The Owner

Chapter 27

For the first time in his life. Princess Acalapati woke up with a man beside her, not only distanced but the arms of Prince Lingga tightly coiled around her slender waist covered in silk.

Actually Prince Lingga himself had awakened first when he heard the kumandang adzan but immediately closed his eyes back when he felt the movement of Acalapati.

"Are you awake?" because there was absolutely no sound whatsoever, Lingga finally relented. He could really miss the prayer time.

"When did you marry Princess Arimbi?"

"Why ask that?" Tell me you don't want me to get married again.

Princess Acalapati shakes her head. "No, I'm just asking."

For a few seconds, silence hugged the two.

"Acalapati," Call Lingga lirih break the silence.

"Yes?"

"You agree I'm married to Princess Arimbi?" Lingga asked staring at the pure white face before him.

Acalapati swallow. "What right do I have to forbid you? Your religion permits, and you can do it with or without my consent."

Linga was a little disappointed to hear Acalapati's words that were not as expected.

"I give you advice." Acalapati said she dared to look at the face of the man who had touched her everywhere. "Don't be fooled by a meek face and a sweet smile. Our cage feels sympathy for someone who looks weak, sweet and alluring. Everyone keeps their dark sides, I see the woman you're fighting for isn't as gentle as you know."

Those words jerked the Linga. What is the meaning behind the Acalapati warning? Why is his wife so much of a puzzle? Why not frankly if he really objected if Arimbi became his honey?

Two pairs of eyes were now riveted in silence. The events of the past few times have been very real making them close, in fact it is enough to unite two hearts. However, Lingga's desire to marry Princess Arimbi seems to make a real limit.

Prince Lingga must admit, his wife is very beautiful. It was medium in height, yet the body looked dense and agile. Her eyes are beautiful and brilliant. His nose is small but sharp. Beyond all that the most interesting is her reddish and slightly full lips. Plus her long hair is beautifully scattered really a very adorable alloy.

"I'll think about the advice you gave me. I'll go pray together first."

Acalapati. He knows what Prince Lingga means.

Slowly Acalapati began to wake up on her own, she inhaled the fragrance of Prince Lingga perfume attached to her and she only realized if her hair was still a bit damp, her clothes had been changed. It turns out that the past happened again, could it be that Prince Lingga did it? Suddenly Acalapati's hair goosebumps It turns out that the man has too often seen it without a thread.

When I returned from the mosque. Prince Lingga immediately changed his clothes to his pure white robe, wearing a Black turban, his exterior wearing a very luxurious black bisht, the clothes used when attending important events as an indication of social status and position.

"I'll have a lot of business. You are well at home "Sounds kind and gentle the message that Prince Lingga conveyed to Princess Acalapati who remained indifferent.

"You can come out, Zur will watch over you." Prince Lingga had had time to step several jengkal when his body turned back and approached Acalapati."Don't forget your veil if you walk out of the ladies' hall." The thin cloth was placed on the lap of Acalapati who was still unmoved."Don't act as you please, everything you do will drag my name. Don't make me angry" Whisper the Linga from behind Princess Acalapati's ear.

"I'm going to get rid of that trauma my way. I-i promise. You're only mine! Only I can touch you like this."

It seems that Prince Lingga is really not willing to leave a wife who still wants to be touched everywhere, not Acalapati who wants it but the man who began to burn passion because of his own actions.

"Name me!" His word does not want to be disputed.

Acalapati just glanced indifferently. Prince Lingga blocked Acalapati's chin to face him. "Say my name with your lips." Prince Lingga's thumb rubbing Princess Acalapati's cleavage.

Seeing his wife's sharp gaze jolted the Linga's consciousness. Acalapati wants to serve him not because of want or even willingness. This woman in front of him would accept his will because it is limited to aborting the obligation and maybe even forced.

Is it wrong if it is like that? In fact, Acalapati is indeed in plural when not ready, it can even be said to be forcibly snatched.

Lingga's hand checks on Acalapati's chin weakened, he stared at the woman who was still faithfully unmoved.

"I'm leaving." Afterwards Prince Lingga chose to really leave.

It turned out that Restu had been waiting for him at the door of the room he had not occupied last night.

"Greetings Prince, I'm looking for you and waiting for you."

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that last night I had something special." Reply Linga grimaced with feelings for Restu who was definitely tired of waiting for him.

"I want to report something."

"Mmmm..."

"Evenings I have asked people to guard the gate tightly, they are also guarding the palace fence, but it seems that last night Princess Acalapati did not make a tantrum by sneaking up as usual. Even I who waited under the Bidara tree to fall asleep saw no sign of Princess Acalapati Exit or enter." The lengthy report from Restu was not responded to as enthusiastically as usual. Restu actually saw a smile line on the lips of Prince Lingga.

Why is he smiling?

"Prince?"

He really fell asleep?

Restu did not know if the reason Princess Acalapati did not sneak anywhere because of the actions of the Prince himself, the man could imprison his wife in his support, even hugging her until the morning.

"The People Wanted Prince Lingga to have a future successor first before in Lantik. People's minds are poisoned with the vile words of irresponsible people." The chief advisor delivered the latest news.

"The prince must prove that marriage between a Muslim man and a non-Muslim woman is not an engineering to expand power" he added, responding to a long breath Helaan by Yang Mulya Empress.

In the hall Yang Mulya the Empress was discussing regarding the rumors of public comments. The public demanded Prince Lingga to get a successor candidate before the coronation.

"We just need to prove to the public that the marriage of Prince Lingga and Princess Acalapati is not a fabrication. By the way the Prince must make his wife pregnant, the people will not dare to insult the religion of Princess Acalapati when the royal successor is already residing in the womb of Princess Acalapati."

"I'll talk about it with Linga. Hasn't this happened in the history of the Indies before? King Jalal also married a non-Muslim woman. Even though until they died, they still had different beliefs. But in the end the Queen of Hinduism can have the title Mariam Uz Zamani, even she also got a title that literally means the gift of God, namely the title Nimat Begum. Fayakun Kun!" The answer that Mulya Empress gave was very clearly illustrated by the belief of Yang Mulya Empress in Princess Acalapati.

It now depends on the fate line how Lingga and Acalapati are united in the name of responsibility and also love.
