The Princess Love Story

"Come on, Novita. What's so hard about saying, Yes? After all, we will pay all the costs for you," Yudhis said pleadingly. Meanwhile, the girl whose full name is Novita Putri Anggraeni who continued to listen to the pleading sentence was only able to sigh in disgust when her two friends kept asking her to do something she really didn't like.

"It's obviously very difficult, Yudhis. If only you took me to travel to the beach or even abroad. Traveling around Europe and so on, of course I would have immediately agreed to your request. But this, visiting the graves of ancestors and kings? Seriously!" Novita continued to refuse. I don't know how many times she had refused. While they themselves had discussed this matter dozens of times, even for today Yudhis and Ardian had pleaded with Novita for almost an hour.

It was clear that Novita felt uneasy, because every time she met with her two best friends it was always the event of visiting the tombs of kings that they discussed. As for Novita, let alone visiting the tombs of kings. Visiting her family's burial area is very rare.

"Why would you go to a cemetery so far out of town, Adrian? There's a huge cemetery in the alley next to your house. Save your money for that. I can accompany you to the village cemetery if you want," Novita quickly retorted. Making Adrian and Yudhis instantly look at each other and end up sighing.

"That's different, Novita. Definitely different." Yudhis again tried to explain.

"What's different, Yudhis? All funerals are obviously the same. I really wonder about people who just want to pray that they are willing to travel far. Especially when it's just a funeral. Besides, did you know the king? No, right?" Novita continued to be evasive.

"How hard can it be, Novita?" Yudhis tried to extend his patience.

"Yes, after all, there we will not only visit the cemetery of the ancestors, but also the beach, and other tourist attractions." Andrian explained. Then he took out his cell phone and searched for something on it.

"Look, this is the information in the group that my mom sent me," Adrian said as he held out the cell phone in his hand to Novita, showing a list of locations they would visit later. Novita, on the other hand, still had a disinterested look on her face.

"Ah, or just like this, after everything is done, Adrian will buy you whatever you want. Your favorite boy band album? Concert tickets? Or whatever it is," said Yudhis, breaking the silence between them.

"Hey! Why me?" protested Adrian when he heard his brother's ridiculous proposal. Meanwhile, Yudhis immediately nudged his shoulder indifferently. "Already, shut up."

On the other hand, Novita, who heard Yudhis discussing her favorite boy band, a Korean boy band that she idolized, immediately showed a twinkle in her eyes.

"Is this serious?" asked Novita as if in disbelief.

Yudhis, who saw that, suddenly developed a smile feeling that his lure had paid off, and it even seemed that the man was staring ignorantly at Adrian while moving his eyebrows up and down.

"Ah, yes, alright. I'll buy it for you," Adrian said resignedly. He did not think that just to invite Novita to travel, he would have to end up sacrificing millions.

"Alright then, I'm coming! So when is the departure time?" asked Novita excitedly, in stark contrast to her attitude a few minutes ago before Yudhis mentioned something she was very interested in.

"Tomorrow," Adrian and Yudhis replied simultaneously. Making Novita, who had been blown away with excitement, suddenly widened her eyes.

"What? Why so sudden?" argued Novita who did not expect the event to visit the ancestor's grave to be held so suddenly especially since she had not prepared at all. Isn't this very surprising?

"We even told you about it a week ago, Novita Putri Anggraeni," sighed Adrian in response to the surprise his friend showed. Novita was silent as she recalled that it was true that the invitation had been made a week ago, it was just that she had been negligent.

"Alright, we'll leave tomorrow. Remember, prepare three concert tickets for me!" said Novita again excitedly, after all, for Novita she would do anything to get something related to her idol band.

"What? Why three? Who are they for?" Adrian widened his eyes. Because one concert ticket alone costs tens of millions, while now he is actually being asked for three tickets at once.

"Obviously for me and my two best friends," Novita explained as she ruffled Adrian's and Yudhis' hair with great excitement. Novita, Yudhis and Adrian have been best friends since they were young, so they often vacation together. They are also the ones who always look after Novita when she is in trouble with her boyfriend.

"Hey, I've accompanied you guys to visit the cemetery. So you guys should also accompany me to the concert. Okay? Ah, how exciting! I can't wait for tomorrow. I think I should go home now to prepare what I'll bring tomorrow!" said Novita happily. She walked away without even bothering to say goodbye to her two best friends.

"She's always like that," grumbled Yudhis looking at Novita who was getting farther away as he shook his head slowly.

Actually, neither Yudhis nor Adrian were in the mood to participate in the event of visiting the graves of the ancestors. In addition to the two men confirming what Novita always said to them about the girl's opinion about the grave visitation event, Yudhis and Adrian also sometimes felt that they turned into lame young men when they had to participate in the annual event that was always held by their extended family.

While their normal days were spent hanging out in the elite area with their other friends. I wonder what their friends will say when they find out about this strange habit that has been made an obligation by their extended family.

Usually, both Yudhis and Adrian never invited their friends or companions to come along. However, this year there was an error in the bus booking which caused an empty bench. Instead of correcting the order by changing to a smaller bus, their family took the initiative to invite people outside the family to come with them.

The other empty benches had been filled with some of their cousins' friends, while the one remaining bench gave Adrian and Yudhis the sudden idea to invite Novita, their best friend since childhood who was known for being so chatty. Yudhis and Adrian thought that with Novita there might be able to dispel the boredom in both of them. Moreover, Novita herself was already very familiar with the rest of their extended family.
