"If you're my fated person, then why did it take me so long to see you? Why do I have to keep waiting for you? You never know Nara, you never know how lonely I've been all this time."
There was no answer. Although.... Nara was always by her side at that time. Looking at her with sad face.
The next morning, at 07.30. Putri still hasn't wake up from her sleep. Kirana, who was about to leave for work, walked into her room.
"HEY! WAKE UP! SEE WHAT TIME IS IT! WAKE UP!" say Kirana.
She flinched when she saw Putri seemed shivering at that time, wrapped herself in a blanket with her pale face.
Kirana feel worried about her. She immediately approached Putri and sat beside her.
"What's wrong, Putri? Are you okay? Look its really hot. Its looks like i can also pop egg on your forehead." Kirana said while checking the temperature on Putri's forehead.
"You have a fever, maybe because you are tired. Plus you fell into the abyss, right?" Kira said.
Putri just shivered at that time, half conscious. Didn't answer anything. Kirana look worried about her, she immediately called her mother to come to the room.
"Mom, I think Putri is sick. Come here for a moment." she said. Ratih appeared and approach them.
"Are you sick, Putri?" asked Ratih immediately checking the temperature on her forehead.
"Oh god, you have to go to the doctor, your forehead is very hot." said Ratih.
Putri answered it half consciously.
"No, ma'am, you don't have to worry anymore. I will be fine tomorrow." said Putri intending to get up for work. But it staggers. Kirana and Ratih refuse.
"Where are you going?! You don't have to work! Are you intend to faint on the road?" argue Kirana.
"Its true, Putri. You mustn't go to work now. Later you can ask permission or leave with your friends. Now you should've rest okay?" said Ratih, accompanying Putri back to the bed. Cover her with a blanket.
Kirana immediately leave for work, leaving Putri sleep. Say goodbye to Ratih.
Unlike with Ratih, who afterward was busy making porridge and then put cloth on Putri's forehead.
Putri still half conscious at that time. she vaguely saw her mother compress with cold water for cooling down the fever, but suddenly her mother turned into Nara.
In fact she was hallucinating. Putri held Ratih's hand at that time. Then said. "Nara... Nara... You're Nara right?" asked Putri.
Ratih feels strange. "Nara who? Are you daydream, Putri? This is mother, not Nara. Could it be that Nara is your boyfriend?" ask Ratih, although Putri still kept mentioning Nara's name repeatedly, Ratih was just silent at that time.
She understands if her daughter is hallucinating, because of the temperature is too high.
Five hours later. Putri opened her eyes, after spending her time sleeping half a day in her bed.
Putri immediately removed the compress cloth on her forehead and put it on the table. She woke up at that moment, sitting on the bed. She checked the temperature on her forehead.
The heat is cooling down a bit. Thankfully, she doesn't have to go to the doctor anymore now. As expected, she must have just caught a cold earlier.
"Thank goodness you're okay." said Nara. Putri was immediately shocked absurdly when she saw Nara suddenly beside her.
"HWA!" shouted Putri immediately pulled back the blanket and curled up on her bed. Nara was also surprised, he thought that Putri still couldn't see him. But just now?
"Y-you can see me, Putri?" asked Nara disbelief. He even quite happy with it.
Putri immediately woke up.
Could it be... Nara?!
Putri as soon as possible opened the blanket and got up. He tried to make sure. "Y-you are Nara? The one who helped me at Surya Kencana at that time?" asked the Putri.
"Yes, that's right Putri. That's me." Nara smiling. Putri for some reason felt awkward at that time, she became nervous and tended to turn her face in another direction. Smile to herself.
"What in your suggestion all this time, including hearing my voices. It is the truth, not your illusion. And what happened to you in the Djin kingdom at that time was true. Not a dream." said Nara.
Putri understood what he meant. "Oh I see." She doesn't know, she is so happy. The dream, The figure that had been in his mind and hee dreams turned out to be... Real!
"But why is it only now that I can see you?" asked the Putri surprised.
"That's because we have a contract. The prism mark on your forehead. It's the mark of our contract." said Nara.
"Contract? What do you mean?" asked Putri more curious.
"When a jinn like me wants to marry someone, I have to make a contract first." said Nora.
"M-married?" asked Putri, don't know she is juat so happy.
"Yes, I intend to marry you." said Nara.
"But can it be? We have a lot of differences, is this not against nature?" asked Putri.
"There will be a lot of struggle. But I'm sure we can both get through it." said Nara. Putri is silent for a moment.
"How to get through it?" asked Putri.
"I'll tell you later."
"But this is a little absurd. I've never heard of humans and people like you marrying.
I mean... Is that really possible? Like what happened to the Surya kencana prince?" asked Putri confuse.
Nara nod. "Yeah, you're right. But there's one way I can do it later. And I need your help to make me to be fully human." said Nora.
Daughter gasped. "Y-you became a human? What do you mean? Is it possible?" asked Putri.
"Yes, later. At that time I was really ready. I will do it. But for now, let's just live with the relationship between a couple." said Nara.
Putri was silent for a moment then said. "Y-yes."
"But can a half-jinn like you be seen by anyone other than me?" asked Putri.
"Only certain people who under contract with me, can see me." said Nora.
"Oh I see."
"Why? Do you not accept if I can't be seen by your friends or family?" asked Nara.
"N-no, it's okay. It's not hehe." said the Princess as she turned her face the other way.
Suddenly Putri remembered Nara's words at that time.
"Oh yeah, two days ago you said that I'm your soulmate, what do you mean? Is it possible that we were destined from a long time ago or what?" asked the Princess curiously.
Nara smiled. "Are you curious because of those words? It's true that we are fated. Someone I know very well told me that my fated person will appear suddenly to Gede mountain. Her characteristics are that she is a woman with curly hair, beautiful, tall, likes mountains and like nature, often travels and go in trip, has complex thoughts, is often lonely and has a kind heart, likes to help and maintain cleanliness. He said the first time I saw her, first I would feel curious, then I became more and more curious deeper into her. And that's how I feel when I see you."
"But what if it's not me? What if you've been wrong all this time? The problem is that the message must have been a long time ago, right? asked Putri feeling insecure.
"This is not wrong, because there are things that make me more sure that you are my soulmate." said Nara.
"What makes you so sure?" asked Putri
"The necklace you're wearing." he said. Putri gasped and immediately held the blue gem tulip necklace.
"W-what's with this necklace?" asked Putri surprised.
"That's a necklace passed down from your ancestors right?" asked Nara. Putri gasped.
"H-how did you know?" asked Putri disbelief.
"That someone conveyed information to me, if your exact characteristic is that you wear a necklace passed down from your ancestors. It is a necklace that will later protect you from many evil creatures even though it is still not active. time will be given to me." said Nara. Putri's eyes widened for a moment. A fact that is quite astonishing. Facts that were enough to make him... Surprise half to death.
