ASMARADANA CROWN PRINCESS

Chapter 45.

Dalilahs.

This morning cold air pierced my nose as I opened my bedroom window, tiny specks of rain pouring down the leaves and earth.

The flowers growing in the garden look fresh and sway in the inevitable heavy rain.

I'm down. I saw the school uniform I had been wearing since.

For a moment I hesitated to go back to school, even though I had all prepared since last night. Since Revi came home from my house and said that this morning he would take me to breakfast together in one of the places we often go together. But why did it feel like I was reluctant to move a little from my room after I read all the gossip news circulating on social media.

"Mr..."

I'm turning. I saw Mother carrying a small cloth shopping bag.

"Supply for later at school" said Mother while lifting it up, then put it next to my school bag.

I sighed, I took my phone from my school skirt bag.

"Let's not use hp first, Bun." said I while putting my cellphone into the hands of Mother.

Mother scrunched her forehead, then confused Mother flipped my phone.

"Have broken? Or change to the latest model?" mother asked while looking at me with a confused face.

"There are some who disturb Lilah's mind. Um... It's better that Lilah doesn't use her phone first!" I said melas.

Really the words of the most righteous netizens cornered me, they were evil with words that hurt me so sadistically. But that is only natural and understandable. Even if I may say, there is a Ningrat who has tattoos, piercing, and other scandals that are not exposed like my incident. That's how it's been so horrendous.

"That's why Ayahanda confiscated your phone. Because Father will not give you any more burden that will make you sad because of the news!" Mother stroked my hair, "That's why Father also asked Bimo to take care of you at school." Mother smiled softly.

I hugged my mother.

"Lilah be afraid, Bun." I said with trembling lips.

My mother stroked my back, until my back felt warm because of it.

"There is a Bimo mas who keeps Mbak Lilah at school. There's Revi too. Don't be afraid, it's okay."

I nodded small and Mother took off her embrace. But my heart was still beating fast which made me anxious.

"Today is special for Mbak Lilah because of the father who will take Mbak school."

Mother took my bag, put it on my back.

"Just consider Ma'am as a new student who has not known friends at school." My mother smiled again and again...

I smiled as Mother blinked her eyes.

I fumbled my pocket, felt deflated, "Mother... The pocket money is not yet!" I said grimacing.

"Ask the Father!" My mother showed me the phone she put on the desk, "Are you sure you didn't bring it to school?"

I shook my head while smiling stiffly, "Just a moment!" I took my phone and sent a message to Revi. I also returned her love to me last night.

Me too mas Revi's. Lilah is in school.

I nodded steadily. I put my phone and replaced it with my lunch.

"Lilah's ready, Bun!" doggku.

My mother grabbed my shoulders and we both smiled as we walked to the car park.

I don't want much today. I just want to go back to school, enjoy those days. Times that never happen again in my life.

"It seems you deserve to be brother and sister like this."

"What's the princess?" ask Ayahanda confused.

"My best father!" direct saying.

Ayahanda peeked at the top of my head.

Suryawijaya who was behind Ayahanda hissed and said with judes, "One time a mistake can be forgiven. Twice a mistake is a deliberate khilaf!"

I looked up at Ayahanda with those spoiled pity eyes that I deliberately made up.

"Lilah has promised, but I have to give some relief to a teenager like Lilah." I told Ayahanda.

Father nodded, "Ayahanda believes Mbak Lilah can hold the promise that Mbak Lilah has said." My father pinched my nose, so that it would rise he said. I nodded, and we walked to the car park.

After saying goodbye to my mother.

The car slowly moved out of the palace and darted under the rain that was still falling rapidly.

***

I stomped my feet many times as the car was almost inside the school parking area.

My hands were soaked with cold sweat. Many times I have breathed and tried to neutralize my heartbeat. I was really worried this morning.

And Ayahanda realized it. He parked his car in the school parking lot, then removed his seatbelt.

A sweet smile she gave as if it could strengthen my heart.

"No matter what happened to you, you still perfect to me my princess. Be strong like your mother!" My father slipped my son's hair behind his ear while smiling constantly.

I'm still worried. I looked out the car window. Many students are already in the school, Bimo was already standing in the school corridor. Just keep staring at this car.

"Is Bimo reliable?" many doubt.

I shrugged my shoulders, "Can. Work well with him. Because if you make a mistake again, Bimo will also be the father of the law!"

I nodded, then remembered the pocket money that Father had not given.

My hands looked up, grinning widely.

"Don't hesitate to ask Bimo for help. If no one picks up Mbak Lilah later, surely Mbak Lilah must go home with Bimo! That's his job too!" said Ayahanda.

I immediately widened my eyes and squeezed out the fifty thousand that Father had given me.

"When you go home with Revi?" ask me with a bad tone.

"No problem, as long as Revi want to be followed by mas Bimo! Hehe..." The father laughed crisply and it sounded annoying. But I haven't heard Ayahanda's laughter in a long time.

I grunt. Then, I kissed the back of Father's hand.

"Be careful Father. The road is slippery. Don't speed it up!" Ayahanda shook her head with a smile that was still visible on her face.

I breathed before opening the car door. Maybe true said Mother, today I will be a new student who pretends not to know anyone here. Only the teachers I respect and the Revi mas I care about. So does the bodyguard I have.

And, as I opened the car door wide and lowered my left foot. An umbrella protected me from raindrops.

I looked up, a friendly smile made me almost faint from it. Since when did he have such a deathly smile. It is a miracle that God created this one. Can jutek, can be friendly, can bwelin, can make melting. Ah... Bimo. Why should you be my bodyguard. Ayahanda is indeed the top, which is how I like it rather than being followed by an old courtier. Hihah...

"Whose umbrella?" I was surprised after the two of us walked quickly towards the school corridor as the rain grew heavier. He was still standing like a housekeeper.

"Gram!" he answered briefly while giving me a tissue to wipe my wet shoes. I frowned, since when did he bring tissue to school. Guys again, what try.
