Two Princes One Love
Again and Again

An hour later...

I just finished dinner with Zu. Slightly able to breathe a sigh of relief because it can eat rice, yes although it must be used as porridge first. Understandably, I am a native of Indonesia, have been accustomed to eating rice since childhood. So it feels like if you have not eaten rice, my stomach is still rumbling. Fortunately, there is in this world. Try it otherwise, I should definitely bring the rice sacks from my world.

"Huh, it's full."

I sat on the porch of my room sipping a cup of native green tea from the Asian kingdom. Tonight my mood improved a little bit compared to yesterday. I try to use my logic to move on. It is not good to be drawn into grief. Yes, I'm trying to accept the fate that was written for me. I have to keep moving forward.

I stared around the pampered scene in front of me. I feel better if I accept His will. Maybe there will be a more interesting story for me. No one knows, right? It's also free if I try to reject fate. Who am I? Only a creature is powerless without His help.

"Miss, are you here?"

Zu came without knocking on the door first, or indeed I just did not hear it because it was too cool to enjoy the waves at night.

"Prince, aren't you rushing to sleep?" tanyaku.

"I haven't been able to sleep at this hour, it's still too late in the afternoon" he said.

"Huh, really?"

I tried to see the clock on the wall of my room. And it turns out the clock has shown at eight in the evening. Zu suddenly laughed at this attitude of mine, he then stood behind me.

"You're a girl full of curiosity, miss."

He spoke right behind me, so I could feel his breath warm. Our distance is too close.

Prince, please step back a little from me.

Spontaneous my body reacted from being too close to him. And I don't know why my body is so stiff, it can't be moved. This incident really reminds me of when I was in a hot pool first. God, I remember those memories again.

That time...

Ara leaned her head on the edge of the pool. Inhaling deeply the aromatherapy of the jasmine flowers provided while looking at the evening sky that is so charming. Suddenly he missed his family in the village.

"What are they doing there?"

Ara misses her sisters. Especially her younger sister who is still a child. A sense of loneliness began to envelop his heart. Suddenly, her tears ran out.

"You can be sad too."

Someone's voice resuscitated it. He immediately looked at the origin of the sound. Rain was speaking. Rain in front of Ara.

"Rain?!"

"Hi, Miss. Can I soak in the bath with you?"

Rain immediately entered the hot pool without waiting for a response from the girl, yes or no. The sad feeling of the girl suddenly turned into annoyance due to her arrival.

"I noticed today that you're so busy like you're not giving me any reproach" Rain said.

"Damn, what do you mean?"

Ara becomes uncomfortable with the arrival of Rain. He soon got up, wanting to leave before the crown prince.

"Miss!"

Rain held Ara's left hand, restraining the girl's departure. I don't know why there was such a strange tremor when Rain held his hand.

"I want you to accompany me. Don't go ...."

A plea sentence sounded this time. It wasn't like an order or a threat Ara used to hear from Rain.

Rain turned his body. He stood behind Ara. His breath felt up to the nape of the neck of the girl. Ara's body's response was so quick as Rain began to get closer to her. Ara's body was trembling.

"I want to know you better, Miss."

Rain's fingers began to creep from the palm of the hand towards Ara's upper arm. The girl's body was really made goosebumps by the prince. Ara was worried if this was just a trap. Rain had already upset her several times.

Nah! This can't happen!

Soon Ara turned to face Rain without warning. Rain was shocked by the girl's rapid movements. Ara then pushed Rain with all her might until the crown prince fell into a hot pool of water.

It's time to escape!

He immediately came out of the hot pool, avoiding Rain. Keep running out while picking up her dress quickly and wearing it on the street. No longer care if anyone sees his actions. He continued to run towards his private room, along with the fear and curiosity that was increasingly hunting. I felt like I was chasing something.

...

That feeling is now coming up again. Whether intentionally or not Zu did it, he seemed to want to rest his head on my right shoulder.

"Miss?" He then rebuked me.

"Prince Zu, can you back off a little?" I'm starting to feel weird.

Zu seemed to understand what I was feeling. I saw from the reflection of the glass window, he smiled and immediately retreated his footsteps backwards. I looked at him and saw him laughing.

"Prince?" I was embarrassed but also wanted to know why he was so.

"Miss, you know what?"

I shook my head.

"You're so funny. Somehow I explained it, yeah." Zu was like a confusion himself.

"Prince, sorry. I can't get too close. No offense, yes," I said again.

He then approached me again, and now the distance we spoke was only about a meter. He then lowered his body in front of me while continuing to look at my face.

In-he wants to kiss me?!

I was wide-eyed when I saw his hand reaching my face. I'm worried if anything happens to us. I immediately turned my back, behind him.

"Miss?" He seemed surprised by my attitude.

Well, why do I have to be like this, huh? I asked myself in my heart.

"Well, I won't come any closer. You rest now. Tomorrow we'll swim at the beach. See you later."

He left me immediately. Walking past me just like that who was still silent and fixated. It felt like there was a desire to hold back his departure. But I am still ashamed to do so. I don't want him to misunderstand me.

Alright. Maybe I should just rest.

I immediately set foot into the room and began to close my bedroom window.

"May tomorrow be better."

I closed the night with prayer and started laying on the bed. I remember what happened last night at dinner with him.

"Miss, the ketchup gets to your cheek."

Zu wiped the ketchup on Ara's cheek with a piece of tissue he took. Instantly Ara felt that something was going on in her heart. Zu showed his attention to the girl.

"Slowly eat it, yeah." Zu then poured drinking water for Ara.

The treatment that Zu gave, was able to make Ara feel privileged. He felt that Zu had started to love him. Regardless of what happened, Ara tried to stir up her fighting spirit and did not want to be dissolved for long in grief.
