Two Princes One Love
Confused

Two hours later...

Now I've been sitting on the porch, intending to dry my still wet hair because I just took a shower. For some reason, an idea crossed my mind. I want to understand how to play the sword. But this time it's a real sword, not wood.

I then walked up to the two guards who were on guard not far from my room. I asked them to teach me how to play with the sword.

"But, Non. We're afraid—"

"It's okay. I asked for it myself. Tonight I'm free anyway. It's a pity if time is thrown away without benefit."

I tried to convince both palace guards to teach me how to play the sword. As a result, they were willing to teach me.

I slowly watched the two as I exemplified how to fight using the sword. I tried it too. Gradually, I got used to holding a sword. At first it felt heavy. But with earnestness in heart, this sword can fuse with me so that it feels lighter.

I asked these two guards to teach me how to play the sword every night. In return, I will make a kebaya for their wives. They also welcomed this reward with joy. I am so happy to see the happiness that is implied from the faces of both.

A few hours later...

The night is getting late. I lay down my body on the bed and started to remember the events I had with Cloud.

I still remember what Cloud did to me. I feel like my body is so excited to meet tomorrow.

"She's starting to dare to kiss the corner of my lips."

I smiled to myself as I recalled the incident inside the horse carriage. It feels so happy. I want this happiness to remain eternal with me.

"If I had moved my head, maybe this first kiss would have happened between us."

I really feel lucky. I tightly hugged the bolster pillow on my left side. I imagine if it was Cloud.

"I'll teach you to play the violin. Not tonight, yeah. I have to prepare the materials to meet the officials from the east of the country. We'll have a meeting tomorrow morning."

I rang with Cloud's words after kissing me earlier. Cloud is very busy. So that when he had free time, he wanted me to accompany him and not reject his invitation.

"Cloud ... my prince."

Shown his beautiful face. His sweet smile, his little laugh. Everything that was on him came back to my mind. Maybe this is called falling in love. I always wanted to be with him in joy and sorrow.

"Every day I struggle with a lot of paper that I have to read. However, I feel those words are you, Ara."

Again, I recalled his words along the way back to the palace.

"Your love I need. I'll wait for an answer to my declaration of love yesterday."

"I haven't answered it yet."

I became agitated myself. Now I'm between two hearts, Rain and Cloud. These two princes took me on a journey of love I never imagined. I was confused by it myself. Who should I choose?

"Cloud doesn't want to budge on Rain."

I felt that since Rain dared to take me on the road, Cloud had more time for me. He did not want to give up on his sister.

"Huh, I'd better get some sleep."

I tried to close both eyes. I took a slow breath and then I took a slow breath. I repeated it a few times until my entire body felt comfortable. Slowly, I fell asleep too. Then start living my dream destination.

Her morning...

"I'm bad luck!"

I was surprised when Mbok Asri came and woke me up.

"Jeez, Mbok!"

I'll be self-improving soon. I ran to take a shower. I cleaned up my body that looked like this moulette.

"Miss, take the shower slowly. The water will go into the ears."

I heard Mbok Asri warned me. I kept taking a shower and didn't care. After that, immediately put on my kebayaku. Today I used my light purple kebayaku with a combination of batik skirt split on the left side.

"I helped to deny it, Nope."

When I finished, I immediately dressed up minimalist with a soft pink lipstick. I am ready to go today too.

"Mbok, my perfume is running out."

I feel my perfume bottle is very light. I then asked Mbok Asri to get perfume from the palace beauty house.

"Alright, Non. I'll be right back."

"Thank you, Mbok. I'm waiting at the palace gazebo, yeah."

Mbok nodded, we split up. I walked alone to the gazebo of the palace with a sheet of paper designed by my clothes. But when I turned, Rain seemed to be walking in the opposite direction to me. This time he was alone.

Rain ....

I feel dejavu with this situation. Like the first time we met in the park. I tried to smile at him too.

"Greetings to Prince Rain."

I leaned my body towards him with a smile. Rain paused for a moment before he stepped again. I feel if he wants to return my greeting. But as it turned out, he just kept quiet and then passed away. Without words, without saying goodbye.

My Heart ....

It was such a pain to get such treatment from him. I wanted to hold it in, yet somehow it seemed as if there was no strength to do so. I fell silent and turned my eyes back to the front. I turned away from him and started walking down the path to the palace gazebo.

...

Before long, Mbok Asri came. Right after I finished my five plans.

There are ten more.

"Miss, this is the perfume."

Mbok Asri then handed me a bottle of my favorite perfume. The sweet chocolate aroma is so thick.

"So I saw Prince Rain cross paths with you, Miss."

Mbok Asri suddenly opened up his conversation about Rain. I stopped my activities for a moment. I closed the sheets of my clothes draft paper and then I clamped them so as not to splatter.

"Mbok, actually I ...."

"Miss, I know this is very difficult for you."

Like thunder on a clear morning. The words from Mbok Asri jolted me. It was as if he knew what was going on between me and Rain.

"Bok, what should I do?" I asked, trying to ask her advice.

"I'm sorry about before, Non. This is none of my business. I also feel unworthy to interfere in this matter. However, as a person who has been working in this palace for a long time and as Miss Ara's companion, it seems like I should come help."

"Say, Mbok. I'm waiting for him."

"Non, I see Prince Rain loves you so much. Throughout my time working in this palace, it was only the first time I heard Prince Rain go alone with a woman and without an escort. Whispers are heard if you have established a special relationship."

I'm speechless. I think about the words of Mbok Asri carefully. I feel if Mbok Asri is not on anyone's side. Both Rain and Cloud.

"But as we know, Miss is the spouse of Prince Cloud. For never has Prince Cloud brought a woman from outside the palace other than Miss here."

Gee whiz... What have I done? Why is everything so complicated like this?

I speak in my heart. I think I made a big mistake. I need to get this thing resolved soon. I don't want any negative views on me and the two princes of this kingdom.

"Miss, forgive me."

Mbok Asri apologized to me. I'm not feeling good about myself.

"It's okay, Mum. I'm doing fine. Looks like I'll have to meet Rain for this misunderstanding to end."

I then asked Mbok Asri to accompany me for a moment to make a kebaya plan. Then I asked him to keep my plan.

I'm going to see Rain. I want to resolve the misunderstanding that is going on between us. It is not good to let problems dissolve for a long time.
