The Ruler's Love Contract

I Miss You

Her night...

The atmosphere of the night felt as if there was no life. My heart was empty after what happened. I tried to put it in writing, but my heart was powerless to continue. Like there is a barrier that limits.

I stared at the shower from behind the glass window. Warming up by hugging a frozen body. I think time is going very slowly. I was nervous waiting for the morning.

It's ten o'clock in the night my master hasn't come home yet. No message or news from him. Just the last message I didn't return this afternoon. But, not that I do not want to reply, but confused what to reply.

I took my phone, hoping for a message to come in. But apparently, there is none. I'm so upset to face tonight.

Should I ask you why he hasn't come home yet? But it doesn't feel right because I'm just a maid. He's my master, my master. I have no right to it, I'm self-conscious.

I lay my back on the couch and turn on the television. I'm trying to find some entertainment tonight. Again, my heart felt uncomfortable. I took the phone and tried to type a message for her. I want to ask where he is now. But, when I wanted to send, I canceled the message. I didn't send him a message.

"Oh .. Why am I like this?"

I held my head full of his name. His smile, his little laugh, his handsome face, and everything else on him. I was unable to cast his shadow out of this thought. He always filled my mind. And now my heart is being disturbed by it.

"Did I just call, huh?"

I want to feel like calling. But, what reason should I use to call her? I have no reason to ask where he is now.

Mr. .. are you just as restless now?

I tried to stretch myself out, hoping to close my eyes to get sleepy. It just so happens that tomorrow we start college. And tomorrow morning we have to go to college. If left to fret, I might be late tomorrow. Yes I did, I relaxed my body and mind. I relaxed and then took a deep breath repeatedly, trying to sleep on a lonely night.

Tomorrow...

I woke up early in the morning and started my daily routine. I think my master came home last night. After checking his room, his room was empty. He really didn't come home last night.

Mr. .. are you really mad at me?

I don't know why I feel so alone in this apartment. Like there was no life around me. A large apartment cannot be filled alone. I want him to come home and come back with me.

I saw the cell phone I put on the dinner table, hoping for a message from him. But, again my phone seems to be broken, no one contacted me. And I finally got upset early in the morning.

"Just take a shower then. It's six o'clock, too."

I rushed to take a shower, cleaned myself and my mind through the warm shower. I can't mess up like this. Anyway today is my first day of college, I have to be upbeat.

A few minutes later...

After finishing the bath, I came out wearing a white towel limited to the chest until the middle of the thigh. I immediately put on the clothes by closing the curtains that I put in the hallway between the bathroom and the kitchen.

Today I wear a long white shirt with tight black base pants. I also wear sneakers to make it easy to run. However, I don't have the bags and stationery for college yet. He said Jack would bring it to me.

While waiting for Jack to come, I had breakfast first. Fried rice breakfast and a glass of warm milk. Immediately get ready to go to campus. Do not forget to check the stove and lock the windows of the apartment.

Wear it a little bit.

I was dressed thinly in front of the glass across the dining table. I deliberately wear minimalist makeup so as not to look tacky people.

"All right, I'm ready."

Missing my master, I sprayed her perfume on my body, so that I could feel it around me. In fact, he doesn't exist.

"Jack?"

I heard the apartment bell ringing. I opened the door and saw who was coming. And apparently, Jack is the one who came. He brought a lot of stationery for me.

I finally got a taste of studying in college. "Thank you, Jack." I smiled at him.

"Then can we leave now, Miss?" tanyanya.

"Em, yeah. Alright. I put it in this stationery."

I put it near the TV stationery Jack brought. Then I went to college with him. Jack's gonna drive me to college on my first day. He wanted it my master, but since he didn't exist, Jack did.

We finally arrived at the apartment parking lot. I got in the car and sat in the back. Jack was sitting in front of the car. This black car belonging to my master immediately drove towards my campus.

On travel...

All the way I was silent. I am still thinking about my master. I miss him. I don't know why this heart feels tied to him.

"Miss, last night Mr. Rain stayed at my house." Jack opened the conversation.

"Staying?" many ensure.

"Yes, he sleeps at home because he doesn't want to go back to the apartment. If I could tell, what is it really? Why hasn't everything changed in a day?" it was like asking me to tell a story.

"Em .. nothing, Jack. Maybe he just misunderstood me" I replied with a fake smile.

"Master Rain has never been like this before. This was the first time he wanted to stay at my house. Even taking my two sons to play."

"Certainly, huh?!" I was surprised to hear that.

"Yes, Mr. Rain is a friendly figure. He considers all his workers like his own brothers. That's why I also work with him. But, when she felt uncomfortable, I couldn't just sit still." Jack explained himself.

I understand what Jack said. But, do I have to tell you the truth? I really am not ready if anyone else knows this relationship is just a pretense.

"Miss, I think Mr. Rain has good intentions for Miss. Doesn't Miss want to accept her good intentions?" jack asked, breaking my daydream.

"Em, meaning?" I don't understand.

"Sorry, Miss. I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of Miss and Master. But as a worker as well as his brother, I feel sympathetic about what happened. It's not good to let the problem drag on" he said.

I fell silent, trying to think what to do in front of him.

"Miss, we're here."

Shortly after, we finally arrived in front of my campus gate. I also immediately got out of the car while carrying the bag I attached on the right shoulder. Jack came down.

"Jack, thank you. I'm sorry, I can't say anything yet" I told her, closing the meeting.

"It's okay, Miss. Everything requires a process. Do I want to pick me up later?" tanyanya.

"Em." I'm thinking. "Let's go home alone, Jack. I want to take a walk today" I replied.

"Good, Miss. Then excuse me." Jack also said goodbye.

"Yes, be careful."

Jack got in the car and drove away, leaving me in front of the campus gate by myself. I took a deep and long breath while trying to revive the fire of my spirit. I need to be able to remove this confusion from my heart and mind. I must not waste the college opportunity my master gave me.

Ara's spirit! The storm must have passed!

I turned the body and then stepped foot into the new student meeting room with the lecturer of the study program. I had to catch up in order to pass in time. Somehow, I will fight as best I can. I'm sure I can.
