King's Son (Season 1&2)
episode 80 Exposed
After breakfast, Refald asked my father for permission to take me to the hospital and check my sprained leg and visit my friends.
Dad agreed to it unconditionally, he even trusted Refald completely. Dad just told us not to come home late at night.
“Actually, I want to take you to check on Shiyuri's condition, but there are some things I have to take care of here because in the next few days I have to go back to Japan.”
“Why is Dad back so soon?” I don't accept it because my father will be back in Japan soon. We just met.
“Darling, dad can't linger here because dad also has to work. Besides soon your brother will also get married, I also have to prepare everything.” Father looked at me gently hoping that I understood the situation as a father who would marry his eldest daughter.
“When will Sakura get married? Why so suddenly?” I was confused as to how, the two of us had not met for a long time. Suddenly I was shocked by the news of her wedding.
“They both have decided, then I can only support it. 2 months from now, you can still come at your sister's wedding later. I'll ask your principal for permission so you can go to Japan to attend Sakura's wedding. You two will be their escorts.” Dad looked relaxed while enjoying his meal.
I just kept quiet without talking anymore, I just stared at my father's face. Both of his daughters already have their own partners. I just realized, since the death of my mother, there is not even an intention in me to marry again, it is because maybe the father only loves my mother one and no other woman can replace her position.
I miss my mother, without feeling the tears dripping when remembering the memories with my mother first. Soon I wiped my tears before the others found out.
Compared to me, my father suffered much more than I did. However, he is a great father figure and strong and looks strong in the eyes of his children. I never saw my father cry even when my mother's body was buried. I don't know what he's feeling right now, I'm sure you miss mom, just like me.
“Do you not like, Honey?” ask the father who immediately broke my daydream.
“What does Father mean?” my question does not understand.
“On Sakura's wedding, do you mind?” dad looked at me worriedly, maybe he was afraid that I didn't like my brother's sudden marriage.
“Why is my grandson in such a hurry to get married? Is she pregnant first?” asked Grandma spontaneously, which made Refald choke.
I turned to Refald and offered him a glass of water. Not only was Refald shocked to the point of choking so, my father and I were both shocked.
“Thank you, Honey,” said Refald while coughing.
“Why you?” ask Grandma to Refald. “Is there something wrong with my question?”
“Grandmother was too honest when asking, I got shocked,” replied Refald briefly.
“Have you done it with Fey?” again the grandmother was too blunt to ask anything too intimate, especially in front of the two of us who had just turned 17 years old.
“No!” we both turned to each other as it answered compactly though unintentionally.
“Grandma don't get me wrong, we won't do it before we get married,” Refald said.
“Thank God then,” said grandma then switch to staring at dad. I was even more surprised because my grandmother immediately believed Refald's words. “How about you? You haven't answered my question,” asked grandma.
“Of course not Mom, Sakura is a good girl just like Shiyuri. He only wanted to live together with the person he loved, as they had been quite a long time apart, just like the current Shiyuri and Refald, the difference between Sakura and Sauran was already more mature than them. After all, Sakura is already 20 years old, she has the right to choose her life path. Including his decision to marry.”
“But he's still in college, dad?” my many.
“In a minute, he'll graduate, darling. Your brother can complete his bachelor's degree in less than 3 years. He's very smart, just like you. Dad met your walas and he said, you are the brightest student they have ever had.”
I'm surprised you met my walas. My dad never asked me anything about my school.
“What are you thinking, honey?” ask dad.
“No Dad, I'm just happy, finally my brother can marry Sauran. Precisely I would be disappointed if not Sauran who became my brother's life companion.”
“Oh yes? Why can you say that? You rarely meet.” Dad seemed curious about the love story between Sakura and Sauran.
“Ehm .. since a long time ago, the love story between Sakura and Sauran I have known together with my late mother, Father. They loved each other since they were in elementary school, only they had to be forced to separate because Sauran told his mother to return to Hong Kong. I don't know just how stupid the two of them used to be, they always fight if they meet when they like each other.” I was too enthusiastic to tell my sister a little love story that I knew when I was a kid.
“Oh yes? So only dad doesn't know their story?” Dad mangosteen.
“That's because Dad was just busy working and betrothed me with this sneak that was beside me.” I turned to look at Refald.
“Ehemmmm .... “ Refald thumped hard a no-accept sign because I called it a sneaky call. Refald glared at me, while I just smiled mockingly at him.
“But finally you guys love each other, right?” father's question made us look at him straight away.
I can't answer father's questions. I'm ashamed because the truth is, we both love each other now.
“I instantly fell in love with her since first sight first, Otoosan.” Refald said honestly. I immediately looked towards him. Grandma who was cuek is the best with our conversation also immediately saw Refald.
“Dad knows, and Dad also knows, so we do not want to match you.” My father smiled happily at my face that was red with embarrassment.
“You are willing to match your son!” grandma also spoke, I was proud of grandma who seemed to understand my heart. “But I did like Refald the first time he drove Fey home. You two are indeed a compatible couple and are destined to be together.” I was immediately disappointed that Grandma was getting worse at my mood which suddenly became bad.
Okay fine! So they all cornered me and supported Refald so much that he was the only one who deserved to be my partner and there was no other man besides him. Goody!
“Can we go now?” I asked Refald. I tried to shift the conversation before they cornered me. “I can't wait to meet my friends.” I wiped my mouth and drank my favorite melon juice and stood up to leave the table.
Refald followed my steps while embracing my shoulder, “We go first, Otoosan, Grandma .. We promise to go home on time,” exclaimed Refald from the doorstep. I let go of her embrace because I was still angry.
I snorted angrily at Refald who had been acting kindly towards my family. I wondered if I could be as familiar with the Refald family as Refald is today, considering that we have not seen each other for 7 years. I don't even know what my future-in-law's face looks like.
Refald opened the car door for me and I just realized that Refald had changed cars again from jeep canvas cars to volvo silver.
“Since when did you change your car?” I was a little confused and wondered if Refald could also move a car like a genie.
“Pak No who brought this car here this morning. He took my jeep into the garage of the villa.” Refald closed the car door and walked around to sit behind his steering chair.
“Oh, I guess you also have the power to move things as you please like a genie in aladina's magic lamp,” my murmur was met with a loud Refald laugh.
“You are too fantasized high level. Don't be too happy to see fantasy movies. Look, your brain gets contaminated by fantasy stories in the movies you see.” Refald started the engine and started driving his car to drive me to the hospital where my friends were being treated.
“Whatever I am,” I said.
I can't imagine a guy like Mr. No riding Refald's jeep canvas, a middle-aged man who's the guardian of Refald's trust villa looking cool and staying cool from people his age.
