You're My Antidote
Unknown to Self

It's not just the dress that Rani tried. But it also turns white kebaya with a simple design but looks very beautiful.

"You know Rani?" ask the owner of a boutique called Dusk. The woman was about 40 years old who was the King's distant cousin who helped her try on a dress. "Oma Lintang ordered this kebaya and dress almost two months ago."

Not knowing what to respond to, Rani just smiled faintly.

Is Ibu Lintang so sure that he will be his daughter-in-law. I ordered the dress all day. Or is there another woman that the Shandika family has prepared for the King?

From the beginning, Rani did not understand about the mind path of the Shandika family for her marriage to the King.

"I was confused, why not the bride directly measure. It turned out that the candidate had not been proposed." the woman chuckled and opened the curtain.

"Wahh very beautiful." praised Ms. Lintang when she saw her already wearing a dress that was very fitting in her body. "His arm was only limited to the elbow, fortunately last night the King reminded me that you were yesterday wearing a hijab, it could be when married you also want to hijab he said." from his voice, Ibu Lintang sounded proud. Either he decides to go headscarf, or his son who cares more about others.

"Yes. I was made dizzy because oma asked this afternoon so you can try."

Rani spins around following Latang's Mother's instructions. Try the dress and kebaya that will be used on the wedding day.

***

The next day Rani leaves with a question for the King. The question of the envelope that the man left on one of the caretakers and only received this morning.

"May I ask, sir?" rani asked after explaining the King's activities today.

"Just ask." his superior replied nonchalantly as usual. What was different was that the man was now staring at himself as he spoke.

"The envelope that you left to Ani's mother, what do you mean?"

The king did not answer his question. It seems to be thinking who is Ani's mother.

"The mother of the caretaker who she said yesterday met her father when she came home from the market."

"I don't know. Just ask mama."

"So who's the father's cousin who's going to pick me up tomorrow?"

"Twin. I want to bring you a spa. But this morning, he said later on the day H."

He had already opened his mouth ready to ask any more questions, but immediately cut off the King who drove away with a hand gesture. "Work!"

"One more sir." please. "Today I'm allowed to go home an hour early." only reply with his boss raising his eyebrows.

"I have an appointment with Brother Adit, want to take Citra for a walk."

"If I don't give permission?" the boss folded his hands in front of his chest and sat leaning back like a challenge.

"I beg you sir. Tickets are bought, baby."

"OKAY. I have something to talk to Adit about."

Rani thinks the king only wants to meet Adit for a while. It never occurred to me if the King would participate in his travel plans with Adit who was trying to familiarize himself with Citra.

He still could not believe that King was sitting on the bench to watch an animated movie. Not one bit of the man complained of being bored. But neither did he look interested in the spectacle even though the King looked at the big screen in front of them very seriously.

Although trying not to care about the presence of the King, but his eyes could not not not glance at his superiors every few seconds.

"Children must be excited if you know how to watch cartoons." Adit taunted the King as soon as they came out of the cinema.

"Originally your mouth doesn't leak. They're not gonna fuck up."

"Sir King sure you want to come with us?"

"Why not?"

"But we're going to the play area."

Instead of giving up and going home when you hear the next goal. The king pressed his shoulders and put his hand in his pocket. Passing ahead of him following Adit and Citra who have already played.

***

I don't know what the King thinks to be able to follow Adit and Rani streets in the mall. He himself is confused why his legs are light once stepped into places he does not like. Even the first time he was tracking.

And what makes him most upset is Adit and Rani who do not consider his existence there. Both are busy playing alone with Citra. Laughing together as if he didn't exist.

"Sister Adit doesn't like egg yolks?"

The king lifted his gaze from the bowl of ramen which he did not eat at all towards Rani and Adit alternately.

"Yes. I prefer the white."

"Waaah.. Then the reverse. Tukeran aja. I don't like the white."

The two of them cheerfully exchanged the part of the egg that both of them did not like. It still goes on to ask what you don't like and like with an occasional laugh.

"Wahh if this is the case, we will not fuss if we eat outside the brother. Not gonna fight."

"That's really. We can trade with each other."

Tired of it all, the King chose to go home.

"I'll go home first. Please Interra Rani, Dit." he said flat by putting a cell phone into the pocket of a suit.

"Lho, your King hasn't eaten yet?"

"I'm not hungry yet." passed by leaving those who were still staring at him in wonder.

In the car he took his cell phone back to contact Rere. He had to wait a while for his call to be lifted.

"Yes, Ja. Sory just got through the meeting."

"Yes, it's been busy. Tomorrow again"

"Eh, no really. I'm free. Just run around I otw apart now." the woman interrupted him as if she had not lost the opportunity.

Not much thought, the King drove his car to the apartment Rere was in. Luxury apartment in the center of the capital.

The original goal was just bored seeing the closeness of Adit and Rani that felt suddenly.

But now he has another purpose by coming there.
