The Prince
28. Punishment

On a round wooden table whose color of plistur began to fade, Kia placed a bottle of lemon water infusion mixed with daunt mint, and honey. Sipping it made Kia feel refreshed, especially after she felt tired of lack of sleep.

The sound of the neighbor's music accompanied Kia that morning. Ornamental plants with various shapes, neatly lined up, become loyal friends of Kia.

The plant seemed ready to hear Kia's complaint. Being a quiet friend for Kia to think about her future. Plants always offer peace.

"Aslan, Aslan, Aslan"

That name filled Kia's heart and mind.

Kia had a hard time sleeping last night thinking about the man's name. The man who is now the boss. The man who used to be his hero, but he also destroyed his dream.

The married man came again. After Kia returned to life, the man again ruffled the arrangement of Kia's plans.

After the incident yesterday. Kia left without a word. But after that, there was a bigger incident that made him die of style.

Kia kept holding her lips. Closing his eyes wiped everything. But still, it feels so real. The incident continues to pursue him.

Just as Kia was about to leave, Aslan managed to grab Kia's hand. Interestingly rough, so Kia's body approached the stocky body.

And without permission, without permission, with a slightly rude act Aslan landed his firm lips on Kia's lips. Yes, they kiss with one-sided will.

Kia had tried to rebel, distancing himself from Aslan. But Aslan's energy is so strong. One hand clutched Kia's nape, another held Kia's body back from her.

Although it was not the first time, still Kia was still very trembling. Kia only felt that twice in her life. 7 years ago, and yesterday, still with the same person, Aslan. That unpredictable married man.

Kia could only resign, feeling the hot spray that made Kia's heart fall apart.

Hate, need, sad and angry. The taste of it they both spill into one, in the pagutan lip that should not be done.

"This is your punishment for daring to slap me" whispered Aslan releasing her grip as she realized Kia was out of breath.

Kia just kept quiet with a breath of gasp. Kia angry. It should be Kia who has the right to be angry, but the funny thing is, after doing so, Aslan looks more at her angry face and leaves Kia first.

"Punishment? Slap it?" kia's kisses and lips were so expensive that he took care of them, taking them, was considered a punishment by the married man.

"Dasarrr" muttered Kia did not accept.

"Aaahh why can't I forget her" Kia cursed to herself remembering yesterday's incident.

"Sober Kia unconscious. It's a sin, he already has a wife, he's not a good man" said Kia again fix Kia's brain which actually wants to clarify the memory of yesterday's taste, but inginya forget.

"Marry me, we'll be parents together for Ipang"

Those words made Kia even more raging. How could Aslan ask her to get married when she had a wife.

Ah if only Aslan was still alone Kia wouldn't be as frustrated now. He would definitely agree to it, especially if it was for Ipang's sake. But look now, if Kia gets married, whether it's good or just will hurt Ipang.

Being a second wife, sharing a husband, that's not what any woman wants. Kia wants to be the only one in her husband's heart. Whoever her husband is, not as a second.

Then Kia got up and headed for her room. He opened his closet, under his pile of clothes, in the corner of the closet. The small and sweet safe locked, Kia picked it up and opened it.

"I have to end this. I'll give it back. Whatever happens. I gotta go"

Inner Kia held a small box and it contained it.

****

Quarantines.

That morning the schedule of the small star participants taking the sports classes was guided by a professional coach. They were invited to stretch with gymnastics, group games and after that shower, breakfast and take vocal classes.

Because Ipang and Daffa sports classes are very enthusiastic to follow. Ipang like finding the world and his happiness, attending school, having many friends, and sharing with Daffa.

"We're drinking yuk!" take Daffa to Ipang.

"Groov!" replied Ipang then they both headed to the locker where they took drinks.

And in the locker Ipang and Daffa looked a bunch of their friends. Standing with a cynical gaze held onto the Ipang bag he had taken out of the locker.

"What are you doing here?" ask Daffa.

"Don't you see what we're doing?" alena asked bravely while taking Ipang minun water.

"That's what I gave you.. I'm thirsty!" answer Ipang casually.

"This yours? Hahaha" Alena laughed loudly mocking Ipang then Ipang water was spilled.

Alena is older than Ipang and Daffa. He was brave enough to antagonize those two boys.

"Why are you throwing away my drink?" tanya Ipang did not accept.

"Because I hate you!"

"Why do you hate me?" ask Ipang

"Because you've been playing with my Dady?" Answer Alena.

"Alena. I told you, didn't I? Ipang is our brother ?" daffa told his cousin.

"No! You don't be a fool Daffa. Don't you know, that kid exists when mom and dad get married and live together. How this kid could be Daddy's. This child's mother is not married and lives with Dady" replied Alena Long according to the knowledge of the child at her age.

"Yes yeah? But Uncle said, we're brothers?" daffa answered, Releasing confidence

"Dady really said that?" alena did not accept.

"Yes" answered Daffa.

"But they never lived together and married, why could he be his son. Daddy's son is just me" Alena replied again.

"What if my mom and I were going to live with my dad. Are you going to admit me as your brother?" ask Ipang to Alena.

"That's impossible" Alena replied

"But dad said so" replied Ipang.

Hearing Ipang Alena's words angry again, dropped Ipang's bag and stepped on it. Daffa and his friends confronted him in wonder.

Alena still does not understand and accept. Why all of a sudden Daddy has to tell Ipang his son. Where does Alena have a sister and a brother.

Ipang himself confused, what's wrong if Ipang has a father. Ipang saw many of his friends were brothers, being the older brother of one father, they were fine. Ipang wants it without Ipang knowing about the hearts of adults and marriage.

After venting it, Alena cried. He who is angry himself is upset himself he himself is also the one who cries. Then Alena left Ipang and Daffa, while Daffa and Ipang remained silent.

"Women are indeed troublesome" said Daffa kindly take Ipang bag.

"Hmm do I have to call Alena big sister? He's not like a big brother" Ipang said again.

"That's it, let it go. You drink this we share, bargain Daffa give the bottle.

"Thank you" replied Ipang smiling.

Then they continued their activities. Go to Bali to the bathroom, shower, breakfast, and take classes as scheduled.
