"Are you happy, Put?"
The question given by Desi makes the Princess feel like a big stone. Is he happy now?
The princess looked at the ring on her ring finger. The ring is very simple, but looks very luxurious. In fact, the diamond in the middle of the ring is not an ordinary diamond. Yes, the Princess is very aware of it, because she has several collections of diamonds bought by Papa Satria and Bara.
How can the Princess be happy, if her heart has been owned by another man. However, the man proposing to her right now is not the man she loves.The one thing she should be grateful for, is that Soni loves her very much. Doesn't love grow on its own over time?
"Put, do not force your heart and feelings, if you are not happy with him," said Desi who made the Princess raised her eyes towards Desi.
The princess looked back at the ring on her ring finger. His other hand was still playing the ring on his finger.
A few hours ago.
"So, did you accept my proposal, Put?" ask Soni which made the Princess take a breath and slow her down.
"I-i-"
Silence, only the sound of the wind blowing greeted the earth.
Soni took out the ring in the velvet box, then she took the Princess' hand and put the ring on the Princess' right hand ring finger.
"I know you don't love me. I know that you will say 'sorry' for rejecting me. I know, if there is another man in your heart, Put," said Soni who has managed to insert the beautiful ring into the Princess's ring finger.
Soni raised her gaze, then she smiled so gently.
"I will not force you, Put, to accept me. I also want someone I love to love to love me, Put. Therefore, I will not force you to accept my proposal," continued Soni who made the Princess frown.
"And for this ring that I put on your ring finger. Think of it as a gift and gift that I brought to you from abroad. After all, it's been a long time since you've gotten a gift from me?" A sincere smile emanated from Soni's face, the man looked solemn with what he said just now.
"But there's one thing you should know. I'll keep waiting for you, Put. I'll wait until there's someone right to look after you for the rest of his life. And when that comes, then I'll find a replacement for you."
One drop of Princess tears fell soaked the back of Soni's hand that was holding her hand warmly.
"Hiks ... Sonny .. you---"
"Don't say anything, Put. If you just want to affirm the rejection of this proposal. At least, please do not drop my pride as a man because it has been rejected by you," said Soni with sadness and pleading gaze.
"I don't ask you to accept me, nor do I ask you to love me, Put. I'm just asking you to accept this ring, even if it's not a cover ring. I don't give a shit. I just want you to wear this ring, even if it's just for a day. I beg?" pinta Soni which makes the Princess slowly nod her head.
"I will wear this ring, because my best friend gave it to me with a sincere heart" replied the Princess, who made Soni nod her head.
"That's better" replied Soni with a smile even though her heart had been broken to pieces.
"Soni, you're a good man. I'm sure that someday you will find the right woman" said Putri cupped Soni's cheek with one free hand.
"What if that woman is you, Put?" ask Soni who hopes if there is still a speck of hope for her to be in the heart of the Princess.
"Sounds very sweet," he chuckled. "I hope one day you will love me too. So I can apply to you." The words spoken by Soni also made the Princess also laugh.
"Heemm, hopefully. We never know how God turns people's hearts back, do we?"
"Yes, you're right" replied Soni agreeing with the Princess' words.
Can Soni hope that God will turn back the heart of the Princess and make the girl love her? Nothing is impossible in this world if God wills.
"Haaah, the night is getting colder" said Soni and opened her coat. "Wear it," said Soni as she wrapped the Princess' body.
"Thank you" the Princess chirped with a smile.
"Do I want to swing again?" tawar Soni who was nodded by the Princess.
"certain."
Current time.
The princess still stared at Soni's gift ring. The corner of the girl's lips was raised to form an arch of a smile. It did not escape the eyes of Desi.
"What does happiness mean, Des? What if we are with the people we love? Then will we really feel happy?" ask the princess who made Desi frown.
Doesn't living with the people we love make us happy?
"You know, Des. There is nothing that can make you happy, other than being loved," said the Princess and raised her eyes staring at Desi who was looking at her with a frown.
"Soni loves me so much. It just takes time for me to love her." The words that came out of the Princess' mouth, made Desi aware of her thoughts.
"Put, you love Arash. I know you love him very much. But why did you stay away from him, Put? Why don't you fight for your love?" asked Desi which made the Princess smile.
"Why am I fighting for a taboo love? While in front of me right now there is a man who loves me very much!"
"What if Arash loves you too? Are you gonna give up, Put?" The question given by Desi also made the Princess' blood rustle.
The question that Desi asked him. "What if Arash loves you too?". Yes, 'If'. A word that has a taboo meaning.
"What if Arash doesn't love me? Whereas I've fought for him and ignored people who love me?" ask the Princess back which made Desi straighten her body.
"There's no 'If' Put, because Arash does love you. Arash loves you," said Desi, to the surprise of the Princess.
"What?" asked the Princess to confirm what she had just heard.
"Yes, Arash loves you, Put. He loves you."
