The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 450: Rect of Loneliness

A week passed, and Das and Elena hadn't seen each other or didn't even talk.

Das waited for Elena to call him, but the call never came.

Another week passed after that, but she still hadn't called him.

Das was kind of sad and angry that she hadn't called him. He thought that he was the only one missing her.

In the end, he gave up on waiting and called Elena, but she didn't answer the call.

He waited for a while before calling again, but she never responded to his call.

The entire day passed, and Das kept calling her.

The next day, Das decided to go to Elena's home and talk to her. Das was thinking Elena was ignoring him.

He got ready and made his way to Elena's home before stopping by the convenience store to grab some snacks for Elena.

When Das reached Elena's house, there was no one present in the house-- it was locked.

'She hasn't come back from her grandparent's place yet?' Das wondered.

Elena said she would stay for about a week with her grandparents, but it had been more than two weeks, and she still wasn't back.

Worried, Das called Lucas, but Lucas didn't answer his call. He then tried to call Rebecca and finally, his call was answered-- but it wasn't Rebecca, it was Lucas.

[How dare you call my wife?!] Lucas yelled.

"Where is Elena?"

[Answer my question, first]

"Where is Elena?" Das asked again.

[It's none of your business--]

"Please answer, or I will burn your house."

[Is that a threat?]

"Maybe it is?"

[I can sue you for threatening a lawyer, you know?]

"I don't care."

After a long silence, Das heard Lucas sighing.

[She is with her grandparents. I thought she had already informed you about it.]

"She did, but it's been two weeks."

[Uhh well she is sick]

"What?!" Das yelled.

[She is sick.]

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" 

[Calm down, kid.]

"How the fuck am I supposed to calm down?!"

[She is sick, and you can't do anything about it]]

"I will call the best doctors in the world."

[There is no need. She is already recovering.]

"Can you tell me the address of her--"

[I won't.]

Lucas rejected Luka as though he knew what Das was going to ask.

"Why? Do you hate me that much?!" Das questioned.

[It's not about hating or anything. She is sick, and you can't do anything about it. If you go there, then she might just get more anxious]

"..."

[You should know her better than anyone,] Lucas added.

"I want to talk to her."

[You can't]

"I want to see her."

[You can't]

"You don't understand how I am feeling right now!" Das roared.

[I don't need to understand. You and your barbaric mother are the same.]

"..."

[Alright, then, I am busy, so don't ever call again. Goodbye.]

Lucas hung up the call.

Das' face twitched as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He stood there still for about ten seconds, then opened his eyes and smashed his phone to the ground in anger.

"Damn that bastard!"

Das sighed and picked up all the broken parts of his phone, then made his way to his home.

After that, he didn't come out of his room for ten days.

He had ordered a new phone online but didn't even unbox the phone.

He barely ate and drank, barely took a bath, or did anything.

Angela got worried about Das and called Rebecca and Rebecca told Angela everything.

Later that day, when Angela was sitting in the living room while staring at Das' room, waiting for him to come out of his room-- Angela's phone rang.

Angela lazily moved her hand to her phone and looked at the caller's name. She then immediately stood up and dashed upstairs to Das' room.

She banged on his door, but Das didn't respond. 

"Das! Open the door!" She yelled.

"Please leave me alone." The door was muffling Das' voice, but Angela couldn't tell how hoarse Das' voice was.

"It's a call from Elena!"

After some thumping noise, the door opened, and Das snatched the phone from Angela's hand, then closed the door.

As Das phone was broken and he didn't set up the new one yet, Elena couldn't call Das, so she called Angela.

Angela stood in front of Das' room for ten minutes and waited for Das to come out.

After waiting for five more minutes, Das opened the door and gave the phone back to Angela.

Angela took her phone while saying, "Are you good now?"

Das nodded.

"Then open the door and come out of the room."

Das sighed and opened the door, then walked into the door.

Angela walked with a furious look on her face, "I told you to come out!"

"I am just taking out my clothes-- I am going to take a bath."

"Oh! Fine then."

Angela waited for Das to take out his clothes, and when he left the room, only then she left the room with Das.

Das walked downstairs, and Angela followed him.

"DOn't you have something you need to say?" Angela asked.

Das stopped and turned around as he looked at Angela, then sighed, "I am sorry for making you worry."

Angela stared at Das for some seconds, then sighed as she walked to the living room. "Listen, Das; if you don't tell your problems, we can't help you. If something is bothering you, you need to be honest with your parents, you know?"

"Stuff like that doesn't come to mind when you are depressed."

Angela walked to the kitchen as she muttered, "Never knew she would affect you this much."

Das couldn't hear it clearly, but he heard some of the words. "Even I don't' why." He muttered and entered the bathroom.

After that, he took a bath and ate dinner.

The next day, he went to school as Elena had asked him to.

"Why did she call me behind the school?" Das wondered as he made his way behind the school.
