King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 23 Happy

We arrived at the door of Nura's house. I did ask a friend of Refald's to bring me here, fortunately he was willing.

I'm worried about Nura because since yesterday he hasn't spoken to me at all. Even today he also did not enter school without any information.

I knocked on the door of Nura's house and it didn't take long for the door to open. Nura came out with disheveled hair. Looks like he just woke up.

I almost jumped to see Nura who was similar to a kuntilanak who had just risen from his tomb. "God! I didn't know you were this scared when you just woke up?"

"Shut up!" he said while yawning and scratching his head. He stretched out his hand muscles and almost hit me. "Why are you here?" tusky.

"I'm just worried about you because you're suddenly out of school. What's going on?" I really want to know what the reason Nura didn't go to school is.

"I don't have to report all my activities to you, do I? Not like you and your fake girlfriend!"

"Whatchu mean? You mad at me?" I was astonished by this sudden change in Nura's attitude.

"Look, Fey. I don't want to talk anymore either. We've been friends since we were Junior High and I have to be honest with you. If you still think of me as your friend, I want you to help me. I've been thinking about this all night and I've made up my mind. But before that, I want to ask you."

I looked at Nura who looked different this time. He who used to act silly now turned cold and strange. It's not as usual. I was thinking, Was he possessed on his way home?

"What do you want to ask?" tanyaku who was also curious what happened to Nura so that he changed drastically like this.

"Do you .. love Refald?" tanyanya direct.

I was surprised to hear Nura suddenly ask like that. "Why are you asking that?"

"Jawab my question! Although your relationship is just pretend, but I want to make sure. Do you and Refald love each other?"

"Your question is strange Nura, I don't understand what you mean!"

"You just answer yes or no? That's all!" Nura looked at me with an angry look, her tone had also started to rise. It's the first time Nura's been mad at me and I don't know why she's like that.

"What is this, Nura!" I started to look at him seriously too. "Tell me! What happened to you until you asked me this ridiculous question?"

"You haven't answered my question!"

"I'll answer your question once I know why you're asking this!" my voice also went up. I started to lose control but I tried to regain control of my emotions.

Nura was silent for a moment, but she immediately said something that stunned me in disbelief. "I ... fell in love with Refald, which is why I want to know ... do you love him too?"

I took a step back in shock at Nura's words. It was as if there was a huge rock hitting me from above.

This I can't believe, Nura can fall in love with Refald?

I'm not surprised because all girls do like it, especially Refald is very handsome and perfect, but I doubt that what Nura feels right now is love. He could have admired Refald for a moment. Although I myself do not know what true love means, I can still understand the difference. As for Nura, I'm afraid he's just amazed at Refald, not love.

This makes me very confused. What really happened to my friends. Could it be that they felt the same way as I felt? Is my feeling for Refald, also just a momentary awe.

"Tell me, Fey! Do you love him too?" Nura repeated her question because I never answered.

I honestly can't answer Nura's question because I myself am still confused by my own feelings. I admit, I felt that I was starting to like Refald and was getting used to him. All this time I put my feelings aside because I want to focus on making my friends happy who have been loyal to me.

Ever since Refald decorated my days, I became excited and realized the importance of our friendship. I was thinking of ending my engagement when I returned to Japan. That's because I want to find my true love and I hope that Refaldlah is the one. Every surprise he gives me gives me the strength to forget the past and get back to living my life in the future.

If what Refald said at that time is true. He wanted to make me fall in love with him . So without any effort, I've started to love him. But I try to deny that feeling because I want to make the people around me happy first.

Today, I know a surprising new fact, and I have to make a quick decision. It seemed, I had to erase my love for Refald because Nura wanted it. I don't know if what I'm doing is right or not.

I'm not sure if Refald would approve of my decision, I don't want to fight with him anymore. The matter of Yua and Epank had put us into a fight until I forgot that I had not given her a birthday cake and today I scolded her for trying to protect me. He even dropped his pride by hurting the woman who was bothering me. I was very cruel to him. I didn't know what to do, because I had to choose between my best friend Nura and Refald, the person I was starting to love.

"Excuse me... am I interrupting?" ask someone who was none other than Refald's friend who drove me earlier. I almost forgot he was still here. Maybe he waited too long for me to catch up with me.

Nura was aghast at the good looks of this guy. Hurriedly he tidied up his appearance with his hands without letting go of his gaze at the man who was now standing between us. The tension between the two of us also suddenly disappeared.

"Fey, who is he?" Nura approached and stood next to me, but she did not see me. I'm not feeling good about this guy.

I also don't know what her name is so I myself am confused on how to introduce her to Mia. Fortunately, this guy understood and introduced himself.

"Oh yes .. I forgot that I haven't mentioned my name. That's why your friend doesn't know. Hi, I'm Eric .. Refald's friend." He extended his hand to Nura and Nura immediately greeted the helping hand with a sweet smile made as sweet as possible. His angry face turned happy. His eyes began to sparkle, even Nura did not want to let go of Eric's helping hand. "Sorry .. Can you let go of your hand? I'm starting to go numb."

"Oh, of course .. sorry," Nura immediately let go of her hand and she began to whisper again in my ear. "Why didn't you tell me that Refald had a friend this handsome?"

I was surprised to see the change in situation between us. It was only a few seconds ago that Nura wanted Refald and now he is fascinated with his friend as well. Nura has started to return as usual.

Just be right! What happened to this kid? what demon possessed him last night?

"I don't know either. .. We just met." I whispered back. "So how? Who do you like? Refald what is he?"

"What are you talking about? Refald is your boyfriend?"

"What's? But ... You just said you loved her?"

"Are you crazy? You think I'm not sane? How can I love my best friend's boyfriend!"

"What?" I can't believe this.

How could he be so wishy-washy? I wanted to pin the head of this rancid girl. I was in vain for a broken heart.

"Fey ... Can we go now?" ask Eric.

"Okay, come on." I can't stay here long either. If it takes too long, I can really go crazy because of Nura. Thank goodness she's okay so I don't have to worry anymore.

"Wait on! Where are you going?" Nura confronted us.

"We have to meet with Refald. He's been waiting, we'll excuse you" Eric replied. He left and I followed him from behind.

"But ... Fey, what's going on? Explain me? You having an affair?"

"What?" eric and I screamed together.

Nura's starting to piss me off. I don't know what he's thinking right now. I want to explain but Eric first stepped forward to approach Nura.

"So your mouth, miss. Fey loved only Refald and Refald loved him too. I just drove this Miss to see her boyfriend because they were fighting. So don't talk shit." Eric looked at Nura with a deadly look.

Without speaking Nura nodded, either he understood or was frightened by Eric's gaze which was indeed more sinister when compared to Refald when he was angry. Unfortunately I was surprised by Eric's statement which I thought was too excessive. For neither I nor Refald can be sure how we really feel.

Nura doesn't comment anymore, maybe he realized that he was wrong about me and Eric. We finally left Nura's house while shaking hands. I was still staring at Nura who saw us leave her courtyard.

I'm not sure how Nura feels. Is he still insisting on his feelings that start to like Refald or change course turn on Eric. The guy he just met. I don't understand Nura's silly and childish thinking.

I have promised anyway. I'll make sure Nura feels again later. Whoever he likes, I will support him, if that's what makes Nura happy. It's either Refald or Eric.

Eric took me to Refald's villa, which his owner had been waiting for in front of his house. From a distance I could see Refald pacing back and forth in agitation. As soon as we saw it coming. He immediately welcomed us.

"Where have you guys been? Why so long?" yells.

I got off the bike seat without talking to Refald. Although I started to realize how I felt about her, I was still upset that she left me alone at school just like that. I turned around and was ready to walk home to my grandmother without talking to Refald or seeing him.

"Where are you going?" asked Eric who was also standing next to his bike.

"I'll go home first! Thank you for giving me a ride" I said as I continued my steps.

"You can't go home!" shout Refald. "You should bribe me. I'm hungry and haven't eaten because I'm waiting for you."

I smiled bitterly at the words of Refald. "Oh yeah?" I turned around to see him. "You're mad at me? Leaving me alone in school like a fool! Then now you want to wait for me just because you're hungry? That's grand! You're amazing!" I looked at him in anger. Refald also looked at me expressionlessly. "Mr Eric!" I turned to Eric who was standing next to Refald. "I'm asking for your help once again. Please feed him for me! I want to go home, there's a lot I have to do and I'm too tired to deal with people like him."

I walked away quickly to the gate of Refald's villa, even running so that Refald wouldn't come after me, though I wasn't sure he would.

Today I want to be alone. I don't want to see Refald again. I hateit. I'm sure what I feel for her is not love, but hate.

How can I love someone as selfish as him? He doesn't even care how I feel. He's really selfish! You idiot! I would have gone crazy if I felt attracted to him. It must be just a momentary feeling.

I ran and kept running. Unknowingly my tears fell. I stopped and wiped these tears. I can't be weak anymore. Even though he gave me the strength to get back up. I can't get lost in my own feelings.

But why does it hurt?

I tried to calm myself down because I didn't want grandma to ask me what I didn't want to hear. Because I don't have a good reason to ask my grandmother why I'm crying.

You're strong Fey! Before you get through this, it's nothing. There's more to do than fall in love.

To be honest, I really couldn't forget his words back then. He wants me to fall in love with him. I'm confused, I don't know what to do or how.

I was surprised that suddenly someone pulled my hand from behind and grabbed me in his arms. At first I rebelled, but not after hearing Refald's words.

"Sorry .. has left you alone. I promise I won't do it again, I'm worried about you. I went there looking for you, but you're no longer in school. I went to your house and your grandmother said you haven't come home yet. I can't call you because your phone didn't come with you. I was so worried I didn't know what to do. Thank goodness Eric called me." Refald let go of his embrace.

I was surprised to hear his explanation. I can't believe he was worried about me.

Slowly, he looked at me. His eyes shone a million anxieties inside. This is the warm side of Refald, which can make me feel calm. I remember that night, the night we were at the villa to see the supermoon. Refald hugged me like this. It's just that I couldn't see his face because it was too dark, but now I know it. It was obvious that he really loved me. Although he did not say it, his sad eyes, could already give me certainty.

I bow my head. Hiding happiness. Maybe what Eric said was right, we love each other. Only, there is a gap between us, the status of my engagement is still unclear.

I had already decided that I would hide this feeling first, until I met with father to talk again about my next engagement status.

"I have to go home first!" I gathered my courage to look at Refald who was still looking at me. "There's a lot I have to do today. I think I'm on vacation first."

"Follow?" He scrunched his forehead because he did not understand what I meant.

"I can't feed you for today. Because I'm going to my mother's house to pick up and prepare some equipment for tomorrow's survey. I will also stay there, because tomorrow I will leave with my friends from there. For a while, eat with Eric. You don't mind, do you?" I'm waiting for Refald's reaction.

"What time are you there? Let me take you!"

"No need, after this I and Yua will go somewhere first. She's probably already at my grandmother's house."

Refald was silent, like he was thinking about something. "You sure you can be alone?"

I laugh. "Come on, I've been used to being alone for the last seven years or so. Don't underestimate me, after all, there's Yua with me."

"Well then, be careful!"

I nodded and left Refald. I don't know how Refald is feeling right now, which I obviously feel .. very happy.
