“Before—aku from the village next to the place you have passed,” replied Nawang. Bayu nodded his head. “I am sad .. Every day I miss my husband so much. I once dreamed I could live together and have children with him. But in reality it's just a dream—” Nawang's tears are falling.
As a true man as well as a form of gratitude, Bayu approached him to give him some comfort. Without saying anything, Bayu pulled Nawang's head onto his shoulder to give him a backrest.
“Thank you, Kang Mas,” he said again. And Bayu nodded.
“Actually, I'm still curious about your purpose for coming there. Especially with your strange clothes.”
“Together with me, I also feel strange with your clothes,” reply Bayu bandai so that the pinch had landed several times in his stomach. “Actually there's a business I haven't finished with Nyai Roro Ageng.”
“You ever met?” he said to break away from the shoulder where Nawang was leaning. His eyes looked curiously.
“Yes, from the future, I hope you're not confused by I mean.”
“Yes, I know. Nothing is impossible in this world, I believe and trust you that it can indeed happen. Are you guys in love?”
“Maybe you could say so.”
Nawang was flabbergasted to see it without blinking. Many questions in his head, but it feels less polite to ask too far. Obviously, this is not his business at all. After a while, Nawang then spoke another. “I heard, the full moon later, Nyai Roro will be married to Prince.”
“And that's my destination.”
“You must not be late, Kang Mas. Otherwise your distant arrival is just a waste.”
Hearing that Bayu came out and looked up. The sky looks bright, but the full moon still does not look perfectly round. “Quiet, I still have time. I thought this trip would take another day. Probably enough.”
“Ya, you're right.” Bayu back inside. “What do you know from whom?” ask Bayu curious.
“Every week, there must be people trading here. And we can hear anything from his speech, including the state of the kingdom, said Kang Mas,” he explained which is easy to understand.
The night was getting colder and colder—more getting to the bone. Likewise, the middle Bayu and Nawang feel because they sleep in one bed. Only this place is available.
“I have never felt this cold,” said Bayu broke the silence of the night. This thick blanket seemed to be of no use to him.
“You may hug me, Kang Mas,” replied Nawang.
Because he did not respond, Nawang again broke the silence, “Bayu ...,” gradually began to dare to call him without any mention like that.
Bayu turned to look at the clear eye bead that was staring at him.
“You saw We were talking?”
“Yes, I saw it, is there something wrong with me?”
“There's nothing wrong with you. We're just deliberating to determine where you're going to sleep tonight. Finally they agreed you sleep in my place.”
“To be honest—as I said earlier. I have no problem sleeping anywhere. The important thing is that I can be protected from the rain and the cold of the night wind, like this time.”
“You slept in my place because-of course I have a reason.”
“What's Nawang?”
“This week is my fertile period.”
“You mean?” tanya Bayu grew curious.
“I want to ask you something, that too if you want.”
And finally Bayu began to realize it.
“I want to have a child from you,” he said again. “I'm handing myself over to you.”
How is it possible to have children without marriage? Pekik Bayu in heart. How will this story go if Bayu does it and the seed manages to grow. At all Bayu never dreamed of being able to have children from other women especially in this supernatural world. A world that he thought was strange and difficult to understand.
Bayu shook his head, “I can't, Nawang.”
“You don't need to worry, I won't hold you accountable. I only need descendants to pass on my descendants, which we will care for together here. But like I said, if you don't mind. One thing you should know, Bayu. Later this child can help you if indeed he managed to grow.”
Women always precede time, he thought. Bayu sighed his breath into the air. Feeling sorry for this thirsty woman, Bayu agreed. Also in return for being allowed to stay at his house.
