The Twin Sons the Ruler
Gathering

"That's the story, Amanda's mother." Rio scooped up the air around him to re-charge the air in the cavities of his lungs which were almost empty after a long time of telling without pause.

"Did you love Jasmine now, Mr Rio?" Rio confidently nodded his head, in response to Amanda's question just now.

"If you love her, why don't you ever reveal it?"

The silence paused for a split second. The next second, Rio sighed and smiled bitterly. "It was my fault, which I regret very much now. I thought that with me who was always ready whenever she needed, and still meeting her needs, I could show that I loved her. It turned out that I was wrong," Rio rubbed his face rough.

"Why after all this time, Jasmine left are you just looking for her now? as for the woman that Ardan asked you to look for, do you try every day to look for her? Is that woman more important than your own wife?" tucked away in the annoyance behind Amanda's words. Because it felt that this man in front of him was more concerned with his master's orders than looking for Jasmine's whereabouts.

"Why are you talking like that? you don't know, after Jasmine's departure I try every day to find her. Stupid me .. I thought Jasmine went far away, abroad or other cities far from Jakarta. I don't think that Jasmine turned out to be not far from Jakarta." Rio explained.

"Hmm, why is Mr Ardan, so anxious to find that woman? is it because of that woman, that's why she hasn't been married until now?" the curiosity side of Amanda churned with curious reason Ardan who was hard to find the existence of a woman, so survive not married until now.

"Sorry, Amanda's mother, the reason why Ardan is always looking for that woman, I can't tell you, because that's Ardan's privacy."

Amanda nodded her head quite understandingly at the reason given by Rio. Amanda didn't ask any more, although it was still deep in her heart

curious.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"Jas, how's Cellyn doing? has the fever gone down?" ask Amanda as soon as they arrive at a pretty beautiful minimalist house. She accidentally walked into Jasmine's house with her two children, whereas Rio she told her to wait for a while outside and would call out to her later after she finished talking to Jasmine.

"Celyn has improved, Nda. Her fever has gone down since taking the medicine that the doctor gave her yesterday."

Amanda nodded her head with a thin, sweet smile on her lips.

"Jasmine ..."

"Yes ..."

Amanda hugged Jasmine, causing a twitch in Jasmine's forehead. Jasmine breaks Amanda's embrace and grabs Amanda's shoulder gently. "Why are you, Nda? do you have a problem?" Amanda shook her head, wiping away the tears that had soaked her cheeks.

"So what's wrong with you?"

Amanda stared into the bead of eyes, Jasmine who looked a lot of pain stored there, to make Amanda's tears again dripped. "Why are you always so nice to me, Jas? why are you always willing to sacrifice for me, until you ignore your happiness?"

The frown on Jasmine's forehead was getting more and more visible, a sign that she was getting confused by Amanda's direction of conversation.

"What's the matter, Nda? what happiness have I neglected? please speak clearly!" fret Jasmine.But Jasmine did not get any answers. All he got was Amanda's sobbing sobs.

Jasmine let out a sigh, went for a while to check Celyn's body temperature by sticking her hand on her daughter's forehead. After feeling that Celyn's body was no longer hot, Jasmine again stepped closer to Amanda.

"She, it's good to talk outside. Talking here will not be easy. But you wait a minute, let me call Aby and Anin first, so that they keep Cellyn for a while."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Jasmine asks Amanda to sit down first, while she goes to the kitchen to pick up a drink.

"You drink first!" Jasmine handed a glass of water to Amanda's hand which was immediately gulped down by Amanda.

Jasmine landed her body sitting next to Amanda. "Now you're telling me, why are you?" jasmine's voice sounded soft, but tucked into a tone demanding an explanation within her gentleness.

Amanda lifted her face and looked at Jasmine with a gaze of gratitude and guilt mixed into one.

"Jas, why are you lying to me, about who you are and the money you transferred first, not because you helped people, but you asked from your parents, until you were willing to accept an arranged marriage with Ardan?"

Both Jasmine's netra grew up, gasping in shock, hearing Amanda's words that turned out to already know what had happened.

"Where do you know all that, Nda? I never told anyone at all, but why do you know?" jasmine's eyes were raised upwards, looking suspiciously at Amanda.

"Later you will know for yourself, now you explain first, why did you keep your status a secret to me? don't you believe me, so that after all this time we've been together, you've never shown your true identity? Are you afraid that I'm__"

"Can we shut up?!" jasmine interrupts Amanda's lash. "I don't not trust you. Instead, I am afraid that you will stay away and feel inferior, so that I do not want my identity to be known by others. I once had a friend whom I considered a friend. It turns out he was never sincere, he always used me. I know you're not like that. But I know, if you'd stay away if you knew, I'm a rich kid. Your weakness always likes to be self-assertive, Nda. And I don't want that until it happens," Jasmine paused for a moment to take a pause while scooping up the air, replenishing her 'volume' lung cavity as her air began to thin.

"Do Lora and Radit know who you really are?" Jasmine shook her head to answer Amanda.

"They don't know, even if I'm friends with them first. But just so you know, friends are not about who you have known for a long time, but about who comes to your life and never leaves you in the worst of situations and conditions. That friend, too, is one who dances with you in the sun and moon, and walks with you in the darkness. It means that true friends will always be there in times of joy or sorrow."

"Both of Amanda's netra, again dewy and shiny because it was filled with clear liquid, heard Jasmine's speech.

"Thank you Jas .. Thanks for everything." Amanda hugged Jasmine tightly.

"Now you tell me, how do you know all about me?"pinta Jasmine demands an explanation.

"Hmm, you wait here! I'll call him."

"You mean?" jasmine's frown furrowed looked at Amanda with squinting eyes.

"He's now in front," Amanda stepped towards the entrance. But he had not had time to arrive at the door, Rio who from earlier was already impatient, had already appeared first in front of the door.

"R-Rio ..." muttered Jasmine, glued to her place. His legs were instantly limp and like he was no longer able to support his body mass, until he fell down with a pale face, which made Rio swiftly run to hold Jasmine's body.

" It seems like me and my kids should go home. I hope you two can resolve your misunderstanding!"
