The Crown

Darkness

"How was today? Is the lesson hard?" asked Arzhan when he picked her up at school. He clasped my hand tightly as the other hand swiftly at the wheel.

"Lumayan, there are two daily replays."

"What do you want to eat?"

"I'm thirsty, Brother. Eating ice cream, yeah."

"Later Papa gets angry, yesterday your teeth hurt, right?"

"It's healed, really. Eat ice cream, yes, brother. Please." I whine. Spoiled in Arzhan's burly hands. However, he still did not agree with what I asked.

Upset, I chose to be silent without a word while in the car. Hoping that he would ask or persuade me not to get angry, it was nil. He even kept quiet.

"Dear, smile, dong."

"Males!"

"Let's not buy ice cream if you're still pouting."

I'm turning. She smiled sweetly at me.

"So we get ice cream?" I am enthusiastic and hopeful.

"There's a condition."

"What?"

Arzhan pointed at his cheek. Ever since we officially dated, she was more spoiled than me. Maybe that too.

The cup!

A kiss I was about to give on her cheek, landed on her lips. She looked over quickly as I was about to kiss her cheek.

"Dad, brother! cheating tauu."

Arzhan pulled out a hand and kissed the back of my hand many times while laughing.

Even though she does this often, still, my feelings are like the first person to do it. Heart is beating fast. My face's warming.

After buying ice cream, we went to see. Shop for some clothes and accessories, after which we go out to eat before going home. The last day of school is Saturday.

"Dek, Lu why, anyway, this back looks so happy? Like his own smile, at home even wear neat clothes, fragrant, it's face wear in all colors," said Fateeh when we were enjoying tea in the afternoon. Sunday is the day you all wait for. We will gather together in the back garden. Seeing Mama and Papa taking care of their plants.

"So, how should I go? Clown, smelly, coiled, ugly, is that it?" I immediately lifted my head from his thigh.

"Yes, why not just get rich. So my eyes aren't tainted by the sight of the only ugly thing."

"Sister!" I bit Fateeh's arm. He yelled at Mama and Papa. When I got there, I got on top of him and hit him a few times. Of course, it does not use any meaningful energy.

"Now, heh!" Arzhan approached us who were dueling. He lifted my body and moved away from Fateeh.

"Awas you, yeah. My good looks are 000.01 percent because of being scratched and beaten by you."

"Bodo very! Let's not do it all." I'm still reeling from Arzhan's embrace. It still feels unsatisfied to hit the carrot and has no feeling of it.

"Ssst. Don't be angry, it'll be beautiful." Arzhan tidied up my messy hair. He was still hugging my body from behind as we sat on the sofa.

"Biarin, he hugged Arzhan. It's mah scented, the body is big, handsome again." I hugged Arzhan tightly. Take a chance in the narrow.

"Gue is also handsome."

"Yes, but peot, weeee!"

"When are you adults, anyway. Every time we meet, we always fight."

"I'm sweet, you know, Pah. I was just about to make peace. I'm bobo in brother's lap, uh he's even blazing the flames of hostility. Yeah, I'm flush with gasoline."

"That's what you're doing hugging Arzhan. He can't move to drink tea." Mama's coming.

"Biarin. He's my brother anyway. He's not a." I pointed at Fateeh.

"Tell me, Lu!"

"Udah dong, a thunderous storm. Dizziness of mama's head."

I smiled in my heart. Hugging Arzhan not as a sister, but as a lover. It turns out that what I was afraid of all this time, was wrong. The proof is that I can still make out despite Mama and Papa Indra.

Spoiled on lover disguised sodara. Pretty potent.

"Later Monday, Mama and Papa will go out of town. Maybe two or three days."

"Ikuuut."

"You're going to school, Si."

"But Mama, I'm afraid of breaking a bone here is the same as her, tuh." I pointed at Fateeh again.

"There's Brother Arzhan looking after you."

"Sister Arzhan sometimes comes home. I'm home alone."

"No, I promise as long as you're not around, you're not going to go home."

"Promise?"

Arzhan nodded.

Monday has arrived. After breakfast, Mama and Papa went with two suitcases filled with their belongings.

It was sad to see them waving from inside the car.

"Haha. Get ready, Dek."

"Fateeh, stop!"

I hid behind Arzhan's body.

"Gue first, yes, brother. O, yes. Today I came home late as he thought. I want a college assignment. I may not be home."

"You're saying that nginep. Where and in whose house?"

"Yes, Brother."

I'm still hiding behind Arzhan's body. While peeking out from the gap between Arzhan's hand and body.

"We're also leaving, yuk. You'll have bad luck."

"Yes, Brother."

The day passed so quickly. It felt like I had just arrived at school, and now I was in the car heading home.

There was nothing else to do but change clothes, eat, and also fall down until I fell asleep and woke up when the sky had turned black.

Trash!

The lights suddenly went off.

"Sister!" I'm yelling. However, there is no reply.

Where is Arzhan.

Darkness is the most frightening thing to me. The shadow of what you used to do, again flashed across your head. Like a movie being played.

My throat is dry, my chest is like a big mace. Stuffy. Even to scream I couldn't.

Papah .. please, Pah.

That's all I remember right now. I hope Papa Indra comes from behind the door.

Brak!

"Activity ...."

Arzhan´s. Thankfully.

"Darling, are you all right?" tanyanya hugged me tightly. From her heartbeat I knew she was worried about me.

"Let's get out." He took my body and took me upstairs. His room.

"Fast fix it now!" his orders were on some servants who followed us.

"Wait outside." He re-ruled when we got to his doorstep. After laying me on the bed, Arzhan came back out with a lighting device. I can finally breathe.

"Sorry I'm late."

I shook my head slowly.

"Why is the power down?"

"Eitherway. The generator is dead. Why are the servants at home. Until it can be like this."

"Don't be angry, Brother."

"Still congested? Wanna drink?"

"No. Brother hugged me. I'm afraid."

Arzhan got up and lay down beside me.

"Sleep here." He pointed his hand. I slept with my hands together as a pillow.

At first I just slept to get rid of the fear. However, the longer it took, something went wrong with my heart. I feel like a marathon runner.

"Sister, I'm back in the room, yeah."

"It's still dark."

Darkness is a barrier for me right now.

"Sleep, I'll take care of you."

I turned my face to see Arzhan. He looked around and we looked at each other.

There's something I want to talk about, it's just that everything disappears when I see his face.

Arzhan stroked my face gently. His hands were so cold and trembling a little.

"Why is my brother's hand shaking."

"Itsia." He whispered softly.

Whether the darkness tonight will make my life dark in the future. What can I do, in fact, Arzhan's gentle touches make me forget everything.
