EMPRESSES

Roses

Longing is funny and annoying, how can he be present at will without asking for readiness or taste it. Come as well as he wants, torture as he wants and continue to thrash to meet no matter the unrequited longing and believe it is more difficult. Missing me like a morning waiting for the sun on a dark night, no matter the distance, time and even the taste of the same. Yes, my miss will only be my own

If in the past there was a Juliet who was willing to die with her lover, now there is me who dissolves in my ignorance, lamenting the prose that I try to build myself and I am alone, indeed, I kept it alone!. Is not the destiny of pity on me who is still loyal to my race, does not destiny intend to side with me and make her glance a little at me

Sir, I'm in love! you've managed to control my heart with just the first time we met. My heart is too weak for your charm to be so strong that it can instantly create the sting of love. Sir, don't you have pity on my race that keeps waiting to be reciprocated but, I don't care whether it's reciprocated or unrequited my race will remain my race

This longing is present not because your shady face is not caught by the retina, not because of your melodious voice that does not vibrate the typhoid membrane, not also because your footsteps suddenly disappear. This longing is present because you have managed to bring a piece of my heart, because you have managed to wait for a space in my heart and you always managed to break my heart as well

Ilena sat pensively in her artificial mini-park staring at some butterflies flying around and around busy sucking on the sari of the blooming flowers. For a few days his heart was restless because he had not heard the news about Neron being so longed for

Ilena's servant simply picked up the classy lady of their mistress from a distance and was surprised by Neron's arrival from behind them "Your Majesty," respectfully. "Yes." Yeah." Neron smiled as he returned the greeting

Neron walked towards Ilena who was still cool in daydreaming while stroking her flat stomach "What are you doing?" ask Neron. Ilena's smile expanded so wide when she realized who was greeting "My noble honor," Ilena said with a smile

"I asked what are you doing here?" neron asked as he put his hand in his pants pocket

"Staying beauty," Ilena replied as she looked at Neron's face meaningfully

"I just found out, if there's a place like this in the palace" Neron said

"I asked for this place, Your Majesty. The queen mother was kind and granted my request," jawan Ilena

"Do you like ornamental plants?" ask Neron. Ilena smiled sweetly at the question, so glad to hear the talkative crown prince ask her that

"Yes, sir, I love ornamental plants" Ilena replied

"The rose is so beautiful" said Neron as he stared at one pot that housed a grove of roses

"Yes, but sometimes we forget his thorns. Roses are beautiful but they don't mean anything if there's no thorns." Ilena smiled as she looked at the rose

"Isn't the thorn very disturbing" said Neron. Ilena still smiled sweetly

"Yes.. Your Honor, many people say that thorns disturb and damage the beauty of roses. Though thorns are what make roses can be said to be roses, thorns are what make roses perfect." Ilena looked at Neron's face which looked very serious

"Waw," said Neron, trying to absorb every word that came out of the mouth of the mother-to-be of his son, "I never thought like that, I always hated his thorns" Neron continued

"That's how the world works, Your Majesty" said Ilena did not finish her sentence. Neron stared questioningly and kept thinking about what the woman wanted to say from each sentence

"How are you doing?" ask Neron

"I am good Your Majesty." Ilena really can't believe Neron asked her about the news, "Thank you."

"I'm leaving now," said Neron, beginning to step his foot away from the place. Ilena smiled as she looked at that increasingly distant back

"Madam, we have to go back to the room for lunch" the waiter told Ilena

"All right." Ilena immediately got up from her chair then slowly stepped towards her room

"Mrs want something for lunch?" ask waiter. Ilena smiled sweetly as she stroked the back of her servant "Anything.. You guys are good to me, thanks."

Arriving at her room Ilena sat on the chair that looked very soft. Ilena continued to smile considering the sweet treatment the man had taken. If it was not immediately aware of her, maybe Ilena had already scattered the man's hug

Ilena ate her lunch with a feeling of pleasure, either since her pregnancy her mood is so strange even sometimes Ilena confused herself with what happened to her

"Sister," called Princess Ara startling Ilena "Sister is so weird, what happened? Brother continued to smile like a fool," Ara replied with a laugh

"Aaaa, because my brother's home?" asked Ara while smiling mockingly, Ilena could only smile shyly while bowing her face

Ilena smiled broadly when she got the message that the crown prince invited Ilena to his room "Madam just walked quietly," said the servant reprimanding Ilena who walked so fast

On the road Ilena cross paths with the entourage of the Crown Princess Ayana, Ilena and her servants immediately stepped aside to give way to the entourage

Ayana looked at Ilena with a disdainful look "Where are you going, aaa.. Delivering her body to the crown prince, I forgot that she was Neron's bed servant!," his his hisses before Ilena and left just like that

Waiter Ilena stared with pity, but Ilena smiled as she nodded her head hinting that she was fine

When she reached Neron's room, Ilena saw Neron who was busy reading the documents and stopped his excitement when he realized Ilena's arrival "Sit down" said Neron

Neron gave the package to Ilena, looking into Ilena's red eyes with a thunderous breath holding back the cry. Neron was confused by what happened to the woman even Neron did nothing to offend her

"What happened to you?" ask Neron

"What's wrong, I'm sorry, sir" Ilena replied with a sniffle

Ilena was so offended by the cruel words that Ayana addressed to her earlier, really Ilena was so angry and disappointed in herself feeling so low

Looking at Ilena who kept crying Neron's heart melted, sombre came from where the desire to hug the woman. Neron hugged Ilena's stained body stroking the middle of her back to provide a sense of comfort and warmth
