The Exchanged Princess

Rican Decision (part 1)

Happy reading ....

🌿

The day passed so quickly, the students were already approaching the Mid-Semester Exam (UTS). The number of practical tasks they have to complete makes time at school feel quickly passed.

Annisa has been able to adapt to her school environment. He also started speaking fluently in English. His friends and teachers help a lot if there is still one grammar and another. Now Annisa began to enjoy the way of learning in this school which is certainly different from ordinary High School.

Annisa is learning more. There are many new things he has to learn. Including other foreign languages. Annisa so more often spend time in her room, especially on weekends like this.

Annisa came out of her room. It was only Raydita that he saw in the living room. Annisa approached Raydita while crying like she was looking for something.

"Dit, Brother Ehan is invisible. Where's where?" annisa asked Raydita who was sitting on the sofa.

"don't know. Maybe again hangout," said Raydita without looking.

"Father with mom, where?"

"Go." Answer's short. "Eh, Nis. Yuk street!" take Raydita.

"Where?"

"To mall. Refreshing the brain for a moment. I'm sorry," lamented Raydita.

"Come on. When?"

"Next year. Yes now, laah," delik Raydita.

"I mean, what time is it?"

"Half an hour, how? I want to take a shower first" said Raydita.

"OKAY. There you take a shower. I want permission with mom."

"OK deh. But we took a taxi. Let's just exclaim."

"All right," proposed Annisa.

"Related."

"Yee said make it fun."

"Yes not riding an angkot as well" said Raydita as she passed to her room.

Annisa smiled faintly at Raydita's hasty steps. He calls Rianti to ask permission to go with Raydita.

Elsewhere ....

The sound of steps from the heels worn by Rika was clearly heard in the hospital corridor that looked quiet. Rika stopped her steps and leaned against one of the poles facing the garden.

His face was lethargic, his gaze was also faint. Not because he was tired of working, but because of what he just heard.

Rida, why hide all this from her?

Rika continued her steps. He returned home because his job was done.

Arriving home, Rika exclaims to call Rida. Seeing her sister's car in the garage, Rida must be home.

Rika walked towards Rida's room. Just as Rida opened her bedroom door, Rika arrived there.

"What's up, brother?"

"I want to talk" said Rika who barged into Rida's room.

Rida looked in wonder, and wondered what the big brother would talk about.

"How can you hide this from me, huh?" toodong.

"Hide what?" Rida asked back.

"If Doctor Veli doesn't tell me, when will you hide it? Idol-."

"That's for your own good, Rida. There's no other meaning," let's Rika.

"really? But I don't feel okay with what you've decided for my life" said Rida with teary eyes.

"OKAY. Brother is sorry. But just this again, listen to me. You have to take medication."

"I don't want to" said Rida.

Rika looked at her sister. Cervical cancer stage 3, that's what he heard from Doctor Veli, one of the acquaintances who is also a friend of Rida.

According to Doctor Veli, Rida refused treatment that should have been done in advance. Veli can no longer persuade Rida and finally decides to tell Rika.

"I don't live for anyone. No one expected me to remain in the world. So why am I taking that medication? I'm used to being in pain alone. So let me slowly die," said Rida slowly while wiping the tears that dripped in the eye.

Rika was stunned to hear that. During this time Rika thought, Rida enjoyed the freedom she had. But behind her indifference, this time Rika saw how fragile Rida was.

Rida passed out of the room. He did not want to see Rika's expression of pity on him.

Yeah, after Sandy, Raydita, it's the disease now. Rida was resigned, rather desperate. Let alone treatment, Rida even has been reluctant to check her condition.

Rika sits lethargic on the edge of Rida's bed. Staring blankly at a photo above the nightstand. There's Raydita and Rida there. Together in a frame that is an engineering.

So wanted Rida with Raydita, to deliberately edit photos of herself and Raydita to look harmonious as a family. Rika sighed. Then call someone, "Can aunt talk to you?"

"...."

"We'll meet there." Rika ended her call. He hurried to leave Rida's room.

***

"Who, Dit?" ask Annisa.

"Tante Rica. He said he wanted to talk to me" said Raydita lazily.

Annisa did not ask further. The car that Mang Asep drove entered the basement of a large mall in the capital.

They should be disappointed, because Rianti does not allow his children to use online transportation let alone public transportation. Not only that, Leo also controls them everywhere.

Raydita and Annisa start exploring in the shopping mall area. With pleasure, Raydita invited Annisa to shop at the stores of several well-known brands.

Annisa looks hesitant to buy those fantastic valuables. But because Raydita wanted them to use similar items, Annisa also agreed.

Raydita's phone rang. Seeing Rika's name, Raydita lazily answered the call, "Yes, Auntie. Where are you going to meet?"

Raydita sighed, then said: "OK." The call was terminated.

"To McD, yuk. Meet Aunt Rika, all lunch," take Raydita to Annisa.

"Come on. Is the doctor there?" Raydita nodded lazily.

"Why you?"

"Kaya, Aunt Rika wants to talk about him," said Raydita.

"Him? Oh, you mean Miss Rida?"

"Yes, who else." Delicateness.

Annisa clasped Raydita's hand, while Raydita could only sigh. Behind them, Leo still followed while carrying groceries.

"What if he was there too? Could you, right?" ask Raydita quietly.

"It's okay. If the Doctor's Mom is with her sister, you're the same as me, too" Annisa said casually. Makes Raydita snort while smashing her smile.

"Yes. It's up to you to say what. But to be honest, I'm not ready to talk about him. Since then, Auntie Rika has never called me again. Suddenly called a meeting," said Raydita slowly.

"Udahlah. Meet me first," Annisa suggested, and was taken lightly by Raydita.
