The Prince & I: The Prince & I Season 1 - 5
First View
"I like you. Wait for me, Joy. I'll definitely be there. Don't go anywhere. Stay upbeat and good luck for your final exams."
After runaway boy Rey and tomboy Joy both know each other's feelings of liking, one of the biggest bumps in the heart seems to disappear. Joy became more excited about her final college assignment in August, and Rey was no longer anxious when she had to wait until Joy was declared a graduate.
And the time he spent daydreaming about what if Joy knew who she was. Whether Joy is the type of girl who is happy if she knows the bustle of a real prince, or even angry because Rey from the beginning was not straightforward.
"Aww, will you be princess or queen? Drinking tea with fellow nobles in the garden, sitting sweet on the throne while fanned by ladies, dance party?" thus Rey imagined if Joy to know himself a crown prince and the answer is either, "Yay! Funny right. It's engrossed! A real childhood dream, could be a princess." or "Nay, wear a dress? Everyday knickers and oversized t-shirts, keep on wearing dresses? Oh oh, oh.."
"I am not a handsome prince who is often depicted riding a gallant white horse, shimmering robed with a drawn sword, and used to sit sweetly on a throne. It felt just an ordinary royal uniform, the same as my friends, Yin and Yang, all the other young nobles, who I used everyday. Not the oversized robe and crown as in the animated cartoon films Disni. Even now, my mount is only an iron horse given by the King of Evertonia. My biological father. I think he too has slowly forgotten me. Huh, dad. I don't want to remember my past, including my father!"
"He doesn't love me!"
"Instead, for years, no Evertonian secret agent has been looking for me. Either they haven't succeeded, or the search for me has been stopped." And Rey is still safe, at least until now. I don't know until when. "Obviously, I'm never coming home! If you can, forever. Especially after Joy. I want to stay here, graduate college too, work, have a family!"
Back to Joy. Imagine meeting directly with the man he missed, the person most fun to be invited to laugh with, who filled his nights with a smile, which became his most beautiful gift on the night of his birthday, he said, as if to fill out his time before the exam in addition to studying and compiling the last material in the days ahead of his TA session.
"Actually, my first love was not the guy who looked like the Japanese. Not Kyo. But the princely costumed guy at the Fantasy World carnival or amusement park parade, in the mid-1980s, whom he visited with papa. Prince Charming's little guy who's Cinder Ella's partner. Even though I don't really want to be Cinder Ella. But the idea can be too. If Rey were a Prince Charming. Oops. Just met yet. Patience, patience." And the day passed so quickly for both of them.
Long story short, Joy's exam was successfully passed!
Graduating. 4 years of exhaustion has been successfully passed. In a moment, graduation. And a bachelor's degree will officially stick in his name.
And of course, this was also what the two of them had been waiting for. "Oh my God, Rey. I can call Rey back!" Joy almost forgot because she was so late in joy. And soon Rey, who of course had been waiting for Joy to contact him.
Joy immediately felt sweat rising in her hands, which were sweaty palms aka easily wet when nervous. Very groggy. "What should I wear, Ma?" ask her to Mama.
"Keep what you like, that makes you comfortable, stay yourself." suggested Mama.
"Uh, I hope Rey wasn't surprised to see me in person." Joy is not too cool. "Darling, I have to wear glasses, contact lenses alone no one can help this high minus. Even if there is, it is not suitable for me who are less able to maintain cleanliness, which there could even be my eyes irritated my throat." again Joy thought gloomy.
"Come on, spirit, Joy." Mama Joy doesn't want to see her daughter moping around. "If Rey is a good young man, he will accept you for who you are. And sincerely like you without the need to dress excessively.
Be yourself."
"Good, Ma." Joy tried to smile. He knew, in a few minutes, not an hour, would meet in person, face-to-face, ground coffee, whatever the term, with someone he wanted to know more deeply.
Suddenly, a motorcycle horn was heard from the front yard. Joy ran impatiently to the door.
"That's her. I'll see her soon. Is he the same guy in the picture?"
And out there, in front of the fence of the address Joy mentioned, Rey parked her old motorcycle. He looks neat with a long-sleeved grey shirt and black pants. He saw a shadow of someone on the window glass in the house.
"Joy, is that you?"
And the door is open. For the first time, their views meet.
