Marrying a King's Son

episode 61

The funeral for Haida's grandmother is soon to be held. Rhea stood right in front of the body of the deceased to give a final sign of respect before the body was buried. Behind Rhea, also stood Rey and the rest of the city who attended the funeral of their elders.

Rey walked slowly and gave a bouquet of marigolds to Rhea. With a deep sorrowful expression, Rhea received the flower. The process of burying the corpse was carried out and witnessed by all residents of the city. When she finished, Rhea walked slowly to lay marigolds on her grandmother's funeral.

However, just a few steps Rhea walked, suddenly a hand outstretched and took hold of the marigold flower in Rhea's hand. Rhea was stunned because it turned out that the person who joined the flower was her brother, Rara.

“Kakak!” Rhea. He was surprised to see Rhea standing next to him.

“We will put these flowers together.” Rara smiled but her eyes glazed over as if her tears had already wanted to spill out. However, Rara tried hard to hold him back.

“But, you ...” Rhea could not continue her words. Because he himself did not expect that his brother would recover so soon. Rhea is sure, it must be Rey's father who helped cure Rara.

“I'm strong, I can still hold on. At least, this is my last sign of respect for the only person I have in this world. I have to take her away too, Rhea. That way, I won't regret even if I have to die now.”

Rhea was in tears, but she tried hard to hold him back. The girl was sure, this was what her grandmother wanted. Rhea and Rara together escorted her departure. “Goodbye grandma, good-bye. May grandma calm down there and thank you for everything,” said Rhea. Rara was silent.

They both laid the marigold flowers for their beloved grandmother. Rara could only apologize to her grandmother wholeheartedly for what she had been doing.

“I got a second chance to reorganize my life, Grandma. From now on, don't worry about me anymore. For I will live well, for I am not alone, there is the fool Rhea who has dared to lie to me and the fetus is in my womb. Does grandma know? Your adopted granddaughter thinks I'm easy to lie to. I came back to my senses because I wanted to stick his head out. I hope grandma is not angry if I do it because your grandson has dared to lie to me,”, said Rara who was immediately greeted by tears Rhea.

Rara turned to Rhea and hugged her foster sister. “Basic you! Do you want me to chop, huh? How dare you lie to me saying that Jakson would confess to me and this foetus I have? I'm really pissed at you! That's obviously impossible! I want to wake up and scold you all out!” isak Rara hugged Rhea tightly in front of her grandmother's grave.

“I heard, lying for good is okay, sister. I tried to do that because my father-in-law said, Brother lost the spirit to live. I don't want to lose you, you're the only human family I have. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had the perfect family. What would I be if I lost you too?” Rhea was crying in Rara's arms.

“Stay, you don't have to lie like that? I'm mad at you! I don't want you to give the factory to my son. Pull back all your words or I don't want to think of you as my sister anymore.”

“Sister and Brother's son, need that factory more than me. Don't worry about me because I'm married to a prince. He's a lot bigger than me. He would not possibly allow me any flaws. After all, it was my father-in-law's factory that was given to my father. We don't all need all that. Once I get married to Rey, I will definitely go with my husband wherever he goes. No one will manage that factory if I leave later. That's why, that factory I give you now.”

“Rhea no lie, Ra!” said someone from behind Rara's back. “Which Rhea said is true. I ... accept the child in your womb as my son, my flesh and blood. And I want .. you forgive me for all the mistakes I've done to you for hurting you. I'm sorry, Ra.”

In front of everyone, Jakson knelt before Rara who stood stunned in disbelief after seeing her coming here.

"What are you here for?" ask Rara. Her tears flowed down her cheeks.

“I'm really sorry to you, Ra. I hope you're willing to marry me right now. I promise, will look after and protect you and be a good husband and father to our son.” Jakson looked up at Rara who had been silent since.

Rara doesn't know what to say, Jakson's presence and statements upset her. When he was ready to organize his life alone, Jakson came with a promise. He used to expect this promise, but after what Jakson did to him. Rara is scared and traumatized if someday, Jakson will hurt her again.

As if to know what Rara thought of him, Jakson took out a small knife and scratched his palm with the small knife. Blood flowed profusely from Jakson's palm.

“What are you doing?” shout Rara. He ripped off his lower clothes to bandage the wound in Jakson's hand. “Are you crazy? Is this how you can make me forgive you? I'd hate you even more if you did something stupid like this. You heard that!” Rara continued to grumble while crying, but her hands were busy wrapping the wound in Jakson's hand.

“This blood is not worth the tears you shed because of me. I'm sorry, Ra ... since that night .. I kept thinking about what you said when you refused to marry me. I was angry, I was upset with myself. I did something that I wasn't. Alan came and beat me up. Alan's punches again made me realize that what I did was wrong.”

“Lalu ... what about the woman in the car? Have you planted seeds on him too? Are you also going to be responsible to him? And beat us up? No, Jack. I don't want to be pitted ..”

“I didn't do that to her, even though I wanted to .. I couldn't. Because only your face is in my head every time I try to forget you by dating a lot of women. I'm tormented Ra, I just want revenge on you, but I just realized that I'm. I know I don't deserve to talk about love in front of you after what I did. But I can't lie to my own feelings. I am willing to accept any punishment from you. Do whatever you want, even if you want to kill me. I'm ready to die in your hands.” Jakson gave the small knife he had used to scratch his palm at Rara.

With hesitation, Rara took the knife while looking intently at Jakson's eyes.
