Can I See You Again

The beginning of my story and Jun

The breeze gently blows accompany the people who are farming. Holding hope in those weak stalks that had just soared, the starving people gathered under the shade of the sky.

“If we fail the harvest, this is all a curse of the heavens. Over the years of crop failure, more and more people have died of starvation here. We're just waiting for a turn,” a farmer opens his voice.

Poor people, poor people,

“The land we cultivate belongs to the nobility, but the ones paying taxes are the weak ones as well. I can't even buy rice,” added the other farmer while wiping off the sweat.

They can't do anything.

“We can't do anything. For a long time, the government system was burdensome to the people. Never mind, if anyone hears this, we can be cut off".

They are innocent, though,  

The farmers continued to do their work.

“All this is the curse that the Crown Prince brought. Didn't you guys hear that rumor?”.

They just don't know.

The farmers looked at each other. They are close to each other.

“Crown Prince, born on stormy night when almost half of the people died. She said she had a skin disease that required her to wear a face mask at all times. Many say she never even studied, denied the king's orders, never smiled, almost all her ladies were fired and beheaded. Not even long ago, there was a patch that yesterday was pulled by the palace guards, about the bad prophecy that will befall the country for its birth". 

The farmers who heard that were shocked.

“How can, the king maintain the position of Crown Prince? Didn't he have two other sons? Poor other princes, must have suffered greatly. This country, should not be led by such a person, the sky will curse us,” added another farmer.

Jun who heard the conversation then came to them.

“Sorry, I think you should be careful talking about the kingdom, it is very sensitive,” said Jun who was also farming at the time.

Suddenly, some of the prime minister's men came to pick up Jun who was at work. In order to dispel the suspicions of the people who looked surprised because Jun was called “Muda” Master by those people, Jun immediately rushed over from the place.

The people then whispered and began to guess about who Jun really was.

“Is he a member of the royal family? What have we talked about earlier in front of him, how is this?”.

The people were worried and surprised.

Some time later Jun arrives at Prime Minister Han's house. He was warmly welcomed in the father's house by all subordinates and workers there. 

Just then, Jun faced the father respectfully. He leaned over and sat cross-legged in front of his father well.

“I asked you not to pick me up. I was at work, and it was very disturbing,” Jun started talking.

The father smiled.

“You never want to come, so picking you up is the only solution,” said the father.

Jun did not give any response.

“I'm so happy, you came to the palace bringing pride to me”. 

The prime minister poured tea for his son.

“How do you work as a teacher in the education bureau?”.

Jun drank the tea and smiled at his father.

“Don't I tell you, I came to the palace for my mother, not for you". 

The prime minister who was watching his son's clothes laughed at the child's reply.

“Hahaha! You're so funny, so loud as your mother. Look at how you look, you're the son of a prime minister, but look, your clothes are no different from commoners. I asked you to stay with me, but you refused. You chose to live with your stubborn mother".

The prime minister drank his warm drink.

“After all, you're the one who dumped me. But mother, she took pains to support me. So if I'd rather be with her, it's none of your business".

At that time, the prime minister's daughter came to the father to bring snacks. He was surprised to see his brother there.

“Kak Jun?” sapana.

Jun only smiled at the younger brother, immediately he threw away his face. The confused sister, immediately left them.

“See your sister, she's very obedient to me. His life is happy because of that,” quipped the prime minister.

“You sure? Oh yeah, he's not my sister. We were born from different mothers. And to me, you're no longer my father, so there's no need to invite me to a meal or anything like that to this house anymore. I will not come,” Jun smiled bowing respectfully to his father.

He rushed out of the father's house. Meanwhile, the prime minister just kept laughing.

“Hard-headed son,” his bell.

**

Jun who was walking towards the mother's house suddenly ran because of heavy rain. However, just then he saw a girl who was calmly standing still in the midst of the torrential rain. 

I cry under the rain..

He walked slowly towards the girl, and realized that the girl was Youra. Youra who was closing her eyes was very surprised.

My crying heart whimpers screaming…

Jun came swiftly covering the head of the girl with his robe.

Looking at him, everything felt light and happy.

I see that happiness in plain sight.

Jun brought Youra to shelter under an uninhabited old hut. Youra who was silent just continued to be silent was unable to twitch. 

Jun approached her. Youra who did not look at him at all as if scared and retreated slowly in her arms with Jun steps at him. Jun laughing.

“Hey, it seems, we are indeed destined to meet, huh?”. 

Destiny said..

Youra just shut up. He occasionally glanced into the empty hut. Jun who realized that finally understood the reason for Youra's extremely awkward attitude.

“Heheh. Relax, I'm not a pervert. It's the closest place to shelter. I could have been hit by your brother if I got to fuck”. 

Does he know about me?

Jun approached, took his robe that covered Youra's head, and put it on Youra's body.

“Tetap warm. So as not to hurt,” Jun smiled. He turned his gaze on the rain.

The awkward Youa, glanced at Jun's face.

Why, heart?

The conscious Jun was being stared back at that sight.

“What's up? Is there something on my face?”.

Besides beauty, I saw nothing.

Youra turned her gaze to the overcast sky. Slowly she lifted her dress about to leave Jun, but her steps came to a halt as a considerable lightning bolt shocked her.

Jun chuckled.

“Sit for a while while waiting for the rain to subside".

Jun cleaned the tile of the hut for Youra to sit down. The awkward Youa, then sat down next to Jun. 

The silence they passed fell after Youra started asking.

“Where does Mr Honey know, I'm the daughter of a country advisor?” ask Youra.

Jun fixated, blinked his eyes occasionally, then turned to him. He seemed confused as to what to answer.

“I am a teacher at the same education bureau as you, of course I know".

Youra who heard Jun's reply looked disappointed.

“If I may know, why do you and your brother have to hide?” ask Jun.

“My brother, he asked me not to go to the village anymore. Please, don't say this to anyone yes Young Master,” pinta Youra.

Jun smiled.

“It won't, if you answer my question honestly,” replied Jun.

Youra who was then reluctant to speak, became open looking at Jun's smile to him.

“Dad and my mother were killed by masked men. Brother asked me not to return to the village because he was afraid that someone was after us because I made us almost get caught at that time,” replied Youra.

“Sister, he does as he pleases. He's out as he pleases. But, he tied me up and did not allow me to play away from where we live now,” added Youra who bowed sadly.

“You went to the village, for missing your father and mother?” ask Jun.

Youra who heard that his face was sad, but he tried hard.

“Yes. I miss them so much,” replied Youra.

“Is that why you play rain?” ask Jun back.

“Sorry Young Master, I don't think it's any of your business. I, I play rain because I want to. I was very upset at my brother,” Youra denied.

Jun looked at her, shifting slightly towards her face. Youra looked almost lost consciousness, her heart was pounding, making her impatient to leave immediately.

“Sorry Young Master, I think the rain has subsided, I say goodbye first,” Youra quickly rushed to leave Jun, because it was awkward.

However, just as he was about to step away, he finally stopped. He looked at Jun once more.

Actually, I don't want to go fast, but, since I don't want to look bad in her eyes, I have to leave as soon as possible.

“Thank you Young Master".

Yet, still. I turned to him again.

Jun gave his right hand to Youra. Stalling him, hoping that Youra would repay him.

“Don't call me Young Master again. I'm Jun, I'm just a commoner. What's your name?”.

That's when,

“Youra,” reply welcome Jun happy hands.

My love story and Jun, start talking.
