Two Princes One Love

Your Smile

After dinner on the hill of heaven...

Ara handed out a pedestal, three pieces of paper as well as one pen to each of the princes and princesses of the kingdom. Tonight is the peak night of their togetherness because tomorrow night has entered the night of the fashion show.

Aided by her assistant, Ara performed her duties well. Around the hill there are many oil-fueled chandeliers so that the top of the hill looks bright. Plus the lighting of the bonfire that is now lit, the view over the hill is no longer pitch dark.

Tonight just so happened to be entering the fourteenth night that the moon almost seemed perfect. The light is so soothing to anyone who sees it. White clouds are also seen passing through the night. Plus the cool air, adding this moment of togetherness is getting closer and familiar.

The princes and princesses knew each other's names. Some of them are also close. It could be felt by Ara because he always paid attention to the princes and also the princess. No doubt with his ignorance, increasingly make a lively atmosphere. He is like a matchmaker who is doing his job.

"Good night, Prince, Princess."

Ara greet. He stood in the midst of princes and princesses. The one where the prince sat lined up on the right, while his daughters were on the left. The number of princesses that are more than the prince makes Ara a little hesitant to play this game. But since the show had been arranged as best as possible, he finally carried out his duties.

"Good night, Miss Ara." The princes and princesses greeted him.

Ara then explained the game that was about to start tonight to the princes and princesses. He looked calm and cheerful too.

"So the princes are only allowed to write one princess's name, Miss?" one of the princes asked Ara.

"Yes, Prince. A prince can only write one princess's name. So also with the princesses, can only write one prince's name."

"Huh, okay."

"I think one prince can write two or three princesses' names" said the other.

"Maha." The other prince laughed when he heard it.

"Alright, it's understandable, yes. We'll start the game soon. Started the princesses, please."

Ara asked the princesses to introduce themselves one by one to the princes, so that the princes did not mis-write the names and origins of the princess he chose. And finally, the twenty-five princesses had finished introducing themselves.

"Thank you, please sit back." Ara invited the princesses to sit back.

The fifteen princes had finished writing down the name of a princess he had chosen. And now it's the princes' turn to introduce themselves, and the princesses choose her. Only one prince's name will be written by the princesses.

A few minutes later...

"It's all, huh? All right please collect."

Ara received a paper from the selection of the names of princes and princesses. Which names are called will come forward to be matched. If it does not fit, then the one who chooses must step back and sit back. This game certainly invites jokes and also laughter.

Hm, let's see who chooses each other here.

Minutes by minutes passed. Finally there are only two princes who have not been mentioned to choose whose daughter. And immediately Ara was shocked as she read the name of the princess chosen by Zu.

In-dia ...?

Ara wanted to read her name, but she was embarrassed.

"Why, Miss. Is there anything funny?" ask one of the princesses who is sitting.

Ara held back her laughter. He hesitated to mention who Zu had chosen. Zu himself seemed to be smiling to himself.

"Come, Miss. Quickly tell me who was chosen by Prince Shu and Prince Zu!" shouted the other prince.

Inevitably, Ara mentioned who the two had chosen. And result...

"Prince Shu ... none of his elect." Ara turned Shu's paper.

"Yuuuuu!!!"

Everyone was cheering Shu right then and there. Some mocked him because Shu had not written a single name. Shu himself seemed to be holding back his regret.

"Hey, that's it." Zu restrained the sister's irritation by patting her shoulder.

The event continued and now Ara will mention the name of the princess chosen by Zu. But again, he held back the laughter.

"Miss Ara, hurry up. We're curious."

"Yes Miss. Just tell me who Prince Zu chose."

Ara took a deep breath. He then mentioned who Zu had chosen.

The princesses are waiting.

"That's ...,"

The hearts of the princesses were racing even more as this was the last prince to choose. And it turns...

"It's me" continued Ara later.

"What?!" The princesses glanced at each other.

"Hey, Zu. Why choose Ara?" The other prince asked Zu.

"Well, congratulations, Miss Ara." One of the princesses applauded Ara.

Zu finally advanced forward, approaching Ara. He then wrote on his paper the name of Ara who also chose him.

"This is called coercion" chirped one of the princes.

"Maha." The other prince laughed hearing that.

The princesses finally accepted the results of the election. And it turns out there are four couples tonight who will be temporary couples. Those who are not elected should try to get closer.

Oh, my God, he forced me to choose him.

Finally Ara tonight has to pair with Zu. He's not going to be with Zu tonight. The bonfire was done with great joy. Some of them were singing and also laughing. Until finally the time has begun to enter early mid-night, around ten local time.

"Miss."

"Hm?"

"I'm sorry I forced you out."

Zu is seen sitting with Ara by the campfire. Both of them were looking at the beautiful full moon.

"Yes, I can't say anything. But that was funny, Prince." Ara looked timid because she was chosen.

"It should be from the beginning of the game that I choose you" Zu said again.

"really?"

"Hem, yeah. But I don't know why tonight there's such a strong urge to vote for you." Zu turned to Ara who was sitting on his right side.

"thank you. I'm .. very happy." Ara smiled in response.

Zu looked back at that sweet smile. His heart was pounding as he sat with the girl. Their distance was only about two feet.

The night air grew colder and colder, making Ara swipe her palms together. Zu also realized that. He immediately took off his robe and put it on Ara's body.

Prince ...?

There was happiness in Ara's heart. Somehow he felt so calm when he was near Zu.

"Wear my robe."

"But ...,"

"What's wrong. I still have another robe."

Tonight they finally spent time chatting together until the drowsiness hit the girl. Zu then invited Ara to sleep first.

"Good night, Prince." Ara said goodbye to her tent.

"Good night" Zu replied with a smile.

Zu's so happy tonight. He almost yelled excited because he could be alone with Ara. He looked at the moon shining brightly and prayed in his heart.

Lord .. I'm sure she's the woman I'm looking for. Bring us closer and give us a way to be together forever.

Zu smiled along with his prayers that rose to the sky. He also recalled his memories with the girl. Closing this night with happiness that cannot be expressed in words.
