Revi.
Afraid I looked up at the King. He showed me a terrible smile.
"Rilex, boy. Mommy is there for you." said mommy casually, while covering my shoulder, "I'm sorry my son to the king. This one month was not an easy day for him."
The king nodded, "Sit down. I'm waiting for this meeting to return."
Mommy nodded, "There's been a lot of change going on over these seventeen years. You're a little older than I last saw." Mommy smiled after we sat down.
The king smiled faintly, while looking at mommy, "So do you, Madam. It seems it's not appropriate for me to call you mommy."
Mommy chuckled to herself, she stroked my cheek slowly. "You still remember it! She was the fetus I conceived while searching for information about Lastri's mother. He grew into a man who loved the fruit of your love. Now I'm sure, it's only God's way that brings us back together."
It was hard for me to hold my hand to not scratch my head which was so itchy from confusion.
Gee whiz... What talk is this! Why is it that only my face looks confused here, while everyone is smiling sweetly at me. Including Prince. I'm sure he'll make this as an idea to tease me later.
"Sorry, why?" ask everyone who is here. Mother smiled kindly while asking for permission to meet the princess in her room.
"The incessant! Clever as his mother, just a little cunning the same as he did during this one month" said the king, accompanied by a slanted smile that made my brain not work perfectly. I'm dazed.
I look at mommy, he just chuckles amusedly when staring at my face like electric shock.
"Whatever you've done for the princess during this one month, your king knows."
The king smiled and nodded. Then, my thoughts drifted to the contents of the letter I wrote to the princess.
What lie shall I tell the king again. I managed to lose again.
"I don't forbid it, because I know. Falling in love is not wrong, but for Lilah my daughter. Falling in love made him a little more rebellious against royal rule. Sorry, courting my daughter does need extra patience. It's not enough just love, chocolate, letters or seduction."
I must blame the world now. Or, God's destiny as mommy said it was. Loving princesses is patience. And I can't wait to face this mess of love.
"First love... Slalu is beautiful but will also hurt. Moreover, you are still in High School. Mommy sure, tomorrow when you graduate high school, Rev. Lilah will update the status of gini, 'Go love, pursue your wishes. While there is still time. Don't mind me.
I'm willing to split up for you
May all your wishes be achieved'." said mommy while humming.
Everyone chuckles little hearing mommy humming. As if, those-adults also experienced themselves during school.
"That's a big deal, Mom, that song. Each dropped out because they graduated from school. That must be what was singing. Chrisye is top!" timpal Prince's.
Ckck... The voice of Prince came out too. I thought he would just shut up for fear of misbehavior.
"Maybe it could be an idea for you to write a song about your breakup at school, Prince."
Prince smiled and nodded, "Try it later, Mom, if Revi confides!"
Mommy nudged Prince's ear, "Good prayer for your sister!"
Prince chuckled slightly, "Usually from confiding to song, Mom!"
I snorted in annoyance as I stomped my feet many times, agitated. She had twice drunk the sweet tea that the king had provided, but the princess did not come. Mana groggy makes my stomach crunchy. I have the lyrics on my left wrist.
"A little while." My inner.
Huh... I took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "Is the princess still dancing and the king's father?" ask directly.
"Yes..."
Time goes slowly accompanied by long conversations of parents. Without fully realizing it, my pair of eyes rose upwards which instantly made me make an asymmetrical smile.
Oh, dearGod. My boyfriend lowered his head shyly while blushing. I stood up and called him.
My eyes met her for a moment as she answered my call. Shy eyes that make me happy to see her again. I have been waiting for this meeting for a long time, but this time it is not right to say long when the king's majesty beats as if it were a warning tone.
I smiled wryly. True too, especially this in front of all other family members. There's no way I'm hugging the princess here.
Daddy smiled wryly as I sat back down and looked at the princess who just lowered her head without much noise.
This is not a dream, let alone a tragedy. This is just the first meeting after a month of princess pingit. It all felt awkward even though I knew we had a burning longing in our hearts.
The king said after talking to mommy. Yeah, God. Why is my mother not afraid at all with the king's majesty, mommy said as with his close friends only.
"Just look in the eye for five minutes!"
I was stunned in my seat. Five minutes to look at! Looks like the king is joking. But no! The king is really serious only give five minutes to complete this longing. It's really a crazy condition.
Princess did not stay silent, she immediately asked me to look at her.
"Gear me Revi. Look at me while Revi can look at me clearly. Because I don't know what else to do after today."
But why princess? But why do I feel it's a hunch sentence, like something you're saying and it makes me have to reach out for myself to the meaning of that sentence.
I was across the table. Staring at his eyes in a silent daze. The deeper I looked at him, the more I fell into the brown net which slowly crept and turned its face away.
A sweet smile rose in his lips that accidentally bitten a little bit of his bottom, making me even more anxious with him.
I looked down while holding back a laugh.
Severer. I miss him even more. But whatever my day, my hand cannot reach it. And, I regret yesterday not returning his embrace and stroking his back.
"It's time for dinner. Come, I'd be very happy if you guys would finish all the food the waiter served." Mother smiled after speaking softly, as if understanding all the messed up by the gaze earlier. Like a storm of longing in my mind again.
"It must be spent! Otherwise I won't let you guys get out of my palace!" Threaten the king, "Follow us." His order.
My family stood up after the king's family first walked towards the dining room.
I looked at the princess's back. Her long hair, swaying following her footsteps.
He is different, said the king. Princess preening. Her lips are getting rancid, blushing. Ah... I'll wait until he's perfect. The flowers will be more beautiful and fragrant. However, it will also be difficult to maintain it. Because the flower is sure to be a lot of people who want it. Have and want to take care of it. And, that flower is my own lover.
But it was true my parents said earlier. In over a year and a half I graduated from High School. I will choose a university to realize my ideals. Either abroad or domestically. I don't know yet.
I was immediately confused, would Lilah and I have to fight over the matter as well?
Is this as complicated as young love?
