Bang! Abra banged on he table making the water on the glass spilled. The food served spilled from its place. His head felt hot. The man could no longerhold back his emotions, roughly, he opened the contents of the table. Right now, he was in the Main Palace’s dining area in the king’s private room. Prang! Bruak! Utensils and cutlery fell to the floor. “Damn! Why are they making things difficult for me? I really want to kill them all, You Pesky Devil! Abra cursed ignoring the pinned ‘King’ status. Some of the maids looked looked at him trembling, afraid of becoming the target of Abra’s anger. The man rose from his seat glaring at the opened door. Master Kastara went inside with Khandra. He snorted as he shrugged. “Why did he come in?” asked Abra pointing at Khandra. “He is my man,” said Master Kastara “That man is a student of Master Jagat Trengginas, remember!” Abra snapped. ‘It’s bad! What if thy suspect me?’ asked Khandra to himself.
Kayana jumped into the air. He landed on a tree trunk, probing the area around which was covered with bushes. A woman’s voice asking for help was heard. The young man’s eyes widened, saw several bandits pressing on a woman’s body. He then landed with his right leg extended forward kicking o of the men pushing against a woman’s body among three other men.Bugh! “Aww!” a screechig sream from the fierce-faced man who was kicked by Kayana heard. The four of them turned simultaneously to the direction of the rioter. “Pet devil! Who are you to disturb our fun?” shouted one fat body. “What did you do to that poor girl, heh?” Kayana sneered. He glanced at the girl who was almost naked. ‘Oh my God, her body was tempting,’whispered Kayana in a charmed heart. He took a deep breath to get rid of the dirty thoughts that alighted. ‘Stop your dirty thought, Kayana!” He cursed to himself. “Are you okay?” asked Kayana, staring into the girl who shivered in fear. “Scram,
“Give me your body, so I will fulfill your wish, Rengganis.” The voice resonated, making that lady with beautiful face called Rengganis looked up from her sitting heels. She looked into a tranparent, flying in front of her with thick fog cevered her. Rengganis’s black eyes as dark as night looked wet, radiating deep sadness. Thick dust and dirt adorn her face, showing how tormented and oblivious she was for a long time. Watching Rengganis’s dejection, the lady smirked. Her feet stroke the ground first and took steps. “ I can help you taking revenge, whether to that bitch named Madhavi... or to that bastard you called My King Husband Abra.” Rengganis clenched her fist, imagining the face of those two faces who made her life hard as hell. But, seeing that black fog covering her, Rengganis felt that it would be a bad idea to aggree with her. “I don’t trust you,” Rengganis said in alert. Her hand clenched to restain her trembling body.
The queen mother’s accusation on King Abra wasn’t false, well, the swore was absolute true. Kingdom of Baskara used to be led by King Arkha –Leena’s husband. King Arkha had passed away some time ago because of his illness. Rengganis had been enganged to Abra –second prince of kingdom Bamantara- the wedding was accelerated at the elderly’s of kingdom Baskara suggestion, considering the king’s crown was vacant. It would be a great opportunity for the other kingdom to attack. In fact, there were big war on the border. Fortunately, commander Khandra, a gallant you man with the best war tactics, mobilizing his troops under his command to guard and fight the enemies. “Old granny!” king Abra glower the queen mother as if had skinned her alive.”Your daughter was guilty. If you’re still defending her, I have no problem taking your life too.” He grunted, pointed his finger on front of his mother in-law’s face. Queen mother burst into laughter. “Try me if you can!” Queen mo
The cold palace, the farthest tower of kingdom Baskara, an abandoned building, many cobweb and rats roamed. Bad smell filled the air, making the soldiers can’t stand the smell. The cold palace of Baskara kingdom was kind a prison for guilty members of the court before getting punishment for their crime. They would be taken there waiting for the trial. Queen Rengganis laid on a wooden cot. The sunken eyes started to open slowly. She was shocked knowing where she was in a pathetic condition. Queen Rengganis bursted into tears, wailing. Loosing her beloved mother in front of her eyes with such a horrible thing. King Abra was wild, he cut her mother’s neck with no mercy. Queen Rengganis suddenly held her own neck. She felt faint, choking, even hard to breath. Blood spattered, looked clearly when King Abra pulled up and lifted her mother’s head up. “Hang this woman rebel’s head in the square!” the shout was heard before she passed out. Rengganis couldn’t think c
Rengganis body shook violently, cold sweat on her temple. She curled up in fear watching the axis knotting the wooden floor cracked. Rengganis shut her mouth, wining, but still tried to be conscious. All of the sudden, there was a flash, someone quickly moved, jumped off the opened floor. A tall, strong men, stood in front of the cot, looking without expression at Rengganis who’s still in shock. The man was on his armor. His body was full of blood spatter even in his hair down to his face. Rengganis could smell it, but she didn’t care as if his scary and horrible look wasn’t scary at all. Rengganis breathed sigh of relief. She smiled. Unconsciously, tear dropped on her dirty and dusty cheek. “Commander, Commander Khandra,” she called. They’re staring at each other, that stout man put his finger on his mouth, asking her to keep silent. “Queen Rengganis, are you okay?” that stout man whispered, his muscular arm tried to wipe Rengganis tears, but he held it. It
“No!” Rengganis screamed loudly. She opened her eyes. She found a faint and dark atmosphere in the reflection of torch. Berek took a deep look to her queen. Rengganis closed her eyes, neutralized her pounding heart. “Did you just have a bad dream?” Berek helped Rengganis to sit. The beautiful woman looked around. She just realized they were in a cave. She was on rocks at the moment. Her back hurts. Never in her life, Rengganis slept on place like this. She used to sleep on a soft and comfortable bed. She looked outside, dark. Ah, it’s night then, she thought. “Please, have a drink!” the middle-aged lady handed a bamboo glass for Rengganis. She drank it up. “I hear the queen screamed.” Khandra showed up from outside with forewood on his hand. “Ah, it’s alright. She just had a bad dream,” Berek explained. “What do you bring, Khandra?” she asked. The man put the firewood inside the cave, used a torch to lit fire. Middle-aged maid
Rengganis changed her clothe into something more simple. A strand of batik wrapped her body, and a black scarf covered her top body. All of her accessories were removed including the crown so that no one would suspicious when they accrossed villages. Everything was planned in such a way by Aunty Berek. Walking by the river, accrossed bushes, and suddenly the sun had already on top of their head. Rengganis gulped, repressed thirsty and hungry. They hadn’t eaten anything yet and staggered. Rengganis looked up in the clear sky, the birds flew happily, the trees blew by the wind. The lady drank from bamboo bottle. “Is it still far away, Aunty?” Aunty Berek shook her head. “No, My Dear. There were a path in front of us. We’re entering a village. We can stay a little, go to the market and dine,” Aunty Berek answered, “remember, we’re pretending as a family. You cannot blurted her out a queen.” “Yes, Aunty,” they answered unitedly. One of the young men took a rolled clothe, using
