ANINDIRA IS JEALOUS

020 Anindira is jealous

Anindira is very disappointed with Halvir's decision to leave her alone. So far, she has always been with him, rarely separated. Anindira was immediately seized with intense fear at the thought that Halvir would leave her, but she didn't dare to say it.

“I will give three *Ambers to the Chief because I will be leaving you with him for two weeks. I can't take you. If I go alone, I can get some more games later on the road. It will be faster if I go alone. If I'm with you, it takes two weeks to get to the Lion Kingdom. After I pay the sewing fee and put the materials there, I will immediately go home and take you there, understand...'' Halvir continued to explain to Anindira, who clearly showed her disappointment.

''Ehm...'' Anindira replied, nodding weakly, ''Okay,'' she continued with a sad face that drooped down, and her appetite immediately disappeared.

''Havi... Why does it have to be with the village head?'' asked Anindira worriedly. She was afraid to hear what the village head said. In his mind there was an old man who was stiff and old-fashioned, ''Why not Hans?'' Anindira asked again. She felt that Hans was the type of person who was comfortable to talk to.

''Why Hans?'' Halvir asked directly with a serious face, ''You?! It's true, you like him?'' exclaimed Halvir asked with an irritated face.

"Of course I like him, he's kind and he's a friend of yours..." Anindira replied seriously with an innocent face.

Anindira is not aware that Halvir is jealous.

''Yes. You are right. But, unfortunately, he can't…'' Halvir replied firmly, answered by a frown on Anindira's forehead, ''He's a single man, while the Village Head already has a spouse, he's also ranked *Amethyst, he's able to protect you,'' Halvir explained, responding Anindira asked face.

But, unfortunately, Anindira did not understand Halvir's explanation.

''Hans is only a *Diamond, he doesn't have enough ability to protect you, there are many single youths who rank above him,'' said Halvir, again adding his explanation.

''Hmm?!'' Anindira responded to Halvir by frowning, a sign that he was not satisfied with the answer, ''Does it have to be like that? If that can make you calm…'' Anindira answered resignedly.

Between understanding and not, Anindira heard Halvir's explanation just now. She still felt sad and disappointed, so she just answered lazily. The feeling of being uneasy, because she only shared her life with Halvir, was also one of the things that made her not dare to argue.

''The Village Head has a daughter who is the same age as you,'' said Halvir, after putting Anindira down from his lap.

''Really?'' exclaimed Anindira asked. Anindira's eyes lit up when she heard it.

''Eum...'' nodded Halvir, smilingly answering Anindira, ''You can be friends with her'' Halvir continued. He smiled, looking at her. Anindira was cheerful again.

After eating and cleaning up, they went up and chose some clothes from animal skins. Halvir chose the best of all the clothes he kept. There are about two hundred strands.

“Thin animal skins will be your summer clothes, and thick ones will be your winter clothes. I'll take it... save some for blankets and bedding!'' shouted Halvir as he opened three large boxes and took out pieces of cloth that were barely used.

Halvir has quite a lot of fabrics. Although some of them are quite old, Halvir's entire collection of fabrics is top-notch. Halvir rarely tanned animal skins, as it was for his personal use only. Of course, the stock was more than enough for him. Not all the animals he hunts are taken for their skins. Halvir only tans large games with beautiful skins. In 35 years, at least Halvir would be tanning a minimum of twenty animal skins every summer period, which was plenty for one person, so more sat untouched in chests.

''Havi, this is a lot, are you sure you can take it?'' Anindira asked when she saw the pile of cloth that towered high.

''No!'' shouted Halvir in short answer, ''But, Hans will take him,'' he added again, with his eyes sparkling slyly, the corners of his lips almost curved like a grin.

''Owh, so you want to go with Hans...'' said Anindira with raised eyebrows.

''No!'' shouted Halvir, raising his eyebrows while looking at Anindira, ''It just happened to me,'' Halvir answered again indifferently.

''Ha?!'' Anindira exclaimed, flabbergasted, ''Why?'' Anindira asked with a surprised face.

''It turned out to be too much,'' answered Halvir briefly.

''Then, just reduce it!'' exclaimed Anindira, answering with a frown, ''Even if there was Hans, how could it be brought only by the two of you?'' continued Anindira firmly.

''No! don't reduce it!'' exclaimed Halvir firmly replied, ''You need it... The Lion Kingdom is far away, I can't keep going back and forth from you,'' continued Halvir, explaining with a serious face.

''But, this much stuff, unless you use a cart, you can't carry it…'' Anindira replied, complaining with a serious face.

''Yes, that's why I said Hans would take it,'' Halvir replied casually.

''Havi?'' Anindira shouted, looking at Halvir with sharp eyes.

''Why?'' asked Halvir innocently, ''You're purposely just taking advantage of him...'' Anindira answered angrily.

''Doing what? Apart from that, he also has needs there, he also has a cart…'' Halvir replied, ''After all, he won't refuse me,'' said Halvir, continuing with great confidence.

''Come on! I'll take you to the village head's house!'' Halvir shouted, inviting Anindira after finishing all the preparations.

''Okay...'' replied Anindira with a happy face.

She can't wait to meet women other than herself, especially if they are the same age.

***

''Havi, how many children does the Village Head have?'' asked Anindira, while on the way to the village head's house.

''I don't know, I didn't count,'' replied Halvir flatly.

''Huh?! Does he have a lot of children?” asked Anindira again.

''Yes... Maybe, because he is quite old,'' replied Halvir, again with a straight face.

''How old?'' Anindira asked curiously.

''Ninety years… I think,'' answered Halvir briefly.

''Wow! I asked the wrong question...'' Anindira exclaimed in surprise, ''How many grandchildren? That should I ask...'' Anindira added later, grinning.

''No one, he doesn't have one yet…'' Halvir answered seriously, but kept his flat expression.

''Wow, is the girl you said the same age as me, is his youngest child?'' asked Anindira, surprised, only to be answered by Halvir nodding.

''Oh!'' Anindira exclaimed, ''Havi, what is the name of the chief's daughter?'' he asked later.

''Zia,'' replied Halvir.

''What kind of person is she?'' asked Anindira.

Her face looked displeased when asked, jealous to be more precise. It's just that Anindira did not realize it.

''A woman who talks a lot looks like you, but she is curt,'' Halvir answered flatly and briefly.

''You like her?'' asked Anindira with her face getting sour, there was a feeling of annoyance that she couldn't describe that welled up in her heart.

''Yes, of course, she's a good kid…'' Halvir replied, still with a straight face that looked arrogant.

''So you like her?'' Anindira exclaimed.

She wanted to emphasize something but Anindira's voice sounded a bit whiny with her eyes glaring at Halvir.

''Um,'' nodded Halvir answered briefly.

Halvir remained cold, he was indifferent and didn't care about Anindira, whose mouth was already pouting.

''Havi, so you indeed like her?'' Anindira's voice trembled to hold her breath in her chest.

''Yeah,'' answered Halvir innocently and honestly, but he had started to notice that there was something strange about Anindira.
