Ranula (Full History of Wounds)
About Prince Erlangga

Zoya's glassy eyes looked at the back of Prince Erlangga who had just disappeared behind a bush. It feels really sad to have to part so soon. A few days stranded in this place who became an entertainer was the prince. Although he is flat and rarely invites Zoya to tell stories if it does not start, but Zoya is happy to be near him. There is an immeasurable sense of comfort and security that Zoya feels.

And now, prince Erlangga was gone, he already had to return to the royal palace. Zoya will be really lonely. There was not a word the prince said as he left. Prince Erlangga only said that Zoya should not trouble aunt Nor. Shitty indeed.

Though Zoya had hoped there was a farewell sweet enough to be remembered, but in fact, all was just the wish of Zoya.

"Ana, let's go in" Aunt Nor's words made Zoya gasp in shock. She turned to aunt Nor who seemed to be smiling looking at Zoya.

"Someday Prince Erlangga will definitely come again" said aunt Nor. Zoya tried to force her smile and nodded. Aunt Nor didn't know if she was afraid because she would feel lonely later.

"Did she visit aunts often?" ask Zoya while coming into the house following aunt Nor.

"Yes, if he was out of the palace he would have taken the time to come here. Asking to make grilled fish with spicy sauce" Aunt Nor replied with a small laugh.

"Yes, even I'm getting tired of seeing her just eating it for a few days now" said Zoya who is now sitting on her bed and looking at aunt Nor who also sat and pounded the leaves for her to make medicine.

"That was Ana's favorite" Aunt Nor replied.

"Have you known Prince Erlangga for a long time?" ask Zoya.

"It's been a while, since the previous queen was alive. Perhaps Prince Erlangga is still fifteen years old" Aunt Nor replied

"So her mother is dead?" Zoya muttered.

"Yes, who is now in office is the mother continued prince Erlangga." replied aunt Nor.

"First when out of the palace, the king of Kertangga was once attacked by a group of people who might be enemies of the kingdom. They are quite overwhelmed because of the attack arrived. Prince Erlangga was at that time. At that time, he was separated from the king. But my son managed to save her and bring her home. From then on, every time she went out of the palace she always came to visit us" aunt Nor said.

"Aibi must feel lonely in this house, especially after the aunt's son became a soldier" said Zoya.

"Do you know that from the prince?" ask aunt Nor. Zoya laughed awkwardly at hearing her.

"Yes aunt.. He told me a little about you. Oh no, I asked first. I'm sorry if I've been sassy" Zoya said

Aunt Nor smiled and shook her head.

"It's okay. I used to be lonely. But now it is no longer because there are already you who accompany me. My longing for my daughter who disappeared became a little treated" Aunt Nor said. But Zoya can see if Aunt Nor looks so sad.

"Auntie.you are a strong woman" said Zoya. He remembered his mother now. Whether they're looking for her now, it's been a few days Zoya hasn't come home. I hope her mother isn't worried.

"Yes, I have to be strong. My life I still have to take care of. Moreover, I still have my son, also the prince Erlangga, and now you are Ana. I'm quite happy" Aunt Nor said.

Zoya immediately went up and sat down next to Aunt Nor.

"Ahh aunt.thank you so much for supporting me here. I owe you one. Don't know what it would be like if I didn't find you here" Zoya said, holding back tears that wanted to come out.

Aunt Nor was also moved to get Zoya's treatment like this. She felt like she had met her daughter who had been missing for several months.

"Ana, don't hesitate. You can think of me as your mother now" Aunt Nor said

"Of course" Aunt Nor replied as she rubbed Zoya's head.

Zoya is really happy with all this. She did lose her world, but God still so good to send aunt Nor to take care of her here.

"If you miss Prince Erlangga, when will I escort you to the training ground of the soldiers. Sometimes Prince Erlangga is there to train new soldiers with the generals" said aunt Nor.

"Woah... That means I can still see him without waiting for him to come here?" zoya asked so happily. Aunt Nor laughed at Zoya's happiness. It seemed like the prince's formidable charm had already fallen on Zoya.

"Of course, we'll be there in two days. At once I want to see my son. I haven't seen her practice in a long time" aunt Nor said.

"Alright aunt, I also want to see prince Erlangga" Zoya replied involuntarily.

"Do you like her?" ask Aunt Nor with her cute smile.

Zoya gasped, but a second later she shook her head quickly.

"No no. I mean, I want to see him practice. I see.. hehe" Zoya replied with her awkward laugh.

"Alright" Aunt Nor replied quietly. Although she knew that Zoya did like Prince Erlangga, the red hue on her face could not lie. Yeah, who wouldn't like a guy like a prince Erlangga. Handsome, dashing and certainly a crown prince.

"But aunt.." Zoya stops aunt Nor from pounding her medicine.

"What's wrong?" ask aunt Nor.

"You said if people saw me, I'd be arrested. What if I get caught by them?" zoya asked doubtfully. The fear of last night's events makes Zoya was was.

"It's okay, you can cover yourself tomorrow. Besides, there are many places and near the government. We will be safe, especially if Prince Erlangga is there" Aunt Nor replied

"really?" zoya asked a little doubtfully

Aunt Nor nodded confidently and smiled back.

"You definitely don't know anything about Prince Erlangga yet" said aunt Nor again, and Zoya quickly nodded her head.

"Prince Erlangga is the crown prince who will replace the position of king Kertangga later. He was also known as a powerful war general. On various occasions he often fought to defend this kingdom. Prince Erlangga is not like other princes who feel at home in the palace. Every now and then he would come out to watch over the people of his people" aunt Nor said. His eyes look sparkling when telling about Prince Erlangga. It seemed like he was indeed so admiring that figure.

"Did he get hurt like yesterday?" ask Zoya

"Yes, even all over her body was covered in scars. But he was not afraid to leave the palace. At the end of this he rarely went out, because the king forbade him. Otherwise, I don't know how many times I've treated her wounds" Aunt Nor replied with a small laugh.

"Didn't he love life" Zoya grumbled.

"His life is only for Ana's people. That's what he always applies" Aunt Nor replied.

Zoya really did not end up hearing this story. It feels like a fairy tale to be believed or not. But a few days with Prince Erlangga, all he had to accept.

And again, how great was that prince really??? Is she really as tough as Aunt Nor told her????
