The Rising Sun

42

The prince prepared everything. Aided by Gererou, he begins to spy, investigating Rafael's life. It took me a long time to do this planning. As long as it was a hard day for us. We have to be good at hiding. So that our existence is not sniffed by anyone.

But We realized, We can't hide forever.

Finally four months, or just when Viandra was 7 months old. We are very ready to do it. All plans are made with all possibilities.

I held the Viandra in my chest. It smells its special aroma. Trying to be tough. This has been my decision. A week ago I weaned it. It felt so heavy when I heard the cries that were looking for me. Asking my asi. But I can't do it. I don't know if after our plan goes on I can still meet him.

Parting with a child is hard.

Like Nara. Viandra has faced many dangers since my womb. If I could choose. I want to live as an ordinary person.

Gathering with my children and loved ones.

I imagined a house in the village. Unostentatious. With a wide parchment.fenced by a row of bamboo stems arranged high with a certain pattern. I'll plant some kind of rose creeping outside the fence. Maybe in it too.

In yard. There is a small stream with a shower of bamboo stems. I'll plant some kind of tree, some kind of vegetable and make a colorful house with some kind of flower. Every afternoon I would sit on the porch with my children and husband. Sit down and talk like a normal family. Enjoy the view in front of us.

Every day of my life, I've been faced with the reality of survival. But, village life like my shadow, is truly alive. I would trade anything for that.

Prince Riana is coming. He's ready. Phil takes Nara to a hidden house. While Aunt Sheira will be here alone with VIandra. Phil assured me that the house was safe. If anything happens, Aunt Sheira can take Viandra to hide in the secret room. The room was soundproof. Viandra's cries won't be heard out of the house. In addition, there is also a hallway that takes Bibi out far from this house. If the condition is not possible inside the house.

The prince had prepared all the Viandra's needs in the room. Asking Aunt Sheira not to leave the room until one of us came to pick her up. There's some food if Auntie's hungry. Phil activated the security system.

"You guys be careful" Aunt Sheira said as I handed Viandra over to her. I nodded my head. My eyes are glazed with tears. I haven't missed this boy very much.

"Don't get out of this room" the Prince again reminded Auntie. Aunt Sheira nodded her head respectfully.

I turned around quickly before my defense collapsed. Walk towards the exit. My tears could not hold. I wept.

Feels heavy. Leaving son. The feeling of sadness and hurt hit me simultaneously.

The prince grabbed me from behind. Trying to calm me. "I know this is the best thing right now. It still feels heavy"

The prince said nothing. She's quiet. Letting me cry. After I'm calm enough. The prince led me into the car.

"Sleep" he said before stepping on the gas. Cars are rolling down the street. I'm staring at the little house we've been in for a few weeks. There's a part of me in it.

Slowly the house disappeared from view. I tried to restrain myself from pleading with the Prince for Us to return. I hope Viandra when I'm old enough, understands why I should leave her.

I don't have a choice.

Me and the Prince stayed at a simple inn. A place where many transactions between men and women who then lead to the top of the bed. This place is pretty safe. There's only CCTV at the reception. Has a lot of access in and out but safe. The thugs guards made sure the guests did not make a fuss. I was actually a little shy when I had to go to this place. Especially with the eyes of the striped nose man who looked at me. Their eyes were like they were exposing me in their minds. The prince was by my side. Get ready if any one man tries to dare to touch me.

We couldn't have gone to a better inn. There's a lot of security and I'm afraid we'll be easier to identify. Like it or not. I had to hold back from staying here last night. If I may choose I'd rather stay in the buffalo cage than in this place.

The prince unlocks a room. From afar, from behind a door in one room there was the roar of two couples who combined love. Their voices sounded louder than any other sighing sound in the closed rooms. My face is flushed. I was ashamed to hear it myself. The prince looked calmer, As if that sigh had not sounded in his ear.

This room contains only one small bed with a table and wooden chair. There were a few cigarettes on the table. The walls are covered in dull colored coatings. This room is definitely not for people on vacation.

The prince took off his jacket. There's a gun on his waist. Phil said the Prince's ability to hold a weapon was like a trained soldier. From his voice I understand that Phil is being bullied by the Prince.
