The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Somewhere on Earth,

A well-built man seemed to be walking casually to a designated point. Happiness filled the young man’s heart because what he was planning turned out to be running smoothly. In fact, his target has agreed to his wishes. He could not stop smiling when he thought about that moment. The lover’s beautiful face was always imaginable in his mind, so longing for the opposite sex reappeared.

I am so happy tonight and can’t wait to see my girlfriend immediately. At first, I thought she would reject my request, but it turned out that something unexpected happened, and I was able to introduce my special lady to my parents. They must be looking forward to seeing their future daughter-in-law, thought Armen.

“I do not believe that there is an immortal goddess who likes our son. It was all too good to be true,” said a fifty-four-year-old man. He was pacing back and forth with a deep sense of anxiety.

“Please do not say negative things, Honey. We must know the answer that will be given by Armen. If it turns out that the foreign girl actually wants to meet us, then that’s when we will know the truth.” The hazel-eyed woman rebutted her husband’s words. However, she said it gently so as not to cause anger from the other party.

“Ah! I am not sure if-”

Before the head of the family could continue his words, he heard footsteps coming from outside. As soon as possible, the husband and wife looked in that direction. They suddenly fell silent as if the sound had hypnotized them both. Meanwhile, there was a pair of eyes that had been watching the conversation that was going on between Lebrazht Lugthna and Norah Bitnantzh in silence. That person seemed to be deliberately hiding in another area, which was not exposed to the light from the torches.

A few moments later, a brown-haired guy arrived in front of his desired location. Without hesitation, he knocked on the door several times. That young guy kept smiling because he remembered meeting his lover, who had made him happy. In less than a minute, the door was opened. A slender woman had appeared there. Such a moment was realized by Armen, and he did not cover up the joy he had been feeling.

“Why are you just standing there? Come in!” Norah was confused by the attitude of the eldest son. However, she seemed to have guessed what the handsome young man would say, but the blonde woman allowed her son to say it directly.

“Yes, Mom.” Armen followed his mother’s words. He was still smiling, though not as wide as before.

The strong-jawed man, without further ado, entered the house. Meanwhile, the hazel-eyed woman quickly closed the door. After finishing, Norah turned around and then stepped back towards the living room. The head of the family was still in the same area, and the crooked-nosed man could see the presence of the person he had been waiting for. When he found out that his wife was already sitting beside him, Lebrazht said to his first son, “Sit down here, Armen.”

“Yes, Dad.”

Armen sat on a chair not far from there. The atmosphere was tense and awkward at the same time. That strong guy was lazy to open up the conversation first, so he deliberately kept silent, even though Goddess Atvertha’s lover knew what his parents wanted. “Why were you and that strange woman taking so long? Were you deliberately doing something outside of the norms of our tribe’s decency?” Lebrazht asked, full of suspicion.

“Me and Atvertha visited the Three-Colored Lake. What? Was I that depraved until Dad accuses me of being a pervert?” Armen replied, offended. He did not accept the bad prejudice raised by his father, so the young man felt he had the right to defend himself. The eldest son’s words irritated the middle-aged man.

“Why are you even angry? Both of you meet up every night without our knowledge, so do not blame me for having a bad opinion about what you and that girl do outside of this house!” The silver-haired man still denied what Armen had said, so that young man was immediately furious. However, Armen still refrained from hitting his father, who had said too much to him.

“Darling. Stop it,” said Norah, interceding.

Norah really did not like the commotion started by her husband. Lebrazht snorted spontaneously because his wife reprimanded him, but he chose to obey the words of the opposite sex. Norah turned her attention to Armen after the pointed-nosed woman saw that her spouse did not say anything. “My Son, how was your meeting with Atvertha?”

That young guy smiled. He did not cover up the happiness that had been lost because of his father’s hurtful behaviour. Meanwhile, Norah and Lebrazht already want to know Armen’s answer. “Our meeting went very well, Mom. I have conveyed to her, if I wanted to introduce her to my mom and dad and she agreed it.”

The husband and wife were shocked, as was a young man who had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the dark. They did not seem to believe the information conveyed by this charismatic man. The atmosphere became quiet, and this situation was profitable for Armen because he was happy to silence his biological father’s evil comments about Goddess Atvertha.

After a moment of silence, Lebrazht turned his head to Norah. The opposite sex seemed to understand what the husband wanted to convey, so he nodded. Meanwhile, Armen was just observing the parents’ behaviour, not intending to start a conversation. As soon as possible, the fifty-two-year-old woman started a conversation that had ended. “Son, are… are you sure that the Moon Goddess really wants to meet and get acquainted with us? You were not kidding us, were not you?”

“No, Mom. I was neither kidding nor joking to you. She definitely said that, so later Mom and Dad can get to know each other in person and know who Atvertha is.” Armen said earnestly. The young man looked happy and proud at the same time because, sooner or later, his parents could prove that he had never lied about his immortal goddess girlfriend.

“We are not going to believe that easily, Armen. You must have lied to us.” This time, the man who did have a facial resemblance to his son denied these words. He still did not want to accept the fact that a woman who had been in a special relationship with Armen voluntarily wanted a meeting with them.

“It does not matter if you do not believe me, Dad. Both of you who asked my special lady to came here and, at the same time wanted to get to know her, and I have done that. Atvertha must have kept the promise she had made.” Armen did not want to bother with the words of denial from his father, so the hazel-eyed man was silent again. The young man who refused to be betrothed to Atlanta kept trying to pay attention to his parents and was confused about what they wanted.

“Mom, Dad. I understand if you feel strange, hearing that an ordinary human like me even has a relationship with an immortal goddess. I will prove to you that she is a good girl. She is not only good, but also an extraordinary girl. normal. You will love her.” A thirty-five-year-old man tried to convince his family about his lovely girl. However, Chief Agbazarth suddenly shook his head because he did not accept the interlocutor’s persuasive words.

“Have you never thought that the immortal gods and goddesses must already have a partner? They could just cheat and leave you like that!”

Armen could not take this any longer. He stood up from the chair without further ado, which surprised his parents. “Dad, can you please stop being ignorant? I am fed up with your words which are always negative. I have kept my promise. Now, you have to fulfill your promise. Atvertha will come, and you must welcome her well. Thank you, and good night.”

When he finished speaking his heart out, the man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimetres tall, left the living room area as soon as possible. Armen did not care about anything else at the moment because everything that his biological father revealed really hurt him.

I realize that Atvertha and I came from different worlds, but I can’t accept any humiliating words or acts which came from my parents. She was the one who had saved me from death and asked nothing in return, so there was no reason for my parents to refuse my girl’s presence in this house, thought Armen as he walked towards the room.
