No matter how long it has been raining outside, the night is getting late and getting colder. I close the window tightly, I'm just afraid this old house is leaking because of the continuous rain.
I looked towards the fireplace which was still a lot of firewood, at least this room was warm. And a man was guarding the fireplace so that the wood would burn perfectly.
Now that I'm not alone in this house, there's a man who is clear that it's not Wasa but OL.
Actually, he had intended to leave, I also hope he left earlier, but because it suddenly rained and he claimed not to bring a horse so he had to wait for the rain to subside. Unfortunately, this rain looks good.
"Hey OL, aren't you hungry?" I asked her, my stomach was ringing.
"Yes I think now I'm hungry, Ryl." replied OL and moved from his position.
I looked at the supplies I had, but there was only wheat bread with some cherries that Wasa had brought. I was confused as to what food to make with this ingredient.
"Why, Ryl?" asked OL who had been watching me.
"I'm confused about what to do." I answered frankly.
"It's simple, it's okay, Ryl." she said.
"But how simple is that?" my kelu on her.
He came up to me with a laughing face, I laughed.
"Don't laugh" I asked her.
He obeyed my words but his laughter replaced him with a smile that I thought was annoying.
"Then let me make it, you just sit down." he said while holding onto my two shoulders.
He painstakingly cut the wheat bread with a few slices, then took out a few cherries and split them in half. Once it was enough he took my worn-out pot and sucker and filled the water inside it and placed his buffer in the middle of the pot. Then put pieces of wheat bread and cherries into the pot.
I noticed, OL is so interesting when cooking just like Wasa.
"You like cooking too, OL?" ask me curious.
"That's how." Answer it as it is.
Very short answer.
"His food is ready." said the two plates in his hand towards me.
I finally ate too, and from then on I was holding back the sound of my stomach starving. Now it's time to eat!
I ate the food OL made, this is steamed wheat bread with cherry topping. Simple indeed but when I eat the taste is very good, the taste is also not too sweet.
"Is this one of the nobles' meals as well?" ask her without looking in her direction.
"Yes, do you like it?" ask her.
"Well, I didn't expect to eat this. It tastes good, I like it." I exclaimed at him.
Our eyes met, for a few seconds I was glued to her. Like a magnet I feel de javu.
"Don't look at me like that." I said slowly to him.
"Why?" ask her
"Don't look at me." Repeat.
"You're ashamed.." tease her.
"no, don't be weird." Say me to her.
I looked the other way, she might tease me.
"Hey Beryl, do you have a boyfriend?" suddenly she asked, it surprised me.
"Well, why are you asking that?" say me.
What does this man think of me?
"Thank God" he said without telling me what he meant.
"What about you?" ask me back.
"I'm the same as you but now I've found her" she said with a happy-looking face.
"Oh yeah? Good." I said.
After that, a sense of awkwardness surrounded us.
"Hmm did my question make you uncomfortable?" ask her.
"Yes, that's it." I'm clean.
"Well I'm sorry, I just want to get more familiar with ourselves, maybe we can be friends" he said frankly.
A fella? It means like Wasa, right?
"But why do you want to be friends with me? Our degrees are different, it is very strange if a noble is friends with ordinary people." I said.
Even though I was friends with Wasa who in fact was a noble as well as OL, I could-can say that.
"I'm one of the people who adheres to the principle that friends should not be seen by feather." to be honest.
It turned out that he was one of the rare nobles.
"So, can I get to know you again?" ask me with a convincing face.
Very interesting, he.
"I'm OL." continued while sticking his hand out at me.
"I'm Beryl." Give me back to her.
"Well, is your name like that or is there something else?" Continue me.
He was silent for a while, was my question so heavy to answer?
"No, my name is just that." she said.
But why do I feel like he won't tell me?
"Okay, maybe next time you'll tell me." I said, and she looked a little smiley.
"What about your age?" ask her.
"My age is 27 years, I was born a few days after the 4th king died replaced with the 5th king after ascending the throne" he replied.
"If you?" ask her back to me.
"If I was born when the full moon came and I'm 25 years old now" I said.
Even though I still can't find the memory of my past memories but for my age I still remember them. There was no difference in my age in the past with in the future before I moved in.
"I'm younger" he said.
"What is your favorite color?" continue her.
"I like colors that are not too bright but the impression is calm. Like coffe, walnut, ginger, nude, dusty pink, baby lilac, and many others." I said
But he doesn't understand.
"What color is it? It's hard to memorize." she said to me with a confused face.
"Well that's the color I like, it's a little hard if I'm clear to you. As if here there is a color that I will definitely look at you." I said.
Yes, because that color is the color that I wear everyday in the future.
"It's okay, Ryl" she said.
"When what are you?" Ask me.
"I like black" he said.
"What's with the black?" ask me again.
"Black color gives me strength." to be honest.
There are several types of people who only like one color, there are also several colors or all colors at once, it is natural.
"Good motivation." I told him.
And the other question continued until the night was getting late, I guess the rain was more durable.
"The rain didn't stop, how did you get home?"
I looked at her who was now staring at me.
"Yes... I can't go home now." she said.
"Or are you planning to kick me out?" jahil.
"Maybe." I joked.
There's no way I'm going to throw him out on this raining night, what if he gets sick and holds me accountable for driving him away? Moreover, he is a noble, obviously his degree is higher than mine.
Wasa will be visiting me tomorrow night, so it doesn't matter if this guy stays at my house. I hope so, I don't want Wasa to know at least I don't want her to misunderstand me. But this man can I trust? He was just a stranger who suddenly came into my life.
"Owwh, now your face is creepy, your face is thinking too much. Look, I'm not gonna do anything weird with you, believe me." she assured me.
"I'll take your word" I said.
I'll try to open up my trust in him, maybe I need to add a friend in my past.
I went from my seat to my old bed, I took a piece of cloth blanket for her. Because this old bed was only enough for one person so he would not want to sleep on this wooden floor. So that he did not feel cold I brought him some worn cloth, this is all I have.
"It's a cloth for you, I can't give you my bed but at least I give you this cloth so you don't freeze to death sleeping on the floor of this house. Aah, I'm sorry if it's not like your house" I said frankly.
"No problem for me." she replied.
After her I went to the bathroom to clean up, like my daily routine. When I was done and went back to sleep I saw her lying down, she seemed to have no problem sleeping on the floor.
"Is the floor comfortable?" ask me.
"Yes no problem, it can still be used to sleep" he said.
Because he said that, I don't feel burdened. Thank God he's not a chatty noble.
Seeing her comfortably lying down I followed her lying on my bed. We don't sleep together just share the top, I'm on top and he's downstairs.
"Beryl, I'd like to ask" she said.
"what?"
"What kind of man do you like?" ask her suddenly.
"Don't know." replied me who didn't know.
I didn't really think about it much either in my future life or after I returned in the past.
"Nothing specific?" ask her again.
"For now I don't exist, maybe next time my mind changes" I said.
"Tell me later if you've thought about it." she said.
"Why is that?" ask me not to understand.
But he didn't answer my question, he just smiled at the ceiling of my house without me knowing what it meant.
Never mind, my eyes are too heavy to think of her weird self. Slowly I began to fall asleep and enter the dream world. Leaving her awake.
"Beryl, do you want chocolate?" ask someone.
"I don't want to." I said in the voice of a child.
Why do I just hear voices?
"What about cake?" ask her again.
"I don't want to, why the hell are you bargaining what I don't want? sucks." I said.
"Then what do you want?" ask her.
"I want to be like you, have a sword and fighting skills. I want to be a soldier, not a princess." I said frontally.
I am naive myself.
"For what?" ask her again.
"I want to protect the people I love from the bad guys" I said.
"No need, I'll protect you. I am the Crown Prince's candidate, I am also good at fighting with the palace warriors. I promise I'll protect you, so you don't deal with bad guys." he said.
Crown Prince? So the man in my dream is a future Crown Prince?
"Promise to protect me?" ask me.
"Promise the princess." said he.
Did this dream ever happen in my life? Why do I feel so bad, right?
A middle hand held my hand, it felt warm and coarse-textured. Whose hand is this?
"Let's go, Beryl" said the man.
"Where?" ask me.
This time in my dream I could see the atmosphere around, but for the face of the man who was holding my hand was blocked with light, I could not see his face.
"In front of the king, I mean my father" he said.
The king? Daddy's? Then he's a Crown Prince dong!
"For what?" ask me again.
"Asking for her blessing, we'll marry Beryl" she said lightly.
I'm married to a Crown Prince? What a weird dream is this!!
"Let's not have a long time" he said.
But suddenly the rain of arrows fell in front of me and himself, immediately our steps stopped. With a quick movement the man put me behind him.
"Beryl, stay behind me." she told me.
Wily he exterminated the troops that were out of nowhere, endlessly fighting and protecting me.
"Stop!" scream someone.
I saw that person who was walking towards us, the longer it got closer. And the remaining crowd paid homage to that man.
He was an old man wearing a royal robe and a crown on his head. Is this the one who intends to attack us? Who her?
"Dad?." - The man who was with me.
"What's dad doing here? Did you tell them?" ask the man.
"Yes" replied the old man.
So this old man is king?
I closed my mouth with my hands, I was really surprised by what happened.
"Why are you doing this ?! What does all this mean?" Shouted the man.
"I have prepared a candidate for you, better than him and his position is clearer than that of the commoners." Appoint the old man to me.
"I don't want to! Whatever effort you try to match me to another woman but I only love Beryl until whenever!" yell again.
A plaaakk!!
A slap landed on the man beside me.
"Based on a stupid kid! That's the way you talk to an older person?." the old man shouted at him.
"You made me this way!" replied the man loudly.
"Bring him home!" the old man said to his soldiers.
I could see his face filled with anger, their quarrels scared me.
"I don't want to! If you don't approve of me with her I won't go home at all." threatened the man.
Hearing her words made me really shocked, with a feeling of fear I touched her arm.
"Don't go that way, go home. Your father is angry, if you keep arguing your father will explode. We won't know what happens if your father explodes" I told him.
"No Beryl, I'm not leaving you again. I will atone for my sins by returning together." said the man.
His words made my chest shake, as if I had a strong bond with him I could not help but cry.
"Soldier!" call the old man.
With quick steps they captured the crown prince and forcibly dragged him away from me.
"Beryl!!!" yelled that man at me.
"You're just like your family, once a bitch. You tau? you don't deserve my son. I'm really sorry I didn't finish off your whole family, now maybe when I cut the rope" she said looking down on me.
I who was surprised by his words did not have time to prepare, with 1 second he had taken out a sword and prepared to kill me.
"Wasa!!!!" by reflex I called out to him.
And I woke up from that nightmare, my feelings were chaotic, my heart was also constantly beating. The dream was like a reality that had happened before, I was anxious and my sweat was constantly pouring out.
It was the worst nightmare ever to come my way.
"Hey what are you?" ask the OL who woke up because of me.
I just stared at her, I felt tired after having a bad dream.
"Your face is very pale Beryl" he said.
"I.. I'm fine, OL." I wrote slowly.
"Correct? Did you have a bad dream?" ask her again.
Very bad OL but I can't tell you.
"I want to ask, what is the Crown Prince like? Is he as handsome as the girls say? Or have a special skill? Can a man like me meet him?" tell him.
Without me realizing OL's face was happy after some questions I asked him and this was the beginning I related to him.
