took rooms and left me on the couch. I think a family discipline system needs to be put in place later.”
...
Lying on the couch Hittan started to think about the last 5 years and how drastically different from his previous 5 first years it's been. It seems he has racked up a debt of Karma with quite a number of people.
”Could this life... be my chance for redemption? Can I even fix those Karmic debts in one lifetime?” Nodding off to sleep Hittan finally laid his heart down.
… Footsteps could be heard lightly coming down the stairs.
”Hittan, are you asleep?”
”Mmh?”
”Why are you taking so long?”
”So long? So long for what? Kaia, is that you?”
”Have you forgotten me or replaced me with a younger version?”
Snapping his eyes open to find himself looking up at Kaia's angelic and more adult face while his head rested in her lap, as they rested on the couch together.
”Dear, how can you be jealous of yourself?”
”Hehe, I was just kidding. Look at you, being all serious for nothing.” Playfully looking away while eying him from the corner of her eyes.
