Prince From Another World
Lavender Park

This morning we were having breakfast sandwiches while chatting lightly. Aunt Jane was telling a funny story about a new employee in her office. To make us all laugh. Our laughter stopped as soon as a car stopped in front of the house and rang its horn aloud. Sienna immediately got up and ran out of the house. I guess I can guess who came.

Yes, shortly afterwards the laughter of Sienna as well as an unfamiliar young man were heard entering the house. They went straight to see me and Aunt Jane at the dinner table.

"Good morning, Auntie!" greet Justin.

"Hi, you two haven't come here in a long time!" aunt Jane was very happy. He hugged Justin warmly.

I looked at the guest who came. My guess was right that came Justin and Alex.

"Hi, Riza!" greet Alex shyly.

"Hi," I replied.

"How are you?" tanyanya warm.

"Okay" I replied flatly. This young man has changed a little since the last few months he's been here.

"You two must not have had breakfast? Come, sit! We're having breakfast together!" take Aunt Jane with you while handing out a plate containing Sandwich.

The two young men accepted the aunt's offer happily.

...******...

Alex's car drove to Lavender Park. Today the four of us will spend our day there. This is Justin's suggestion. All I know is that it's a flower garden. I've never been there myself because it's quite far from the city center. It was almost two hours by car. Until finally arrived at the destination.

Quite a lot of visitors on holidays like today. Alex drove the car into an empty parking lot. And we all went down. On foot enter the vast Lavender Park area. As per the name of the place where only Lavender flowers grow in this garden. We arrived at the Lavender Flower. Where the entire surface of the field is filled with Lavender flowers in bloom. There is only a walkway that can be passed for two people. The path led to a pavilion in the middle of the Lavender field.

"Beautiful, yes!" alex was amazed.

"Yes," I said. I looked around and realized that only Alex and I were here.

"Where are Sienna and Justin going?" my many.

"They went to the labyrinth garden in the west there. He said there was a beautiful garden and shower when he made it to the center of the labyrinth," Alex replied excitedly.

"Oh," I muttered.

"You want to go there too?" ask Alex.

"No. Just here!" my answer.

"Then we'll just sit there!" take Alex as he steps towards the pavilion. I followed him in the back.

In addition to the unique shape of the pavilion, there is also a replica piano here. I sat in the chair opposite the piano. The weather today was hot enough that sweat was pouring from my forehead. Suddenly Alex thrusts a handkerchief at me. Refused it.

"No need, thank you. I've got a tissue!" I said and started to open the bag and look for tissue. Ah, shit seems to be lagging behind.

Alex smiled and forced me to accept his handkerchief.

"Have used this! It's still koq!" said.

Yeah, I finally got it too. Slowly rubbing the sweat on the forehead. Alex is busy with his phone. I don't really care about it either. Because I'm so hot.

I was surprised when Alex suddenly sat next to me, because this chair was so small. He placed his phone on a replica piano with a rotating music player. A piano instrument playing from Alex's cell phone. He threw his smile at me. I looked at him in wonder.

"Then this feels like playing a real piano, doesn't it?!" said Alex.

Deftly his hands danced on keys replica piano that actually did not create the sound. But Alex's hand danced as if following each note of the instrument on his phone. I just kept quiet to watch. Until the song stops spinning Alex also ends the action.

"It would be great if you played it with a real piano" I said in a comment.

Alex smiled and said.

"I'll play it in front of you as soon as I get the chance."

"Can you play the piano?" I felt like I couldn't believe it.

"It's pretty good. I don't understand it at all" I said.

"If you want to learn, you can too!" said Alex.

"I'm not interested. It seems very complicated" I said.

"Yes, it needs talent too" Alex replied.

I'm nodding.

I don't know why being with Alex was more awkward than being with Edgar. There's not so much to talk about with Alex. In the end it was always Alex who asked and I answered.

"How's college?" alex asked him to open another topic.

"As usual. Nothing special. You how?" my many.

"I work in an advertising office. Because it's a busy schedule so I don't have time to call you. It's rare to even come here to see you" Alex explained.

"It's okay" I said.

"Then do I still have a chance?" ask Alex carefully.

"What opportunity?" I asked back.

"The chance to be your life partner, maybe?" alex replied slowly but hopefully.

I rolled my eyes and heard Alex say that. At first he said he wanted to be my girlfriend now he was hoping for a higher level. Something I never thought of, looking for a companion. I responded with laughter.

"Alex, I haven't even thought about it!" I said it felt funny.

"Yes, what's wrong with a little hope," he said in self-defense.

"Don't expect too high, Alex!" I said.

"Why?" tanyakanya.

"Aren't you afraid of disappointment? Don't hang your expectations too high on something that isn't certain" I advised.

Alex is smiling.

" Riza, any decision is a risk. If we don't try we'll never know the outcome. So, if you're not prepared for all the risks, don't start!" said Alex steady.

"You're good at talking. I surrender!" my spoken.

"Riza, that's not the way to solve the problem! It's the same as losing. You will get nothing if you give up. You're even going to lose something that might be very close to you" Alex said.

"It's not my problem, Alex! That's in your opinion but not in my position" I replied.

"Not just in love, Riza! But in career, in life, in achieving success, it all happens."

I cut it fast.

"You're good at talking now, yeah! You should be a motivator!"

"I'm not, I'm just explaining what's in my grip" Alex defended himself.

"What if I like someone else?! Are you going to give up and stop chasing me?" I take Alex seriously.

Alex was silent for a moment with my question. He looked at me seriously. And then laugh.

"Who do you like? Is he your college friend? I'll just give up after I know I'm better than I am" Alex said with confidence.

I just glared sharply at him. This young man really did not give up easily. I finally walked away from the pavilion. Alex is chasing from behind.

"Riza, wait! You're angry, yes!" his yell.

But I didn't bother him and kept going. Get around and enjoy the view of Lavender until the afternoon.
