Marrying a King's Son

episode 45 The Ritual Begins

Alan overheard Rara and Jakson talking this morning. He was shocked to hear that his ex-girlfriend was in two with his best friend. And even more surprising is, his best friend was not willing to admit the child that Rara conceived.

Alan still could not believe, Jakson could do such a cruel thing to Rara. Actually Alan knows very well, Jakson is not the type of person who likes to play around with women. If he did that, there would be a reason.

"Is Jakson revenge for me?" guess Alan. "If it's true, then .. It's all my fault." Alan could not imagine what happened to Rara now. Now, he understood why Rara was unwilling to look at him. He felt guilty for saying rude things to Rara.

Although Rara had hurt him like this, but Alan did not expect Jakson to make Rara's life suffer. This is not what he wanted from Rara. Alan has also given all of Rara's treatment to her. He might have seen the woman he loved suffer. Alan couldn't let it go. This afternoon, too, the man had decided to meet Rara at his home.

While Jakson himself, gets a hard slap from his father after knowing what Jakson did to Rara.

"You should marry her. Tonight too? Why are you tearing up our surname, huh? Playing with women is okay, but do not get out of bounds! What you're doing is over the line!" Shouted Nouval and Riska trying to calm her husband.

"He forced me to do it himself, Dad!" Jakson defended himself.

"It's your own fault why do you want it! Do you know what? This act of yours has tarnished the good name of our family. Queen Fey told you that, right? Marry that woman tonight or I drop your name off the family list! My decision is final and cannot be challenged. You have the courage to do so, so you must also dare to take responsibility!" Nouval left and went into his personal space followed by Riska.

While Jakson himself, already had no other choice but to obey the request of his family. Inevitably, she must marry Rara.

Elsewhere, Rhea had already begun to prepare to carry out her final ritual. He sat in front of Rey's makeup mirror while wearing a special outfit used to carry out his rituals. Long too Rhea looked at herself in front of the mirror. Undeniably, Rhea was also very nervous right now. Many times he took a deep breath and threw it away again.

The woman who helped put on Reha's ritual attire, was immediately amazed at how beautiful Rhea was tonight. This white dress made of silk is perfect for Rhea.

"Wauw, Rhea .. You are so beautiful! It's only this time that I see you as beautiful as this," said Mala, one of Rhea's friends who was also selected in the success team of the ritual event that will soon be done.

Rhea just smiled at the poet of her best friend. He kept staring into the mirror that was Rey behind him. Rey leaned against the window of her room and continued to stare at Rhea in silence. During the Rhea Dirahas, Rey could not get close and could only see Rhea from a distance.

"Well, it's done." Mala tied the rope behind Rhea's exquisite clothes. "Somehow I feel like you're going to have a wedding. Your groom also seems to be ready behind, too" seduced Mala while looking at Rey whose eyes never escaped Rhea's eyes.

"Don't just talk? You're just there." Rhea's face blushed in embarrassment especially Rey continued to look at him endlessly.

Mala smiled and hugged Rhea from behind. "You're amazing Rhea. May your ritual be successful and run smoothly without any obstacles. Cayo!" Mala gave Rhea a spirit. The two laughed together and managed to make Rhea relax so that she was not nervous anymore like that.

"Thank you, Mala. Thanks to you, I'm not tensed anymore."

"Ehm, equally. You can, because you're Rhea. Primadona in the city. There's nothing you can't do. We all believe in you because you're the only one who can do all this." Mala patted Rhea's shoulder gently, looking straight at Rey. "Well, I have to go to see if it's ready or not. Follow me right away when you're done with Rey." Mala teases Rhea again and leaves immediately.

Rhea was ashamed of herself because her best friend was so understanding. Before doing the ritual, Rhea did want to be alone with the man she loved so much.

As soon as Mala closed the door, Rey approached Rhea in a super-fast motion. Within seconds, Rey was behind Rhea sitting in front of the mirror.

"You're so beautiful, dear" Rey hugged Rhea from behind.

"You're also handsome," replied Rhea. The two throw smiles at each other.

Rey turned Rhea's chair to face her, she squatted in front of Rhea while tightly grasping her hands.

"Whatever happens, you need to focus on your rituals, honey. Don't mind the others. You just have to carry the candle across. I'll wait for you there." Rey stared lovingly at Rhea's bead eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I will always look after and protect you. I won't let you in danger. Tonight, father and his entire army will be back with us. Our family will be as complete as ever, dear. And we'll be happy forever." Rey took off her hug and kissed the affectionate Rhea's forehead. "It's time, let's go now." Rey took something out of her pocket and gave it to Rhea.

"Necklace?" Rhea's eyes immediately widened to see the very beautiful necklace. "What'sthis? Why did you give me a necklace?"

"It's not from me, it's from mom. Mom said, before you do the ritual, you should wear this necklace." Rey put the beautiful necklace around Rhea's neck. "Well, you're getting pretty." Rey immediately kissed the soft red lips of Rhea's pomegranate.

"Thank you, Rey. I don't know why .. I'm not nervous anymore. I'm really ready. It seems, this necklace is an encouragement necklace. I'm so excited now. Hurry along! Take me to the lake." Rhea's eyes sparkled brightly. His once chaotic feelings suddenly disappeared and were replaced with the spirit of 45.

With a smile, Rey hugged Rhea and instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye. The two arrived at the edge of the lake where everyone and the locals had also arrived and filled the lake area.

"Wuah, there's so much." Rhea did not expect that there would be so many people coming to see the ritual.

"Of course, for them .. this is a ritual pleading for well-being to stay awake 0 in this city. But for us, this ritual is to restore father and his entire army. Whatever it is, the purpose of this ritual is for the good of all of us." Rey clasped Rhea's hand.

"You're right, then ... where's mom?" ask Rhea.

Rey was silent and did not answer. It's not that Rey doesn't want to tell you what's really going on, but she doesn't want Rhea to lose her concentration because she's getting carried away. It would be better if he didn't know anything first. At least until the ritual is complete.

"Mother is having important business. He'll be here as soon as his business is done" Rey replied. He's not entirely lying. Fey is taking care of Rara and Jakson's wedding.

***

The ritual ceremony begins immediately. Rhea was taken somewhere to start her ritual. From a distance, Rhea could see an old woman dressed the same as him, sitting cross-legged on a small board overlooking the lake. Rhea knew who the old woman was. She is Haida's grandmother, the grandmother that Rhea also misses. I wanted Rhea to run and hug my grandmother, but she couldn't do it because the ritual had already begun.

"Pair your hands together, Rhea. And pray before you perform this ritual" said Haida's grandmother, who sat on her back to Rhea.

The girl understood and did as she was told. Rhea closed her eyes, clenching her hands together in front of her chest. With solemnity, Rhea prayed that this rhythm would run smoothly without any obstacles.

King, Father, Mother, Mother Kun and the other Dedemit troops ... Come back, Rhea said in her heart.
