"But you don't have to go to this place too, do you, Mila? Honestly, I thought you were mad at me" Rika said, staring fixedly at Mila.
"Anged?" Mila smiled obliquely then turned her face, staring at the stream flowing under the bridge.
"Why am I angry?" continued.
Rika stood next to Mila and then noticed the beautiful scenery presented in front of her eyes.
"I think you're angry because you saw me together with Rangga last afternoon" said Rika with a sad face.
"Rika, do you love Mas Rangga?" ask Mila suddenly. He glanced at Rika for a few seconds, then refocused on the scene before him.
Rika reflexively turned her head towards Mila with her eyebrows intertwined. "Why are you asking like that, Mila? You are my best friend and I know that you like Rangga. There's no way I'm doing that cornering you? What happened last night was not the same as you think. At that time Rangga and I talked about ...."
Rika stopped her words. He looked around then asked Mila in a quiet whisper.
"Mila, is your prince here?"
Mila spread her gaze. "Nothing, why?" ask Mila curious.
"Last afternoon, Rangga and I talked about your prince, Mil. You know what that magical man did to Mas Rangga?"
Mila shook her head slowly and then began to focus on her best friend. "What has Prince Hans done to Rangga?"
"Kata mas Rangga, your prince has already shown his form. In addition to scaring mas Rangga, he also had time to threaten him. That's why Rangga is afraid to approach you," Rika said so seriously.
"What!" peek at Mila with perfectly rounded eyes. He looked upset after hearing the words from his best friend.
"This is Prince Hans's work! Akh, this can't be allowed!" upset Mila with a reddened face, restraining her anger.
"But, Mila! Please, don't carry my name, yeah. I was afraid that the creature suddenly appeared before me and then threatened me because I had dared to interfere in your affairs," Rika said with an anxious face.
"You take it easy, I'll never carry your name."
Mila grunted in annoyance. Suddenly he remembered the necklace given by Prince Hans who was still coiled around his neck. Mila felt the beautiful thing then pulled it hard.
"I should be able to take this necklace off. Got to!" muttered Mila while continuing to pull the necklace violently.
Rika looked in wonder towards Mila. "What's wrong with you, Mil? Do you want to take this necklace off?" rika asked while holding the hand of Mila who kept trying to pull the beautiful necklace.
"Yes, help me remove this necklace, Rika," said Mila as she pulled her hair forward, so Rika could easily remove the necklace hook.
"What's the matter, Mil? Isn't this your grandmother's necklace? So, why take it off? What if it's lost?" ask Rika curious.
"I'm sorry I lied to you, Rika. Actually this necklace is not the relic of my late grandmother, but it belongs to Prince Hans. The man gave it to me because he said this necklace was mine in the past" Mila said.
Rika was silent for a moment while looking at her best friend. Although it sounds absurd, Rika believes that her best friend is not lying to her.
"Wouldn't that guy get mad if you took this necklace off, Mil?" ask Rika who suddenly hesitated to help Mila remove the necklace.
"Nothing will happen. Trust me. And who knows once I get rid of this necklace, that magical man will soon walk away from me. Right?" added Mila while smiling faintly to Rika.
"How, Rica? That work?" asked Mila who was impatient to release the necklace from her neck and with that she hoped to escape from the supernatural man.
"No, Mil. This necklace hook is really hard and hard to open. And for a necklace of this size, it is not difficult to let go," said Rika.
"Haduh ... So how, dong?" Mila was desperate.
"Shortly, I'll try again" said Rika.
Rika refocused on the necklace hook. He tried to remove the necklace from Mila's neck while muttering. Read all the prayers he prayed.
After a few minutes later.
"Yess, I finally got it off!" rika said with such enthusiasm.
Rika pulls the necklace until it breaks from Mila's neck and then hands it back to her best friend.
"This is the necklace, Mil."
"Well, thank goodness! Thank you," said Mila as she grabbed the necklace and then watched the beautiful object carefully.
"I don't care even if my head has to drift once!" he muttered while smiling cynically.
Without a second thought, Mila rushed to throw the necklace with all her energy towards the river.
Plunggs!
"Mila! Why was the necklace thrown away!" peekik Rika while staring at the ripples on the surface of the water after Mila threw the necklace.
"Once, let it go. I no longer care about that thing, even though the necklace is expensive and can make me rich suddenly" said Mila steadily.
Rika breathed heavily. "I agree with you too, Mil. Why defend that thing if your life isn't calm."
"really right? timpal Mila's.
"Ehm, we'd better go home, Mil. It's almost dark," Rika persuaded as she glanced at the watch that was coiled around her wrist.
Mila nodded slowly. "All right."
Rika grabs Mila's hand and they step together to the bus stop.
Meanwhile.
Prince Hans looked at Mila and Rika who had now sailed away from the bridge. The unseen man continued to stare at Mila's back with a gaze that was so difficult to decipher.
"Why are you doing this, Aurora? I never thought it would conquer your heart now, so difficult compared to before" Prince Hans said, clenching his right hand tightly.
The red diamond necklace is now in the hands of Prince Hans. He promised himself that he would return the beautiful thing to the owner.
