"thankfully, my wife sent food to the prince, otherwise my son's one² will die of hunger" His Majesty secretly peeked at his wife from behind the door.when his wife was monitoring the prince from the magic mirror.
The king quietly cried and returned to his room with a heart of grief.
"let's go back to the room" the Queen's Majesty asked after being satisfied to see her son.
"good, Queen"
The night is getting late.
The prince laid his body on a piece of newspaper and saw a bright night sky filled with stars.
"aduuuhh.." someone's voice sounded.
The cat immediately looked towards the sound.
An old man walked over and approached the prince.
"the little cat where is your master?" ask the old man while opening a piece of newspaper and put it on the floor and sit next to the cat
"you must have been banished by your master?I was also dumped by my son because I was useless, I was old enough but I also did not want to be taken to a nursing home,I better live like this and work foraging with my own sweat, yes..although my job is only looking for used goods but this is a halal job.justified...?" the old man looked at the cat and smiled.
Wrapped in wrinkles on his old face, there were so many burdens in his life but he did not give up.
The prince stared intently at the old man.
"i have a piece of bread, eat it" the old man took out a piece of bread and put it in front of the cat.
The cat looked towards the old man.
"eat, I've eaten a piece and tomorrow I'll work again so don't worry" the grandfather stroked the head of the cat prince.
"meoong.." prince cat devours bread given by old grandfather.
"hahaha.see also you are hungry but still shy to eat it"
"if my wife was alive maybe I wouldn't be alone and lonely, I'm getting older I have to live like this.When I was a child I always pampered, I always pampered,after he succeeded he forgot me his parents even intended to take me to a nursing home, he said my life only carried a burden in his life" the grandfather bowed his head, holding back tears and sadness.
"well little cat I have to go, take good care of yourself and soon find a good master for you who will take care of you" the old man stroked the cat's head again and stood up slowly.
"haahh...sad old this is very difficult to wake up" after trying hard to wake up finally the old man can stand up and walk slowly leaving the cat.
Then he laid his body back and looked at the sky.
"huuuff..ayahanda, all this time I have lived so well that I do not know how things are outside.thanks for sending me here" the prince of cats closed his eyes.
IN THE PAST.
The king was seen smiling as he looked at his only son in the magic mirror.
Of course that smile is a smile of happiness, but also a smile haru because in the corner of his eyes there is a drop of tears flowing.
"So, is there something?" ask the royal advisor.
"no, I have to rest"
"good sire, good rest" the royal adviser bowed his head
Along the way to the room, Baginda did not stop smiling while crying.he looked very happy and satisfied with his decision.
"So, is there something?" the guards were so scared to see the king acting strange tonight.
"i'm happy, because the prince can quickly understand what I mean by sending her into the future"
"mean Sire?" the guards did not understand
"in a few days' time, the prince will meet someone"
"someone?is the prince's soul mate He means?"
"yes, after meeting him it all depends on the prince whether he will remain there or return to bring his soul mate and his little family to the palace"
"Baginda I don't understand, isn't the prince the next king's candidate?"
"right, go you'll never understand, I'll rest"
"good Your Majesty, servant resign"
The king closed his eyes.
"in a moment, stay a little while longer, you be patient my prince" he murmured with a smile.
