Princess Rajapatni - Rajapatni - The Dawn that Wanders

The next day, I woke up so late. It also happened because of the commotion brought by my yundang troupe.

Tri, Nare, Pradnya, and a motorcade of ladies came in crowds. Tri knocked on my bedroom door with a he-boh. He forced me to wake up. The reason is, the day has begun.

The sky is still gray. The sun is still in the eastern sky. Cold air semriwing. It's delicious to fall down at a time like this.

I had to get out of bed. I opened the door and rubbed my eyes. Still drowsing, I saw Tri and Nare researching the bed. I covered the cake. My eyes are not open. I didn't realize why their attitude was so strange today.

After washing my face, I sat down near mere-ka. I drink water casually. My calmness is ru-paya bothering them.

“Duh, Dinda. I can't take it anymore!” Nare first stood up and then ruffled her waist. “Actually, what did you do with Kanda Prabu overnight?”

“Sleep,” I replied plainly.

Tri's nag responded to my answer. I could only gawk at their scolding:

The golden opportunity was missed. We have taught you.

Only those two sentences can enter my brain. Her prad dragged me out of an increasingly heated situation. I was still dumbfounded when we arrived at the princess' palace. Even when Pradnya took me to her safe cat.

“Pardon yunda-yunda. Dara Petak really makes them unable to hold back,” Pradnya said. “Here is not as comfortable as in your residence, Dinda. But I can order my day to help you clean yourself.”

I just noticed that his room was smaller than mine. Not good taste, see the furniture that seems simple. Although I know, for the size of the palace, this already meets the standards.

Some of the ladies came after being called. Not wanting to go back to my palace, I borrowed the Pradnya cloth. I refused the jewelry she wanted to lend me. Keep te-rang, all that jewelry even makes me feel uncomfortable.

“Actually, we have no right to demand much from you.” Pradnya. “We are all here, with a myriad of problems. Same as Kanda Prabu.”

Pradnya. He looks confused. “I don't know, Dinda.”

“Kanda Prabu looks very tired. His eyes are blushing,” I complained. “I don't even know how to entertain him.”

“Trust me, your presence alone has made him entertained.” Pradnya showed off a smile. “You also sacrificed quite big. I know, you don't like being involved. Now, you have to bear a heavier burden than us. Rajapatni. I know for a fact, mak-sud Kanda Prabu gave that title.”

I forced a smile. Neither title nor position, both never crossed my mind. I used to think I wouldn't care so much.

“Your coverage will be bigger, Dinda. You have to let go of the best part of you. Your soul is as free as a wandering bird. Even Arya Virendra can't afford to do that.”

This is the first time I've heard Viren's name in the palace. I furrowed my eyebrows, just remembering to turn on the news.

“Where is Brother Viren now, Yunda? Yesterday, I didn't see it.”

“She does not want to be present at the wedding ceremony-an.” Pradnya's smile looks bitter. “Arya Virendra asked Kanda Prabu to stay until the coronation ceremony. I only found out about this when he actually left.”

“So, Brother Viren has gone?”

Pradnya. “You may understand better his way of thinking. Too bad, I failed to persuade him. His determination has been round once.”

“I want to meet Kakang Virendra.” My shoulder shakes when I say that. Too sad to know one of my holdings in the palace has gone. “How can I meet him?”

Pradnya shook slowly. “That's impossible.” With a doubtful step, Pradnya approached the closet. His hand pulled the door and a box came out of it.

I never thought it was a box of sadness. Everything broke my heart so that it was barely left.
