Voices From Other Realms

In the Tempo Period

1598 Years

It appears that two beautiful girls, daughters of noble descent at that time were fighting mouth.

" You know I've been dating Kanda Raden Bondo, but why did you accept Romo's offer?" said one of the girls named Arum.

" I'm your brother Arum, you can't step over me. After all, Kanda's father Raden Bondo himself came to propose to me" replied another girl named Anum.

" But you can refuse, there are still many other men.Why should Kanda Bondo?" yelled Arum furiously.

" Because I'm more worthy of a match with Kanda Bondo than you are Arum..." Anum shouted back.

" You snatched your own sister's lover, the female base didn't sell," Arum pulled Anum's hair, her brother violently.

Anum screamed.., he pulled back his sister Arum's hair.

Some of their servants tried to break up the sister's brother.

" It's Gusti kanjeng Ayu.

The two girls did not care, the sister brother was still grabbing each other, no one was willing to let go.

"Call Gusti Romo..," one servant shouted to the other.

One of the servants hurried to call their master whom they called Gusti Romo or Gusti Lingga.

Soon the servant returned with their lord, carrying a basin of water.

" Shy them...," orders Gusti Lingga often called Gusti Romo.

The waiter poured a basin of cold water on the two daughters of Gusti Romo who were still pulling each other.

"Byur....," Anum and Arum immediately released the jubilee on their hair.

They fell silent as soon as they saw their father standing there with a trace of his waist and an angry look at them.

"Romo.." call them while bowing their heads, whose hair has been preserved.

Their clothes were also wet by the water splashed by the maids.

"What the fuck are you guys? just embarrass me?" gusti Romo said angrily...

Anum and Arum just lowered their heads. They did not dare to look at their father's face.

" Is this the behavior of a noble Princess huh?...are you not ashamed of being laughed at?"

" Explain to Father, why are you fighting?"

Anum and Arum looked at each other, still with hostile gazes.

" Answer.." - Gusti Romo snapped in a thunderous voice.

Anum and Arum played both their fingers, they were afraid that their Father was angry.

" Anu Romo, this is all that began Arum Romo.he does not accept Anum has received Raden Bondo's proposal," replied Anum timidly.

" Lying Father....Arum is angry because Anum did not explain to Romo that Raden Bondo is Arum Romo's lover," Arum said in self-defense.

Gusti Romo was shocked, he did not know Raden Bondo had been in a relationship with Arum, his youngest daughter.

Why did Bondo's father propose to Anum? not Arum?

Had Raden Bondo not told his father that Arum who became his lover was not Anum.

Gusti Romo could only massage his temple.

" Romo can not say much, do not make this problem complicated. Romo had already accepted Raden Bondo's proposal for Anum," Gusti Romo finally said after thinking for a moment.

" Arum, Romo hope you forget your feelings for Raden Bondo, now he is your brother Anum's lover," Romo looked at Arum.

Arum was disappointed with his Roman decision, his father should have discussed this with Raden Bondo's father Gusti Arya.

Anum looked at Arum with a triumphant mocking smile, Arum snorted at him.

Arum does not accept if Anum is the winner. He felt it was unfair to him.

Arum is not willing, seeing Raden Bondo belong to Anum.

Arum has given up on Anum.

His sister was always followed by their Father in any case.

" If Mother were still there..," he murmured in his heart.

Their mother had died a few years ago, and their father remarried Gusti Ayu Sinta who was only two and three years old with the age of Anum and Arum.

Anum is one year older than Arum. People who do not know them will think Raden Ayu Sinta is their eldest brother.

Raden Ayu Sinta is more closely related to Anum than to Arum.

This is because Anum is smart to take the heart of Raden Ayu Sinta by often licking it.

With his cleverness often praising Raden Ayu Sinta, Raden Ayu Sinta became lulled.

This was done Anum so that his Rome followed whatever she wanted with the persuasion of Raden Ayu Sinta.

While Arum could not take Raden Ayu Sinta's heart, he did not like his father looking for a successor from his mother, especially the young age, more deserving to be a child of his Rome.

Arum felt Raden Ayu Sinta had seized the position of his mother in the eyes of his father.

That is why, Arum is not like Anum who all his will is obeyed by his Rome.

" Arum will forget Kanda Bondo, if that is the will of Kanda Bondo Romo. But Arum had to ask this to Kanda Bondo first" Arum said.

" Can't, Romo doesn't want to offend Gusti Arya's family..," snapped Gusti Lingga.

" But Arum is also Princess Romo, maybe Gusti Arya can accept it Romo..," Arum argued.

" You must not be stubborn Arum, Romo does not want to be considered a plan like Gusti Arya, do not need to be extended.sufficiently you forget Raden Bondo," Gusti Romo or Gusti Lingga pointed at Arum.

" Roman is not fair.." cried Arum.

" The plaque.." Gusti Romo slapped his youngest daughter.

Arum widened his eyes. He held her red cheek.

His glazed eyes were already filled with tears that he could not resist.

Arum ran away from the house....

Two servants chased him, they felt sorry for Arum.

**************

Anum laughed with some of his female friends who were all Dutch Noni-Noni.

They were blond, fair-skinned with little spots on their cheeks.

They used a lacy long dress whose middle of the dress ballooned to the tip like a balloon.

Anum likes to hang out with Dutch Noni-Noni.

Besides because it was because Anum liked them, also because of the trade relations between their families, he said, so the children of the nobility at that time many associate with the Dutch and their descendants who have lived settled on the island of Java.

Anum his heart is happy, finally he can take Raden Bondo from the hands of his brother Arum.

Anum's heart has long been jealous to see Arum who became the lover of his girlfriend.

Raden Bondo is a charming man, many noble girls who try to attract the attention of Raden Bondo including Anum.

But Raden Bondo is more interested in Arum.

Raden Bondo does not know Anum likes and expects his love in return.

Anum bravely expressed his feelings for Raden Bondo, but Raden Bondo did not respond at that time.

Although Anum was a princess of noble descent but because of his association with the Dutch people who are more free to talk and behave, so Anum did not feel ashamed to approach Raden Bondo and express his feelings first to Raden Bondo.
