Marrying a King's Son

episode 12 Hand Links

Rhea ran over to her grandmother who was standing anxiously around the crowd of people who were getting ready for the ceremony. Some people around Rhea were also busy with their respective tasks.

"What's this, Grandma? Why did the show start now? Isn't it just starting next week?" rhea asked hurriedly, her breathing was still wheezing as well.

"Take it easy," said Rhea's grandmother, helping to wipe Rhea's sweat, which was covered with her red handkerchief. "Drink this." Grandma took the bottled water and handed it to Rhea so that the girl would not strain anymore.

Rhea complied with her grandmother's request. He tried to be calm while re-regulating his breathing deeply. In fact, he was very curious what made his grandmother decide to speed up this rutinan ceremony.

"There's been a change in the situation, my granddaughter. I got a message from the king to perform the ritual now. I don't know what happened, but that's the message the king gave me" Haida's grandmother said. "The decision of the king, must be made immediately, neither I nor anyone else can resist it even if it is impossible to do."

"What would happen if we didn't do it now? I'm not ready, Grandma? What if I fail?" I haven't even rehearsed for my last rite."

"A ceremony like this has been done twice, without practice, you can certainly do it. For your last ritual, you still have plenty of time, don't worry about it. Now prepare! Change clothes. We all believe in you." Grandma patted Rhea's shoulder gently.

There was nothing Rhea could say but obey her grandmother's will. For the past 3 years, Grandma Haida asked him to perform various kinds of rituals and ceremonies that are strange and strange. All are very unreasonable and beyond human reason.

However, all these are traditions that must be done by everyone who lives in this place. Because, if they do not do it, then a major disaster could have struck this small town.

In addition, this ritual cannot be done by just anyone. Only selected people can perform this ritual including Rhea herself.

The reason why Rhea was chosen, because the candle that Rhea brought while performing a ritual in the lake, remains brightly lit along with other chosen people. While the candles of the villagers who also followed the ritual were extinguished even before reaching the middle of the lake. The owner of the candles that are still burning is a person of choice who is obliged to perform the annual ritual held in this village.

Rhea was done getting ready and staying to attend the rutinan ceremony held in this small town. Until this moment, Rhea herself still did not understand anything about the ritual she had done twice, but her grandmother promised to tell everything if someone she believed to be the king, had come. Because, his grandmother said that Rhea also owed his life by this person so that the king was forced to disappear.

That's what made Rhea survive until now and do everything Haida's grandmother said. He wanted to know everything that happened to him, who he really was, and why he had to do all this. To find out all the answers to the mystery of her life story, Rhea had to perform all the rituals that Haida's grandmother told her with her various clues.

"Don't be afraid of Rhea, you can definitely do it" Rhea muttered reassuringly as she sat in front of the mirror.

The sound of the first drumbeats began to sound. Rhea entered the ceremonial area with a soft and calm heart. But he immediately gasped when he saw Rey was among the city residents who participated in seeing this series of ceremonies.

What's that shitty guy doing here? inner Rhea.

Once again Rhea put Rey's whereabouts aside and again concentrated on her ritual. The second bang, Rhea sat cross-legged in front of the stage. Two young women dressed the same as Rhea came forward and stood to the right left of Rhea. Both carry a medium-sized piece of gucci filled with water and 7-figure flowers.

The third bang, the two young women splashed water over Rhea's head simultaneously. And the sound was sounded along with a series of strange sentences that Rhea could not understand at all. It seemed, it was the regional language typical of this small town.

As soon as the last sentence was finished, Rhea opened her eyes again and stood up while carrying a candle given by her grandmother that had been placed in front of Rhea after the last flush was done.

Rhea took the candle and walked slowly up the stage to the middle of where the offering was done. Carefully, Rhea placed the candle right in the middle of the expanse of marigolds.

Suddenly a strong wind blew through the entire area of this ceremony. It surprised everyone which means, Rhea's offering candle will also be in danger. The people around here are scattering here and there in search of a safe refuge. Not with Rhea. Under no circumstances was the girl daunted and continued her ritual.

"Watch, candle!" Excited all the villagers who watched the candle almost go out. Everyone seemed panicked thinking this ceremony would fail. They were all also unable to do anything even they were also unable to get close to Rhea.

Rhea opened her eyes and covered the nearly extinguished candle with her hand, but the wind was so strong that Rhea's two hands could not dispel the wind.

"No, I beg you! Don't extinguish! Keep yapping!" pinta Rhea with immeasurable anxiety.

In the last seconds of the candle extinguishing, a pair of hands stretched out to help cover the candle so as not to be extinguished. And strangely, thanks to two pairs of tag hands interlocked, the candle was again lit even brighter than before and strangely again, the wind stopped blowing and the atmosphere returned to how it was.

The weirdness does not stop there, miraculously appeared black bracelet right wrist Rhea the exact same as the bracelet belongs to Rey. The bracelet is nothing but a symbol of Rey and Rhea's love.

Rhea was very surprised to see this weirdness. Usually, no one dared to come near him during the ritual process even though Rhea was in danger. Because, anyone who approached Rhea before this ritual was completed, then the person will immediately experience severe pain and lead to death. But that doesn't seem to be the case with Rey. Refald's son went straight ahead to help Rhea cover the candle and it worked. Rey did not suffer any injuries, even the wind also stopped crashing in this area.

Rey and Rhea face each other as they recall their memories of the past along with the appearance of a black bracelet as a symbol of the purity of their love as well as proof, that two people who had separated were married in another world.

"You remember me? Darling?" rey asked in a friendly voice and continued to stare at Rhea's beautiful bead eyes.
