(Not) My Crown Ruler
016

A few hours later, in a different place.

At a princess's house where Anisa lives. The pregnant woman who is waiting for justice is now seen coming out of the boarding room where she lives. After locking the door from the outside, the, Anisa with a small wallet in her hand is now seen walking down a small street that connects her boarding place with the not-so-luxurious residential complex highway with a relaxed pace.

I don't know why this afternoon he wanted to eat apples. Though yesterday Louis had bought a lot of fruits for him, but he felt no taste. The fruit is not finished. Some of them are not even out of their plastic. Her favorite apple is no more. Make him inevitably have to go out of the house alone to buy his favorite fruit.

This afternoon the sun felt so hot. Plus at this time the clock has shown at half one in the afternoon. Anisa who craves to eat apples must walk to the ojek base at the end of the road first to find a ride that will take her to the nearest fruit kiosk.

"Excuse me, sir," said Anisa.

Some of the buskers who were in that place also turned their heads.

"Yes, Neng," said one of the taxi drivers there.

"May you please anterin me to the nearest fruit kiosk, sir?" ask Anisa.

"Oh, can! Can, Neng. Let me take you!" said one of the motorcycle taxi drivers who may be around forty years old.

Anisa smiled and nodded. The taxi driver then hurriedly handed over an old helmet to the beautiful woman. Anisa was about to wear it. But just now the motorcycle taxi driver was about to ride his old motorcycle to take Anisa to the fruit shop, arrived...

Tin ... Tin ....

A luxury car stopped right in front of the base. Making Anisa and some motorcycle taxi drivers there also turned to the source of the sound. A handsome, neat-looking man was seen coming down from the car. With a flat face he walked up to Anisa who was now silent with the helmet still in her hands.

Yeah, it's Louis!

"Where are you going?" asked Louis who was now standing before Anisa.

Anisa was silent for a moment staring at the neat and dashing appearance of Louis.

"You buy an apple" Anisa said then honestly and innocently.

Louis lifted his chin. "Apple? Didn't I buy you a lot of fruit yesterday?"

Anisa. "I'm sorry, but the apples are gone" said the pregnant woman.

Louis was silent for a moment. He seemed to take a deep breath while looking at the woman in front of him from top to bottom. Again, very simple.

"I never said to you, if you need anything, say to me. Just call my number. I'll find it for you. So you don't have to go this way! Remember Anisa, there's a baby you have to keep in your belly!" louis said firmly.

Anisa just looked down. "Sorry" said the pregnant woman.

Louis was silent for a moment. Again he took a long breath.

"Come in! I'm taking you!" said Louis.

Anisa glanced for a moment at Louis then lowered her gaze again.

"Come, comein!" tell Louis again.

The pregnant woman then nodded. He then got into Louis' car after apologizing to the motorcycle taxi driver for not hiring his services.

Louis got in his car. He sat his body in the steering chair and then began to drive the fantastic four-wheeled vehicle down the highway looking for the nearest fruit stall there.

Anisa had just directed her gaze straight out the window without saying a word. While Louis, the man seemed to focus on the steering wheel of his car. Every now and then he glanced at the rearview mirror in the luxury vehicle, stealing a glance towards Anisa who was beside him. Anisa's face looks swollen. Both of his eyes are swollen. It seems like the woman was really crying all night.

Louis took a long breath. Instantly he remembered the recording of a phone conversation between Anisa and a woman he had just heard earlier. A recording of the phone conversation that Betrand managed to get after tapping Anisa's phone and asking for help from the provider of the woman's mobile number.

In the recording of the conversation, Louis could clearly hear the wailing of the woman beside him. Anisa sobbed to tell her story while in this city to the woman who might be her best friend.

Anisa tells about her disappointment with Louis who seemed to doubt the child in her womb. Anisa is hurting. She seemed to be considered like a woman who begged for confession when it was clear that Luke had robbed the woman of her honor. The woman also said, if she had money, then she would not be in this city. Trying to convince Louis that the child in his stomach was indeed their child.

Louis was slapped. He felt pity to hear the outpouring of heart from Anisa who looked so innocent and simple. He feels guilty. It seems to be true, that woman is a good woman. It's just a victim. He is the true victim of the uncivilized deeds that Luke did.

After a few minutes of travel, the luxury car seemed to pull over. Stop in front of a not-so-extensive stall peddling a variety of tempting fresh fruits.

Anisa got off the vehicle with Louis. The man then invited Anisa to approach the shop of the fruit trader who is a middle-aged man.

"Good day! What's it going for, Miss, Mister?" ask the seller there.

"I'm looking for an apple, sir. Please pack a kilo, yes," Louis said with a smile at the end of his sentence.

"Oh, fine, Master!" said the fruit seller. Male

with the hair that began to whiten it then weighed some apples there and put it in a bag of white crackles.

"Please, sir," said the fruit seller while handing over the bag of crackles containing one kilo of apples which was then paid with some money by Louis.

Louis turned to Anisa, who was still silent. "You want something else? Let's go out again" said Louis.

Anisa smiled faintly then shook her head.

Louis quiet.

"Wanna eat?" ask Louis.

Anisa shook her head again.

"Well eat?" ask Louis.

Anisa shook her head again. Louis took a long breath.

"No, if asked, it is answered. Don't shake the mulu's head!" louis sounded annoyed.

"Sorry" said Anisa.

"The answer is also in addition to sorry!" added Louis.

Anisa. Louis breathed a rough breath.

"We'll find food first. I'm sure you haven't eaten yet!" said the man who then handed him an apple crackle in his hand. He walked around his car and sat his body in the steering chair of the four-wheeled vehicle after Anisa who was sitting next to Louis.
