The Son of the Ruler's Daughter 3

You Or I Will Bend Your Knees

Risha and Rendra's wedding is just a matter of days. The couple is now busy with final preparations before their wedding. Now Risha and Rendra are re-checking for everything necessary. They were checking the dishes to be served and also the decorations to be used.

Risha continued to bend her face and looked moody and uninspired. Rendra continued to pay attention to the lover who did not look like usual. Finally, the worried Rendra began

he approached Risha and sat down beside her.

“Darling, are you okay? I've noticed since you're not excited and look moody. Are you sick? Or is there something that is holding your mind?”. Rendra asked in a calm manner. He also held onto Risha's forehead to check her health. After making sure Risha's body wasn't hot, she held her hand gently and waited for a reply from the lover.

“I'm fine. I was just thinking of Kenzie”. Risha responded with a weak voice and a sad face.

“Kenzie? What's wrong with him?”. Rendra asked with a frowning forehead and looked very curious.

“He's heartbroken, so lately he's become more moody and reserved. I'm just worried, because Kenzie who is usually cheerful and warm, is now more quiet and cool” Risha also explained to Rendra about what she was worried about.

“Kenzie heartbroken? Did she and Meisya really break up?” Rendra again asked Risha to ascertain what she meant by Risha's words.

“Yes they broke up. Meisya's father did not agree that her daughter became part of our family”. Risha again explains the reason for the end of Kenzie and Meisya's relationship.

“Didn't agree to be part of the Kusuma family? Her dad is crazy or she feels better than your family?”. Rendra asked with a sneering smile on her lips.

“That's why I don't know. For sure if Kenzie wants to marry Meisya, then he should leave us”. Risha continued to lower her head while clenching tightly as she spoke.

“What?! Leave your families? Honey, what's the matter with your family?! Does Meisya's father have personal problems with Kusuma's family? Or maybe ... he's one of those entrepreneurs whose business was ruined by your family?”. Rendra is increasingly surprised by the reason Kenzie broke up. She is completely out of thought with Meisya's father. While many girls want to be Kenzie's partner, and many parents want to make their daughter as Kenzie's partner, Mr. Arseno is not

want to have a relationship with the Kusuma family.

“So, I don't know what the exact story is. Kenzie only said that Meisya's father was afraid that if his daughter would enter our family, she could be humiliated because her status was lower than ours”.

Rendra frowned even more after hearing Risha's explanation.

“There are families who have a higher social status than the Kusuma family? Once your family was the family with the highest social status because all the companies owned by the Kusuma family are well developed. Oh maybe the one with the same status as you is just the leader of the State. That too with the amount of wealth that is not necessarily greater than your wealth” Rendra spoke with a little guessing tone.

“Kenzie only tells that Meisya's father and mother had a bad relationship after they got married, because of their different status. Therefore Meisya's father disagreed with Meisya and Kenzie”'s relationship

“Therefore he filed a condition for Kenzie to leave the house? Isn't she afraid that Aunt Cheva will be angry? Although the blood relationship can never be decided even though it has left the family, there will still be a distance if Kenzie agrees to leave his family”. Rendra looks very upset to hear Risha's story about Mr. Arseno. Risha and Rendra were silent at each other thinking about what would happen next.

“There is no need to discuss Kenzie anymore. He was an adult, so he must have thought of a good decision for his life. I hope he finds a good girl who will understand and accept his condition unconditionally”

“Ya I hope so” too

After some time, Rendra and Risha intend to eat at the restaurant before they go home. But at that time Risha remembered that she had left something in the store before.

“Ren looks like I have to go back to that store. I left the bag you just bought near the dressing room” said Risha

after realizing that he left the groceries because it was too much

daydreaming.

“Let me take it. You wait here”. Rendra took the initiative

“No need. Let me alone take” said Risha while holding Rendra's hand so as not to leave

“You sure? I won't be long. You just have to wait a minute”

“I'm sure. I can take it myself”. Risha insists on taking her own belongings and does not let Rendra take them for her

“Good. Don't dawdle. I'll wait for you here”

“Iya. Just taking the bag left behind,” Risha began to leave Rendra with a little quick footsteps because he did not want Rendra to wait for him too long. While Rendra continued to stare at Risha's back which was getting away from his sight.

"Excuse me. I left 1 bag of groceries here, does anyone keep it?". Risha asked calmly and politely to the shop employees who were there.

"Sorry, Miss. We didn't see it. If you can tell, what kind of bag do you mean? Maybe we can help you ask the others". One of the shopkeepers responded politely to Risha.

"Eum. The sling bag is white" Risha explained the details of the item she left behind.

"Oh is it like that, Miss?". Risha turned to follow the shopkeeper's finger.

"Yes, it looks like it's mine. Thank you". Risha turns around and approaches a couple holding the same bag as Risha's

"Excuse me, may I see the bag you're holding. I didn't mean anything bad, I just left the same bag here". Risha spoke in a calm and polite manner so that the man and woman did not feel offended by her words.

"Whatchu mean? You're accusing us of taking your things?". The girl responded to Risha with a cynical attitude.

"I don't have that kind of meaning. I just want to make sure it's mine or not?" Risha remained calm with a sweet smile as she spoke to the girl.

"It's not yours at all! This is my bag. You think only you can buy this bag?!". The girl continued to be cynical towards Risha, while the man beside her just kept quiet and smiled at the debate of Risha and her lover.

Risha silently looked around the shop. There are CCTV cameras installed in the shop. Risha immediately smiled by glancing at the two of them.

"How about we just look at the evidence. Here there are CCTV cameras, surely the owner of this bag will be found out right? I remember very well where I put my bag" Risha spoke in a calm and confident manner while pointing at the CCTV camera. The couple just stared at each other with panicked faces.

Risha immediately waved at one of the shop maids without waiting for a reply from the couple. One of the girls approached Risha.

"Yes, Miss. Can anyone help?" ask the shopkeeper to Risha in a polite manner.

"Please tell your store manager that I want to see the CCTV cameras here". Risha spoke in a calm and elegant manner

"Hey, who agreed to look at the CCTV cameras? You really suspect us? Do you know who my girlfriend is? He is the owner of this mall. Who do you think you are? Accuse people of stealing your stuff! You should kneel down and apologize" The girl continued to grumble at Risha and boast about her lover

Risha smiled sneering at the attitude of the girl

"Then you ask his father to see me. Let's see who's gonna bend their knees at whose feet. You or I will bend your knees"
