The Amazing Process For Marrying You

Rere tried to escape, but Prince Ahmed's bodyguard stopped her. She bit his hand and kicked the guard in the groin.

"Where are you going?" Prince Ahmed put his hand on his hips.

Rere was shaking and shivering. She couldn't hold herself back anymore when the man called her 'Ananya'. She didn't want to be the man's tool to vent his frustration. The man still has a grudge against Dino, which meant Prince Ahmed had planned something bad for her. Rere's mind screamed, hoping someone can help her escape from that place. The possibility is definitely there even if it's small. Rere usually yields, but she is optimistic now. She still has some hope.

Rere couldn't go down the stairs because Prince Ahmed's bodyguards were there. She hid behind a pile of unused items that were deliberately placed there. There was a special room for the storage of goods on the rooftop. She hid there even though the chances of being found were big.

"Where are you going, Rere?" Prince Ahmed laughed earnestly.

"You won't be able to leave. You and Ananya have a lot in common. Be a good girl and be my wife, Rere. Leave Dino. I will love your child as my own child," Prince Ahmed said sweetly but it sounded like a curse in Rere's ears.

"Find her!" Prince Ahmed ordered his guards.

Two men dressed in black walked around the rooftop looking for Rere. They smiled happily at Rere's back. They grabbed Rere and took her to Prince Ahmed.

"Let me go!" Rere rebelled.

"Where are you going, honey?" Prince Ahmed tried to touch Rere, but Rere pushed his hand away.

Rere refused Prince Ahmed's touch. Her chest rumbled with anger. Why was he so crazy and ambitious?

"Don't be so fierce, dear. Why are you so fierce? I like a tender woman, not a grumpy one like you."

"I don't want you to touch me."

Prince Ahmed put his arm around Rere and took her to see the stars in the sky. The sky is very clear making them get a clear view of the star. Prince Ahmed grabbed Rere from behind and pushed her. He only threatened her, not pushed her down. The man pressed Rere's neck so the woman looked down at the height. Rere shuddered.

Rere's heart seemed to stop beating when she looked down. This palace is very high. If prince Ahmed throws her from here, she will definitely die.

"You see below there?" Prince Ahmed spoke loudly.

The night wind pierced Rere's skin. The woman was helpless. She cried and hoped that help would come soon.

"Save me, Dino. If this is really the end of my life, at least I want to see your face before I close my eyes," Rere whispered inside her heart.

"Beg me not to kill you."

Rere didn't move to heed Prince Ahmed's words. Besides her tears, there is no answer to the man's question. She hoped this was just a dream, not a reality!

"Answer me! Begging me to let you go!" Prince Ahmed grabbed Rere's hair. "Don't make me angry!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me," Rere said at last. She saw the helicopter from afar. She was sure the helicopter came to save her. Rere racked her brains to buy some time.

"Very nice," Prince Ahmed let go of his grip on Rere's hair and dragged Rere to sit on the chair where they had eaten.

Prince Ahmed helped Rere sit down and put a napkin around her neck. The man even fed Rere a Wagyu A5 steak. Although her throat was bitter, Rere tried to swallow the food. She still has some hope. Someone will save her.

"Why are you stubborn? There is no need to resort to violence if you just listen to me."

"I'm sorry," Rere softly answered expressionlessly.

"Pretty sweet. You are cuter than Ananya."

"Your Highness. What is your definition of love?"

"What kind of question is this?" Prince Ahmed laughed.

"Just answer me. If your answer satisfies me then I will leave Dino and stay by your side."

"Really? Are you serious?" Prince Ahmed looked Rere in the eye, trying to find the sincerity there. Rere's expression was flat. Her attitude was unreadable. Prince Ahmed could not guess whether Rere was faking or being sincere.

"Just answer me."

"To me, love is the overflow of emotions and feelings of desire for someone. The feeling of wanting to be with and protect some."

"What do you feel when you fall in love?"

"Happy and flowery. Like the sky in the afternoon, blue as my blue heart. Waiting for the news I'm waiting for, hugs and kisses are just for you." Prince Ahmed sings. Rere's question made him laugh because it was funny.

"Do you love your wife or concubine? There are many women around you, why did you fall in love with Ananya?"

"Love grows unnoticed, unsolicited. Love comes without permission, knows no time, and doesn't know people."

"Why not fall in love with one of His Majesty's concubines?"

"How can I fall in love? Love can not be forced. I tried, but couldn't love any of them."

"That's how Ananya feels too."

Prince Ahmed was stunned and speechless. His eyes flickered disapprovingly.

"His Highness loves Ananya, but she doesn't love you. As you said earlier. Love can not be forced."

"Did you trick me with that question?"

"I didn't. Just hear me, after this, it's up to you what you want to do to me, I've given up if I die in your hands."

"What do you want to say?"

"Love can not be forced. Ananya doesn't want to hurt you by pretending to love you. That's why she told you honestly that she loves someone else," Rere stopped talking then saw Prince Ahmed's reaction.

"Forced love will only hurt you in the end. When we just pretend to love someone, it's not that person who is lying. We are actually lying to ourselves too. Imposing love and feelings can in fact make us suffer. Not only that, we will not feel happy. Pretending in a bond will cause discomfort in a relationship. Sincerity comes from honesty. True love comes from honest feelings. If you just pretended and forced yourself all this time, sincerity in love is difficult to create. In the end, we are just tired of being alone and feel burdened to maintain a relationship. We cannot pretend forever. How long are you going to keep pretending? Pretending is really tiring. Maybe we can survive for a while, but we can't forever be a different person every time we force ourselves to love someone. Pretending to love or pretending not to love someone can be just as difficult as it is. Achieving happiness together is also difficult. If everything starts with pretense, achieving and creating happiness together will be difficult. It will be fortunate if the pretense can eventually change and create real love and feelings. It's just that if you try, but all you feel is pain and torment, then nothing will ever be fine. Forced love is hard to end okay. Because Ananya doesn't want to hurt you so she is honest with her feelings." Rere emphasized.

"Don't talk too much, Rere."

"You don't love Ananya. It's not loving but an ambition. You are used to getting everything that you want easily. You have always been very lucky because you are the heir to the throne, someone who will later inherit the kingdom. You feel challenged when Ananya rejects your love and chooses Dino."

"Shut up!" Prince Ahmed is angry. The man pulled the table mat, scattering the food on the floor.

Rere was shocked to see Prince Ahmed's outburst.

"I will not shut my mouth anymore." Rere turned around. She saw the helicopter getting closer as the smile slipped from her lips.

"Your Highness. One thing…" Rere shook her head. "No need to try hard to get love because it's useless to try if the person you love does not have the same feeling. Good love is only for those who have feelings for each other, not only one of them is trying and struggling. No need to force someone's heart because love can never be forced. If Ananya doesn't love you or she ignores you then there is no need to try and fight for it. Just believe that love will always find a way for you, so there's no need to try hard and fight by yourself just to get the love you want."

"Don't talk anymore." Prince Ahmed is frustrated. The man covered his ears.

"I won't stop. Open your mind! We do not need to force love because the heart will always find who deserves to love. You will never be happy if you force love. It's useless to fight if the person you love doesn't have the same feelings. In the end, you will be hurt and disappointed. It's better not to hope. Just be a better version of yourself so that one day you deserve the love you get. Rere spoke loudly. Prince Ahmed did not move. He was shocked to hear Rere's words. Slowly, gently, right in his heart.
