Forbidden Love On A Full Night
The Seed of Love is Back

"The ram! Damn it, we've been looking for you both everywhere!" Emil looked at the two of us with a very surprised face.

And this is so embarrassing.

"Emil," said Ram and immediately sat up straight without caring about anything. Including her bare-chested self and just laying face down on a woman she fucked with crazy. In a cottage, in the middle of a forest. And only two.

And you know what I'm doing? I covered my body with a blanket, precisely my whole self, I shrouded myself from toe to head, as if by hiding myself I could disappear from this hut in one blink of an eye.

"It seems like your circumstances aren't too bad."

"We're fine" said Ram. "Miss Purna's horse threw it. But he's fine, really," he added hurriedly. "Only swelling in the ankles and bumps on the head. I don't think it's best to try to get back to the farm in the rain."

"of course. That's the right choice. Unlike my arrival which seemed to be at the wrong time." The young man laughed amusedly. Almost broken. "By the way, I brought an extra horse, maybe we can go home now that you two are ready."

I lifted the blanket and peeked at the situation inside the hut. Emil took off his hat, he patted it on his thigh, made water splash on the floor, then put his hat back on.

Ram nodded. "certain. We better go home now. Well, then, can you wait outside, buddy?"

"okay."

And Ram pulled out my blanket and reached out to help me sit down. Emil's out of the cabin. "He won't comment anything about you. So, just relax. No need to be ashamed of her, okay?"

I nodded, though the mind said it was impossible not to be ashamed. Emil clearly sees us in such a position. I was lying under Ram's naked body, the man was on top of me and was poking me. And luckily my clothes were still intact and the blanket saved my reddened face.

"I'm sorry. Can you please.. come out for a minute?"

Ram grinned silly. "If I don't want to go out. and want to see you...?"

"Ram...."

He giggles. "Yes, okay. I'm just kidding, and a little serious."

"Hmm.. basic!"

With a sling of his head, Ram stepped out of the hut, leaving me alone who immediately struggled with my already dry clothes by the fireplace.

While mendesa*, I collect my clothes. With my back to the wall and my back to the door, I took off Ram's pants and put on my own jeans, then took off Ram's shirt which, when I wore its length, covered my upper body to the thighs, and I'll put on my shirt soon. While sitting in a chair, I put on socks and boots, then put my hands to my hair. I need to comb my hair and brush my teeth, my mind grimacing.

Good thing Ram didn't protest when he kissed me. I feel ticklish. If I thought, how ugly this moment was.

I was thankful that I would ride out of the cottage by sitting in the saddle instead of lying on it.

The journey back to the farm was slow. Slippery path due to the mud, there are some places that look dangerous, and really washed away in other places, making Ram continue to worry about me. He asked me if I was okay, if I could do it, and so on. I was pleased with his attention and his overwhelming worry. And I think Emil realized Ram's sweet attitude was more than just a formality towards farm guests. Only Toshu did not understand this situation. The trained anjin* was pacing around in front of us. His nose smelled the ground.

With the pain in my head, the tension of finding a path, and the various unresolved issues between me and Ram, I was so exhausted once we arrived at the farm.

"Tell my aunt that we're home safely" Ram tells Emil. "I'll take Miss Purna to the cabin and take care of her horse."

While nodding, Emil rode towards the office.

When we arrived at my cabin, Ram got off the horse and took me down from the saddle. And Ram carried me right away even though I rejected him. He said he didn't want my ankle that wasn't fully healed back to hurt. So he forced me to shut up and just obey. Then okay. I comply. Besides, I like it when he's so considerate, caring, and pampering me.

"Are you okay?" asked Ram when he dropped me off to bed.

I'm nodding. "Yes." Yeah."

"Shake up and rest."

"Ram...."

"We'll talk again another time."

Yeah, I don't want to argue with that guy. I think if that's what he wants. So, right now, all I need is a warm bath, a delicious meal, and a good night's sleep, in order. I nodded to the man. "Thank you for coming to look for me." My hero....

"Yes. You welcome. Be careful with your ankles" he said. "I'll have one of the waiters bring me a tray of food."

I smiled thankfully. While nodding, Ram exited my cabin while I watched his departure until the man was nowhere to be seen after he closed the door, then jumped on the horse's back, holding the straps of the horse I was riding and leaving.

Compared to that hunting lodge, my lodge feels like a room in the Ritz Hotel. I filled the bathtub with hot water, added a lot of vanilla-flavored bath foam I bought at the souvenir shop, and soaked in the pool water that felt in heaven.

With my eyes closed, I reimagined my conversation with Ram. How could my father do something so despicable? The years I should have spent with Ram were wasted. I compared all the men I've ever dated to Ram, and they all lost. Lose telak. Even Christian, even though I refused to admit it to myself until the moment I stood beside the man at the altar, even until he was truly my husband. We were married for only a few hours before my first husband was killed by a gang of robbers who confronted us on the way to the hotel after the reception. Similarly, when compared to Mr. Reporter who also managed to make me stand next to him at the altar before I rediscovered my common sense - before it was too late - in a non-material sense, obviously they all lost compared to Ram.

While lying down and immersed in the frothy water, I they filled my heart, and realized I still truly loved the man, and it felt now like eight years ago: the: I just fell in love with Ramana Lingga Pradita....

Falling in love again....
