Section 65: King of the Bapati

“Marry me.” The king said it while standing, I could see it even though I was looking down.

Malik looked angry, I held his hand, held back his anger.

“King of Babati, I have no right to answer a proposal question for another woman. Ask him yourself.”

Then King Bapati approached the woman he meant.

“Do you want to marry me?”

Nyai lowered his head deeply, not answering what King Papati had asked of him.

Yes, Raja Batati is famous as a very devout Islamic Jin, so I know when he asks for marriage, it's not me, he's afraid of God, so it's not me that he means, because if I'm what he meant, it means he's violating God's terms, that there's a clear boundary between jinn and humans.

“I am currently protecting Ayi, I cannot do anything without her permission.” Nyai is still down.

“I am not your owner, your heart and your life are yours. Then you have the right to determine all this, if you object, we can leave this palace and find another ally, because for me your heart is the most important Nyai.” I said sincerely.

“I …. “

“You want this wedding?” I asked.

“I want to be by your side.”

“Yes does not need to always be there, you can stay with me even if not always by my side Nyai. If you want to do it, otherwise don't do it.”

“I refuse.” Nyai was still down, really I could not capture the depth of his heart, I did not know he wanted or did not want, because his expression was difficult to guess.

“Alright, then let's go from here, apologize King, we can not qualify you, we say goodbye, thank you for all this special treatment.”

“What else now? Yesterday you said that you couldn't marry me because you had to look after the old and expelled Charisma Jagat, I understand, now the person you're looking after is dead, then still we can't get married?” He's holding us back, it looks like there's a story for both of them. I became the third person for them.

“King Babati, please take care of your emotions, remember you must have authority in front of all your people.”

“I have to wait how much longer? I didn't even have the Queen by my side for hundreds of years waiting for you, now you still keep me waiting. Tell me honestly, has your heart been lost to me?” The king said with sadness. Accidentally I raised my head, Malik noticed it and held my head down to stay down and protected by the hooded Cloak, I accidentally saw King Babati at a glance, but he did not see me.

“Showever Nyai, please. Uda Raja, handsome, loyal again, nyari where the like is.” I slipped, Nyai took my hand and told me to shut up.

“Whisper you!” Nyai said with restraint but full of emphasis.

“I can't wait anymore like this.” The king sat back to his throne.

“I promised Ayi Mahogra to be his Karuhun, he has kept my conditions to help the little girl who is possessed by the devil, I also have to fulfill my promise to become his Karuhun, he said, we will do a big war, I do not want to be busy with my affairs, currently protecting Ayi Mahogra is a priority.” Nyai finally said with a look at King Babati.

“Okay King, I will do things I have never done at all in my life, but I think God will understand. Let's do the deal?” I approached back towards the King's throne, close enough but could not make us see each other's faces.

“Alright, continue, I listen.” King Bapati is quieter.

“If from what I have caught you love each other, then there is no hindrance, other than the destiny of God, then I make a covenant, protect me and my army in battle, after war, I will release one Karuhun that will be yours. This is the covenant that two realms will see. How?”

“Ayi!” Nyai looks angry.

“Submit you to my orders as your Master Ayi.” I hinted him to be quiet, and he looked down again.

“Alright, this is a fair exchange, we will arrange a wedding after the war, I will make sure all my troops and people will help you in the war, he said, you know that we are a member of the Jin people who have above average abilities, we are the highest of its kind. So fighting is our daily life, this forest is controlled not for goodness or giving, we fight for it, then I will protect you with all my efforts.” Raja Bapati turns out to be a handsome, rich, loyal and very romantic King, gosh, this mouth should be slapped for always praising other men, this place is indeed like magic, a dangerous royal territory for a virgin like me, this place is really like magic, if not quickly go I will hurt Malik with a lot of praise, what an incredible kingdom.

“Ayi Mahogra, you guys will stay outside the palace, because I know, for humans, the royal environment must be too glare right?” King of the Bapati quipped. While I laughed quite loudly, because what the King said was true.

“Tighten once you laugh.” Malik looked sullen he seemed to realize I admired the faces of the handsome men in this kingdom, but I have eyes, my heart stays where it belongs.

After parting and returning the hooded cloak I and my men were finally allowed to stay in one of the houses outside the royal area, a house with a large enough area to accommodate my entire army, we will rest a few days here, next we will practice and learn each other's knowledge.

The benefit is that during war, we recognize allies and can keep each other from attacking our own allies because it recognizes the movements, smells and science we use.

The residence provided by the king was very beautiful, I did not have to sleep on wood and straw, we were provided with a soft mattress, I felt that I was staying at the Villa on vacation with my Karuhunku, who were not, maybe if things get better, I'll give them a nice vacation. But among all the people, the ones I miss the most are Mom, Mas Ridho, Mbak Ayu and Seina, there is not a single day without missing them.

…

“What really happened Nyai?” I asked him, he looked glum from earlier, it was already night, the night in this kingdom was very clean, even though this kingdom was rich, but they maintained the beauty of its territory. Because some unseen cities in this country have cities that are much more advanced than the real world, they use wealth to the maximum, luxury cars, skyscrapers, kaun jin genset, and so on, we can all meet if you're allowed in.

But in contrast to this kingdom, all in the care of its beauty, its beauty and the cultures carried, they even still use a golden carriage, horses and transport that uses animal power.

“We knew hundreds of years ago, my grandfather and his grandfather were friends, until his grandfather founded this kingdom, my grandfather as his coach, they built this kingdom together, to become like this. Of course, matching their offspring is a natural thing.

Until it was King Papati's turn to marry one of us, my father's children. I am 6 brothers, we have different abilities, as Ayi knows, my specialty is healing and tricking, different from my sisters, some are very strong, some are very strong, some are very smart and some are very good at strategy.

It was election day, we met at the Crown Prince's appointment party.  All the women are after her in order to become Queen, including all my sisters, I am the youngest.

I was very young, very young, I knew he was handsome and kind, and his achievements in developing this kingdom were very capable. As you said, that he is a perfect man, it is undeniable that I like him and hope he will choose me, but I am less beautiful than my brothers.”

“Hah? You lose pretty? Mean how? You're even tens of times prettier than the most beautiful man in the world, and you say you're less beautiful than them?” I was surprised and quite surprised, if his brothers are more beautiful than him, then the definition of Angel is a proper designation for his family.

“Yes, my sisters are much prettier, even my parents prepare my second brother to be a candidate of the Crown Prince, because my second brother is the most beautiful among these 6 brothers.”

“Wah, amazing, very special family.” I take the fried bananas that have been prepared and drink my coffee, Malik is fighting with the Commander, they are so, very happy to fight, let the important thing not to let anyone mature.

“Then arriving at the appointment, as everyone hoped, King Bapati who was then still a Crown Prince had my second brother, I also felt that they would be compatible. Then my second brother came forward with a loud applause from the guests, but all of that suddenly stopped when Prince Babati said, STOP!!!

Then everyone fell silent, the King walked over and ran towards another woman, my brother number 2 bowed in shame, everyone fell silent, how could this be, how could this be, how could Prince Bapati mispronounce his name and how could he humiliate a most beautiful girl in this kingdom, everyone hoped that Prince Bapati should be wise then, by not making a rejection. Likely, their marriage was actually arranged, so he was tricked into being given my brother's name when he asked me my name, because indeed the marriage of the royal family is always arranged by his family and for the first time a Prince dared to straighten out the mistake and oppose the marriage matchmaking, maybe events like this have experienced many princes before but no one dared to oppose.” He fell down again and cried.

“Is the woman he approached back then you?” I asked carefully.

“I-iya.” Breaking her tears, I hugged her, she was the big sister I loved so much, even though our relationship was not so long ago, her good heart felt so good, she thought of someone else once new to her, she said, just as the condition for being Karuhunku is to help a girl, it is because of her kindness, it is fitting that King Bapati cannot go to another heart, he said, because beauty can be defeated by sincerity that is never timeless.

“You deserve to be happy Nyai, you are hundreds of years apart, you have been yearning for each other hundreds of years, your time together.” I tried to persuade him.

“Let me finish my story, my brother number 2, after this incident became a joke of all the people, he was a person who was embraced because of his beauty, turned into a person who was scorned and insulted, because it was rejected by the Crown Prince blatantly. Then my brother, slowly turning into a bad person, became an evil genie and left this kingdom, all because of me, I shouldn't have teased Prince Papati back then and I shouldn't have married him, not then or at this time.” Nyai back crying.

“We can indeed have our married couple, but it is our heart that chooses who deserves to be loved.” I hugged him, I was confused because I had no solution to the guilt, Nyai Jasmine had to forgive herself then they could be together, I saw Malik and the Commander were patting together, as usual, they both can't win, always draw the result.

At least you and Malik are together now.
