Chapter 9

"Well, how do you feel about me, brother?"

---

Four months later.

Kinza stepped into one of the famous Wedding Organizers in the city of Bogor. A few months ago, Kinza officially became a Student at Jakarta State University, the faculty of Indonesian Literature. This is a sign of her increasingly close marriage between Kinza and Althafariz. More precisely two months away.

Slowly the girl accepted Al's presence. Although it was difficult, but Kinza still forced it. Sometimes Kinza saw the closeness between Al and the Princess, somehow her chest was always rumbling. There was a sense of unwillingness to see Al with other women. Kinza fell in love with Al? Of course not! Kinza felt that because for him, something that would be close to him would be his.

Like at the moment. Whether the crazy idea from where, Al instead invited the Princess to the wedding organizer to choose the concept of marriage. Both of their parents were there. Al is completely insane.

"Lho, is Puput coming here too?" ask Zahra when she arrives in the room. Princess smiled kindly. The girl nodded slowly.

"Eh a minute aunty, Puput want to talk first with Kinza" said the Princess while pulling the arm Kinza. Kinza was immediately aghast, shocked by the Princess' sudden treatment. But the girl chose to quietly follow the Princess' steps.

The princess closed the toilet door. Previously he made sure to come back so that there was really no one.

"What's up, Ma'am?" ask Kinza slowly. The princess immediately threw Kinza's hand violently. Kinza was shocked again. The longer the Princess' attitude towards her the more cruel. No matter how close they were. Kinza accepted, maybe his mistake was too big to make the Princess into a bringas.

"Do you know what you said last time?" ask the Princess to make sure. He folded his hands on his chest. Her face turned cynical.

Kinza remembered.

"Yes remember, Mother. The concept of marriage is as Ma'am and Kak Al want. The nuances of the all-color building are navy and silver. Entertainment with Middle Eastern songs, flower decoration should be white and red, its decoration gold. And durian ice cream." said Kinza smoothly. There is no defect, all of which are like the wishes of Al and the Princess.

"One more thing, don't tell anyone this idea. Just tell me this is all Kinza wants." continued Kinza while staring blankly ahead. Kinza knows now, it was not Al who invited the Princess to join this place. But the princess forced it.

The princess nodded happily. Then he left Kinza with all the raging feeling in his chest.

'Actually the one who is married, me or the Mother Princess?!' muttered Kinza as she stared at the Princess's departure with nanar.

Shortly after, Kinza moved out of the toilet following the departure of the Princess. As much as possible he put on an ordinary face as if nothing had happened. It's pretty hard for Kinza. He's too early to get all this. For him, the time at the new age will step eighteen years must be filled with joy. It's not sadness that comes on like now. Kinza could only sigh slowly.

"It's been a long time since this would-be bride." joked mama smooth while rubbing Kinza's head slowly. Kinza immediately smiled clumsyly.

"So how is the concept, try Kinza mention what are the concepts you want?" ask Sada softly. She also fondly stroked Kinza's head. Kinza glanced at Al, the man still remained indifferent and cold. Kinza alternately looked at the Princess, the girl looked envious and slightly hurt. Kinza felt bad.

The Princess immediately gave the code so that Kinza said the concept that Princess and Al had chosen. He winked at the sign of understanding.

"The concept of his gini aunt, the nuances of his buildings are colored Navy and Silver, continues his entertainment of Middle Eastern music. Decoration flowers are red and white, gold decoration, and there should be durian ice cream." reply Kinza while staring at the Princess.

Al was surprised. Why all the concepts are the same as desired by Al and Putri. Who leaked all that?

Meanwhile, Mama looked at Kinza in disbelief. How can all the concepts in Kinza choose inversely proportional to what he likes.

Kinza likes shades of white pink, Indonesian music, she likes pink roses, and does not like anything that smells durian.

"You're okay, right?" ask mom to make sure. Kinza was immediately shocked.

"It's okay, Ma, why?" ask Kinza back. He put on an ordinary face. Mama glared, she looked directly at Kinza in disbelief.

"This isn't the Kinza you know."

Blashes..

Kinza instantly sculpted for a moment. His body stiffened like he was stung by electricity. Now what should he be? How did you answer my mom's question just now?

"You want to ruin your own wedding?" ask mama flat. He held onto Kinza's shoulder.

"N-ng-no ma, a-anu. Kinza, it's Kak Al's choice with Kinza. We had a deal, didn't we?" ask Kinza to Al. The guy is still quiet. Confused by the words Kinza just now.

"Sister Al?" ask Kinza again.

"Eh, yes aunt." reply Al briefly.

"You're not hiding anything anymore, are you?" tanya Sada intimidates. Mama also stared at them.

"No." replied Al and Kinza together.

"OK deh, let's continue." said mama while pulling the arm Kinza soft, now only remaining Al and Putri.

...---...

"You're the one who leaked it all?" ask Al to the Princess. The girl asked immediately stopped her steps.

"Jawab I Put, have you leaked the concept of marriage that we want?" ask Al again. The princess was silent. The girl looked at Al softly.

"Yes, this is all my idea Al. Why is it? you don't like it?" replied Princess lirih. He approached Al one step.

"But Kinza doesn't like anything that smells like durian! You know that long ago?! Why is there durian ice cream?" tanya Al could not believe it. The man held the Princess' shoulder.

"Why is it? Durian ice cream is a favorite of both of us. Isn't that our desire Al? This is our dream wedding?!"

"But this is my wedding to Kinza, Put! Kinza could faintly smell the smell of durian! You want to make my party ruined?!" reply Al while raising his voice. Al was really disappointed with the attitude of the Princess just now.

Plaque.

One slap landed smoothly on Al's cheek. Al who was not ready to accept the slap, made his body slightly wobbly.

"You're a bad guy, Al! You don't appreciate my struggle to make you happy at your wedding! You're not sane Al!" said the Princess with a pushy look.

"You are not in your right mind! In your mind there are only two of us. You never think about other people's feelings, do you?! It's enough Kinza is made to suffer just as you Put, don't constantly torture him!" al said while holding his heated cheek.

"What do you care about Al? Why is it all about Kinza now?! You don't think about my feelings, do you? Where's Al who always loved me? Where's the obedient Al? Where's the romantic Al? You've changed Al, you don't love me!" The princess started to sob little. Al was confused as to what.

"I should talk like this with you, Put. You have changed, where is the meek Princess? Where is the loving and kind Princess? Where is the Princess who cares about people?!"

"THE PRINCESS IS DEAD ALONG WITH ALL THE DISAPPOINTMENT AND HATRED!" said Putri while leaving Al who is still silent. Al stared at the Princess' departure with a raging feeling. He's broken now. On one hand she loves Princess, but on the other she also cares for Kinza. Now what should he do? Chasing the Princess or seeing Kinza?

...---...

A beautiful girl was sitting contemplating in one of the famous cafes in Bogor City. The girl sobbed little while staring at a friendly photo between herself and also a man she loved very much. Her name was Princess Naima. The girl who became the victim between the match of an Althafariz and Kinza Irsyania. The girl who now held hatred and disappointment in her heart.

Princess Naima. Once she was very loving, she was a cheerful, kind girl, and always sympathetic to everyone. A girl with a soft word and a girl with a patient soul. And now, all of it is gone. The princess had turned into a cold and evil figure. He no longer thinks about anyone else. This girl became haughty and vengeful. She is Princess Naima. The girl who lost all love in her life.

"White?!" the greeting of someone made the Princess look up at him. His eyes were fixated on the figure of the man in striped clothes with the typical Army hat perched on the person's head. He is Arjuna Bima Nusamalima.

"May I sit here?" ask Arjuna. Suddenly the Princess nodded in agreement with Arjuna to sit in front of her. The princess looked back, in her eyes again the photos of her and Al inside her rectangular object.

Arjuna looked at the Princess fixedly. This girl in front of him was a friend of Arjuna when he was in High School. They know each other, not just at school. But also in the dorm.

"What's Al?" ask Arjuna to make sure. The princess looked up again and looked at Arjuna.

"It's none of your business, Ar!" said the lazy Princess while looking at Arjuna cynically. Arjuna glared, he looked at the Princess even deeper.

"Oh yeah? Obviously this is my business, Put. All this time, you've always been cruel to Kinza. With me gone, it doesn't mean I stop watching you!" reply Arjuna cold. He looked at the Princess who was smiling wryly.

"Gue doesn't care!" putri lirih said.

"Everybody just cares about Kinza. All of them are Ar, not just Al. But you also only attach importance to Kinza compared to me. What kind of friend are you, huh?" keep the Princess glazed. Arjuna sighed slowly. He knows this woman, he knows the real nature of the Princess. He's not evil, he's just jealous.

"Lo know, Ar? Now no one cares about me. I'm Ar myself, I'm sick. My parents have abandoned me, and now? Al will leave me! Where is my fault, Ar? I have always been kind to others, but here I am the most hurt! I'm confused Ar, why my life is so messy like this, hix-hiks." said the Princess plainly while starting to sob. Tears of her sadness instantly shed soaked her beautiful face that was beginning to reddish. Arjuna changed positions, he sat next to the Princess. Arjuna takes the Princess into his arms.

The girl grew sobbing, her cries breaking into great. The Princess' body trembled violently. The princess is so devastated now.

"Lo's only one mistake, Put. Lo is just jealous of the closeness of Al and Kinza. Put, horrify me all right. From now on you should be able to sincerely Al for Kinza. No matter how much you try to continue to membersamai Al, surely all of it will be in vain. You're not destined for Al, neither am I. I am not destined for Kinza." said Arjuna lirih.

"Lo hurt, I'm the same Put. But I've encouraged them to be together. Do you know of my departure a few months ago? It wasn't my job, but it was my way of giving Kinza away. And lo! Now you have to accept the reality and sincere Al. Do you understand what I said?!" keep Arjuna on again. The princess was crying even more. It's very difficult to catch people who've been with him for five years.

"That?" call Princess Lirih while taking off Arjuna's embrace. The princess looked up, she looked at Arjuna wryly.

"Help me to sincerely Al." said Putri lirih. Arjuna nodded.

"Gue must help you." Arjuna replied.

"Help me to dispel this hatred Ar."

"Gue will help you lo Put, but on one condition." said Arjuna while hanging his last sentence. The princess looked at Arjuna with questions.

"What's the condition?" ask Princess.

"Never appear again in the lives of the two of them." Arjuna replied.

"Can I?"

"Lo sure can, I'll always be with you. I'll help you forget about Al, so will you. You're gonna help me forget about Kinza. But have to remember the terms from me, never disturb the lives of both of them and never hurt Kinza."

"Gue promise!" reply the Princess while hugging Arjuna. Arjuna replied to her. This is all Arjuna has to do. He just didn't want to see Kinza get hurt. Arjuna loves Kinza. But shouldn't love have to?

Arjuna loves Kinza with all his heart. Arjuna was willing to sacrifice anything for Kinza. Including his own feelings.

Now Arjuna knows. Kinza's safety and happiness are all for him. Whatever happens, Arjuna will still love his girl.
