My soul mate Father My best friend
Friends in High School

"You calm down and sit down first" said the King to calm Anita, but Anita did not bully her.

"Sorry sir. I have to go" Anita said.

"Wait.... How about I get to know you" said the King to make Anita stop her steps and also add to the confusion.

"Known?" ask Anita lirih.

"If you are curious. Be seated!. I'll tell you" said the King, making Anita retreat and sit on the seat that the King had provided.

Then after Anita sat down quietly, the King began to treat the wound at the corner of her lips using cotton buds and a little betadin.

At first the King cleaned his blood from Anita's lips which momentarily made the King focus on seeing Anita's lips ranum. Although it still looks flushed former slap he received.

But before long, King refocused to treat the wound on the corner of Anita's lips. After cleaning a little of his blood, the King began to give a little betadin to the wound.

Making Anita grimace a little and then the King saw her momentarily stopping her hand. But Anita remained silent, sitting in curiosity of what the King would tell her that she knew Anita.

Slowly the King told a story where he had met a girl in a village when he was sitting in High School.

"When I was a teenager. I have a grandmother that I love very much. He's been taking care of me while my mom and dad are busy working. Because my grandmother was getting sick, my grandmother asked my father and mother to drive her to the village where grandparents spent time together.

Because grandfather died there and I felt that he was a big boy, Grandma intended to leave me and he wanted to go back to the village to spend his time there. But because I did not want to part with my grandmother, I ended up coming with her to make me have to continue my school there. I finally had to go to school there.

Because I am an introvert makes it difficult to get along and I do not like the crowd, to make me ridiculed and insulted my school friends in the village. They think I'm a weird, loner, alien-faced kid just because I wear thick glasses.

But there was one girl who never insulted or let me feel alone. Even though I never wanted to talk to her and often ignored her. But every day at school she always took the time to talk to me even if I never wanted to get back at her. But without me knowing that long he made me feel not alone in that school.

And for the past year she's been doing the same thing to me no matter how much I ignore her.

Until I came back and left the village, without realizing it I began to miss him" said King Panjaaaaaang telling his story, but lucky Anita remained faithful to listen to him.

"And you know what the girl's name is?" asked the King as if Anita knew the answer, but Anita just looked at him and shook her head, no.

"The girl was named Anita.. Princesses.. Kusuma" said the King by slowing down to mention a name while staring fixedly at Anita.

Makes Anita expression not believe what she heard. It was Anita's full name in her village, and when she left the village no one knew her full name, not even Lolita as her best friend was ever told.

And a moment later Anita smiled happily and had a happy tear on her cheek.

"Azza.." cried Anita called a name with a happy smile for a moment then felt her lips back sore "ahh. aww" Anita moaned because too wide a smile made her forget that her lips were hurt.

"Be careful." said the King when he heard Anita began to hurt at the corner of his lips.

Then Anita and Raja looked at each other smiling happily after a long time of not meeting, although in fact Anita still could not believe what she saw. Because the former King was completely different from the present one.

Especially considering the appearance and the existence of the King that Anita could not have guessed.

In the past Anita did not know that the King or Azza she used to call first turned out to be the son of a rich man. And his appearance used to be ordinary, but even so Anita still wanted to be friends with him.

Anita felt that the King was strange and very quiet. But Anita also does not know why she really likes to tell the King first even though she never responded. But she felt calm and happy every time she finished telling him.

Maybe because Anita used to feel the King was the only person who would listen to her complaints without the need for a response.

"But how can. You used to live in a village that I thought you weren't like this" Anita said honestly as she moved her hand at the end of the sentence to reveal all the luxuries she saw from the current King.

"Why. It's not like a rich kid like me to go to school in the village" King told Anita with a warm smile that he always seemed to Anita at this time.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I mean" Anita said with a friendly smile.

"No problem. You don't have to apologize like that" the king responded.

"But I want to thank you. Because you didn't leave me alone. Always talking to me even though I always ignore you and silence you but you always try to care about me. Thank you" said the honest King with a bitter smile, making Anita momentarily feel moved and a little emotional to hear it.

Unwilling to be emotional and remember the past, Anita immediately switched the conversation while wiping her tears quickly.

"Then what about your grandmother's situation now" asked Anita about the state of the King's grandmother now.

But without Anita knowing, the question even made the King slowly dim his smile. Then pretend to clean up the P3K box that he had not been able to finish.

While Anita was still patiently waiting for an answer from the King. Then, the King slowly returned to his voice with a heavy tone.

"Grandmother..'s gone after grandpa. That's why I came back and did not settle in the village anymore" said the King as he bowed his head withstanding the sadness of losing his beloved grandmother.

While Anita was sitting on a chair and the King looked as if he was resting in front of Anita. Then Anita apologizes for her ignorance and makes the King sad to think back to his beloved grandmother.

"I'm sorry... Azza" said Anita felt used to calling her first like that, but made the King immediately look at Anita slowly, when the usual call was said Anita sounded back in her ear.

"I mean the King" said Anita stammered as the King looked back at her, who Anita thought, The King did not like the call. And Anita thought she had been impolite to call the host child who had the show just calling her by name.

Then, the King who saw Anita suddenly clumsily and felt uncomfortable because of her gaze. Slowly he started smiling like that. Makes Anita feel confused and wrong to behave like what. Afraid of offending the King who he used to like to call him Azza.

In fact, the King is not angry or dislike Anita who calls her Azza. Instead the King was pleased with the call, he felt it was Anita's affectionate call to him.

But Anita misunderstands King's gaze, Anita thinks she's already being disrespectful and Raja doesn't like the call.

"You don't have to apologize. It was a long time ago" the King said as he developed his smile so that Anita would no longer feel clumsy and wrong.

Then the King tried to shift the conversation so that Anita felt comfortable again and no longer considered her a stranger anymore.

"Oh yeah.... By the way how the imprint felt at that time" asked the King with a smile.

But the King's question made Anita remember something. Reminds him again, the time when there was someone who suddenly paid him to break ground without him knowing who had paid him.

Who only told Abang ketoprak that he was his friend when High School first. And now Anita already knows who the person is, who is none other than and not, he was the King's friend in High School.

"So that person is you" said Anita again flabbergasted after remembering and knowing the person who had paid for his armpit and passed away was the King. Soon Anita was grateful for what the King had done at that time.

"Oh my God, you really did surprise me many times. But thanks for the armpits at that time, it felt really good, Lord King" Anita said with a smile and a little formal, venting what was on her mind but the King felt it sounded strange in her ears. Then ask Anita not to be formal with him.

Meanwhile, Alex who from earlier was done with his speech. Look for Anita's whereabouts and haven't found her yet.

Until finally he tried to up that in his thought no one was there, and thought the possibility of Anita withdrawing from the crowd and aloof above the room.
