Ele couldn't sleep in her room since last night, Marvel didn't come back after he left the room. makes Ele even more restless, especially when the situation in this place is not really known by a new woman like herself. she could only sit quietly near the balcony of the room, watching the sun slowly visible from the east. Ele's eyes continued to look towards the east, a direction that had many meanings.
East is a cardinal direction in the compass. East is usually to the right of the map. The sun and moon rise in the east. In navigation, east is represented as a 90 ° direction. East is opposite to West.
The earth rotates to follow the east, that's why the sun rises from that direction. Hindu religious buildings (temples) traditionally face east (the entrance from the west side). East is also synonymous with Oriental traditions in East Asia, China, Japan and Korea.
The word east is actually a term for the southeast wind that blows across the archipelago known to Austronesian sailors. In Tagalog, the word timog, which has an etymological relationship with east, means south.
The air was so cool and the smell of dew in the morning, made Ele close her eyes slowly. a little humming a little he began to remember his childhood again. play in the morning helping her mother find vegetables in the garden, then they both will cook together and tell many things.
How much time has passed? dozens of years, even Ele no longer remembers all the good memories that were ever created.
her eyes opened again, she saw several birds flying past the towering trees beside the Mansion. This mansion is indeed on the coast, but the grove of trees here makes it seem like a creepy wilderness. Although indeed, in the morning this place is so cool and beautiful. but if it's night? Like being in a scary haunted house.
Ele returned to tighten the blanket on her body, she walked to the refrigerator and took an apple that was still fresh. Starting to bite it and chewing slowly, Boredom really approached him at this time. Confused about what to do, and he also did not dare to leave the room at all. especially considering the incident when Marvel's younger brother drank rat blood brutally. Ele really shuddered when she remembered what happened last night ..
Really Don't want to think back, but what happens if Ele looks back at that crazy guy? can it still be okay? no, maybe even Ele would vomit in front of her, Because remembering how that man broke the rat's neck and drank his blood straight away.
"Ish! That incident made me unable to sleep at all!" Ele chuckled softly, just as she was about to lay down on the sofa. The sound of knocking on the door made him look up at once.
Step slowly to open the door and see who is there, when the door opens. Ele can see Mrs. Arsinoe who is already smiling very sweetly. "Good morning Ele, how did you sleep tonight? You're up so early. Even though I just wanted to make sure you're up. Or not, do you want to eat something? I'll go to the kitchen and cook for breakfast." Ms Arsinoe's greeting made Ele feel immediately touched, the kind face of a mother and her very sweet smile made this morning even better.
"Good morning mam, I slept well although not always soundly. What do you want to cook this morning? Can I help you?" Ele tries to get closer, usually women can always get closer if they cook together. And that was the most precise way Ele thought at the moment.
"You want to help? I want to make the food that Marvel likes the most. Come with me to the kitchen, as well as I show you the rooms in this Mansion, so you don't get lost." Mrs. Arsinoe immediately took Ele's hand, when the woman nodded enthusiastically ..
Ele smiled and in response to a bigger smile from Mrs. Arsinoe, the two of them immediately walked out of the room. Ele actually felt a little strange, when she felt Arsinoe's skin felt cooler than human skin in general. is she sick? Ele thought confused.
"This is my room. It's not far from Marvel's room. Since childhood, Marvel has always had nightmares and he often calls me at night. That's why I purposely brought our room closer, so if there was anything I immediately went to his room quickly." The words of a mother who is very excited to tell about her child, not to mention the smile on Mrs. Arsinoe's lips makes Ele feel happy too.
"Marvel was really cute when he was a kid." Ele said, trying to participate in the story that had been made.
"Living with him for more than hundreds of years, makes me always think back to his childhood days. Although indeed, that memory is slowly fading. But I always write everything down in my diary, so if at any time I forget, then I can remember it again. , you know. I'm getting old and my age is really too difficult to calculate. " Arsinoe said in a small tone but with a laugh.
Ele could only nod politely, she was confused about what to say about the story that was explained.
They started going down the stairs one by one, then saw how the servants were busy with their own business.
It is indeed very early in the morning, so that Ele can still see how the servants clean every corner of the mansion which is indeed very old.
"Oh yes, Mrs. Arsinoe, is this Mansion very old? I feel that the carvings and shapes are so classic and beautiful, it seems like I have entered the world of an ancient kingdom." I asked, after we reached the end of the stairs.
I saw that the handrail at the end of the steps was in the shape of a three-headed dragon, it was a very beautiful and rare carving. I do not know what century these steps were made, it must be a very long time. Maybe a thousand years?
"the age I do not know for sure, this is a Mansion that was once an empire. The great kingdom of Salvador, made in the days of his grandfather Marvel. He is the one who made the Salvador empire even more powerful and was able to make a place this big. This place has also been renovated several times to make it look more beautiful. feasible in times that are always changing. We always keep up with the changing times, that's why we always do a lot of developments, one of which is by making a large company called. 'Salvador Company'. Do you like this big Mansion ?. " Arsinoe's mother asked Ele.
