The next morning, Mahendra woke up early to return to the city. People who want to travel far, are obliged to wake up early and leave early. Because transportation in their village is still difficult, there are only bicycles, horses, delman horses.
"The habit of waking up long" said Mahendra when he did not see Ginanjar
"I changed the dheweke." he muttered again still grumbling
(Up to him)
Mahendra then chose to make breakfast first, he started cooking potluck. For almost an hour he stayed in the kitchen, but Ginanjar had not yet come out of his room.
Then Mahendra chose to take a bath, Mahendra did not feel suspicious at all because it was the habit of Ginanjar wake up long. Mahendra quickly returned to the room to take a change of clothes, after which he rushed to the back of the house.
But after finishing the bath Ginanjar still did not come out, Mahendra who was upset trying to approach Ginanjar in his room.
"He actually wants to join opo ora" he said to himself as he walked hastily
Tok tok tok tok
After being in front of the door, Mahendra immediately knocked on the door. But there was no reply, Mahendra again knocked on the door.
Tok tok tok tok
This time he tapped her a little hard, but there was still no truth. Not losing his mind, he tried to turn the door knob.
Krieett
"Not locked." murmured Mahendra
But the door can only open a little, even Mahendra's head is not enough to peek inside.
"This is why anyway." he muttered as he pushed the door but it was difficult
Not giving up, he pushed back the door with all his might. At the end of the day, the door was wide open, though not too wide.
Mahendra immediately poked his head in, wanting to make sure what thought that stuck the door until it was difficult to open.
Deg
Mahendra was surprised to see Ginanjar lying in front of the room door, Mahendra quickly entered and checked the condition of Ginanjar.
"Hufh is still breathing apparently" he said after checking Ginanjar's nose and neck
Even the breath of Ginanjar is very regular signifies he is sleeping soundly, Mahendra increasingly irritated. He had thought that no, but instead Ginanjar just fell asleep even very sound.
"Some of why you sleep here." Mahendra is still not satisfied grumbling
After neutralizing his breath that was up and down in anger in the morning, he immediately woke up Ginanjar.
"Bang, wake up in the morning" said Mahendra as he patted Ginanjar's cheek gently once he shook Ginanjar's body
"Eugh." Ginanjar squirms lazily
Then his eyes were open even though not completely because it still held back sleepiness.
"What's wrong?" ask Ginanjar who even forgot what had happened to him
Seeing Mahendra who was just gawking, Ginanjar quickly stood up and walked towards the mattress and.
Ginanjar resumed his disturbed sleep, not taking long a subtle snoring sounded. Mahendra who saw it just snorted annoyedly, not wanting to waste time he immediately chose to have breakfast and prepared to leave.
'Maybe he won't go along.' Mahendra's mind
After preparing to be ready, Mahendra tried to wake Ginanjar but could not exactly Ginanjar would not wake up.
"I go yo." said Mahendra who had no reply
Mahendra stared at his brother, brother and the only family. He has no other family, because the families of his parents went nowhere.
Mahendra's mother had only been a kara since childhood and lived hanging alone, while his father had parents who had also died when Mahendra was a child. Since childhood, Mahendra had never seen the family of his father come may indeed not exist.
Mahendra held his breath for a moment and exhaled deeply, then slowly stepped out of the house. He could not leave Ginanjar alone, considering they had no one.
But staying here is not easy for Ginanjar, because his heart goes somewhere. If he returns, Mahendra is sure that his dream woman will be united with his lover.
Moreover, Ginanjar survive here is not for something good, Ginanjar intends to harm Mahendra's woman. And Mahendra thought, maybe with it go can make Ginanjar think again and change.
"It's over?" ask someone right in front of the door
Mahendra was surprised by the presence of the voice that arrived, after seeing the owner of the voice he breathed a sigh of relief. The one standing outside is Kemal, Kemal is indeed the type of person who easily blends in.
Not only Kemal, there are Kurdish mang, and Mbah Sastro. While Mbah Bayan is not there, he may be busy. Like Prince Segoro, they also drove Mahendra to the village gate.
"Ginanjar didn't come anyway?" ask Kemal
"Ora." said Mahendra
While two and a half behind them just silently responded, until their steps stopped in the village gate.
"Katresnan iku ora is wrong, mung wektune ora fitting. Kowe mung ndedonga, yen kowe duwe jodo, kowe will meet all abote kowe ngadoh. Yen sampeyan ora duwe tandhingan, banjur come on. Ojo desperate, your age is full of laughter, start pursuing your goals dhisik." said Mbah Sastro gave advice
(Love is not wrong, only the time is not right. You just pray, because if you are a match then you will meet as hard as you stay away. If not a match, then please. Do not be discouraged, your life is still long then chase your dreams first.)
Mbah Sastro can understand, even Mbah Sastro can see clearly in the eyes of Mahendra that he really misses the figure of Riana aka Nyi Danuwati.
Two handsome young men loved the same woman, but Sastro could not say anything other than to give her condolences. Because she knew who Nyi Danuwati was now, Nyi Danuwati was half human and half demit a queen of darkness.
Either one day Nyi Danuwati wants to leave everything she has after her revenge is over and married to a man, or instead still choose to be the queen of the forbidden forest.
Mbah Sastro can not guess, therefore he can only give advice so that someone does not expect more to Nyi Danuwati. Moreover, expecting love, if it is a match then it will meet.
"Jih Mbah, matur nuwun." said Mahendra after being glued for a moment while looking down
(Yes, thank you.)
The words of Mbah Sastro are true, and the words entered Mahendra's body and seemed to stab his heart. Not that he was offended, rather the words made Mahendra aware and understood.
He just has to follow the flow of destiny to bring him to be anchored where, and begin to strengthen the heart. After saying goodbye, Mahendra immediately rode the delman horse that was waiting for him.
Along with the running of the horse wheel, Mahendra relentlessly turned his head back. There was a lot of turbulent feeling in his heart, he could only pray towards Ginanjar.
