THE TEARS OF KUMARI KANDAM
CHAPTRE 10

The existence of his tribe is constantly harassed even by Queen Kumari Kandam, making the leader of the wandering tribe, Daxraj Natesh, do not hesitate to erase the memory of the queen as well as everyone in the Kumari Kingdom of Kandam. Daxraj was furious, because more and more people were curious and wanted to meet his tribe.

At first Daxraj wanted to do complete memory erasure as he did on Jihan's accomplice, but was undone given the fatal impact that would occur. Finally, as usual, Daxraj only erased the memories surrounding the whereabouts of his tribe. And tonight, it is the turn of King Kumari Kandam whose memory will be erased.

It was seen that Bheim was soaking in a hot pool, while cursing to read Haala's diary. But the few lines Braheim read made Daxraj forget for a moment the purpose of coming to the ruler of Kumari Kandam. Daxraj's heart fussed a little, hearing the strands of sweet words that Braheim read.

"Hot her eyes were suffocating, and her face was so ugly. Where do they know? I think he has very beautiful eyes, and a face that may be more beautiful than King Braheim. Is not the most important thing is his noble heart because it does not stop thinking about the life of every creature on this earth?"

DEG! DEG!

"I also have beautiful eyes. Then how did he know that the leader of the tribe was more handsome than me? And clearly my heart is the noblest. I have forgiven the lives of many wrongdoers" Braheim said, throwing Haala's diary back.

DEG! DEG! DEG!

Daxraj's heart grew louder, as the shabby little book that Braheim had thrown fell not far from where he was standing now. Daxraj intended to see who the owner of the diary who successfully made his heart storm, but did not have time because now Braheim was standing in front of him, ready to swing the sword.

Now Bheim and Daxraj are staring at each other, and observing each other. Bheim believes that the giant man in front of him is the man he saw on the balcony of Haala's room the other day. While lowering his sword Braheim turned around, and began to walk away from Daxraj. Bheim again cursed, because he did not accept the accuracy of Haala's guess.

"It turns out her eyes are beautiful. And damn. He looks more handsome than me too. Does he like tall and big men? How am I supposed to have such a body in such a short time?" ask Bheim in the heart.

"Braheim Bhaavesh."

Spontaneous Braheim stopped his steps. "I've come to erase your memory" Daxraj said.

"I don't think it's necessary. Didn't I mess with your tribe?"

"Just be on guard."

Brahim turned. "I'm good at keeping secrets."

"I knew. I did it for the peace of my tribe."

"I understand your situation. All right, but answer a few questions from me first, "braheim replied.

Daxraj was silent. "What's your name?"

"Daxraj Natesh."

Bheim. "Are you and your tribe on Kumari Kandam's side?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"good. Then, are you human?" ask Brahim again.

"Yes." Yeah."

Braheim scrunched his forehead. "What kind of person can suddenly disappear and erase someone's memory?"

"That's the hereditary talent of our ancestors."

"so apparently. Then, you don't have to answer this if you don't like it. A body like that, can I have it too?" braheim asked as he cleared his throat repeatedly.

"No."

"Damn," said Braheim in the heart. "Well last, did you sleep with Haala?"

"No."

Spontaneous Bheim smiled happily. "Good to hear. Then, quickly do the memory removal you mean. I'm getting cold."

Daxraj approached Braheim with wind-fast steps. Braheim's mouth was just round watching the extraordinary events unfold before his eyes. Daxraj then touches Braheim's forehead, and begins a ritual of memory removal. After being convinced that Braheim's memory has been erased, Daxraj intends to take Haala's diary and leave. Yet.

"Keep your hand from the book, Daxraj Natesh" Braheim said, drawing his sword.

Bad rumors about Jihan began to spread since she was thrown into a dungeon. Jihan, which was once very respected, is now a mockery almost every second. Feeling no wrongdoing, and not accepting the sassy treatment from around, Jihan returned to Braheim in the eastern palace.

This time Braheim allowed Jihan to visit, understanding Jihan's confusion. Although his memory was erased as it proved to be disturbing to the wandering tribe, Braheim felt sorry for Jihan. It was for this reason that Braheim allowed the guards to open the gates of the eastern palace.

"Prisons all those who have dared to spread bad rumors about me!"

"You just need to be calm, and the rumors will subside on their own" Bheim told Jihan.

"Quiet down? Can anyone be calm in my position sa-"

"Go back. There are still many reports that I have to check, "braheim interrupted as he got out of the chair.

"Do you just want to grant your lover's request?"

Bheim stopped his steps and turned to face Jihan. "You just don't know how thick the mask is" Jihan added.

Jihan was annoyed to see an expression not wavering on Braheim's face, but muted it with all her might. Jihan prefers to rotate her brain to continue to influence Braheim in order to bring Haala closer to the beheading. With a series of confident words, Jihan began to use her merry lips to lie.

Jihan said Haala often invited some men from the brothel to her room. Jihan also claimed to have seen with her own eyes, Haala entered the private room of the royal physician and spent the night there. Jihan did not even hesitate to involve Murat in her lies to convince Braheim.

"Since when have you turned into this, my wife?"

"What do you mean?" Jihan asked Brahim.

"You know exactly what I mean."

Jihan turned around, walking away from Braheim. "I don't know."

"You were a gentle, loving, humble woman. Where'd all that go?"

"It's just a matter of shifting the subject, Braheim. You gave me a clear answer" Jihan replied.

"You've changed since I built the harem."

Jihan jerks. "I built this day not because I wanted to, but because I had to, for the sake of the well-being of Kumari Kandam" Braheim added.

"Is it only Kumari Kandam in your head? I'm so lonely, Braheim. Have you ever noticed it?"

Bheim was silent for a moment. "I'll pay more attention to you."

"no need. Just trust me to carry your child."

Jihan turned around, looking at the voiceless Braheim. Braheim's silence not only made Jihan's frustration overflow, but also immediately provoked various dirty tactics on her head. To hell with the title of queen that does not fit his original character, Jihan only wants to make the ruler of Kumari Kandam was brought to his knees.

Jihan came out of Braheim's room without saying anything, without looking back even though she knew that Braheim was looking at her from a distance. Jihan's horse-drawn carriage drove fast, and disappeared in an instant engulfed by the night mist. Ambiguous laughter rang out from within the luxurious horse carriage along the way towards the western palace.

"Servant, collect Shaant* as much as possible. Then give it every day to all the harem dwellers and, Haala."

Shaant* is honey from a rare flower that is believed to make women become barren.

"According to your orders, Your Majesty," said Jihan's personal servant while bowing respectfully.

"If you don't allow me to conceive your child, then I will make sure all the women out there are as lucky as I am, Bheim Bhaavesh," Jihan said in her heart as she laughed again.

Seen that afternoon under the apple tree, Haala, some of his men, and a head of the garden manager were squirting the weight of Braheim who was getting exhausted. They all agreed that King Kumari Kandam was exhausted by having to take responsibility alone in ransacking the queen's bed and hundreds of concubines.

Despite the pain of hearing the inevitable reality, there was not much that Haala could do other than join in pretending to smile. Amazingly, any bad gossip related to Braheim, even makes his love for Braheim tickle. Even Haala's wishful thinking of building a happy household with Braheim did not fade in the least.

Haala intended to get out of the group of people who were getting wild to gossip Braheim, but what the head of the gardener said in a whispering tone made him immediately undo the intention. According to the story of the head of the kitchen manager who served food and drinks directly to Braheim, Braheim's weight was reduced because he was fasting.

"Fasting for someone?"

The head gardener nodded in response to one of Haala's men. "Could it be for Her Majesty the Queen?"

"Eitherway. The head of the kitchen was also unsure, but he heard the prayer His Majesty said before breaking the fast." The head gardener asked Haala and his men to come closer to him.

"May my satisfaction with this worldly affair return your wasted year" added the head gardener, imitating Braheim's style of speech.

Haala was stunned, as she felt her heart suddenly rumble violently. It took quite a while for Haala to understand what the prayer of Braheim meant. Despite wanting to see Braheim immediately, Haala held him back so as not to arouse suspicion around. After the situation felt safe, then Haala rode her horse at full speed towards the eastern palace.

After arriving at the eastern palace, Haala had to wait to get permission to enter from Braheim. Haala was allowed to enter, and is now following Murat to the waiting room. It turned out that in a very spacious room it was crowded with many important people who of course had the same purpose as Haala. Haala who felt her visit this time was useless, then chose to return. Yet.

"Commander Haala, His Majesty the King would like to see you first. Go ahead," said Murat.

Haala looked at the surrounding cynical gazes before walking quickly into Braheim's room. "Long live, and be bound always, the sun of Kumari Kandam."

"Other than whining your men this time?"

"Hamba did not come for them, Your Majesty," Haala replied to Braheim.

"Then?"

Haala was silent for a moment. "Something I want to ask, Your Majesty."

"It seems urgent. Say."

Haala was silent again. "What's the reason you're fasting, Your Majesty?"

"Why ti-"

"If the reason is a servant, then please immediately address it right now, Your Majesty," Haala said.

"What ka-"

"The sin of the servant let the servant bear it himself. Please just pay attention to the well-being of Kumari Kandam," interrupted Haala again.

"Wait for du-"

"Then my servant resigned, Your Majesty." Haala bowed as she walked quickly out of Braheim's room.

"Stop there, commander. Before I used my power out of place."
