After Rain's
Episode 21: A Promise to Be Done
Chatting with other humans but his brain is torn between the current reality and also the things he thinks he should not think about. Starting from the first time he met the haughty Victoria and also the confident Sirius.
Just after he left Saga and Victoria, someone was staring at him hidden behind a pillar of the Cathedral Church. When he reached the place he planned to leave the Cathedral Church, someone's hand pulled his body and made the sight of each eye meet again.
It was not the first time we had such a close distance, just from the look in his eyes there was something he seemed to want to reveal.
Who else if not Sirius who somehow he could be present at this Royal Wedding event. He is just a businessman who happens to own a big company and also happens to be young and quite well known to many people.
“Quila, do you know Sirius?” Ask Polaris suddenly. Aquila seemed uncomfortable or rather surprised Polaris asked that.
“Ah.. yes of course.”
“He's a potential fiancee of Aquila, if you're curious,” Alhena answers Polaris questions.
Seen Aquila rather hesitant to answer it, “if so, why want to cover?” Polaris is a bit sarcastic.
“It's not so, it's just too soon to conclude he is my future fiancee,” said Aquila rather clumsy and misbehaved.
Alhena looks excited, “she is famous, I mean if you are close to Sirius you will be included in the internet search list.”
Polaris nodded in agreement, “of course. No one does not know him,” Polaris smiles while staring at Aquila but Aquila like avoiding eye contact with Polaris.
“If you're like this, I'd think you're hiding something,” he said then sipped his wine.
Aquila was surprised, “are you getting drunk? It's just wine,” Alhena told Aquila.
Aquila shook her head, “no, I'm not drunk,” she said with a smile.
“Don't look at him like that. Your gaze will pierce the eyeballs of the people in front of you,” Alhena said with a laugh.
“Polaris, do you really not like that woman that much?” alhena added while giving eye code to Navier who was chatting with her brother, Christ.
Polaris wiggles her wine glass and sips its aroma, “I don't like fragile people. See how he behaved yesterday? There was no visible power within him. If he feels that being arrogant is a bulwark of his self then be arrogant. Not putting on a fake face like yesterday.”
Alhena and Aquila gap on hearing Polaris' explanation, “was he forced to marry Nath?” Ask Aquila to Polaris.
“Are you not looking for information who was previously a candidate for Crown Princess before her?” Polaris asked Alhena and Aquila.
Alhena sniffed her shoulder the sign “not” and so did Aquila, you don't know if the woman has been designated as a candidate for Crown Princess since she was five years old? I heard mama talking to the Queen some time ago.”
“Then?” Ask Polaris curiously.
“Yah's.. The Queen chose several other candidates but eventually the woman was chosen and with her mother, the Queen ushered in some of the gifts of the time for their families. The family of the Crown Princess candidate gets business help by the palace family?” alhena.
“Did El Nath not have a lover before? Why would she marry that woman?” Ask Aquila to Polaris.
Polaris seems to be thinking about what Aquila said, why he did not wonder why El Nath was willing to marry Navier. He had been focusing only on the traditions of the palace family but if El Nath had a better candidate why not choose that candidate.
What a true estimate of the drama would be if El Nath was in a relationship with an ordinary woman and didn't have the chance to be with her so she chose to carry on the tradition.
“What? Me? What don't I know?”
“I saw El Nath dating papa's private flight attendant, Adelaide. I saw her a couple of times, because Adelaide didn't just fly by papa sometimes with my mom and we happened to be on a flight. So I got him cornered and confessed. But you guys know?” alhena's words hung and it seemed like she deliberately wanted to make Polaris and Aquila curious.
“El Nath admitted it.” Answer Aquila.
“Quickly once.” Alhena's proud.
“He's like a real man. But it's a pity they don't have a future in their relationship.” Aquila.
Suddenly Polaris' phone shook after he saw an unidentified number calling him three times, twice missed. An unfamiliar number he then remembered that some time ago on the pillar of the Cathedral Church, Sirius insisted on asking for his number.
Polaris might not have given it but Aquila was suddenly spotted near them. In order for Aquila not to see Polaris, she quickly wrote down her number on Sirius' phone directly and immediately moved from that place.
Polaris needs to know more about who Sirius really is and if Aquila sees him being with Sirius and knows each other it is not impossible that Aquila will ask her uncle to accelerate her engagement to Sirius.
Polaris thought that if Sirius was really a very profitable man, he would not let Aquila have him. But what if Sirius makes Aquila suspicious for asking about Polaris and Aquila's relationship. But it's impossible, if it happens, for sure Aquila and Alhena will act suspicious to hide Sirius's cause.
“I picked up the phone first,” said Polaris.
“Oh okay,” says Alhena.
“Can I go to Royal Hotel later in the afternoon?” the voice said across when Polaris just pressed the green button.
“What?” the sound is not so clear not because there is no signal just his phone just landed on his ear when the voice on the phone said the word “sore.”
“You don't recognize me? I thought you were smart.” The voice across the board belittles making it in On mode for a lengthy lecture. Not yet had he issued the words, “.. come to Royal Hotel later afternoon.”.
“What right do you dare to tell me, Master?” polaris' voice sounded firm.
“You're not *mau? Want me to pick you up? Okay, no problem. Later five in the afternoon*.” The voice called as if he had access to and out of this palace and as if he were the one who would be accepted into it easily if he set foot in the palace.
“Who are you Sir Sirius?” Polaris asked in a cold tone.
“I? Your cousin's fiancee. Didn't you know that?”
“If you are Aquila's fiancee, why are you still approaching me?” shout Polaris. He was already very upset with the attitude of Sirius who would play tricks on him telling him to come and go as he pleased.
“Come to Royal Hotel at five. If you want to come, send me a four o'clock message. And don't forget to save my number. Okay!!”
Tuuttt…
Unilaterally disconnected calls by Sirius, “arrrggghhh…. Basic people are insane!” he almost wanted to slam his phone but suddenly he remembered this phone that bought him was Sirius.
“Sial.. why he should be annoying,” murmured.
“Who sucks?” Polaris was surprised a voice suddenly appeared in his hearing room.
