King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 6 of the Agreement (already revised)

We arrived at a place to eat that I did not know the name of the place. We sat across from the window facing the street. This place is a bit quiet because it is past lunch time.

“Order food. You should eat before I say anything!” the man picked up and read the food menu.

“I'm not hungry. You're the one who ate!”i reluctantly.

“I don't want you to faint. Look atyou! You're pale as an undead. I can't help you if you die here. Because I myself am dying too!”

I saw his right hand that was still bandaged and on the back with cloth.

Again, the guilt arises. He must have been in trouble because of this.

“What message do you order?” ask again while putting a list of food menus.

“Whatever you order!”lazy answer.

The guy raised his hand to call the waitress and ordered some food and drinks for both of us.

“Sorry!” suddenly said. “Your injuries must have gotten worse because of my carelessness .. forgive me!" these are the words I wanted to say when I met him and finally got through.

I hid the tears that were beginning to fill my eyes. “That time I did not know that the ointment was glue. I was trying to chase you back then. But you're far away. I also searched for you in the Light Villa, but you weren't there either. I don't know how to contact you ...”

“Usaha good!" that guy cut my unfinished sentence. "But I can't clap because my hand is hurting ... so bad, thanks to you!” sharp innuendo, but I tried to calm down. Do not get carried away with emotions that can cloud the atmosphere.

“I'll take it if you want to scold me, you can hit me too if that's what you want. I will not reply, because everything is my fault.”

“Stop feeling guilty and eat first. Just now we're talking!”

We kept quiet while waiting for our orders to come. I still can't guess what he's going to do to me. Maybe he'll take revenge on me here.

But, seeing what he did to me now, this is not exactly revenge, it is more like intimidation. He did not respond as I thought. The guy was impressed as if nothing had happened. He also didn't talk about the windshield of his car that I broke. I think it's very strange, and it makes me have to be on my guard. Maybe he was planning something that would kill me instantly.

I started parno myself. I looked around and noticed a suspicious person. It's possible that there are his men here who are preparing to attack me if I'm off guard. Although actually, it's just my feeling.

When the food arrived, I hesitated to eat it. I was just being careful, and trying to be prepared for all the possibilities.

“Buil me!”the door was sudden and it surprised me. He understood immediately my face. “I can't eat with my left hand. My right hand is hurt!” he explains.

I understood and started doing what he wanted. I carefully bribed her, afraid of making mistakes that could make her angry. I wipe his mouth every time he gets stuck. We kept staring at each other. No sound .. until the food is gone. From a distance I vaguely heard people start talking about us.

“They are romantic once! I'm so envious, you're telling someone behind me.

“They're a matching couple,”the rest.

“Lucky once that girl,”plus the woman who is beside our table.

“They really make me envious,”the others also follow comments.

“Who are they?”ask someone I don't know.

Everyone here is talking about us. I wanted to leave this place because I couldn't bear to hear all their comments.

“You don't want to eat?” tanyakanya. He took a glass of water with his left hand. This guy really enjoyed the atmosphere.

“I told you, I'm not hungry.”

“Why? Are you afraid that food is poisonous?”

I'm silent. What he said is true. I'm afraid the food was poisoned.

“Ayolah ... Don't you see? I'm being nice to you? You think I'm gonna do something bad to you?”

“With all what is happening right now, isn't it natural that I am careful?”

The guy laughed. “You're so funny? You just bribed me. Let's see if I'll die after this.”

I keep looking at him. He also looks at me.

“Please your food first! I promise I won't hurt you.”

I want to believe his words. Even though my heart refused to believe it. Maybe the guilt that has plagued me this week has kept me from thinking clearly. Only bad things I think about.

I slowly ate my meal and tried to enjoy it. I started to feel calm and comfortable while eating. Hunger may have affected my mind so much that I was too suspicious of people who were hurt because of me.

I don't know why this food tastes so good. Even I just remember lately I rarely eat, because I feel too guilty about him.

Even so, I still felt unsettled, as he continued to look at me. I don't know if it's a look of hate or not. His eyes made me uncomfortable again.

I admit, his face is handsome. It's only natural that the students were so excited to see me together with this guy. Including the people in the restaurant. Wherever this guy is, it will definitely be the center of attention because of his good looks. Anyone who is with him must also be unlucky because of the blasphemy of his fans. That's what's happening to me right now.

“Don't look at me like that? You're scaring me?”

The guy smiled cynically. "You're afraid of my handsome face? You should have been fascinated by me!”

“Do not joke?”

“Alright we don't need to talk anymore. I came to hold you accountable! As you can see, my injuries are very severe, and I am in a bad state.”

“But ... You look okay?”

“I'm not okay! To find you, I have to go through a lot!”

“I've given you my phone number!”

“You think I'm Einstein? Instantly memorize in just one word?”

He was right, I leaned my back on the chair. At that time the situation was so strange, at first glance I remembered the events of that time. Even I can't forget it.

“Alright! What do you want from me?”aska I want to know.

“What?” I couldn't believe it.

“I mean, you're a straightforward girl, and I like a girl like that. To the point without further ado!”

“What do you want?”I'm just a little relieved.

“Your hands!”

“My hands? You want my hand? You want to cut it?” I'm starting to panic. My mind is getting messed up.

“You're not sane? Why did I cut off your hand?” He held my hand but I immediately brushed it off.“Calm yourself first. I'm not that bad. Stop thinking negatively about me!”

I took a breath and closed my eyes. Although I tried to calm down, but my fear made me unable to think positively anymore. So far, he hasn't done anything bad to me. He was too kind to the people who hurt him. I admit, my attitude is too much towards him.

“Alright, forgive me. I'm too stressed thinking about this. I'm too guilty of you. Even during this week I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking about your situation. I can't even call you to find out if you're okay. I have never hurt anyone in my life. This is the first time anyone has been hurt because of me. You don't know how tormented I am!”I started to be honest with her about how I felt.

“I know. You just said it!”

“I'm not kidding!”

“I don't either. That's why we're here to talk. You think you're the only one in trouble? I'm more miserable than you. I can't even do my activities normally because of this hand. You should have asked me how I was when we met. You're thinking negatively about me. Don't you feel you're being so cruel?”

“I'm sorry .. I didn't mean it that way ...”

“At that time my hand hurt deep enough. The ointment you gave aggravated his wound...” I was shocked and looked at him with a guilty look, even my eyes began to glaze over as he spoke. “Time in the hospital, who treated me could not open the cloth attached to my arm. If it's forced then my injuries will get worse. So, I went to a bigger hospital in the city of Surabaya. The cloth you wrapped in my wound fused with my nerves. To release it requires an operation that is not easy.”

“What? The operation? You you? Inoperable? That bad? You're not lying?”I was surprised

“Do I look like I'm lying? Do you want to feel what my hand is feeling right now? I can do the same to you if that's what you want so you know what it's like!”

“I'm sorry!”

“I can't explain in detail the medical term, but that's how it is!”

“What is the operation running smoothly?”

“This is the first case for the doctor who handled me. He himself was confused. How can such a deep tear be treated with paper adhesive glue whose compound content may be harmful to the skin of a living human like me. So, the results of the operation can only be known after this bandage is opened. Before this bandage is opened, my hand should continue like this. You know what that means, right?”

I turned my face away so my tears wouldn't spill. “I understand. It's all my fault. I'm sorry ...”

“Stop apologizing and fulfill your responsibilities! I will decide whether you deserve forgiveness or not!”

“What should I do?”

“Be my hand! Just like you did. When you eat you have to feed me, prepare all the needs I need, when going to school you have to prepare clothes, shoes, books and feed me at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Likewise with schoolwork, you are currently working ...”

“Wait .. wait! Did I not hear wrong? Why should I do your schoolwork?”

“That's because my hand can't do the job?”

“It's beyond my responsibility!”my exposition. I don't know why I feel like I'm being used.

“That's your fault! Because of you, I can't write!”

“But your brain can still think. I'll just write but you're the one who thinks.”

The guy snorted annoyedly. But what I said is true.

“About your needs .. ”. “Isn't that overkill? Bribing you breakfast, lunch and dinner .. preparing your other needs ... That means I have to be with you at all times?”

“Ehmmmm .. yaaaa .. maybe, more or less like that.”

“You're crazy? How can we be with you at all times while we stay apart?”

“Then we will stay together.”

“You realize what you're saying? You're really crazy? Where do you think this is, huh? How can you think we're staying home while we're not related!”

“Then we make that connection!”

“What? Nah! I don't want to! You're really out of your mind. I'd better leave before I go crazy like you!” I started to get out of my chair and get ready to leave.

“Where are you going? I was just kidding.”

“You think this is a joke?”

“I'm new here. I don't know anything about this place. And I'm alone. I'm trying so hard to find you so you can take care of me. Only until this hand heals. Because after all, I became like this because of you. I don't want to trouble anyone else. That's why I'm here. I'm glad I finally found you. I hope you can keep your promise. You said you'd be responsible for what you did because you're not a coward like me!”

I sat back in the chair, having stood up for emotion. His words sounded spicy as well in the ear.

He was right, and this was all my fault. Although my intentions were good at first. But the end ended up disastrous for him.

“When the bandage was removed?” tanyaku.

“One more month.”

“And what happens after one month?”

“If the operation is successful .. means the wound is healed, and there is no problem. But if it fails .. then it must be operated again. If it fails again .. then my hand must be amputated.”

I was surprised to hear that. I do not believe that my kindness is a disaster for others.

The word 'amputation', just imagine it I've been horrified. What if it really happened?
