Princess Rajapatni - Rajapatni - Clutching the Full Moon
My mother-in-law's request is really lan-cang. Because of them, I got restless in my room. My heart grew even more restless as the day became twilight. All the intimate scenes I never imagined suddenly appeared in my head. A few days, Tri and Nare were drugging my elbows with intimate stories. He said they had told some of the ladies to go to the brothel. In particular, the ladies asked, how do I devour a man.
Ndilalah..yunda-yundaku really outrageous! Me-reka never misses a day to fix tricks tease men. My body is grinding often. Instead of getting scared, I was getting scared. How it feels that it will hurt so much.
That afternoon, as usual, I was pacing back and forth in the room. Bite my nails to a jagged all. I suspect, my mothers are also being worried in their respective rooms. Every day they hope it will be a good day.
I hope that any day will not be a good day.
Unfortunately, that afternoon the motorcade of maids came to my front room. I think my heart almost fell out. My tongue stutters when I answer their call.
“Gusti Princess.” One of the ladies saluted. “Gusti Prabu ordered us to help you prepare.”
“B—be ready for what?” My face at that time must have been very pale. Some of the ladies were seen closing the laughter with their hands. Aih! Aih! All the scourges of Tri and Nare instantly ring in my ears, making me all-you-kin horrified.
Instead of answering my question, all of the maids immediately did their duty. Clasps and per-adornments were removed one after another. After that, they washed my body and re-washed me with spices and fragrant roots.
They wrapped around thin batik. Only the shoulder blades were placed on my arms. It felt like centuries when they began to unravel and then cast aside my hair. My stomach is so tight. I constantly squeeze the fingers. Hope, may the Prabu change his mind.
When I heard the voice announcing the king's arrival, I immediately jumped in shock. Reflexes, I want a bur and lock the room. But the ladies didn't let me.
Prabu Kertarajasa came escorted by spear soldiers. Without the crown and jewels, he reminded me of Raden Wijaya. The arrogant prince the critic.
I looked down deep. I hid my face behind my long hair.
Prabu Kertarajasa approaching. The Prabu grabbed my hair. His hand grabbed my chin. His eyes immediately looked at me.
It feels like my attitude at that time is already like a deer that will soon be preyed upon. I almost cried, so scared. Moreover, when the ladies and guards saluted and came out. Just left us in the da-lam room.
Prabu Kertarajasa sits on top of the contest. He ripped his forehead a few times. His face at that time was watering the fatigue that he was trying to fight.
“Come.”
I said, then approached the Prabu. But I took as much distance as two feet. My mind is getting harder and harder to control. So I chose to twist my fingers and close my mouth tightly.
“You're quiet once today, Gayatri.” Prabu Kerta-rajasa grabbed my hand. He moved his seat near me. The shoulder slings on my shoulder. Several times, his skin was touching my skin. A hot swish immediately flowed down my esophagus. I swallowed a few times. Again tempted to escape.
“What's up?”
“S—sa—me... I only ” I'm intrigued. Fustian
cynicism can't get out of my mouth. I wonder myself, what makes my brain suddenly dead-end like this? Why do I suddenly feel so weak?
My head's up. As my gaze collided with the bead of his eyes, I saw a red tinge there. Reflexes, my hands raised, touching the corners of ma-tanya. My heart aches at that exhaustion. I know, the Prabu is too closed. Where ever the Prabu share his suffering with others. From a long time ago, the Prabu chose to hide his feelings from the view of the entire palace.
“Yunda Tribuaneswari says that you are welcome to the palace of the princess.” My voice is full of sadness.
Prabu Kertarajasa showed off a reluctant smile to reply.
“How long have you not slept?”
“Entah.” The Prabu said. I pulled her hair. Both of my hands are touching her face. Unknowingly, my tears began to roll. Prabu Kertarajasa blocked a tear with his index finger. Look at him grovel. The Prabu gave me a soft belt.
It was the second smile that made my heart tremble. Her happiness felt as thin as a paper flower petal. There are more burdens and wails that refuse to be put down. It makes me feel sorry, and scared.
“Kanda ”
Prabu Kertarajasa laid his head on my pang-ku. I dared to touch his head. I felt the texture of her hair. I stroked her hair while crying without a sound. Don't want him to know all my worries.
“I hear, your three yunda often coax-pole
mu.”
“Forget it, Kanda Prabu.” I talk while te-
rus stroked her hair. It felt calmer when I saw his eyes begin to close with peace. My tears are still coming down, but my heart feels better.
“Actually, I did want to give that gift to you.”
I choked. Unexpectedly, my reaction made Pre-bu Kertarajasa open his eyes. The Prabu also laughed in a style that used to make me imagine. Oh, why is his laughter so sweet?
“From a long time ago, I always imagined having a child from you.” Sang Prabu said in a more serious tone. “If you can, girls. So I can see you in a small version.”
His face was embarrassing at the time. My hands were ice cold as the Prabu pushed me. I'm getting up, getting cornered in the corner of the contest.
“You mind if I sleep here tonight?” I shook my head, but my body almost shivered.
I stopped crying. The lightning in his eyes made my heart almost jump out.
Prabu Kertarajasa still showed off a smile. By then, we both had gotten into bed. The Prabu laid me down. Then lay down next to me. His hand pulled me closer. Cuddled me in his arms.
“I'm tired once.” That's all Prabu said - Then we both fell asleep together.
