Fake Princess
DXLVII Chapter
I walked a little forward, as did Julissa who came forward with me. I turned my gaze towards Izumi who had fallen several times awake, trying to catch the chicken in front of her. Haruki's laughing voice suddenly sounded very loud when Izumi who slipped grabbed the mud in front of him, then threw the mud to a chicken that he had previously failed to catch.
“She, so stupid,” I glanced towards Haruki, she laughed again followed by index finger rubbing both eyes alternately.
My eyes turned towards Aydin as the sound of his laughter rang out from a distance, “you are so weak! Look, I have managed to catch him,” said Aydin who returned accompanied by loud laughter from him.
“Shut your mouth, Aydin!”
“There are still nine more chickens you have to catch,” cried Izumi and Adinata alternately to him.
“What are you doing?!”
I was aghast as the voice of the female scream, collided in my ear. Julissa laughed loudly beside me as the chicken in Aydin's hands rebelled and then came back. “Why did you release the chicken back?!”
Julissa's laughter grew stronger when Aydin's wives shouted at her, “it's like karma to a man like him. I was very upset, when in Balawijaya he had introduced himself as your future husband,” continued Julissa who returned to voice.
“Adinata, fight!” Julissa shouted loudly by raising both her hands up.
“He's caught it. She ... She's headed here.”
My eyes turned back to the front, I walked forward splitting the few people standing before me, “give me a cloth,” he said by raising his palm forward.
“Sa-chan!”
I looked back, both of my feet walking towards Haruki who had raised a long piece of cloth in his hand. The cloth as I walked back towards Zeki who had held a chicken with both hands. The chicken he held, several times tried to rebel by flapping his wings, “hurry! Give me the cloth!” I got closer to him, and gave him a piece of Haruki's cloth.
Zeki crouched down, he flanked the chicken using both feet while wrapped around the cloth in his hand to the chicken he caught. He went back up with his head bowed, he held firmly the cloth that bound the chicken's legs, so that the chicken could not run away from him.
“I managed to do it, didn't I? Give me a gift for this, later,” he said smiling before crouching back to grab the chicken that was near his feet.
He turned his back, holding the chicken near the wooden door across the street. I also turned around, then walked away from the crowd .. Both of my legs quickly approached Zeki who had bent his body in the middle of the field that had been provided.
I paused beside him, still staring at him, who was tying the cloth that tied the chicken to a wooden stake planted into the ground. “Do you want me to help you?”
He did not budge, still bowed to tie the rope followed by his side legs that bend to hold the chicken that never stopped revolting, “no need. Did you forget, what kind of clothes are you wearing now?” he lifted his gaze for a moment before lowering his gaze again.
Zeki moved, his head moved to the side followed by his two hands that were ruffled at the waist, “men who had caught a chicken, were asked to clean his body to the Lake that was there. What are you?”
“I will take care of him, just do what you are told,” I said who immediately cut his words.
“Why?” I asked back when she was still staring at me.
Zeki shook his head, he walked past me without saying a word. I turned around, looking at him who was walking away. My eyes turned back to the chicken he caught, often walking around the wooden bollard that held him. “You've also finished?” ask me to Julissa who is walking closer with Adinata beside her.
“What Zeki has gone to Lake?” I nodded my head as Adinata squatted while tying the chicken she caught to one of the milestones located not too far from where I was standing.
“Alright,” said Adinata who has returned to stand, “Julissa, I will be back soon,” continued Adinata back who was greeted by a nod to the head of Julissa.
“I'm afraid, if the prophecy is not as good as what I expected,” continued Julissa, she was bowed while tightly grasping the roll of cloth in her hand.
“Adinata, has tried to calm me down. But still I am ...Can not calm down,” continued Julissa again, also heard a sigh coming out of her lips.
“At least, you dare to reveal it. So that, the purpose of his gaze earlier,” muttered me while raising my head.
“Did you say something, Sachi?”
I shook my head slowly, “I was just being, feeling sorry for myself,” I said, sighing, before I lowered my gaze.
Julissa and I were silent for quite a while, occasionally I glanced around the longer. “Did I make you wait too long?” I turned around as soon as his voice sounded.
My head shook, “wear your clothes back, or you can hurt later,” I said as I lifted her clothes in my hand to him.
Zeki grabbed the clothes, his head turned to the side before he bowed, putting the clothes back on. “Zeki!” call me, which makes him drop his eyes on me.
“What's up?” he asked again, he moved closer and closer to me while I was still silent, not yet continuing the conversation.
“Are you sure you want to marry me?”
“What am I, not looking to convince you?”
I threw my eyes to the side, “I hate it so much, your gaze is,” said I who still threw my eyes aside.
“I, do not want to be in a relationship with any man before everything is finished.”
“What else, do you want to say this time?”
“Listen, my words first,” my words that make him back to pursing lips.
“At least, that's what I thought before meeting you back here,” said I walked up to him while reaching for the end of the clothes he was wearing.
“You know, if I'm so annoying, don't you?”
“You know, if my way of thinking is often quick to change, right?”
“You know, even if I can't guarantee what I say sometimes, can't you?”
“I don't care,” answered him who moved forward while tightly hugging my body, “I'm even more afraid, if you don't have a weakness that makes me, I'm afraid, not have any more chance to be able to be with you.”
“I've said it, haven't I? Listen, my word first!”
"Give me a ring after this festival! I want to, we get engaged again ... Not an engagement on the basis of an agreement made by Zeki and Sachi in the past-"
"I get it, I'll buy it. I feel like I'd really like to get you married right now" she said, hugging me even tighter.
