The Son of the Ruler's Daughter 3

Rendra's pain

"I'm sorry. I just want to give you support" Risha who subconsciously held Rendra's hand immediately let go and acted awkwardly

"Arisha Nedzara Kusuma, what are you doing? How dare you just hold a man's hand" Inner Risha grumbled to herself

"No papa" replied Rendra who was also awkward

"Rendra... Rendra why are you so nervous? You can usually be calm with anyone. Why is facing Risha so embarrassing?" Inner Rendra was grumbling to himself

The two of them returned to lunch together despite being in an awkward atmosphere for quite a long time.

"Why is the atmosphere so strange? Like you were deliberately forced to eat together" Risha thought after quite a long time of silence. Finally, Risha again tried to open a conversation between them.

"Then ... What are you going to do with your sister? Don't you have any intention of mending a relationship with her?" Risha asks Rendra about the action she will take next

"Didn't you hear what I told my sister?" Rendra asked with her calm demeanor

"Yes, but like your brother said. You have no other family. Only you two are left of the Dirga family"

"I don't have any other family. But my brother still has his mother's uncle's family. I don't think it's gonna be a problem for him either"

"Haah, you're stubborn as well huh? I don't know what else to say to you" Risha took a deep breath in annoyance at Rendra's stubborn attitude

"Can you imagine living with the person who has been the cause of your suffering? I can't even look at Bastian's face. I used to want to be very close to him. I want to be like any other kid who can play and fight with his brother. But I, every time I approach Bastian's sister, his mother will give me some distance. Said that I was just the son of the destroyer of his household. I'll just take away my brother's happiness. Every brother shares something with me, then I will be punished in a dark room or beaten for stealing something that belongs to brother. My mother could only cry and plead not to be punished, until my mother finally ventured to ask to stay apart"

There was sadness and deep wounds that were clearly visible from the look in Rendra's eyes as he told a story.

"Is this why you're giving your brother some distance? I just understood why you were acting so cold. I hope you can heal that wound even if it takes a long time. Not to hate your sister is good. I'm not gonna force you to scrape old wounds that somehow heal"

Risha also understood why Rendra was cold and very vigilant. He tried to protect his heart from getting hurt again. Risha was silent and felt sad for what Rendra had experienced in the past.

"Ayeah, have you heard from the police station? What about Kia, Elisha and Nura?" Risha asked cheerfully as she tried to shift their conversation. He did not want Rendra to be too late in his bitter memories of the past

"I know they were also arrested for being the brains of the crime, but I don't know how long they were sentenced. I don't care either. After all, everything is done and you are also fine" Rendra spoke again with indifference

Risha stared at Rendra long enough she looked curious about something

"May I ask you something?" Risha asked before she asked Rendra

"Ask what? Why are you looking at me like that?" Rendra frowned looking at Risha in surprise

"What do you think I am?"

"Uhuk uhuk" Rendra who was drinking immediately choked on hearing Risha's question to him

"What does that mean? Why are you suddenly asking me that?" Rendra asked after she calmed down

"I was just curious. We've been close all along. You always help me too. Is it just because I'm Kenzo's cousin?" Risha asked with a sweet smile on her lips. Next to the hand he used to hold his chin, it made him look calm but actually he was very nervous waiting for a response from Rendra.

Deg deg deg

"What would he say? Why is my heart pounding like this just because of a trivial question I asked myself? If my heart was outside, maybe she had jumped up and run away from her place" Risha thought with a cold sweat that began to pour out.

"I don't know why I'm good to you either. I'm sure you can take care of yourself. I always wanted to be the first one to help you. I want you to just rely on me" Rendra replied with a bowed head and a weak tone

Risha smiled faintly at Rendra's reply

"Do you like me?"

Rendra looked so surprised that she widened her eyes at Risha's question. It is clear that Rendra was wrong to hold the neck while looking the other way

"W-what the hell is that? Don't ask strange things!" Rendra replied nervously and misbehaved

"Why are you so nervous? What did I ask wrong?" Risha showed a smile as she asked Rendra. Of course, that makes Rendra more wrong

"Ah ... kitra has been outside for too long, we should go back to the office now" Rendra immediately stood up and was about to leave

"Hey, you want to run away from me?" Risha asks who made Rendra stop her steps

"Where did I run away from you? It's just that we've been outside for too long. After all, my brother should have left too, right?" Rendra replied as he passed away first

"Come fast! How long are you gonna stay there?" Shouted Rendra calling Risha

"His grandson looked at the expression of the man who had never been close to a woman. Being asked is directly wrong. What if you have a girlfriend later? It feels like always teasing you" Risha smiled as she looked at Rendra's back. His eyes showed that he had other plans. Risha wakes up and starts to follow Rendra from behind

"Hey, wait for me!"

***

Due to an earlier incident, Safira's filming was postponed. They must find a stunt double to replace Gilang and Manda. Safira is back with Kenzo

"Everything went to waste because two people were annoying. We'll have to postpone filming" Tiara grumbled angrily because filming was cancelled

"Already, not only did I cancel the shoot, but everyone had to get ready from the beginning" Safira calmed down Tiara who looked very upset

"Indeed not only Safira's brother who works hard, but all of them as well. If there is no such incident, the filming will be completed in the near future. Aah why must also use rude ways to get you out of this drama? It's because of that Manda and Gilang. They purposely planned everything to bring you down. Now they themselves are receiving the consequences. Feel the two of you, because now you can't shoot anymore!" Tiara continued to grumble and berate Manda and Gilang

"Until when are you going to grumble like that? You're like an old man!" Safira smiled and teased Tiara who kept complaining all the way

Kenzo, who had been silent before, now began to open his voice

"You just calm down. I won't let anyone play his cunning tricks on you anymore. I will always open the path you choose"

Sapphira looked up at Kenzo and smiled at her

"Thank you. I'm lucky to be your girlfriend"

"Of course you're lucky because there's no other man in the world who's handsome and can do anything but me"

"Looky feeling. Can I take my word again?" Said Safira with a forced smile on her face
