Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 61

“Undignified man would climb through the TV. Are you an undignified man?” He asked. There was sarcasm in his tone. His sarcasm turned the jade blue-eyed man into a silent, eruptive volcano.

The little boy’s words were like a sharp blade and it pierced through Hue’s heart. His words left Hue in a moment of immobilization, unable to speak nor do he able to fight back.

His pride as a dignified being was scratched so badly after listening to his words. As a dignified being, it was a really hard slap on the face. A little and innocent boy had actually said the most hurtful words to him.

Little Veen waved his little hand in the air and the lit-up TV turned blank. “You have to control your temper,” he said in a persuasive tone though he didn’t want to sound like one. “Don’t lose your rationality over some trivial matters such as your jealousy.” He added.

Concealing their true intention and to deprive their desire had always been their nature. If they let the desire to take over, they will lose their sense of judgement and thus will let them astray.

Hue stood up and scoffed unhappily. He was hurt even more and it hurt down to his bone. A little kid, lecturing him over his dignity made him so, oh, so, so mad.

Patting his own bums with his hands, he said, “Is my jealousy a trivial matter to you? I am a married man so I have the right to get jealous of my wife. I also have the right to let my desire runs free.” He said with a sullen look. “Furthermore this is my first marriage and I am not going to let my wife running away from me.” He said with determination. He is determined to make her obey him and to submit only to his call.

He won’t let his woman run away from him just to live in her own world that is full of uncertainty. She needed him the most in her life and he wanted to prove it by loving her, giving her a family and of course giving her a place to call home which is where he is.

Little Veen eyed him, “I know but remember, you have just recovered your power. Do not waste the credit given on something that can actually be done in the right way.” He said, advising him.

Since they are in a world ruled by Reality, they have to abide by its rule. A rule that had always kept humans in balance. In the world ruled by Reality, Humans have to choose between right and wrong.

Humans are a curious being and even a little doubt will spark their interest to seek for answers that may harm them in a different approach. By then, Reality would punish them either by alive or death. Easy but hellish.

Hue grunted with dissatisfaction painting his face. The little grunt from him showed his disagreement to what the little boy has said earlier.

“Then, am I now allowed to venture out there, freely, without harming the other humans who might be affected by my charms?” He asked in contempt.

“If you noticed, we were exiled in the human realm, ruled by Reality. Humans are easily attracted because they see everything as beautiful. They are innocent with their desire and Reality wanted to keep it that way. If her children fall for your charms then, be grateful. Also, if we appear so suddenly at a different place, it will create uproar in the human world, this will cause them to be doubtful. More trouble will come in their way because of their curiosity. Reality won’t let her reign to be affected by distortion from one of Fantasy’s children.”

“Cut down to the chase. Tell me what exactly are you trying to tell me about the rules in this realm. My time is running out.” Hue interrupted, displaying his disinterest in his interruption.

“You have to learn how human lives. ”

“Tch, it’s easy. I’ve been monitoring them for a long time and I know everything about them.”

Little Veen lean back. “Monitoring and doing what they did is two different things.”

“Oh, come on Veen! I need to get to my wife fast. Hue groaned and grunted with displeased. “Just let me go through the TV.” He said, asking for approval.

“Here, learn to use this.” Little Veen waved his hand and suddenly notes of money appeared in front of Hue.

Hue was startled to see money raining out to the floor from mid-air. Taking the money from the floor, Hue looked at the little boy with a twisted looking face.

“What am I going to do with these? Is this another method to travel?” He asked. “But, how did you even have these?”

“I exchange it with one of your privilege which is the permission to travel through different dimensions. That power had now turned into money so, learn to use public transportation because you do not have any privilege to travel in different dimensions now.” Said Little Veen in a smooth and clear tone.

“What?!” Hue roared back at the little boy. Hue’s eyes widen in disbelief. “Why did you do that? I need my power to move fast.” He groaned and stomped his feet in frustration.

Even at times like this, the little guy always troubles him. Before he was just given curfew and now, he had to learn to use public transportation for the sake of getting to his wife.

Even worst, the power he needed the most had now turned into money!

Hue felt it was not fair for him to be treated so unjustly. Even after he had been confined for years, he didn’t trouble any of the deities back in his realm, so why did he had to go through the trouble to get to his wife?

Then, he started talking non-stop, pouring out his frustration. He stomped his feet here and there in complete madness.

Little Veen stared at the fuming man without displaying any emotions on his face. He stayed silent, listening to all of his master’s complaints. No expression on his expressionless cute little face.

After quite a while, when Hue finally calmed down, he asked, “Are you done unleashing all of your frustration?”

His master getting angry had nothing to do with him and he had no interest at all. It just felt like he was watching a little kid grumbling over a broken lollipop.

Hue rolled his eyes wider at him, “Not done yet.” He answered with a pout.

“Then, please continue.” Said Little Veen calmly and sat comfortably on the sofa.

Little Veen’s carefree attitude made Hue burst into a hearty cry. Frustration gnawing his delicate heart and no one even tries to console him.

Little Veen raised his head, staring into his jade-blue eyes. “You’re the one who’s wasting time.” He said, blaming Hue instead.

“You…” Hue pointed out at him with tears running down his cheeks. However, he pulled his hand back and stood up straight with both hands turned to fist by his side.

“I’m done…” He said, at last, waving the white flag. He wiped his tears with the back of his hands in a hasty manner.

“Good.” Said Little Veen. “Learn to use public transportation because you lack so many knowledge about human life or I can say, you are not on par with Luca Tybelg in this world. He has everything but you’re…” Little Veen eyed him up and down in one go, then he let out a deep sigh, “You barely have what he had.” He added, sounded like there is no hope for him in the world anymore.

His master may be a powerful being back in their realm but in terms of wealth and fame in the human realm, his master had none of it. His master was confined for years in the villa without money, name or knowledge. To humans, he will be known a NEET that stands for ‘Not in Education, Employment and Training’.

He will be a beautiful but empty shell inside. A shell that can be admired by many but not too useful at the same time. He will be a wasted, beautiful possession. It will be such a sad reality for him.

Hue pulled on a long face. He was unhappy at the mention of his rival in love. It added more to the pain when he was being compared with him.

“Who says I know nothing? I can cook, clean, do laundry, mow the lawn, and so on. That’s my knowledge about human. He may not even have any knowledge of what I am capable to do.” He said, fighting back to defend for his good name.

“That’s not enough. You have no job, which made you jobless, no income, no money and thus knows nothing of the outside world. The money you have now will also run out if you don’t have a job to keep the money flowing in. Things you’ve said earlier is house chores, plus it is just a piece of basic knowledge in this realm.”

Little Veen added, “If you want to win your wife in and out, you have to know her hardship because she started her life from scratch, unlike you who had been a spoiled one back in our realm, so the gap is huge.”

He took the chance to taunt him when he explained the situation that his master is currently in. Payback time for what he did to him before about wanting to turn him upside down.

Hue was hesitating but then he said, “Fine, I’ll do as you said. I’ll learn to use public transportation.”

He will take the challenge and do as he said. Living in the human world isn’t that bad and he can survive. Yeah, he had been living for such a long time so he can live and make it to the top. He will fight for his pure love!

He stood up with the money in his hands and walked out of the villa. Little Veen followed him from behind.

“Master, money must be kept inside the pocket because you don’t have any wallet.” He said, reminding him. “Also, to get on public transportation, you have to wait at a bus stop.”

Hue ignored him but just walked out until he reached the main road. From the horizon, he saw a blue car. Taking out one of the money, he waved it, hoping to make it stop.

Luckily it was a taxi and was empty and it stopped in front of him. Hue was overjoyed and gave Little Veen a proud smile telling him ‘Look, I can get a taxi on my own.’

Little Veen looked at him as expressionless as always. Then, he vanished into thousands of mist before the taxi driver even realized his existence beside Hue.

Hue got in and instructed, “Take me to Bougainvilla Hotel.” He said, mentioning a hotel’s name.

He knew exactly the location of his wife in the city. No matter how far she runs, he can locate her with ease. Thanks to the pairing rings that worked as a tracking device at the same time, it lessens his time to locate her by himself.

The taxi driver eyed him from the driver’s seat and gasped, “Sir, you’re the most beautiful man that I have ever seen in my life. My heart is pounding so hard just gazing upon your goodness.” He said which sent shivers down to Hue’s body.

“Thank you for your compliment.” Hue replied, getting uneasy. “Please send me to Bougainvilla Hotel.” Hue said again.

‘Beautiful man? I am handsome!’ He grunted within.

“Are you married?” The driver asked another question. He was not listening to what Hue had just said. Now, the halo of love is circling his head.

Hue rolled his eyes bigger. From the look of it, the man is already head over heel on him. The children of Reality are so troublesome!

This is why he prefers to travel through space. No humans, no traffic and of course no distraction!

‘What is wrong with him?!’ Hue wept in his heart.
