Fake Princess
Clxxxvii Chapter
"Whose name?" said Julissa walking backwards in front of him, follow me the woman who walked with her head bowed beside me.
"Wasfiah, Princess," he said in a voice that sounded very soft.
"Call me Julissa, I'm the fiance of Prince Adinata... So it can be said, if you are my sister-in-law's candidate," Julissa continued to him.
"And he who is beside you, you can call him Sachi..."
"Takaoka Sachi, greetings from me, Wasfiah," I continued to recite Julissa's words to him.
"Greetings, Julissa, Sachi," he said again as I pressed my ears to try to listen to what he said.
I turned my eyes to Julissa who turned her back to walk back to us, I followed his steps leading us to a gold-plated door with a lotus flower engraving right on the two closed door leaves...
The two bodyguards standing before the door moved to open the door, along I stepped my feet with Wasfiah following Julissa's step into the room...
Turning my gaze around, there appeared a middle-aged woman standing before us with one...
Ten women stood behind him, I stared at them wearing a long shirt made of a slightly shiny cloth, the golden threads running down the cloth made my eyes not stop staring at them...
The middle-aged woman walked forward towards us, bowing her body in front of the three of us while her hand full of gold bracelets crossed her chest.
"Ajeng Pangestu, aunt of Prince Danurdara Pangestu... I'm the one who will take care of the entire wedding ceremony..."
"I ask the three of you to take off all the clothes you wear" he continued, standing up to us.
"The three of us, but me and Sachi," said Julissa, turning my gaze to her who pointed her right index finger at me.
"This is a direct request from King Bagaskara Pangestu, he wants you both to get the same care as the bride-to-be. So go ahead," said the middle-aged woman named Ajeng earlier, retreating she took a few steps while bending her body back with one hand raised to the side.
A woman who was standing behind Ajeng walked up to me, bent her next to me as her hand was raised towards a three-leafed wooden room full of carvings beside the wall...
Stepping over I approached the wooden room earlier and stood behind it, I turned my gaze to a blackish sheet of cloth with floral patterns tied to each other along the fabric...
Moving I approached the woman named Ajeng earlier with a black cloth had wrapped around my body. Let out my gaze at Julissa who had also walked over with the same cloth wrapped around her body...
"Sit down" Ajeng said, pointing his hand back at Wasfiah who had been sitting in front of him.
I set my feet beside Wasfiah while Julissa sat on the other side, and I looked at the three women walking closer with bowls in each hand...
One of the women was sitting on her knees before me, putting the bowl she had in her hand on to the floor next to her. I looked out at the bowl, it looked visible... The leaves that had been smooth like porridge filled it.
"Your hand, Princess," said the woman as she raised her palm towards me.
"My hands?" connect me while putting my right palm over his palm.
I stared at the woman who had set her gaze towards the bowl earlier, turning my gaze to her fingers who had taken the few leaves with her fingertips...
The flakes of the leaves he directed touched my index finger nails, a slight chill I felt when the leaf grind got thicker covering the nails earlier.
"One of our traditions is that the groom and bride wear the thing we mentioned this girlfriend. If the color is getting red, it means your partner loves you very much," said Ajeng, I turned my eyes to him who still moves his fingers around the object he mentioned the girlfriend to one by one Wasfiah nail.
My body was a little jolted when I felt something cold touch my palm, I turned my gaze to the woman who had put the boyfriend earlier to form a circle in my palm...
I stared at the woman who had moved to do the same thing in the palm of my other hand. He leaned over my leg, grabbed my leg, leaning over his thigh...
Back, he covered my toenails with the boyfriend, he moved his fingers putting the girlfriend around my side like a long thread that surrounds my feet...
Put my feet back on the floor by the woman, I stared at her who had stood before me with the empty bowl. My eyes were distracted at Ajeng who had also been standing before Wasfiah with the bowl in his grasp...
"We'll be right back, make sure not to move too much. Otherwise his girlfriend will be ruined, and if it is destroyed... I will not forgive you" he said, staring intently at us, turning around and walking with the ten women who also walked behind him...
I stared at those who had stepped through the entrance, the door closed slowly followed by the loss of their shadows... I turned my gaze to the palm of my hand that was filled with the leaf grind earlier...
The distinctive fragrance of this leaf, seemed to attract tranquility within me.
