The Three Chosen
269. Izar Galau
A week just passed. Fatur, Faiq and Pandu are still waiting on the same beachfront restlessly. Lucky place they wait is not too interesting attention until they can focus dhikr without being disturbed by the traffic of beach visitors.
Among the three of them Pandu was the most troublesome because he had to go back and forth to take a change of clothes for Faiq and Fatur. He also had to go back to work and could not apply for leave again because he had taken his leave when he saturrahim to his aunt's house in Riau some time ago.
After work hours Pandu immediately slid to the beach where Faiq and Fatur were waiting. Guides deliberately use a motor to make it easier to do activities and faster to drive on crowded highways.
“ Assalamualaikum Opa, Papa..,” saya Pandu.
“ Wa aleikumsalam..,” say Fatur and Faiq together with a smile.
“ How Pa, have you heard..?” ask Pandu while handing over dinner to Fatur and Faiq.
“ Not yet Nak. Dayang said they were being held there to solve a problem.” said Faiq.
“ Detained, does that mean they can't go home..?” ask Pandu worriedly.
“ Ga too, they were detained to help the king of Graha. They finally found out who the troublemaker was..,” said Faiq quickly.
“ Why, You miss Cici..?” goda Fatur while bribing food into his mouth.
“ Yes Opa...,” say Pandu while grinning.
“ You are calm. Dayang said Cici also misses you and thinks you continue to really..” said Faiq tried to calm Pandu.
“ The real Pa...?” ask Pandu with sparkling eyes.
“ Yes. Udah, now eat first and do not worry too much..,” said Faiq.
“ Ready Pa....,” said Pandu then began to devour his food while smiling silently.
“ Do we not need to help them Nak..?” ask Fatur.
“ Sampe is currently not Om. Children are still able to solve the problem themselves.” said Faiq.
“ Thank you. Hopefully all the problems are quickly resolved and they can go home soon.” Fatur said.
“ Aamiin...,” sahut Faiq and Pandu together.

Iyaz, Izar and Hanako are still stuck in another dimension. Even though the attitude of the palace residents was a little different, the king of Graha and princess Hara still behaved well. The three of them were also given the freedom to wander around the palace area without any escorts. And this opportunity was put to the best use by Iyaz, Izar and Hanako to find as much information as possible and in their own way.
“ How...?” Izar asked his two brothers.
“ Hasn't caught anything yet. How are you..?” ask Iyaz.
“ Same...,” sahut Quick Izar.
“ You how is Ci...?” ask Iyaz.
“ Same too. I don't know if this is important or not. I saw the empress of King Graha chatting together with a man dressed in royal clothes in the park earlier.
“ Which boy, what's his name..?” ask Izar.
“ I don't know his name. But he is often seen pacing around in this palace kok..” Hanako said.
“ It's weird...,” said Iyaz.
“ Strange why, could it be a personal bodyguard who again reports the same Bu Gayatri..,” Hanako said.
“ But it can't be just the two of you. As a King's consort, Bu Gayatri should be able to keep her attitude and words in order not to make her Husband embarrassed.
“ We must report this same King Graha..,” said Izar.
“ But how do we meet King Graha...?” ask Iyaz.
“ Hara. He can help us meet and chat with his Father.” said Hanako enthusiastically.
“ Yes, You are right...,” say Iyaz and Izar together.
Then the three convey their wishes when Hara meets them. Hara seemed to listen to what Hanako said carefully. Without them realizing Izar was taking the interaction of the two seriously. No, but observing Hara more precisely.
Izar secretly admired Hara. Not only did her physique look beautiful and perfect, but Izar was also amazed at the mature attitude that Hara showed. At the age of just twenty-three years old princess Hara was able to dampen the chaos that occurred in the palace well.
Hara was wise not to corner her father's three guests and asked the palace residents to respect the three. Hara also showed a friendly attitude even though now Gayatri attitude is different and
suspecting the three since knowing the royal heirloom disappeared. Even Hara was willing to be a connector between the three brothers and her father.
Iyaz who knows if his twin is interested in Hara also starts teasing him.
“ Beautiful yes Zar..,” whispered Iyaz.
“ Banget...,” say Izar fast.
“ Pinter again...,” said Iyaz added.
“ Not only pinter Yaz, he is good, wise and his heart is very soft..,” said Izar while continuing to look at Hara.
“ If the same Alya, which is better.?” ask Iyaz again.
“ Yes definitely Hara dong. Uh, what are you doing carrying Alya's name all...?” Izar asked when he realized that Iyaz was comparing Alya with Hara.
“ Gapapa. Just want to know how deep you feel with Hara. Remember Zar, we are of different dimensions to Hara. So control your feelings so you will not be disappointed later.” said Iyaz reminded.
“ I know Yaz. I'm just amazed how he is..,” said Izar while staring softly at Hara as if it was realized if he could not reach Hara let alone have it.
Hara who realized Izar was staring at him intensely also seemed uncomfortable and misbehaved. Sometimes he bows his head in shame. Apparently Hara was also interested in Izar. Since the first time he saw Izar while visiting his room, since then Hara liked Izar.
Hara felt that Izar was a fun guy and different from the men she had met all along. If all this time the men will keep their distance and attitude when dealing with her given her status as the daughter of a king, but not with Izar. Izar would casually talk and joke with her without being awkward even though he would occasionally be polite if he remembered his status. But the rest of Izar treated him like a friend and it made Hara comfortable.
But the sense of comfort that Hara felt also developed into a different taste. Within a few days, the comfort turned into love. To be sure Hara always felt her heart beating faster as she faced off against Izar. Although he tried to control his own feelings but it seems difficult. Moreover, Hara's gaze often collided with Izar's sharp gaze.
Often Hara reminds herself not to fall in love with Izar. Hara realizes that their world is different and impossible to unite. What love means if they cannot unite, is the principle that Hara tries to maintain.
“ That way I'll arrange for the three of you to talk to Dad. Maybe I'll find another place that no one else might look at..” said princess Hara.
“ Ok is up to you. Thanks ya Hara...,” Hanako said.
“ Together Brother. Now I go first yes...,” said Hara with a smile.
“ Yes...,” said Hanako with a smile to release Hara's departure and then turn around to approach her two cousins.
“ We have to cepet Ci. I don't want Izar stuck here..” said Iyaz.
“ Yes Yaz. I also want to go home, the sooner the better..,” said Hanako steady.
Then Iyaz and Hanako looked at Izar just silently not responding to their words because they were upset with his feelings for Hara.
