Arumeey was wearing a green toska dress decorated with a few small, faded pink flowers. She decorated her hair with small flowers. Colored matching.
"Arumeey. You're beautiful." praise Kanayan when you see Arumeey is ready.
"You're beautiful too, Kanayan." Arumeey commended Kanayan.
"That's it. Let's just go. I can't wait" Kanayan said, pulling Arumeey's hand.
They walked quickly towards the main hall. Everyone seemed to be present. Beautiful dress dress adorns the girl who is in the room of the main hall.
Delicious and sumptuous food is served on a long table.
Arumeey just focused on the table filled with food. He wasn't too excited to go along.
"Arumeey, let's go dancing" Kanayan said.
"You're just Kanayan. I want to eat. I'm so hungry"
"alright. Don't spend all your fancy food" Kanayan joked to his best friend.
Arumeey smiled as she walked towards the food table.
He picked up a large plain white plate and looked at the special dish.
Arumeey took a piece of grilled beef, black pepper squid, fried mushrooms, a bowl of white rice and also a bowl of onion chicken soup. After that Arumeey took some fruits and also water squeezed white apples.
Arumeey walked over to an empty table in the corner of the room close to a large open window. He sat down and put his food down.
"Well, unknowingly I've taken so much food. I'm like someone who just wants to mukbang" Arumeey muttered.
Arumeey picked up the cutlery and started cutting the roast. As he was about to put the piece of meat into his mouth, Arumeey was startled by the presence of a beautiful girl. The girl sat in front of Arumeey.
Arumeey immediately got up and saluted.
"Are you not the third princess of the kingdom of Babasal" Arumeey said.
"You remember me" said Princess Azarrin, who appeared in a charming dress.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner" he continued, staring at Arumeey's food.
"Is there anything you want to say. You come a long way and sit here with me, in a place that is not cooled by others" said Arumeey as if aware of something strange with the presence of princess Azarrin.
"I think I really want to sit where you sit. You know it. A comfortable place. Which is really wanted by everyone. But you came first." said princess Azarrin full of meaning.
Arumeey immediately understood what he was saying.
"I knew. You have a special place in the heart of Prince Zhumma. I don't know how to get you out of there either" he continued.
"You're an amazing girl. I've heard a lot about you. Even a few times I heard directly from the mouth of prince Zhumma. I knew him before you. We've been friends since we were kids. But only for a short time have you been in her heart." princess Azarrin did not stop talking.
"Arumeey. I want you to leave Prince Zhumma. I know you love each other. I didn't mean to hurt your heart. But me and the prince are getting engaged. I want him to just look at me"
"You keep talking from earlier princess. You better listen to me too. So you don't get me wrong" Arumeey said, cutting off princess Azarrin's conversation.
Princess Azarrin fell silent with her hands squeezing her dress.
"You don't have to be afraid of me taking your position. My relationship with the prince is not as far as you think. But to occupy the heart of the second prince, you must have the right heart to be placed there. Now I want to leave here. Please sit at this table" Arumeey took his food and moved to another table.
Princess Azarrin just fell silent on her seat. Not long ago some noble princess came to his approach.
Arumeey stared at the food in front of him.
"Hey, Arumey. You just left princess Azarrin alone. What's up?. What's he talking about?" kanayan asked in curiosity.
"Eitherway. I don't know what he's saying either." Arumeey said, not wanting to tell Kanayan.
"I don't think a big guy like him would come to meet the party invitation at our college" Kanayan said, taking Arumeey's food.
"You don't eat?. Didn't you just say you were very hungry" asked Kanayan astonished at the food that Arumeey had not yet touched.
"I'm not hungry anymore. You eat it." Arumeey thrust her plate in front of Kanayan.
.................
In the morning Arumeey was up and ready. Arumeey packed up his things and left Hwangguna college. As usual, Arumeey hired a horse. He came to visit Maepong's grandmother.
"Nenekkkkkk" Arumeey shouted when he found Maepong's grandmother's body lying on a dirty wooden floor.
Arumeey lifted and turned the skinny body of Grandma Maepong. Her tears fell down her cheeks.
He tightly hugged the body of Grandma Maepong.
"grandmother. Hang on. I'll find some medicine" he said, crying.
Grandma Maepong opened her eyes slowly.
"You've come. My beautiful granddaughter." Grandma Maepong smiled as she raised her hand to stroke Arumeey's face.
"grandmother. Please hold on for a moment. I'll get that medicine. I already know where to get the medicine" Arumeey said in a trembling voice.
"No Arumeey. You don't have to do it for me. Do that for someone else. You have to go right." Grandma Maepong tried to stop Arumeey's desire.
Arumeey lifted the already helpless body of Grandma Maepong again onto the bed.
Arumeey took food and drinks and fed them to Maepong's grandmother's mouth.
"Eat grandma. You must have energy. I'll be gone for a while" said Arumeey with puffy eyes.
Maepong's grandmother did not argue that she ate every bribe given by her granddaughter.
After Maepong's grandmother rested, Arumeey came back to his horse and ran quickly towards the city of Taraka.
It was not long before he arrived in front of Hwangguna palace. Arumeey got off his horse.
Arumeey ran towards the gate. Arumeey's steps were halted to the point that the gate guard soldiers crossed spears at the palace gate.
"Sorry miss. You can't go inside the palace." said one of the soldiers.
"I want to see the second prince" Arumeey said blankly.
"The second prince forbade us to open this door for you" the soldier said.
"What?? The second prince??" arumeey was surprised.
"I don't care. I have to go inside the palace" Arumeey said, trying to break through.
"You better get out of here, miss. Before we drag you by force" another soldier threatened Arumeey.
Arumeey was silent for a moment. He thought of fighting against those two soldiers.
"You must not have any thoughts against us, miss. You will be stamped as a rebel if you fight us" the soldier continued as if he could read Arumeey's head.
