My Husband is a Ningrat

Chapters 12. [A day with Kaysan ]

...I don't know we're impossible...

...Why do we always meet?...

...I don't know this heart has to dodge...

...But the truth is I can't...

...•••...

I heard the song from the radio that Kaysan turned on.

I chose to sit on the back bench while Nina sat in the front with Kaysan. I couldn't bear to be close to Kaysan, my heart would have jumped like a frog. Scrubbing with a hopeful tone. Hope something inside is delivered.

...That smile. Just delaying the wound....

I was like getting carried away by the atmosphere of the song, until Nina's call broke my daydream.

"What?" I said.

Nina looked at me. "Usually if there's this song you like to sing, why now just shut up, Jani."

Why should Nina say, I am in my heart. "My voice is gone, Nin." I replied lazily.

"Isn't this the song that represents how you feel?" Nina turned her head towards me and towards Kaysan in turn. While the man was just being a good listener.

I put my index finger in front of my lips. "Good friends don't reveal their friends' secrets." I said, leaning against the car seat.

"Yes - yeah." Finally Nina chose silence, but her smile looked suspicious.

I don't care, I just keep staring at the scenery outside the window. If we usually ride the motorbike and many times stop to fix luggage. Now everything feels made easier thanks to guests in the morning who have snatched children's food rations.

I promised to consider him a friend, I had to accept him.

Although there must be distance. I'm afraid the request to be a ghost by the Queen Mother is considered to be the thing he should do. I know that in the kingdom, the King and Queen's orders are written or not to be obeyed by their subjects, including their children.

I looked at Kaysan after goal.

Sometimes our gazes meet, but I immediately avoid. And so on until finally Kaysan's car reached the place we were headed.

From far away the children ran to immediately swarm Kaysan cars because it is very rare for cool cars to cross their area. They were like amazed, trying to get close but afraid if the car owner was fierce. Whispers occur from the lips to the adjacent ear.

I smiled broadly. They don't know if it was me and Nina. What else brings the Prince that surely they don't know who.

Nina giggles, "Your kids, Jani. mumbled."

"Bell, your children too, Nin." I chuckled, while Kaysan was still with his mouth clenched. He was silent but observing.

"Down, I need oxygen" I said straightforwardly.

The rainy season makes this area look green, teak tree leaves begin to bud and develop, typical grasses of mountains and fertile valleys. Making the area under the hill is often in the wind of the cold valley. Very different from the time of the dry season, dry, arid and hot.

Kaysan opened the car door automatically, Nina and I got off. Welcomed by children who are shocked to see their teachers come. It was too late than usual hours. But they are still waiting for us.

"Miss Jani.., Ms. Nina...,"

"Miss Jani.., Ms. Nina...,"

They're scrambling to kiss my hand and Nina. Me and Nina smiled and stroked their heads one by one. The number is not much, just calculated using fingers.

Kaysan got out of his car, then opened the trunk door. The faces of these boys were even more amazed to see who the handsome man I was carrying was.

"But Ma'am..." Nina placed her index finger on her lips, "Salim karo mas'e" Nina said as she pointed at Kaysan.

These boys suddenly lined up to shake hands with Kaysan who gave his genuine smile that I had just seen for the first time.

I picked up the luggage in the trunk of the car, carried my backpack and took down the luggage, as did Nina. While Kaysan was finally engrossed in chirping with the children he had suspected earlier.

Finished shaking hands with Kaysan, the children immediately stormed into the study house. Take the frontmost place.

The room here is not big enough, even we have to sit on the floor with a mat. The walls are made of wood produced by the people's garden here, one of the additional income from cutting down trees. Unfortunately, even though the tree here also includes a protective tree from natural disasters such as landslides.

Kaysan's presence here made me lose focus and Nina noticed, "Be your self, Miss Jani" Nina said as she patted me on the shoulder.

I let out a long sigh, I saw Kaysan also sitting cross-legged behind the children. His smile was as fluffy as ever. Really messed up my heart. But I'm also a kasian, usually he gets an honorable seat, now he has to sit equally with the common people. But I hope he understands.

I cleared my throat, started giving materials and teaching them alternately until

finally the English lesson went on as usual, I happily taught the children one by one. Laughing and laughing as usual. The English they spoke sounded medhok in the ear and it was funny.

For a moment my gaze was fixed on him, the eyes that I had acknowledged earlier could not be separated from staring at me. The look that scared my heart, I was too afraid to fall in love with him and it seemed like I became a coward for this time.

•••

The lesson ended right adzan Dzuhur reverberated. We flocked to the mosque because this is the rule of Nina, it is not permissible to leave the five prayers.

Kaysan walked ahead of me and Nina because it seemed that she was getting along with the children.

I grabbed Nina's shoulder. Putting my head on her soft shoulder.

"There is no need to be forced, if indeed a mate must have a way. If not, friends are enough. There's no need to be afraid." Nina's advice that I nod.

We arrived at the mushola, I took the ablution water and began to fill the shaf. But

I don't know why the prayer this time is not as solemn as usual. My mind wandered somewhere, thinking more precisely of the man three meters away from me. He is becoming a priest. Syahdu is his voice.

After the Dzuhur prayer was over, cloudy cloud covered the sky this afternoon. The wind blew fiercely, turning the fresh atmosphere cold. I rubbed my arm repeatedly, I forgot to bring my jacket because I was in a hurry this morning.

Kaysan saw me, he walked to his car and took something. Something black, which he brought towards me. I started to panic, because Nina was already inside the study room while I was just sitting outside precisely on the wooden bench made by local residents.

"Wear this, you'll get sick." Kaysan put something black in my hand.

I spread it, "Jacket?"

"Yes, put on that jacket. It seems like it is going to rain." said Kaysan while sitting next to me, our distance leaving only a handful of hands. He was so close, I started to get panicked as my heart started beating. It's not a safe distance, I'm afraid she heard it.

I'm wearing that jacket, sure it's raining so hard this afternoon.

Me and Nina were worried, this roof made of asbestos if it was not strong enough to withstand the swift rain would have collapsed.

I squeezed my cold hand. Nervous.

"So uncomfortable are you next to me?" Kaysan started talking, but it seemed like something was stuck in my throat. I couldn't answer that question, I just kept quiet. I hope you are worried about two possibilities.

I took two of my defenses this afternoon. Heart and roof shade this room.
