The Beginning
Kalyana banged on Rajata's room door.
"What's up, Na?" Rajata asked, already in a fresh state.
"You woke up already?"
"Yeah, much earlier," replied Rajata, "I was chilling up and surfing the internet."
"Let’s go to Lidia!" asked Kalyana, "they managed to unravel our complicated memory!" Kalyana exclaimed as she continued walking.
Rajata immediately followed his friend's steps.
In the laboratory, they saw Roel was explaining something to Harso, Bianca, and Karthikeyan. Rajata and Kalyana join them. Wang himself was still busy with his computer.
"Wang finally succeeded in solving the problem to find the time-space coordinates of the overlapping memory timelines," Roel explained, pointing at the screen. The computer monitor displays the tangled patterns that Lidia produces from Kalyana's memory. Roel pushed a button. The crumpled memory began to separate into some tidier graphics.

Legato The Encounter
The dark and quiet atmosphere presented by Lidia slowly changed to reveal the atmosphere of a busy courtyard filled with piles of goods and animals.Little Iswari walked slowly across the palace grounds. No one noticed Iswari's movements as piles of foodstuffs blocked her tiny body from view. Villagers back and forth in and out of the main gate carrying their crops. Everyone is busy with preparations for the ritual of the Sesaji Bumi, which will be led by the father tomorrow morning.At the main gate, she peeked outside through the open door. The streets were full of people passed by. With trembling heart, Iswari stepped out through the gate. For a while Iswari just stood silently at the side of the road, looked left and right, watched the buzz of citizens of the royal capital in the morning. Never before had Iswari set foot outside the palace. Although Iswari repeatedly insisted on seeing the world outside, her father, queen mother, and nannies always forb
Legato Prophecy
“Dinner is ready, My Lady,” said Sukemi at the door.The voice of her personal maid awakened Iswari. It was dark, the room lit only by a few oil lamps. The smell of fragrant incense filled the room. Apparently she fell asleep after taking a shower earlier this afternoon.A little stumbling, Iswari walked towards the door then opened it. Sukemi looked followed by several palace maids brought trays of dishes, waiting to be invited in.“I’m not hungry yet, Sukemi,” said Iswari. “You just tell them to take it back to the kitchen.”A little annoyed that she had awakened from her dream, Iswari witnessed Sukemi and her entourage of maids leaving. The cold air blew refreshingly, instantly made the princess realized how stuffy her room felt.Slowly, Iswari walked down the palace hallway towards the door to the garden. Taking care not to make a sound, she opened the door. For a moment Iswari froze, hesitantly looked at the garden
Legato Accident
Iswari creeped towards the royal stable. Slowly he opened Pavana's stable, her beloved horse, and led it out. For a moment Iswari was silent, thinking about the best move to leave the palace. Finally she made up a plan and immediately spurred Pavana fast.As expected, the gatekeepers were always on the lookout for people trying to get into the palace, but they weren't prepared to deal with people breaking out. The two soldiers fell as they were hit by Pavana's burly body.Iswari drove away from the palace, smiled at the angry cry of the soldiers. They didn't seem to recognize who had barged out. Understandably, as the sun still hasn't risen yet.Years ago Iswari finally managed to find her way to the top of the cliff, the spot where Wirakrama had apparently told her about. Since then she went there frequently to watch various port activities, fantasizing about voyages to foreign lands. Lately Iswari has not visited the place for a long time, and the conversation
Legato Separation
Iswari was in the garden when Sukemi came to see her.“Excuse me, My Lady, I want to convey a message from Senopati Wirakrama,” said the maid.“Senopati Wirakrama?” asked Iswari in surprise. “What is his message?”Politely, the maid held out a palm leaf to Iswari, which her lady took immediately.“Thank you,” said Iswari, who immediately read the writing on the palm leaf without waiting for Sukemi to resign.“If My Lady Iswari is pleased, please take a moment to visit Pavana at the stable, to see his condition.” Those were the words of a row of Pallawa letters on the sheet.Wondered by Wirakrama's message and worried if something happened to her beloved horse, Iswari immediately headed for the royal stable.The stable was deserted, not a single grocer in sight. Presumably they had finished tending and feeding all the horses. Approaching Pavana's stable, Iswari heard the rustl
Legato The Wait
The rumors among the ladies that afternoon were more exciting than usual. Intrigued, Iswari approached her personal maid."What's the news today, Sukemi?""Um, My Lady, there is news that our troops who were sent to fight have returned, but they say, there are a lot of casualties," replied Sukemi politely.Immediately Iswari headed to the top of the hill to check the situation of the port. Her heart sank when she found out that only one royal ship had docked. She hurriedly sped her horse down the hill toward the palace, waiting for their news there.Iswari felt very relieved when she saw Wirakrama on foot leading the marching troops home. His horse is nowhere. Wirakrama and his entire army looked tired and weary. The number of soldiers were also much less than when they left the port back then. Someone who seemed to come from India was seen walking alongside Wirakrama. Behind Wirakrama's army was a line of foreign troops, apparently also from India, who w
Legato Fugitive
The next day, Iswari waited anxiously at the Keputren. She repeatedly sent Sukemi to do various things near the door of the Knighthood or near Father's office.“Princess, what if I clean the area around the pavilion? It so happens that there is no event there today,” suggested Sukemi after completing Iswari's third assignment, understanding her lady’s concern.Iswari nodded in agreement. "Good. Thank you for your initiative and understanding, Sukemi,” she replied with a smile. It was dusk when Sukemi came to face her again."Well, Sukemi, is there a message from Senopati Wirakrama?" asked Iswari without further ado."He asked you to visit the residence of Rsi Jalabadra, My Lady," replied Sukemi.Iswari immediately rushed off to leave, although she was a little surprised by the choice of Wirakrama's place this time."Excuse me, Rsi. I am Iswari. May I ask for permission to enter the house!” exclaimed Iswari at the door of the Rsi's house.
Legato Asleep
Iswari lied weak on the bed."Nagawarman," called Iswari hoarsely."Yes, Mother, what do you need?" Nagawarman answered his mother's call."Would you like to send an envoy to pick up Rsi Jalabadra in Salakanagara? It's been a while since I saw him, and there's something I want to talk to him about.""Yes, Mother, I will go to Salakanagara myself," replied Nagawarman.Nagawarman immediately left for Salakanagara, and two days later, he returned to see his mother with Rsi Jalabadra."Thank you, my son. Let me talk privately with him, for a moment,” asked Iswari.Nagawarman left the room, fulfilling his mother's request."Rsi, how are you?" asked Iswari."I am fine, Iswari, only a matter of age makes this body a little fragile," Jalabadra replied. "How about you, Iswari?""I'm tired, Rsi. Luckily all my tasks and duties have been completed. Only one thing is still on my mind. That is why I ask you to come all the way to Taruma

"Har!" said Bianca sharply."It's okay," said Kalyana to Bianca while softly squeezed the scientist's hand. "Only two more appearances left, right?" she asked Harso. "Let's do it, but I don't want to linger for too long inside the mind of whoever person I posses, especially if she has strong emotion as what Iswari felt. I’m not strong enough to experience it all over again!"Harso nodded and smiled."You owe her an explanation, Har," Bianca said with a sharp gaze."What explanation?" asked Kalyana."Later, after everything is finished," said Harso. “The important thing is now you take a break first.""Alright, let's go back in, we'll finish immediately!" Kalyana said as she stood up and stepped into the capsule.Everyone rushed to their respective tables, while Rajata and Harso entered the capsule.Kalyana returned to focus on the young man who had repeatedly made her heart at the same time blooms and hurts. Before long, the com
