Prince Without Crown
Arriving at the Peak of Nature
...Nature Peak....
A young man wearing all-white clothes with a golden yellow silk wrapped around his waist seemed to be charging his horse towards a hut that was not too big but very sturdy, neatly arranged and clean.
If noticed, the hut looked very calm and very cool. This is because, around the hut there are several teak and waru tree trunks whose age may have been decades.
The young man who had just arrived seemed to lead his horse and let the horse graze after the young man dressed all in white reached the hut yard.
"Mixed..!" Greet the young man.
"Mixed...!" He said again because he did not get an answer from the owner.
"Rampes!" There was the sound of an old man from inside and now the door of the hut was open and the figure of an old man with all his hair was white.
"Receive my greeting, Angel's Finger!" Said the young man while kneeling.
"Haha. Wake up my grandson. It was inappropriate for a king to kneel before this old man who stinks of earth. Let's wake!" Said the old man while shrugging the young man who was kneeling before him.
"I'm sorry, Eyang. Because it does not directly lead Gayatri to meet Eyang at the foot of this natural peak hill. All because, there's a lot of work I have to do. Again, please Eyang deigns to forgive me!"
"That's it, Gusti Prabu! Let's go in. Gayatri will be back from next time. He has told me a lot about yourself and he has also told me that you and he have married in the Duchy of Gedangan," said Angel Finger with a smile.
"Ah. I totally approve of your marriage. Not because you are a king. But more than that, you have a very high knight soul and heroism. Gayatri did not choose a man who could protect her," said the Angel's Finger as he invited his guest to sit down.
"Thank you, Eyang,"
"Gusti Prabu, have you come here to bring my grandchildren to the palace, if you would like to obey the words of this old man, you better not! There are many tongues that can hurt his feelings later in there. Gayatri was an orphan from the age of ten. I picked up the boy in a village that was attacked by a gang of robbers. From then on, I took care of and raised her like my own granddaughter. I cannot bear if my dear grandson, whom I have taught with my hands, suffers. Although I can't give him the luxury, he'll suffer much if he lives in the palace caputren surrounded by sweet-faced, but rotten-hearted people,"
"Indra Mahesa obeyed what Eyang said. Right now, the kingdom is doing well and there are no problems. I have also left the kingdom of Sri Kemuning to uncle Arya Prana. It shouldn't be a problem if I'm here for a year, two or three years" Gusti Prabu Indra Mahesa said.
"Sounds better. But please understand. Here is the hut. Surely life here is like heaven and earth crust with life in the palace," said Eyang Jari angel also without cover-up.
"Eyang, I can count my existence in the palace for no more than nine days. For seventeen years I lived in the upbringing of Eyang Santalaya and the Angel of the silver fan at the foot of the cleft mountain. Is it much better than settling on the foothills of these natural peaks?"
"For months, we fought. Moving from one place to another. It was even much worse than living in this shack that belonged to Eyang," he added, regardless of the life of living in the hut was more sad than what he had lived all along with Gayatri and the other fighters.
The finger of the angel only the mangosteen heard the words of the young man. Indeed, he had met this young man when he met the dedengkot of the world of white flow in the teak padepokan Anom. This is where Indra Mahesa was acquainted with Gayatri.
