My Beloved Cowboy's

Chapter 8. King's hurt

Rani smilingly looked at King's back that passed from before her, she pulled her suitcase and carried it inside the house.

“What do you think of King?” grandma took Rani by the arm, leading her to walk towards the room she was going to occupy.

Rani flicked her shoulders, answering while scanning the surroundings of the room. “King well, he's the man in charge.”

Grandma clucked softly, shaking her head. “Ck, King is good. But he is also a man who quickly rose blood. Do not try to provoke his emotions, he must immediately act and finish it right then and there.”

Rani folded her lips, remembering the incident this afternoon. He had already proven his grandmother's words, how he should engage in a charade with the man.

Unknowingly having her hands raised touching her lips, Rani could still feel the touch of the man's lips there.

Holy hooch! Rani shook her head, casting away the shadow as King touched her lips.

They had already reached the door of Rani's room, grandma sighed seeing Rani shake her head. “Grandma has prepared this room for you, but if you do not like the color of the wall paint. Grandma will immediately tell people to repaint.”

Rani stared at the room in front of her. “Who said Rani doesn't like the paint color?”

Rani twisted her body, her mouth did not stop to say awe. The entire floor of the house was made of wood, including inside his room. The walls are made of split wooden trunks, the sofa inside the room is covered in real leather. The windows are large and face directly into the field, from which Rani can see the cowboys training their horses.

“Do you like your room?”

“Bangeet! This room is beautiful.” Rani threw her body on the bed, the object underneath it immediately slashed and soared again. Rani suffocated happily.

“Hey, you should clean up immediately before laying down your body there!” Reproving her grandmother in a affectionate tone, she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Rani who started to close her eyes slowly.

“Shortly, Grandma. Just five minutes. Hmm, it feels great to be back in this place again.” Rani smiled, widening her hands while rubbing the soft sheets under her body.

Grandma laughed to see him, the woman also spread her body and lay on her side next to Rani. “Grandmother is happy to see you appearing in this house again, it's been a long time. Last time when you were on vacation here three years ago, you told your Grandma that you were accepted to work at a well-known private company.”

Rani opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling of her room. “Yes, I remember. Grandma instantly gave me a lucky gift, and I still wear it till now.”

Rani grabs back her neck and pulls out a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant pendulum in which she has a photo of her late father. “Everytime I stare at this locket, I feel like dad is hugging me.”

Rani kissed the pendulum in her hand, her actions moved the grandmother. “That's the last memory of your father before he died. Grandma purposely gave it to you, because Grandma knows you are closest to your father.”

“The greatest male father ever, no one can replace him in this heart.”

“One day you will meet a good man who will take care of and love you just as he took care of you.”

Grandma rubbed Rani's cheeks, the woman tightened her body and sucked her head in the warmth of her grandmother's chest. Like a spoiled little cat, Rani curled up while hugging her grandmother's waist.

Some time the two hugged, Rani was indeed the grandson closest to her grandmother. The youngest of the three brothers was most spoiled to his grandmother.

“What do you want Grandma to introduce to someone, there is a mining engineer mistress Tessa's son who just returned from abroad. Looks like he is still alone at this time,” said the grandmother stretched her arms and cupped Rani's face.

Rani rolled her eyeballs, “Do not try to match me with the son of an acquaintance of Grandma. Right now I don't need the dominant man in my life, I just want to enjoy the holidays in this place quietly.”

“As far as you go, baby.” Grandma swipes Rani's nose, “But if you change your mind, Grandma is ready to help.”

“That will never happen,” denied Rani again, and her grandmother just laughed hearing that.

The sound of a knock on the door distracts the two of them, “Gosh, it's almost Grandma forgot!”

Rani frowned, looking at her grandmother who rushed up and hurriedly walked open the door.

“Sorry to disturb you, the workers have finished preparing the table. They are waiting for the next Lady's order.”

Grandma turned to look at Rani, then pointed her index finger out the door. “Grandmother should come out now, you should take a shower immediately and get ready. We have a small party to welcome you here.”

“Oh yes? Grandma did it for me?”

Grandma nodded small, Rani straightened her back. He got out of the bed and looked out the window. He lifted the curtain and opened the wide shutters. There was a flurry of workers who set the table preparing to cook barbecue dishes in his grandmother's yard.

After the death of her grandmother, Rani immediately unpacked her clothes and arranged them in the drawers of the closet shelves. He left one of his clothes for him to wear that night.

A beautiful blue sleeveless dress of hers patterned with small flowers along the knee, Rani took a peck and smiled looking at her reflection in the mirror.

Rani immediately cleaned herself up, the warm water that soaked her body slowly made her refreshed. An hour later, he was done with her. The scented aroma of cooking that was emanating from outside the window of his open room, tickled his stomach.

In the kitchen of Maggie's ranch house, neighbors, especially mothers, came to help after hearing that the woman was going to have a small party to welcome her granddaughter.

Grandma introduced Rani to all of them, and Rani immediately intervened to help even though the mothers there prevented her and told her to sit sweet. Unfortunately, all of them were ignored by Rani, she just washed her hands and sat on the floor like the others.

Finally they let Rani help, “Well, this is better.”

Like most women in general, when gathered together like today, they immediately asked Rani about her status.

“I'm still single Mom Mom, just left to go with my fiancee. Now again pulled over while in this place, itung-itung aja aja there is a beautiful soul mate at heart.”

Rani responded to the questions of the mothers there while joking, she did not feel it was important to hide her status who had just broken up. This made it easy to blend in and be accepted by them.

“Ember! Uh, seriously beautiful Neng just broke up?”

“Ember,” says Rani.

The atmosphere became boisterous, Rani's cheerful attitude and her relaxed style of speech eroded the sense of arrogance in the hearts of those around her. They all know how successful the ranch is run by mistress Maggie Rani's grandmother, but her family remains humble and always willing to share.

The sound of the footsteps of the horse distracts Rani, he stops her from peeling potatoes and runs looking out of the house.

King jumped down from his horse followed by two of his men, his face was grimacing with pain. They walked along to the terrace of the farmhouse.

“What happened to you?” rani asked approaching King's seat.

King looked up and was silent for a moment looking at him, he grimaced while holding his left arm.

“What are you hurt?” following her instincts, Rani spontaneously touches King's arm.

“For God's sake, stop!” sentak King gripped Rani's arm, surprising Rani.

The man looked at him with a huff. “My arm is still swollen, and I can't continue my work here for a few days.”

“Actually what happened to your arm?” ask Rani again.

“King was bitten by a snake, not venomous but enough to make his hand swollen and he also fell from his horse.” Obviously a man of his.

“Pity,” said Rani was thrown away just like that, she immediately closed her mouth quickly when she saw King's sharp gaze on her.

“You don't have to look at me for pity like that, I can still walk as usual. But I have to ask Maggie for permission to rest for a few days,” King said before he walked into the house and met his grandmother.

Rani sighed, staring at King's back who was away walking into his car. A small party for him would definitely feel different without King being there.
