Arrow's Heart

The night in which the mind of Anindya's is filled with boredom, she always fantasized about getting out of the white-patterned room with typical Javanese carvings. Anindya does not want to do things like her mother used to do until the end of her mother's life, her mother cannot be free from activities that Anindya considers stupid. 

All her life, she always be watched by bodyguards and making her very uncomfortable and doing things that are very unusual from most women, she must maintain her dignity for the sake of her family name. Suddenly she came back to her senses after imagining when there was a knock on her white-patterned door.

"Come in" And two maids came into her room with a letter.

"Princess, tomorrow is your schedule for taking traditional dance class". She knew she hate that also her mother.

"All right, thank you" taking the letter that her two maids were holding, the two maids smiled and bowed then walked out of the room, while she just wondering to run from her life right now. Anindya opened the letter, and it was written that she had to come, of course that was an order from her father. One of the kings on the Island of Java at this time, she could do nothing but obey her father orders otherwise Anindya would surely have the same fate as her sister. Yes, her sister has been locked up for about 2 years for not obeying her father's orders. and if you ask does anyone outside of the palace know? 

The answer is of course no, because this family really cares for the name of the palace. Then then surprisingly her sister died by hanging herself, Anindya did not know what her sister had violated. All of that incident made her mother suffer very badly and fall ill until finally her mother took her last breath too, now only she lives in this palace house, so spacious that Anindya's heart feels lonely.

And the time had come, in the morning she was already in the dance room filled with statues and typical Javanese patterns, there were lots of women of blue blood lineage attending this class. Anindya took this class with a lot of laziness, until the time when her eyes caught a handsome man, his height was almost the same as a pole, and when he smiled it was very sweet. 

Anindya swallowed her saliva and her heart pounding, really Anindya never felt this before. And suddenly the man disappeared from her sight, Anindya had to meet the man then she asked permission to go to the bathroom for a while and asked her guards not to follow her. At first, she doubted that her guards would obey her but unexpectedly her guards would follow her orders. She was looking around to find the guy and accidentally bumped into someone's shoulder, when she saw his face Anindya said from her heart "I found you".

"I am sorry miss, did I hurt you?" The man said with eyes filled with worry while holding Anindya's shoulder. She did not answer, she had already entered into the man's gaze, and she again felt her heart about to burst out. Then again, the man recalled her; "Miss, are you okay?"

Now his soft voice made Anindya realize, with a very confused face she said "Sorry, what did you say earlier?". The man's face which was worried at first now changed, his upper lip rose, and his eyes narrowed. This man seems to feel that Anindya's confused face is really cute and Anindya was again confused as to why this man was smiling.

"I said. Are you okay and did I hurt you, miss?" The man still smiling and looked at Anindya so deeply like the man went to her heart. "Yeah, I am okay, and you did not hurt me at all" Anindya looks so nervously, and her eyes did not dare to look at the man.
