Trapped in the Love of the Young Master

16. Wishing

The night almost touched the middle, when Prabu busied himself in the kitchen. Previously, he had no idea what to do, but thought about making fast food. Then, it was decided to order a few packs of instant noodles online, via the app.

A few moments later, here it is now. Wearing a black apron on the chest, with a work shirt and cloth pants that have not been replaced. Only her feet had taken off her shoes, and were covered in rubber slippers.

As per the instructions behind the packaging of instant noodles, the first thing he did was boil water. Then open the seasoning packaging with a scissor. All the instructions were done correctly, then poured the noodles mixed with eggs into two different bowls.

Prabu once remembered, once ate noodles with the addition of leeks, celery, and fried onions. He went to the refrigerator and got everything he was looking for. But bad, when cutting the onion sliced.

“Ah, dammit!” Prabu cursed, and immediately approached the sink.

The man grimaced, then splashed his wound with tap water. Meanwhile, one hand reached out to the P3K box. He took a plaster, and immediately he bandaged the wound, after it was dried with a tissue.

After cooking, Prabu stared at his work on the table. A masterpiece for the first time, and never terbesit will do all this in his life.

Meanwhile, Tiara who had been wearing pajamas remained in the room, not knowing what to do. His stomach is so hungry, but reluctant to go out and meet Prabu again. The person he most wanted to avoid in this house. For something in his chest was pounding incoherently just by looking at his master from afar. In fact, the incident at the door managed to make him pound, even though it had almost an hour passed.

To dampen the feeling, Tiara chose to infiltrate the blanket, then turn off all the room lights. He tried to close his eyes, but still failed.

Then he moved, when he heard a knock on the door of his room.

“Company me eat.” As Prabu said, when he saw Tiara from behind the door.

“I sleepy, Mr.” Tiara tried to reason.

“Or do you want us to eat in your room?”

“Ah, b—well!” Quickly Tiara came out, and tailed.

Prabu stepped towards the front of the house, then sat on the terrace. Put the tray in hand on a small table right on the side of the trellis that borders the balcony.

For a moment Tiara was stunned. After three months of working in this house, not once did he set foot on the front porch of the second floor. Again his eyes were ambushed by the luxury of building design. Stick with the big pillars, the crystal lights are also the garden order that makes the clucking.

“Sit!” Prabu patted the side of the chair he was sitting on. Tiara awoke from admiration. He saw the girl who approached with rigid steps, until she sat on the side.

“Eat. I know you're hungry, ‘kan?” Prabu thrusting a bowl of instant noodles that still puff smoke.

“Ah, I—“

“Eat!”

Tiara nodded, then accepted the ceramic bowl hesitantly. The smell of noodles mixed with fried onions is very appetizing. Inhaled for a moment, then began to sip the sauce that tasted delicious.

In front of Tiara, Prabu bribed no less greedy. The sound of noodle suction from the lips of the master brings its own harmony, combined with the blowing of the wind through midnight. Then, Tiara frowned when she saw Prabu's index finger wrapped in plaster.

“That's why, Mister?”

Prabu lifted his face from the bowl, then said, “It's okay. Only scratched.”

After answering, he went back to eating. “I don't know, if instant noodles like this. Suppose you know, surely I will eat it every day.”

“Then the whole body of the Master will be filled MSG.” Tiara.

Tiara's gaze glazed over, toward the flickering stars in the dark sky, whose light was faintly metropolitan glitter. He sighed softly, then smiled a thin smile.

“My family once shared a pack of instant noodles for four. In the past, our time was down.”

Hearing that, Prabu raised his face, and stopped his mouthful. He saw Tiara who was staring at the sky, as if collecting a temple of memories from silence.

“We also held back hunger overnight, because the stalls no longer believe when you owe. At the time, I was a child, but I could remember everything. Forced to mature by circumstances, then start helping Mom. Sell cakes around, also bring a thermos filled with ice candles when going to school.” Tiara paused the sentence. The instant noodles put him on the table, then he took a slow breath.

Meanwhile, Prabu is still listening while propping up his chin. The instant noodles that remained half placed on the table, then he gulped down the mineral water slowly.

“Our hard work came to fruition a few years later. Life began to improve, and we were able to live with enough to eat. Until I finally went to college. I think all problems are solved. As it turns out, there was one more blow, which made me have to hang my ideals and end here.”

Tiara blinked and wiped her eyes. He himself does not know why, can tell this to Prabu. While the man continued to listen to every word Tiara expressed.

“When my mother was sick, my world seemed to stop. Don't know what to do. Then, this family brings a fresh breeze, so that all series of Mother's treatment can be lived easily.”

Out of nowhere, Prabu grabbed Tiara's fingers lying on his lap. Grasped and squeezed slowly, until the master turned around. For a moment their eyes locked onto each other, to channel out many meanings.

“About that night .. I'm sorry.” Prabu's voice choked. He was still clutching Tiara's fingers which felt cold and sweaty.

“If you may ask, I would like you to stay here, Tiara. Not only is it because it's hard for you to adapt to new people, but I want to ..”

Prabu hung up his sentence, as he saw Tiara looking down deeply with her shoulders beginning to shake. Now he really understands, if the joy of Tiara was taken from that night.

“I'm really sorry.” Prabu repeated his sentence, then inched forward. Clutching Tiara to his chest, as if trying to channel calmness.

“I just don't want you to misunderstand, Tiara. I want to make it clear that everything you see is not true. I'm also sorry I did everything, without your permission. But honestly, making you lose your smile, I feel guilty.” Prabu said at length.

“I don't want us to be apart. Because in keeping Eyang, we are the same team, and must continue to work together. So far, only you can do well.”

Tiara was still silent, drowning in her own feelings.

“Stay here, Tiara. For the sake of Eyang .. for my sake. Because we need you.” Prabu said in the end.

Treated so, Tiara grew more and more soluble in tears. He wanted to stay away, and thought everything that happened was just a dream. However, the night that had happened between him and Prabu made him afraid, and hopeful at one time.

“Can we start everything well, Tiara?”

Prabu paused the hug, then wiped off the wet trace on Tiara's cheek. The girl was still cursing, either avoiding her gaze or because of something else. The thing that then made Prabu duck, and remove the distance.

The infiltrating cold, the night that continues to rise, and the harmony of nature wrapped in drizzle make the rhythm of the shahdu again envelop two people without ties. In contrast to the night that had gone by, this time the two of them enjoyed every bit of tenderness.

Prabu then moved, with Tiara in his arms. Then, in the next second, they repeated everything again, and adored each other under the same blanket. Prabu Room, a witness to shahdu when the two people re-integrated.
