Poor Rain

12

Lekky was standing quietly not far from where we were. He looked calm, yet a dangerous calm. In his hand he held something like a bean, and chewed it in his mouth. He looked around with a face without expression.

"Mr Lekky.." Call Curly affectionately, He has changed his figure to small again. He floated happily towards Lekky. I was relieved when He came.

I looked at Lekky. He spread his arms to welcome me. I ran straight into his arms. Lekky didn't say anything. She then let go of his embrace, embracing my shoulder to go follow him.

"Daughter Yuki.." Calling Ziyar made me stop my steps. Ziyar was still lying on the ground, his breathing was being decapitated. "Prince...He never forgot the Princess one bit..."

I looked at Ziyar for a moment then turned around to leave.

Without Him saying it though, I already know it...

My disguise has been uncovered. I no longer have to hide my face and hair. The news of my relationship with Lekky is getting more and more audible. I wear ordinary cloth clothes. After dressing up neatly, I went to the King's palace to face the Holy Priestess and King Bardansah as Princess Yuki.

The welcome at the palace as I expected, a cynical and judgmental gaze led to me. I don't give a shit. The king several times said something insinuating, Prince Riana was there, Shut up and just looked at me from her place. I felt relieved when I finally got out of the palace hall.

I went straight to the school grounds where Lekky was. Soon Jambaran feast. Feast of love if in my world there. On this feast day a wife or lover can fast by not consuming any food other than rice and water alone for a week until the day of Jambaran celebration is held. Wives and lovers fast to ask for safety and other good prayers for their partners. On the day of the celebration, everyone can exchange bracelets from spun threads to show their affection. I've made some bracelets in my spare time.

"You don't have to do it, haven't you been a good wife to her all this time" Lekky said as I offered her lunch and simply spooned the white rice on my plate.

I am fasting to pray for Prince Sera.

"She remains my rightful husband. Besides when else can I be filial to him" I said in response to Lekky's insinuations.

We ate together under a tree. Actually the kingdom does not want to hold a celebration of Jambaran considering the conditions that are happening. But Lekky insisted on making. Not Lekky's name if his wish is not granted.

Lekky himself arranged all the preparations. I'm a little grateful, at least He didn't do anything to put his life at risk.

On the ground are being built various equipment for the celebration of Jambaran later. I saw two Argueda soldiers watching me from far away. Ziyar was braver than I expected. After my disguise was uncovered, she fearlessly came to my room and moved all my belongings to Prince Sera's room. He gave me a servant to help me every day and also a bodyguard to escort me. As if dying at Curly's hands wasn't a big deal to him.

I've said I don't need it and forbid the Guards to follow me, But He doesn't heed it.

This unyielding attitude of his is what might make Prince Sera trust him so much. Perhaps also because of this nature, which made him successfully apply his position in the highest ranks of the kingdom.

"After this what are your plans ?" My toot.

"Of course, Come on.." Welcome happy.

"Where are we going ?" I asked when Lekky pulled me down the streets of the city that began to be fitted with a special decoration of the jambaran celebration.

"You will be my partner in the opening celebration of Jambaran. I've unpacked your closet. All your clothes are too childish for your age"

"You unpacked my closet ?" Pekikku can't believe it.

Lekky did not answer. He turned up the stairs of a building and opened the door. A high-end clothing store. I smelled lavender when I entered the room.

"Can I help you ?" Ask a waiter to approach politely.

"Where are the women's clothes ?"

The waiter walked the way. I was surprised to find Prince Riana and Princess Marsha in one corner with Nobles Xasfir and his wife. It seems they are shopping preparing for their wedding needs.

Princess Marsha looked at me cynically.

Lekky headed for the women's shirt and started picking. "I don't want to wear it" I said when I saw Lekky putting red clothes on my body. Lekky put down the shirt dissatisfied. He chose clothes again. I finally saw a happy look in Lekky's eyes. Bright red clothes with sexy cuts on the pull out.

"No...I'm not gonna want to wear that fucking shirt" I refused right away when I saw Lekky's eyes. But as before Lekky did not care.

"We will measure the body of the lady first to fit the clothes worn" said the maid while receiving the clothes that Lekky had chosen.

"No need, his size..."

Lekky called my size very precise. Surprised me. With the professional waiter it records the instructions of Lekky.

"I want this outfit delivered to my place tomorrow" Lekky told the waiter.

"I didn't know you liked to memorize women's body sizes" I quipped as the maid went to store Lekky's clothes.

Lekky chuckles. He walked towards the clothes of the man. I rushed to catch him. "Let me go" I said, pushing Lekky away as she was about to pick a dress for him.
