The Emperor Neptune
Finding the Meaning of Love 8

Various kinds of dishes with processed seafood have been arranged neatly on the table. Not to forget a glass of soursop juice Kay special message for Violet.

"Drink this juice before eating to neutralize your stomach acid." Kay gives Violet a glass of juice.

"You remember I like soursop juice?"

"Whatever you are I always remember."

Violet blushed in embarrassment.

"Violet, may I ask you to feed me?"

"Why your hand?"

"I'm afraid this is really the last time I'm this close to you."

The hue of Violet's face instantly changed, there was a pain as if she had slashed her heart at Kay's reasoning. Violet was only capable of sobering in her mind, "If there were no Princess Xie I would always be this close to you Kay. But destiny does not unite us. I don't want to be a barrier between you. Even talking about your relationship is sick let alone living in your area."

"Hows it? Don't want ya?" kay's question awakened Violet from her imagination.

"Alright, I'll bribe you."

"Wear hands, I don't want to use spoons."

"Why?"

"I want to enjoy your hand. I used to feel my mother's feed, and I wanted only my mother and you to bribe me."

"Kay, don't make me baper again. It'll be hard to let you go."

"If it's hard don't let go of Vi. I don't want to get away unless you ask."

"Kay, help! You promised me not to talk about this again."

Kay smiled bitterly, the smile she forced.

"All right, I'm sorry. Now quick bribe me. I'll take you to a very special place."

Violet fed Kay with her hands.

Household

Mark goes to his girlfriend's house to discuss their wedding plans and plans to visit Lisa's parents in the Netherlands.

"So next week we're leaving?" mark asked while embracing Violet's shoulders as they sat side by side on the sofa.

"Wouldn't faster be better?"

"really. But are your parents no problem?"

"Why?"

"I'm just worried if they think it's too soon."

"Darling, I'm 28 years old now. I think I can be said to be an adult to be married at this age. I want to have a lot of kids with you anyway. If I get married any older then there'll be less time for us to make it."

"Haha... You could make a joke!" Kay pinched Lisa's puffed nose.

"Honey, where's Kay taking Violet?"

"I don't know, baby. Let them meet and solve their problems." Mark replied covering up.

"Hmmm..." Lisa nodded her head.

"Darling when did you take me to Neptune?"

"After meeting your parents, I'll take you to meet my parents."

"Are they going to like me?" lisa asked with a worried look.

"I'm sure my parents will like you a lot."

"Hopefully!"

_ * * * _

After finishing her dinner, Kay takes Violet back to the magnificent Neptunecorps headquarters building.

"Srsttt... You don't know the one place that's here yet." whispered Kay.

Kay then parked her car and they took the elevator to the top floor of Kay's office.

"That's lonely. I'm scared." Violet closed her body to Kay.

"Let's just relax there's me. Come aboard!" Kay leads Violet up a staircase that connects to the top of the building.

A step before the door opened Kay asked Violet to close her eyes. Then Kay guided Violet through the iron door.

"Violet, now open your eyes!"

Violet opened her eyes, and Violet was speechless with what she saw. At the top of the building Kay has transformed into a very romantic place with thousands of white flowers, also hundreds of lit candles and an expensive fur carpet on it are available pillows and various fruits and drinks. Coupled with the wind made the atmosphere increasingly washed away the feeling.

"When did you get all this ready?" violet asked with sparkling eyes.

"I just asked Sindy to get everything ready. You likey?"

Violet nodded her head quickly,

"That's great. Thanks." Thanks."

Kay smiled with satisfaction at the reaction of Violet who liked her surprise.

"I still have three hours, we spend those three hours with both of us here."

Kay's words felt like a knife that slashed Violet's heart.

"This fate is unfair to me. Why do I only have this short time to be happy with you Kay? And I only have the chance to dream all the time. If there were no matchmaking between you and Princess Xie." - Inner Violet.

"Let's go there." Kay grabbed Violet's hand, grasped it tightly and led her to sit down.

"Kay, man,"

"Hmmm..."

Violet rested her head on Kay's shoulders, with their hands still not released.

"Will you remember me when you're there?"

"Why are you asking like that? Of course I will always remember you every time I open my eyes until I close my eyes."

"Kay, if time could be turned back I would never know you."

"Why Vi? Is that how you hate me?"

"It's not Kay." Violet sighed in length to unravel the tightness that was squeezing her chest.

"I wouldn't want to know you because knowing you makes me fall in love. And a love that can't have it tortures Kay's heart." Violet's tears escaped her defense.

"Vi, I won't force you to be by my side even if I know we love each other. But I want you to lower your ego a little. I want to explain it to you Vi, but you won't let me."

"Sorry Kay, I'm not ready to listen to him because it's the same. My heart is still hurting."

"Violet, at least I want you to know that at all my age, I'll just love you."

Violet raised her head and looked at Kay, as did Kay who got a sad look from Violet's eyes.

"Kay, can you still hear my heartbeat?"

Kay nodded her head in response.

"Is it the same as it used to be?"

It was Kay's turn that couldn't hold back her tears to not plunge free.

"Still the same Vi."

"My heart rate will stay the same as this forever, but it only happens when it's near you. I want to be selfish Kay! I'd love to be selfish to have control over you. But I can't!" violet's tears broke, Kay grabbed Violet and buried her in her arms.

They both drown with misunderstandings that can not be ended because of each other's selfishness to give up and cover up.

In this episode I want to close it with a quote that may be useful.

Many times in life we are faced with a problem. We want to solve the problem but we are not able to solve it because we feel there is a heart to be maintained, there is a relationship that must be maintained. Though all that is not a solution, but just stalling and adding new problems. Lower your ego, give others the opportunity to talk, listen and see what they say so that you will not be wrong in making decisions.

Reality is sometimes bitter, but as bitter as the bitter reality will be better received than a lie or a sweet secret that will make us worse in it. Keeping the hearts of others with lies is not a wise decision because lies as sweet as anything are just a poison that gnaws constantly.
