My Beloved Cowboy's

Chapter 35. Meet again

Rani smiled broadly, standing hugging the small bag containing the gift phone she had just received. Next to him, King walked over carrying two large cups of ice cream as an extra gift.

“Congratulations, yes.” Said his co-star partner, shaking Rani and King's hands.

“Thank you,” answered Rani, and the couple left and had a glance at the ice cream in King's hand.

“What do you think, if this one cup of ice cream I give them?” king asked Rani for her opinion.

Rani did not immediately agree, she pulled King's arm towards the empty long bench on the sidelines.

“What's your favorite ice cream. If I like chocolate the most,” said Rani held up the ice cream cup in her hand.

“I also.”

Rani smiles hearing that, “True?”

And King smiled, and Rani handed him a pink ice cream cup. “We've got the solution, you can give this one to them.”

“Oke.”

King walked up to the couple and gave them ice cream in his hand, which he received with sparkling eyes. The woman waved at Rani, as King pointed at her. And Rani waved her hand back.

Rani thinks King will go straight back to her, unfortunately there are two young men who call King and ask for time to talk to him. It seemed serious, and King agreed and then invited the two young men to talk at one of the empty tables.

While waiting for King to return, Rani enjoys the ice cream in her hands alone. So engrossed that King was unconscious sitting next to him.

“Enak?” king asked, then took the spoon from Rani's hand. One mouthful escaped into his mouth. King closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the cold and sweet sensation of chocolate beans mixed into one.

Rani turned her face, looking at King with smiling lips. The ice cream cup in front of him was only half of it.

“Birmu,” said Rani held back a smile.

“What?” King frowned, looking back at Rani.

“Shortly, let me clean up. I ate, the straws even your lips.” Rani cleared up for a moment. “Please, hold first. But don't eat anymore, yeah.” Rani hands the ice cream cup in her hand to King.

“Hey, isn't this ice cream mine too. Why can't I eat it?” King Protests.

Rani laughed, feeling funny looking at King's throbbing lips. The man did not realize, there was ice cream left on the corner of his lips. “Es that cream is mine, yours you already gave to someone else. You drove him there.”

Rani reached into a small packet of tissue and pulled it out of her bag, then pulled out a few pieces.

“It wasn't you who told me to give it to them?”

Not caring about Rani glaring at him, King devoured the ice cream in his hand in a big mouthful and after that he raised his thumb. “Enak.”

“King!”

King chuckled, Rani trying to snatch the ice cream in her hand. But King didn't just give it away. He lifted up high, and Rani jumped up trying to reach him.

It's not Rani's name if she can't get hers back. Rani stands on the bench and immediately embraces King's neck, grabbing back her ice cream.

“Can!”

Anxious, King grabbed Rani's lips quickly made Rani gasp and silent for a while. Both of his hands were still holding King's shoulders, and the man was fixedly staring at him.

“King, why are you so happy to tease me?”

“I'm not teasing you, I've never acted that way to another woman in my entire life. You made me weak,” King said.

Rani smiled shyly, her outstretched hand touching the corner of King's lips and rubbing it gently with her fingertips. “There's ice cream leftover on your lips.”

King lowered Rani in his arms, and went back to enjoying the ice cream in front of him. Rani was silent for a long time and only spoke after hearing her cell phone ring.

His eyes looked at the screen of his phone and was astonished to see his grandmother's name on it. Rani turned to King, before sticking the flat object in her ear.

“Who called?” ask King.

“Grandma,” answered Rani briefly, with a frown.

“What does he say?” ask King again.

Rani listened to her grandmother talk, for a while she just quietly listened. “It's not even nine hours a night, Grandma?”

Rani glanced at the watch in her hand, the frown on her forehead deepening when she heard Grandma's next remark.

“Didn't he come want to meet with mr Philips, then what does that have to do with us?” rani asked as she glanced at King who was seriously listening.

“About another hour We're home,” Rani said again, but it looks like grandma asked her to come home right then and there.

“OK, we go home now.” Rani did not refute her grandmother's words anymore, and immediately hung up her phone once her grandmother finished talking.

King swallowed his last mouthful, then threw the ice cream cup in his hand into the trash can. Rani gave a quick glance, suddenly her appetite vanished out of nowhere. Rani didn't even protest when King finished his ice cream.

“What's the matter, why is your forehead wrinkled like that?” asked King looking at him fully in search.

“Grandma asks us to go home now. There are guests from out of town who want to meet with Mr. Philips, and grandma asks us to accompany him.” Answer Rani.

“Guests from out of town, come and want to meet mister Philips?” King repeats Rani's words, trying to remember something. “Is he the same person as the one who wants to buy a farm owned by Mr Philips?”

“I don't know.” Rani flicked her shoulders, then looked at King again. “We'd better go home now, I don't want to worry grandma and wait for us long.”

“Alright, we go home now.” King according.

An hour later they arrived at the farmhouse, King opened the door for Rani and took her hand to enter the yard.

The front door opened as they reached the veranda of the house, grandma came out and exclaimed in relief. “Finally you guys came too.”

Rani glanced at her watch, “ It's only ten in the night, Nek.”

“I know, but Mr. Philips needs someone who understands the subject of farmland like King to accompany him.” Grandmother said.

King nodded, “Do the Madam know him, is he the same person who wants to buy the land ranch Mr Philips first?”

“Yes, he's the one. This time he came alone and is now with Mr. Philips. He said he would stay a few days in this place while looking at the location of other residents' farmland,” said grandma again.

“It looks like this guy has a lot of money.” King whistled, and grandma chuckled at him. “I'll see them soon.”

They head to the back of the main house where Gaby and Mr. Philips live, on the porch of Gaby's house welcoming them.

“Papa, King has arrived.” Gaby said, pulling over gave way as King entered his living room. Rani and Grandma were behind him.

Mr. Philips' smile expanded, he allowed King to sit down and introduce him to his guests. While Gaby who saw the presence of Rani along with her grandmother immediately hugged her and pulled her into the house.

“Kingstone Hardy.” The king extended his hand, and the man before him welcomed his helping hand.

“Andre Hutama.” The man mentioned his name.

The man turned around, immediately Rani's steps came to a halt. His body froze where he was standing at that moment, the eyes of the man before him were shocked to see his presence there. Those eyes were staring at him full of longing. “Rani?” sapanya slow. “Finally we meet again here.”
