THE LOVE STORY OF THE HEIR TO THE THRONE

Meeting back.

Arezz noticed the woman, her posture reminding her of someone she very much expected her presence to be.

But his heart whispered that it was impossible for the woman he loved to be in the palace, let alone that she was transformed into a servant.

Then the Prince ignored the woman, and opened the door again and entered the room.

Evina looked puzzled inside the palace, like her self had completely gotten lost inside it.

It had been almost a month he worked in the palace, but only this time he really entered the palace which is the residence of the prince, because all this time he had only served as a blanket washer, so far, the work that was done before.

Evina tried to find her luck by applying for a job at the palace, when she saw a leaflet attached to the wall of the cafe Monalisa, which she was waiting for, in the hope that if he worked there he might be able to reunite with Arezz without knowing that Arezz was actually a prince.

Tonight it seemed like he had lost his way, after being told by his superior to deliver a clean blanket, to a special place within the palace.

Evina seemed to be standing in front of a large door, she was about to open the room, but she finally abandoned her intentions because she was afraid that she might enter the room wrong, what if the door he opened was the King's door? heart says.

Eventually he chose to keep walking and look for another servant and could ask her directions.

Evina still looks beautiful even though she is only wearing a maid uniform, with a white apron on her waist.

All the royal servants who worked there wore the same clothes, except for the female palace guards who were in charge of escorting the members of the royal family.

Finally Evina met with one servant and asked for directions to return to her place of work, because the royal palace which has a very large area that makes her a little confused to find directions.

With a hint from the servant he had met earlier he finally reached his place of work, a place located at the end of the palace.

The place is a large open space that is special for washing large blankets commonly used by the royal family.

There is also a building there which is a place for the servants to rest and stay at that place.

Evina entered inside to rest, herself already seeing some servants who worked with her every day who were seen already lying down.

''You have returned, '' asked Laras, one of the friends he had known for a month.

''Almost I was lost, not knowing if the palace was that big and grand, only this time I went in there, ''' Evina replied and then lay on a bunk bed.

Barrel smiled.

''The palace is indeed spacious and magnificent, and will feel even wider for the size of a small person like us, ''' Laras replied.

''Yes...! I remembered the promise someone had made to me that he would bring the palace and its contents to me, Evina recalled the words Arezz had heard a few months ago.

''O yes, have you found your lover who he said was brought by force to the palace?''

Evina shook her head.

''Is it possible that I can find him in this vast palace, with such a large number of inhabitants?'' answer Evina.

He seemed pensive to recall his very short time together with Arezz, even though his memories with the man could not be forgotten.

Evina grabbed the blanket and covered her entire body, trying to start sleeping even though her heart was filled with a longing for a man who now she herself did not know where she was.

Next day.

Prince Arezz began to open his eyes, actually he was lazy to get out of his bed, then he just lay on his back while looking at the sky of his room with a blank look.

His heart seemed to be enveloped by the void, after knowing that the lover he missed turned out to have gone somewhere.

In this vast palace the life he lived felt very monotonous, with his activities very dense every day as a prince, for some reason he began to long for his free life outside the palace, especially when recalling his friendship with Evina.

Tok tok tok tok

''Have you not woken up yet, son?'' said mother with her soft voice.

Arezz smiled to see his mother approaching him and sitting by his bedside.

''Why face? like you were thinking something? what is causing your heart to break?'' ask her mother again.

''Mother...'' Arezz called out to his mother in a limp voice.

''To be honest I have a lover, '' said Arezz by looking at the face of the mother who looks a little wrinkled under her eyes.

''Really?'' replied my mother with a smile.

Arezz nodded.

''If you have a lover, take him to the palace and introduce him to your mother and father, replied the mother.

''But now I do not know where he is, replied the Prince with a sad face.

''Is that what makes your face look moody?''

Arezz was silent while looking down.

''Sis...! if you are indeed a match, even though you are currently separated and you do not know its existence, someday you will definitely be reunited in a way that you did not expect at all, said the mother.

Arezz smile.

''Could it happen?'' ask prince.

''Mom sure...! you must remember that the son, soul, death and fortune of every human being are governed by the almighty, we as humans can only live the destiny of life that has been set by the above, but that does not mean we can only surrender to accept the situation, he said, we as humans must also try if we want to get the life we want, said the mother while holding her favorite son tightly.

''Thank you Mom, now that my heart has calmed down a bit, I am sure that someday I will meet the woman I love.''

Mother nodded.

''Now that you wake up and take a bath, don't you have an important meeting with the Prime Minister today?''

''Well ma'am, I will take a shower soon, replied the Prince.

Then his mother came out of the room, leaving the prince who had now been seen smiling, the grief in his heart had lessened after hearing the message from the mother.

Arezz got up from his bed and walked to the bathroom in his room.

After finishing the bath the Prince came out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped covering the intimate part of his body.

He walked towards a wardrobe that looked more like a special room containing his luxurious clothes.

As he was about to walk, he found a servant with a thick blanket in his hand.

The blanket looked high in fold over his hand so it covered his face a little.

''What are you doing here?'' asked the prince in a slightly angry tone.

''I'm sorry, I was just told by the butler to replace the blanket here with a new one.

''As a servant you should understand very well if you are going to enter a Prince's room, you should knock on the door first, said the prince still in an angry voice.

''I'm sorry, I have absolutely no idea if this room is the prince's room, I'm the new servant in the palace.

Then he bent down, causing the folds of the blanket he was carrying to fall on the floor, immediately he grabbed back the goods he was carrying.

The prince stared fixedly at the servant's face with both eyes, the servant was seen crouching and looking down because he was tidying up the folds of the blanket on the floor.
