One and Only
20 - Valuable and Valuable.

Currently Yura and Arvan were relaxing and taking a short break from the activities of the two who were touring around the Royal Villa. Both of them are now sitting on park benches.

"Sitting here like this feels a little strange to me," Yura said

"What feels strange?" ask Arvan

"It seems that I am too often in uncertain places, so I often sit on grasslands, deserts, flower fields, or horseback. In fact, not infrequently also I sleep on the back of a horse while being lazy to make a tent camp. Sitting on a park bench like this so it feels a bit foreign to me," Yura explained

"How long has it been since you have been wandering and going anywhere?" ask Arvan

"I've been going to a lot of places for about five years. I often stop by restaurants or other places, but it still feels different" Yura replied

"You're so brave, have you never been afraid at all?" ask Arvan

"I can't deny, I'm just a normal human being who's been scared. I even almost died out there, but I kept on surviving and it seems like God is still on my side which means I'm loved. However, next time set your mind to say that I am brave or shy, O Shy Lord .". ", Yura said, as she mocked Arvan.

"I told you, I'm not like that. By the way, Yura .. so, now how old are you?" asked Arvan who shifted the topic so that Yura did not continue to harass him.

"I've even forgotten. I think I'm 26 or 27 this year. My age is the same as the Queen, you must have known it first ." replied Yura.

"yes too. I also just remembered, apparently you are one year younger than me, just like the Queen," Arvan said

"How old are you? Then, how old am I and the Queen?" ask Yura

"Why do you have to ask someone else your own age?" ask back Arvan

"Because I don't remember, that's why I asked you who knew it. You just need to give me the answer," Yura replied

"But thank God you start wandering when you're an adult" Arvan said

"Of course, I must have planned my adventure carefully first instead of acting impulsively by running away from home just because it was my greatest desire to wander to many places, even though at that time I did force my father and mother a little, heh . " said Yura.

"Are you not running away from home when you first decided to start wandering?" ask Arvan

"Of course, no. I'm not like that. It was one year after sister got married and became a Queen in this country, so many people did not know that the Queen had twin sisters. My existence has been forgotten," Yura replied

"But you haven't answered my question. How old are you, actually? My age and the Queen? Don't you want to answer that for fear of me telling you a shy old man?" tanya Yura continued as she mocked Arvan.

"You should know how old you are" Arvan replied without any intention of telling.

"You don't want to tell me it doesn't matter either, I can ask the Queen next time. If from what you said that I was one year younger than you, it seems true that you are an old man who is ashamed to reveal his own age," Yura said

"Alright, we leave the conversation about that and move on to another topic. Instead, let me ask you about one thing and you have to answer it" Yura said

"Depending on what your question looks like" said Arvan

"My question is ... After eating together I saw you wearing a handkerchief, where did you get that handkerchief from? Where did you buy it? And what I saw was like that handkerchief was ripped, huh?" ask Yura

"The handkerchief is mine that I got from someone, nor do I know where he bought it and it has been torn" replied Arvan

"From someone? Does that mean someone gave you that handkerchief? Is she a girl? Is he a valuable person to you? Do you like it?" ask Yura

"True, a woman gave me that handkerchief. Both the one who gave and the handkerchief itself were precious to me. You could say the one who gave him was my little friend. At least he said like that, that we will be friends .. " Arvan said in a voice that became quiet at the end of his sentence.

"Here you got that handkerchief as a kid from a little girl. It seems like the handkerchief has meaning and story to you" Yura said

"You're right .." said Arvan, smiling in a knot.

"If the handkerchief is so precious to you, why is it torn? Aren't you keeping it and using it well?" ask Yura

"That handkerchief is so precious to me that I take good care of it. I always kept and used it well until the Queen's incident with the fan dancer happened during a party at the Palace" Arvan explained

"I was already suspicious of the fan dancer and I waved my handkerchief at her and sure enough, my handkerchief was torn just from being hit by the swing of the fan until the handkerchief changed color. From there I knew that the dancer's fan was very sharp and poisonous. When I tried to tell the King and Queen about it, the incident was inevitable and the Queen got hurt" Arvan said

"His tune, besides being valuable, the handkerchief is also meritorious. If it wasn't because you were suspicious and used the handkerchief as a test with the dancer's fan, it would have been a successful assassination attempt, even though the Queen was injured. At least nothing fatal happened because of the incident at that time and at this time the Queen is fine" said Yura

"However, I still realized it too late. If only I had realised it sooner, it was possible that the Queen did not have the slightest injury and that the culprit could have been caught and punished, instead of committing suicide to avoid punishment" Arvan said

"His name is also alive, often not in accordance with what has been expected, what else this time is an event that has passed. I also feel sorry is useless. It is better to make previous events a lesson and life experience" Yura said

"Yes, you're right .. " said Arvan

"Can I see and borrow your handkerchief?" ask Yura

"For what?" ask back Arvan

"If you allow it, I'll fix your handkerchief. It won't be long" Yura replied

"Thank you for your good intentions, but it's not necessary. The handkerchief is very valuable, I will still wear it no matter how it looks. Although the tear is worse than the current one I will still wear without renewal" said Arvan

"Alright, I will not force .." said Yura
