The next day, Ray continued his date with Keisha (Big Sis).
Even though Keisha said she was okay, the last night's atmosphere was destroyed by that one encounter, and Ray couldn't find any suitable chance to confess.
Therefore, for Today Ray had decided that they should avoid some quiet place that could possibly have a chance to destroy the atmosphere between them.
Currently, Ray was on a call with the association member.
" So, have you prepared everything?"
" Yes, Sir. Everything is under control. But... do you really want to confess in Candi Prambanan? It might be a romantic place, but legend told that couple who confess their love there would not have a good ending."
" .... "
" Sir? Are you okay?"
" What the heck do you think I'm okay? If you know about it, then why don't you tell me sooner!!!"
Yup, Ray was actually an idiot. Just for this occasion, he had asked some advice from the little demon king, but it seemed that little Demon king's advice was a bit bad.
Maybe because Ray trusted the little demon king too much, he didn't really do much research about this. Luckily, the association's member was there to confirm with him.
" Change of plan. I'll be looking for another spot. For now, just postpone everything until I told you to."
" Eh... well sure. You're the boss."
Ray closed the phone and sighed. Why the heck confessing is so troublesome.
Still, its a once in a lifetime story, and he really wanted to make it a memory that they would be able to remember in the future, so a little sacrifice would be worth it, he thought.
Ray had just put down the phone when Keisha appeared from the bathroom, fully dressed and ready to go out.
" Sorry to make you wait, Ray!"
" It's okay. By the way, you look really beautiful, Kei!" Said Ray, which made Keisha blush.
Since coming to Jogja, the relationship between the two had taken a new step, and Keisha now felt really grateful that she chose to come to Jogja with Ray.
" Hehe, I'm happy if you like it. By the way, where are we going today?"
" I actually have a few places in mind. But how about you? Do you have any place you fancy?"
" Hmm.. if it's me then..."
. . . . . . . . . .
- Jogjakarta town square -
"Hey, isn't that the newly famous awakener?"
"Where? Where??"
"Huh…. It really is him...."
Even though it was not the weekend, many people came to visit Jogjakarta's town Square. It was one of the most popular spots in Jogjakarta, and many couples chose this place as their favorite dating spot.
In the middle of the town square were two big trees, which was the focal point of the tourism spot here.
However, there was something special for today. Almost all the people here recognized the face of one newly popular awakener and stared at him with eyes filled with amazement.
"Who's the beautiful lady next to him? Is she his girlfriend? I think I'm prettier than her."
"Shut your mouth, please. Do you think you are worthy…. Don't you know awakener Eve from one of the big families??"
"No way! This is huge!"
"What the heck? Are the two of them dating now?"
Yup, sadly, it was not Ray and Keisha. Ray could be said as a new upcoming star in the awakener industry. However, his fame was only limited to the Government's upper echelon and the association.
The president had done a pretty good job in hiding Ray's identity from the public and took away all the unwanted attention from him.
For the pair that took away everyone's attention, the woman was Eve, of course. She slightly lowered her head as if she couldn't really get used to all the attention from the people surrounding them and whispered in a small voice.
"Geez, why should I come here with you? The Family head sometimes really issued a strange task. Compared to you, I would rather go with him..."
The man next to him replied with a nonchalant expression.
"Do you think that my face is the face of someone who is willing to go through all of this? I am the heir of the Mahkota group, so I don't understand why my father would set me up to go on a trip with someone like you."
Eve stared at the Mahkota heir with an unbelievable expression. She thought Ray was already pretty bad, but now she thought that Ray's cold personality was a lot better than this narcissistic next to her.
Eve was no longer young, and it was understandable if the Family head wanted to help her find a partner to enjoy her life as a woman.
Too bad for her. The man walking alongside her just so happened to be the narcissistic Mahkota heir. Eve's cheeks flushed in anger. If not because of her respect for the Family head, she would have kicked the cocky Mahkota heir and left on her own.
Unbeknownst to the two of them, the scene of the two walking together was not only witnessed by some common folks, but also by an acquaintance of them.
' The heck, that is the Mahkota heir and Eve... What are they doing here together?'
Coincidentally, Ray's and Keisha's dating spot was also none other than the famous town square of Jogjakarta. Ray and Keisha had just stepped down from the car when he noticed the two familiar-looking faces currently had a date.
' No Ray... You should not think too much. You are on a date with Keisha, so you should not care about anything else.'
Because of the nature of Indonesian, Ray was very curious about the truth behind the two persons walking together. However, he knew that he was on a date with Keisha.
Ray tried to divert his own attention, even if only by a little, by changing the topic of the conversation with Keisha.
"By the way, why do you want to come here Kei…."
"Ah.. the legend said if we were able to walk past through the trees with our eyes closed, we would be able to get our hope realized.. and I.."
Keisha's voice was getting smaller with every word she said, and in the end, she just blushed while averting her gaze from Ray.
Since when did she become this shy? Normally she would be bold enough to take the lead between the two. But why, now that their relationship had almost been confirmed, she began to be very shy with Ray.
She racked her brain, trying to find the reason. That's when her eyes locked onto Ray's rather mischievous grin.
"Hehe, it's okay. No need to say anything, I know what are you thinking about…."
*Blush*
It took a few minutes for Keisha to fully recovered from her blush. She never thought that such a short sentence from ray would be able to make her feel like that.
" Haha, just kidding. Let's go and enjoy the date."
Ray knew that it would be pointless if Keisha was to be in this state all their dates. So rather than that, Ray decided that he would just drag Keisha around and have some fun together.
The two walked around the Jogjakarta Town Square, rode the horse there, played some minigames, and took a few pictures together.
Everything was fun until Ray accidentally bumped into someone.
" Ah, sorry..."
" It's okay, my friend. Rather than that, do you want to join our Morningwood Cult?"
" Pardon?"
Ray thought he heard it wrong.
He thought that he had been hiding his identity well enough, so why would suddenly be some stranger calling out his name here.
Ray was about to enter his serious mode when he turned back to see the face of the man he bumped into, only to see a scene that was deeply imprinted in his brain for the rest of the day.
*ZIIINNGGG!!!!!!!*
A pair of shining golden balls were displayed in front of Ray, and in the middle was a majestic stick that could even fight the heaven.
" let me ask you once more, my friend. Do you want to join the Morningwood cult and hail the Morningwood Master together with us?"
At this moment, Ray felt like he had just discovered the reality of the universe.
The theory of the planets and the big bang and everything was just a lie covered by the government. The truth was always in front of their eyes, two beautiful golden balls with some hair on it....
Truth my ass!!!!! Ray wanted to puke right now.
What sin did he commit in his previous life to see such a thing?
In fact, if it was not in public, Ray had some thought to just summon his Natal weapon and crash that two pair of golden balls.
Seeing Ray was dazed, the man thought that Ray would agree to joining their Cult.
So full of enthusiasm, he got closer to Ray and...
" My friend, let's join the Morningwo-"
BAMMMM!!!
A rock suddenly passed through the man's hair, just barely missing his head.
Ray's face was smiling, but his eyes clearly indicated that he was not in a good mood.
' Come Closer, and I will chop that thing of yours.'
It was at this moment the man knew he was messing with the wrong person. he apologized to ray and quickly went away, leaving the dazing Ray with Keisha.
' The heck was that Morningwood Cult!!! Morningwood Master is such a cool and strong person, don't you dare you turning the name of Morningwood master by showing your ugly things!!!' Thought Ray secretly in his heart.
