My Beloved Cowboy's

Chapter 33. Take the King road

“What will Rani do?” Gaby asked King who was standing watch at the door, and he peeked back from behind the window curtain.

Rani forbids King to come with her, fearing a commotion because King is easily provoked by his emotions when dealing with Hary.

“We'll see,” said King without taking his eyes off Rani.

“Do the workers have completely disbanded?” Gaby asked again, and she immediately raised her hands to her lips, surprised to see the workers slowly disperse themselves even though there was one or two people still standing guard near Rani.

“She did it, Rani proved her remark.” Gaby said in disbelief.

King snorted, it felt impatient to go down and talk directly to Hary. But Rani forbids it, and strangely again she so easily complies with the woman's wishes.

Not long after he saw Hary speaking in a high tone to Rani, and King prepared to jump over the stairs. But a moment later came Hary's weakened tone of voice. From the veranda of the house, King could clearly hear the conversation between Rani and Hary.

The corner of King's lips curved into a smile, he never expected Rani to prove his words. Not only can the woman dampen the workers' emotions towards Hary, but she also manages to keep the man from struggling because of the deal Rani offers him.

“Ten minutes?” Hary frowned. “Come, Miss.” Hary spread out both of her hands in disbelief. “You can't do this to us.”

‘We’ said, Rani glanced back. Gaby didn't even know that the man would come to see her again.

“As far as you want to accept it or not, that's the rule you have to obey in this place. Visiting during business hours on personal matters, you are only given ten minutes to meet our workers.” Rani Resolute.

“Are you kidding? I traveled for almost two hours to get to this place, and when I got here the workers blocked my way to meet Gaby. And you gave me only ten minutes?” hary Protest.

Rani raised her hand, glanced at the watch in her hand then turned to look at the man before her again. “My time is not much, say yes or no!”

“OK, fine! Ten minutes.” Hary surrendered.

“Alright, you can meet Gaby now. Please go up to the porch and you can talk alone there,” said Rani let Hary up, while she walked ahead in front and immediately shouted loudly calling Gaby.

King pulled the arm of Rani who was walking past him without looking at him, and held him back to stay nearby. “Since I've been standing here watching you, and you've been ignoring me.”

“I have to call Gaby, it looks like she escaped.” Rani dyed looking for Gaby's shadow that suddenly disappeared from behind the window curtain.

“He's not missing, but he's preparing a weapon just in case.” King, and sure enough. Soon Gaby emerges from the house with a shovel in hand.

Rani widened her eyes, and King gave a smile. Gaby raised the shovel in her hand, “I'm sure once, this thing will make her more careful and not dare to mess around with me anymore.”

Gaby meets Hary on the porch of the house, followed by Rani's unrelenting eyes looking at her. Gaby looks different this time, looks excited and not scared as usual.

“Your spirit rubs on her, your courage against Hary and your way of calming the workers' emotions makes Gaby even bolder.” Obviously King answered the question in Rani's eyes.

“You know what Hary said when I asked her, what was the purpose of coming to see Gaby in this place?” Rani turned to King, and the man just shook his head.

“What?”

“Kangen!” answer Rani briefly. Instantly King's laughter broke out, and Rani simply flicked her shoulders. “You can't believe it, but that's why you came to see Gaby.”

“I believe,” sahut King while grabbing Rani's hand, and rubbing her slowly. “Hary is in love with Gaby, unfortunately she does not know the right way to express her love and instead make Gaby stay away and hate her.”

“How did you find out that Hary was serious about what he said?” rani asked, she pulled her hand, then leaned against the wall of the house by folding both hands on her chest.

“No, he didn't tell me.” Answer Rani.

“Now you know it.”

Rani grimaces, “Iya, but still she only has ten minutes to release her kangen taste on Gaby.”

Ten minutes passed, Hary had completely kept his promise. He went home and promised to come back in the evening.

“For what?” tanya Gaby looks agitated. “I don't like to see you come to this house often. You know, this is Maggie's house. There are rules that apply here, and you can't just come and go whenever you want.”

“I'll talk to Madame Maggie and later tonight I'll ask her permission to take you out of the house.” Hary said.

Hary turned around and left Gaby who was looking at her annoyed. He threw a shovel in his hand which had been in his hand.

“I hate that guy!” his sister to Rani who immediately stretched her arms around Gaby, tried to calm down by rubbing her back.

“Do not hate someone too much, because usually that person will continue to be present in your mind.” King said reminding.

Gaby releases Rani's embrace, and turns to King. “I will try hard to get him out of my mind. Thank you for making me have the courage to face Hary again.”

Gaby returns to her desk again, leaving King and Rani still standing outside.

“You can continue your work, King. And I'll go back to my room,” said Rani then turned around about to enter the house.

King pulled his arm, holding back his steps. The man took her to sit down and did not let go of his hand.

“What do you want, King?” ask Rani.

“I want to take you away later tonight, I'll ask for permission from Madame Maggie.”

Rani knitted her brows, it felt like she had just heard that sentence spoken from Hary's mouth.

“Where will you take me?” Rani asks while thinking, they might be able to leave the four later tonight if Gaby accepts Hary's invitation.

“Only the two of us, I don't want to join the others.” King said as if he could read Rani's mind.

Rani laughs at it, “You're like asking me out on a date tonight.”

“There is a fireworks party in the city square, many attractions are also rides games that are presented there. If you agree, I'll come pick you up at seven o'clock tonight.” Sahut King, ignoring Rani's words when alluding to the word dating.

It seems nice to go alone again with King, even if not on a date.

“Should I beg you? The party's just staying tonight, and I'd love to take you away with me.”

The corner of Rani's lips curved into a smile. Before he answered King's words, Grandmother's voice rang out from behind the door. “You two don't need to ask permission from me if you want to go on a date.”

Grandma blinked her eyes at Rani, then looked at King seriously. “I drop my grandson, take good care of him. If anything happens to him, then this shovel will talk.”
