With eyes closed
even once, though,
I know you're always by my side, don't leave me
my Lovely Lady's
The sun rose and set so quickly, each night Ru was haunted by guilt. Thanks to Alin emang he has gained the trust of his ministers and people he has now been known as a wise and humble king
He was so friendly to everyone, that many of them loved his figure as King but deep in his heart he felt lonely "I miss you my Lady" muttered Ru while staring at the night sky filled with stars.
It's been a very special night so he came to the dock where Alin used to vent his anger. Lantern lanterns began to be lit and flying indeterminate direction in the sky. In the city there is a year-end festival and here the believer who writes hope is woken up and flies it, that hope will come true.
Slowly Ru also wrote her wish "I wish you were here" Ru murmured as she stared at the lantern in her hand, Ruan Ruo was about to fly the lantern with the candle but she saw the shadow of Alin holding the other side of the lantern in her hand
'I hope your Hapiness and your dream come true' Alin in a white dress whiter than snow smiled towards her. His voice was still soft even though it was very faint to hear
Ruan Ruo realized that it was just a subconscious illusion so he sighed bitterly "I hope you're here with me Al" Ru said as she flew the lantern.
While Ruan Ruo was away the lantern continued to fly into the high sky.
Ruan Ruo set foot about to enter a room but was restrained by the guards "Sorry, Your Majesty the King, Mr. Lee has given orders that no one should enter the room"
Ru sighed in annoyance
"I'm her husband why can't I see her?"
The guards looked helpless
"The master inside was a guest and his majesty Fang'er had returned after a long time so he didn't want to be disturbed"
Ruan Ruo clenched his hands firmly, wherever his elder brother was, why only appeared now if only sooner maybe his Alin would not suffer. By holding back his emotions Ruan Ruo entered the room beside him, there was his room with Alin so ruan ruo stared at the side of the empty bed until the door was opened and a seductive voice of the woman came
"Ruan ruo my sister you were summoned by Fang'er" that was concubine sheng.
His blue eyes looked at Ruan Ruo "Auntie how many times I told you I'm not your sister and would never want to be your sister" Ruan Ruo said.
It has been several months since Shenna was actually expelled from the kingdom because it was discovered that the baby in her womb was not the child of Ruan Ruo had it not been for Consort sheng she would have been sentenced to death for lying and for lying slandering a royal member that she conceives an heir.
Since Alin's punishment, Princess Wei has been more silent. She had told everything to her father and mother-in-law, back then Mr. Lee was really furious and immediately returned to the kingdom 'What you've done to my ling'er I'll make sure you get his karma' word for word that Mr. Lee says back in Ruan Ruo's memory. Sick enough to lose Alin but now his father is still angry with him
Bugh.bugh...
A punch landed right on Ru's cheek. Ruan Ruo looked at Fang zue who kept beating him mercilessly until a loud screech from his mother stopped him
"ENOUGH!" cry madam Huan. Madam Huan helped her youngest child stand up, she knew Ruan Ruo was wrong but what with fighting problems would be finished the answer was not they had to be more mature to solve this problem.
"Rumireo Radeya, I didn't know you were so careless with the power in your hands. You are easily affected." said fang zue\ in a disappointed tone.
Professor Alpha as his superior Alin now spoke up because he was also in the same room "Alin had been in a coma for a long time and now he had to wake up! I'm taking him back to the U. S. to get more intensive care" explained Professor Alpha. Ru is shocked by the presence of professors Alpha and Arzan, all this time she covers Alin from all her co-workers because she knows they will definitely try to keep Alin away from her
"I refuse" Ru said firmly. Fang zue wanted to hit him again but was held back by Wei's daughter "If Alin has to leave then I have to come along" Ru continued
Mr. Lee finally spoke as well "If you want to join them then you have to abdicate your throne as king and that can only be done after a week of transfer of power. Are you sure you chose Alin over your people?" ask Mr. Lee.
Ruan Ruo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement "I am sure to choose Alin, I think the people and power should be in the hands of good people. I realize I'm not a wise enough person even though loved and respected by the people, I'll give it all back to my brother"
Mr. Lee nodded in agreement "But before that, you must clear Alin's name. Because she's innocent, I already have evidence that Consort Sheng purposely blinded his own eyes to frame Alin"
Consort Sheng was about to protest but the guards' swords were now on his neck.
Mr. Lee played a cctv tape, everyone was shocked by what they saw except Arzan.
"Yes then immediately punish him and Alin's eyes can return again without having to go to the U.S" said Fang Rui
Arzan spoke up "Can't, he's still in a coma and very risky let alone the lack of medical supplies and doctors. I've checked that there was a fatally inflicted wound during the previous operation until he was in a coma, if in three days he was still in a coma it could make his brain paralyzed"
Everyone knows brain paralysis means a time bomb, just waiting for how many days not how many days only a few hours of life can be lost
Mrs.Huan fainted at that very spot, while princess wei became limp the other her face looked pale with a thought that was hard to read.
"Whatever I am, Ling'er's life is worth it I can't let her die. I will call my airline so they can send emergency helicopters as soon as possible" Ruan Ruo said after thinking carefully.
........
The next day Ruan Ruo opened the door to Alin's room. He heard the chanting of the Qur'an verses echoing throughout the room. A man sat beside Alin's bed with the Qur'an in his hand and dressed in Muslim clothes.
Arzan closed the book in his hand "What are you here for?" ask Arzan.
Ruan ruo raised his Eyebrow "Wouldn't that have to ask here me. What are you and since when are you here?"
"hey, hey, you forgot because I was dressed like this. Even if I don't wear my white coat I'm still a doctor after I come here after morning prayers. You take it easy I don't sleep here" explained Arzan casually
Ruan Ruo pointed to the book that Arzan had placed next to Alin's bed "What did you read?" ruan Ruo asked quietly
"You don't know if Islam is your religion"
"I know it's the Qur'an"
"what I did was called teaching. When Alin first converted to Islam he was very enthusiastic about teaching and memorizing the Qur'an, even when he used to practice in the hospital in his spare time he would read the Qur'an. I used to ask him why he was so enthusiastic that he asked me to teach him" Arzan sighed "He replied because religion is not just a status to fill in documents"
Ruan Ruo was surprised that he did not know much about his little girl "Would you teach me to read the Qur'an I can read it but not too eloquent? I used to, but now it might be a lot of harm"
Arzan laughed "Yes papa but you have to call me master, How?" Ruan Ruo thought for a moment then nodded.
Without even feeling like the day changed the night. After teaching Ruan Ruo Arzan back to his room while Ru was still in Alin's room
"Al now you're getting better at hiding. It's obvious you're next to me but I can't find you, I beg Al you've had enough to hide I promise you I'll follow your wish" Ruan Ruo buried his face in Alin's bed.
A gentle swipe made him flinch in shock "Al!" the strangler who realized Alin was conscious. Ruan Ruo called professors Alpha and Arzan.
Finished checking Alin's condition, again everyone gathered. Alin remained silent until now until Mrs.Huan hugged her very tightly "Son, you have recovered. Thank goodness!" At first, Alin was shocked because he did not know who hugged him but after hearing a familiar voice Alin immediately stroked the back of the middle-aged woman in front of him "Sorry to make mom and you all worried" alin said slowly.
Alin closed his eyes with a white cloth made of silk "Al let Us see your eyes?!" said Princess Wei. Alin shook his head "It would be better if you didn't see him"
Professors Alpha and Arzan recheck Alin's condition after everything is told to go back
"Is this what you call blind?"
"Yes now you're satisfied?!" ask Professor Alpha in a very upset tone.
"Eh why are you mad at me prof ? I'm not blind because I want to" either"
"You knew this was gonna happen but you didn't avoid it. I'm so sorry to see you Al" said Arzan
Without Alin talking professor alpha explained "You guys still do stuff like that? I have reminded you that even if you avoid the current destiny, it does not mean that other destinies will not exist. If people are destined to die, he knows he will die and then what he wants in the end? He remained dead in the same jam with the same cause just that the situation and the place were different"
Alin nodded "I know it's Prof. That's why I don't sniff"
Arzan tried to shift the topic so as not to get angry by Professor Alpha "During the coma what do you dream of Al?"
Alin laughed "I roamed all parts of the world with papa and opah on a big ship if I wasn't curious about the white light on the door maybe now I wouldn't be aware"
"You know Al, during the operation there was damage to your eyes. So it will be difficult for you to get an eye donor here" explained Arzan
"Although already given Anesti still sick during the operation. Btw zan now what color is my iris?"
"black. I think it's the servant's eyes you put in your eyes, do you want your old eyes back?" ask Arzan. Alin shook his head "I'm not going to wear his old stuff. Some of my eyes that used to not stand the sun, it will only trouble the wearer. I want you to please find me eyes like Hehehe's doll"
"Prof.Alpha, I think Alin needs a psychologist" Arzan murmured. Who got the story from Alin "If you talk, don't come from ceplos"
"You're really blind, aren't you? How can a blind man prick people's heads on target"
