Foolish Life

Illisha will be happy

Sayasha turned at Roku with a smile, asking for a suggestion to find Sweestal. Sweestal is a kind of flower but it's a rare flower. It was like a red rose but the flower is a fruit that can eat.

"Again? But the last time..."

"Roku, I love you." Sayasha felt his lip and he couldn't resist her face.

"I love you too, Sayasha. Will you wait for me in our home?"

Sayasha just nodded and Roku carried her in his arms, dropping at the home, in her room.

"Wait for me here."

"I will wait for you here."

After Roku dropped Sayasha, he went into the forest and ran fast. It's Sayasha's five times. And the last time he found the Sweestal it took one day to find.

The Sweestal flower is living in a cave where there's no sun. Roku is in the Senisha forest, the vastest forest in the world.

Entering without knowledge in the cave is dangerous like facing furious Ilisha. So Roku carefully scans the cave and when it's safe to enter, he begins exploring inside. Minutes of staying in the first cave there's no luck.

Not that far from home, Roku explores the place but there's no cave until there's a thick bush hanging at piling rock.

Roku feels air coming from the thick so he removes the bush and there's a small entrance like a cave. He felt first luckily monsters did not exist, nothing living inside the cave.

It was a good sign for Roku. No lives, or weeds inside, only rock.

There's a high possibility the Sweestal flower is there. Roku hasn't explored the entire cave but he stumbles a rock, just behind a Sweetestal flower, standing proudly.

"You are just here. It even took days for me to find you but all of you are just hiding here!" Roku didn't see one but a bunch.

He just picked one and left. As Roku walked, leaving the cave he just realized it was not easy.

Leaving the cave consumes a lot of time, he is almost lost on his way, fortunately, there's a firefly inside leading the way.

"Thanks...." Roku entered the forest after breakfast but he came back at night.

Run fast, Roku run as his life depend on it. After minutes of running, he pauses at the same time enters.

Not that far away, he can hear Ilisha's voice, crying as she calls his name.

"Ilisha..." As Roku opened the door, he found Ilisha, trying to tear her clothes made by her mother, while Sayasha almost destroyed the home while scolding Ilisha.

"Papa!" Ilisha rushes toward Roku, hiding behind her. With the tight embrace, Ilisha was afraid of her mother.

"Roku! If you keep spoiling Ilisha, she will lose her way. Give her to me!" Sayasha was mad, demanding to hand Ilisha at her.

"Sayasha, what happened?"

"She kept coming late! I'm fed up, give her to me!"

Sayasha approaches, trying to force Ilisha to go with her. But Roku held her hands, talking calmly with her.

"Let's talk this tomorrow."

"I can't! Let's puni----" Sayasha loses her balance as she is about to pass out.

Roku catches her by arms, supporting her to sit on the chair.

"It was bad for your health to be mad like that."

"I-I don't know to myself. But when it com----" Sayasha suddenly rushed to the washing area, vomiting.

Roku rubbed her back, as Sayasha kept releasing the food she ate.

"Are you okay, Sayasha.... S-Sayasha!"

As Roku rubbed her back, he remembered the most important.

"R-Roku, help me, I-I feel..."

"Sayasha!" Roku quickly embraces tightly Sayasha. "Our dream came true, Ilisha had a sister."

The house was enveloped in quietness, heartbeat pounding loudly.

Sweet news roared in Sayasha's mind. Ilisha's tears dripped yet smiling as she heard Roku's words.

Her anger toward Sayasha vanished and the enjoyment gripped her heart. Ilisha, began walking, embracing her parents. "Mama..." A faint voice made Sayasha fall into her tears, patting her head.

"Ilisha..." A gentle caress, smile in disbelief.

"Sayasha..."

They stay for minutes embracing each other and planning about their future. Laughing, expectation, excitement, and joy can be found in their voices as they chat.

Roku was the one the most excited, living in his life with a beautiful wife and daughter is a dream but there's no need to dream. Everything was real and the fact he could see his child.

"Sayasha you are my wife and Ilisha our daughter and we have one. I can't ask anything from now on." Roku almost tearing up.

"Roku..."

"Papa..."

Roku just smiled, princess, carrying Sayasha to lie on the bed. She still felt dizzy but the smile couldn't erase on her face.

"Sayasha, Ilisha, good night."

"Good night, Roku, Ilisha."

"Papa, Mama, good night."

They sleep in one bed, closing their eyes however only Ilisha and Sayasha fall asleep. Roku still couldn't believe in his life.

He wants to carry Sayasha and roam in the forest shouting that Ilisha has a sister, bragging about the greatest news he has. But Sayasha's condition halts him to go crazy.

Hum gave him time to pass, watching Sayasha's face near him.

Hours passed Roku was still awake until midnight came, and his eyes were about to close but a footsteps outside woke him completely.

Roku just felt the footsteps, walking around the house. He knew it was not hostile but the curious could feel it.

"Finally..." Roku takes a deep breath when the noise of steps leaves gradually.

Even though he was still not sleepy, Roku just closed his eyes for hours and soon, he fell asleep however it was already morning.

Roku slept while his mind was awake and because Sayasha carrying their future, Roku woke up early, preparing nutritious food and fruits on the table. Servicing Sayasha like a princess. Anything Sayasha asked Roku didn't hesitate to follow and Ilisha stayed on her side when her mood but when Ilisha knew her emotion was scary, Ilisha spent her time playing with Krinia.

One week passed, and in the early morning, Sayasha was the one who woke up early. Roku reaches his limitation, he just sleeps one hour every day or 2 hours.

Sayasha always reminded him she could still work but Roku was somewhat against so she just watched him and now Roku couldn't lift his arms.

Sayasha cooks the food with the help of Ilisha, putting love into her action.

"Ilisha."

"I'm fine, mama, I will just eat alone. You can help Papa."

Sayasha brings the food to her room but she halts in front of the door, hesitating to enter. She felt a tremendous aura inside, scaring anyone in the area.

"R-Roku..." Sayasha takes a bunch of deep breaths, panning herself with her hand.

'S-Sayasha face her, y-you...' Sayasha bites her lower lip, licking the blood. She places her palms on the wooden door and pushes. She almost drops the plate when she glimpses the woman sitting on the bed, facing the window, behind Roku sleeping nonchalantly.

"G-Goddess A-Alyahana." Sayasha just uttered without sound, making her fingers tremble.

But for some reason the woman, Alyahana, turned her head, glaring at Sayasha's face, staring at the floor.

Watching for seconds Sayasha's face, Sayasha dropped the plate begging her mouth to open as she said something but no sound. Until the warm caress on her back, a warm embrace, and an enticing voice entered her ears.

"S-Sayasha..."

Sayasha is afraid of her because of the past, she's one of the fifteen Goddesses, Sayami's level causing her to think of the nightmare of Roku. But all of her assumptions disappeared.

"G-Goddess Alyahana..."

"Shhh, let's stay for minutes."

It's rare, very rare the Goddess fixating on something, their words are a must to follow, an order that couldn't be defied. However, in this situation, Sayasha had doubts it was not an order but a request.

After minutes, Sayasha was about to kneel to pay respect but Alyahana, lifted her hands, through mind chatting with her. Sayasha just sat on the bed and Alyahana sat next to her.

'First of all, I'm glad you found your happiness.'

'G-Goddess Alyahana, w-what is your reason for visiting this secluded place.'

'Yesterday, Sayami visited my place, mentioning your situation. Sayasha, I didn't come here as Goddess but as your older sister like before...'

'B-But that is...'

'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind our past but.'

Alyahana, turned her face at Sayasha, focusing on her lips. 'Sayasha, you knew you have the blood of Kazamiya and your daughter, Ilisha.'

Sayasha didn't respond to her. She just holds Roku's hands, averting her glare on the trees.

'If that is what you want then I will not force you. Just like I said earlier, I didn't come here as a goddess but before I leave, Sayasha the storm will arrive soon. Take this warning as a friend, please be safe. I don't want to lose you.'

No words, Sayasha remained quiet but Alyahana didn't stop reminding Sayasha.

'Then, I will leave you-----'

Sayasha quickly embraced Alyahana tightly causing them to fall to the floor. She didn't say anything, Sayasha just hugged her as Roku stretched his arms yet still sleeping.
