"It looks like you've misunderstood people, Mr. Neo. This time I forgive you. But not next time!" Rihana's voice tone was flat. Don't forget his eyes were so sharp on Neo standing in front of him.
"I don't misunderstand people. I know, it's you! Ak. I, I want to apologize. Please give me one chance to make up for all my past mistakes" Neo said softly.
"I think this is our second meeting, Mr. Neo. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You don't have to apologize, because you didn't do anything wrong. You must be the wrong person!" After saying that, Rihan immediately left but his hand was blocked by Neo.
"No. That's you! You're just replying to me. I'm pretty sure it's you. My heart is never wrong. I've been with you long enough. I clearly know your personality,"
"Heh... Knows personality? Then why don't you trust me?" Rihan murmured inwardly then grinned at Neo.
"I think I know who you're talking about, Mr. Neo. The person you are referring to is definitely my cousin, the late Rei. I heard your closeness to him first. And also, because of you, my brother died." Rihan's voice is getting cold.
"Our face is similar, so you must think I am him. But you're actually wrong. I'm Rihan and not Rei. Better keep your distance from me, young Master Neo. I don't want to cultivate hatred in this second meeting, and also because of my brother's death."
"No! I'm not wrong people! I know, it's all my fault that you're replying to me like this. I beg Ri, give me one chance to make amends for all my mistakes. I'm really sorry. I. I can't live without you. Please...!" Please Neo, who is still holding onto Rihan's wrist tightly.
"Let go of your hand, before my patience runs out! I don't want my future husband to misunderstand." Rihan tried to refrain from hitting this guy. Rihan is not even speaking formally anymore.
"I won't let you go until you give me a chance. Or. If you want me dead now, then I will. I'm willing to die right now in front of you!"
"You're threatening me?" Rihan asked and turned to look at Neo.
"No! I beg you, if you don't forgive me, at least let me always be by your side so that I can make amends for all my mistakes to you."
"You think I'm dead, Mr Neo? You want to change my place?" Zant's new voice appeared. The man's face looked very gloomy. He was clearly angry.
"From the beginning, my fiance didn't know you. You should be aware. Stop bothering him!" Zant then took Neo's hand off his little girl's wrist, and then they left.
***
The atmosphere in the car was very cold. Aura gripped a Zant because anger was very creepy. If it was someone else, he would definitely not hold it anymore and might faint. Unfortunately, this is Rihan. A little girl who is not afraid of anything.
It has been 15 minutes, the atmosphere in the car is still quiet. Zant only focused on the road in front of him, but the grip on the steering wheel was really strong.
"Oh, I forgot. This guy warned me not to meet let alone talk to that stupid guy. He must be angry now," Rihan murmured inwardly.
"Sister..."
Silent.
"Sister Zant!"
Silent.
"You mad?"
Zant still did not respond. The expression on the man's face did not change at all. His eyes stay straight ahead.
Seeing this man not responding to her, Rihan instead got angry or upset, but smiled faintly. Rihan then took his phone in his bag and started calling.
"It's time to meet Neo. I want to talk to him. Akh..."
CKITT!
The car suddenly stopped suddenly, making Rihan's phone slip out of his hand and fall down. Rihan slowly looked down to take his phone.
SRETT!
"You know I'm angry. Can't you persuade me?" Zant finally opened his voice after pulling Rihan and cornering him on his seat.
"Please get me my phone, brother." Instead of answering Zant, Rihan asked the man to pick up his phone.
"Is that guy more important?" Zant gets upset, but he takes Rihan off and picks up the phone that fell under the chair.
"Look if there's a call out" Rihan said, turning the other way because he didn't want Zant to see him holding a smile.
"You..." Zant didn't know what to say. He was already being attacked by his little girl. No outgoing calls at all.
"Haha..." Rihan after a long time, finally laughed. The girl was so happy after judging Zant.
Looking at that loose laugh, Zant's heart was beating very fast. Since meeting her little girl, this was the first time she had seen this loose laugh. One word Zant could say was beautiful. Nah! That's very, very pretty. His anger had disappeared somewhere, just because of the laughter of his little girl.
Rihan laughed for a long time. The girl then came to a realization because of the intense gaze of a Zant had on her. Slightly cleared his throat, Rihan then neutralized his face back and stared out the window.
"He who suddenly came. Sorry, if that pisses you off." Rihan's voice sounded very slow, but the man beside him could still hear it.
SRETT!
GREPS!
Once pulled, Rihan was already in Zant's arms.
"I don't like you meeting him. I. I just don't want you to change your mind and leave it by your side. Only me, only I can be next to you. Until death, I don't want anyone to take my place by your side!" Zant's tone of voice was very soft.
"I'm fine, brother. Sorry to upset you. If time passes, I might forgive him. Right now, I'm just venting my past frustrations on him. If Brother Zant thinks I'm going to treat him like I used to, then brother is wrong. It won't happen again.
Although I have not fully accepted you in my heart, but big brother should know! Your place I have specially prepared. I'm learning to accept you as King in my heart. My King's position was irreplaceable, "Rihan's voice sounded soft at the end of his sentence from feeling ashamed of himself saying that.
"Can you repeat it again? I want to record it for myself" Zant spoke with a happy smile. The man's ears were already red.
"I never repeat my words twice!" Rihan then looked the other way. When viewed carefully, the girl's cheeks blushed.
Still with a happy smile, Zant with his index finger and thumb, held onto Rihan's chin and slightly turned his head to face him.
CUPS
Zant stuck his lips on Rihana's forehead for quite a while. Although the man was eager to land a kiss on the natural red lips and teased it, but he did not want his little girl to be angry. In fact, not necessarily.
"I'm sorry, I only heard it once." Zant muttered after pulling Rihan into his arms again.
"This feeling is really weird. But, conveniently..." Rihan said in his heart. Both can hear each other's heartbeat, as well as the person they hug.
"When I took him out tonight to propose to him, that stupid man ruined it all. Never mind, at least I can see his loose laughter, and hear that statement." Zant muttered inwardly and smiled happily.
***
Zant sports car just entered the main gate of the Lesfingtone family mansion. Parking his car, Zant then got off and opened the car door for Rihan. Still with a big smile, Zant linked their fingers together and walked into the mansion.
Since it was already half ten in the night, Rihan's parents had already rested. Rihan and Zant were only greeted by the butler. Alex and the others may be busy in their own rooms.
Arriving at Rihan's room, things suddenly become awkward. Rihan quickly removed their finger links, and immediately headed for a walk in closet to change clothes. Zant himself was just dumbstruck in his place. Upon awakening, the man smiled faintly and immediately landed his buttocks on the sofa.
"I'll take a shower, you take a break first." Zant opened his voice when he saw Rihan's appearance in sleeping pajamas. Rihan only replied with a nod. Zant actually just felt awkward so looking for a reason to want to take a shower.
After Zant's departure to the bathroom, Rihan breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly he was nervous. Before getting into bed, Rihan narrowed his eyes at seeing something on the sofa table.
"It's..." Rihan's heart skipped a beat holding a small box in his hand.
BRACKET!
"You have seen it. It's really not according to plan" Panik Zant who came out of the bathroom suddenly because he realized something.
Zant, who wanted to take a bath, recalled that he had forgotten to keep the ring box to propose to Rihan earlier. With just boxer shorts, the man ran out wanting to keep the ring.
Zant plans to propose to his little girl next time. Unfortunately he was late, because the ring box was already in Rihan's hands.
"As you think. Give me the box! This is not the right time to propose to you. I'll prepare it tomorrow" Zant scratched his nape and walked over to Rihan. Zant's outstretched hand demanded back the velvet box in his little girl's hand.
Rihan casually gave the box to Zant. However, his hand remained floating in the air making Zant frown in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Ask Zant.
"Pair it on my finger" replied Rihan casually.
"Hey... How could I propose to you in this state? You don't see what I'm wearing? This is going to be the worst proposal ever. Nah! It's better tomorrow," Zant refused, shaking his head.
Zant had prepared the best proposal for his little girl. How could he do it in this situation? He as a man, was really embarrassed.
"Either that. This is a unique proposal in my opinion. For what all that luxury is, if eventually many couples get divorced. Applications can be done anywhere and anytime. I don't need luxury like everyone else. I don't want to be the center of attention either, because it will only invite the envy of others to me. As long as I'm happy, that's enough. Pair it up now, or sister will have to wait another two years." Threatening Rihan is just a joke.
"You're really driving me crazy, little girl." Zant then opened the velvet box and took the ring and put it on Rihan's finger.
"All the sentences I've compiled since long ago just to propose to him, it turns out not needed at all." Zant murmured in the heart.
After giving a kiss on the back of the hand with the application ring, Zant then looked lovingly at Rihan.
"Thank you for accepting me to be King in your heart, My Queen. Iloveyou! That will never change until anytime. Be my queen, and let's build our own palace and present many cute princes and princesses in the future. Stay with me, until death do us part." Zant then pulled Rihan into his arms. Rihan just nodded, not knowing what to reply to.
"Very unromantic" muttered Zant between their arms.
"For me it's enough, brother. Thank you, My King."
