The World's Different Lover
Tantalizing Offers
“Salam, Prabu. Slave comes meet Prabu request,” greet Bayu when it comes. These words he got from Dayang Retno. He said how to say hello.
Prabu smiled and directed her to come sit nearby, “Sit down!”
Bayu sat down with a shiver, he was afraid of being asked more questions. Then he was nervous and couldn't answer his question.
“I didn't know that it turned out that my daughter was in a relationship with you. Maybe that's why Roro Ageng always refused when I made a match with him. Even to the point of running away,” said Prabu.
“Sorry Prabu, about this let Roro alone will answer it,” replied Bayu later.
“I don't think it's necessary, if you really love each other, get married immediately. I've agreed to it because I owe you. You saved the kingdom and a lot of people, especially my daughter. I'm very, very grateful.”
Bayu nodded with certainty. “Sama-sama, Prabu.”
“I know where you live is very far away, but occasionally, invite your family here, who is left?”
“Only stay Mom, Prabu.”
“Nothing, we are now your family, consider this your kingdom. Later you will stay here if you marry my daughter. You're going to marry her, right?”
Bayu nodded before finally answering, “But not to stay, Prabu. I want to invite Roro Ageng to follow me.”
“I was hoping you'd stay here, lead this kingdom, replace me.”
“Sorry I cut, your talk.” Prabu Dharmawangsa smiled gently, from his friendly face was implied sincerity as he looked at her, “I am old, you are my only son-in-law, there is nothing else. Anyway I believe you're great, yesterday is proof of how great you are in this fight. Surely your teacher is so great, to whom did you train?”
“I'm not training, Prabu. This power presented itself, I also do not understand why it could be so. I am just an ordinary person born of ordinary people,” replied Bayu origin because he was not sure to answer honestly where he came from. Because not necessarily Prabu will believe it, or even think it is bouncing. Most importantly, he did not hide his identity that came from commoners. Maybe later or when Bayu and Putri will tell it slowly so they can understand and accept.
Prabu Dharma continued, “You are too self-conscious,” he said to think so, making Bayu even more unpleasant. It is like lying or covering something up, but it does not mean that.
“I believe you grew up from a good family. I think you can also replace me to protect the whole people of Shivalingga, a kingdom that has been under my rule for decades.”
Bayu did not answer, but did not reject him. He's too confused. On one hand, he wanted to stay but on the other, he thought about his previous life. The future human being, what about the status of this body. Will he live in obscurity, vacillating as happened to Roro Putri before? Humans are not, invisible beings are not. I don't know what a decent word for it, I don't know!
“I need time to think about it, Prabu,” replied Bayu finally.
“Good. Nor will I force you to answer it now,” Prabu said later.
Upon Bayu's return from the pendopo, he contemplated what had been said earlier. Suddenly his head became shaken. Life here is so much better. He who was initially invisible in his previous life, will become a person of distinction. All eyes were on him. Everything he wants will be fulfilled and have a beautiful wife. Which is more enjoyable than that?
But Bayu was willing to leave his mother, his brother and his other friends. For now, he feels very missed. Actually not too problematic even though his life is simple, Bayu thanked him. He likes his normal life. Being a mechanic in a workshop, working with thick black oil impurities, joking with his friends to scratch each other's faces, difficult to be happy together without rules that are deliberately made and must be obeyed. But ...he also did not want to separate from the Princess. Especially for now there is no certainty, whether the Princess can return to the future, or not?
The state of the Princess who was still sick made him unable to meet his teacher.
It's really confusing!
