Loving You From Stars

A Changed Heart

Arriving at the living room, gabriel immediately stood between corale and vyrion, separating them harshly away, "you went too far. you just butler here, your task is cleaning the dusk around castle, not put your dirty fingers on my niece ."

"aren't you being too harsh, gabriel?" corale protest, not agree at all. she understands he dislike vyrion, but to think negative like that when the truth is purely instant attraction because their is a couple in past life, "vyrion is nothing but gentle to me."

"corale, don't," gabriel knew vyrion more longer than her, so he knew what he was doing, "it's good the ice rock here is melting, and spring is coming, but don't involve my niece into your mess."

vyrion just crossed it's arms, looking blank ahead.

"you heard me, vyrion!?" gabriel pissed even more not getting any response from him.

vyrion opened his lips, answering what gabriel really wants even making his ears bleed, "are you done?"

"you...!" gabriel already to knock off some vyrion pride, corale is the one who stop him by holding his arms tightly, "you'll never be my son-in-law."

"to bad your wish will never be granted," vyrion fight back still in his calm voice.

corale blush hearing that. marriage ... such big step, never crossed her mind until now, mostly just enjoying her relationship.

since vyrion is a god, he can or can't granted human wish?

corale remember there's different gods and goddess, having different duty too. wonder vyrion duty is?

"talk to a rock like you is useless," gabriel give up only this time, "pack your thing, you move out from here, corale."

"what?"

but their deal is corale can think what she wants, give time to think about this.

"i give you too much time that rock over there start to show his move," gabriel giving endless critic, "i said before, i said it again: love is a last thing you should be thinking right now."

"i can't help it," the longing in her heart, the instant wanting to stay closer with vyrion is too much.

"you move out from here. that's final," gabriel not soften little bit, her confession making his decision more strong, "forget about it, just get in my car."

corale shook her head quickly, taking small step back. she so fed up hearing everyone telling her feeling just some silly imagination, now choose to fight back, "i'm already doing my father want, still, you planning to take away my only happiness in here too?"

"your happiness is not with him," gabriel says, "just do i say."

corale shook her head again.

"should i remind you about your father? you should know now," gabriel says, "don't make things complicated." he rub his temple. so much for taking care one troublesome niece.

her father.

corale heart sway little, her weak point. wonder what her father thinking about vyrion all this time. gabriel saying her father refuses to live here because vyrion bad behavior, but ...

vyrion trying to stay away from human as much as possible, maybe there's kindness when it's come not about castle.

after all, her father didn't kick vyrion out of castle regarding his bad behavior.

so much possibilities making corale missed her father more than anything. living in her father house mostly like dream comes true. yesterday she was excited to come visit anyway, "alright."

"good," gabriel says with tiny smile on corner of his lips.

"you can't be serious," vyrion is the one who protest, can't believe what he hearing now. did she change her heart? is his love not enough to make her stay with him? "why?" he words come out whispered, sadness take over him so quickly make everything they share together blur now.

"i want to know about my father more," corale trying to make him understand her decision. not purely change the decision about her love for him.

"i'll tell you everything about your father," vyrion argue strongly, "just give me more time, corale."

corale should believe him, she should, however her heart is saying opposite. she having little doubt he knew everything, "just for short moment. ok?"

"no," vyrion refuses to agree. he haven't told to her yet about how far he is from the castle, the weakening his power becomes.

"this is not something to argue about," gabriel says irritated, "forget about your thing, just get in car, corale."

corale look at vyrion, before slowly walk away outside castle. she took moment to memorize the building who became her second home for moment before took deep breath, and—

"corale! wait!" it's was gael who held her before she can get in car, "are you really gonna leave me like this?"

corale almost forgot gael purely came here just for her. now the regret creeps out her heart. so obvious from his face alone his still love her, "i'm just moving in to my father house, not far away from college or zoe cafe, gael."

gael know that, the reason he worried about all of this because afraid olivia lives there and giving corale hard time, not to mention victor, "mr. laurent, did you open any job now?"

"jobs?"

"gael!" corale knows this so well. he trying to stay close to her so he can still protect her. she already feeling bad can't return his love, not this too.

"who are you anyway?" gabriel says.

"i'm her childhood friend."

"hm ..." gabriel really interest about this, "we can discuss this in car."

"what?"

why should gabriel be interested in gael?

"thank you," gael really grateful gabriel give him a chance, not immediately reject him.

corale didn't understand this at all.

what's gabriel planning now!?

***

bzzzztt!

"ugh ..." vyrion groaned in pain, finally can be free after trying hard breaking the strong spell around his body. he turn around to look at the culprit who did all this after corale walk away from castle, "you really have to do this, aren't you?"

trying to stop him for stopping corale walk away from castle.

vyrion understand vega have opposite judge about corale, however, doing dirty act like this to separate them really test his patience.

"this is payback for you spend night with her," vega says, her eyes show fierce sign not afraid of him, "we still didn't know the truth, yet here you are showing all your charm, not thinking you cheating on vordelia if my guess is right, lord vyrion."

hearing all of this, and how vega strongly thinking opposite from him making vyrion sad, "i really miss your positive side, not judge everything what happened to us. what i feel, and she feel is more clear before your eyes. i'm outta here."

"i wo-"

"you trying stop me again, i have no choice but to stop you too," vyrion interrupted her words, giving warning, "you are the last person i want to hurt, vega." then he left, leaving vega gasp in shock.
