150. Rex Siuman

Unbeknownst to princess Kenanga, behind the wall is seen Prince Jareka holding back anger while clenching his hands when he found out what his second wife did to Hadini.

From the beginning, Prince Jareka was suspicious of Princess Kenanga. That was because several times he saw the wife giving a certain signal to her bodyguard who mixed among the guests.

Furthermore, Prince Jareka kept smiling throughout the event even though his heart screamed in pain. Beside him, the wife looks welcoming the presence of the guests.

Rex gasps in shock as he is shown a scene of prince Jareka chasing Princess Kenanga in a vast meadow. In the distance were seen the guards and the ladies standing up while cheering happily to encourage the two masters who were chasing.

Rex knew exactly what was happening. At that time, Prince Jareka was chasing his wife, not with a happy laugh but with a gaze full of anger. The man deliberately stalled for time because he wanted his wife to admit her actions. It was very easy to catch his wife and execute her. In front of her, Princess Kenanga screamed in fear when she realized her husband was going to kill her.

" What's my fault, why are you like this...?!" asked Princess Kenanga as she continued running.

" Are you scared ?. Then what about my wife who is alone when facing the archery troops you sent to kill her...?!" ask prince Jareka.

Prince Jareka's words surprised Princess Kenanga. He was furious when the husband called another woman his wife.

" You call her Wife, then what about me ?. I'm your wife too. But as long as we're married not even once have you touched me...!" princess Kenanga said furiously.

" I'm not interested in a bad, spoiled woman like you...!" sahut prince Jareka is cynical and it offends Princess Kenanga.

" If you don't like me why would you marry me...?!" princess Kenanga started crying.

" You forced me to marry you after getting rid of all the empress candidates proffered for me. But you get angry when you find out I've married the woman I loved long before we got married. And on our wedding day you sent your secret army to kill my wife. Just so you know Kenanga. For me the woman who deserves to be my wife is only Hadini. Just Hadini...!" prince Jareka said loudly.

Prince Jareka's words made princess Kenanga angry. He screamed and stopped running. After that she turned her body to face her husband.

" I hate you Jareka !. I thought by marrying you then the happiness I could have, but I was wrong. You never even treated me as your wife for a second...!" said Princess Kenanga.

" Acknowledge your deeds, then I will forgive you and give you a chance to live..," said Prince Jareka flat while staring at Princess Kenanga fixedly.

" I did it for you. Imagine how people would react when they found out you had another Wife besides Me. After all she is not a good woman, she is just a killer." said Princess Kenanga trying to defend herself.

" It's none of your business !. All you do is for yourself. I'm more proud to acknowledge Hadini as my wife because she kills to maintain her pride as a woman and as a wife. As for you, you killed people to fulfill your ambitions and it was done in a cunning way...!" prince Jareka was angry.

The debate of the newlyweds was not heard by the guards and maids in the distance. They thought that the master would do a romantic scene after getting tired of running. Not wanting to disturb them, they got out of the place.

" I did kill him because I envy him. You flattered it as high as the sky without thinking about my feelings." said Princess Kenanga lirih.

" I did it so you could back off and cancel our marriage. But apparently you are too ambitious to be my wife..," said Prince Jareka.

" I'm your queen, not your ordinary wife...!" said Princess Kenanga.

" Presidential empress..," sahut prince Jareka asserted.

Princess Kenanga's words made Prince Jareka speechless. Thinking that the husband had been destroyed and forgiven her, Princess Kenanga also approached the husband. Then she put her arms around her husband's neck and landed a kiss on the face of Prince Jareka.

Princess Kenanga grew bolder when she felt Prince Jareka return her embrace. He kissed the husband's lips greedily. When Princess Kenanga was lulking with that intoxicating kiss, she suddenly felt a great pain in her back. His chest felt moist as if water was soaking his clothes.

Princess Kenanga unraveled her embrace. He was shocked to realize that the liquid that was soaking the front of his clothes was blood coming from his chest. And the pain he felt earlier came from the dagger belonging to prince Jareka stuck in the back to penetrate the chest.

" To... why...?" asked Putri Kenanga while staring at the husband.

" I let you kiss me to fulfill your right as my wife. But I cannot forgive what you did that killed Hadini." said Prince Jareka coldly.

Princess Kenanga fell to her knees while crying. He felt his sacrifice was in vain. As if he could read the wife's mind, Prince Jareka bent his body and whispered something in Princess Kenanga's ear.

" What you do by killing the empress candidates and also my wife is not sacrifice but evil. Therefore you are not worthy to be my wife let alone my queen..," whispered Prince Jareka while plucking his dagger from Princess Kenanga's back.

When the dagger was pulled from her back, Princess Kenanga let out a pained cry and fell to the ground in a sideways position. Blood flowed more and more from the two holes of the prince's former dagger.

" I have avenged your death, my dear. Forgive me for making you suffer as my wife. I love you Hadini, always and forever.," murmured prince Jareka as he looked up at the sky.

There were no tears streaming down the prince's face. When he turned to the side, he found Princess Kenanga had died with her sideways position and both eyes open. Prince Jareka left the place without looking again.

Rex let out a long sigh watching the murder before his eyes. When Rex opened his eyes he was somewhere else.

Rex is surprised to see the colorful dust he encounters when Hadini's body is destroyed in the vicinity of Zada.

Rex sees the teenage Zada running away from Tako, his stepfather. At that time Zada was inside the house and almost harassed by Tako. Rex sees that the dust of Hadini's body's incarnation protects Zada from Tako's reach and even helps him get out of the house through the locked door.

Zada was stranded on the side of the road in hungry conditions and shabby clothes. Residents also seem to be unable to do anything because Zada will rampage if approached. But when Rusminah came to him, Zada was smiling. Even Zada accepted the gift of Rusminah with pleasure. Afterwards Zada followed the Russinah secretly and observed her from afar. That's why Zada is often seen around the Rusminah house first.

Rex smiled watching the kindness of the grandmother turned out to be able to 'touch' Zada. At that time Rex was convinced that the mystery of Zada's death would soon be revealed after this.

But suddenly Rex felt pain all over his body as if something was pulling him violently. Rex gasped in surprise and opened his eyes.

At that time Rex found himself in a white room alone. Rex is confused when he realizes his body is wrapped in a bandage like a mummy. A moment later he saw two doctors enter the room and perform various examinations on his body.

" Thank God the patient. His condition is stable. We can tell his family now" one of the doctors said with a smile.

" Right doc. After this the patient can be transferred to a regular inpatient room..," said another doctor.

Rex could not recognize the two doctors because they were wearing masks on their faces. Rex closed his eyes again because he felt very sleepy. Even so, Rex's ears can still hear whatever sounds are around him.
