King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 24 Gift
Yua was waiting for me at Grandma's house when I came. “Sorry Yua, Did you wait for me for a long time?” I asked when I saw that Yua was already sitting in the living room.
“No, I just arrived. Where'd you? Why just arrived?”
“I'll tell you on the road. I change clothes first.”
Yua nodded. He sat back in the chair and read the newspaper that was available under the living room table.
I went straight to my room and changed my school uniform with blue t-shirts and black jeans, and I combined it with a sweater so that my body would not get cold while driving on the road. Because, now it has entered the rainy season, even though this place has never been rained at all. Just wait for the time when it will rain.
As soon as I finished preparing and packing, I went to see my grandmother and asked her for permission that today I would stay at my mother's house that I had previously stayed at. I also explained what activities I would do tomorrow so that my grandmother would not worry if I did not come home.
“Be careful, Fey.” says grandma.
He doesn't mind anything I do. He always supported me. It was also what he did to my mother when she was a teenager. “You look a lot like your mother if it's like this.” grandma looks at me teary-eyed.
“I know Grandma, Grandma already said it. I'll go first, Grandma. See you soon.”
Grandma nodded with a smile.
Yua and I went to my house first. Check out some of the equipment needed for tomorrow's survey. Including preparing supplies of medicines that are needed to be on guard if someone is injured.
“How? Is there anything less?” I asked Yua.
Yua was still observing some of our equipment. “I think this is more than enough. You prepared it perfectly. Why aren't you the only one in your organization? I'm sure your members will be more prosperous if it continues like this.”
“I'm not interested. I was forced to be the chief executive of this activity because they all forced me to. There is no other option anymore and I can't refuse either.”
“Alright, Our preparations are done. Where will we sleep? The sun has set.” Yua looked at all the empty rooms around him. “Your house is not much furniture.” comments Yua.
“This house is full of memories for my parents Yua. Even though they don't live here anymore. I don't want to change their memories so I'll just leave it this way. We'll sleep in my room, on the second floor.”
Yua nodded in agreement. I know he's curious about me and my family. But he didn't want to find out if I didn't tell him myself.
“Ehmmm ... what will we do now?”tanyakanya.
I saw my watch, it was six in the afternoon. Suddenly my phone rings. There's a message coming in, and it's from Refald. I opened my bag and checked what the message was about.
Refalds:
[I'll be there tonight]
I smiled reading the message.
“You look happy today? Did something happen?” Yua watched me.
I put my phone back in my bag after reading Refald's message without replying. “Nothing. I'm going to the cake shop first. Want to come?”
“Sure, what will I do here by myself?”
I smile. We went to the cake shop to buy some cakes that we liked. The location is a little far from my home.

Refald was waiting for me in front of the house when we arrived. He leaned next to his volvo and looked at me. Yua looked at us, it seemed like she understood and understood the situation and conditions. He resigned after greeting Refald and went straight into the house. He doesn't want to disturb us.
“You have arrived.” I approached him with a big box in my hand. “This is for you. Sorry I was late in giving it.”
Refald looked at the big box I had brought for him. “What is this?” ask Refald.
He wears the same blue shirt with the color of the shirt I wear wrapped with hem blue checkered motifs too. We both threw smiles at each other as we realized we were compatible. I don't know why I feel that Refald is so handsome today.
"Don't look at me like that, I can't help you if you're in love with me" Refald said.
"What is true? You see me yourself, too, lest you fall in love with me." I also don't want to lose. I don't know what this feeling is, which I'm obviously happy to see Refald.
Refald laughed cynically. "What would you do if I fell in love with you?" suddenly his face turned serious. Before, I was just kidding.
Refald kept looking at me, I knew where this was going. Actually, I don't want to talk about how we feel about each other. I'm afraid the events in the villa yesterday are repeating themselves.
"What I'm gonna do is, tell you to open this gift, as soon as possible." I finally switched the conversation.
Refald was still looking at me, as if he knew I was switching topics.
"Actually, what's in this box?" tanyakanya.
“Open it!” I said with a smile.
“Sorry, I'm not sure how old you are. So, I bought you some candles.”
Refald looked at me with a look that made me feel wrong. I remembered my conversation with Yua when we were at the cake shop this afternoon.
“Who's birthday? Isn't your birthday still long?”
I was confused how to explain it to Yua. I'm really embarrassed to admit it.
“Yesterday is Refald's birthday. He can't celebrate his birthday with the people he loves because of me. So, I can only do this for him. Even though his birthday is past.”
“He's birthday? When?”
“When he invited us to eat together, when we met Epank and Via. It was his birthday. He should have been upset at that time. Maybe because he couldn't celebrate it with his family and loved ones.”
Yua nodded in agreement with my words. He even helped choose the right birthday cake for Refald.
“Fey, I think Refald likes you!”
I was surprised to hear Yua suddenly speak like that. “Why do you think so?”
“Do you not feel? His gaze when he saw you was different when he saw someone else.”
I thought about what Yua just said. True, Refald did see me more often when he was spoken to by others who he thought were not important.
Like when Lisa asked her to get acquainted, she had no regard for him at all. She would rather look at me than listen to Lisa. Then, when I spoke to Epank, he also paid more attention to me than to see Epank's reaction as we chatted.
In addition, he also asked me to fall in love with him for no apparent reason. It would make sense for Yua to say that Refald did like me. The only question I have is, he already has someone he likes. That was the reason he was here and found the person he liked. After all, she herself also knew, that I already had a fiancee. Why does he want me to like him. That's what I don't understand until now.
This is so weird to me. I tried to run away from the fact that I liked it too but I couldn't. This feeling is so strong that I can't escape it. I finally decided to follow this feeling.
“Maybe you're right Yua, I also wonder why she likes me. I was the cause of chaos in his life. I've made his hand hurt, I don't even know if the wound on his hand was successfully healed or not.”
“Does ... You like it too, Fey?”
I just smiled looking at Yua. It's not time I confessed my true feelings. In fact, I do like Refald.
Now, Refald is in front of me. We look at each other.
He is perfect, handsome, handsome, cool, and the dream of all the women in the world. To me, Refald was the first man to impress me and be curious about his mystery. Is it possible that he has the same feelings as me?
“Blow that candle!" I looked at Refald who was still looking at me. "I haven't celebrated my birthday since my mom died. I'm not used to singing birthday songs. I just know before blowing out that candle, you should make a wish while closing your eyes.”
Refald did not speak. He closed his eyes for a moment, and blew out all the candles until the fire went out.
"Happy birthday, Refald," I said softly. "Hopefully live a long life and what you want can come true.” I smile.
Refald still said nothing. He just kept staring at me. I thought maybe he didn't like this gift.
“Why are you quiet? You don't like the prize?”
Refald was still silent and kept looking at me. I'd be ashamed of myself if Refald kept looking at me like that. Slowly he approached me. He brought his face closer to mine. My face turned red as our lips quickly met. He kissed me, softly and warmly. My heart is beating fast because this is the second time I have kissed someone. The first one happened because of an accident.
I subconsciously closed my eyes, hoping it was just a dream. However, her warm lips on my lips convinced me that this was not a dream.
It's not an accident anymore, Refald really kissed me.
Slowly she stopped the kiss. I was being misbehaved and my face was probably red as a tomato. Suddenly from above a voice sounded ..“EHEEEEMM!”
It was Yua's voice.
Refald surprised. Maybe he forgot that Yua also has divsini. “Yua!” refald said as he looked at Yua who was standing on the second floor balcony of my house.
I myself was also shocked and embarrassed because Yua must have seen all these unexpected events.
“I didn't see anything. So, you guys take it easy,” said Yua casually, even though we both know that he has seen everything.
