The King's Lover's Culun
Chapter 20

"How, the food here is good, isn't it?" ask King.

"Yes, good."

The king smiled and went back to enjoying his meal. After he finished he quietly took something from his jacket pocket.

"Khem, Honey. I have something for you."

"What?" ask Alexa.

"Close your eyes first."

Alexa rolled both her eyes.

"Say, don't close your eyes."

"Come romantic."

Alexa grumbled but did it anyway. He closed his eyes.

"Udah yet?" alexa asked annoyed, impatient.

"Udah, now open your eyes" said the King.

Alexa opened her eyes she saw King thrust a red ring box in which there are two rings, the shape is simple but certainly the price is not cheap. The king will not buy cheap goods especially for his lover.

"What's this for? Are you impersonating me?" alexa was surprised.

"It can be said like that. I want to tie you up, so you can't turn your back on me. I'm also bound to you and I won't turn away from you."

"But this is King's exaggeration."

"No, consider it our gift. Here I do this on your middle finger, 'cause it's not a wedding ring."

"I want it in the thumb."

"Oh, okay on the thumb." The king watched the ring on Alexa's right thumb.

"You put this ring on my thumb, too." The king asked Alexa to do the same to him.

Alexa took the ring in the box and put it on King's thumb.

"Don't you take off this ring, it's a sign of our relationship."

"okay." Alexa smile.

The heart of the King is flowering. He kisses Alexa's hand, leaving her shocked and misbehaving Lexa pulling her hand.

"We better get home. It's already night. You remember Papah's punishment, don't you?"

"Oh yeah, why only until nine, anyway. Very quick. Cinderella till twelve."

"Because I'm not Cinderella."

"Yes, you're Arjuna's daughter, the King's girlfriend not the prince's boyfriend."

"Well, that knows. Let's go home at half-nine."

With a heavy heart the King woke up and took Alexa. He is not satisfied with Alexa. The king put several hundred thousand dollars in Bill's list placed on the table.

They also walked out.

As the King passed Aldi's table, the girl who was with Aldi smiled at the King. However the King was indifferent and did not respond to the girl's smile. The king smiled at Alexa.

Aldi looked at the girl he was with smiling at the King. "It looks like this dinner won't work. We better not see you again. We don't fit in, most importantly, I don't like you!"

"But I fit in with you, I like you."

"Curtain, you like my friend. You want to get me to let him. You think I don't know Lo's rotten plan?!"

"You're wrong Al, I'm not like that!"

"Curtain, you muna! You can go home by yourself, right? I don't want to nganter you. Tell your parents that this relationship will not work. I refuse this match!" Aldi got up and walked away.

The girl who was with him was staring at Aldi's departure. He then smiled slanted. Aldi seems to know the plan.

***

King got out of the car and opened the car door for Alexa. He then walked to the door of Alexa's house while holding her hand.

The king rang the bell. The open door showed Arjuna staring at them.

"Night Om, this is his son I returned at exactly nine as agreed. Thank you so much, for your time."

"Good! Your talk can be held. Coming in!"

"Sorry, Om. I have to go home. It's already night."

"All right."

"Lexa, I go home first yeah, you go in the room, wash your face toothbrush, wash your feet, wash your hands and keep sleeping."

"I'm not a kid anymore to be reminded of!"

adorable little one, isn't it, Om?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"I say goodbye to Om, Lexa. I'll see you tomorrow, baby. Uh."

The king wanted to kiss Lexa on the cheek, but Arjuna's sharp gaze made him goosebumps. The king finally leaves just to give a kiss bye from afar to Lexa.

After the King's departure, Arjuna closed the door. "How can you date her?" ask Juna to Lexa.

"I don't know Pi either. Lexa go upstairs." Lexa walks away from Arjuna.

"What about Him?" ask Juna.

Alexa's steps stopped. "He chose to leave. We will not be us, in his heart there is already another." Alexa continued her steps.

Arjuna looked at Alexa. "He will be back soon, may you have completely wiped him out of your heart" Arjuna said.

Arjuna stepped up to assess the stairs leading to his room.

***

This morning the King didn't pick up Alexa. In accordance with the agreement Alexa will leave with Tara.

Alexa has arrived at school in the bell by Tara. He got off the bike, and at the same time got the King out of his car. They look at each other's eyes.

The King's eyes then glanced at Alexa's hands. The ring is still embedded in Alexa's thumb. King smiled.

He then approached them. "Let's go to class" he told Tara and Alexa.

Tara holding Alexa's hand they stepped side by side. Alexa is in the middle.

"Let's rest I wait in the rooftop" whispered King to Alexa.

They arrive at the class. "You came in, learned the right thing. If there's anything chat I'm okay."

"Yes Brother."

Tara then kisses Alexa on the forehead. Everyone in the class was watching them. The king saw it. He should have kissed Alexa on the forehead, too. He was jealous of Tara.

"Khem!" King bertehem.

Tara looked towards the King and smiled obliquely. The goal was to make the King envious.

"Let's go to class!" King pulls Tara's bag.

"Bye, geeky!" shouted King.

Alexa, then walk to her stool. He then sat down. He knew everyone was watching him. He looked at his friends.

They throw their faces away and come back to joke with their friends. No more whispering or teasing Alexa. They don't want to be like Sisca.

The bell has rung. Students who are still outside start to enter the class. Soon a teacher arrived. The first lesson begins.

Unlike the King class, which turns out there is no teacher. They were given the task of writing and filling out questions.

Some work, some sleep, some gossip, some go to the cafeteria.

The king went to the cafeteria with the others. He bought a lot of packaged food and cakes. "Ja, you bought a lot?" ask Alvin.

"Make the geeky."

"Oh my goodness, my sweet friend."

"Ja, who did you go to yesterday? Dinner together, you're cheating?" ask Aldi.

"Well, seriously Di? Wow Raja, here you are sook sweet same geeky. It's not outside of having anything else. Naturally, the geeky 'kan .. ya Lo know, deh. So maybe the other king's nyari."

Plaques

The king hit the back of Alvin's head.

"If you say that, don't be reckless. I'm, seriously, geeky. I love him, who yesterday was my cousin."

"Oh that's it. Lo's cousin."

"Where would he say, there's his brother here. later on in the slaughter, Mampus Lo!"

"Tar, how about. You don't suspect the King?" ask Aldi.

"Quiet, now I trust him. But if he makes me sick later. He's gonna disappear from this earth."

"Tuh, listen Ja, don't fuck around!" Aldi patted the King's shoulder.

"Gue is just one thing."

They're in the cafeteria until the break bell rings. The atmosphere of the cafeteria that had been quiet turned into a crowded one.

The king and his friends, left the canteen. Tara goes to the Alexa class, Raja and the others go to the rooftop.
