At night in the palace...
Cloud looked aloof on the palace terrace, enjoying a night of snowing alone. He looked up at the sky that lowered the ice crystal. His gaze was sad, as if his hope was dying.
"I've given you what I've been keeping all this time. But why hasn't he been able to accept me wholeheartedly?"
Cloud was injured with Ara's reply this afternoon. He gave everything to the girl.
"I humbled myself before him. It's not appropriate for me to do that. But .. I want it so much."
He sits on the terrace seat. Enjoy a cup of ginger water to warm her body.
"Ara ... What do I have to give you in order to be completely mine?" tanyanya herself.
Cloud pensive in his daydreams. He really loved that girl. He wants to have it fully. Cloud thought about what he should do again for the girl to put her name one in heart.
Another Cloud, another with Ara. Ara looked dizzy after the incident this afternoon. She sat down at her desk wearing a cream-colored nightgown. His mind was confused, he felt that he had said wrongly to Cloud.
In Ara's room...
"Ohhhh .. I'm confused!"
I know if I've made a mistake. It's not appropriate for me to do this. Now I'm worried. After what Cloud did to me, I had such a hard time determining directions.
"He couldn't have dared to do that if he didn't really love me. But what about Rain?"
I feel connected to Cloud. He has poured all his feelings into me. But I still think about Rain.
"Can't it be both?"
I can't choose, I want both. I was very confused about making a choice. My body seems to be owned by both. Really, there's no point in sharing, I just don't want to hurt one of them.
"Well, now what am I supposed to do? Cloud must be mad at me."
I held my head, feeling confused myself, still looking for a way to ease Cloud's anger. Because by accident, I had mentioned Rain's name while I was with him.
"Maybe I'd better just meet her."
I rushed to find him. I used my coat to dress my nightgown. Dressed in three-centimeter sandals, I walked out of the room and down the corridor. I let my hair run because it's night. Hair that I now pale blonde with curly model hanging waist.
"Where is he, huh?"
I tried asking the waiter I met. No one knows where Cloud is. I walked to the gazebo, but I didn't find him there. Until I met a passing bodyguard, I got the answer.
"Thank you."
I immediately headed to the place I was headed to. And I saw Cloud sitting alone on the balcony of the palace.
"cloud!"
I quickly approached her with a feeling of anxious expectation. Cloud also noticed my presence.
On the second floor terrace of the palace...
"Cloud ...."
I tried to greet him, but Cloud remained silent and did not want to get out of her seat. I was confused how.
"Cloud .. I'm sorry." I tried to persuade him.
I pulled out a chair and sat in front of him. I slowly held both of his hands. Cloud was still silent and did not bother me at all.
I know if he's disappointed by what I said. But I'm just trying to be honest. Yeah, even if it hurts.
"Cloud, I'm sorry, yeah."
I held her cheek gently while looking at her softly. I want this silence to be over soon. Cloud held my hand on her cheek.
I'm nodding.
"But why haven't I been able to put myself fully in your heart?"
The question confused me to answer. I'm like cornered. What do I have to answer so that Cloud doesn't grieve anymore?
"Cloud, I love you."
"But you love Rain too?"
"Cloud—"
He immediately got up from his seat and walked away from me. It was as if I did not want to be heard by him.
"You have to choose, Ara. Don't let me drown with this feeling" he said again, turning his back on me.
I really am confused myself. These two princes asked me to be his bride. Could I marry both? Do they want to accept each other? Will there be no quarrel later? Do they want to share with each other?
Oh, God .. help me.
I approached her, hugged her from behind without answering her question. I put my hands on her stomach, and she held both of my hands. Cloud turned to face me.
"Nature ...."
Cloud hugged me. He kissed my head while rubbing it.
"I'll wait for your answer. Please don't disappoint me."
I can only nod. There's nothing I can do but that. I let the cold of the night hit my body. I forget for a moment the problem that is happening. I enjoyed the moment when I was in his arms. In the arms of a prince I had so much hoped for at the beginning of our encounter.
Her morning...
I slept so fast last night. After meeting Cloud, I immediately slept in my room. And now, I was in a hurry to get dressed before going to see the king. Yes, Cloud's father called me this morning. I don't know what he wants to talk to me about.
I took a quick shower, then put on my own red kebaya. Some makeup strokes I use to beautify my face with the hair I let down. Not to forget the rose-scented perfume I sprayed all over the body. Plus five-centimeter shoes. I think I'm ready to meet the king.
"Non, breakfast."
Mbok Asri brought me breakfast. Two slices of bread covered in beef shreds and a glass of warm milk. I also ate breakfast this morning.
"Miss, is there anything Miss needs before meeting your majesty?" ask Mbok Asri to me.
"It doesn't seem like it, Mbok. I think I'm ready to meet your majesty."
I try to be ordinary in front of Mbok Asri. And in my heart is the mist of receiving this call of the king. I don't know what he'll talk about later. However, my feeling is that this has something to do with her two sons. I hope my feelings are wrong.
"Already, Mbok. I'll go first."
After finishing eating all the dishes, I rushed out of the room to meet the king's majesty. Implied expression of worry on the face Mbok Asri.
"Be careful, Nope."
I just kept walking towards the royal parlor. I don't know what will happen next. I try to accept whatever it is. Thank you for the bitter or sweetness. After all, I've already arrived here.
...
The closer I got to the royal parlor, the more my heart beat unbecoming. I repeatedly took a deep breath, trying to normalize my heartbeat.
I hope the good things I hear will be.
Now I have arrived at the entrance. I immediately knocked on the door twice before entering the room. Before long, someone opened the door from the inside. And it turns out, the male servant opened the door.
"Please, Miss."
I was then welcome to enter by him. With a smile, I set foot into the room where the king's majesty was waiting.
