Girl Who Thrown Into Bhumi Javacekwara

Chapters 18. Assignments

The land of Jawi is drenched in the abundant light of the sun, breaking the curtains of fog that still flows from the hills. Cold air pierced the skin began to decrease when the warmth of divine light fell on the body of Anatari who stood on the fortress of the main gate of Kuthanegara. A pearl-black bead glowed brightly staring at the Falguni horse-drawn carriage motorcade snaking out below. Anatari recalled last morning's meeting with his aunt in Mahesa's carriage

In front of the man, Falguni asked Anatari to approach Sri Maharaja II and Abinawa, in an effort to gain the trust of both. As a means of carrying out its actions, the Falguni releases barriers on the Anatarian meridian. Not everything. Falguni promised to do it gradually.

The long inhibited path of the Anatarian meridian made his body tremble weakly, powerless to receive a sizable flow of energy. However, the energy was instantly reduced a lot as if someone was devouring it round and round. As a result, Anatari was pale instantly and helplessly made. Falguni was flowing healing energy, but it was not so influential because the healing energy was instantly reduced shortly after entering his nephew's meridian path.

Falguni stared fixedly at Anatari. The tip of his tongue felt like saying a few sentences. But he kept it in him. Anatari was left without knowing what had happened inside him.

Anatari breathes long and slowly. I'm sorry for what you expect of me, I probably won't be completely embarrassed. I came into this world with my own purpose. I will only do what I can in my efforts to reduce sin in this life. My presence here is only for a moment. Any matter that is not related to me, I do not want to take part in it. I'm not interested in taking down or changing any history, because it's not my job.

Anatari catches Lavi riding a brown mare beside Falguni's horse-drawn carriage. The woman looks healthy. Occasionally look over the shoulder, towards the gate.

"Not willing to have a farewell meeting, instead preferring to observe secretly, you really have heart" Abinawa said.

"It is not as hard as you that let a woman sleep in a bale-bale as hard as a tile" Anatari said.

Abinawa smiled with satisfaction. "Don't blame me. You yourself refused to sleep one bed with me."

Anatari turned his face away. "Thank you for letting Lavi stay alive."

Abinawa watches the Falguni horse-drawn carriage. "I don't remember ever saying I'd kill him."

"Indeed. It was just my fear. If he were to do harm because of me .. I would never be able to forgive myself." Anatari's eyes dewy.

As Anatari touches Lavi's hand, he sees the end of the girl's life on the gallows. The mastermind behind Lavi's death sentence is Anatari Lingga who does not want his true identity revealed. One of the first crimes that Anatari Lingga committed after obtaining his new title, took out his right hand.

Fortunately, Anatari was able to save the girl by going to meet Indukanti to ask for forgiveness for Lavi's soul. A bit of a sad story of Lavi's life story, and a play full of Anatari's passion, was finally able to save the girl's life. Sri Maharaja II also succeeded in melting in the persuasion of Indukanti. Lavi was acquitted of the sentence in Bhumi Javacekwara, but not in Bhumi Girilaya.

Punishing Lavi in Bhumi Girilaya is actually no better than a prison sentence in Bhumi Javacekwara. But, yes, Anatari felt a little relieved that Falguni would not do anything to the young girl. Falguni never gave anyone any punishment. During his twenty-year reign, he succeeded his elder brother, King Aryarajasa, who died at the hands of Sri Maharaja I twenty years ago.

It was Anatari Linga who was the only person in the Girilaya palace who was happy to impose punishment on those who were considered a threat. The majority of those considered criminals will be confiscated of their property, burned down their homes, and exiled.

If Anatari Lingga was so disrespectful to the girl, then I would have done the opposite.

"It sounds like you've learned how to respect others" Abinawa told Anatari.

"Yes. I learned many new things that opened my eyes to the truth. A truth I did not expect. But in this world nothing is constant, Abinawa. Everything can change at any moment, including me. I just don't know how to treat that girl yet" Anatari said.

"There has never been a saying that says a single reason about the prohibition of kinship with someone who does not have a blood bond with us. It could be, that's what a woman named Lavi wants" Abinawa said.

Anatari. "He's too good for a sinner like me. Better he stay away. I don't want to drag him back in danger."

"Thank God you realized it" murmured Abinawa. It was not an ordinary mutter as Anatari was still able to hear it clearly.

Anatari looked seriously, realizing something. "Either why do I feel your words lead to what you know. You're investigating my background? How far?"

Abinawa. "Investigate your background. Hemph ... You gave me a good idea, given how inconsistent you are. Do you want me to suspect your intention to marry me? You really want me to do it?"

Anatari began to suspect. "Say it clearly, Abinawa. You really investigated my background?"

"You think?"

Anatari glanced at Abinawa's free left hand. He grabbed it, hoping to see deep inside the man. Revealing all the things Abinawa knew about Anatari's identity in her point of view.

Both Abinawa Eyebrows are adrift. "You refused to sleep with me, but dared to touch me. Incredibly unstable of your attitude."

Anatari looked down, at a loss for words. His hands were tied to the hand he was wearing. Why can't I look inside him. What's wrong? Could my strength be weakening?

The power of 'looking deep into one' is the only special ability Anatari Kemala realizes. The only way to get information about himself and the people around him without needing to ask much. So far it's been very effective. But ....

Why not work for him?

Abinawa turned her left hand, so detached it immediately grabbed Anatari's chin. "Whatever are you going to do to me? It won't do any good. Just save your energy for something more useful." Abinawa releases Anatari with a slight blow, then passes away.

Anatari looked at the man's back. His forehead is crinkling deep. Wiradharma. You're not who I thought you were.

I am also worthy to say the same to you, the inner Abinawa.

...***...

Today, Abinawa was released from the morning meeting at Pendopo Ageng. He and Anatari were sitting at a table that held a variety of dishes from vegetables. Yep. Just vegetables.

A disaster for Anatari.

Anatari Kemala is a carnivore. He likes a variety of meat. One type of vegetable he likes is spinach. Meanwhile, Abinawa, a true vegetarian. He only ate vegetables to keep his stomach healthy. Because processed meat-based foods often make the stomach feel uncomfortable. At least that's what Abinawa often complained about.

The perfect incompatibility, right.

Anatari observed Abinawa eating some dishes unhurriedly. His expression was illegible. Anatari became doubtful, whether it tasted good or not. He took one by one the dishes. There is no food that stirs his taste.

"Can the kitchen cook meat?" pinta Anatary.

Abinawa hung Anatari's question long enough. After his rice ran out, he just replied, "I don't like meat. They won't make it. I'm done. Spend everything. I don't like wasting food."

Anatari let out a weak sigh as he muttered, "That's right."

Abinawa had just stepped on the front porch as Sagara waved from inside the garden gazebo. Abinawa shook her head, signalling Sagara not to approach her. So Abinawa walked up to the Chief of Guard.

"Yuwara." Sagara gave his respect.

Abinawa replied with a light nod. "How's it?"

Sagara gives a small roll of bark Dluwang wood tied by a small brownish strap. The Kawi script was presented as soon as Abinawa opened the paper scroll.

This name.

Abinawa's eyebrows are tightly intertwined. His hand squeezed the little paper, then threw it into the fish pond.

Sagara observed his juncture expression. "Is that bad news?"

"You didn't read it before me?"

"Namein" Abinawa turned her attention elsewhere.

"The man is a spy from Namaini" said Sagara.

Abinawa. "Not necessarily sure. Tell Ekawira to stay alert."

"Sendiko."

"Are you talking about Kangmas Mahesa?" ask Abinawa, for a moment.

"The position is in Guha Dhawahan. It looks like he will be meditating for some time" Sagara reported. "Do you need to watch her?"

"no need. Currently Ekawira and Taruna are not there. If you leave too, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion. Order the Taruna back to the kedaton. About Mahesa, let it go first" Abinawa said.

Abinawa saw a trusted courtier whose father was crossing the front yard. The old man seemed too focused on the open door of acceptance, so was unaware of Abinawa's existence in the outside gazebo.

"Regarding the password in the store ...?"

"It's still safe. No one knows yet. Is there an order for him? I will deliver as soon as possible" said Sagara.

A female courtier ran into the gazebo. Abinawa watched him while telling Sagara to have the password watch over Lavi Kana.

Sagara saluted her, stepping out the gazebo, coinciding with the arrival of the forty-year-old woman who informed her that a courtier of Sri Maharaja II was waiting for Abinawa.

Abinawa returned to her home. Anatari was still there. Both received orders to immediately go to Pendopo Ageng.

Without having to wait for long, Abinawa and Anatari were already there. Overlooking Sri Maharaja II and the top officials of the kedaton. Both are respectful.

Sri Maharaja II said that something is currently happening in the Canggal region. The royal higher-ups could not go to that place, as Canggal was a free territory that had no cooperative relationship whatsoever with Bhumi Javacekwara.

The reason for Abinawa and Anatari's election was because the Canggal region was a place of exile for Sworn Swordsmen who defected from Girilaya. Anatari clearly had a relationship with the defectors there.

This task was actually intended specifically for Anatari. As a testator of his loyalty to Bhumi Javacekwara. However, just sending himself to that place would definitely cause a big question mark in the mind of Falguni who spread a lot of code in the Land of Jawi. Therefore, Abinawa is included only as a formality of the recipient of the task.

"What tasks should we do there, Your Majesty?" ask Abinawa.

"Find out the source of the problem. If it is felt that it will endanger our people near the border area, you must immediately resolve the source of the problem without causing new problems" said Sri Maharaja II.

"Sendiko dawuh."

Sri Maharaja II turned to Anatari. "And you, Anatari, be with your husband because there is no one as good as you in understanding the Canggal region."

"Sendiko dawuh."

Upon his return from Pendopo Ageng, Abinawa ordered the courtiers to pack the goods needed for him and Anatari while in Canggal.

"Sagara, pack your things, too" told Abinawa.

"Hamba has packed the things that I need" said Sagara.

Anatari raised his eyebrows high. "So fast?"

Sagara smiled kindly. "Actually the servant always prepares the necessary items when there is a task out of the palace that is told suddenly."

"You're very alert" praised Anatari.

"No. It was just a servant's attempt not to hinder Yuwaraja's duties."

"So understanding" praised Anatari again.

"Hamba learned it from Yuwaraja."

Anatari glanced at Abinawa who had deliberately avoided his gaze. "It was unexpected."

Abinawa straightened her shoulders.

A simple horse-drawn carriage and thirteen horses marched out through the main gate of Kuthanegara. Although this was a journey of duty, but Anatari felt unusually happy. Go explore the land of Jawi which is still controlled by the wilderness. Travel like wandering warriors. Visiting a residential area that is still rare and simple. Try the oldest food that became the forerunner of food in the millennial era. Meet residents who may be one of them is the ancestors.

Anatari was ready to go on his adventure.

Anatari can't wait to start the first thing he wants most, looking for a diner that serves a variety of processed meat dishes.

Occasionally he stuck his head out the window which was covered by a sheet of emerald green. Pesawahan berundak accompanied the flow of water that falls resembles a small waterfall to each step until finally gliding into a small ditch, providing comfort like returning to the hometown. The forest offers a pristine view of nature. Almost along the way the birds fly, unpretentious alternately. The hills in the distance are like giant pillars of plants supporting the sky. A stream of small rippling rivers accompanies on one of the shoulders of the red dirt road, giving it a soothing rhythm.

Anatari endlessly incised a smile of relief at the opportunity to see all the natural beauty that is still in harmony and awake.

Abinawa glanced at Anatari sitting opposite her, developing her smile.

"How long have we traveled to Canggal?" Anatari closed the window.

Abinawa smiles. "When taken using a horse carriage will take four days. On condition that no obstruction whatsoever occurs."

"Instance in what form? The begal? The tenant?"

"More dangerous than you think."

Anatari fell silent, thinking about what was the most dangerous thing compared to the robberies committed by criminals in the middle of the forest. However, nothing else was thought of by him.

"How long does it take to get to Canggal when departing from Girilaya?" test Abinawa.

Anatari thought harder, but his head was smoky. He doesn't know at all. "I haven't been to that place in a long time. So, a little forgot."

Abinawa raised one eyebrow with one corner of her lips rising. "Forgot?" He grunts. "It's okay. Do you have any advice on what to do if circumstances demand that we enter Canggal territory?"

Anatari glanced to the right while biting his lower lip. Honestly, he had no idea about it at all. "I can't imagine. You have to look at the situation at the moment. To be sure, whatever your plan is, I will help you with my best efforts. You take it easy, I won't smear your face in front of Sri Maharaja."

Abinawa turned her face out the window. Obviously not knowing what to do. "alright. I hold your word."

Anatari nodded confidently, though his heart doubted his own words.
