Zephyra Point of View

I will definitely build it.

It's not too difficult as long as I have enough funds and resources. And for funds and resources, my family is so supportive that they are fighting to invest in my new projects.

I love Valen family. Absolutely love them.

I could see not just doubts but also ridicule on grrrgal's face, eyes, nose and nose hair too. But what am I?

I am the only member of Virelle tribe family living on this planet and for Virelles' normal can be impossible but abnormal can be done as easily as sneezing in cold.

Dad and mom invested a lot of connections in my upcoming project. Kaiya, Cyrus, Liana helped me with other resources while grrrgal is giving me a hefty cash for the big thing.

For some reason, I felt that he did not want to give me money but was forced to by the family. Nonetheless, I now have everything I need to start the big project.

I specially asked Oreo to be my civil engineer and interior designer. He is not a civil engineer or a designer then why did I ask him to do it?

Because best friends should stick together and also because Oreo is a painter. A painter is an imaginative and artistic person so they don't have to be great gold medalist engineers for some simple tasks. They can use their own imaginative skills to absolutely surprise everyone.

Via is good with metal designing so she is allocated to help Oreo with interior by designing and making some really good hangings and all for the super houses. She is basically a manager.

As for the magical materials, that's my stuff to do. I have a lot of guidance in these things after reading the diaries of several ancestors.

Thinking about everything... Gosh, I'm so excited.

I didn't know everything would start so smoothly without any hindrance.

Now, I will amaze the world and those science people with soul stirring inventions and houses. Even they will have to go to my super houses after having a tough day at laboratory.

Hmph!

"Why did you order such fine wood for?" Grrrgal walked into our bedroom and stilled for a moment, looking at piles of fine and expensive wood in the balcony.

He slowly untied his tie and loosened his shirt button for better air circulation and then sat down on the tea table in the balcony as he scanned the pile of wood and other materials, I bought just this morning.

"To make amulets and charms." I answered briefly as I slowly got back to carving the wood.

"I remember you love to use pine wood to make those charms because it is cost effective and gets damaged easily after it's work is done so that you can make money by making people buy more and more charms from you? Why this sudden change of morality?" Oops, grrrgal, do you have to reveal my trade secrets so openly?

"These charms are not for ordinary use. They are to be used in sacred line formations for my super houses."

"Sacred what?"

"Sacred line formations." I repeated and thought for a while on how to give him a simple explanation. "Hmm, it's like array formations but more ancient and rawer. Back in those days, the tribes used to follow star alignments, cosmic energy, astrology etc., make such formations not only provide protection to the whole community but also as a part of rituals to gather more sacred energy."

"So, what you are making is a magic tool." Grrrgal is so good at guessing wrong.

"Not magic but spiritual instruments. Spiritual things use sun, moon, stars, cosmos, nature and all the good energy around to guide, protect, and align the soul with the rhythms of the universe. These spiritual sacred instruments cannot be made carelessly with simple and easily breakable material. They are to be used for long time and they should have the capacity to hold and transform the sacred spiritual energy. So, I'm using the wood of 'Tree of life'."

I took my time to explain him carefully so that he doesn't ask the same question again due to lack of understanding. I'm already so busy with work recently and cannot spare the lecture classes at all.

Thankfully, Mom has a big piece of land that is still sitting vacant and is not being used at all so she gave it to me to build my super houses.

I recently went there with grrrgal to look at the piece of land and to say it is big is an understatement. In short, I can make at least ten of such super houses sets there.

Not to forget my current set of super houses contains twelve houses in total.

I was so thankful to her that I almost cried for two days after I received the land.

I seriously love my family. They are so loyally supportive that it makes me exuberant.

"Isn't that tree a restricted item with several limitations levied by the government?" He spoke with caution and doubt.

"That's right, most of this heap is old antique wood which is perfect for my intentions. There is a small bit of fresh wood but dad helped me get it under legal procedure so not a problem." I said waving my hand casually and then suddenly looked at him for a while thoughtfully.

"Grrrgal, why don't you freshen up, eat something and come help me? Please help me cut the wood into required size and shape without making any waste." Please agree. Please!

I have to make so many of these objects and only I can make them so I need help.

Usually, a second person who is not into this profession and not closely related to me cannot touch this work but spouses are different.

Spouses share a bond that balances these energies which is actually helpful as such times.

"I don't want to meddle in your nonsense –"

Before he could finish his rejection, I, the smart and an intelligent Zephyra, used the tactic that works perfect with kids. "It's just that my wood cutting technique is still in amateur level and results in a lot of wastage. I thought, my grrrgal is so talented in everything he does and he is filled with skills to brim so you would definitely teach me a thing or two and help me with this. But since you don't want to, nevermind." I sighed.

"So what if such expensive and precious wood is going to be wasted." And I sighed again as I whispered loud enough for him to hear clearly.

"So what if I might hurt myself in the process."

"So what if –"

"Alright, don't chirp - chirp anymore." He frowned a little but still decided to help me which gave me a huge sense of satisfaction.

Now I know that grrrgal is like an adult who can only be conquered using children-coaxing techniques. Hehehe!

"But first, I want something from you. Only if you give it to me, I will help you." He leaned forward and looked at me with dark intended gaze.

Yiyaa! How can he talk like that in broad daylight?

I'm so shy now.

"What are you doing at this time of day? Let's do it at night." I said, blushing red.

Grrrgal is too much!

"Don't overthink. What I want from you is an answer. An honest answer." Oh!

"I like you too." I declared genuinely, giving him the answer to his unasked question.

What might a husband want a wife to answer about honestly?

Of course, it's the matters of heart.

Of course, it is about the feelings.

"Again, don't overthink. Listen to my question first." He scowled as he gazed at me deeply for a moment before continuing.

"On our wedding night and the whole week after that, I felt hot, aroused and very attached to you. Does it have something to do with you?"

Yiyaa! Why is he asking me about this now?

I kind of feel a little guilty.

"Indirectly, yes." I mumbled softly hoping for him not to hear it.

But he did. "Explain."

"It's a charm."

"A charm? Again? You used something like that to –"

"I did not use it. It was mom. Actually, I didn't know about it too." I scratched my head guiltily, avoiding to look at him.

"Tell me clearly." He probed and pressured so I revealed the truth to him.

"You know I make a lot of charms and save it for my customer for future use. One of them is aphroditic love charm. Apart from me, only Oreo and Via know how to differentiate those charms because they always help me organize them in their certain places. Apparently, mom asked Via about it and Via secretly gave her one from my secret stock. They secretly placed that charm close to you and –" Well, you know what happened next.

Grrrgal fell silent for a while and nothing could be seen on his face. Is he happy or sad or angry or what; nothing could be seeb.

Then he suddenly stood up and looked at me with his sharp eyes again. "Do you feel guilty for it?"

And I answered automatically without even thinking. "Of course, I do."

"After all, there are better products with me, why use such simple charm? They should've asked me for it."

And when I looked at the transformation on his handsome face, I knew that first half of my answer was pleasing.

But the second half was –
