Girl Who Thrown Into Bhumi Javacekwara

Chapters 22. Journey

Sagara rushed up the stairs after receiving a report from his subordinates, stepping vigilantly into Anatari's inn room.

Anatari stood in front of the wide-open window. His black bead was watching into the distance of the forest. "So news from Abinawa?"

"Yuwaraja is on his way here" Sagara reported.

"How is Abinawa and her army?"

Sagara gave me a smile. The veiled woman glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Yuwaraja is fine. They managed to beat back the tenants from Canggal."

"Thank God. That's what we're hoping for."

Sagara turned to the veiled woman standing beside Anatari. "Thank you for your help today. If I may know, who is Nyisanak?"

"You don't know him?" tanya Anatari was astonished.

"Do you know him?" Sagara reverses Anatari's question.

"He who attacked me with gendam" Anatari said.

Sagara was flabbergasted, "You're the mask dancer!"

Lavi opens his veil, saluting a swordsman to Sagara. "I am Lavi Kana, Chief of Guards Gusti Kangjeng Ratu Anatari Lingga."

Sagara. Lavi hides a smile. The door behind Sagara opened, making him step aside immediately. Abinawa rushed in.

"Anatari, what happened?" There was concern in Abinawa's tone.

"I just got an unexpected attack from a woman who claimed to know me. Fortunately, Lavi came to help" Anatari replied.

Abinawa glanced at Sagara, making her Chief Guard bowed in guilt for being off guard. He took a seat at the bale-bale. "How about you, do you know him?" He controlled his tone to be calmer.

Lavi listened carefully.

"Not at all. Even though he mentioned his name, I still did not know him," Anatari replied, indifferently.

Lavi stepped forward to Anatari and Abinawa. "I apologize for the carelessness of Yuwaraja's servant. The woman who had attacked Gusti Kangjeng Ratu Anatari was the daughter of the previous Chief of Guards. His name is Agniya Jalanatra."

Abinawa turned to Anatari who seemed to think hard. "You still don't remember?"

Anatari. "I don't remember. Tell me."

Prior to Lavi's existence as the Chief of the Anatari Guards, Queen Falguni ordered her trusted warrior, Lembu Jalanatra to occupy the position of Chief of the Anatari Guards. Jalanatra cow who has a teenage daughter who is the same age as Anatari, often brings her daughter into the kedaton while she is carrying out her duties.

At first, Agniya Jalanatra was polite and gentle. So that Anatari did not dispute his existence back and forth freely in the environment of the Girilaya palace. In fact, Agniya's status was set to waracethi in the Anatari residence. However, Agniya increasingly become self-forgotten. He was happy to tease the Chief Warriors, making out in the kedaton environment, also often stole heirlooms belonging to the kingdom of Girilaya which he later sold on the black market.

Anatari who was secretly watching, asked the young Lavi to continue to record one by one the mistakes that had been made by the beloved daughter of the Chief Guard. The most unforgivable thing was to leak the existence of Anatari outside the palace to the Sworn Swordsmen who had been expelled to the Canggal region. As a result of Agniya, Anatari who was not escorted at that time had to bear a wound due to an incision in his chest. Yes, the sworn warriors were after the Dragon Mustika who was residing in Anatari's body.

After Anatari recovered, he inflicted punishment on the Chief of the Jalanatra Ox Guard who had boldly replaced his spoiled daughter's death sentence. Because Lembu Jalanatra has the science of swamp ronthe, then the five points of his body were pulled apart by the horse into six pieces and put into a coffin that was hung above an old banyan tree in the forbidden forest. While his head is inside the crater of Mount Mrapen in the territory of Banaspati.

"Now he wants revenge on you" Abinawa said.

Anatari.

Abinawa opened her mouth to say. However, he glanced at the circumstances around him that were not possible because his guards and Lavi were still there. So, he also undoes his intentions.

"Abinawa, I have to give birth. But as I recall we've never done it, have we?" anatari said without shame, making the people there awkward while holding a smile.

Abinawa's face was red. That's what I want to ask, but should you say it vulgarly? The three Abinawa and Lavi guards lowered their heads deeper and deeper, holding back the smile that was about to come out. Abinawa glanced at Sagara, questioning the pile of items on the table. Sagara showed two empty strings. Abinawa let out a weak sigh knowing that two ties full of gold and silver had been spent by Anatari.

"Anatari," call Abinawa.

Anatari.

"Gusti Kangjeng Queen," said Lavi.

Anatari. However, it did not give any response. Drowning in his own thinking.

"Anatari," call Abinawa.

Anatari hit the wooden wall of the inn using his palm, making the people who were there flinch at the sudden loud noise. "I have to see Queen Falguni."

Sagara stared in amazement as well as disbelief. "Are you going to tell Her Majesty Queen Falguni about giving birth to that?"

"of course. My aunt should know. Only he is my family left" Anatari said.

Sagara and Lavi turned to the weakly smiling Abinawa helplessly with a dead red face. Embarrassed.

Abinawa immediately took control of herself, changing the subject. "The trip to Girilaya takes one day and one night."

"I'll ride non-stop. It should be able to arrive in just one day," Anatari interrupted, excited.

Abinawa stood up and said, "I will accompany you."

"I'd better go with Lavi. Kertarta needs you," Anatari refused.

"I've managed to repel the enemy and provide a magical fence in the border area with the Canggal forest. There shouldn't be any more problems. Besides Sagara, Taruna, Wiba, and Tambir will be on guard here" Abinawa said.

Anatari thought for a moment before replying, "Alright. Then let Lavi stay on guard here."

Lavi's face immediately changed. "Am I allowed to return to the Gusti Putri's side?"

"Because you're here, you better not go anymore" Anatari said.

Abinawa secretly gave Sagara a code of head movements. Sagara responded with a faint nod.

"Hamba will carry out Gusti Kangjeng Ratu's decree."

...***...

Anatari and Abinawa make a night trip around the outer Canggal region to reach the Girilaya region tomorrow. The yellowish light bias of the magical fence made by Abinawa occasionally gives off a dazzling glow when there are dedemites trying to break out.

They continued to spur the horse's pace while on the outermost side of the Canggal region. Trying to leave the place as soon as possible.

"Daughter Wrestling."

"Free us. Don't leave us, Gusti Princess!"

The voices began to harass Anatari. He searches around it.

"We're here, Princess Gusti."

"Did you hear it?" anathari asked Abinawa who was driving the horse behind him.

"Stay alert."

Laughter from a deep and raucous voice crept through the open air. Anatari felt that nature was laughing at him.

"Free them. That way you will gain freedom for your own soul. Free Anatari. Free me. Clean me up."

It's not the sound of nature. A pair of flaming orange eyes came towards Anatari from the front surrounded by a dense gray fog. The surprised Anatari pulled the reins excessively, as a result of which the horse he was riding raised both of his front legs high while neighing in panic. Anatari's body was blown into the air that Abinawa had reached in time.

"You okay?" ask Abinawa.

Anatari looked up at the confusion. "What?"

Two pairs of eyes stared at each other. The heart pounding beats dance in the same rhythm, toned and regular. Abinawa tightened her left hand grip on Anatari's waist.

Anatari swallowed nervously. "I'm just surprised."

"I knew. Don't mind."

The breath of Abinawa that hit the side of Anatari's cheeks made the fine fur on his body stand up. His stomach twisted a taste that wanted to make him fly.

Abinawa glanced at Anatari who kept watching her. He took the initiative to lower his face in order to reach Anatari who was standing frozen.

Anatari did not expect that Abinawa would push him away until he fell. His outstretched hand resisted the attack from the caping-hatted man covered in black cloth.

"It was unexpected that you would follow me so far" Abinawa said.

The man snorted, then again attacked Abinawa. Anatari watched the fight of the two. The man launched fierce and brutal attacks - like a trained fighter, but none of his attacks managed to injure his opponent. Abinawa did not retaliate much, only occasionally attacking and successfully hitting the vital point of her opponent.

"Go away. I'll catch up with you, "let Abina know.

"There is a spectacle as good as this one which can be missed" Anathari said.

Abinawa rolled her eyes. If Anatari wanted a good spectacle, Abinawa would give it away. He smiled arrogantly at his opponent, then attacked back fiercely. The man in the caping hat began to be overwhelmed with Abinawan moves. Abinawa concentrated energy, attacking opponents with the study of the Silk Road. The man in the hat who was about to escape was hit on his knee. Instantly his body fell very hard, moaning helplessly on the ground like a wounded buffalo.

Anatari ran over. "You managed to beat him. Who do you think this guy is?" Anatari opened the caping cap covered in black cloth, lowering down the black piece of cloth that covered half the face of the defeated man.

"uh? Is he not Ekawira" cried Anatari.

Abinawa was riveted with disappointment.

Ekawira stared sadly as well as angrily. "They killed my grandmother. Yuwaraja did not keep the promise to take care of her. Hukes. Huk." Fresh blood flowed out from Ekawira's gaping mouth. The aura of life had been washed away from his jet black bead.

Anatari squatted checking it out. The blue mark on the tip of Ekawira's fingers shows how he ended his life. "Poisons. He's already planned it." Anatari muttered on his palm. Amber yellow light appeared instantly followed by several fireflies that quickly flew away. "Sagara will be here soon to take care of Ekawira's body."

Abinawa covered Ekawira's face with a cap. He stood up without saying a word.

"Until when are you going to hide this? Keep the enemy secret that continues to target you," said Anatari.

"Until I know who is behind it all" replied Abinawa, bitter.

Anatari was concerned about the state of Abinawa. A Crown Prince who has to make a show - weak and sickly - in order to protect the position of his half-brother, even he has to bear the danger himself from the enemy who is after his life.

"Anatari," call Abinawa.

Anatari found Abinawa standing next to his horse that had been knocked down. Seeing him, Anatari smiled for a moment.

...***...

Fajr dawns on the eastern horizon. Hastily, horse-drawn steps down the village streets leading Anatari and Abinawa to Kedaton Girilaya on the highest hilltop.

The two descended before the main gate of the Girilaya kedaton, handing their steed to one of the gatekeepers.

"Welcome to my house, Abinawa," muttered Anatari.

Abinawa looked in all directions. Observing each curve and angle of the Girilaya kedaton that has a shoulder structure. The magnificent structure of the building is made of stone temples that are arranged in various sizes.

Much different from the kedaton Javacekwara which has many winding roads in the palace. In Girilaya, the widest main road consists of two parts: a flat road and a stone staircase that stretches straight up to the top, leading to the main building of the palace.

The soldiers stood guard with full weapons. No friendly face emanated from every individual he met. They saluted in unison and compact as Anatari and Abinawa passed before them.

There is no beauty of wet gardens that decorate the environment. There are no colorful flowers that bloom in various colors and looks. There are only a few large trees and medium-sized shade trees planted in potted earthenware and fountains.

"It feels empty and empty. Don't you feel it, Abinawa?" anatari.

Abinawa halted the move, turning her back. Observing the Girilaya kedaton from a height. A cold wind blew towards him.

There is no happiness, only sadness.

As soon as Abinawa turned her back to her original position, an arrow shot near the tip of her nose.
