The Ruler's Love Contract

Waiting...

An hour later...

A breeze of daylight accompanied my footsteps into the courtyard of the house. I held my mother until I got to the front door. My master and the driver brought our groceries. I feel privileged today. Once only as a maid.

My mother did not ask my master much. At the salon we talked about their introduction. My master also told me everything that was discussed with my mother. And it turns out that mom didn't ask him too much. Maybe because of the hunt I came to bring tea for them. Whatever it is, I feel so happy now. Because my dreams finally came true.

"Mother, Rain will be here tonight with the family representative. If there's no roadblock, about eight o'clock will be there." He told my mother.

"Yes already. The important thing is Nak Rain with the family carefully on the road. Later the mother immediately told her relatives to be present at the event later tonight." My mother responded immediately.

"Good, Mom. Then excuse me Rain." My master kissed my mother's hand.

Nyepi.

One word revealed my heart when I saw her without hesitation kissing my mother's hand. I became moved by the earnestness of this blue-eyed man in front of me. I just want to hug him. But, it does not seem to be allowed the same mother.

"Be careful, Rain boy." My mom told him.

"Yes, Mom."

My master smiled and turned to look at me. I was awkward to see him. I soon saw that sweet smile on his face.

"See you later, yeah." My master rubbed my head.

I blushed at his actions. I saw that mother also smiled when she saw this attitude of my master. In the end I could only nod while waiting for her to arrive later tonight. The application event will be held soon.

Sir, be careful on the road.

My master's driver also said goodbye. They then left our yard. I saw my master looking back at me. It seems like she was holding back her desire to kiss me for appreciating mom. Yeah, I know the habit of always kissing my forehead before I leave. But this time he did not. And I understand the reason.

The application event will be held soon. Making the mother and Ara must immediately make preparations for the welcome. Both of them then immediately entered the house after Rain with his driver far away. The blue-eyed man was no longer visible in his eyes, but his heart was still left here.

The number of hours of application procession will be carried out. No one would have thought if everything would go so fast, unlike a couple in general. Just a month together, the proposal was immediately submitted. Ara's mother responded happily.

Until now Ara's mother only limited to knowing if her son with Rain met at work. Ara's mother doesn't yet know that Rain is a ruler of petroleum mining in the Middle East. For him, happiness is the most important. If Ara was happy, she would be happy too. Although there was little hope in his heart behind the happiness that was being felt.

Parents want the best for their children. Likewise with Ara's mother to her daughter. But he also believes that Ara is not a typical woman who is easy to believe, so the mother is sure of the choice of her child. As time goes on, the world will prove who Rain really is.

By evening...

Seconds by seconds passed. Minutes by minutes passed. Hour after hour has changed. I don't think time is almost in the afternoon. Where hope and happiness come together to color the atmosphere of the night.

"Ara, Auntie's here!"

My mother called me from the living room. I immediately rushed to put on my clothes. My hair is still wet I just let it wither away. While my body was wrapped in sleeping pajamas that my mother had just bought. And without putting on make-up I came out of the room.

"Auntie?"

I greeted a woman with black press who came and helped bring her makeup equipment. I happen to have an aunt who used to make brides. So tonight we used his services to apply makeup on my face as well as my mother's. If the price problem, he said it can be donego. But tonight I want to look as beautiful as possible in front of my future husband. No need to take into account the price anymore. After all, the money that my master gave me was quite a lot for this evening's event alone. Ten million rupiah paid in cash.

"Ara, that's beautiful. Now much has changed, yes." He noticed my current appearance.

"Ah, Auntie could've." I feel bad myself.

"The danger is there, Ara?" Aunt also asked.

"Already, Bi. I bought the danger. Mother too" I replied.

"Where's your sister going? How is it not visible?" Suddenly my aunt asked my sister.

I was confused as to what to answer. I don't know where he is either. But luckily, I came and answered him .

"Tia's out, he says there's business." Mother replied as she walked together towards the room.

"Tia comes out a lot, doesn't she?" My aunt asked my mother.

"Yes, she is indeed very different from Ara."

My mother seemed to be breathing heavily. From his face was sadness.

I don't know what really happened to my sister. I haven't asked my mother yet either. But it looks like I will ask after this application procession is completed. I will ask my mother directly because I haven't seen her since morning.

In the midst of the happiness that is being felt, there are only things that are disturbing. Ara's own sister, Tia was nowhere to be seen from morning which made others ask her where she was. Even though the mother has explained, but still will be the subject of speech. Moreover, Ara's application procession will be done soon. Surely Tia will be in the spotlight.

Despite Tia's absence from her sister's proposal, the mother is happy because her youngest daughter has her own choices. And tonight will not be postponed again the happy event of both. Both Ara and Rain had long been looking forward to it. The two loved each other and were ready to anchor the ark together.

Sir, what are you doing there? You came tonight, didn't you?

Ara wondered in her heart as she sat in front of the mirror of her room. She will be dressed as beautifully as possible by her aunt to welcome her future husband. And tonight the stars will witness Rain's procession of proposals to her. Ara was very happy to wait for him.
