The Kingdom Likes Peace.
Slowly the eyes began to open, and began to regain consciousness. He tried to sit up, even though his body was in pain.
"Astaghfirullah hal'azim o Allah." He tried to remember why he was unconscious?. He touched his right shoulder, which was the source of the pain, which he felt until he fainted.
"You've woken up Rayi prabu." Raden Hadyan Hastanta was in his room.
"Raka." The prabu saw his brother who brought him a glass of water, and gave it to his sister.
"Thank you Raka" he said, and drank the water slowly.
"What happened to you, Rayi Prabu?. Why did you suddenly faint?. You're making me anxious, rayi prabu." So many questions came to his mind.
Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana was silent, he was also confused to answer what, and he could not answer honestly, right?.
"My head suddenly dizzy." He touched his head, as if he was dizzy. "I kept thinking about the safety of the jaya satria, and also the yunda andhini andita. Because I was worried too much, I became unconscious. I'm sorry I made you anxious, Raka." Further again.
Raden Hadyan Hastanta smiled slightly, he now understood. "You don't have to worry about Rayi Prabu. I'm sure they're fine in there." He tried to make his brother not think about the bad things that happened there.
"Just right before fainting, he called the name jaya satria.because he thought too much about the safety of his subordinates, it was impressive. Although a subordinate, but he cared so much." huh, he understood now the cause of his sister's unconsciousness.
"Hopefully you'll be fine there, jaya satria. Take good care of yunda andhini andita." In his heart he hoped it would be okay. "This pain, like being stabbed by a sharp object. The pain seemed to take my life away." He could not imagine, if Jaya Satria was directly affected, while he only received the pain. "Yes Allah. Protect him, O God." In his heart he continued to pray and hope for the best.

The royal palace of Mekar Jaya
Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana who is actually the current Satria jaya, was sitting with Prabu Ravana Bimantara, and they were talking.
"So nanda prabu converted to Islam, because of your father's advice?." He's a little curious.
"Master grandpa prabu. Nanda was still unable to control himself." Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana said with a small smile. "Whether it is a form of anger or other lust that loses. But after the nanda converted to Islam, slowly nanda can do good things." He could feel it all from his heart.
Yes, indeed he had heard of it, he could also tell the difference now. The changes that occurred to Raden Cakara Casugraha either before or after becoming king.
"What did Nanda Prabu read that day?. It feels so good that I heard it. So beautiful and melodious. Makes me want to keep hearing it." His curiosity was also fixed on what was read by Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana prabu at that time.
"That's the reading of shalawat badar, prabu grandfather." The answer. "The benefits are many. In addition to the heart for those who read, or who listen. Shalawat badar can also be a protector from jinn disorders. There are so many benefits of grandpa prabu." He explained the little benefit of reading sholawat badar.
"That's really amazing. I think grandpa prabu wants to hear about nanda prabu." He smiled a little. "All right?. Nanda Prabu read it once more to me? " prabu Ravana Bimantara asked the Asmalaraya Arya Prabu Ardhana.
"Alright grandpa prabu." It felt very good and he could not refuse it. Prabu Asmalaraya Arya recited Sholawat badar with a beautiful voice.not only the Prabu Ravana Bimantara who was fixated with that voice, the ladies and soldiers who were there also felt tranquility when listening to him.

Meanwhile.
Queen Ardiningrum Bintari, Raden Ganendra Garjitha and Raden Gentala Giandra. They still do not accept the changed attitude of Prabu Ravana Bimantara and instead defend the Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana.
"This is so bad for mom. What should we do, if prabu grandfather also succeeded in shaman by rayi prabu?." Raden Ganendra Garjitha looked agitated, and fear had haunted his mind.
"There's the worst possible chance, we'll be expelled from this palace mother." Raden Gentala Giandra scared his mother.
"Don't until it happens, son. Mother is not willing, if father prabu did that to all of us." Queen Ardiningrum Bintari was afraid to imagine it happening to her.
"We must persuade prabu's grandfather, and resuscitate him." Raden Gentala Giandra gave his opinion to do something
Yeah they should do it. So that Prabu Ravana Bimantara does not expel them.
On the other side.
In Princess Ambarsari's room.
"Not that I intend to influence you yunda." Princess Andhini Andita is currently in Princess Ambarsari's room.
"I realized my mistake, when I listened to the words of jaya satria." At first he suspected that, Jaya Satria would only poison his mind. In fact Jaya Satria made himself aware, about what he had done.
"That's because you fell in love with that masked man Rayi." He still doesn't understand.
"It's not like that." He smiled at her. "From the journey we did, with Rayi prabu to this palace. Don't you think there's something interesting?." Princess Andhini Andita gives a view or a little picture of their journey at that time.
"Yund. We are adults, not children who only think about pleasure. But think about the future consequences, what our future relationship as. Will we continue to be hostile, or still remain as brothers of one father?. Yaitunya father prabu kawiswara arya ragnala. Or just as people who happen to get together, just because of one father, who then separated because of different mothers." Andhini's daughter Andita looked sadly at her brother, towards her brother, that smile held deep pain.
"Think about it slowly. No need to force it. The heart that judges, the mind that imagines." Further. "Then I'll go first. I want to see my brother Gusti prabu cakara casugraha. I think he's deciding to reconcile with prabu's grandfather." Say it with certainty.
"Yund. You are my brother. And I will continue to be your sister. Even when you say hate or want to kill me. That destiny we can't change, as long as we have the blood of prabu kawiswara arya ragnala's father." His heart feels sore. But he also could not force his brother, to justify what he said.
"Mixeden." Andhini's daughter Andita left the room. And he wants to see his sister, is still chatting with Prabu Ravana Bimantara.
"Room." His heart was sad, and he was crying?. His sister's words were so piercing that they reached his heart. "Rayi andhini andita." He did realize it. How all this time he was so close to his sister. But at this time, he saw a change in his brother's attitude, which he considered it because of the son of Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana. But from his attitude and the way he spoke very softly. And he can also feel the sincerity of that speech.
"Rayy. I want us to make up as before. Me and you always tell me anything." His heart could not lie, to cover up how much he missed his little sister.
Not just as a friend to tell stories. But also as a place to share life experiences. His mind is how, when he was still close to his sister. But now they're crossing each other and almost killing each other?.
"Oh great god. What am I supposed to do?." He wept over his heart that felt helpless. Can he turn the clock around and fix things he shouldn't want at all?. Everything he would think back on, and he wanted to repair the already fractured relationship between them.
...****...
Four days passed.
Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana and Princess Andhini have arrived at the royal palace of Suka Damai. They were greeted by Jaya Satria and Raden Hadyan Hastanta.
"Alhamdulillah hirobbil 'alamin. Although there was a problem, Alhamdulillah hirobbil 'alamin prabu grandfather declared peace with us." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana was also grateful for it.
"Then let's go in. Definitely rayi prabu, rayi andhini andita tired during the trip." Raden hadyan hastanta took them all in, he took the luggage from his sister.
"Thank you raka." Princess Andhini Andita felt helped, and she followed her brother and Asmalaraya prabu Arya Ardhana into the palace.
But Jaya Satria still lives there, because she feels the presence of someone. He waited until the man appeared.
At that moment his eyes caught the figure of a young woman wearing simple clothes, but beautiful to look at.
"Mother." Unknowingly he called the young woman yunda?.
"Yund. You're back." Such a deep sense of longing, made his legs seem hypnotized to approach the woman.
"Who are you?." Surely the woman asked, because she did not recognize the masked man at all.
Jaya Satria realized something. "Ah forgive me servant." He realized that his current appearance was jaya satria, not as his sister.
"Is nimas the -." Not yet he continued his words, he was even attacked by the woman.
"Infoiler!." The woman aimed her punch at Jaya Satria's chest. He wants to beat up a stranger, he thinks.
Jaya Satria still had time to avoid the blow, he retreated because he avoided the attack. But the woman will not beat him.
"Light be nimas." Jaya Satria is trying to win the woman over.
But it seemed that the woman did not listen to him, she still attacked him.
"Yes." The woman directs the blow that she has channeled her energy in. The blow was almost about Jaya Satria, if only Princess Andhini Andita did not get in the way.
"Rayy. Why did you attack him." Once he managed to beat back the woman, who was none other than Agniasari Ariani's daughter.
"Yunda?." Is it surprising to see his brother?.
"Yunde agniasari ariani." From the side he recognized the sound so much that he reflexively looked at it.
His heart was so pounding that he saw the figure that he missed so much. He immediately approached her, he stared fixedly at the figure, until unconsciously his tears dripped down his cheeks.
"Rayi prabu." He hugged the sister he missed so much.
"Yunda." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana returned her brother's embrace, she also missed her brother.
"You're okay, jaya satria." Princess Andhini Andita worried about the state of the jaya Satria, she was afraid that her sister was beating her.
"Hamba is fine, wrestling princess." The answer. He just smiled a little, so as not to make Andhini's daughter Andita not worry about him.
"I feel like I now understand, how to hold the feeling of longing for our loved ones behind this mask." Jaya Satria which is actually Asmalaraya prabu Arya Ardhana understands how longing he cannot express.
"Rayi agniasari ariani." Raden Hadyan Hastanta also approached all of them. "Welcome back rayi." Further.
Princess Agniasari Ariani let go of her embrace, she looked towards her brother Raden Hadyan Hastanta.
"Raka." He saw a little difference from his brother. Either in terms of appearance, or his friendly smile?.
"Rayy. You don't have to wonder like that." Princess Andhini Andita and Jaya Satria joined them.
"Well, I'm sorry yunda. I just-." He did not understand what happened when he left the palace.
"It's okay Rayi, I get it." He cursed.
"Thank you, mama." He felt guilty for thinking no to them.
"Oh yes. He's not the bad guy Rayi." He smiled a little. "The name is jaya satria. He's rayi prabu's subordinate." He introduced Jaya Satria to his sister.
"The branch is rayi prabu?." In his heart he wondered. "Why is this guy wearing a face mask?." He feels confused.
"There are several things, which makes him have to wear a yunda face mask. Later I will explain further." prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana understands that this is indeed the first time her brother saw Jaya Satria.
"Actually, the one behind the mask is the real rayi prabu asmalaraya arya ardhana. What you see now is jaya satria. They're switching places." Raden Hadyan Hastanta in his heart said like that, he did not want to make his two sisters confused.
"Then let's all go in." Raden Hadyan Hastanta allowed his two younger brothers to walk first.
"Let's rayi." Andhini's daughter Andita invited her sister to come in.
"You guys just change places. So that there will be no misunderstanding." Raden Hadyan Hastanta commemorates the two.
"All right, Raka." Reply Jaya Satria.
"I'm sorry. You must feel an unpleasant feeling." Prabu Asmalaraya Arya Ardhana looks sad.
"It's okay. This way I feel, the feeling you've been feeling, all this time hiding behind this mask." He stroked his face which was now covered by a mask.
"No. You can't feel that feeling. Enough of your anger, hiding behind that mask." He won't let that happen.
"Let your anger. And your angry feelings are sealed there. Don't even think about opening that mask to your anger. Or to show them." Further again.
"It's all fate. Which we must live, as prabu's father said." Yes, he will never forget, what is the message of Kawiswara Arya Ragnala.
"alright. I-i understand. But I hope, someday. We can go hand in hand, without holding back any feelings." He hoped that there was no difference in the envy between the two. They just want both of them to get what they want.
"But I hope, too, that this remains a secret. Not good, if we are present at the same time under normal circumstances." It is very hard to face.
