Loved Bunian Wolves
23. Popo Disappears

Candra snorted annoyedly. "Why did they come? It's good that I don't exist anymore. It's too bad for me to see them" said Candra.

"But, Mister. The problem ..." Bayu's speech was interrupted.

"What's the problem?" Candra asked annoyed because Bayu looked more rambling.

"Well, the father of King Suryapati has agreed to this match. In fact, they all have also set the date of your wedding with Princess Narlita, Master!" obviously Bayu was timid. His voice sounded vibrating, shrill, and faltering.

"Huh?! What?!" Candra growled furiously. "Why is that old man to me? I don't want to get married, Bayu! I don't want to be betrothed! Point!"

"Yes, Sir. I can't do anything" Bayu said.

"Yes should be able to dong," Raka's sergeant, throbbing in annoyance. "At least you have to express my opinion. You know I don't like that Narlita! If you just shut up, then what is your function as an assistant?"

"Daughter Narlita, sir," Bayu said. He did not even seem to care about Candra who was currently nagging at him. "You can be scolded eh His Majesty King Suryapati if you just call the name of Princess Narlita."

"Bodo time. I don't care anyway" said Candra with a sullen face. He continued his tirade, "You should be able to advise me that I don't want to be betrothed, especially with Narlita! If you can't defend me, then what's your use?"

"Where am I brave, sir?" Bayu said softly and resignedly. "King Suryapati ... It's grumpy."

"Ah, you cemen base!" namel Candra is back. He chuckled loudly when he heard Bayu's filing just now. Yes, his beloved father is indeed very fierce and annoying. For this one problem, he strongly agrees with Bayu's opinion. How dictator King Suryapati, almost all over the country already know. Moreover, the child and all the palace residents.

Bayu who does not care if his employer is nagging him, now gives his input, "Master, in my opinion, if you do not agree with this matchmaking, then go home immediately."

"No, no!" Candra dismissed Bayu's suggestion. "I'm still upset with you, Bayu! I'm still calm here without having to listen to dad's nagging every day."

"But, Master! If you do not go home soon, then the day and date of the wedding between you and Princess Narlita will be determined soon. As a result, you will be even harder to avoid."

"Lho, how can it be?!" Candra nagging not accept. "Dad, don't be so, dong! I also have the right to choose what I want in my life. Why the hell, you like to set me up?!"

"Your woof!" Candra barked slowly. He felt a little confused. On the one hand, he got word if his match had been decided. Bayu also said that Her Majesty Queen Dahayu, the beloved Candra Mother, was sick because she thought of Candra's sudden departure.

But on the other hand, the young lady whom he had currently considered as the middle master needed some entertainment.

Now, he is in a house, accompanying a crying woman by cupping her hands to her face, with her body sitting on her knees in the bathroom.

"Your woof!" Not giving up, now Candra rubbed her soft-haired body into the woman's legs. He swiped his body, just so that the attention of the woman returned to him.

It worked! The woman looked up, releasing the fist of both hands from the face. Look how red the face is, with eyes so wet and puffy.

The face of the lady smiled. He grabbed Candra's small body and she clenched in his arms. He brought Candra into his arms, like he was hugging a cute, soft dog doll.

"Popo's? What's up?" Asked Runi with wet eyes. Even now Popo, who was already in Runi's arms, felt his soft gray fur begin to get wet with the tears of the poor girl's grief.

Popo rubbed his face there. Sneaking in the fragrant body of Runi, tucking a speck of warmth in there.

"Your woof!" Popo again barked quietly in that embrace. As if saying to his master, "Don't cry, Runi, there I am here."

Runi, even with her sad face, tried to bring a smile to Popo. During these few days, only this dog could comfort him. While Raka, the husband, little by little has changed. His attitude is much different, not as gentle and sweet as he used to be. Even a few nights ago after they spent the night together, Raka deliriously mentioned the name of another woman in her dream.

"But could Mas Raka be that bad to me? But, why? What are my sins to her? Was there a mistake I made that made him turn away from me? " Tanya Runi with a mind that is very tormented by thousands of questions.

The cry of Runi fell back so heavy on Popo's body, as if to ask for leniency on the little dog, also the spirit to immediately forget from the worries that disturbed his mind.

Runi has already completed some sewing progress this afternoon. Although she was hurt and sad because of Raka's attitude this morning and some strange things she caught recently, but Runi did not want to just stay silent to cry over her pain. Life has to go on, right?

The first reason, all the question marks that haunted his mind recently were still conjectures. Second, life has to go on and he has some responsibilities that he has to complete. The sewing order was still waving and yesterday afternoon he still got two customers who put stitches on him. He could not leave all the trust that all the customers gave him just because he was feeling sad and heartbroken, right?

Fortunately, the two customers were willing to understand and understand the queue. They do not impose when their stitches should be immediately so because indeed the clothes they ordered will not be used in a sudden time. Well, thankfully. At the very least, Runi did not have to force himself to work overtime in order to complete his responsibilities .

In order to eliminate the fear that afflicted him so tormentingly, Runi also sought this and that busyness. From morning he was struggling in the kitchen to cook Raka's favorite meat oxtail soup, washing dirty clothes and dishes, also clean in every corner of the house. Now, it turns out time has gone by day. It was time for Runi to straighten his legs and back which felt so sore.

But of course, he needs Popo! But wherever he set foot in all corners of the house, he did not find the existence of Popo.

"Popo, where are you?"
