The Ruler's Love Contract

Hopenesses

An hour later...

Ara and Rain had already arrived at the apartment. And now the two are sitting together on the outside terrace sipping warm latte coffee. The two of them were joking with laughter together. The girl did not stop pinching her man's stomach because of amused. Amused by the joke Rain made.

Ara, I don't know why I feel so happy to see you laughing so loosely like this.

Rain sipped his coffee. He calms the laughter that has not stopped since. Until finally Ara drank coffee. Rain looked at the girl with a loving look.

Hopefully we will soon be blessed with children yes, dear.

Rain prayed in his heart. He wants to quickly hold the baby from his hard work. Rain is well established enough to be a father. She did not want to delay her marriage any longer.

Just tell Grandpa about my marriage. I hope he understands.

The ruler stood up. He walked towards the terrace fence to see the fountain view from above. He was able to catch every wind that blew, hitting his body. He still did not expect if he would meet his soul mate here, in this Dubai City.

"Darling, what are you thinking?"

Ara approached her man. He hugged Rain from behind. Rain turned to Ara and held the hand of the girl coiled around her stomach. Enjoying the warmth he had never felt before. But now Ara can give it.

"Fine." Rain turned.

"Yes?"

The two now stand face to face while enjoying a sweep of the night wind on the terrace outside the apartment. That night wind swept through Ara's long hair. Rain also helps to tidy it up with full softness.

"There's something I want to tell you" Rain said.

"About what?" ask Ara enthusiastically.

"About the real me."

"What's wrong, honey?" Suddenly Ara felt the atmosphere change instantly.

Rain took his breath. He bowed for a moment and saw her face again. "Ara, I don't have any parents anymore" said Rain, which surprised Ara.

"You mean?" Ara took it very seriously.

"Since my childhood I was taken care of by my grandmother, and it was my grandfather who paid for my life. I don't know where my parents are." Rain said with a face that implied sadness.

Gosh, does that mean he's broken home too?

Ara hugged Rain. He gave her the warmth of her body. "Oh, don't be sad. Now there's me here." Ara tried to calm her man down.

Rain returned Ara's embrace. "I'm not the granddaughter of grandparents, Ara. However, from childhood he was raised with my twelve brothers. One of them is the granddaughter of grandparents." Rain narrates.

Ara let go of her embrace then looked at Rain's face. He stroked the ruler's face gently and warmly with complete affection. He gave his best smile to this man who was about to marry him.

"Honey, hasn't everything been outlined? So why do you get so caught up in sadness?" ask the girl who indirectly strengthened Rain. Ara tried to relieve the sadness implied from the face of her future husband.

"Yes. Youre right. I'm sorry if I had to make you wait for my declaration of love. But, I have a reason why it got that way." Rain explained.

"What is that reason?" ara asked, she wanted to know what reason Rain had delayed her declaration of love.

"This first love word I wanted to say to my mother. I want to thank you for giving birth to me. But, until I met you, I hadn't discovered his whereabouts." There were tears in Rain's eyes.

Ara turns into an adult in response to her male story. Rain also seemed moved by Ara's nurturing attitude. He did not expect to get warmth from a woman who was not his mother. Except the mother of her children. And Rain's loneliness for affection is now relieved by the presence of Ara by her side.

"Many stories about my life. But maybe I'll gradually reveal. You don't mind, do you?" Rain asked back.

Ara nodded.

"Tomorrow we'll go to the famous boutique in the city. Let's find a wedding dress for you. Tomorrow morning we're going to Burj Khalifa. That building!" Rain then shows Ara where Burj Khalifa is, which turns out if seen from the outside terrace of the apartment is not too far away.

"Tomorrow? What's that?"

"The next day we'll get married."

"What?!!" Instantly Ara was surprised instead of playing.

"That's it. Faster instead of better, huh?" ask Rain without feeling sinful.

"Tap-tapi—"

"Nothing but. We are the ones who are obligated first. If I want to be celebrated, I'll have a seven-day, seven-night party for our wedding. But let them party. We're having a party on the wedding bed." Rain started teasing her girl.

"Ih! You pervert!" Ara pinched Rain's arm.

"Dear, sick!" Rain rubbed his arm.

The two joke in a place that holds a million memories of laughter and wounds that become one coloring their love story. And those memories will never be forgotten. Where their closeness starts from here with the addition of spice quarrels that stifle the chest. And that sadness is beautiful. Solitude is tragic. That's what the poet said.

Honey, I love you, Araku ....

The star-filled night sky bears witness to the laughter that ensues. Rain then carried Ara into his room. They intend to take a break from the exhausting day. And tomorrow is the day the girl will choose her own wedding dress. Together with the ruler who will become her husband, Rain Sky.

Meanwhile...

The frenetic sound of remix music echoed throughout the room. The sound of music played was so loud, that it attracted foreign tourists who came. They meet and gather there. In a fancy nightclub.

Jane, the black-clad woman, seemed to enjoy the rhythm of the music that echoed with several bass beats in each rhythm. He seemed to enjoy the rhythm while smoking his cigarette butt. Not long after someone came to him. A man with a black hoodie wearing the same color mask. It was Nail who came to face Jane alone there.

"Miss." Nail said hello to Jane.

Jane turned around when she heard someone reprimanding her. He saw that the black-stained man had already come to him. Jane then sat at the bar table while continuing to suck the cigarette butts remaining half.

"I have a job for you" Jane said straight to the point.

"Does this have anything to do with yesterday?" tanya Nail makes sure.

"Of course there's still a connection. This time I'm handing it all over to you." Jane sipped her beer glass.

I don't know why Nail's feeling bad tonight, when he heard Jane give him everything. "Em, Miss. What do you want?" tanya Nail makes sure.

"Kill her. Kill the girl" Jane said, putting her beer on the table.

Instantly Nail was surprised to hear Jane say such a serious word to him. He felt like he was holding a time bomb.

"Miss, are you serious?" tanya Nail makes sure.
