The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 369: It's Okay

At around ten in the morning on the same day.

Elena and Selena were sleeping in the same bed.

Selena was sleeping nicely, facing the ceiling. While Elena kept changing her sleeping poses.

Sometimes she would kick Selena, sometimes her hands would squeeze her.

Annoyed, Selena opened her eyes and gave a big sigh.

She moved Elena's hand from her face and sat up.

'Her sleeping habits are as bad as ever', Selena thought as she got out of bed.

"Aah~ I had a nice sleep, is what I want to say. But," Selena glanced at sleeping Elena and said, "Only if she could learn how to sleep"

'I wonder how Das will handle her', Selena commented as she said, "But I don't think he knows about her sleeping postures yet"

'Elena will be living at his house if she scores more than ninety- five percent', Selna fixed her hair and said, "She grew up faster than me"

Selena was standing in front of the mirror and trying to fix her clothes before going downstairs.

Even though she was fixing her clothes, her gaze was on Elena.

Suddenly, Elana turned around and stopped at the edge of the bed.

Selena quickly rushed to the bed and rolled Elena to the middle of the bed.

"She seriously needs to learn how to sleep"

'Mom said El falls off her bed twice a week."

"Seriously, she is just like a kid", Selena poked Elena's cheek and said, "But she is married"

Selena looked at the window and said, "Married life, huh?"

'I still can't believe she is married.

Selena pinched Elena's cheek and said, "What a careless girl"

'She can't live without me', Selena sat on the bed beside Elena and said, "But if she moved to Das' place, I won't be able to meet her"

'Wait!... if she moved to Das' place, I won't be able to meet her?!'

"No way!", she held Elena's hand and said, "But I will be going back to grandpa's place once my vacation is over. I won't be coming here as frequently as I am coming right now anyway"

'And besides, Das' home is far from grandpa's house', Selena rubbed her hand on Elena's forehead and said, "But you are strong now. Stronger than me. Stronger than anyone I know"

"Das and El both love each other so much that they changed for each other. Meanwhile, me, I am the same as always"

Selena closed her eyes and heard the voice of a little boy saying, 'I will call you Sely from now on."

Selena opened her eyes and said, "No point reminiscing about the past now"

'So it is certainly true that going to the places you have been before when you were kids makes you remember your old memories'

Selena kissed Elena's forehead and said, "I wonder if she remembers anything"

'They weren't that close before. But look at them now, they can die for each other'

"I am not as strong as you, but I am learning. Just you wait, I will become a girl worthy to be your rival"

Selena was holding Elena's hand for a while now, but suddenly, Elena squeezed Selena's hand and made a painful expression on her face.

'Is he having a bad dream?'

Selena tried to shake Elena to wake her up, but Elena didn't wake up.

"What's wrong with her? She is sweating crazily"

Selena shook Elena again and again, but she wasn't waking up.

"Why", Elena muttered.

"El?"

Elena's body was wet with sweat as she let out groans.

"Mom!", Selena stood up and yelled, "Mom!"

Selena wanted to open the door and yell, but she didn't want to leave Elena alone. And besides, Elena was holding Selena's hand tightly.

Suddenly, with a deep scream, Elena opened her eyes.

Elena shattered at the ceiling for about ten seconds before moving her gaze to Selena, who was about to cry.

"Sely", Elena said as she started crying.

"Sely," Elena called out to Selena.

"Yes"

"Was that a dream?"

"Yes. You were having a nightmare"

"But it was too real to be a dream"

Selena hugged Elena and said, "It was a dream'

"I could feel everything"

"It was a dream"

"I", Elena sat up and hugged Selena back as she said, "It was a scary dream"

"Yes, it was only a dream"

"For some reason, I was driving your car, and I called Das"

"Shh!" Selena placed her finger on Elena's lips and said, "Don't tell me"

"And he kept yelling at me to stop the car, but I didn't listen to him"

"Don't remember it"

"I have no idea what was wrong with me. It was like his words weren't hitting my ears"

"Shut up, El"

"And as I was driving the car, Das.... his his hair was white, and he had a red-eye just like"

"El!"

"I lost control of the car, and the car rolled over many times before stopping"

Selena was shocked at this point and stopped stopping Elena from telling more.

"My legs were broken, and ribs too. I could feel the blood leaking in my body. I couldn't feel my lower half"

Selena hugged Elena tightly and said, "It's okay. You are fine right now"

"My hands were broken too. I tried to unbuckle the seatbelt. And after many tries, I was able to unbuckle it"

Elena hugged Selena back and said, "Then as I was about to crawl out of the car, the truck came and crushed me with the car"

Selena started rubbing her hand on Elena's back and said, "It's okay"

"And I fell down the cliff with the car"

"It's okay"

"I could feel the pain. It was so real"

"It's okay. You are okay. Everything is okay"

"Das"

Hearing Das' name, Selena stopped rubbing her hand and said, "What about Das?"

"I want to talk with him"

"But you are crying right now. You need to stop crying first"

"I will voice call him"

"He will know by your voice that you are crying"

"I just want to hear his voice, so I can know he is okay"

"Fine, I will call him"

Selena picked up her phone and dialed Das' number. 

She was about to call him, but stopped and put her phone back on the table.

"Why did you stop?", asked Elena.

"Give me your phone"

Elena searched for her phone on the bed and found it under the pillow.

"Here", Elena said as she handed her phone to Selena.

"Unlock it"

"The password is yours and my name"

Selena opened the lock and dialed Das' number.

She gulped down and said, "I am calling him"

Elena nodded and said, "I just want to hear his voice. You can cut the call after that. I will talk with him later"

Selena called Das.

"It's ringing", said Selena.

"Put it on the speaker"

Selena put the call on the speaker.

After about five more rings, the call was picked.

Selena gulped down and said, "Hello?"

[Hello?]

'It's a girl's voice!'

[Hello, Elena? This is Dai Daulla speaking]

'Why does she have his phone?!, Selena thought as she said, "Hello Daulla, can you put Das on the call?"

[Lil Das is in a meeting right now]

Selena glanced at Elena, and Elena nodded in return.

"Alight, I will call back later"

[Okay. Selena]

Selena's eyes widened in surprise as she said, "How do you know I am Selena?"

[It was just an instinct]

Selena gulped down as she said, "You are wrong, I am Elena"

[You have grown stronger, Selena]

"What do you-Selena looked at the screen and said, "She hung up the call on me!"

"I will call back again", Selena said as she dialed the number again.

Elena stood up and snatched her phone from Selena's hand saying, "It's fine"

"But she"

"Don't forget, I just asked you to call him to know Das is okay or not, "

"You said you wanted to hear his voice", Selena remarked.

"But Daulla said Das is in the meeting. That means he must be okay"

Selena furrowed her eyebrows and said, "So you trust her more than me?"

"I am not saying that. But Daulla is someone very close to Das. She knows more about Das than me, and if she is saying he is okay, then he must be okay"

Selena clicked her tongue and said, "She had his phone. You are not going to say anything about that?"

"Das must have given her before he went to the meeting"

"What if he was sleeping with her?"

"He was"

"What?!"

"He told me he sleeps with Lier and Daulla"

"Why Why are you perfectly okay with it? I mean yeah, you said you don't mind sharing him. But if they were sleeping together, then they must have. done something"

"Yeah"

Selena looked at Elena in both shock and surprise, and said, "I hope you act the same way when I do that"

Elena smiled and said, "I will"

Selena scoffed and said, "Why are you like this"

The door opened and Rebecca entered the room saying, "What's all this ruckus?"

Selena turned around and said, "Listen, mom, Elena had a very bad--"

Elena covered Selena's mouth and whispered, "I won't let you get near Das if you tell mom"

Selena gritted her teeth and said, "It's nothing"

Rebecca looked at Selena with pity in her eyes and said, "Sucks to be you"

Selena's jaw dropped as she said, "Yeah, yeah. Sucks to be me, but guess what?"

Rebecca raised her eyebrows and said, "What?"

"Selena grinned and said, "At least, I won't have a husband like you"

"I heard that!", Lucas shouted from downstairs.
