King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 46 of the Seed of Love

“What's Yua?” ask Epank. Instead of answering Yua's question, he ignored the man and approached the police who brought Bayu.

“I beg you to let him go, sir. I am not suing him for what happened to me. I want to solve this problem properly.” said Yua calmly.

The police and everyone here looked at each other. I myself was also surprised, but I praised deeply in Yua's actions this time.

“What are you doing?” ask Epank again. It seemed that he did not understand what Yua was doing. “Why did you stop this Police Officer? Let him be punished for what he did. He did not think about what would happen due to his actions?”

“I know Epank, but don't you think about Bayu's future if he goes to jail? His future will be destroyed, the punishment given to him will not guarantee his future better or not. In addition, the name of our organization, our school, will be tarnished if until this problem is brought to the realm of law. I don't want that to happen. It would have been better if this incident only we knew. People out there can't be anyone who knows. Anyway, Bayu is our friend. Do you remember the promise we made together during the inauguration of our membership? Fellow members should protect each other and help each other even if our lives are in danger.”

“But he doesn't deserve the title of PMR member after what he did to you!” Epank shows Bayu's face. The designated person only lowered his head and remained silent.

“Maybe you're right, but Bayu is only human. Every human being has made a mistake. I hope he won't repeat this again. I'm sure he must have a good reason why he did it. Even so, I have forgiven him. However, we all have also experienced misery together when we were juniors. I hope you don't forget that, Epank.”

This time, it was Epank's turn to be silent. He looked at Yua with the same gaze as when Refald was looking at me. Refald clasped my hand tightly, from when he stood beside me. My eyes glimmered at Refald. Not because I was drunk with romance because of her charm, but because I could feel the seeds of love had begun to grow in Epank's heart. I'm sure Refald can see it too.

I could see it clearly, the gaze of Epank's eyes. Can you see it too?

All were amazed to hear the words of Yua who indeed had a point. Suddenly, Yua becomes a hero of misfortune that everyone admires, especially those here. Everyone applauded and cheered for what Yua had done.

There was nothing more the police could do if Yua had said that. The policemen had a conversation with Mr. Agus as our coach to discuss something. Once they finished discussing, the handcuffs in Bayu's hands were immediately removed, but he would still be taken away from here and not allowed to follow this activity.

“For a while,” said Mr. Agus to us all who are here. “Bayu will come with us to get the sanction from the school. We will bring Bayu to meet with the principal and his parents. As Yua as the victim of this incident said, I hope you all keep the incident a secret and assume this incident never happened. Can you all do it?” ask Mr. Agus.

For a moment, everything did seem silent, but then they all cheered and shouted together with compact, “We agreeuuuuu ..”.

“Alright, then.” said Mr. Agus while laughing. “How can you continue again. Tomorrow is the last day you're all here. Hopefully your show continues to run smoothly until it is finished.”

We all greeted the builders and the police with great relief before they left the camp. The juniors who were in the tent also came out after hearing our shouts that were too happy because the problems that befell Yua and Epank were done.

Some alumni immediately went to take over to condition the juniors to be able to follow the next event that will be held later tonight. Caraka.

“We will make preparations for later tonight. All the organizers please get ready as well.” Alex told us and passed closer to Yua. “You're great, Sis. You saved all of us here from big trouble. I'm amazed at you.”

“Thanks, Brother.” Yua smiled shyly at the sight of Alek and his friends leaving.

I let go of Refald's hand and ran to embrace Yua. While crying I apologized to him. “I'm sorry, Yua .. This is all my fault!”

“I told you not to apologize, Fey! It's not all your fault. Stop saying that or I'll be really mad at you.” Yua smiled to see me.

Slowly, I let go of my embrace. But Mia and Nura suddenly hugged us at the same time. As a result, the four of us hugged each other while holding back our cries.

“Ehemm ... hem .. no one wants to hug me too?” refald.

The four of us took off each other's arms and faced Refald at the same time.

“You want us to hug too?” mia asked with a scary look. It seems that until now Mia still launched the flames of her dislike for Refald.

“Don't you mind if I hug you as a sign of my gratitude for all you've done to all of us here?” yua asked the successful Refald to the surprise of all of us to hear his statement.

“What? Ehmmm .. it seems unnecessary, I was just joking.” said Refald stammered because there were several pairs of eyes that stared intently at him. Including my eyes.

“Why? Are you afraid Fey's mad at you? You take it easy, she's not the jealous kind of girl. Anyway I'm very grateful to you. There is nothing I can give you to repay all your services to me other than with a hug thank you from me.” Yua looked at me for permission to hug Refald, but I was clumsy not knowing how.

“Why ... are you looking at me like that?” I asked Yua.

“Hei, Fey! You don't mind if Yua hugs Refald?” ask Nura.

“But it seems like the guy is scared if you sulk later?”

“Not so. .. I'm not worried Fey will be jealous of me even though I want him to be jealous. It's just .. It's not Fey who's jealous if you hug me. But ... that person ...” Refald looked at the man who was still standing glued to Yua.

Yua and I followed where the eyes of Refald looked. I was shocked and could not believe what I saw. Once again I rubbed my eyes to make my vision clearer.

Is it possible that the person Refald was referring to was Epank? Is that possible? Did Yua realize it too?

I watched Yua who was also fixated on seeing Epank standing looking at her. They look at each other. I could even see Epank wasn't poking at Via who asked him to speak. That guy, obviously only saw Yua who also saw him.

Their story is so complicated like a novel full of twists and turns of love triangle drama. I have an ace to end the love triangle drama between Yua, Epank and Via, but I doubt if I should open that card now or not.

Do I have to open it now? Or do I let fate reveal its own truth? I don't know.. I got dizzy thinking about the drama that almost took my own best friend's life. I just wish all this could be over soon.

Without hesitation a hand suddenly coiled around my body which made me immediately shocked when I saw it even though I knew it was the hand of Refald who was holding me from behind.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” I tried to take off his embrace because a few pairs of eyes were already watching us.

“Actually, only one person I want to hug right now. Sorry Yua .. I can't hug you because you've been aiming for.” Refald grinned pleasantly as Yua watched him, while I desperately tried to keep his hands away from my body even though my efforts had failed.

“You two don't mind if I hug my wife like this in front of you, do you?” refald asked Mia and Nura.

“You two are really ludicrous.” Nura and Mia looked at us with strange gazes. They just left us right away.

“Come on Nura, we're going from here. Being here makes our eyes so sick,” cetus Mia.

Mia pulled Nura's hand forcefully even though the girl did not understand why she was forced to leave this place.

Refald immediately let go of his embrace as soon as Nura and Mia left us. “Easy once expel them from here.”

“But it doesn't have to be that way. You didn't see? Everyone saw us.” I started to get emotional for Refald, too. He could do something stupid like that.

“Who cares.”

I heard those words again from Refald. I immediately melengos left her and intend to catch up with Mia and Nura. Yua also ran after me.

“Hei!” shout Refald. “Where are you going?”

I did not want to hear Refald's voice again, I covered my ears with my hands and walked towards the committee's tent to hold a meeting that we had to rearrange due to the delayed event earlier. I'm grateful that Refald didn't follow me.

The meeting this time is about caraka activities that will be held right at midnight. We all agreed that we would not do any activities until the caraka event began, it was because the incident had drained our emotions and energy a lot. In addition, juniors must prepare physically and mentally to be ready to carry out caraka activities safely and smoothly.

The meeting finished at exactly 15:00 p.m. We all went back to our tents to rest for a while while waiting for dinner to arrive. While juniors are encouraged to prepare everything before attending caraka events. Since today is the last day, the hours of sleep are accelerated earlier than usual.

Some of my friends took advantage of this time off to clean themselves up and do other preparations. So did I. After conversing with Yua, Mia and Nura, I intend to go to the river to wash my face.

Today was very hard for me, events after events just happened in sequence. Although now the problem is finished, but there are so many mysteries that I still cannot understand with my common sense. Since coming here, I did feel there were things that were a bit different, although not the first time I felt it, but still the events that had happened made me unable to calm down.

I heard the sound of running water. I mean, I'm getting closer to the river. However, from a distance I saw someone standing alone by the river. I sharpened my vision to find out who that person was and what he was doing there.

The closer I looked I was the more certain and unmistakable it was, that person was Refald.

What the hell is he doing here?
