ASMARADANA CROWN PRINCESS

Season 2's. Chapter 13

Dalilahs.

...Get late if you're tired....

...If it has to happen, it happens....

...God's scenario has been set....

...***...

I looked at the red sky above the roof top of a hotel after filling out today's seminar.

It's been half a year since this relationship went on without any clear certainty, even though I occasionally visit her house.

Be honest. I'm shy. I forced a man to marry me.

My eyes hurt because of tears. This relationship is just a minefield of unspoken words and unambiguously revealed secrets.

"Be alone again?"

I'm turning. Pandu smiled widely.

"Think about?"

I tucked my hand into my pocket and lifted my chin, staring at the increasingly red sky.

"What about your starter?"

"I'm not a wise fortune teller!" Pandu chuckles amusedly.

"Not to think about it! The man holds fast, and if he is faithful he will keep his promise!" continue Pandu.

Nowadays, Pandu is wiser in understanding the situation around him. Including my love story that is still gray.

"What about your college? Smoothly?" my many.

The guide was self-deployed, no matter what was laughed at by him, he must have his own vision. Strange branches that sometimes make me amazed.

"I'm confused, Ma'am! Between going seriously to college or wanting to see the girls on campus!" his answer was full of jokes, but his eyes were sharp and serious.

I looked around, followed her gaze, tried to see whatever she saw.

Only the roofs of the house and the cable is complicated. Like this reality. My thread unraveled, wrapped around, tangled and dangled, almost breaking up in a hit by misunderstanding.

Little smiling guide. "Mas and Mbak have made Mother and Father restless! If I go along, will Father be able to calm down through his old age?"

"Well, you'll be calm if you see your kids happy!" defensively answer.

"Mbak is easier, but Surya mas! There are new things I know about love! That makes anyone crazy!"

I laughed, sounding so funny and slinky.

"You know that already? That's how love works. Blind the visible, and explain the dark!"

Pandu nodded in agreement.

"But everyone deserves to fall in love, because there is more to goodness than the love we have for someone! And kindness is universal!" I continued while patting her shoulder.

Pandu. "Go home! Sadewa's family will be coming home to enjoy the winter holidays here!"

I snorted in annoyance. This month is indeed the beginning of winter in Melbourne, and winter break slalu become their annual schedule to meet with relatives.

"I know Arkananta likes you, Ma'am!" Pandu. "Bakal becomes a fratricidal war if this happens!" guess it

I was breathing rough. "And I won't let that happen!"

***

I woke up to the constant knocking on the door to disturb my dreams that instantly disappeared without an impression.

"Come on.., it's still dawn!" I muttered lazily and closed the alarm clock.

A knock on the door again sounded as I fixed the blanket harshly.

"Yes... Yeah..." I relented to open the door for this uninvited guest.

"Morning.. princess!" Arkananta smiled widely, he carried a birthday cake with a candlelight glow that swayed in the morning breeze above him.

I leaned against the door frame while sighing "Must be this early?"

This drowsiness is still holding me back from lazing around. While my own cousin was too excited to celebrate my twenty-fiveth birthday party.

"We celebrated together seven years ago, Ma'am!"

Phew...

"But not this early too, Arka! It's still too early, and Saturday is a free day for me! You're a nuisance, really!"

I closed my eyes. If she doesn't like me, I'll definitely be happy to celebrate this birthday with her. And reality really troubling my mind.

Half a year he kept sending messages-longs, and made me feel sad.

"okay... I'm sorry! But make a wish first and eat my cake!" call Arka, knowing the water my face does not like.

I rubbed my face. Not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward I looked at him from behind my sleepy eyes. "Fine! But let me take a shower first and pray! Wait for me in the family room."

Arkananta nodded, he kept bringing the cake he had brought to the living room and waited for me for thirty minutes.

"Sorry for a long time." I said hello while tying my hair. Arkananta cleared his throat while looking at me fixedly.

I understand the meaning of his eyes. "Where's your brother?" I try to shift the subject.

Arkananta clucked in annoyance, he shifted my birthday cake in front of me.

"I have to wait for winter break just to meet you, can make the next week happen mediocre! Don't move!"

I clenched my hands together and closed.

Oh Allah Gusti, if Revi is my soul mate. Find us immediately in front of the penghulu. So that I don't have to bother making excuses to reject Arka.

I accepted my prayer before blowing out twenty-five small candles. The smoke swirled and disappeared.

"Thank you!" I said, complete with a sincere smile for him.

Arka cleared her throat while leaning her back on the back of the chair. He folded his hands and looked at me sharply. Assessing.

"Why?"

"Pakde really made him an adopted son?"

"Bimo?"

Arka nodded while breathing out.

"Yup! Automatic Bimo also becomes your brother, he's our oldest brother! Don't make trouble with him!" I said warning him.

"I hope he's not your lover!" cetus direct.

I put my index finger in front of my mouth. "Honor whatever Father decides! You also... Go home and don't make trouble!" I warned him again.

Arka sighing. "Take me for a walk! I miss the tropical sun of this city!" the door with maksa.

"You should visit Nakula, and go with your other twin sisters!" I said a little hard.

Arkananta. "Easy for you, not necessarily easy for me, Ma'am!"

"Fine, after breakfast!" said relented.

I have a party tonight, a weekly night. It could be messed up if this Javanese-Australian bulge still bothers me.

***

I knocked on Ayahanda's study before opening it.

"What's up, Lilah?" asked Ayahanda, taking her eyes off the thick books in front of her.

I spread both my hands. "Hugs!"

Ayahanda glanced at me briefly before moving from her seat of greatness.

He hugged me, a soothing warm hug.

"Happy birthday my sweet boy!" Ayahanda peeked at the top of my head. "May your wish be granted by the owner of the universe!"

"What about Ayahanda? Do you agree with my choice?" ask me while looking up. "Ayahanda knows what's best for me, and I'm also waiting for the blessing of Ayahanda!"

Father smiled warmly, stroking my hair lovingly.

"Yahanda is just waiting for your chosen man to come, ask for you, and promise to replace the role of Ayahanda well! After that, get married."

I pursed my lips. "Yahanda is too perfect for a man who wants to raise a sister!" I said desperate.

Ayahanda smiled widely. "Half more years! Ayahanda promised not to let out the chosen man of Ayahanda! But if he does not come, be prepared to accept the match that Father has prepared for you!"

I'm nodding. Really hope mas Revi holds firm his stance. Marry me in half a year.

I kissed the back of Father's hand. "Let's go first, Ayahanda. Arkananta is really dizzying!" I said while shaking.

"Be careful! You've sacrificed your bike, this time don't let your car just get into the magic temple!"

I laughed while waving my hand. "Love you, daddy!"

Ayahanda smelled a smile. "Close door!"

I closed the door slowly, before looking inside again. "Thank you, Daddy!"

Half a year... I clenched my hands full of determination before taking Arkananta for a walk around the city.

...Happy Reading's...
