A Prince's Love

Alena had just finished breakfast and was getting ready to take a shower when she heard the doorbell in her apartment. Alena opened the door to her apartment and saw Cynthia's face on the screen. Alena is very happy. She misses her best friend. Alena hurry to open the apartment door.

As soon as Alena opened the door, She could see that Cynthia was standing with a frown on her face. Alena glanced behind Cynthia. It seemed that Ali and Fuad were watching Cynthia silently. They know Cynthia as Alena's friend so they let Cynthia knock on Alena's door. Alena gave a signal that she was okay so Ali and Fuad relaxed their bodies.

"Cynthia....  I am very happy to meet you" Alena kissed Cynthia on both cheeks and hugged Cyntia tightly. Cynthia didn't like Alena's hug. Instead, she pushed Alena's body away from her

"What kind of friend are you? Leaving me scared and worried about your condition. Why don't you ever call me? And why are you also difficult to contact? Almost every day I call David, the keeper of your apartment to ask whether you in your room or not. This morning when I called him. He said that you came. I came straight here. "

Cynthia spoke sharp and fast. Hands-on her hips. But then her mouth stopped chattering when her eyes looked at the dining table on which was a large, full breakfast.

As if hypnotized, Cynthia approached the table. Then She looked at the food as if analyzing the amount and type then looked at Alena with an astonished look.

"Don't tell me you cooked this breakfast. Toast that looks fresh, sausages that look delicious, cheese, eggs ... enough food portions for three or four people. Since when have you become greedy.

Don't you say too Mrs. Nancy made breakfast because Mrs. Nancy at this hour is definitely not here? And You never prepare your own food, you cannot cook even if you only bake bread.

That means there is someone who is with you, who is he? "Cynthia immediately watched Alena's apartment. Her head turned left and right looking for someone, she thought was with Alena. But she could not guess who it was.

Alena shrugged as she realized that her smart, analytical friend Cynthia was starting to smell something wrong. But Cynthia could not find the person because the person was lying on Alena's bed.

Because Cynthia could not find what she was looking for, she asked again.

"Alena... You have to explain everything. How were you in your country? Did you get married? How about Nizam?" Cynthia sat on the sofa and looked at Alena demanding an explanation.

"I'm going to take a shower first. You just wait here. If you want to eat breakfast. But don't finish it. I'll tell you later."

"No ... I ate earlier, but okay... You take a shower first so that later we can go straight to campus. Doesn't learning start at 10.00 now it's only at 08. 30."

Cynthia leaned back against the sofa. She felt relaxed seeing Alena fine. From yesterday she was very worried about her friend's condition, especially when Alena called her, crying because she was going to be an arranged marriage. But her worries vanished seeing Alena's face beaming.

While sitting relaxed feeling relieved and happy, suddenly behind her was a voice.

"Hello, Cynthia. How are you?" It was a male voice, echoing that shook Cynthia's heart. Slowly, as if hearing the ghost voice of Cynthia slowly turning her neck back. Cynthia's eyes widened wide, her mouth was open so that she could almost see the larynx, her stiff body froze at the unexpected figure of the body.

In Cynthia's eyes, the figure was like a ghost that appeared during the day. The tall, big body with brown hair just shrugged his shoulders and smiled faintly. As if nothing out of the ordinary. The man walked straight to the dining table to take a glass then fill it with water and drink it.

"Have you had breakfast? Want to accompany me to breakfast or just keep looking at me with your mouth open?"

How could her voice be so calm as if she didn't feel guilty when her presence had caused such a feeling of shock to Cynthia.

Nizam, who had given Cynthia a great shock, seemed not to care about Cynthia. With great calm, he took his sandwich and started eating it after putting a sausage in it. Chewing it slowly, so gracefully, and elegantly. Cynthia had only recently seen how to eat like that.

"You ... you" Cynthia could not continue her words. She then grabbed the glass that was in front of her regardless of whose glass, the important thing was that the contents could wet her dry throat so that she had difficulty speaking even words.

Cynthia first adjusted her beating heart that was jumping up and down as if she was about to get out of place. After wetting her throat she felt a little calm. Cynthia opened her mouth again.

"Why are you here? This early? Am I dreaming?" Cynthia said while slapping her own cheek. Cynthia wanted to wake up from this crazy dream. How can Nizam, who keeps his distance from women so much, is even in the women's room.

"Did you sleep together? Did you sleep with Alena? How sinful you are" asked Cynthia unconsciously.

"Hmmm .." Nizam just mumbled

"Answer my question Nizam! Don't make me die of shock."

"So what if I sleep together with her? Do you mind?"

"No ... no-no. Of course, I don't mind. That's your business. But it's sinful according to your beliefs. And what if Alena is pregnant?" Cynthia still stuttered

"Of course you don't have to worry that your best friend is pregnant. Didn't you tell her that I was impotent?" Nizam said again without looking at Cynthia. His mouth continues to chew his food.

Cynthia immediately coughed with a flushed face with embarrassment.

"I ... I'm sorry"

"You don't need to be sorry. Because actually I really thank you. For the efforts, you've done to successfully deliver Alena to my side"

Cynthia gasped at Nizam's words. "Did Alena tell you everything?" Cynthia asked carefully.

"Do you think your innocent friend would dare to tell me everything? Ever since she almost hit my body in the library. I was already suspecting she was following me.

An Alena-type girl who almost never holds a book except in class is very impossible to suddenly be in the library. Then when we met at a Middle Eastern restaurant where I used to eat, I was pretty sure she was really following me to get my attention."

"Why do you accuse me of me arranging the strategy? Why don't you think Alena arranged it herself." Cynthia heard an analysis from Nizam who clearly emphasized on all her nerves that the male brain in front of her is not the brain that most people have.

"Alena ?? After we talked and met intensely for almost a month. I realized what she was like. And of course you also clearly know your friend's condition. It is very unlikely that she could manipulate herself to think of a strategy that is quite complicated. She is too innocent. "

Cynthia shook her head. It took her a year to learn the character of her friend but it turned out that Nizam only took a month to find out all of Alena's traits. Cynthia took a deep breath.

"I want to talk about things with you but not in front of Alena."

About what?" Cynthia's eyes fixed Nizam sharply. She still couldn't believe that what was in front of him was a frozen man who rarely spoke to women unless he was arguing in class.

"This afternoon at Sunshine Cafe. Block 31 at 4 sharp. I'll wait there" Nizam said quickly to Cynthia.

Cynthia saw Nizam's face, which was so serious that she became curious about what happened. Cynthia wanted to ask again but suddenly Alena appeared.

"Wow .. you guys seem to have talked a lot. Must be talking about me" Alena hugged Nizam from behind. Cynthia glared at Alena's demonstrative behavior. The one who was hugged actually got up and said.

"Hurry up and give her an explanation Alena. I can't stand to see her face in shock." Nizam said as he walked toward the bathroom.

"Kiss my cheek first" Alena patted her cheek with her index finger. Nizam knows that Alena asked him to kiss her cheek so that Alena can show the achievements of her friend's success because she had succeeded in helping Alena get it. Even though Nizam is not the type to show off his affection, for once he doesn't want to disappoint his wife's intentions. Nizam then kissed Alena on the cheek

Cynthia looked at Nizam who kissed Alena on the cheek.

"Alena .. pinch me hard, so that I can believe that I'm in the real world and not in the dream world," Cynthia said to Alena. Alena laughed amused seeing it.
