The Charm of my Highness Princess

Kado

After cleansing himself and worshiping at dawn. Luna made breakfast for him and his father. The Papa was exhausted after work and came home at dawn, he fell asleep that morning.

Luna makes red bean meat soup, her Papa favorite. For the recipe he saw it on the internet while the ingredients were already available from yesterday.

Jeno snorted the aroma of ripe meat that aroused her taste. He woke up and went straight out of the room. Looking for the source of the aroma that makes his stomach move even heard the sound of rumbling because of hunger.

"Hemm, what are you cooking, honey?" ask Jeno

Deg ...

Hearing the words of affection come out of Jeno's mouth, making Luna pound, even though only the usual affection Jeno throws from small.

"SOP meat pah,"

"Well, can you?" ask Jeno

"That's an understatement" said Luna

Jeno walks into the kitchen and approaches Luna. He saw the SOP was almost finished, while on the table there was flour, egg shells and chocolate powder.

"What is this crus doing? A cake? Didn't Papa buy you a cake?"

"Huum ya want to try to make your own Pa, hehe,"

"Stir the dough is not that. Gini way," Jeno stood behind Luna while holding Luna's hand holding the folding and one hand holding the side of the basin.

Duh why am I behind Luna, so grogahkan? inner Jeno.

Then she calmed herself down to not look nervous

"Comb the dough down the basin, pull it up and back. And so on until mixed evenly," said Jeno while practicing.

While Luna felt the warmth from Jeno's hand. He also felt a bit of nervousness from the fingers of his Papa, but Luna was not too focused on Jeno. He instead focused on himself because Luna was also a little nervous and misbehaved, "I-iya pah,"

"Yaudah, now try stirring yourself,"

"Why make a cake? Learn from where?" ask Luna

"Grandmother," said Jeno while remembering the late mother of his Grandmother, which means Luna's great-grandmother

Jeno began to tell stories when she was Junior High who often helped her Grandmother make a variety of cakes, but Jeno was most anti-cooking. Because at that time he did not like the smell of raw onions. Unlike the current one, when he was an adult especially when he took care of Luna. Jeno also played the role of Mom.

"Papa has always been the best for Luna" Luna said, hugging Jeno.

But Jeno dodges because she sees a dirty Luna apron

"Eits don't hug, it's a dirty apron. Papa's clothes are clean" said Jeno

"Papa mopelin, nih eat tuh clean," Luna also took a mug of the dough with her index finger and then released it in the nose of the sharp Jeno, also in the cheeks to dirty the brewpub.

"Luna, watch out for you. Papa couldn't reply, either" and Jeno quickly picked up a lump of dough and threw it on Luna's cheeks and forehead.

They replied to each other with jokes and laughter. Then suddenly Luna remembered the soup that had not been turned off. Fortunately, the fire was small.

"Good damn forget," Luna immediately turned off the stove.

While Jeno had already taken a plate containing rice and an empty bowl for her soup.

"Hmm must be good" Jeno said with a smile

"Must dong" said Luna.

Jeno also brought her plates and bowls that had been filled with food to the dining table. He started eating it while the food was still hot.

"Ahmmmm," Jeno held back the heat of her mouth but she held back, Luna who saw him chuckled

"Pa, eat it slowly dong, not hot what just mateng,"

"Abis is so hungry," Jeno took a pitcher of water and poured it in her glass to neutralize her tongue

"Oh yeah, Luna wants what gift?" ask Jeno

"Come what? Whatever you want Papa takamin, want a lot can also. But don't be weird, yeah,"

"Seriously?" ask Luna

He also remembered the adult novel he had just read yesterday, Virus' novel Promiscuity After. There the protagonist asks for three requests for his birthday gift, one of which is a kiss.

Do I follow the story Cassie ma Barra hihi jaga think what the hell I inner Luna

"Hemm gini aja deh Luna prefers to take it with a challenge. If Luna succeeds. Luna only asked for one request and had to be obeyed. But if Luna fails, whatever card from Papa, Luna accepts,"

"Can, deal huh?" jeno thrust her thumb toward Luna, and Luna held her thumb together towards Jeno's finished sign.

"Deal" said Luna

Then Jeno gave up a small box-shaped package with a dull gift wrapper.

"Luna. He left it to the sisters before he died. I don't know if your mama has a feeling that she's soon to be old. The wrapper is scrapped, Papa kept it until now. Because he told me to give it to him at the age of 17. Papa himself doesn't know the contents. Even the nurse who is being reassured cannot say it because she respects her patients" Jeno said

"Cado? From Mama?" Luna received the gift, then fell silent then her eyes glazed over, not how long her tears dripped.

"Mama.hiks," muttered Luna.

Jeno patted Luna's arm slowly so as not to cry on her birthday.

"After eating, open? Papa also wants to know what the contents are, but it is better for Luna to open alone. Because it looks like the gift was kept a secret for Papa. Otherwise, your mom would have told Papa to wrap up instead of a nun" Jeno said

"Hmm maybe then Mama didn't want to make Papa sad. If you say you want to go far, Papa will be sad, right?" luna said

"Yes," said Jeno.

After that, they finished their morning meal. Luna is also out of school due to Christmas and new year holidays. While the activity of making cakes he continued and just put it in the oven.

While waiting for the cake to ripen, Luna brought a gift from her mother in the room. With curiosity and heart racing. After the wrapping is released from the box. Now what is seen is a ring box but not a ring in it.

"Memory cards?" luna muttered.

Luna just put it in an external adapter that can be connected to the computer via USB. Then Luna turned on her computer which was in a standby position.

There is only one folder that says 'For Luna'. Soon Luna clicked on the folder and in the folder there was a long video.

Luna shed tears. Look at the face of his mother, with camera footage that is not clear because of the resolution of 1 Megapixel. But that alone made Luna happy.

The woman's face was small, looking thin, under her eyes sunken and blackened. Her hair was cut off, her lips pale. Then from the recording the mother wears pink lipstick.

"Hai Luna, this is Mama.

Luna who saw him also cried, "Hey Mama," she answered as if they were making a video call.

Then Marisa wishes her 17th daughter a happy birthday because she feels, this is the right time to tell her story to Luna.

Starting from her pregnancy, then the Tsunami disaster that she never forgot and.

"Papa Jeno, a very nice person dear. He loves you so sincerely. Mama...," her mother's speech stopped.

"Mama didn't love him when we got married. He also did not want to force Mama. Even to be honest, Luna... Papa Jeno has never touched Mama. Because my mother did not love him at the time. And when Mama started to love her, Mama got sick. He really is an understanding man.., ahhhh..," Marisa stopped talking. His head felt pain again. Then he immediately held her down.

"Mama just want to make a message, never hurt Papa Jeno, baby, Mama is grateful to meet people like her. Sorry you can't accompany me to adulthood. Goodbye my daughter, Mama always loves you," said Marisa then waving with a smile.

Video recording has stopped.

Luna was crying, "Ma...Mama...," he hit the computer screen so that the duration of the video is not interrupted.

She still misses her mother. Luna also has a videotape immortalized by Jeno. But Jeno had no footage of her Mama's video moments after the surgery and had her head shaved. So as soon as Luna saw the footage back then, she was shocked. And can immediately feel the suffering of his mother who had brain cancer.

Luna repeated the tape and cried many times.

Jeno hears Luna's voice from outside the room crying calling her Mama. He also did not want to disturb Luna and chose to do other activities that clean the yard and grow crops.
