Chapter 167
**Tzalmon Point of View**
Sometimes, she is like a little fox who is cunning but still innocent at the same time.
Sometimes, she is like a bunny with cat claws who knows only to scratch everyone.
But sometimes, she is also like a dangerous tigress with a soft plum like heart.
Eblilis has such contradictory characteristics that makes it so interesting to be around her. She is so damn intriguing.
Now, looking at her own cleverness being backfired against her, the wholesome expressions she is giving is like a driller drilling into my heart and filling it with some really important and gentle yet passionate emotions.
She looks pretty angry for being taken advantage but she doesn't have any resentment towards the kiss we shared which means she doesn't mind at all.
So, collecting all my thoughts, I arranged them in a proper way, analyzed them and finally came to a conclusion.
"Eblilis, let's have another baby, okay?" I want a daughter this time. My son is too much of a mamma's boy but this time, my daughter's exclusive love and attention will be on me.
After coming to this world, I realized and saw that fathers here love, adore and want daughters more passionately than sons. I've made a few friends along the way in the past couple of years and few of them are fathers of both sons and daughters.
However, I saw that they are more lenient and gentle towards daughters, while they are more loving and educational towards their sons. When I asked a few why it is so, they said the feeling a daughter gives to a father is so different from what a son gives.
While son gives the feeling of love and security, daughters are like fairies who provides fathers with a strange kind of fulfillment and a drive to be better and protect them with their life.
When I heard that, I felt an itch in my heart. Back in my realm, almost all the families value male heirs more and when they have daughters, although they are give a good life and treated fairly well, it's not like how it is in this world.
Men here act almost like fools for their daughters. Look at Noemi's father; he can do anything for his daughter as long as it is legal and reasonable.
I also want to feel that!
I also want a cute little daughter!
"Where did you get hurt? Let me see." She leaned towards me and touched my head looking for any possible bruises.
"I don't see any bump or scar. It must be some disorder." She nodded to herself as if she was satisfied with her conclusion. "I'll not take your nonsense to heart then."
"I mean it. I want a daughter, a son will do too but after we have a daughter, we can have our second son. Let's make them." I made a tight fist to show how serious I am.
"I don't want to." She glanced at me briefly and said nonchalantly.
"Why not?"
"Why should I?"
"Because we are together and will be together in future too."
"So?"
"So it is better to have more branches on our tree."
"Our tree? I am not part of your tree nor are you a part of mine. How can we have branches, fruits and flowers together? Don't daydream and go practice on you barbeque skills." I was disappointed at first when I heard her but the next moment I read between the lines and understood what she meant.
The more I thought about what she said, the more I understood the meaning behind her words.
What she said is true. Now I know what I need to do.
"I understand. Then we will become one tree then. Don't worry, I'll make it happen immediately." I hopped happily and hugged her tightly.
After spending two minutes in kissing her, I rubbed my hands enthusiastically to practice my barbeque skills.
"Ey, what do you understand? I did not mean anything else. Stop right there and tell me what nonsense did you understand." With a dreamy smile, I gave her a I-will-not-disappoint-you smile.
"What's with the look and smile? I did not mean anything otherwise."
"Eblilis, I know what you meant. Thank you so much. I will never disappoint you."
"I did not!" She tried so hard to pretend and I almost believed it but now that I know she always means yes when she said no, I'm relieved.
"Trust me, I know what you mean. With how much I understand you now, should we even exchange words between us? Just a simple glance from you tells me stories. Stories, I tell you." Unable to contain my joy and excitement, I left the barbequing for later and went to make few secret calls first.
After asking her not to follow me, I chose a secret corner to make those important calls.
"Majesty, you can't be missing us right?" Eelk has lost it.
"Not at all. I sent you few messages, look at them and get back to me. Now let me talk to Igses." If only Igses has a personal phone too.
But Eblilis is completely against him having a personal phone until he reaches high school. She wants her son to be active on sports field rather than coop up in a corner of house with phone glued to his face.
"Yes, Majesty." A minute later, I heard soft footsteps followed by a childish arrogance on the phone.
"Isn't it the Majesty who kidnapped my mamma to have a camping trip alone?" Through the arrogant cute tone, I can clearly hear mirth from it.
He is laughing at me and I don't have to bet my head to confirm the reason about it.
The pictures!
"I did it partly for you. My dear son, do you want a sister?" I slowly released the bait.
"Sister? A little cute bunny like baby that needs my love and protection?"
"Yes."
"The little tail that follows me everywhere calling me 'brother'?"
"Yes."
"The little Xerox machine that copies everything I do?"
"Naturally."
"The adorable small girl that I can teach everything I know and play with?"
"Exactly!"
"Of course, I want a sister. Are you kidnapping a sister for me?" Does he think of his father as a trafficker?
What place do I have in his heart?
"She will come from your mamma like how you came out. A blood related sister, not the one who tags a criminal record on our family." Sometimes, I cannot understand what goes on in this little guy's mind.
"Then when you reproduce?" Hmm? Although what meant was right, why does it sound weird?
"You mamma wants to marry me first before your sister came out." I finally broke the news out to the first person who needs to give the consent.
"Mamma... said this herself?" The pure doubt in his tone is huge dent on my ego.
Does my little son have no confidence on his father's flirting, chasing and wooing talent?
"Yes. She herself told me that she will not have another child with me until we are bound together as one tree. What does it mean; it means a 'yes' to an unspoken confession. She did not even give me a chance to give her a grand proposal." I shared the good news with my son happily.
"Why do I feel like you are over thinking over what mamma said?"
"Do you think you know your mamma more than I do? Your mamma is right now completely blinded for me. She might scold me a lot but it is all out of love. Trust me and do something for me."
"Alright, what do you want me to help you with?"
"Aren't we coming back by tomorrow evening, help me prepare a wedding venue for me and your mamma. I will directly propose her with a wedding ring. I calculated and found out that tomorrow, the whole day is auspicious for any celebrations. What are your thoughts, son."
"I can make the arrangements for you, but what if at the nick of the moment, mamma tells you that you misunderstand her meaning?" How can there be any misunderstanding?
I could clearly hear her urge to change her family name to mine.
"'I am not part of your tree nor are you a part of mine. How can we have branches, fruits and flowers together?' This is what she said. Doesn't it mean, she wants to be in my family tree before having branches, fruits and flowers?"
"It does seem like she agreed but it also feels like it's a common comment. Alright, let's bet our money on your intuition then. Dad, leave the wedding and proposal preparations to me. I will make it beautiful." Now that's like the son I gave birth to.
"I can only entrust the job to you. Order around your uncle Eelk and others to get things done." I gave the important job of my life to my dear son.
I can only be reassured if he does this task.
"Leave it to me. I and Noemi will be the planners to this wedding." Even in such a prominent task, he will not leave his friend out of it,
No wonder both of them have such deep friendship.
Anyways, with my son in charge of preparations, I can rest assured and continue swooning his mother.
By tomorrow night, Eblilis will be a part of my tree as she wished!
