The middle of the year passed, somehow the calculation at this time but if in the time where I was already 6 months even I was in this time.. It is a custom that every morning, both Pureswari and I always come to Bale Daja to greet Father and Mother and go together to eat breakfast together.. What would happen to me if I went back in time and lived my life as usual without being able to see them back? As if lulled by the seduction of the presence of a flower bed that grows suddenly arrived in a barren field without a master.. Smiling even the way they looked at me, the attention of those I so desperately missed would lose their figure when they were 18..
The morning full of laughter suddenly shocked again by the presence of Atma and Caka which was like their tradition to do breakfast together as we were really married. But the arrival with her smile and innocent face today was so disturbing to me considering the events of yesterday that made me feel ashamed.. Fathers who have heard the news about the issue of women who dare to break into the Thawa Jana really need great courage considering that the place is a gathering place for Bhattara knights who have no doubt about their abilities..
As if trying to defy the rules that apply, Ayahanda also expressed his apology to Atma and Caka who seemed to laugh at the behavior of the woman who would become the future wife of Admiral from Thawa Jana who was none other than me.. Even Mother and Pureswari seemed to laugh as if they understood the stubbornness I had. The incident increasingly looks embarrassing when mid-morning to noon, we are the presence of Mahapatih Danudara who will be none other than my in-laws.. By bowing my head to him again who passed by with a smile on his face, it was clear that the news had reached him and made me even more embarrassed..
“ Gusti Mahapatih.. How could I not know of your arrival this morning?”
Said Patih Andaru by lowering his head
“ Is there anything wrong with visiting the residence of my future son, Patih Andaru? After all, aren't we going to be a family as soon as we can see, a kemuning who bravely challenges Atma?”
Mahapatih Danudara patted Patih Andaru's shoulder gently and with a ignorant smile looked towards kemuning
“ Please forgive Gusti Mahapatih.. Servant does not mean to be presumptuous to the su candidate... Ma, I mean servant to Admiral Bhattara Atma.”
The wrong kemuning explains being downcast in shame
“ AHAHAHA... Train Andaru, it looks like you raised your son so well to give Atma a life lesson.. You're gonna be the best wife for my son. Atma, you have to be ready because the battlefield will be more difficult.. AAHAHAHA”
Mahapatih Danudara stroked her yellow head as if giving Restu and passed to sit next to Patih Andaru
“ Gusti Mahapatih, please forgive me I want to talk about..”
“ NO. Thawa Jana is my responsibility and my territory. If you ask my father to release the boy, you're wrong kemuning.”
Atma cuts the conversation kemuning and gives a ignorant expression by drinking a glass of water in his hand
“ You. M E N Y E B A L K A N.”
Kemuning spoke softly by staring intently at Atma who continued to laugh mischievously
“ Aaa.. What's wrong with this kid.. Stop the two of you, we are eating this blessed meal and drink.. Be polite.”.
Said Raden Ayu kemuning mother who spoke while bowed using her shawl
“ AHAHAHAHA... Please return to this food and drink. After that Patih Andaru, there is something I want to talk to you about with Atma and Caka.”
The words of Mahapatih who arrived suddenly looked at Patih Andaru seriously
“ Sure, good Gusti Mahapatih. Will I prepare the middle hall Bale Delot.”
Patih Andaru lowered his head and directly pointed at one of the Servants to immediately prepare the meeting place
After eating food and drinks, Mother, Pureswari, and I headed straight out to the backyard.. Mother sat in an open barn in the expanse of a flower garden in Pureswari's company playing a very melodious musical instrument.. Even unconsciously the sound of the music delivered feels so very interesting soul that sometimes I become unaware of my existence which is either in the dimension now or later where I am.. Seeing the formidable knights walking towards the middle Hall of Bale Delot, the, I turned my head to find out my place as Prabu Stira who should not abuse my position because I only got orders from the Queen's Great Gusti and was not allowed to participate in palace political terms except for the Queen Gusti allowed it.
Amidst the sound of gamelan and zither passages played by Pureswari, I was involuntarily swept away and walked in the expanse of beautiful flowers in bloom.. Today's weather looks so bright that it feels dazzling in the morning to this afternoon.. I again walked around the flower garden accompanied by the sound of gamelan, but arrived somehow my head hurt until I was unconscious I was face down with legs trying to stand firm.. Either just my feelings or suddenly a hazy immune smoke came round me back and my head was getting sore and dizzy if I tried to keep my eyes open.. This fog.. I know this thick fog is what.... No, am I gonna..... At least this is my last memory just before I fell down and was unconscious again because of my head that felt so painful. Where else would I go? Where'sme? And who am I?
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
“ ning's... Ms Kemuning?”
Said one of the security personnel named Ajudan Jodi
“ It seems okay.. I hope he's okay.”
Said Keysha one of the female employees, Assist kemuning
“ Aarrrgghh.. My head! So sick! What.......”.
Kemuning tried to open his eyes and was full of surprise looking at his surroundings
“ Buy dyah? Miss dyah kemuning? Mom is okay? As soon as we found mom at the location, she was already lying unconscious.”
“ Report bu, during an earthquake, the mother's head is stung on a broken tree trunk so that the mother is unconscious for 6 hours.”
Adjutants Jodi and Keysha try to explain
“ Ap.. Whahuh? 6 Hours?... Me? ”
Kemuning who sat by holding his head wrapped in bandages full of confusion
“ No serious problems ma'am, the trunk of the tree only scratches enough in the mother's head but based on the results of medical records, there is not a single fatal result caused.”.
Keysha said back
“ Then, where am I currently?”
Say kemuning with a serious look to his employees
“ Nearest hospitals from bu hotel locations. Mr. Danu as President, then CEO Pak Atma directly who sulks you to come here.”
“ Yes ma'am, we also just found out that Mr. Atma is the son of Mr. Danu who has been our superior all this time. So, indirectly Mr. Danu is the President of the Hotel and Mr. Atma as the CEO. They are also talking to the Doctor at this time, look worried on you.”
Adjutants Jodi and Keysha try to explain back
These eyes blurred again and the eyes closed again trying to digest everything that was happening to me.. I finally came back to the time where I was.. Shouldn't I feel grateful? But I don't know why this heart feels so cramped and empty? There's something wrong with me right now, I don't know if it seems like I have to find out for myself.. Sitting with the head that still requires bandages, medication, and, and self-balance is seen in the reflection of the wide glass window of me who is wearing clothes and looks like a normal person at this time and there is no longer an arrow and sword bow that always being beside me.. I don't know why I'm used to carrying them all, until I don't realize this body is empty tarasa lifeless because of the loss of the figure that I miss so much.
Returning to all this, it was impossible for me to tell them all about my condition of feeling like I spent 6 months in a different time, but it turned out that in just 6 hours I was unconscious. Seeing them talk, at this moment I don't know why I feel empty? Do I not need to care about my condition that will live or die the next day? As if waking up from a long dream that looks strange with things that do not make sense.. Was it all just because my condition was comatose in just 6 hours? I even still wear the clothes I wear instead of the hospital uniform, it seems like my condition is okay..
“ What are you thinking? How's your wound?”
“ Aa, Atma?.... Mr. Danu.. I'm sorry sir, unconscious for some time.. How are the guests of the state?”
Kemuning was surprised to see Atma and Pak Danu who followed behind him by bowing his head to them
“ Why are you apologizing? It's not all your fault, everyone's been clarifying me. So tell me how you are doing right now?
Said Mr. Danu who was standing right in front of Kemuning together with Atma staring kemuning
“ Ba, good sir.. Thank ye. Can I continue to work now?”
“ Of course. As long as you feel fine, don't force yourself.”
“ Are you sure you're okay kemuning?”
Said Mr. Danu and Atma to kemuning
“ Yes, I am okay, thank you.”
Not waiting for a long time Keysha helped me to get ready and we immediately left the hospital and headed for the Hotel. Because of my current condition of still using bandages on my head and not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble or worry, I cut off Keysha to destabilize me in any field activities that necessitated my arrival. In the middle of the day while trying to do a lunch banquet, Keysha arrived to go along with Mr. Danu so that it requires me to act alone to the field.. Trying to cover the Wound on my head with a hat, it turns out to make me in pain so that sometimes this wound causes dizziness and pain..
Towards dusk and preparing for dinner, back, I headed to the Pantry kitchen clean Restaurant where Aunt Maya who served as Head Chef at this Restaurant who also kebetula as Guardian of my parents when Mama and Papa died first.. As usual, even though the kitchen pantry is clean, it still looks so busy that it is not aware of the presence of people around it.. Walking slowly by hugging the surprised Aunt Maya can be a bit of my current entertainment that feels tired and confused..
“ You're a big boy, still doing things like this.. How's your head doing? Because Atma called me, so I can relax.. Sit there.”
Say Aunt Maya while cutting vegetables
“ Only deep enough scratch wounds.. Tan, where's the assistant chef? Why are you working alone?”
“ He is moved, in exchange there will be someone coming to replace him.. Name's Pureswari. She has a unique name just like you, like from the past.”.
“ Ap... what? Pures what?”
“ Long life, it's look at him just came.”
“ Good afternoon, introduce me Pureswari.. Starting today I will be working as Assistant Chef Maya. Kindly guidance.”
Pureswari who subdued her body to Maya and kemuning
How could something like this happen in my life? They all look so real to me.. What's up with all this? Surprised and in need of adjustment I walked towards the end of the Restaurant where it seemed Atma was preparing all and conducting an examination for the dinner. Yes, they really look similar just with a different appearance. Whether in this period or that time, Atma was my childhood friend and we met again while sitting in college as Senior and Junior.
Only adrift age difference 2 years, for me Atma really charm with a relatively young age, he said, he's already the CEO even I heard he was active and became one of the important figures in a government party. Will he also follow in the footsteps of his father who in addition to penetrating the world of business economics, now the world of politics he will plunge into it. Perhaps that is why my relationship with Atma at this time was not clearly different from that of me and Atma at other times where I was his future wife.. At this time so many women are trying to approach him from various circles that have no doubt about the social status and also the position of his family with their appearance is also very charming..
So, uh, it is impossible for me at this time to be in a relationship with him even heard the news that he would be engaged to someone until some people corner me and speculate that I do not know myself with status the unclear family tried to attract his sympathies and love just because our two parents were first friends.. Hearing that made me angry and uncomfortable especially the Atma treatment that openly seemed to love me so much in front of them all without me understanding what the purpose of the actions he always gave me when I met with him..
“ Kemuning? Where are you going?... Hey, Hey, HEY!! Didn't you hear me?”
Atma who tried to chase kemuning and pulled his hand
“ I'm fine so let go of my hand.”
“ Where are you going? Have you met Aunt Maya? I want to introduce you to my cousin, I heard she works to be one of your current aides”
“ What? Who is he?”
“ Caka.. Maheswara Caka. He just finished his education and training, I hear he is now in your member ranks.”.
“ Ca, Caka?.... You, sure? Then if it's true, why did you introduce her to me? I can't raise his rank if he works very well because it's not my job.”
The yellowed speech that returned was surprised and pulled his hand from the Atma slowly
“ Ahaha.. Of course that's not what I mean, I just mean if you need more help he will immediately help you faster than others”
“ Why is your family so concerned about me? Even though our parents are friends and I am now an orphan, I am not a weak woman who needs something like this.”
Kemuning who bowed his head before Atma with clenched hands
“ What? Kemuning, how can you think like this? What's wrong with you?”
“ Atma.. Stay away from me. You're getting engaged soon, and I'll be back to work as usual. So, can you treat me as a coworker and not your childhood friend and junior on campus?”
Kemuning stared intently at Atma
“. . . . . . . Where did you get this lowly information? Me? A fiancee? Then what did you say? Childhood and Junior friends, that's your view on me?”
Atma who had been silent heard the words kemuning and replied to him
“ Yes, I'm sure the woman you will be with later is a very amazing woman.. Therefore please do not make others misunderstand me.”
The kemuning that immediately passed left Atma just like that
Walking straight with your head up does not help me at this time in solving this problem. But if you think back, what's wrong with all this? I who live at this time did put my heart on him but enough has not been conveyed this feeling I was quiet for a long time.. I no longer want to be in the shadow of uncertainty that torments me so much. Walking and increasingly walking towards the main Lobby, it looks like Caka really became one of my Adjutants that I did not realize for a few days.. Eyes to him who suddenly walked towards me and stood straight before me..
“ Bu kemuning, Adjutant Jodi before he went with Mr. Danu give this to me and leave a message to be handed to you. He said this hair ornament was in the grip of your hand when he found you unconscious the other day.”
Say Caka that gives hair decoration to kemuning
Seeing this thing for some reason without feeling these tears dripped and continued to drip without me noticing.. The heart felt as if something disappeared from inside me but what was it? What a thing that makes me feel so lost that it feels tight to breathe.. Really, what did I miss back this time? Why is this hair ornament in my hands when I don't understand what it means.. Why and why did I miss Atma so much and all that at that time? Have I lost my mind so unknowingly that I cried before all those who looked at me with pity and pity..
