(Choon-Hee POV)
I woke up in the morning feeling achy body, too many thoughts made me feel reluctant to wake up in a hurry and could only stare at the ceiling sadly.
It felt empty, there wasn't anything pleasant, usually I would prepare food for Edwards. Making sure he wears nice and fragrant clothes, prepares provisions for him. But now? I'm like a single woman who doesn't have any responsibility.
My eyes saw the sunlight that came in through the window, looking at the sky that seemed a little cold this morning. it was already winter, it felt better to hug a bolster under the covers than to go out.
Knock.. Tock.. Tock..
The sound of the door made me look around, waiting for who would come in this early morning.
"Morning Choon-hee." It turned out to be Bella, she went inside to bring food like that. It is clear from the aroma of the delicious food.
"Morning.." I said hoarsely, I was still hugging the bolster and staring at Bella's body who had walked over to me and put a tray of food on the table.
"You're still tired, aren't you? Mommy went to the company today for work. Then Daddy had a check-up with the doctor who was delivered by Zurich, Mommy advised you not to be late for breakfast and took you for a walk, if you want." Bella said at length, I saw a beautiful woman who was very excited to live this day. I was the only one who was still lounging in bed, while the others had other activities.
"Bella, thank you .." I said slowly, I got up and began to lay back on the side of the bed, Then took a glass of water and drank it until it was finished, Bella opened the curtains and showed the sky much more beautiful. There are lots of trees out there, the sound of birds and the smell of flowers makes me feel calm.
"Can we go for a walk in the woods back there?" I asked Bella, because yesterday I did get to see a beautiful and neatly arranged forest. The trees are lined up in a straight line, I don't know if going there still looks beautiful or not.
"Sure, we'll go there. While the weather is still nice, it hasn't snowed yet and the trees are still showing their beautiful colors, Ahh.. I always love last fall. Like this, it's like seeing another world." Bella said to me, I smiled and saw what food was brought. I don't know what the name of the food is, but maybe it's a typical country menu.
"What's the name of this food? It looks delicious, the color catches my eye." I told Bella, I always like food when the color is pleasing to the eye.
"Its name is Gulaschsuppe, it is a typical German dish. Maybe Hungarian to be precise. A thick soup containing beef or pork. This meat is not cut as usual, but the meat is chopped rather large. Usually, German people eat this soup with bread. You should try it, it tastes really good." Bella told me.
"But I don't like pork." I said honestly..
"Oh calm down, Mommy knows that. So it's made using selected beef." Bella winked at me, I immediately smiled and took the soup and a spoon. Feed it slowly into my mouth.
"What did you work as Bella before?" I opened the chat, after a while there was no conversation between us.
"Right now, I'm busy taking care of boutiques. Zurich made a beautiful boutique for me. I can work when I'm bored, but if I'm tired. I can rest or take a vacation." Bella is a person who is always honest and says what she is, I who heard her say just smiled a little.
"I'm glad you've got a good job. I once thought about working in a fashion company. But no one has ever received a job application letter from me." I said laughing, then once again took the soup into my mouth. the taste is not too bad, my mouth can still accept it, you know for yourself that special foods like this are usually difficult for us to accept in our mouths. have to adapt several times, then we get used to it. But it turns out this food is quite what I like.
"You just ask Mommy to make a company engaged in fashion, I'm sure it will be granted. It's not a difficult thing." Bella's words again make me feel funny, can a company just be bought like that? See how the world is so easy to play around with.
"Really, my Berenice family is really rich? is it richer than the Douglas family?" I asked, I was a little curious about the rich families who had a lot of money and could buy anything. Why do they seem to never run out of money?
"To be more precise, these two families are rich in their respective fields. Maybe the Douglas Family is famous for being very rich because the company is engaged in the world economic sector, more in food, pharmaceutical, technological sophistication and several other subsidiaries. The Douglas family almost controls 10% world economy, so it can be ascertained that the annual income is truly extraordinary.
Meanwhile, our family is part of a black market company. You know weapons of war, nuclear, bombs, submarines, fighter planes. Ammunition and various things for the defense of a country. from there our company earn a lot of money. Every year our company always creates new, more sophisticated tools to continue to dominate the black market. The world knows we exist, but is like a shadow. No one can really ever find us, only a few important people. One of them is the Douglas Family." Bella said at length, I listened carefully.
"Do you think our business can be said to be a good business?" I asked again, I heard the word ammunition a national defense. why does it feel so weird? Like a business that is indeed on the run to destroy something.
"Whether a business is good or bad, who knows? It all depends on how other people see it. After all, from our business, there are many workers who can live comfortably and send their children to school. This is how the world works, we can't know what is good or not. fine. So from now on, you should be able to see everything with your eyes wide open. The world is wide, it can't be seen from one side only." Bella's words are quite reasonable, I've finished the soup she brought.
Then I got out of bed and started walking towards the balcony of the room. Looking up at the sky and breathing in the air is fine, isn't it.. We can't see the world from one side only, there are many different sides and produce different interpretations as well.
"Let's go for a walk in the woods, Bella.. I think my body needs some fresh air." I said to Bella. She immediately nodded and smiled happily.
Bella and I had put on our jackets and trousers for a walk in the woods behind the Mansion. Bella also brought some bodyguards behind us, I don't know why she brought bodyguards. Maybe he's afraid something will happen to us if it's just the two of us.
My eyes immediately widened when I saw the tall trees in front of me up close. "This is an artificial tree?" I asked Bella, because I was quite surprised to see the colorful tree trunks Like in the Barbie movie.
"No, this is a real tree. You've never seen a tree like this?" She looked at me while holding the tree trunk, I also held it and it was really real.
"No, what kind of tree is this?" I asked again.
"You know? This is the most beautiful rainbow tree in the world. A rainbow tree with beautiful color gradations grows natively, in the rainforests of Indonesia, especially in Papua and Maluku. The rainbow tree presents the beauty of natural artwork from the Creator with various colors attached. There is red , blue, green, yellow, brown, and various other colors, from the roots to the highest shoots.
Its scientific name is Eucalyptus deglupta which means peeling eucalyptus. This tree is better known as the rainbow tree or rainbow eucalyptus. It is known by the name of this leda similar to the uniforms of elite military forces, so the rainbow tree is also dubbed the camouflage tree. This tree grows big and towering. This plant is endemic to Papua New Guinea, Papua Island, Seram Island, Maluku, and Sulawesi." Bella said at length
"Wow! amazing, I think this is a really pretty tree. Tall and beautiful." I said while looking at the tip of the tree up there. "How do you live here? I think Indonesia has a different climate from ours.." I said again, when I found out that Indonesia has more dry and rainy seasons.
