"Mesya, please don't say you regret all of this, even though I know you do regret it. But at least respect me, Sya. I love you," David whispered.
Mesya was silent in David's arms.
There is indeed a happy side to being in this family, namely David...
Something that makes her life more vibrant.
David's smile, and his present concern, are something that can make Mesya feel useful in this life. At least someone genuinely loves her.
Cklek!
Blar!
Arumi, opened the door to Mesya's room, accompanied by Charles and Arthur, they caught David still hugging Mesya.
"You, Ignorant Child!" shouted Arumi angrily.
She immediately approached David and slapped her face.
'Plak!'
David couldn't fight back, he just looked down while holding his face which had been slapped by his mother.
"Mom, please don't hurt, David!" shouted Mesya.
"Shut up!" snapped Arumi.
Mesya immediately fell silent and looked down.
"You've already given your chance to change! Then why are you even doing this?!" chirped Arumi with sharp eyes.
Her soft side is fading.
"David!" Arumi held her son's chin roughly.
"How long are you going to set a bad example for your younger siblings!?" snapped Arumi.
David didn't budge, there wasn't the slightest bit of resistance.
Even if he fought him, he would win. A tall, muscular man against a woman like Arumi wasn't difficult.
It's just that David doesn't want to fight his mother.
it's the same as being a disobedient child.
In a family that highly values ancestral traditions, Arumi in particular. No matter how hard and violent a child is, they still have to bow in front of their parents.
That is what Arumi instilled in her children.
"Honey, what are we going to do with our naughty child?" Arumi asked Charles.
"Of course the punishment for him," replied Charles.
"Just cut off his hand! So he can't hug Mesya again!" Arthur suggested with a grin
"What?!" Mesya doesn't want what Arthur said will be done by her parents.
Instantly Mesya immediately knelt in front of Charles and Arumi.
"Dad, Mommy, I beg you not to hurt, David ...." pleaded Mesya while crying.
"It can't be like that, honey, because your eldest brother has taught you things that are not good for you," said Arumi in a soft tone.
"But, this is not David's wrong, Mom, but my fault," said Mesya. She tried to make Arumi and Charles angry with her, so they wouldn't punish David.
"Hey, Beautiful Sister! Don't always blame yourself just to defend David, remember, in the past, it was David who often hurt you!" said Arthur, who also spoke up.
"Shut up, Arthur! Please don't interfere!" shouted Mesya.
"Honey, you can't talk to Arthur like that, it's rude, and besides what Arthur said is true," said Arumi.
"Listen to what Mommy said, Mesya. What I said is true. You were close to David recently, never before, never even talk, David always hurt your heart!" Arthur concluded.
"Arthur! Please be quiet!" said Mesya once again.
Meanwhile, Charles immediately approached David and asked him to stand.
"Come on follow me!" said Charles while pulling David's hand forcibly.
Mesya immediately stood up and immediately grabbed her father's hand.
"Don't, Daddy! Don't hurt David, Daddy!" snapped Mesya while crying.
"It's my fault, Dad! It's not his fault! I was the one who loved, David! Just punish me! Not David!" said Mesya while trying to stop Charles.
"Mesya, I'm okay, you don't worry," David said calming his sister.
But Mesya still couldn't calm down. She was sure her father would be violent towards David.
"Dad, please, please let his go, Daddy ...." Mesya held on to Charles' feet.
And Arumi immediately pulled Mesya.
"Come on, don't cry for him! He's a bad example for you!" said Arumi.
Mesya slapped Arumi's hand roughly.
"Please don't touch me, Mom! Why did you break your promise?! Why!?" asked Mesya.
"Mom, don't break your promise,"
"Liar!" said Mesya.
"You lied to me! You said you wouldn't bother me and would give you freedom, but what's the proof?! Instead, you killed Edo!" said Mesya.
"Honey, we do that because we want to protect you, honey!" said Arum.
"If you want to protect me then please let go, David!" said Mesya.
"Is can't, honey because he's set an unbreakable example for you! He used to hurt you, be mean to you, and now he likes his little sister! David that's unforgivable!" concluded Arumi.
Of course, hearing that Mesya did not accept it because of everything David did to Mesya, it was because she wanted to protect Mesya.
"Mom! Please don't blame me, David, he keeps doing it for my good, he used to stay away from me and always behaved badly towards me, because he didn't want me to be in a scary family like this, and when it comes to David, who likes me is because I love him too! I love David!" concluded Mesya with tears in her eyes and full of emotion.
'Although this is very dangerous, for some reason I like Mesya's attitude, who is defiant like this,' David said in his mind.
Unconsciously he smiled a little, David was so amazed by Mesya's courage.
Only he dared to rebel the most in this family.
"Enough of the drama! Now is the time for me to teach this, Bad Boy a lesson!" said Charles, pulling David's hand back.
"Stop it, Daddy!" shouted Mesya.
Then Arumi held Mesya again, she blocked Mesya from helping David.
"Don't help, that brat! He's a Fool Big Brother!" said Arumi.
"Please don't say that to David! He does not Fool or, Bad Boy! He's the only good person in this family!"
Seeing Mesya who is still defending David, makes Arumi feel angry, she has desperately been patient and always defends Mesya but instead, this is Mesya's reply.
"Mesya!" snapped Arumi furiously.
Mesya was silent for a moment, but she was happy because Arumi had yelled at her, this could be Arumi scolding her as well as scolding David.
"Why? You want to hit me, don't you?" Mesya asked with a faint smile.
"It's okay, Mom, come on hit me, just kill me if you need to!" said Mesya.
Arumi has raised her hand and is ready to land a slap on Mesya's face.
