Chapter 4

The morning sun began to shine. Ira is busy preparing breakfast for her husband and Regina, the only princess. After what happened last night, Ira hoped that this morning there would be no commotion. What happened last night, just got there. This morning, everything had to change with a smile. A mother's best wishes.

The knocking of the door and its call did not receive any authorization at all. “Re, where to enter, yes?” his hand turned the handle of the door of the princess's room. “Re?” call him again for not finding the person he was looking for in bed. Walk towards the bathroom. And, empty, there's no one.

“Papi.” Ira down. With a panicked face, she told her husband that Regina was not in the room.

“Maybe she has already left for the office, Mi.” Surya tried to remember. Picking up a cell phone, trying to contact her daughter. “Regina number could not be reached, Mi.” His face began to panic.

“Kan. She is unlikely to enter work, she is definitely—”

“Quiet first!” surya resolute. “Papi try calling Jessica.” Surya's face looks more worried, the daughter is not with Jessica. Usually, Jessica is Regina's last escape if there's a problem at home. But this time it didn't. Surya is looking for the princess. Plus, his wife blames him for Regina's departure from the house because of her mistake.

“If only last night, Papi, receive—”

“Enough, Mi. Don't make me dizzy!” Surya left home. He's driving his car to Anton's house. He wanted to make a calculation if the man took his daughter away.

That night, Regina secretly leaves the house and goes to meet Anton, at his house. His arrival made the man surprised. Anton is still angry with Surya's treatment, but he also can't let Regina but is in front of his house all night.

“Go home, Re, we shouldn't be like this. It's free that you run away from home, your papa will never like me. You've seen how your papa treats me. Better we—”

“I love you, Anton. I'm not just gonna give up.”

Anton keeps telling Regina to go home, but the woman remains determined not to go home if her papa does not want to marry him.

“Don't be like a child, Re, your papi will actually be more and more disliked me if you are like this.” Anton remains pushy, but Regina's stubbornness is not easy to persuade.

Forcibly, Anton takes Regina to his apartment that he rarely lives in because the woman refuses to be escorted to Jessica's apartment. The problem will be even more complicated if Surya finds out that Regina is in his house.

Are you with Regina? the voice from across the phone.

“Iya, I'll send the address.” Anton disconnects the call and sends the address of his apartment to his best friend.

It didn't take long for Jessica to come. The woman kept knocking on the door with a face that looked very worried. A variety of bad thoughts come to mind when he finds out that his best friend was with Anton all night. Just like Surya, Jessica doesn't like Anton either.

“Anton, you just woke up? What do you do—”

“I did nothing! Look!” Anton pointed to the sofa that had a lot and a blanket, where he slept last night. “I slept on the sofa and Regina in the room.”

Jessica breathes a sigh of relief. “I think—”

“I still have a healthy mind, Jes!” Tukas Anton understands where Jessica is going.

Jessica went into the room where Regina was and woke her up. “Re, let's go home, papi and mami are very worried.”

Regina refused loudly. “Go home yourself. And don't tell me I'm here!”

Jessica was upset. Stupidhead!

“Go home first, Re, don't make things more complicated.” Anton was also upset. Regina is really stubborn.

“I'll go home if papi wants to bless our relationship.”

Jessica goes, it's free to scold a woman who's being blinded by love. Everything is useless.
