Mila put her ears up well and listened to Prince Hans' story about her love trip with Aurora that was full of twists and turns.
"Yes, Lord ..." muttered Mila with teary eyes.
"Had it been that day that I had not followed King Edward's orders to hunt with the bodyguards, it might have been that Aurora and I were still together" Prince Hans said. There was such deep regret on his handsome face.
Mila was silent for a moment while thinking about something in her head. "I'm sorry, Prince Hans. But ... If it's true that I'm the incarnation of Aurora, your lover, then why can't I remember anything that's happened to me before?"
Prince Hans breathed a heavy breath. "That question haunts my mind, Aurora. However, I take this as one of my trials. I have to fight for the umpteenth time to get your heart back" he said.
Mila stared fixedly at the two beautiful eyeballs belonging to Prince Hans then asked the supernatural man again.
"Prince, you once told me that the calculation of time between my world and yours is different. If only you would have stayed like this for hundreds of years, unlike me, Prince. 30 years I would have aged and my hair would have turned white. I will not pull anymore and maybe you will throw me away, too" said Mila with her head bowed.
The magical man chuckled as he tightened his embrace with Mila. "No way, Aurora. You are a part of us. It's just that right now your soul is lost and into the wrong world. If you return to our world, you will become like me and others."
"Certainly that?" Mila looks in disbelief.
"Yes" replied Prince Hans steadily.
Mila rested her head on the chest of Prince Hans while trying to calm down. Various stories and explanations from the supernatural man, made Mila feel a little dizzy and she needed to rest her brain.
Next day.
"Miles. What are you, anyway? From earlier I noticed that you were dumb-eyed," Rika chirped as she watched Mila's disheveled face.
"I've decided, Rika." Mila let out a heavy breath while turning her face to the side. Where many riders pass by next to the big bus he is currently riding.
"decided? Decide what, Mil?" pekik Rika with a astonished face.
"I decided to marry Prince Hans" Mila said.
"What! You are crazy, yes! Why are you even deliberately ensnaring your life to that magical man, Mil?" pekik Rika again with an annoyed face looked at Mila who did not even want to return her gaze.
Mila finally turned to look at the girl. "Heh, can't you keep that little voice down? You didn't know that the supernatural man was always monitoring without my knowledge. He hears all our conversations, including this!"
Rika reflexively covered her mouth with both hands. His face paled immediately and he looked so frightened after hearing the words from his best friend.
"Sorry! How about, donk? I just can't take it if you marry that magical man. I'm sure he'll take you to his world and that means I'll never see you again, Mil" Rika half-whispered. Her eyes turned red and the clear liquid seemed to begin to fill the girl's eyes.
Mila smiled wryly then hugged Rika with teary eyes. "You just calm down. Prince Hans has already agreed to my wish that I leave after you find your soul mate, Rika."
Rika bent her face in annoyance. "Then I pray. I hope I don't find my soul mate until old age, so that the supernatural man can't bring you into his world."
"Rome ...." Mila smiled as if warning back about the existence of the supernatural man.
"Wild! Let him hear you. I'm not afraid," Rika replied with such seriousness as she placed her hand to her chest.
"Sure, aren't you afraid?" fashion Mila again.
"Yes. I'm not scared!"
Mila shrugged both of her shoulders while smiling. The girl refocused her gaze on the road that stretched before them.
Rika is so curious that Mila still keeps the main reason why she agreed to the marriage.
Mila's smile that was still expanding, suddenly disappeared. The girl lowered her head for a moment then answered the question from her best friend.
"I did all this for the safety of Rangga, Rik. You understand what I mean?"
Rika nodded slowly. "Yes, now I understand. But anyway I still can't accept your decision, Mila. This is too weird in my opinion!"
"That's it. In the morning I will be fine" said Mila, trying to melt the atmosphere between them.
"Where do you know that you're going to be okay?" ask Rika with a huff.
Mila smiled thinly. "From prince Hans."
Ckk! Rika clucked in annoyance.
A few minutes later, the two girls arrived at the cake shop.
"Rika, come. I need your help" said Rangga who now stands in one of the cake storefronts. Just like always, the most exemplary employees always arrive early. Even earlier than his subordinates.
"Yes, Mom! Wait a minute," said Rika.
Rika turned her head towards Mila who was still standing beside her. "I went there first, Mil. It's okay, isn't it?" said Rika who seemed uncomfortable with the current situation.
Mila smiled thinly. "Oh my goodness, Rica. Why me? It's there, gone. Later on Rangga crank again."
Rika nodded slowly then went after Rangga who seemed to need help from the girl. Meanwhile, Mila immediately moved away from the room to maintain a safe distance between herself and Rangga.
Meanwhile.
"Mas Rangga."
"Hmm?" Rangga turned his head then noticed Rika's disheveled face.
"Is that thing still bothering you?" ask Rika very carefully. Afraid the man heard his words.
Rangga shook his head slowly. "I don't think so. What's the matter, Rik?
The huft! Rika took a heavy breath. "I'm glad to hear that."
"Why are you, anyway? From the look on your face right now, I know you're in trouble. What's the matter, Rik? Tell me, who knows I can help you find a way out," said Rangga.
Rika stroked her nape which suddenly felt cold. Rika's feelings were suddenly not good. The premonition of the girl said that the magical prince was not far from her and listened to her conversation with Rangga.
"Ehm, it's nothing, Mom. It's nothing" said Rika with a wry smile.
Rika intends to tell about Mila's decision to Rangga. Hope Rangga can help convince Mila to change her decision. However, the cold that penetrated into Rika's body at that time managed to make the girl's guts shrink.
