The Ruler's Love Contract

The Story of Friendship

Rose looked. He was surprised to see who was coming. "Lecturer Lee?!" He did not expect if he would see his idol lecturer approaching.

"How are you, Rose? Long time no see." Lee.

Rose instantly realized the meaning of Lee's arrival. "Did you ask Lecturer Lee to look for me?" ask Rose to Lee.

Lee smiled. A sweet smile that made Rose's mood better. "May I sit here?" Lee asked permission to sit next to Rose.

Rose nodded. He then threw the ice cream in his hand. Lee's arrival certainly made his heart happy. How not, Lee was the man who managed to attract his attention.

A few minutes later, Palm Jumeirah is five in the afternoon...

The beach breeze blew fiercely, sweeping away the strands of beautiful virgin hair that was sitting sweetly beside the man in a black shirt. The two have not opened the conversation because they still want to enjoy the view of the sun that will soon sink. The roar of the waves that are chasing as if to witness silence between them. Lee who was still silent and Rose who was timid. Until finally the lecturer of the engineering faculty decided to open his conversation.

"Your father came to see me a few days ago. I thought I had made a big mistake during my teaching on campus." Lee started the conversation.

Rose remained silent. He listened to Lee's words well.

"Why did you decide to leave when the situation was unfriendly? Isn't it the problem that makes us grow up?" ask Lee again.

Sontak Rose jerked. He felt those words hit his heart. He began to understand why Lee had come to see him here.

"Sorry to trouble you, Lecturer Lee." Rose is self-conscious.

Lee smiled. The man in a black shirt rolled up to the elbow was trying wisely to deal with the situation. "From the beginning I wasn't interested in dating my own students. Why did you fight just because of me?" lee asked Rose who was down next to him.

Rose was silent, she did not answer.

"I want to get married if I find the right one. I do not want to linger hanging relationship with the name of dating. Are you willing to give up your youth just to marry me?" ask Lee again.

"Lecturer Lee?!"

Rose was jolted. He realized Lee's thinking was not narrow. Nor could she have given up her single life just to marry Lee. His future is still very long. Moreover, Rose is the only child who will inherit his father's entire fortune. It wasn't that easy for her to get married.

"Maybe I'm wrong, Lecturer Lee." Rose finally admitted.

Lee smiled. The sitting distance of the two is only about one meter, so that makes the beach breeze blow as they please pass through them. However, Rose did not appear to be grinding her hair that began to be disheveled in the wind. He let.

"Jasmine is in the hospital. He was suffering from stage one leukemia. Don't you want to see her?" ask Lee again to Rose.

"What?!" Rose was surprised to hear it.

"Yes. A few days ago I went to his assistant professor. And it turns out that Jasmine has not been on campus for a few days. When I asked the students, it turned out that he was in the hospital." Lee.

I don't know why Rose was sad to hear this news. He felt regret for having slapped Jasmine back then. He felt guilty for his actions.

“Rose, what did you do to Jasmine?!”

“Lee Lecturer, why did you walk with him?” Rose asked back.

Rose's gaze implied great jealousy and unacceptance from her heart. But Lee was mediocre to both.

“Jasmine asked me to accompany her in search of a book. What is it and why? You feel angry that your lover has been taken away. Is there a mistake between us?” Lee was astonished.

Rose was speechless, she stared intently at Jasmine. “The friend I trust the most has taken the person I like. She really doesn't know herself.” Rose looks very upset.

“People you like?” Lee's amazed. “Wait. It seems there has been a misunderstanding between us.” Lee finally understood.

.........

"I don't know if he has such a disease." Rose really doesn't know. He was sad.

Lee breathed deep in the beach air this afternoon. "He was afraid of being alone. He thought having a partner would make him happy. But I couldn't fulfill his request. Like I said, what is the reason. And I hope you understand" Lee said.

Rose nodded. It seems like this time Lee's words can touch his heart. Lee also had to say the truth so that the two girls did not fight anymore because of it. Lee doesn't want to mess around. If it is serious and suitable, he will immediately invite to marry. For him dating is just a waste of time.

"Where is Jasmine being treated, Lecturer Lee?" Rose then asked. He wants to see Jasmine immediately.

"We can go there together. You don't mind?" ask Lee again.

Rose shook her head.

"alright. Let's." Let's." Lee also stood up. She invites Rose to meet Jasmine at the hospital.

It turned out that Rose could easily accept Lee's words this time. The four-eye talk invites sympathy from the bottom of Rose's heart. He realized what really made Lee could not open his heart to just any girl. Lee wants to get married soon.

All this time I've been rude to him. I don't know if he has a disease like that. I regret. I'm sorry Jasmine.

Rose finally admitted her mistake. He then agrees to go with Lee to the hospital, where Jasmine is being treated. Rose tried to accept her life story. He also realized that what he wanted was not all obtainable. Especially about a relationship.

An hour later...

Lee and Rose finally arrive at a famous hospital in the capital. The two walked along the hospital corridor. Until finally we got to the front of an exclusive room. Lee knocked on the door and opened it. He invited Rose to come in first.

Rose understands. He then went in and looked for where his best friend was. And it turns out to be true. He saw a girl lying weakly up there, on a hospital bed. However, the girl was not alone, but rather accompanied by her mother.

"Rose?" Jasmine's mother saw her son's friend coming.

Rose felt guilty. His heart was sliced to see Jasmine lying weakly. The air hose and infusion were still connected in his friend's body. The memory of his bad attitude to Jasmine was reflected back. Unknowingly the crystal crystals came out from hiding.

"Tante, I'm sorry." Rose hugged Jasmine's mother.

Jasmine's mother returned Rose's embrace. The white woman looked young. He had just turned forty-five a few days ago. She celebrated her birthday with Jasmine. However, for some reason on his birthday, he had to see the unexpected. Jasmine collapsed in front of him.
