Aksaberyl
The Princess and the Boy

..."There is a daughter who is loved by two men, both of whom come from prominent families. The princess was confused as to who better be her husband while the two men were so persistent as to get the princess' love. If I was in that condition maybe I'd be just as confused as the princess."...

In the middle of the world, I shut myself away from everyone. When other people gather somewhere on Sunday night I just stay home. But now it's weird since moving into the past I'm trying to open up to people I never knew.

"You must know that the Crown Prince is very handsome" he said.

How handsome is he until OL praises him?

"You can definitely meet her. Why did the Crown Prince suddenly ask? Did you dream of it?" ask her.

"Ti.no, I'm just curious. I'm going to sleep again." I told him.

The question made me suddenly nervous, the dream was also very strange.

"You sure you're just curious?" ask again.

"Yes OL, what else is it?"

"Who knows you like the Crown Prince" he said lightly.

"No, I never met" I said.

After OL no longer asked, I was reluctant to speak.

Outside I heard the rain start to subside, at what time it is but my eyes have not been sleepy since waking up from a dream and OL was the same as me.

"Beryl, still not sleeping?" her question broke the mood.

"Not yet."

"Thinking about what? Usually, it is difficult to sleep because of a lot of thoughts" he continued.

I have a lot of OL thoughts.

"Still thinking of the Crown Prince?" ask her again.

"No." I replied briefly.

"Want to hear a story? Who knows if you've listened to my story you're sleepy." she asked.

"What story?" ask me curious.

I changed my sleeping position to face her.

With a smile that I can't understand she started the story.

"One day there was a princess from a respectable family who was walking among the forest trees. Unaccompanied by the servant who was usually ordered by his father to protect him because the princess just wanted to be alone. He's his only son from that respectable family and his name is Beryl." he said.

"Loh Beryl? why is his name Beryl?" ask me.

"What I'm telling you is the owner of the name" she replied.

Please deh Ryl, Beryl's name on the face of this earth is a lot.

"Yes go on." I asked him.

"When he was walking around he found a young boy who was injured. The boy's face looked anxious with blood coming out of his right knee and a noose wrapped around his leg. The princess thought the boy was accidentally entangled in a rope trap set by hunters to catch wild animals so she helped the boy according to his heart." OL continued.

"It must be that boy's sloppy." I chimped in.

"Maybe, Ryl." OL said.

"The boy's daughter's benevolent color gradually improved even though it was still visible on her face when the boy felt pain. After trying to treat the boy the princess intended to leave again leaving the boy alone but the boy held back the princess's arms hoping that the princess would not leave it's that fast." he said.

"The boy said 'Thank you for helping me, can we be friends?' the boy dared to ask the princess. Before her the boy never wanted to be friends with the other children but because he felt the princess was his helper and also kind so he wanted to be friends. And the princess replied 'Okay I'll be your friend.

"Is that how the princess answered?" ask me a little wonder.

"Yes, Beryl answered that easily." OL replied by emphasizing the word Beryl.

I feel like she's been telling me my childhood, but I don't remember my childhood stories.

"His story got there?" ask me.

"There's still a continuation of it, Ryl." replied OL.

"After the princess replied in agreement the boy had started to identify himself 'My name is Aksa, your name?' holding out a hand like this." Practice in front of me.

Isn't Aksa the name of the Crown Prince?

"Let's get my hands back and say your name" OL asked me.

I followed his instructions too.

"My name is Beryl." I welcome OL's hand.

"This is how they began to get acquainted" OL said without letting go of my hand.

"But I find it strange, isn't that boy's name his Crown Prince?" ask me.

Why is his name mentioned? Beryl is the same as my name, Aksa is the same as the name of the Crown Prince and the dream was also me and the Crown Prince.

"As I said earlier, Ryl." she replied without explaining why.

Okay, now OL's weird.

"I continue yes... Since they met the boy, he began to approach the princess as if taking her for a walk together, meet in the flower garden to invite each other to a small meeting that is usually held by the nobles" he said.

"What is the parent's response?" ask me.

"Their parents agreed that they were good friends" he replied.

Ooh, now I feel sleepy this story is boring right.

"They spend time together for some time until an event happens between them. The events that divide their families until all that remains are only major injuries" he said.

"Wounds? What was that event?" I began to wonder.

"Truely the boy was as long as he was friends with the princess he liked the princess, even hoping to be together continuously with the princess. Many sweet memories with the princess who had been kept in her heart. Since the events they no longer relate, the princess goes away from her and the boy is in chains in a dark room."

OL continued with the story but for my question just now he didn't answer.

"My question was not answered yet" I told him.

"It was a terrible thing for me to tell you, Ryl" she said.

Okay, he won't tell me.

"But why is he in chains?" ask me more and more curious.

"The intent on the chain was just a figure of speech from the brackets. Why is he in the chain? I don't know what the answer is either." OL explained.

"Keep the story's over when he's in brackets?" ask me.

"Prophe Ryl, you're a curious kayak hahaha" OL laughed.

"I'm not really curious." I refute stopping the laughter.

"The continuation of the story is that the boy grew into a man and so did the princess. The boy had been taken out of his confinement and in a short time he found the changed princess. The princess turned out to live alone unlike her childhood who had a whole family and servants who always followed her. The boy felt sad and began to find out what the cause until now still has not found his bright spot. But one thing is certain." he said hanging.

"The boy's feelings remain the same for the princess, no matter what happens he will protect the princess even if the princess no longer remembers him" OL said in a sad voice.

Hearing her tell a story makes me sad, what events make the princess to not remember the boy. I honestly look forward to the continuation of that story.

But how did OL know?

"Do you know the story?" ask me suspiciously.

Did he tell anyone close to him? Or is that her self? But it's not possible.

"Hmm yeah I know that" he said not clearly.

"You're so weird" I said.

"You will also know later" he said softly.

"You're getting less clear, mending me sleep again" I said.

I went back to my back to sleep, the more I thought about the more confused story I could get. OL also didn't tell me exactly what he meant.

A few minutes after that, I started to feel heavy sleepiness.

"The boy will continue to wait for you until your memory returns, Beryl." shrieked someone after I slept and I believe it was just a dream.

Without feeling in a matter of a few hours following the sun began to look its rays to the earth. I woke up from my sleep in a light heart.

I saw OL sitting quietly in front of the fireplace, and he was a little tired. His face was also faintly sad. Did he sleep comfortably last night? Or was she not used to her sleeping situation last night?

"What meda?" ask me to break up the reverie.

"Are you awake?" ask her back.

I slowly sat beside her, indeed the morning sun was nice but it was still cold.

"You think?" ask me.

If I'm still sleeping, of course you won't talk to me, OL.

"Hahahah my question is very strange huha." his laughter is discordant.

"Why?" ask me again.

"What's that?" answer with a confused face.

"Why laugh so hard?" ask me.

His face that looked confused to answer was clearly visible.

"Yes it's okay. I thought you'd ask me why I'm quiet." she said.

"Yes that too, so?"

"I was just thinking about the story last night" he said.

He who offers the story he also thought.

"Why do you think about it once it's not your story, OL." I said casually.

If the story is his story then it is natural that he keeps thinking.

"Aren't you thinking?" ask him to me.

"Son, that's not my story." I said.

"If there's a name?" ask her again.

"Yes, I want to take a shower" I said.

But I had not yet stepped into the bathroom a knock on the door made my step stop.

Who is knocking on my door this morning?

I walked past OL who was also standing, why my feelings started to feel bad. And it's true that someone I know came back to my place, Wasa.

"Loh Wasa? Aren't you gonna be here tonight?" ask me a little surprised.

"It just so happens that I just finished my duty and have no intention of going home so I'm here to see you" she replied in a carefree tone.

Without me entering Wasa had already entered my house and see how surprised he was when he knew there was a foreign man in my house.

"Who is he, Beryl?" ask Wasa to me.

"In.he OL, he's my new friend." I replied nervously.

Why am I wearing nervous all the time.

"You sure? he's not a bad guy? is he holding your body? why can you send a grown man into your house?." asked Wasa repeatedly.

I can feel Wasa's pent-up anger.

"I'm sure he's not a bad guy." I guess.

"But how do we know he's not evil, Beryl?" ask her again without letting go of Ny's view of OL.

"Relax prajurut, I'm here there is no intention of messing with Beryl. So what you're worried about isn't going to happen." OL's chimpanzee.

"That's right, Wasa. I just gave her a ride to take shelter because it was raining down last night." I added to believe it.

I just don't want any misunderstandings between us, especially Wasa who has been watching me a lot.

"Yes now you go home, mumpung outside is not raining." pinta Wasa with his style a little creepy.

"Don't be Wasa, she's also my guest." I told her.

We cannot evict guests.

"It's okay Ryl, I'll just go home." said OL who felt bad.

"At least breakfast OL, Wasa you brought food, right?" ask Wasa.

"Yes, but right." said his cut by me.

"We'll have breakfast together first. Oh yeah you guys have to get acquainted, I stay first." I said and left alone.

I hope they can also be familiar even though the first impression after meeting is really bad.

I started managing the food stuff that Wasa brought earlier to be Mushroom Chicken Soup which is not too spicy for our breakfast menu three this morning.

It didn't take long the soup I cooked was cooked and ready to eat with rice, but unfortunately here there is no rice so just eat it without rice, too bad.

"Let's eat, the soup is ripe" I told them both.

While they stared at each other intently, I was like a mother with incompatible children. Haaah that's a weird joke.

"Please get me a bowl, Ryl" said Wasa.

"Manja, take it for yourself." - cynical OL chimpanzee.

"It's up to me that dong Beryl doesn't mind either, does Ryl?" tanya Wasa asked for my approval.

They are childish but funny.

"After that, I will pour soup on you" said I menegahi.

And they quickly handed me their bowl, like a happy little boy. As if they could more quickly familiar definitely my friendship environment with them will mengasikan.

As if there was a relief within me after identifying themselves as my friends, my grandmother here I am not alone.
