The next morning at the palace...

This morning was a little cloudy. It looks like it's going to rain today. Black clouds were marching to greet the inhabitants of the palace of the Space kingdom.

The eldest prince of this kingdom seemed to be tidying up his work desk. The important files he kept well in a special closet. Before long, there was the sound of the door of his room knocking from outside.

"Lake in!" Cloud let in.

The middle-aged man wearing green-colored royal clothes, came to approach him. The man looked to pay his respects to this crown prince.

"Happy greetings to Prince Cloud" he said, bowing his head.

"Thank you, Mr. Count."

He is the Minister of Home Affairs of this government. His age is almost the same as the king. He was also a reliable and trusted man by the Sky King, Cloud's own father.

"You called me, Prince?" tanyanya politely.

"Hm, yes. Today I want to take a break from my routine. Can you help me replace me for a while?" ask Cloud while putting the files in the closet.

"Of course, Prince. I will be happy to help" replied the Count.

"thank you. If any files come in, just put them on the table. I'll read it later."

Count nodded. The crown prince immediately said goodbye and left the room. His footsteps rang out between the palace's tiled floor which was so clean and glittering.

Today Cloud intended to go to the hill of the tree of heaven, he wanted to calm himself there. Some of the servants who passed by him seemed to give greetings while bowing respectfully. Cloud smiled back at him, raising his hand. It was so simple in the eyes of the palace dwellers.

Arriving in the palace's backyard...

The clump that is spread like a green carpet and a neat arrangement of garden flowers, making this palace look so classy. The palace looks so luxurious with a blend of colors that fit and not excessive.

Cloud was waiting for his horse to come. His white horse had been with him for many years. Before long, the Princess of Aksara Country came to him. The beautiful princess greeted this eldest prince.

"Happy greetings to Prince Cloud" he said with a smile.

Cloud turned to look at the princess. He saw the princess with a small smile. The princess gave her best smile to the prince.

"Princess Andelin. You were here?" ask Cloud for a chat.

"Yes, Prince. It just so happens that today I want to see the situation outside the palace. Maybe the Prince can accompany," he hoped.

"Em, sorry, Princess. It seems I can't do that. I have to go now" Cloud said.

Cloud's white horse then came, walking up to its owner who was with a girl. The Cloud Horse was as if puzzled as it looked at Andelin.

"Prince, may I come? Maybe I can accompany the Prince away?" ask again.

Cloud looked uneasy at the princess' request. He immediately got on his horse and ignored Andelin's request.

"Sorry, Princess Andelin. I want to go alone. Thank you" Cloud said.

Andelin was discouraged from hearing that. He felt insignificant in the eyes of this eldest prince. Cloud immediately set out on his horse, going from the palace to the hill of the tree of heaven. He did not blame the princess for getting closer to him.

Arriving on the hill of the tree of heaven...

Cloud got off his horse. He walked up the hill with White, his graceful white horse. Cloud then rolled up his horse and let the horse eat the grass of the hill. He walked closer to the tree of heaven.

"Nature ...."

The first word that came out of her mouth was the name of the girl, the same name as the tree of heaven before her. He then rested his body with his left hand as a support, on the trunk of the firm tree of heaven.

"I miss you, don't you miss me?" tanyanya herself.

Implied longing from the look of his handsome face. Cloud looked down while leaning against the trunk of the heaven tree which was none other than that tin tree. He wore his white royal robe as a symbol if his work was clean from the stain of corruption.

"What does Rain say, Ara?" ask her in a soft voice.

Cloud then raised his face. He spoke to the tree.

His voice sounded soft, like it was harboring a deep sadness. Cloud seemed to swallow his saliva. His breathing sounded heavy as it endured the grief.

"If it is not my sister, I will remove her from your presence. But this ... this is my own sister, Ara!"

Cloud shouted. He began to vent his resentful feelings from within his heart.

"You're the first woman I ever loved. The first woman I trusted. The first woman in my life."

Cloud tried to reset his breathing. It was as if he could not contain his emotions.

"Ara, why .. why are you doing this. Why Ara?!" ask again with high intonation.

"Is this what risk means? My heart was breaking to hear from him. I'm ...."

Slowly Cloud dropped himself in front of the tin tree. He sat down under the shade of a tree. A breeze of wind blew, sweeping away the thin strands of her hair. Cloud looked weak at this moment.

On that hill there was only one Cloud. He seemed unable to endure his sadness anymore. The tears rolled and then dripped, wetting his cheeks. Cloud was weak in the face of the situation that was happening. His mind was troubled from hearing that Ara had been in a special relationship with her own sister. Cloud hoped it was him.

He bent one knee and put his hand on his knee. His gaze was blank, he just stared straight ahead while enjoying the heartache in his heart. Such beautiful memories flashed through his mind.

At the lake, a while ago...

"You can play the violin?" ask Ara to Cloud.

"Slightly," replied Cloud briefly.

"Teach me, will you?" pinta the girl then.

"Could only. But there's a condition."

Cloud replied as he rowed the boat to the edge. At that time the two had just finished seeing the sunset from the top of the canoe.

"What's that?" ask the curious Ara.

Cloud did not answer. He just pulled over the boat and took Ara to walk along to the horse carriage.

"Cloud, you're a habit!"

Ara seemed to lash out in front of Cloud. However, Cloud did not pamper the girl's attitude as if asking to be spoiled by her. He kept walking until he got into the horse-drawn carriage. They are ready to return to the palace.

Inside the carriage, Ara seemed to be silent. He showed his powerful side while sitting with Cloud. Cloud noticed the girl's behavior, he immediately leaned his head on the girl's right shoulder.

"Have it, don't sulk." Cloud alternated spoiled to Ara.

"I'm upset, you didn't answer my question" Ara grumbled.

"Are you qualified?" cloud asked, as if challenging.

"What are the conditions?" Ara was curious.

"Terms ...."

Cloud then lifted his head from the girl's shoulder. He gently held both of the girl's arms while looking into both of her eyes. A clumsy Ara looked as Cloud behaved that way to her.

Cloud then tilted his head. The faces of the two were so close. He then tries to channel the feelings that are in the heart.

Cloud kissed the corner of Ara's lips gently. Ara was surprised by his attitude. The girl's eyes twinkled because of Cloud's attitude.

Ara ... reply.

Cloud said in his heart. He hoped that his kiss would be returned. His breath felt so warm. He kissed Ara wholeheartedly, trying to channel the feelings that were in his heart. Cloud loves Ara.

...

"Huh!!!"

Cloud throws blank. He was upset with himself. His breath hunted like he wanted to fight. His heart rate was unstable as those memories flashed through his mind. Cloud did not expect that he would experience this. It is dissolved in its own emotions.
