Mellisah basked in the bliss of her dream life, until a fateful encounter with a creature that bore a striking resemblance to a human. The incident took place in her own kingdom on planet Uranus, where she reigned as queen. Her serenity was abruptly shattered when her children, Clint and Bridget, heard her screams and rushed to her aid. They found their mother paralyzed with fear in her pot-like house. Bridget, trembling with fright, questioned her mother about what had happened. But Mellisah was too scared to utter a word and decided to keep her children in the dark until she could make sense of the situation. In an attempt to allay their fears, she simply stated, "It was nothing, my darlings. I was just filming a video for your father's upcoming birthday." Clint let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Phew!"
Clint informed Mellisah of their fear, as they believed something unfortunate had occurred to her. Mellisah provided reassurance that she was unharmed, prompting the children to venture outside to engage in play. Meanwhile, Mellisah grappled with comprehending the creature's statement, which indicated it would persist until her departure from planet Uranus. She endeavored to devise strategies to vanquish the creature covertly, without her father's knowledge. However, due to her lack of individual capability to combat the creature, Mellisah ultimately had to disclose the situation to her father. The following day, Mellisah approached her father and implored him for the ability to eradicate the creature. Her father expressed surprise and requested an explanation of the events. Mellisah proceeded to recount the encounter with the creature, which had infiltrated her room and issued threats. Her father, both astonished and relieved that Mellisah now possessed awareness of the ongoing conflict between planet Uranus and the inhabitants of Pluto, proceeded to elucidate the circumstances to her. He divulged that the people of Pluto had discovered Mellisah's existence and sought her father's demise, as well as her departure from Uranus.
He proceeded to explain that the inhabitants of Pluto became aware of his wife's pregnancy and, utilizing their advanced scanning capabilities, they detected the presence of twins in her womb. During a dream, the entity previously witnessed in their home approached him and demanded that he surrender one of the children on the day of his wife's delivery. Upon sharing this information with his wife, she decided to flee from him. Additionally, she switched the babies in order to ensure that if one were captured, the other would remain safe. The entity's motivation for wanting one of the babies stemmed from its knowledge of his wife's extramarital relationship with the king of Earth. Consequently, the creature desires the protagonist's departure from the planet, as it is aware of their impending arrival.
Mellisah was profoundly astonished by the narrative relayed by her father. After a brief period of astonishment, she inquired about the course of action they should take to rectify the situation. Her father responded by stating that she would need to depart from the planet Uranus, as he would be unable to assist her in battling the Pluto creatures. This response came as a shock to the child. She pondered how she would be able to leave after spending numerous years on the planet Uranus. Would her family members, particularly her mother and sister, be able to recognize her back at Earth? Disagreeing with her father's suggestion, she expressed her determination to remain by his side until death separates them.
A moment of silence ensued, after which Mellisah forcefully opened the door to the room where she and her father were located. She expressed her apologies for the interruption and offered to leave if they were engaged in an important discussion. Mellisah's father reassured her that she should stay, as the matter being discussed involved her as well and her input could be beneficial. Subsequently, Mellisah's father proceeded to explain to her the incident that had occurred to Mellisah, doing so in a hushed manner that prevented Mellisah from hearing any of their conversation. He then requested Mellisah's permission to excuse themselves for a brief period, to which Mellisah agreed, leaving Mellisah and their father alone in the room.
Upon exiting the room, the father wasted no time in pointing the finger at Mellisando, blaming her for the chaotic arrival of Mellisah on the distant planet of Uranus. With a surge of anger, he unleashed his frustration upon her, demanding answers and a solution to their predicament. Mellisando, taken aback by her father's sudden outburst, couldn't help but feel a pang of disbelief. After all, it was he who had dispatched her years ago on a mission to find Mellisah. "Father, how dare you speak to me in such a manner? It is crystal clear, and you know it well, that you were the one who sent me to Earth to seek her out and bring her here. And now, you have the audacity to blame me for this incident? Fine, I understand; I will send her away and depart myself. Is that what you desire?" Mellisando retorted, her words dripping with fury.
The girl's furious demeanor triggered a wave of shame within the father, compelling him to attempt an apology for his outburst. However, Mellisando remained steadfast, refusing to lend an ear to his remorse. In a final act of defiance, she confronted her father with a revelation that shook him to his core. "If you wish for her departure, it can only mean that you played a part in the exchange of babies! Are you willing to sacrifice your own flesh and blood for the sake of self-preservation? Father, how could you subject her to such torment after all the years she spent here with us, when she could have returned to the Earth she believes to be her true home? I say this without hesitation, may Allogally, the god of protection in Uranus, shield her with safety, while Arronary, the god of death in Uranus, strips away your remaining days of life!" With these damning words, Mellisando concluded her impassioned speech, leaving her father to grapple with the weight of his actions.
The old man seethed with fury as these words filled his being, his anger bubbling like a cauldron. He yearned to unleash his powers upon his child, but alas, Mellisando sensed his intentions and swiftly vanished from the room. Meanwhile, Mellisah lingered by the door, her ears capturing every uttered syllable within the chamber. Disbelief washed over her like a tidal wave - why would her father choose to save the life of another over her own? She pondered this enigma, lost in her thoughts. Just as she was lost in contemplation, the door swung open, revealing her father's weathered countenance. A forced smile adorned his wrinkled face as he inquired about Mellisah's purpose. Desperate to conceal her eavesdropping, she replied with feigned innocence, "Oh, father! There you are. I have been searching high and low, for I wished to inform you that supper is prepared." Her father, blissfully unaware of her true knowledge, nodded and said, "Very well, my dear daughter. Let us partake in this meal together." His words carried a mixture of anger and shame, remnants of their earlier confrontation with Mellisando still lingering in the air.
In the dining chamber, Mellisando was already dishing out the delectable feast onto plates, her movements swift and precise. As the others arrived, they took their designated seats, ready to partake in the culinary delight. Before indulging in the savory fare, they bowed their heads in prayer, seeking blessings for the nourishment before them. Silence enveloped the room, broken only by the clinking of cutlery against porcelain. Mellisando, seething with unspoken fury, kept her gaze lowered, refusing to meet anyone's eyes. Mellisah, sensing an unsettling aura, glanced at her father before shifting her attention to her troubled sister, Mellisando. It was evident that something was amiss, a dissonance in the air. Suddenly, Mellisah's daughter, the innocent Bridget, shattered the silence with her innocent inquiry. "Father, why is it that today you withhold the enchantment of the food, the tales you always share with us?" Lost in his own thoughts, the grandfather to the little girl remained silent, failing to respond.
"Father?" the cherubic angel persisted, her voice filled with curiosity. "Yes, my dear, what were you saying?" Her words echoed once more, and Bridget repeated her previous query. The father's excuse was feeble, claiming the frailty of age as the reason for his forgetfulness. But Mellisando, her anger now brimming over, could no longer contain her emotions. Rising from her seat, she interjected, her voice laced with frustration. "It is not your age that hinders you. It is the web of secrets you weave, pretending to love and care for us when your heart is far from it. Your affection is nothing but a facade, a deceitful charade. None of us truly matter to you. It's all a grand illusion!"
Mellisah and her two children, Bridget and Clint, were taken aback by the words and actions displayed by their father. The father feigned ignorance and wore a perplexed expression in response to Mellisando's statements. Mellisando proceeded to express her disbelief at her father's feigned shock and claimed that he had concealed the visit of the Pluto king to their palace thirty years ago, as well as the subsequent deal he had made with him, from Mellisah. Mellisando further accused her father of displaying indifference towards Mellisah by attempting to send her away in order to protect himself from potential conflicts arising from his past dealings. Mellisando concluded her remarks by expressing her disappointment in her father. The father was rendered speechless and overwhelmed with shame. Upon hearing this exchange, Bridget and Clint sought solace in their mother and expressed their belief that their family members did not care for or love them. In a comforting tone, Mellisah assured her children that everything would be alright and instructed them to go to their room, promising to join them shortly to provide an explanation. Mellisah, Mellisando, and the father were now the only individuals remaining in the dining room. Eager to uncover more secrets, Mellisah questioned her sister about the nature of her relationship with their father and why she had spoken ill of him in front of her children.In an apparent disregard for the earlier conversation held in her father's room, she feigned ignorance. She vehemently denied speaking ill of their father, unless provoked by his furious behavior. It is evident that she possesses knowledge about their father's recent change in behavior, which has been characterized by a long history of secrecy. This secrecy dates back to his relationship with her mother and persists until the present. She claims that their father does not harbor any love for them.
She proceeds to disclose a past incident involving their father's clandestine meeting with the king of Pluto, wherein they discussed the purchase of a newborn baby. Without informing their mother, their father negotiated a price of 25 powerful stars for the baby. Only two of these stars were given to her while she was still in her mother's womb, purportedly to enhance her power and strength. Upon discovering her husband's hidden secret, the mother fled before giving birth. Consequently, their father was unable to deliver the baby and was compelled to return the price to the Pluto king. However, he failed to communicate this to the king, resulting in years passing without resolution.
Unexpectedly, one night, the Pluto king dispatched one of his enigmatic creatures to demand the long-awaited payment from their father.The ruler of Pluto, in a fit of rage, vowed to annihilate our father if he failed to deliver the baby this time. This is why the mysterious being appeared before you yesterday. The king sought you out because you possessed an extraordinary star within you, surpassing all the powerful stars owned by the world's kings. In the early hours of the morning, my father and I had a tense conversation in his chamber. To my surprise, he was furious with me for bringing you to Uranus. He insisted that you must return to Earth, so that when the Pluto king comes to claim his prize, he will not find you here. This way, he will believe that our father never had a child with such incredible power, and his life will be spared. Now, do you understand why I am reacting this way? My sister, I love you dearly and cannot bear the thought of losing you. If you are leaving, I will accompany you to Earth." Mellisando concluded.
Confused and shocked, Mellisah questioned her father, "Father, is this true? Ha! Is that what you did? How could you! I once believed that you loved and needed me above all else, but now I know the truth. You wanted me to stay here so that you could sell me to another king from a different planet? Absolutely not! Your desires and plans will not come to fruition. I will depart for Earth with my children and sister, leaving you behind to face the consequences of your actions. We will do whatever it takes to reach our destination unharmed." She declared boldly.
