“I love you” whispered arham right in my right ear. His embrace was getting tighter, his face the closer he got to my neck. My eyes began to open slowly as I returned his embrace.
“arham” says I ogled
“mau kah_” he stopped her
Bruk!! Our boat shifted and there was a crash. Arham let go of his embrace and stopped his words.
“wah wah, it seems that I interrupted your night” ranaa looks to be controlling his boat
“sorry I really didn't accidentally” he continued while laughing
Arham and I started to get awkward, I turned my face the other way and so did the arham. Ranaa glanced at our unusual behavior and began to move from her boat to the boat we were riding.
“you are so stiff. All right how about I accompany you?” ranaa again teased us. Arham and I still remained silent and looked in each other's direction without responding to the shutter.
Ranaa who was between the two of us looked solemnly at the lanterns in the flying sky. I glanced at her slowly trying to glance at the arham as well. But it looks arham is not so enjoying tonight because of the presence of ranaa trying to mess up.
***
The three of us walked through the city, again between us. But I feel relieved because of the ranaa, I don't need to be awkward.
“The atmosphere is starting to feel cold, do you two not intend to drink coffee?” chirp Ranaa glanced at the two of us who were still silent
“ah alright” ranaa took my hand and arham hand then dragged us somewhere.
***
“as usual” said ranaa to the waiter I just turned my face out of the window looking at the ceiling that was still full of lanterns.
“you want to order what?”
“terasern” answer us simultaneously. Ranaa glanced at the two of us in confusion while nodding
“similarly” says ranaa again on the waiter
“kayla, what were your hopes?” tanya ranaa while playing a vase with flowers
I glanced at Arham and Arham saw me back. I hurriedly turned him away
“I don't want to tell him” I said
“hmm. alright”
“how about you prince?” ranaa asked back
“my hope is in front of me” said arham as he looked at me seriously
Ranaa turned her head towards me while raising her eyebrows.
The food that arrived at the table broke this serious atmosphere, I inhaled the milk coffee that had been ordered by the ranaa and then devoured the cake with the vla stuffing inside it.
“you just missed something in palace” said ranaa speaking to arham
“you mean?” arham asked ranaa
“later you will find out, I do not want to enjoy the atmosphere” whispered ranaa on the arham that still sounds vaguely by me. Arham turned to look at Ranaa with a very curious look on his face with a cup of milk coffee in his hand.
***
“kayla, want me to take you home?” tawdry
“kayla went with me and went home to be with me anyway” saut arham while getting out of her chair and approaching me. I still feel awkward after the incident at the lake earlier. But I have to put on a normal expression.
“iya, I'm with arham” my word on ranaa
“baik” ranaa also moved from her seat
“then I go first” he continued while waving to both of us.
After the ranaa said, me and Arham just kept quiet. It looks so awkward and I don't
know what to start talking about.
Arham rode his horse, not forgetting the hand he gave me which I later received. He pulled me on a horse and drove his horse. Along the way, Arham and I didn't say much until we got home.
***
I walked slowly towards the door of my house, my arms opened slowly, as I opened the arham holding me by calling me. I looked towards her she walked towards me slowly.
I was silent while waiting for an answer from Arham
“anu_” his words paused
“apa?”
“aku”
My head seems to be waving
“I wait for your answer tomorrow” then again his lips stopped on my lips without excuse. I just froze my eyes staring at him stiffly. Seen his smile that expands while waiting for his horse to disappear swallowed dark night.
Looks like my thoughts tonight are going to mix irregularly. I didn't realize my hand was touching my lips like it wasn't
believe what happened tonight. I turned my body back and opened the door with a still-irregular mind.
I cleaned my body, made my bed. I slowly rolled down my eyes to the roofs of the house. My mind went back to twisting the unexpected events tonight, and tonight I fell asleep in my mind .
***
“ehemm!!”
I looked back and tried to find that voice while I was busy arranging my flowers.
“ here”
My eyes immediately found Ranaa sitting on a bench near a tree.
“hufft I think who” is
“certainly you think I am arham right?”
“apasih” said I was still busy with my work, then I stopped it while remembering the incident last night that made me limp. My hand started to take off a flower pot and then put it in its place.
“so how is semalem?”
“what is it?” I said as I continued to cut off the browned leaves
“you receive arham”
“accept what?”
“ya already kay, the time is already in the sun so you are still not sensitive anyway?” ranaa said while grinning. I threw the leaf I had cut at him. Ranaa tried to fend off with her arms still while
laughingly.
“kayla” call ranaa. I turned towards her and my head was swept
“there's something I want to say” Now it's not only my face that leads to her, but also my body that I close with her body. Ranaa pulled me to sit next to her while smiling.
“mau by what?” ask me seriously
“kay_” while staring at me in confusion
My head slightly lowered towards his face
“hmm.”
“why ran!! I was curious. Buruan ah say!” my body is struggling
“later tonight there was an event at the palace, the queen who gave me a message to takein to you make it to his show”
“in what order?”
“entah” ranaa turned her face the other way while breathing and exhaling as if the look on her face was written something that made her worry.
“you really Just want to nyampein this to me?” ask me again trying to force Ranaa to say something else
“ya I'm not lying, yaudah deh I have to go. The palace was busy again because ranaa” stood and glanced at me “di
wait for the night of his arrival, dah” he walks away
“base of weird guys, good luck” said I grumbled to myself.
