The Prince and The Shepherd

The Royal Family

Raven hit the wall in rage hearing Anwell saying negative things about Scantila," Do you think she will come back to you , ha ? Lots of wealthy good looking men in royal family! You know what she gonna do ? Kick you out ...hahahah! "

He wanted to beat Anwell till he suffocated , but all he could do only sitting at the edge of the bed , yesterday, present time and tomorrow seemed to mingle in his mind ..

" Thanks to you , Raven, all l can do to return your kindness as a great merit of yours is my appreciation to all the support and love you gave to me , all these years you helped me till l am today "

Raven didn't want to take this gratitude exposure as an opportunity to thank him back for the boss ' s gesture towards him as gratefulness to have Scantila as one of the candidate

to be sent abroad for working at a Royal family somewhere across the continent by the name of Galbahera .

Raven didn't have any idea where Scantila got the private message on the page of a newspaper on of vacancy column .The boss who got the business of sending human resource as ordered by foreign rich countries had good order message for a post at the Continent, came as honor as the kind of order wasn't everyday order . It's rare and special .Royal family!

It's easy to read from his face and expression that he could not accept the fact that Scantila would not give any appreciation of his pledge to stay and not going anywhere which just made them being apart .

He even admitted all imperfections life they have in living in their own country where everyone feel hard to get a job and proper kind of life.

" It is the ability to have joy and fulfillment in the present moment, that make you happy,Scant ,not by clinging to a situation you're not belong to...it is only dream which is flawless. Reality is all the same everywhere ..the imperfections in everything.."

" Learning from mistakes that l often find myself in vain ..in many efforts I have done to achieve a betterment allowed me, for personal reason to grow and develop my dream and be realistic by gaining outlook on life ...even God told us to go widespread to know each other cultures... don't you remember it? "

Scantila always see him as a quite good person and she felt the pain on the possibility separation with whom she loves from the very moment they knew each other, and both of them were recognizing the fact that no situation ,place or person would ever be flawless.

" One thinker said ,"A man falls in love through his eyes, a woman through her ears.For me it's not throughly right .l was drawn to you first when I saw you chuckled while watching " Franklin " the turtle tv cartoon .

Then we had a talk about Benyamin Franklin the was a

statesman, inventor, writer, printer, and philosopher. You said,I still and always will remember the words ,

"He wrote , ''Half truth is not the

truth "

I used it for reaching out my auto principle in always saying the truth !lt was fascinating. You will learn a lot by this statement , that l did not fall for you on your look ... but the first opening talk ..."

Like most young women ,Raven understood that Scantila was also had fantasy to have a rich man as her future lover and spouse one his day. He also wish to rise from poverty to the peak of wealth he could reach at the most limit of his power . Who teach you how to be wealthy or having title , reputation or any other achievement in only one blink of an eye?None ! If there was ,then she or he will be nomore than a fool or big dreamer ,uh !

Not necessarily to become the richest man in the world , but to be at good level in society is more than enough for him .This outlook was not just about wealth but also about creation. He believes that good man will divide his thoughts on various matters cause life is precious.

" Do you know what make me change my mind not to tolerate you and let you g o , Scant ? "

Reading his expression and old looks caused by exhaustion made her fancying another guy whom she saw just an hour ago as a passer _by , fashionable , good looking and that yummy style with both hands inside his pocket while walking along the sidewalk.And the rejection of her ideas especially about going overseas for work these days.

Dear God ,Forgive me ! Raven has good looks with his timeless wisdom of honesty. Below him were just young men with such old unattractive tricks in creating a make up impression on female by showing their best at first stage only . After they succeeded to make a woman trust them ,then they will become all liars and promises breakers . Uh .

Franklin the turtle in cartoon . ..was a lifetime memory for her whereas most men are crazy about female physical beauty and wish to have a collection of pretty girls ,Raven interested in her quote about the half truth isn't the truth ... . One of the profound thing he said at the beginning of their relationship was, " For me,school is not the only source or place to be knowledgeable and does not guarantee success in life. One must learn to combine it with school of life named grievance and desires "

Yes , Raven was a decent fellow. Brilliant, fighter, and well behaved.His road to wellness and wealth maybe in the long term but during the painstaking struggle,he knew how to have pleasure, by sharing time to enjoy themselves with anything that should not be always spending money.

She cannot bear walking along on the long and narrow pathway among the rice fields in the villages alone unless Raven showed her how to have such joyous experience. She realized that greeting and meeting with those peasants with their farms and shepherds with their herds are such meaningful moments. He introduced her to a hard but cheerful turn of a life journey.

It was such an impressive picnic as instead of paying tickets or food at amusement center, they followed the lines of the nature itself. He had vivid life, full of various alternatives to overcome many life troubles, not to avoid it ,but he showed how he went through the life hardship gracefully that is rare in many ways ...but pleasant and make her grow even at the hardest part of day .

Anyway ,she didn't want him to see her as a person who escaped from her trouble in facing the stagnant kind of society they have been living in . The fighting spirit her was something every human should convey.

She didn't fight for her freedom but for a better life and an adventure and it didn't mean she repudiated him for ever.

" We will contact each other by letters and postcards.. let's our spirit fly somewhere out there...

Words described their thoughts regardless anything open or

hidden in their innermost hearts.

A small quarrel happened like waking up a sleeping lion. It indeed threatened the relationship between her and him when the house they used to dream as their dream house to live together if the time comes to live as couples won't serve them any longer .

If he set her free, the dream house would someday return to their minds as the favourable place to be together till the end of time .

Raven merely sneezed and sneered of hearing her say so.The house matter would be only banal talk of trying to help him went through the fact that she will go after all..but nevertheless letting her go wasn't an option. For him,it's a final hit of a judge 's hammer in a law court.

After all ,he won't put himself as a hunter whereas Scantila stressed herself as an explorer in a strange jungle. The house was fading away through the decaying hopes when he had to set her free.

Raven sent her a short note , "Enigma was the word I used often since longtime ago as it's synonym for puzzle .I always apply it to life matters "

How is your feeling about the future now ?

" It is a challenge to see any sort of possibilities named optimism. ..and to feel the safety to move ahead called trust. Join me at the airport... explore the place where we shall apart and how can we bring these two elements together in hoping to meet again .."

Raven put hands on his ears to close his hearing..

And yelled as loud as he could..
