The Stunning My Life

The king?

After the prayer, Bara and I had lunch together in the hospital canteen. It's all because of my dad who insisted on pushing me. Yeah, nevermind. It's just lunch, and I want to talk to Bara, too.

"Sophia, Om Budi said, you live with your bulik, huh?" I started talking to him talking to me.

"Yes." Yeah." My reply was short of not looking at the man continuing to be busy with my lunch. I'm trying to cut myself off so that Bara gets upset with me.

Bara looks silent. Five seconds. Ten seconds. "I can see you" he choked me a little bit on the food.

I coughed a little, then quickly drank. I looked at Bara who was also looking at me.

"Aren't you pa-pa?" ask Bara to me.

I'm throats. "No pa-pa." Answer smiled. I don't want to misbehave in front of that tall man with that army-style hair shave. He is a soldier.

We also shut each other up. I know Bara was nervous there too. Actually I want a little fuss.

Looking at Bara's firmly authoritative visuals with a tight, dark grey t-shirt and loose jeans showing her perfect body, it felt like she deserved to be confident. But Bara, her face can't be lied to if she looks so nervous having lunch with me.

"Bara" called me to the man making him look at me.

"Do you know if we want to be fooled?" I asked Bara.

"I'm so sorry. Om Budi with Papa like we've been talking about our matchmaking." The answer sounds honest.

"Certainly? Do you want to be fooled by me? We just know him now. And you don't know how I am. And vice versa, I also don't know you're the guy like how."

I tried to negotiate with Bara slowly. It seems that the man is not neko-neko. I don't deserve to strangle him and talk without rules.

Emar smile. Now his attitude is a little relaxed. "On that matter, we can get along slowly to get to know each other."

Bara inhaled a long breath puffing his chest, then greeted him lightly. "I admit, I'm single now. Om Budi always told me about you, and me, well.... I really don't mind being fooled by you," Bara said to surprise me.

"But-"

"But you have a boyfriend, right?" tanya Bara cut my words.

"Yes, I have a boyfriend." My answer to Bara was a little bad.

"Yes, I can't do anything. You have a boyfriend, and I have not. I'm not selfish, though. If the match must be canceled, yes it is canceled," said Bara smiling.

Unexpectedly, the man named Bara had a spacious and calm heart. His name was either fiery or hard as a rock, uh. No, but Bara's very nice. He didn't demand to be betrothed to me even if he wanted to, anyway.

"I'm sorry, Bar. I'm not good with you. This is too sudden, anyway. Father had never previously planned match-making like gini. And I can't leave my boyfriend. So.., I'm really sorry about you."

Again, Bara threw a friendly and calm attitude with a smile that seemed sweet. "Yes, not pa-pa. Just relax, Sophia."

I smiled too. "I doain deh, may you get a better soul mate than me," I told Bara.

"Aminin, that's it." Bara replied with a small laugh, then followed by me.

Me and Bara continued lunch. We both are not as good now. Okay, one problem I consider solved. And now there are other PR. I have to make my family like Juna, especially my dad.

"So you really want to cancel our arranged marriage?" I asked Bara to make sure again. I do need firm certainty from the man so that everything is real clear.

"Yes, I'll tell Papa the same Om Budi." Bara replied impressed flat not excited like before.

What do I say to her, huh? Actually I was impressed to reject the man. Though he's not bad. May Bara not be a Baperan. I just want to protect my relationship with Juna.

I looked at me who was still watching it. She smiles. I replied, then looked away again busy with my sotoku rice that was getting cold.

One sec. Two seconds. My phone rang short. There was a miscall from Karina. Then, I saw a long whatsapp message from my brother. The message was sent 5 minutes ago.

Karina: Phi, this is your friend who came to the house. He said his name was King. He's here riding the black kawasaki trail. You hunt home, gih!!!

Suddenly, I widened my eyes while standing up until the chair I was sitting on pushed back made a sound that might surprise people. Not wrong anymore. The king? He must be Juna King of the Universe.

"Eh.., Bara, I go home first, yeah. You please tell my father that I'm in a hurry because I'm going home now."

I put my phone in a bag I didn't leave in Dad's room. I took a piece of fifty thousand money giving it to Bara and immediately rushed away.

Bara just put on a confused face watching me. He called me once, but I didn't touch him.

I kept walking quickly to the hospital parking lot. "Oh, yes." I crept while frowning after getting to my brother's white honda vario. I forgot, but I also wanted to cancel the intention of Bara who wanted to pay for all the father's care costs.

I clicked, then quickly put on a helmet and paid for parking. The business still has time to talk again with Bara. Right now I have to hurry home and meet Juna who didn't tell me first to come home.

"Assalamu'alaikum," my greeting went inside.

I've reached home. And right, Juna over there sitting in the living room chair looking at me smiling while answering greetings. Mother, Karina, and Lusy also seemed to accompany him talking there.

"Why didn't you come here before me?" ask Juna, then sit in the living room chair.

"Continuously? How's his mom doing, son of a king now?" mother's question looked impatient at Juna making me suddenly confused.

It seems like Juna has already told mother and Karina something. The two of them looked at Juna very enthusiastically. I missed the news, though.

"Alhamdulillah, my mother is fine now." Juna smiled.

Mother and Karina were seen sighing in relief. They kept smiling at Juna. This is on why, anyway? I became kepo.

"Sophia, Son, the King wants to look at you, he said. You took him to the hospital, yeah. Look, tuh!" Mother showed me the food lined up neatly on the wall. "Son the King bothered to bring a lot of souvenirs."

I'm gawking. Oh, my God, that's a lot. Two durians, a large bag of alfamart crackles containing light snacks, instant noodle schardus, and an instant noodle second again, but plastered black. It doesn't seem like instant noodles.

Juna take all that? He's here on the same dirt bike. How did Juna bring all that?

"Sophia," call mom to surprise me.

"Lah daydreaming. Come there anterin Nak King look up to Daddy," mother orders me again.

"Yes, Mom." I answered a little too badly.

I still don't think about Juna. He was very kind to bring a lot of hands to my family. He also brought durian. It is not durian season, the fruit is very expensive.

On the way to the hospital...

"You should go home and tell me first. That too, why did you bring so much? How do you take him, Juna...?"

Juna was laughing there. We are currently on the trail of the man. Juna drove the bike slowly so we could also chat a bit long on the way.

"Take it easy Sophia, I have a courier soul. The Kawkaw is also easy to compromise." Juna answered me.

"Kawkaw?" I'm stunned.

"Yes, Kawkaw. This is what we always ride," Juna explained, making me think for a moment.

I woke up after understanding what the man meant. Kawkaw, it turns out that the name of this black Kawasaki trail bike belongs to Juna.

"What's the magic name, anyway? Is there nothing more unyu? Kawkaw???" I'm broken again.

Juna was also laughing a little there.

"Oh, yes. Why are you telling me to Mother Karina if your name is King?"

"My name is King, right? Juna the King of the Universe."

"Fail too, anyway. But the concept isn't like that, Juna...."

Juna laughed again. One sec. Two seconds. "So when I came your sister asked, you're Juna, huh? I just smile, keep answering, I'm the King."

"You've got-there, deh. You keep telling me especially to Mother's brother?"

"Not said anything, Sophia. You don't want to poo, deh...."

I smiled wryly, then poked my hand into Juna's stomach and replaced it with an anxious smile at the man.

"Juna, I have information for you."

"What information?" juna asked, curious.

"Dad wants to mate with me as a soldier."

Suddenly, Juna braked the motor making my heart roar fast. I hit his right shoulder a little irritated. "You're making me surprised to know!" my protest to Juna.

"You are the one who surprised me! Fouled by soldiers how does that mean?" Juna protested back to me.

"You just calm down. This matchmaking will not happen if you succeed in seducing Dad. So later, be smart with you."

Juna turned her body to look at me.

"I agree with Dad. If you succeed in making Dad sure of you, Dad will cancel his match. But if you fail...." I thumped the shoulder to Juna.

"Sophia, Juna the King of the Universe will not give it up." Juna straightened his body back to the front. "Okay, let's conquer the heart of the future father-in-law. The spirit!" the urge encourages itself.

Juna and I continued our journey to the hospital. Hopefully Juna manages to earn the father's trust for her. I'm sure Juna King of the Universe will succeed.

Seeing the attitude of mother and Karina in the house earlier, it seems Juna is very easy to approach them. Mother and Karina are not difficult people, anyway. But dad....

Even though my father still hasn't opened his heart to Juna, I will still refuse the match. I will keep Juna as my commitment.

I'm not going to replace Juna with anyone. Even if it was a soldier like Bara. I will still choose Juna King of the Universe. [ ]
