Two Princes One Love
Cloud

The night then arrived. However, the sleepiness has not come to me. Though both my eyes were tired from reading the entire contents of the blue file.

I picked up a glass of warm tea available at the table, I looked up at the moonlight from behind my bedroom window. I think there is a longing that is held back. But not for Cloud, but for my family far away.

This longing just shows up. I miss my mom, dad and my sisters. When far apart like this, this longing is so great. However, if it is close, there must be material to fight.

"I hope everything's okay."

I closed my night with a prayer and a wish as I closed the window of my room. Tomorrow is my first day working here. I have to give my best. Has already arrived in this country. No more words to retreat. I have to mean it. I'm sure I'm capable. The spirit!!!

A few minutes later...

After trying to close both eyes, my drowsiness began to come. However, I still can't fall asleep. I don't know why I'm nervous tonight. Like there is less.

I tried to get out of the room, I breathed the night air, I saw some royal soldiers standing guard not far from my room. I then sat on the porch looking up at the sky, counting the stars to fall asleep.

"Miss, you haven't slept?"

A servant approached me while carrying a bushel of food for the soldiers on guard. He looked young, maybe only five years different from me.

"No, Mbok. I couldn't sleep" I said, smiling at him.

"Alright, Non. If you are sleepy, go to sleep. I was willing to deliver food to the soldiers who were on guard. Excuse me, Non."

I'm nodding. The servant then went to give food to the soldiers who were standing guard near my room.

My mind is erratic. A young man came to my mind. I don't know why I suddenly miss Cloud. Missing his seyum, his laughter, his body fragrant. Everything in Cloud, I miss him. Maybe this is called falling in love.

The treatment Cloud gave me made me feel more and more like belonging. It felt like I wanted to be alone with him for a long time and pour out this feeling.

Uh! I was imagining too much. How could a country girl like me be loved by an unpretentious prince like Cloud. Moreover, he is beautiful and has a great influence in this country.

Sometimes I ask, why should I be the one Cloud invited? That question sometimes sneaks between my busy lives. During my time with Cloud, I never felt uncomfortable or worried. What is, I want to always see it, accompany it, and if possible I want to always be with him at every opportunity.

My heart is calm with him. He is like a fire that burns my spirit. If he hadn't brought me here, I might still be living in the village.

It was not because of his bule-like face and masculine posture. I love how I treat a woman. He never said anything rude or threatening to me. Not like Rain.

Huh! If I remember Rain, my heart is upset again. He has done it a few times. How dare he be disrespectful to me. The words that came out of his mouth were painful. He was so self-indulgent. I want to teach him a lesson. But baby, the opportunity is not on my side yet.

Come to think of it, apart from his arrogance, Rain was also charming. His posture is very athletic. However, his skin color looked darker than Cloud's. He said Rain was more out of the palace than Cloud.

Maybe it was military training that got his body formed. Its height also exceeds Cloud, differing by about 3-5cm. But I don't want to care about it. He was just cruel to me. Why am I being kind to him? It seems that being kind would be a waste of my energy. For him it makes no difference, I act indifferent or humble myself in front of him.

"Hoaamm...."

The next day...

I woke up early in the morning. I think I slept enough last night. I immediately headed to the bathroom. The water in the morning is so fresh in my body. Not here, not in my village.

As I walked, I saw at the table there was a meal for breakfast this morning. There is a bowl of mushroom soup, rice and also a glass of warm tea.

"It must be from the cloud."

There was no sender name for the dish I received. I just smiled to myself, sure that Cloud had sent it. I immediately took a shower to refresh my body.

...

After taking a bath still with a towel, I went to the dressing room. Inside the wardrobe there are still four unused dresses. There are black, white, red and green.

I want to wear the red one. However, this seemed to be in harmony with the clothes Rain was wearing. There was no way I was wearing clothes that were in harmony with her. Wearing white color also seems inappropriate. Because usually the white color dress is used for holy events. Marriage, for example.

"So I'm wearing green. It's in tune with the butterfly clamp I'm wearing."

I chose a light green dress to wear today. As usual, I had to curl my hair so as not to be disheveled when exposed to the wind, because the rules in the palace required that a woman's hair be shouldered to look more presentable. My hair is not too long, just my back. However, this bright blonde color made me feel like everyone else.

After getting ready, wearing a dress, doing my best, putting on minimalist make-up and spraying my own perfume, I felt ready to go through the routine this morning. I certainly didn't forget to eat breakfast first. Then I headed to the palace.

My work started from the main palace hall. This time I was accompanied by Mbok Asri. A senior servant at this job. Surely Mbok Asri got orders directly from Cloud, who else if not from him.

I made a rough sketch of the main room of the palace and began to imagine. It seems that it needs a renewal in this room. The palace paint is fading and must be replaced immediately to look fresher. Likewise with the glass curtain, the color is too old-fashioned in my opinion.

A few moments later...

After finishing making a rough skestsa of the main room, I switched to another room. I think the room's a little, uh! turns out I was wrong. There's a lot of room here. One by one I entered the room and made the scheme until my hands ached.

"This palace is so vast."

I didn't expect going around the palace to take long enough. If it counts, I've started it from seven in the morning. But until lunchtime, I haven't finished it all yet.

"Nature ...."

I heard a voice calling me from the side. Mbok Asri also said goodbye to me when he found out who came.

"cloud? Em, I mean ... Prince Cloud," I said with a smile covering up the mistake in the name.

It's in an open room. Many palace servants and officials were pacing back and forth. Why am I so glad I didn't accompany the prince's words in summoning Cloud?

Cloud only smiled at my attitude. It was like he understood what I was thinking.
