Pride of Indonesia's

POI 22 - The Sultan

After reuniting with Daisy and Henzie, Aditya does not forget to introduce them both to Wilhelm and Satria. They shook hands so that within a few minutes they were all immediately familiar, Satria initially did not expect that Aditya who used to hate the Dutch now he was even with two Dutch women, Satria, maybe women change everything.

"This is the first time I've seen a close friend, Aditya. Have you been right about friends since time immemorial?" Daisy asked Satria, "Of course, she was very firm and hard and she's been terrible ever since but now I can see some changes from her."

"Oi.. Don't talk too much about myself, you don't have any changes, Satria." Aditya is visibly upset when Satria talks about herself to Henzie and Daisy, Satria and Wilhelm were surprised when they saw Aditya's development of attitude in which he showed a shy and upset attitude when he talked about himself in front of the two girls.

Satria started patting Wilhelm on the back several times because of the pleasure that he could not bear when he saw Aditya had two bini from an outside country, "Henzie and Daisy huh...? Are you the wife or girlfriend, this handsome and dashing Raden?" Satria asked while pointing at Aditya who was looking around the city of Yogyakarta which looks very crowded.

When Satria spoke like that, the faces of Henzie and Daisy started to turn red even their expressions also looked like hiding embarrassment was also awkward, not a single word came out through their mouths so Satria held back her laughter because they seemed to love Aditya equally, "Pffftt... Uhugh..." Said Satria slowly.

"Already, since we've had quite a long journey, let's have breakfast. Eat Breakfast!" Wilhelm looked at the warteg across the street, "How about we eat there?" Wilhelm asked as he pointed at the warteg, they all started to agree and then they went to the warteg for breakfast.

After they arrived at the warteg, Satria ordered some food because they were up to want to eat anything as long as it was healthy and nutritious for the body. Aditya looks very alert with his surroundings because there are so many Indonesians who are doing their activities, Henzie began to look at Aditya and can read his mind.

"You don't have to be that wary, Aditya. I can find the man who has Mana, if I feel one of them then let me guard you from behind, now you just need to rest for a moment. You must have been attacked, right?" Ask Henzie.

"That's how all this time I understood why Wahyudi attacked me and I also knew his true identity as well as the truth behind the mask he always used." Aditya began to tell Wahyudi's identity in detail to Henzie so that he now understood, Wahyudi really targeted the people of Indonesia who have great Mana abilities... that means Aditya could have been forced to become a military soldier or killed by being shot mysteriously.

"But at least you survived, Aditya, I was also happy to see you have your old friend and American friend." Henzie smiles.

The breakfast ordered by Satria was quite excessive because he ordered five [Gudeg], gudeg is a typical meal and one made of young jackfruit cooked by taking hours to make this dish. The brown color is usually produced by the leaves being cooked together. Gudeg is eaten with and served with condensed coconut milk sauce, chicken kampung, egg, tempeh, tofu, and fried sambal .

It looked quite delicious until they started taking their spoons and then eating the Gudeg, the reaction of their faces looks the same, Aditya whose expression looked serious immediately turned to calm when he saw Daisy and Henzie were enjoying the taste of Gudeg.

"So this is 'is... meant by Satria...? Relax a little.. Calm down..." Aditya said he began to eat the Gudeg so that his eyes were wide open and he began to eat it until it ran out.

When they had eaten their breakfast, they immediately left the warteg, Wilhelm told Daisy and Henzie that now everything would go for a vacation such as visiting various tours, Daisy and Henzie of course immediately agreed because he wanted to explore all the tours in the country of Indonesia.

Wilhelm deliberately told Satria to sit in front with himself, Satria did not need to be told about it because he had planned it from the beginning. Wilhelm opened the front door and sat down on his chair and started the engine, Satria sat next to him and then he looked at the rearview mirror where he saw Aditya sitting in the middle while Daisy on his right and Henzie on his left.

"Luckily you bought a pretty big car huh..." Satria chuckled, "This car deserves a vacation and visit various tourist attractions anyway." Wilhelm began to step on his gas and their journey to the Yogyakarta Palace began, inexplicably an awkward feeling arose for Daisy and Henzie as they sat too close to Aditya.

Satria couldn't help but laugh so she kept laughing when she saw Aditya's seemingly ordinary expression even though he was sitting next to the girls who looked embarrassed, "Come on, don't laugh like that, you look like a crazy person." Wilhelm.

"Darling seuri, nyaho teu?" Again Satria began to issue Sundanese language that means [Wind laugh, know not?]. Satria stopped laughing and then he took out his pack of cigarettes and started smoking, he did not forget to offer them to Henzie or Daisy, who knows they like to smoke.

"Do you women want to smoke?" Ask Satria.

"Are you****** or what the hell? Offering cigarettes to a girl, where maybe they're like that, right..." Aditya started to look at Satria with a serious expression, "Yes, who knows they want to try, after all my wife likes to smoke." 

"Ehh...? Your wife likes to smoke, is she okay?" Ask Daisy.

"Just calm down, he's always safe at any time because of his great Mana ability."

"If Satria has a wife...have you had a child or something?" Ask Daisy.

"Of course, four. three are working and the other is a toddler. They also have their own Mana ability but it's a pity, when I want to invite them." They began to talk on the way to this palace so that their trip can feel pleasant, spending half an hour more to arrive at the Yogyakarta Palace due to road congestion.

"A pretty crowded city, huh..." Aditya.

"Of course, Yogyakarta is filled with great tours." Said Satria, he began to throw his cigarette butts carelessly, fortunately no one saw but the action was directly Aditya follow by tapping the tip of Satria's head, "You want to go forward or how? Always throwing away trash..."

"Ahahaha, sorry-sorry, still as fierce as you usually are, Aditya." 

Wilhelm started looking for a parking space, he found it in an instant but a man wearing sunglasses began to approach the car, the man knocked on the front door and Wilhelm opened it and looked at the man, "What's up, sir?"

"What did you come here for? Do you only want to travel in Yogyakarta Palace? There's no weird purpose, is there...?" When the man spoke like that, Henzie immediately pulled Aditya's clothes slowly to tell himself that the man who was talking to Wilhelm was a human who had Mana as well.

Aditya started patting Wilhelm on the shoulder so he stared at him, "What's up...?"

"We come just for a vacation and a trip, just relax." The man was immediately shocked when he saw Aditya, his changed expression made Henzie sure that the man must know Aditya or not he read a news where Aditya was there.

"You.. come with me now!" The man pointed at Aditya, "No way, not just him. Invite us to come with you too." Satria said as she began to suspect the man, if she took Aditya alone then the situation would be dangerous for Aditya himself.

The man started to stare at them all then let out a long sigh, "It seems like the Sultan won't mind meeting the other Mana users, this side of here." The man said Aditya and Henzie started reading his thoughts, they did not read anything suspicious so it seemed like they were safe to leave.

The man began to lead them to a room that looked very luxurious, there is a lot of gold in him even Aditya who walks the most debate can see a throne and there is a man who is sitting there waiting for the arrival of Aditya with the others.

"... ..." Aditya stopped walking then he told them all to stop as well, "It's okay.go a few more steps and face me." The man who was sitting on his throne began to look at Aditya with a serious-looking expression.

"Welcome to Yogyakarta Palace,Aditya Loka. introduce my name is..."

"...Sultan Andrian Purwira."
