Morning meets morning, noon meets day and night meets night again. It's been 5 days I spent just in this old house, I think enough 3 days I was sick and then tomorrow it healed but it turns out after fainting when my pain still continues.
Today my body is well, Wasa is so deft to take care of me. Thank goodness I have someone who can take care of me when I'm sick.
But I feel bad for her, how can I open Wasa's eyes that I've always seen here. Doesn't he have a job? He is the Knight Crown Prince.
I noticed her who was cooking the food, judging from her movements she was troubled once. Of course he's troubled, his family must have servants to take care of the house. He was a man accustomed to swords rather than kitchen utensils.
"Wasa, let me cook." I'll walk up to her.
"No-no, you just sit down. Sick people can't be sapped." he said forbid me.
"But you're that hassle" pointed me at the dishes she made.
"I'm not troubled, after all the food is ripe. You wait a minute." the pekatanya take me to the dining table.
Wasa re-cooked the food she made once in a while she tasted the dishes she made and several times also her face squinted, surely her taste was not appropriate.
I laughed at his reaction, funny face like that and funnier when he wore an apron with a Teddy Bear.
"I'm cool until you laugh like that" she said confidently.
"Lad wlee" teased him.
"I know you're embarrassed to admit it" she said.
This man was very confident even when I first met him.
He's cool, I admit it but didn't tell him. Especially if she wears a knight outfit with a sword on her waist and her medium undercut hairstyle aah don't forget her sweet smile which definitely makes the girls who see her will fall in love.
Men like Wasa must have had lovers, I'm sure so. But if what I'm thinking is true why didn't she bring her lover here? Or introduce him to me?
"Wasa, stop for a minute" I said to her but she didn't budge at all.
"Wasa.." I said again.
"Just a minute, the cooking is over" she replied.
Wasa put the dishes she made on the table then sat right in my face, the food she made was still steaming and the aroma made my stomach hungry.
"I cooked Tuna Soup and Ponche drinks to warm up your body. Aah I also made Baguette Sandwich for later." she said, she took my plate and poured her Tuna Soup.
"Let's eat while warm." continued, I received the plate that was given and then ate it.
The cuisine is delicious.
I ate his artificial food with a voraciously, my stomach that from earlier sounded suddenly became silent by itself. I was too greedy to eat, not realizing that Wasa was just staring at me.
"Nake?" ask her.
I nodded and glanced at her for a while but the netra we met, I was locked by her. But I realized when he started smiling.
"Ke.. Why smile?" I was a little nervous about making it.
"You're beautiful when you're greedy." she held up one hand and looked at me again.
"Have not looked at me, I am not beautiful and eat your food." I was wrong, ooh God my cheeks will turn red if he continues.
"Look at you eat I feel full" she replied.
Where did this guy learn to fight like this?
"Basi know, anyways where there is such a kayak. Eat it or I stop eating it." I threatened him a little bit but not for real, there's no way I'd stop eating this good food.
"Well, good-bye Beryl." she relented to me and ate the food she made.
Some time silence covered the dining table, neither I nor Wasa spoke as we ate, only we enjoyed this meal with pleasure.
After eating I wanted to help Wasa to wash the dishes but she again told me to just sit down, of course I did not follow her peech.
"Wasa, there's something I want to ask" said I in the back, he who was washing dishes turned to face me.
"What do you want to ask?" his words were staring at me.
"You have a boyfriend, right? Who's the guy?" I asked, this question I can't postpone.
I'm sure she has a boyfriend, she might not tell me. But why is his face flushed? Aah she must be shy.
"Ga.gak I don't have a lover." he said, he who had stopped washing dishes to listen to my question now turned his back on me and continued washing dishes.
I can't believe what he's saying, there's no way he doesn't have a girlfriend.
"Well, I don't believe ya."
I'm not going to bully you so tell me, Wasa. I'd like to know.
"Truly, I don't have a lover." she insisted.
"Why don't you have a boyfriend?" ask me.
"My color hasn't expressed my feelings" he continued
She walked off me to the dinner table to put down her newly washed dishes and I followed her from behind.
"So you have someone you like? Who's she?" I am excited.
"Yes, Beryl." she replied quietly, although slowly I could still hear her answer.
Waah, even though he does not have a lover he has a person who likes him. Look, I'm glad to hear that.
"But who? What's her name ?" my question this one hasn't been answered.
"Secret wlee" teased her.
"Iiii tell dong, I'm curious." I whine.
"Well, you'll be surprised and not the time either." he continued, he might not tell me.
"Yes, I also have people I like and I won't tell you." I said, I deliberately spoke like this so that he would be provoked and tell me.
"Who? Who do you like?" her question, her face mimic implied disbelief in my words just now.
"Well, if you tell me I just told you." sip, my offer will start now.
"No, you're just friends with me anyway" he said
Am I caught? Can't get caught if I'm just fishing for him.
"There is, the tree is there. So we just tell each other to break even." I exclaimed, the tree must succeed.
"Wlee" but she just showed me her mocking face.
"Dnyselin... Wasa ngeselin." I said annoyed, my plan failed.
Before long her laughter broke out filling this house, I turned my face away from her and folded my hands in front of my chest. Now I'm more upset that he's laughing at me.
"Haha.... I let go of laughing." said he on the sidelines of his laughter.
"Huuuh laughs until he is satisfied." I said.
"Yes" I replied briefly.
Yeah, I can't force her to tell me who she likes anymore. Maybe later if he is ready to be told that I forgive him and relieve my irritation.
"If so let's change your clothes, I'll show you somewhere." he asked.
"Where are you going?" ask me.
"Enjoy the twilight, let's go before sunset." he continued.
I looked at the window, it was bright outside and it was unlikely that it would rain. Aah I want to get out of the house.
"Let's go." exclaimed enthusiastically, bored also if at home for days.
I went straight to the bathroom to change my clothes, I wanted to take a shower but I thought it would be a long time if I took a shower.
I put on a long, loose-fitting plain green dress without carvings and braided my hair in a Shoelace Braids style that matched my long, shoulder-length hair and dull leather shoes. Now I'm ready to go enjoy the twilight.
I approached Wasa who was waiting for me outside, she did not change her clothes just adding the robe she was wearing.
"Is he ready?" ask her.
"Udah." answered me.
He gave me the same robe he wore. I took a robe in his hand and put it on, every time he came out of the house he always told me to wear a robe because of my grandmother's trust in him.
"Let's go!" exclaiming her.
Slowly the horse ran according to the movement of the bridle controlled Wasa, its speed was unlike some time ago when I went with her. The horse was running at a moderate pace and I was able to enjoy the sight before me.
"Other times the pace is like this dong, the time several times I go with you fast mulu mulu his pace." said me.
"Depending on the situation, Beryl." she replied.
"But I'm more comfortable if the pace is like this." I continued.
No answer came out of Wasa's mouth, maybe she was concentrating on riding a horse. I turned my gaze again towards the streets to be taken, I tried to memorize it. Who knows if it will be useful for me, I feel that someday something big will come my way.
The journey to take the place that Wasa said was quite far from my old house. It even had to pass through a forest with many large trees surrounding it. Until it reaches in front of a cave that is not too big. Wasa placed and tied the horse we were riding in a tree not far from the cave.
"If we walk for a while from the mouth of this cave we will meet the place I mean." he said, I nodded and followed him from behind.
"What name do you mean?" ask me.
Wasa did not answer him and still continued his steps until he came to a light coming out of the cave walls.
"What a beautiful place this is!!" I exclaimed in amazement.
Really, this place I'm seeing is really beautiful. There is an uninhabited beach, the water is bright blue and the waves are calm. Then around the beach there are wild deer that are sunbathing, some towering coconut trees and small hills surrounding. It turns out there is a place behind this cave that is very beautiful, my eyes sparkle to see the scenery like this painting from the top of the cave.
"Do you know where a place like this comes from? How lovely!!" I shouted at Wasa.
"I know for a moment, during the war a few years ago I accidentally hid in this cave because at that time I was injured. You know that forest we passed? It was Ace Forest, a forest that became a place of war with the Kingdom of Iradel but the war at that time won the same kingdom of ours. Now we are on the north side of Ace Forest while the battle is on the south side. And that's how I found this place, you like it?" ask her.
"Yes I like it!" answer me enthusiastically.
I glistened at the sight in front of me while he glistened to see me happy.
"It's pretty" she said.
I looked towards her and confirmed her words, I thought what she said was beautiful was this scene before us.
"You want a Baguette Sandwich? I'll take it so you don't get hungry." she handed me the food she made.
"Thank you" I said.
I ate the Baguette Sandwich made while looking at the sight that spoiled the eyes without realizing Wasa left me. An object that was rolling stopped right next to me, I took it.
This object is round like a coin but may be 4 times the coin. On the surface of this object there is a picture of Common Loon Bird with Cemeti circular around its neck and then there is an inscription between the legs of Common Loon bird, Moizs.
The moizs? Like I've heard that name, but where?
Suddenly a memory appeared in my head, only a fleeting shadow. There was the face of a man carrying a bloody whip around his neck and he glanced at me.
Who's the guy?
Instantly the memories that appeared were scattered as Wasa gave me a potion made of clay.
"Let's not choke" he said.
I received the drink that she gave me with half a daydream, I still think of the one that my mind just remembered.
"Beryl.." said Wasa beside me.
"What's that in your hand?" continue her.
I opened my hand and showed it to Wasa.
"Eeh this is mine, how is it on you?" ask her.
"Have you?" I see that symbol once again, moizs? Isn't that also Wasa's last name?
"Do you know what this is?" I wonder what symbol this is.
"That's my family symbol, Moizs." she replied.
Is the man who appears in my memory related to this symbol? Moreover, the posture of the man and Common Loon Bird with a whip on his neck is also the same.
My feelings became unpleasant.
"Wasa, can you tell me about your family?" ask me carefully.
"Hmm where did it start." said he was confused.
"I am the third of three children in my family, I have two older sisters but my first sister died of illness and my mother died a few days after I was born. My family is a Tier 1 Nobility after a long process and the father of one of His Majesty's current confidants" he said.
"My first brother and mother are gentle and loving people while my second brother is my father, they are equally firm without mercy but even so they remain my family." continued.
"How is your relationship with your father and your second brother?" ask me.
"As in general, the nobles are, but it may be a little different. We have rarely met since I was an adult, I also rarely go home because of the many tasks of the kingdom." he said expressionlessly.
"Tell me about your father, Wasa" when I heard what he said somehow I felt so uncomfortable about his father.
"My father yes... Like I said, I'm not too close to my dad, so I don't know much about him. But besides being firm, my father also cannot be denied, what he ordered to do because it made me feel uncomfortable being in the house. Thank goodness I became a royal knight so it's no problem to go home." he continued.
"Lantas what about you? What are you like?" ask me again.
Wasa did not immediately answer my question, she silently looked at me for a while.
"I don't know what other people judge me like but to be honest I can be firm and gentle as things go. If I want something I won't let go until I feel tired myself and vice versa. I'll show my side to people I trust and cover it up from people I hate." she replied.
"What do you think I am?" ask him to me.
"I don't know, I can't remember about you" I answered honestly, no matter how much effort I made to remember what happened before I moved, it still didn't pay off.
"It's okay, just slowly remember Beryl" she said and smiled at me.
I did not answer or ask her again, right now my feelings are really crowded. It was as if something was stuck in my chest when she told me about her family, especially her father.
Between us was a long silence, I was busy with my thoughts and Wasa was enjoying a piece of Baguette Sandwich as well as the scenery before her without realizing soon the sun would set.
"Wasa, aren't you afraid? Soon the day will change, we never know what will happen in the future" I just said.
"I'm not afraid of what's going on, I'm just grateful for every moment of my life. As it is now, sit with you waiting for the sun to set." her reply was sincere.
At the very least, his answer made my sense of tightness slightly less.
Yes, now I just want to enjoy the beautiful moment in front of my eyes, the sun will set.
