Chapter 1 - Home Sweet Home
Romos is quite different from Papunika. The country is bigger in term of size and has a longer history of founding. For generations Romos has been the world capital of gold. There are many prolific gold producing regions in Romos. Gold mining and trading are core advantages of the country. The gold business are conducted in many levels, from governmental to corporate and retailing.
Hyunkel has no interest in this.
Before moving to Dylan, Romos three and a half years ago, he had decided to remain in the area of building and construction simply because he likes seeing harmony in architecture and urban planing. Very soon he operated his own firm in Romos. Running his own business has given him more flexibility and larger areas of development. Meanwhile, he is still leading the project being agreed and funded by all kingdoms in the World Summit four years ago. The project is in its second phase. He has been working with experts and authorities in all kingdoms that involved. He is no longer going to Papunika that frequently, his time has been occupied by new locations of the project and by new markets penetrations of his business. Work in Papunika is in a stable stage and is delegated to the regional office of his organization.
However, within the last two months he has come to Papunika for three times. He has no choice. That person is there due to her study and then due to her unplanned leisure trips with Leona.
Sometimes, when he is alone at night and that person is thousands of miles away, he doesn't stay understanding or cool any longer, he just wants to bring her back no matter what.
...
"Emmi." Hyunkel walks to her. He is not surprised. The board secretary has informed about her sudden visit. He hasn't met her for years, since the day they farewelled each other in Benga after the World Summit several years ago.
"It has been four years. How have you been?" She asks.
"I'm doing well. Sorry to make you wait. How have you been?"
"I've been working in Ringaia."
"I know."
He has way to many networkings to miss out such important information. He knows Emmi has been appointed the position of Papunika Ambassador in Ringaia, one of Mn Komice's biggest markets. Regardless of setting up in Romos, his business is registered in Papunika, just as Queen Leona's request.
"Shall we go for lunch? There are many things I need your updates." She smiles.
"Ok. I need to make a call in my room first. Do you mind following me?"
"Of course not."
...
Marm's phone is off after a ring. He can't get in touch after that.
"I heard from Marlin that she has been in Papunika for months, and she is really having fun, you know... It's the art festival now in..." Emmi excitedly tells him about events in Papunika.
Emmi is right, Marm loves art more than she actually shows. Hyunkel has noticed the talent of his wife in interior design, he has been encouraging her to seriously pursue a study in this area. However, the longest course Marm has ever attended lasted for three months. His Marm prefers spending time in social activities, in taking care of their sons: Karl and Danny, and in being pampered by him. All are fine for Hyunkel, as long as Marm is happy.
Thinkings about Marm keep running in his mind, he doesn't really listen to what Emmi is saying.
"Pardon me?" He asks her.
Emmi gives him a sweet smile, "You drive for us, don't you? I have already asked my driver to have lunch."
"Sure, no problem..."
He forgot the car key in the office. He is seldom this absent minded. Normally, it's Marm who...
Marm'd better come back as soon as possible, or I can't stand her absence any longer.
When opening the door, somebody almost bumps into him. Somebody with a lovely smell.
"Oh..." The familiar sweet voice comes out from her, revealing the adorable clumsiness of hers.
He has such a delighted surprise.
It's his Marm. She is in a simple outfit with shirt and long skinny pants. There is a lovely smell from her that he is addicted to.
He can get angry when she is separated from him longer than expected. Yet when he is standing in front of her, just like the time being, all he wants to do is to get her into the room and shows his man power.
"When did you arrive Romos? How long have you been waiting here..." He walks Marm back to his office.
"Don't you like the surprise?" She asks him, comfortably leans in him and stays in his strong arms.
"I do. I like this kind of surprise." He says while kissing her cheeks. "That's why nobody tells me where you are."
"I miss you very much. So I come here to see you first. Karl and Danny are home now."
"I see." He is over the moon when hearing that. "So what can I do for you? Mrs Marm."
"Take me to lunch, maybe? Or are you taking another woman for lunch?"
"...Now I remember I'm having a lunch."
"Then let's go to the lunch first, ok?"
"No. Show me how much you miss me first."
She kisses on his cheek quickly. "This is my one percent deposit."
"Hmm... that's it? You stingy Marm." He continues to hold her in his arms and moves his fingers on her lips. He doesn't want to let her go yet.
"But I'd do anything you want later."
"You really know how to make me wait." He pinches her earlobe and is glad to hear the sincere promise. Then he places a hard, passionate kiss on her lips. "I don't give deposit. This is my free gift." And he repeats the kisses all over her sweet and soft lips again and again.
Marm's hands are wrapping around his neck, she giggles, "Aren't you making a loss giving too many free gifts?"
"I never make any loss with this customer. Why do you show up this delicious?" He places both hands on her tiny waist, eyeing on the fullness of her breasts covered under her shirt. The temptation has become so strong that he finds it hard to resist.
"Are there other customers? There are many beautiful and talented ladies you meet at your work."
"Who are they? You're gone here, Marm." He traces his lips to her neck and shoulder while his hands find the familiar way to unbutton her shirt. He knows he has brought in a course of excitement throughout her. Marm is easily turned on by him. Her whole body is very sensitive.
He is ruthless to make her knows how much has he been desired for her, she is so wanted, she is so beautiful. It has been more than ten days of separation, there are so much loves, drives and emotions that need to release. He kisses all over the naked parts of her body.
He barely remembers what happened next except a great time making out with her in his office, before finding his phone to send a text to Emmi.
"What do you text her?" Marm asks, placing her lips everywhere on his chest.
"Do you really bother?" He grabs their clothes and take Marm home with the teleportation.
...
"Dinner? Am I invited?" Marm reads the text together with him on their bed. She is feeling an immediate jealousy.
"Sit on me again and I'd let you join."
"What? How come you be so mean?" She pinches his face.
"Sit on me, babe." He asks, kissing her cheek.
"No."
"Ok ..." And he pushes her on the bed to lay down on her. He stars with her lips, moves down to her neck, her shoulder and further down till below her tummy. Eventually, she sits on him again.
...
Days of their family are back to normal. When Marm is not around, his evenings are occupied by all dinner meetings and events. Hyunkel is involved in political matters of Romos, something tagged along by the networks he has and the influences of Mn Komice Corp. And when Marm is around, they attend these functions together in the evenings and split parenting duties during day time. Although Mrs Rella is living in Romos, Marm seldom asks for the support of her mother. She wants Hyunkel and herself to take care of the boys.
Marm is active in community projects that help children, elderly, women, animals... all are her loves. People in Romos usually see Marm with her hair up and a casual style of long tight pants, shirt of medium length. But the simplicity can neither hide her natural attractiveness nor a fact that she is milady of the powerful Mn Komice corporation. And the simplicity would be faded away the moment people see her watch, normally made of gems like diamonds and emeralds. Her watch collections are exceptional luxurious items that they seldom see anyone else wear.
To be honest Marm is influenced by Hyunkel and is spoiled by him.
Tonight, the drive to home is quite noisy with Karl and Danny's voices singing at back seats and news of Teran that the couple are listening from radio. Teran has been a concern of many countries due to its happening conflict between the public and royal government.
Marm is reluctant to support a huge change that may happen in Teran, where Menru and Pop's family is residing. To her, the change is too uncertain, she is concerned on safety of the vulnerable. This point of view is quite different from Hyunkel's. But Hyunkel knows Marm is not wrong, it's just that he would support the chance for something better.
And now Marm is listening to the news with a tenseness. There is a public attack in Teran right at the moment. The attack started hours ago and still going on.
"It's the battle of people in Teran. Don't worry, this is not a time something like war would happen." Hyunkel tells her.
"Then what would these conflicts lead to, what do you think?"
"Probably they would split the country through a legal agreement, or they would evolute for a new political system. Without war. Nobody in Teran is keen on war."
"You are involving in something, aren't you?" She asks him with questioning eyes. Because his answer gives her a hint that he knows too much.
"I support Pop, that's it." He smiles. "The issue in Teran has occupied a little bit of my time recently."
...
The boys are sleeping in Marm and Hyunkel's room. As usual they had fun time fighting with their father to rescue each other before the sleep.
Seeing these three guys occupying the bed, Marm wants to have her team, too.
"But not now..." She sits on Hyunkel and wraps her arms around him.
"Well, even when Dan is eighteen, we are still able to have a new baby."
She reacts to his response by biting him on his shoulder.
"... If you wanna bite, bite my fingers."
"No." She shakes her head and keeps placing her lips on his shoulder, kissing and biting him all over there.
And he carries her to the reading lounge of their bedroom to not wake the kids up
...
"I'm not going away for months."
"What a surprise... Why?" He can also feel how tight she is holding him.
"I don't want to sleep without you. You have spoiled me in this home."
"I know. I can spoil you more."
"Then... we'd go to Teran next weekend, ok?"
"Give me the itinerary first."
"You've just said you would like to spoil me."
"But I have to be careful with Marm, so easy to be cheated by Marm."
"I don't cheat... I can quickly finish the itinerary now." She smiles happily while stretching her hand to reach the notebook on desk, and he has to hold her back before she may fall down. The desk is totally out of her reach.
"So lazy, Marm. Just walk there."
And he has a good short time looking at the naked Marm walking around the room.
...
Danny gets up in silence. He is yawning and moving along the bed, and then sits up, discovers there are only brother and himself in the room.
He looks around and climbs down the bed. Danny knows where dad and mom are. He happily runs to "dad and mom's room", where he can always find them if they are not on the bed.
"Appa... Up up" Danny laughs and tries to talk to Hyunkel. He is so happy to wake up dad and mom but they are still sleeping. So after a while Danny plays alone by himself.
He doesn't have many toys, just a little tiger car that he has to push by himself, he takes a ride on it around the room, lays on the sofa, runs to the window to look at birds outside, waves his little hands to say hello with gardeners. Getting tired, he climbs back to bed and wakes the brother up.
"Good morning Dannie." Karl says and yawns.
"Birds..." He points toward the window to show his brother.
"Wow... There're alot birds! Dannie, you are so cool." Karl looks at his brother with excitement.
"Dannie's birds. Kar Kar's birds." Danny claims and claps his hands.
Karl laughs. He helps his brother to climb down the bed and walk to their parents together.
"Daddy, mom, get up. You have to get up when it's morning."
Hyunkel is partly waken up, not because of Karl's voice but because Danny keeps patting on his shoulder.
"Morning boys. How come you both are here..."
"Dannie finds a lot of birds." Karl tells Hyunkel.
"Really? Dannie? Show me, ok?" He pinches the chubby cheek of his boy.
Looking at Marm who is still asleep next to him, he puts on the robe and quietly carries both boys out of the lounge. It is not even seven in the morning.
The morning of Romos is brighter than Papunika. The whole sky is turning to blue. In Papunika, the sky would be coloured in the sunrise pink at this hour.
Hyunkel carries the boys to the balcony because they want to see birds. Being fans of nature, Marm and himself have a good amount of birds families in their garden.
"Big big birds." Dannie points to the sky.
These flying big creature quickly catches the baby boy's attention. And they are very noisy, Dannie automatically covers his ears. So does Karl.
"Not birds, they are airplanes." Karl corrects the little brother.
Hyunkel looks at the sky, all flying objects are seen with the royal's coat of arms of Bengaia. He is concerned.
They are not airplanes, they are air forces.
