One and Only
140 - The Tradition of Applying.

Yura and Arvan still seemed awkward even though they were sitting and eating together.

"Yura, when you say you miss wandering, are you serious? I mean, are you gonna go wandering like you used to?" ask Arvan

"Okay, I'm confused too. I feel like my life has gotten so much easier lately that I miss the moment of wandering that is full of obstacles. What's more, I also feel my soul as if it rose after getting pushed because of the previous war, so I miss the moment of passing through obstacles like when wandering first," explained Yura

"However, it is impossible to leave my family again even when now all have gathered after the end of the war. Many people are easily dissatisfied when they have been given an easy and happy life, and I am also included in that group .".

"I don't deserve to say this, but if I ask you not to go, will you fulfill my request?" ask Arvan

"Without you asking me to be confused. You should have told His Majesty your request for your achievements and contributions in the war" Yura replied

"In that case, I will ask that His Majesty give you some kind of duty to continue holding you here. Will the King grant my request? And would you also accept if His Majesty gave such an order?" ask Arvan

"Basic, childish. In that case, I will ask His Majesty to assign you with me. So that you also feel the difficulty," replied Yura

"I don't have a problem with that. As long as I can continue to be with you, I feel happy . " said Arvan.

"By the way, you said there was something you wanted to tell me after the war ended. What'sthat?" asked Yura who was trying to shift the subject.

"There's something I want to tell you, but I told you 3 years ago. It's a long time ago, don't you remember it or have you forgotten it?" ask Arvan with a sad face.

Trying to divert the topic, Yura actually asked what she did not want to discuss. What's more, Yura also asked the wrong thing to make Arvan feel sad because she thought she had forgotten and did not even remember the important thing.

"You're right, sorry. I mean, there's something you want to give me, too, right?" ask Yura again.

"His tune, you remember it even you seem to be looking forward to it. " said Arvan who again developed a smile.

"You told me to wait and wait" Yura said

Arvan reached into his pocket to pick up something. As Arvan took his hand out of his pocket, the man's hand immediately turned to the back of Yura's head and slipped something on some of the hair rolled by the girl.

"What did you just put in my hair?" yura asked as she put her hands behind her head aka her hair.

"It seems you don't remember it. That's why I made up for thinking you'd forget. It turns out I didn't make the wrong decision" Arvan said

"Isn't this the hairpick I've been mortgaging? I totally forgot, but you made it up at the pawnshop for me? I'll replace the money you used to make up for it. Tell me, how much money did you spend on this hairpick?" ask Yura

"No need, I did deliberately make it up to you ." replied Arvan.

"Don't be like that. If you don't want to take the change from me it means that this hair pin is yours and no longer mine," Yura said as she pulled back the hairpick to release it.

"Then let's just say I gave it to you. Didn't you ask what I wanted to give you? So, just accept it. Don't let go or give it back to me. Then, there is another one I want to give you .. " said Arvan.

"What else is that?" yura asked who relented and undoed her intention to take off and return the hairpin on Arvan.

Again Arvan reached into another pocket on his clothes with one hand to grab something. With one other hand, Arvan grabs Yura's hand and immediately pairs something she took from her clothing pocket in the smooth hand of the girl she loves.

"Bracelet with bead of gems," murmured Yura saw something that was paired by Arvan on her wrist.

"Receive this as well and I hope you like it" Arvan said as she pulled Yura's hand and kissed her gently.

It is known that a man who gives and pairs hair ornaments on a woman signifies it as an act of proposing lovers for tradition in the Western Tribal Region. Then, if a man gives and pairs a bracelet on a woman's hand is marked as the act of applying for a lover for tradition in the entire State Territory of the Kingdom of Chuya.

Yura knew about it. However, the girl still felt doubtful about the meaning of Arvan's actions to her. More precisely Yura did not want to be too quick to feel happy with her pre-exception which was not necessarily true.

"You must also know about the meaning of my actions in accordance with the existing tradition and your guess is true. I'm proposing to you. I hope you want to have a more serious relationship with me" Arvan said

"really shocking. Why didn't you propose to me when my parents were there?" ask Yura

"I thought you'd be embarrassed if I did it in front of a crowd, so I didn't do it that way" replied Arvan

"Is this not your reason?" ask Yura

"Of course, no. I don't want you to be the only serial, but of course I'm serious about this. If you really want to be like that, I can do it for you. Come on, let's go back inside the hall . " replied Arvan.

"no need. I don't want you to do it in front of other people, but in front of my parents so you can ask for their blessing, both of them" Yura said

"Can I assume you agreed to have a more serious relationship with me?" ask Arvan

"Just take it that way," Yura replied

"just that? Then, how do you feel about me?" ask Arvan

"I've told you before that I feel comfortable and happy when I'm with you. That's all I know and feel because I don't understand anything else. That's why I chose to accept it," Yura replied

"When you ask for a free time off from all work for His Majesty, will you return to the residence of your parents?" ask Arvan

"I do have such a plan, but why are you asking this?" ask back Yura

"When you want to go home, take me with you. I will propose to you in front of your parents at that time and ask permission and blessing from both of them to marry you" replied Arvan

"Are you really serious?" ask Yura

"Of course, so don't assume I'm kidding ." replied Arvan.

This time Yura smiled happily when she heard him. Arvan was also happy.

"Don't be happy first or consider this easy. I'll tell mom and dad that you liked Yuna's sister before" Yura said

"I don't think you're gonna talk about it anymore. Although it sounds like being in denial, but it is really a feeling due to misunderstanding. However, no matter how difficult the obstacle or challenge, I will definitely pass it for your sake and to be able to continue to be with you" said Arvan

"At any time you feel shaky in the middle of the road, you will definitely not be able to escape the Haris family. You have to remember that" Yura said

"I don't feel worried because I'm pretty sure I'll never feel shaky even after marrying you. You can hold and remember my words because this is my promise to you. A true man will never break a promise" Arvan said

"You are a real man or not, let's see it later ." Yura said.

Yura and Arvan continued chatting there without anyone else bothering. Until the two of them were unaware of having been chatting for a very long time until the party of the night had ended. The two rarely laughed together. Either no one knows or indeed everyone does not want to disturb the two people.
