Arum approached Raden Dito.
"Are you going to hurt me too?" Arum rubbed Raden Dito's neck.
Both of his hands were in a position ready to strangle...
Raden Dito was silent, like a body without a soul.
Raden Dito's eyes were blank.
Arum laughs....
He lowered his hands that were ready to choke.
"It's not time for you to die yet, I still need you" Arum grinned.
" Remember you must hate Ningrum, from now on he's not your lover anymore."
" If you meet him, you'll be rude to him" Ningrum blew Raden Dito's head off.
Raden Dito nodded.
"Go home with your carriage," Ningrum ordered.
Raden Dito walked up to his horse-drawn carriage and drove it home.
Arum stared at Raden Dito's back until the horse-drawn carriage that carried him veered towards the bend of the road.
Arum laughed
"Ha.ha..all according to plan.."
Ningrum turned his body upside down then turned around to walk back towards the forbidden forest.
**********
Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha in the morning were preparing to go to the home of Raden Dito's parents, the family residence of Gusti Brijaya and Raden Ayu Kiswani.
They wanted to complain about Raden Dito's actions to their daughter Ningrum and make calculations with Raden Dito.
A servant who doubles as his coachman is waiting on a horse carriage belonging to the Gusti Arya family.
Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha then boarded the horse carriage.
" Ki Street.." Gusti Arya's orders to Ki Anjar.
" Good Gusti" replied Ki Anjar, the coachman.
Ki Anjar was running the horse carriage at medium speed.
When they arrived at Gusti Brijaya's residence, they immediately got off the horse-drawn carriage.
A gardener who was cleaning the courtyard of Gusti Brijaya house welcomed them and invited the two guests he had known as his prospective guest to enter the house.
The gardener then ran in to call Gusti Brijaya and Raden Ayu Kiswani who were at the back of the house.
"Sorry Gusti there's a guest in front...Gusti Arya and his wife are coming" he reported.
Gusti Brijaya looked at his wife, Raden Ayu Kiswani.
They wondered why Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha had come to visit their home so early.
" Send the waiter to serve a warm drink to the guests" Gusti Brijaya ordered the gardener.
" Good Gusti," he replied, bowing his body.
"There must be something important" Gusti Arya told Raden Ayu Kiswani.
Raden Ayu Kiswani nodded his head.
They rushed out to meet Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha who were already sitting waiting in the living room.
" Good morning Kangmas and Nimas" said Gusti Brijaya and Raden Ayu Kiswani.
" Good morning." replied Raden Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha.
Raden Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha are older than Raden Brijaya and Raden Ayu Kiswani, so they call Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha with the calls of Kangmas and Nimas.
Gusti Brijaya and Raden Ayu Kiswani then sat down.
"Tumben Kangmas and Nimas come to visit early in the morning, what is the important thing?" ask Gusti Brijaya.
" I'm sorry that our arrival here annoys Dimas and Diajeng" Raden Arya said.
" Of course not Kangmas" replied Gusti Brijaya.
"Excuse me.."
A waiter carried a tray containing four cups of tea and placed it on the guest table.
"Actually our arrival is here because of our son and daughter's problems" Raden Arya explained.
" If you can tell, what's this about? Gusti Brijaya asked. He and Raden Ayu Kiswani were astonished.
"Raden Ditonya is still sleeping Nimas, last night he came home a little late and late," replied Raden Ayu Kiswani.
"Didn't Raden Dito's yesterday pick up Ningrum and play at Kangmas and Nimas' house?" added again.
Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha looked at each other.
Raden Dito's parents certainly did not know what Raden Dito did to their daughter, Ningrum.
" What's the matter with Kangmas, Nimas?" ask Raden Ayu Kiswani.
Raden Ayu Kiswani suspects that something must have happened between Raden Dito and Ningrum.
Gusti Arya looked at Raden Ayu Ditha before answering Raden Ayu Kiswani's question.
Raden Ayu Ditha nodded her head giving the code to Gusti Arya to explain everything.
" Look at Dimas and Diajeng, I'll just get to the point...Raden Dito has betrayed our daughter, Ningrum... Raden Dito had already dared to slap Ningrum," Gusti Arya recounted at length.
Gusti Brijaya and Raden Ayu Kiswani were aghast, they looked at each other.
Then their gazes turned to Gusti Arya.
"Is that really Kangmas?" ask Gusti Brijaya.
Gusti Brijaya and Gusti Ayu Kiswani could not believe Gusti Arya's story just like that.
During this time they saw Raden Dito loved Ningrum so much and never close to other women after both of them had a relationship that had been agreed by both sides of the family.
"Maybe Dimas and Diajeng didn't believe it, we didn't believe it."
"But Ningrum never lied, yesterday he came home crying" Raden Ayu Ditha explained.
"Let it be clearer and there is no misunderstanding, can Raden Dito be sent here?" ask Gusti Arya.
" Wake up Raden Dito Dinda" Gusti Brijaya ordered to his wife.
Raden Ayu Kiswani got up from his seat, he then walked towards Raden Dito's bedroom.
Tok.shock.
Raden Ayu Kiswani walked into his son's unlocked room, after waiting for a while at the door.
He could not wait to hear the truth from the mouth of his own son.
Raden Dito appears to be asleep in a prone position.
Raden Ayu Kiswani approached his son and patted his arm.
" Wake up..wake up....."
Raden Dito moved his body.
" Mmmm still sleepy Mother." he replied lazily.
" Wake up now, there is a guest.Ningrum's parents came," Raden Ayu Kiswani told his son.
Raden Dito opened his eyes slowly.
He turned around in a recumbent position.
" Why did the morning come, Bun?" tanyanya rubbed her eyes.
" There is something important to ask you, son," replied Raden Ayu Kiswani.
Raden Dito woke up and sat on the edge of the bed.
" Hurry and wash your face and go to the living room" Raden Ayu Kiswani told Raden Dito.
Raden Ayu Kiswani then came out of Raden Dito's room, returned to the living room to meet her husband and the two candidates made.
Raden Dito lazily got up and walked out to the back of his house to wash his face.
While Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha are still waiting for Raden Dito to meet them.
"Diminum the Kangmas tea...Nimas," Raden Ayu Kiswani invited his two guests to drink tea that had been served at the guest table.
Gusti Arya and Raden Ayu Ditha drank tea served in honor of the host.
Raden Dito appears in the living room.
He just stood quietly in front of both his parents and Ningrum's parents.
Raden Ayu Kiswani was astonished to see Raden Dito who was just silent and did not greet Ningrum's parents.
" Kiddo, what's wrong with you? where's your manners?" Gusti Brijaya rebuked his son with a rather loud voice.
She's shy...
"I...."
