บท 6: Lipeh Tea
'The phone hooked her' Diana whispered to herself while looking at Athanasia who is currently holding a phone in her hand. 'It seems like... She really knows how that thing works, well as I expected, Athanasia is an Intelligent young woman. It's not really surprising but...'
"Mama! Let's take a picture" Athanasia sat beside Diana while taking a selfie shot with her.
*CLICK*
"Mama you should use it as your wallpaper"
'It's been a year since the last time I used a phone' Athanasia thought to herself as she continues to click and scroll on her Mama's phone 'It's kind of disappointing that there is no signal here in Obelia, I pity this thing'
"Mama, are you--" Athanasia was about to ask a question to Diana but suddenly she saw an unexpected file on the phone. She quickly opened the file and a video of a dancing ballerina appeared on the screen.
Athanasia locked her eyes at the dancing woman on her screen. Every move of the ballerina was enchanting as if a beautiful fairy were dancing in the middle of the forest. 'How could be a ballerina dancer be this enchanting?' Athanasia asked herself.
"Do you like it? the dance performance? I was playing a part of a royal ballet dance called 'Giselle' at that moment. I asked Melia to record my practice so I can watch and improve myself more" Diana blurted out. "That video-- I mean that scenery was a year ago"
'WAIT so she's basically telling me that she is that ballerina dancer?!' Athanasia shockingly thought. 'I know my mother, as a dancer from siodonna, but I never thought that she's this amazing!'
"Athy?" Diana called her. "Athy?"
"Huh? yes mama?" Athanasia snapped out.
"You're spacing out, is there a problem?"
"Huh? Nothing mama, I'm just amazed by your performance, you look like a fairy dancing in the middle of the forest, very enchanting" Athanasia replied to Diana.
Diana blushed because of Athanasia's compliment. "Stop fluttering me. dear, I am not that good at dancing and it's been also a year since I stopped pursuing that career"
'I don't believe you' Athanasia thought while having a grin on her face. "Mama do you still know how to dance? Or perhaps know another dance?" Athanasia, who is currently curious, asked Diana.
"I do still know how to dance, but I am not sure if I can still lift my body like I used to, However, about the second question, I love practising some traditional dance" Diana replied while thinking about Fleur Estelle Belly Dance, Peacock Dance and Sword Dance in China and some folk dance in Egypt.
"Really mama? Can you show me"
"Sure next time"
'Diana is really talented, isn't she?'
"By the way, how was your day with your Daddy Claude?" Diana asked in curiosity. Athanasia looked upon Diana's face. She gave her an excited expression.
"It was kinda great, Papa Claude will join me for tea time one of these days. Why mama? want to see Papa Claude?" Athanasia, who just found a way to tease her mother as revenge, teased her.
"Whoa--, whoa... You are taking revenge on me" Diana who is shocked by Athy's attack of words exclaimed. 'Clever' Diana thought. 'However... I wonder how Claude looks like'
*DUG DUG DUG*
Her heart started to beat faster and louder. Diana who felt the acceleration on her heartbeat stood there dumbfounded. The familiar feeling of nostalgia stiffened her at that moment. 'What was that?'
Diana's eyes narrowed at Athanasia's jewelled eyes. "How does your daddy looks like?" She curiously asked.
'What?' Athanasia thought. 'I almost forgot that she is only the reincarnation of Diana, she may be my mother but in her current lifetime, she never saw Claude... thanks to Lucas, she has a chance now.'
"He looks like... A secret. I will show you next time" Athanasia replied. "Oh! It's already afternoon! Let's have a tea time mama, the weather outside is really good. Mama, I will make you a lipeh tea, what do you think?"
"Sounds good"
'Though I really don't know what lipeh tea taste like'
••••
'Beautiful... Very beautiful' Diana thought while roaming at the garden. Her eyes were on the beautiful roses.
She quickly picked one of the most beautiful flowers and placed it on her ear.
The scenery of the pink-flowered field was pleasing her eyes. The roses were complimenting the width of the area, 'Very Enchanting' She thought.
"Mama here! The tea is ready" Athanasia said while looking for her mother.
"Oh... I'm coming!" Diana said as she took her step nearing Athanasia. While walking, Diana glanced at the pink roses on her hands. 'I'll make a flower crown for Athanasia' She thought.
"Hmmm, the fragrance of the tea is really good"
"Of course mama. Lipeh tea is my favourite Tea. Sit down and have a taste" Athanasia proudly replied to Diana.
Athanasia's eyes narrowed at the hair of Diana. 'Even though her hair and eyes are colour black because of the disguise, I can't still hide the fact that she's Diana, who is very gorgeous. She looks like a Fairy for Pete's sake. Let's just hope that no one will notice'
Athanasia poured the tea on Diana's teacup before doing the same thing on her teacup. "There, there have a taste my lady"
A soft chuckle escaped from Diana's lips. "Of course, young woman" She carefully lifts the teacup, enjoying the familiar scent of the tea. Her eyes narrowed at the tea. 'The scent is familiar, the colour is familiar... The name of the tea is also familiar'
"Papa Claude habitually drink that tea. Sometimes he will invite me for a tea party"
"Lipeh tea..."
"Felix told me too that my mother... Loved this tea very much that she invited my Papa Claude to try it too" Athanasia who is observing her mother, said again.
Diana who felt an unexplainable feeling didn't utter a word, she instead gave Athanasia a soft smile.
'It must be hard for a child like her to grow up without a mother. But I'm already here now, I'll give my best to her.'
"I see..."
Diana gracefully took a sip from the teacup before placing it on a table.
'I like it! The taste of the tea is very refreshing. Better than my favourite Grape soda in Earth. This is the real 'nectar of gods' it feels like...'
"It feels like a flower is blooming inside my mouth" Diana happily exclaimed as she lifts her head to face Athanasia. "This is the real nectar of gods"
But instead of Athanasia happily replying to Diana's statement. The Princess appeared shocked and the uneasiness is written all over her face.
"Athy?" Diana called her.
•••
Athanasia who noticed the unexpected yet also expected person roaming around the garden remained frozen on her place. 'Why? Why now?' Athy thought
She narrowed her eyes at the two-person who is standing behind Diana. It seems like her mother didn't notice their presence.
"It feels like a flower is blooming inside my mouth" Diana stated "This is the real nectar of gods," Diana said when she placed the teacup at the table.
"Athy?"
Athanasia who is currently nervous didn't make a word to reply to her mother. 'I did not make any crime, aren't I? No need to feel nervous. I am innocent. Diana is wearing a disguise, there's no way they can find out her real identity right?'
"P-papa Claude" Athanasia nervously uttered.
The stoic face of Claude who appeared at the back of Diana didn't even move.
"Felix! You're also here hehe" Athanasia awkwardly said.
"So, this is the important business you've got," Claude said before glancing at the back of the blacked hair woman sitting in front of his daughter.
The disguised Diana flinched when she heard a familiar voice ringing around her ears. 'I-is this Claude?! Claude De Alger Obelia?!'
"G-Greetings to the sun of Obelia" Diana immediately greet Claude. She bowed her head trying to hide her face.
Claude only stared at her before giving his gaze on Athanasia, who is wearing a panicked face.
"Felix, get me a teacup"
"Pardon your majesty?"
"Don't make me repeat myself. I'll be joining their tea time"
'We're really doomed'
