On the back porch of the king's room...
"Prince, there are some things I want to ask you," I said.
We sat close together and stared at the small garden behind the king's room. There is also a shower that continues to flow non-stop. It may have served as a therapist so the king could sleep well at night.
"Ask, I will answer as I can." Zu looked enthusiastically responding.
I don't know where to start this question. I think my question will have a little bit to do with his personal affairs. And I'm afraid there will be misunderstandings later on. But, because my curiosity was so high, I just asked what was in my heart.
"Prince, I saw something strange about the king. Her hair was still black, but why could her skin be wrinkled like that, huh?" ask me to vent.
Zu sighed. "Let's know, I don't know about it. But the palace healer said my father was aging prematurely." Zu hesitated to answer.
Early aging? I was surprised by the answer given by Zu. Does this have anything to do with the queen's conversation at the back door of the palace?
"Em, Prince. Just then when I went into the king's room, suddenly my legs were stumbling and I felt something strange in the statue's urn." I'm continuing.
"You mean the white urn statue in the corner of my father's room?" tanyanya seraya.
"He-it." I'm nodding.
"The jar had a queen mother and had been in my father's room for a long time" he replied immediately.
"Suri's mother?"
"Yes, I mean the queen now. She's my stepmother. My birth mother is gone, Ara." Zu looked sad.
What's?!
I was surprised to hear it. It turns out that Zu no longer has a mother.
"Sorry, Prince. I don't know," I said regretfully.
"Nothing." He rubbed my head. "Now you're taking care of me. You're willing, aren't you?" Zu held my hand.
I don't know why I feel sorry for him. I also want to know more about him.
"Prince, I don't want to accuse. But, it would be nice if the king's medicine was stopped," I said.
"discontinued? Did you feel anything?" tanyanya seriously.
"Em .. I don't know the truth. But I feel that the medicinal herb is not a cure instead." I'm trying to be honest.
"But .. the drug was a gift from a trusted palace physician. Is he probably mean to be ugly?" Zu tried to trace my words.
"So I saw a little green snake jumping at me, while taking one of the pills. But apparently, the snake did not really exist. However, when I tried to check the condition of the king's body, I saw several snakes lodged in his stomach."
"What?!!" Zu was surprised.
"Sorry, Prince. I don't know if this is true or not. But I can feel a bit of weirdness going on. Maybe the Prince wants to investigate this himself." I give you advice.
I don't know what Zu was thinking, it seems like he believed my words. Why lie to him anyway, there's no profit I get.
"What do you think I should do?" tanyanya while looking seriously at both my eyes.
I'm actually afraid of mispronouncing. This is not in my world. In my world alone if one spoke wrongly, thousands of haters would attack. I don't know if in this world.
"alright. I'll investigate." He smiled and took me back to his father's room.
I don't know if this works or not. May God help me solve this mystery.
Then I went back to the king's room. I was asked by Zu to sleep on the sofa in front of the bed. Zu and Shu accompanied his father to sleep. They stood on the right and left sides of the king. And suddenly I was moved to see it for myself.
Dad, I hope you're okay there. Forgive me for not being able to return home. There is still a lot of unresolved work here. May father, mother, Adit and Anggi be healthy always there. The prayer of Ara.
I close tonight with prayer, wishing tomorrow was better. I also pray for my two princes, may they always be healthy there.
Rain ... Cloud, I have a job here. Let me stay in Asia longer. There's something I need to solve before I get back into space. I love you guys.
The night is getting late. The goddess finally fell asleep in her dream and beautiful wishful thinking. He began to feel at home in this new palace. His heart was moved to solve the mystery. His curiosity was so great about what happened. The universe has given its good intentions.
While in Space...
The green-robed minister came to Sky who was sitting in front of his desk. The king was massaging his own forehead.
"Your Majesty." The minister greeted Sky.
"Mr Shane, has there been any word from the special forces we sent to Asia?" sky asked immediately, as soon as he realized his minister was present.
"I'm sorry, Your Honor. No news from them yet." Shane lowered his head.
Sky stood up. "Did they have trouble entering that Asian palace?" Sky muttered to himself.
"Your Majesty, the last news of the special forces has arrived near the palace. But it might be true as His Majesty said, they are having a hard time entering that palace." Shane continues.
"Is it possible that his guard is further tightened?" Sky argued.
"I know little about it, Your Majesty. But it could have happened if Miss Ara was really there." Shane responded.
"Yes, I think so too. The formation had already been set up in such a way as to ensure the existence of the girl. But it seems, it's not easy for us to be sure whether or not Ara is there." Sky was back in his chair.
Shane is sorry. He just quietly listened.
"Then what about the Flower Country, are they still delaying its arrival?" ask Sky again.
"His Foreign Minister said that the Flower Country was the arrival of an honorary guest from Asia. So that the time of the visit to the Space is postponed first. That's all I can say, Your Majesty." Shane explained.
"Hm, it looks like the two countries are very close." Sky spoke for himself.
"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" ask Shane again.
"No, thank you." Sky smiled at his minister.
The minister immediately withdrew from the presence of Sky. While the king is still looking for other alternatives to ensure the existence of Ara, whether it is in Asia or not. He does not want to take any wrong steps or rush this.
Sky was worried that the slightest mistake could trigger a cold war or even a major war between the two countries. Moreover, currently Space has not been able to match the military power of Asia. He kept thinking, looking for the best solution for his two sons.
Cloud, Rain .. be patient. Dad's still trying. Hopefully after getting certainty, we can act for the next. In the meantime I want to make sure, whether or not Ara is there.
As a father, I want the best for my children. And Sky has done everything possible for his two sons. Although tired because of age, but not a little dampen his intention to make the beloved son happy. This is how a father struggles for his children.
