Princess Rajapatni - Gayatri - 11

Everything in condition is always changing. Anityas. Buddha once said this in the teaching of the three modes of life. This teaching really happened before the collapse of Singasari. Mara came after pes-a. Just as rain removes heat. It all happened in the blink of an eye. Even for me, the suffering felt like years.

People are starting to forget the Mongolian threat. The reception of Raden Wijaya was immediately held. At that time, Ardaraja and Maha had officially lived in Kotaraja. Your father gave you a luxurious house, complete with boat and daycare as a wedding gift. Low boisterous atmosphere. The whole people have fun. Kotaraja decorated sede-mikian. The best food and wine.

I thought that this peace would last forever.

Raden Wijaya's men arrived a week early. Father looked happy to hear the news. A party with gamelan and dances held overnight. Father immediately wanted to hold a more magnificent wedding party.

Singasari is matchless. No one can beat Singasari. That's how he fiddles in the midst of drunkenness.

Then the trumpet of the sign of war sounded.

The laughter stopped for a moment. Panic cries scatter immediately. A soldier broke through the guard. An arrow stuck in his chest. Among the lives that remained half, he was still loyal. Evidently, he chose to ignore safety to face here.

“Report, the Prabu..” The soldier said in a disjointed breath. “There... troops... storming... in... area.... north. They're... Prabu Jayakatwang ”

The soldier's breath was broken. However, the name Uncle Jaya-Katwang has been spoken. My father was angry until he trembled. A row of swearing vows slid from his mouth. Mengu-tuk Uncle Jayakatwang's. Apparently so much kindness Ayahanda was unable to stem the ambition of Uncle Jayakatwang.

“Ardaraja! Can you explain something about this?” snapped Ayahanda.

I saw Ardaraja kneeling. Face is pale. Inevitably, Maha knelt beside her husband.

“Punish me, Ayahanda Prabu. Servant has absolutely no idea about this,” he said in a vibrating voice. “If I had known, would have foreclosed on him since the beginning.”

“How dare Si Jayakatwang it!” yell your Father. “Now, Ardaraja! Tell me, where are your legs resting?!”

Ardaraja. But the current Father actually tested the loyalty of his son-in-law.

“Think about it! Your wife and in-laws are here! While there, only a traitor!”

I understand Ardaraja's dilemma. The one who was cursed and called a traitor was his father. How will he answer? This is a really hard question.

A whole hall of silence awaited Ardaraja's reply. I saw him down. His fingers twitched unsettled. While his body as if going to look left right because of fret.

Ardaraja bent over until his nose touched the floor.

“You better answer that question, Ardaraja.” Raden Wijaya added.

“I dare not choose, Ayahanda Prabu. Sung-guh, I don't dare.”

Ardaraja raised his face. Really, just this time I saw a teardrop from a man. The current situation must have been very raging. If he sided with us, he would have to go against his own father. Meanwhile, if she leaves us, she must destroy her entire family of in-laws. What is ma-cam option?

“I will defend Singasari who has given a lot of gratitude to servants.” Ardaraja's voice was broken by crying. There was a sigh of relief from the entire hall-run, Ayahanda snorted in relief. Then he took the wine back.

“Alright, Ardaraja. You and Wijaya, bring the main army. Go north to overcome the pasu-kan Gelang-Gang!” attack his orders.

“Sendhika, Ayahanda Prabu.” Ardaraja said obediently. People are starting to flicker. This time was a bit doubtful with Ayahanda's confidence.

Raden Wijaya then advanced. Expressing everyone's heartbreak, he said, “Punish me if I'm wrong. Is it not dangerous to leave the palace in loose guard?”

I gulped his broom again. Laughter blurted out in the hall. “There's me, Prabu Kertanegara here! What do you need to fear?”

The crowds are getting crowded. Raden Wijaya left and right. Looking for someone who can advise Ayahanda.

“It feels like there is no harm in putting soldiers to guard.” Mahisa Anabrang's uncle was apparently as ham as Raden Wijaya.

“Alright, if that's what you want.” Ayahanda. He was still staggering when he gave the pe-leech.

“Mahisa Anabrang! Prepare a company of troops on standby here. The rest, go face the troops of the Bracelets! You must teach that lesson to my selfless besan! Understood, all of you?”

“Understanding, Gusti Prabu!”

Ayahanda poured the wine again. Still holding the belief that the Maharaja is a god incarnation. Peme-gang revelation kedaton is invincible.

I still remember well the look on Ayahanda's face at that time. Red eyes. His jaw hardened, holding back anger. And for some reason, a bad feeling lingered in my heart. It was the last time I saw Father's face.
