The Fate of Adipura Kingdom

1. Promises

The golden rays of the sun began to show themselves when it was about to be morning, so beautiful and soothing. The wind blows slowly bringing calmness in peace. Sinta sat on a chair made of bamboo while stroking her stomach that had been raised due to pregnancy and had reached the age of 9 months, just a matter of days again she will give birth.

Sinta was impatient for the presence of his baby, while stroking him did not forget to hum a song melodiously and subtly, making anyone will calm down when hearing his song.

“Your voice is always good, I am grateful to have a beautiful wife and good at singing like this” Aryo out of his house approached his wife who was sitting in a chair.

“Ah kanda had woken up, did you sleep well last night?", Sinta turned to her husband who was looking at her with a warm smile, "Actually dinda want to be accompanied sitting here while enjoying this beautiful scenery. But dinda pronounced because kanda so sound sleep”, Sinta ended her words while returning a smile to her husband.

“Really? Kanda see this sight is common. Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Aryo asked his wife. Not usually Sinta behaves like this, he thinks there are other things his wife wants to talk about.

Sinta was silent, the smile she had shown earlier now started to disappear and changed to flat and slowly changed into sadness.

Aryo sighed softly, he already knew the attitude of his wife like this was because of him, actually he did not want to make his wife sad but yng he did now for their good.

“Dinda, you know what I'm doing. This is all for our good, our family, and I'm sure all of this will be no result later” Aryo knelt in front of Sinta who was sitting while stroking his wife's stomach.

Instead of feeling calm with the explanation of her husband Sinta's face still shows a very deep sadness, Aryo became a little awkward with this situation. He was about to say something again but his wife's voice cut him off.

“Kanda, dinda was very afraid of bad things happening to kanda” Sinta opened her voice while bowing her head, afraid that her tears that began to drip were seen by her husband.

“You understand dinda's worries, look at it you promised after this business is finished you will stop and we will both live life like ordinary people” Aryo again convinced his wife to calm down while smiling at his wife. He held his wife's cheek while stroking her head slowly.

“Do not grieve dinda, later our son will follow sad if he knows his beautiful mother is crying for fear of losing his handsome and dashing father” said Aryo back with both hands began to pinch his wife's cheeks with be gentle to stop crying.

“You can still joke when you cry like this, and now your cheek hurts to blush” Sinta chirped for a little upset. He began to wash his lips and turned his face away like a child sulking.

Aryo laughed at his wife's attitude, but the laughter only lasted for a while, “Awwww... Ahhhhh sick dinda, let go” Aryo screeches when his wife deliberately pulls her nose very strongly.

“This is a reply to kanda for making my cheeks red earlier” replied Sinta without stopping pulling her husband's nose. She continued to pull him with all her might making her husband's groans of pain continuously audible.

“You're okay I'm sorry, but please stop pulling your nose. Kanda did not mean to make such red cheeks, kanda apologized aakkhrrrg.” Aryo's agonizing cry finally stopped the pull against his nose. While grimacing in pain slowly Aryo again could see the smile of his wife.

“You must promise to go home and together we take care of and take care of our children until later in life” Sinta re-opens her voice and the look on her face shows a hope that her request will be granted by her husband.

“You promised to go home hugging dinda” Aryo replied with a smile and hugged his wife gently. A hug from her husband made Sinta finally calm down.

***

Not long after that, it was seen from a distance that a sepuh man came quickly riding a dark brown horse moving towards their house. Arriving in front of the house the man got off his horse and immediately kneeled saluting Aryo.

“Although young master, sorry for the arrival of the servant interfered with his rest. But the situation is very urgent in our headquarters, the rest of the troops are holding an emergency meeting” the man explained the matter to be conveyed to Aryo.

“There is no need to hesitate uncle, convey the circumstances of what happened at the headquarters. Please enter into our house first” Aryo invites old man to come inside to talk about what will be conveyed.

The old man stood up and then followed in the footsteps of Aryo and Sinta as the host, after entering inside they finally sat on the bamboo chair that had been available inside.

"Okay uncle, what kind of urgent situation has happened in our headquarters?", Aryo immediately opened the conversation after they sat down.

"Before the servant apologized for the negligence we had done to the young master", the old man replied with a face that showed guilt.

Aryo felt a little uneasy about the conversation he would hear this time, he then told his wife to enter the room.

"Go in the room and rest" Aryo asked his wife gently.

Sinta already understood the meaning of her husband's request, she nodded her head in understanding, "Good kanda", she replied and went to their room.

"Uncle, please continue our conversation", Aryo again prepares for the old man to start conveying the purpose of his arrival.

"Sorry young tun, actually.", the old man began to explain the purpose of his arrival. Aryo listened to all that without cutting off the explanation from the old man, "Because the information spread among the soldiers made them fret. Please young master come with me to calm our side who is upset there", closed the old man.

The look on Aryo's face that was calm began to appear to show a very clear sense of worry. Hearing the explanation from the man made his mood go bad.

"Young master is actually this problem related to.", the old man coughed and then remained silent.

“Why uncle? Why quit? Is there anything more serious than the news you've been saying?” Aryo became curious because of the talk of old men like they were hiding something against him.

“Sorry young master, actually.” old man again explained the information he wanted to convey. After explaining everything the old man was back in silence, he unintentionally saw the look on his young master's face become furious with tightly clenched hands. The old man again lowered his head in fear that Aryo's anger would be vented to him.

Aryo was furious at hearing the last news he had heard. This is because the planned coup for 2 years leaked and Adipura royal forces prepare to eradicate his troops.
