The first day of Kemala's return, his father immediately felt better. It feels healthy with the presence of Kemala in this house. The middle-aged man was truly happy to be able to look back at his beloved daughter. Unlike Kemala who really misses Richard. He always imagined the handsome face of the vampire and also the melodious tenor voice heard.
Initially, everything went smoothly, sincerely Kemala took care of his father so that the condition of his beloved father really improved as usual. Even without feeling the time goes so fast. For 6 months Kemala lived with his father and during that time, the village flower never got news from his handsome vampire husband.
Nevertheless, Kemala still believes in her husband and faithfully awaits his arrival despite the longing continues to attack Kemala without stopping. Over time, the longing grew heavier and more violent. The girl felt lonely, lonely and alone without Richard by her side.
The days of Kemala he always went through more in the room, than outside. She prefers to be alone and shut down the outside world because she can't stop thinking about her husband, who is ringing in her head and memory every second.
Every time, I always wondered to myself. How he was, whether he managed to catch Vinot or not. He could heal Richard's parents. And most importantly, Kemala was really very curious if her beloved husband missed her as much as Kemala missed Richard.
But behind the longing that hit Kemala, he always covered his wrestling so that his father did not suspect. In front of the father, Kemala looked happy as if nothing had happened. But when he was alone, Kemala was hit by a deep turmoil.
“How are you doing, Husband? Why did you take so long to pick me up. Where I don't have your picture anymore. I'm afraid that for too long, I don't know if I remember what your handsome face looks like. The only thing I can easily remember is your long curly hair.” He looked at the window of his room facing directly towards Richard's house.
To be honest, Kemala has a weakness, which is difficulty recognizing a person's face if it has not been together for more than 6 months. The girl hoped that, this beautiful night filled with stars, her husband would emerge from behind the curtain of her palace just like Richard used to do. Kemala even imagined seeing her vampire husband in one of her palace windows.
Suddenly, the girl immediately ran out to the side of the house right next to the window of her room to ascertain whether her vision was correct or not. But after he rubbed his eyes, it turned out to be just his imagination. There was no one in the empty, uninhabited palace. Actually, he wanted to ask Gilberto, but for some reason, that one vampire didn't seem to stick his nose for a few days.
“I don't know Miss Kemala. Prince Richard didn't tell me anything. Perhaps His Majesty is busy until he has no time to give news. Please wait patiently for Miss Kemala. And believe me, Your Excellency Richard, will definitely be back here soon.” That is the sentence Gilberto always said every time Kemala asked about her husband.
If the assistant has spoken like that, there is nothing Kemala can do but wait and wait even though the heart feels muddy because it is constantly attacked by dustless longing.
Realizing that the figure of Richard he saw was just fiction, of course Kemala was disappointed, because what he saw was not real. The girl wanted to cry, but it didn't. Because he didn't want anyone to see him sad like this.
“What is Kemala,” Kemala's father said when he saw his daughter outside the house.
Kemala was quite surprised to hear his voice and covered his gloomy face. He tried to look cheerful in front of his father when far from the bottom of his heart, Kemala screamed sadly holding back his longing for his vampire husband who was somehow now there.
Of course, his father could not believe his daughter's words. Because the action and the talk, obviously very different.
“It's been 6 months since your arrival to this house. And all that time, not once did your husband come here to see you. I'm silent, because I have no right to interfere in your affairs. But if I see you like this, don't I deserve to know too? No father in the world can watch his daughter cry at night, but look cheerful during the day. What happened to you two? Tell me the truth to Daddy.”
His father's words, really make Kemala's cries break. Kemala was covering up his true feelings. His father already knew, but pretended not to know for the sake of keeping Kemala's heart.
The girl ran and hugged her father's body and poured out all her heart by crying in the arms of a loved one. “Nothing happened between us two Father,” isak Kemala is still in his father's arms.
“Then, why do you have to split up if nothing happens.”
“How do I know that Richard is very long back. He just told me to wait for him until he came to pick me up even though I didn't know when. I just miss him Dad. But I also couldn't prevent him from finishing what he had to do without me. Sorry about this I can't tell dad because it's both of our privacy. To this day, I'm still waiting for my husband. And I believe, he will come one day again.”
Kemala's father fell silent, he did not know what to say. The middle-aged man could feel the sadness that was engulfing his daughter. However, he also has no right to interfere if Kemala chooses to be faithful waiting for the presence of the husband who somehow conditions and circumstances. There is still or not, both Kemala and his father, both do not know.
“It's not good if you keep confining yourself like this from the outside world. You could get sick like me. Occasionally go out with your peers. Many times they ask about your situation, but they dare not come here because you prefer to be alone in the room. They want you to do activities with them while waiting for her husband to come. It was much better than you were only in the room.” Kemala's father gave good and useful advice to Kemala so that his daughter did not continue to be stricken with sadness.
He agreed to his father's advice because it was true. Better, Kemala look for new activities while waiting for the presence of Richard back. “Daddy right. Well, tomorrow Kemala will meet Kemala's friends and talk to them a lot. Pardon Kemala ya Yah .. Kemala has made dad worried,” Kemala said while leaning spoiled on his father's shoulder.
“It's okay my son. I just pray that your husband will finish his business quickly and come back here to be with us. It's a night, the night wind is not good for our health.” Kemala's father took his daughter into the house and began to rest to welcome the morning sun.
