Three waiters with one butler approached us with different types of food we ordered, the butler also explained the different types of dishes in great detail and I was curious about the menu that the order handmaid chose for me. Until some of the menu was served and now a waiter put a plate filled with vegetables in front of me, I pensively looked at the food and could not wait to know its name.
"Ratatouille. In French this food is commonly referred to as ratatouille nicoise, the ingredients consist of.." Unfinished butler said, Brother Jester cut.
"Here you go, get out of here" said brother Jester sounding annoyed, I also looked at the face of brother Jester who looked once if he was angry.
"Well young master." said to the servant and then the four of them left our table.
We were silent but not looking at each other, I thought my jokes would make our date even more exciting but it turned out I was wrong. But what can be expected of me who does not have any experience in this love affair? I just wanted to make this date memorable with a laugh, but I was too naive to see that everyone would have the same perspective as me.
"Sister..are you mad at me?" I asked in such a sad tone, Brother Jester turned his eyes to look at me with a surprised face.
"Eeeh. ti. no, I'm not mad at you. I. I have no right to be angry with you" he replied and then again avoided looking me in the eye, I sighed and then re-glazed my hand on the table and brought my body closer to the table.
"What I said was a lie, I was just pranking you" I said
My words when it made my brother Jester surprised and then looked at me sharply, we also stared at each other in silence long enough because it seemed like brother Jester did not believe the words - I said. Slowly, Jester shook his head several times and then lowered his gaze again, his breathing sounding so heavy.
"No need to comfort me" said Brother Jester
"I'm not comforting you, brother, I really mean it" I chimed in with annoyance, but Brother Jester paid no heed to me at all.
Brother Jester then directs both hands to eat the dish in front of him, seeing brother Jester as if no longer interested in me makes my heart hurt. I sat back and looked at my dish without touching it at all, "Will this ruin our relationship?" my question is in my heart.
"Eat it, Luna.." said Brother Jester, I shook my head.
"I'm sorry.. I'm not feeling good.I'm going to change the money to buy this food" I stammered and with a feeling so sad, I was sad... I wanted to cry at that moment (
How can I taste to eat if my prince looks upset because of my actions, it looks like I have to learn how to date a rich young man. Not only are our economic gaps different, our jokes are very different. Come on Luna.
"Luna...why do you accept papa and mama's request?" ask brother Jester
I was surprised by the question, couldn't he think of the reason I accepted Mr and Mrs Gates' request? wouldn't it be seen in front of him if I loved him too? is he innocent or is he just cheating on me? I lowered my head because I could barely hold back my tears anymore, I was so sorry for teasing her like that. I wanted to have a time machine and change my answer back then.
"I'm sorry." That's all I can tell him
I stood up and was about to leave the place, not to leave it. I just wanted to go to the bathroom, wash my face, remove the signs I wanted to cry... I walked over to where Jester's sister was sitting because she was going through there to the bathroom, so I thought the bathroom was going that way. When Jester's brother's hand clasped my arm, without saying anything we just fell silent for a while.
"Where is Luna?" ask brother Jester to me
"You go to the toilet." I replied
Slowly, Brother Jester's hand took off my arm and I resumed my steps, I continued to walk by lowering my head. At the end of the room, my head stared at a closed door. I stroked my head and saw the door, and there was a glass in the door that could see what was behind it.
A large garden, with a fountain in the middle. I was confused too, didn't I walk to the toilet? I looked for directions to the toilet and I found the toilet behind the door, slowly opened it and walked down the open corridor to enjoy the beauty of the garden.
Until at the end of the corridor I returned confused, I glanced right - left and I found directions to the toilet was to the left. I walked back until I found the toilet, I went inside and went straight to the sink with glass in front of me.
I looked at my face with those reddened eyes, with enough water I wet my eyes and let the water with my tears come out simultaneously. Until a while I was able to control my emotions, I looked back at my face from the reflection of the glass and fixed a bit of my makeup.
I just realized the room was so big, with so many people inside I barely knew where my desk was. "Relax Luna... Calm down, you just walked straight... yakan?" I said in my heart.
I walked straight and my head turned right - left hoping to meet Jester's brother on my way, but I walked to the end of the room and I found in front of me only a large window. "Huh? where's Brother Jester?" ask me, then I turned around and walked back down my steps earlier.
Other visitors looked at me in wonder, I knew the contents of their minds.they thought about what I was doing pacing back and forth in such a place. I tried to ignore all the negative views, but it was difficult because the more I walked, the more eyes looked at me cynically. I walked up to the exit, where I passed by the waiter who had been serving as the receptionist.
"What's wrong, miss?" ask the waiter to me
Relieved that help is coming? no, it was precisely the moment where I finally realized that I could not be in a place like this. I don't deserve to be in this place, well maybe that's a more appropriate sentence. From the beginning they were cynical and looked at me badly, how could I hope they would help me. I'm so stupid...
"Aaa.. anu sorry, I'm lost. Could you please take me to my desk earlier?" I asked her, which I found a cynical smile...
"This lady is just a small room and you're lost? is this your first time in an elite place like this?" she asked cynically, I lowered my gaze and was about to leave that place.
"Miss can't go in and walk down the street like that, it'll bother other guests" she said, turning back but not looking into the servant's eyes.
"How should I go then?" much
"Please wait here, lady, someone will call young master Gates here" replied the waiter, and I foolishly obeyed...
Twenty minutes I just stood in front of the entrance without any clarity as to when I would be picked up by Brother Jester, indeed those who did not want to help me and as if they were driving me away slowly. Some of the visitors who came home saw me and whispered to each other that I believed they were commenting on me, until soon the voice of a man was heard calling my name.
"Luna?" said Brother Jester from behind, I turned around and looked at him with a relieved look I finally met him after a long time.
"Sir.thank God you picked me up, I couldn't find you" I said in relief, but Brother Jester looked at me in surprise.
"What...you mean? I thought you were home." said Brother Jester and I tilted my head slightly indicating I was confused.
"Where may I leave you, I will not do that" I replied, then Brother Jester turned to look at the receptionist who arrived - suddenly lowered his gaze to look at the book.
"Hey you.." chapped Brother Jester to the servant
"Yes young Mr Gates?" the waiter asked shaking
"How long have you seen my partner standing here?" ask Jester by pressing
I knew very well that if Brother Jester would get angry, I immediately ran up to him and pulled his arm so that he would look at me. I had to try to calm him down this time, the incident when we ordered food had frightened me so much.
"Sister, let's just go home" take me to her with a little force.
"Sorry young master Gates, some guests complain about this lady going around inside and.." The waiter said, Brother Jester cut.
"Then why don't you take my partner with me?!!" snapped Brother Jester to the servant so angry.
People's eyes now all staring at us, I was so embarrassed and thought that I should leave that place immediately. While the servant could only bow his head looking regretful of his actions to me, I did not care. Even if he never regretted his actions to me, I would not care about him because I could understand his attitude towards me.
