The Hylva Dynasty Conflict

03. Expectance

Gavi woke up when the sun was right above his head, he realized Abi was no longer beside him.

Gavi heads to the tent and opens it intending to inquire about Abi's whereabouts.

Gavi was even made shocked, his eyes perfectly rounded when he saw Milo who was changing clothes showing his chest and smooth white stomach plastered clearly in front of Gavi's face.

"WOI STRESS YOU'RE MILES? if you want to change your tent clothes on the lid! What's that zipper do?" said Gavi while closing the tent with annoyance mixed with shock.

"Well, how wrong I am, you should realize dong entered into the tent girl at least nanya first! Tell me you want to find an opportunity in narrowness..hahaha" mocked Milo from inside the tent.

"It's not my lust." - grumbled Gavi.

Before long Gavi sees Abi from a distance walking with a young man who looks the same age as them but wears strange clothes.

If observed, the clothes of the young man really look ancient. The color is brown like a shirt but without neat stitches. Subordinates on the knees that look like a skirt on his head attached a feather of paradise tied with foliage, similar to a crown.

"Paulo knowsin, this is my friend Gavi. Gavi knew this Paulo, the person I met when I was going to bathe in the river" Abi said as he introduced Gavi to the young man named Paulo.

On the other hand Gavi even chuckles to hear the language Abi uses to be very formal.

"Hahaha.gaya say Lo why bi, rich want a meeting with President aja Lo."

Abi rolled his eyes in annoyance and said "Paulo said that people in his village spoke formal language, and did not understand the slang that we usually use. So I had to." too."

"Ohh that's it." said Gavi who was still trying to hold back his little laugh.

Milo who heard the atmosphere was a little crowded out of the tent and seemed a little confused to see Paulo.

"Mil knows this Paulo, Paulo is my friend's milo too." Again, Abi introduced Paulo.

"H-hallo I'm Milo, where are you from?" Said Milo doubtfully.

"Paulo from this village, I met him while I was taking a bath. Then I brought him here hoping he could give us directions. And one more thing, he doesn't understand slang, so he has to use formal language" Abi said when he saw Paulo was silent.

"Ohh that, okay. Greetings know yes, Paulo" said Milo while smiling thinly.

The speech was refuted with a sweet smile from the face of Paulo who seemed fascinated by the beauty of Milo.

Paulo himself is a yellow male figure Langsat exotic like most Indonesians today in general. It is about 175cm tall with a full muscular body, short black and thick hair, deep black eyes, firm and thick eyebrows accompanied by oval lips

"I'll take you to my village, not far from here maybe just a few minutes on foot. Later there you can explain to the chief what really happened."

Paulo's heavy voice sounded like a strict command, making the three companions instantly obedient and immediately packing their goods.

Long walk down the path directed by Paulo, they are fascinated by the beauty in front of the eyes that look right like in the land of fairy tales.

Along the way, to the left of them was a river that flowed profusely with clean and clear water. On the right is a pine forest that is still beautiful yet polluted any pollution.

Plus the atmosphere of the clear morning sky and the chirping of some birds of paradise made them run out of words to express how beautiful the scenery was then.

From a distance they saw a wooden bridge over the river. Across the bridge it looks like there are many simple stilt houses made of teak wood and dried grass grass as the roof.

After crossing the bridge, they enter into a village that is quite crowded with their respective activities. Residents looked at the three friends with strange eyes, looking from head to toe. Maybe because the style of clothes they use is different from the people here.

After walking through the village, the four of them finally arrived at the largest house in the village. Apparently the house on stage is the home of the chief.

Before long a large man with a gallant pus came out of the house. His clothing style was the same as Paulo's, adding only a vest of lion's skin, and a headband with eagle feathers lined up on his head.

Suddenly as the man came out, Paulo sat quietly staring at the floor, his hands crossed, touching his shoulders and bowing as if giving respect.

Seeing Paulo's actions, of course Gavi, Milo and Abi immediately followed suit. Maybe this is the tradition they should follow in the village.

"Wake up Paulo, who are they?" Say that man.

"Sir, they're the ones who got lost in the woods, I came here to bring them in so the chief can give them a lead" Paulo said.

"Get them in!" order of the tribe chief.

Gavi, Milo and Abi sat on a chair made of teak wood with tiger skin. They are a little afraid of the design of the house that looks really ancient, plus many heads of wild animals that are on display add to the impression of the horror of the house.

"Well, explain to me where you came from and what made you get lost all the way here?" Speaker of the tribe.

Gavi ventured to tell all the events from the top of the hill until they met Paulo

...----------------...

Gavi's story is cut short when he mentions the year they celebrated the tenth anniversary of friendship, which is the year 2023.

".... Just sec. What do you mean in 2023? We are now in the 500th year, the reign of the Hylva dynasty." the chief spoke while shouting his forehead.

The three friends were dumbstruck, looking at each other in wonder. Is it possible that they experienced time travel and returned to 1,500 years ago.

"Don't play with me. Moreover, you are currently in the house of the Asmat Tribe chairman, my name is Huda" he added

Huda feels Gavi's story doesn't make sense. He thought that the three people before him were not good people.

"No sir, we don't play. It seems we are indeed from the future." Gavi said doubtfully.

"As I recall, the Hylva dynasty did exist in the history of the Nusantara civilization. The dynasty lived half a century ago. But it only stood for 200 years, after which the Hylva dynasty collapsed due to civil war." Abi tried to remember the history of learning while in college.

"Who leads the Hylva kingdom now sir?" abi added.

"King Candrayana II. He only ascended the throne 2 years ago after king Candrayana I the founder of the Hylva dynasty died" said the chief.

"What? Shit." Abi clucked resentfully, making Gavi and Milo even more restless.

"If you are from the future. Tell me who will be the next king!" Huda looks very curious.

"Hmm it's a long lesson, I've forgotten a little." said Abi, twisting her eyes nervously.

Huda was silent at the answer Abi gave. While Gavi and Milo looked at each other while sighing deeply.

Amidst the confusion, the chief asked them to rest in the guest room first. But there was only one room so the three of them were forced to sleep one room.

As Gavi and Milo tidy up their luggage in the room, the hungry and thirsty Abi took the initiative to find drinks and food in the kitchen.

Abi's ears sharpened as he was about to pass through a room where he overheard the conversation of the chief and Paulo.
