MR. AND MRS. HAMLET

Kris head back to his house. With the servants immediately greeted him, he just walk pass through them without taking a single glance. He went straight to the dinning room where his mother- a legendary superstar since from back her age and his father- a multi billionaire and CEO with a total of 15 companies he handled out and inside the city of Meyhem. His mother is currently drinking her tea leisurely with a pair of mocha cream cake. She was already at her 40s but the beauty that she once have in her youth still visible in her features. Only a little bit of wrinkles on her forehead was added. She has the aura of gentleness and sweet. She always wear her infamous delicate smile with her perfectly shaped white teeth. But despite the tender personality she posses, she is a woman from under the ground. Behind all of those things, Mrs. Hamlet is someone whom not to be touched with. She is more terrifying than her husband. More aggressive that anyone else. More bloody that any of those murderers. Once she's at her point to kill no one except her husband can restrain her not even Kris. The glimmering name of Mrs. Hamlet lies on the river of blood. Though with the stain in her hands, she still remain shining in the pit of darkness. While her husband, Mr. Hamlet is just a simple man. Aside from handling companies, he is also the one who cleaned his wife's every mess. He didn't mind it though, as long as it doesn't affect her name, everything can be wipe out clean. He can tolerate his wife's bloody thirst. He can tolerate his wife's personality since not in their marriage life did his wife hurt him.

The servants inside the Hamlet mansion knows the family's personality, history, cruelty and murders but they still remain loyal to them. They still remain faithful despite the danger they always facing in. For them, this family is the only human who accepted them. The only human who reached their hands to help them. The only human who open their home for them. All the servants inside the mansion is either homeless, abandoned, orphans or even disabled in some of their body parts. And as a repayment, they offer their life from the gratitude they received.

Mr. Hamlet was reading the daily news paper, wearing a reading glass when he felt the presence of his son. He halted his reading for a second as he glance to his newly arrived child sitting in front-side of him

.

"You're back, where did you go late at night?" Mr. Hamlet asked as he continue reading the news. It is rare to his son to roam around the city at night. Usually Kris stays at home. Reading books, playing consoles, chatting online or just bothering some servants to ease his boredom but now he actually leave his nest and that surprise Mr. Hamlet. His son is acting different than his usual self.

Mrs. Hamlet didn't bother looking at his son, by just smelling it even by distance, she can tell where his son went. She continue eating her cakes as she listens to the father-son conversation.

"went for strolling" Kris replied.

The servants already prepared his dinner in advance and it is not a typical type of meal but different from what a normal human would eat. The servants serves his food- a palatable food in his eyes. It consist of well-cooked heart of a human sprinkled with parmesan cheese and top with bayleaf. His red wine was mixed with aphrodisiac. For a normal human, it might sound crazy. It might be some drug abuse. But for all those people living inside the mansion, they knows why Kris have to drink it, eat it. They know that Kris is not as normal as what the whole world expected him to be.

Mr. Hamlet took a peek to son. A questionable gaze fill his eyes. He glance to his wife to gather answers as he know that his wife could only respond h truthfully but to his surprised Mrs. Hamlet is just peacefully eating her dinner. Without a hope, since he can't disturb his eating wife, he glance back to his son as it started consuming his meal.

"To where?" Mr. Hamlet asked. The curiosity he have was now in the top of the line. As long as he didn't receive answers this instant, it will hunt him, it will bother him, it will creep him out.

"somewhere" Kris replied boredly as he keep eating his food in silence. He don't want to lie but he cannot tell them the truth. It will only attract their curiosity and that's what he's trying to avoid.

"there's something else in you" Everyone looked shock as they stared directly to Mrs. Hamlet. She actually talk? She talk even even though she still didn't finish her meal. One of Mrs. Hamlet's personality is not to talk in the dinning table. She will just sit and eat silently. Secretly observing her surroundings.

Although he didn't look up to his son while saying those remarks, they know that it was meant for Kris and they know that once the Queen talks, they shall wait for her permission to speak including Kris himself.

"Now speak. Answer your father honestly" Mrs. Hamlet said. Even with the voice of an angel, deep down to those who knows her well- she's using her authoritical voice. The silent threatening that no one will know unless she looked at into your eyes dauntingly.

"I... I went to meet some friends" Kris mumbled with a slight fear into his words. He is used to any terrible feelings around him but when it comes to his mother, he melted. He cannot disobey his mother. Not just because he respected her but because he avoided something that might happen if he provoke her.

"I see" Mr. Hamlet uttered. Though, he knows that his son lied, he cannot force him to speak even if he wanted to. It is enough for him that atleast there's some honest words hiding behind the word 'friends'.

The family continued consuming their dinner as silence invaded the whole room. With only the servants made constant faint noises coming out from the kitchen.

When they almost finished eating Mrs. Hamlet suddenly speak that causes Kris to choke from his food.

"when will you get married?" Mrs. Hamlet asked, staring at his chocking son. Kris immediately grab his glass oglf red wine as abruptly gulp it while patting out his chest. He didn't expect the sudden attack coming from his mother. Not even Mr. Hamlet as he look back and fort from his wife to his son.

"It's almost time, you know that right?" Mrs. Hamlet added.

Kris only nodded in response as he also don't how to stop his coming of age.

"I want you to get married before that day. You know what will happen if you cannot find a wife. Even with the help of aphrodisiac, it will no longer effect in your body once it comes out. Tell me if you cannot find one, I'll make arrangements for you" Mr. Hamlet said. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hamlet stared at their son, waiting for his response but they only received silence. Nothing comes out from Kris' mouth. Not even a single word.

"Son, I know it's hard but there's no other way out. If only I can carry your burden, I already did it long time ago but I just couldn't, so please. I don't want to see you suffer" Mrs. Hamlet mumbled, this time her voice is as soft as a cotton. So gently that it almost hide her true nature. Even her golden orb shows real affection of a mother.

"I know" Kris responded. The gloom in his voice is as almost breaking his heart. He couldn't look at his parents. He couldn't tell them the truth. He couldn't bare seeing them disappointed. He don't want them to get hurt. He knows that only finding a wife will solve their problem but he don't want to find one. He don't have the guts to replace the person he likes. The person he promise to marry in the future.

"I can hear it. If you have someone you like don't hesitate to tell us. Anything is possible as long as it will help you" Mrs. Hamlet said. Kris look at his mother with the eyes of hope and thanks. He couldn't lie to his mother even if he wanted to. Even with the silent treatment, he knows his mother already knows everything even before asking.

"I... I'll do my best to take back my wife" Kris replied. Mr. and Mrs. Hamlet only smiles in response, assuring Kris that everything is fine. Nothing in this family can't do. If money can solve everything, they don't mind spending millions or even billions just to for their son. While Kris thinks of a plan to cooed his ranging wife, his parents will help him in silence.
